As for the next teams, the dinner ingredients provided by Gongsun Yan will be different depending on their ranking. Most of them are various instant foods or things similar to cooking packs. Otherwise, do you expect these rich kids to be able to make such complicated preparations?
As for the team ranked last, Gongsun Yan gave a very special punishment, which was that he would not provide fast food, but instead provide the same ingredients as the first place, with the quality guaranteed to be comparable, and then let them cook their own dinner.
Of course, Gongsun Yan will be there to help, and will demonstrate it in advance for their reference, and will ensure that the final product is edible and there will not be any adverse reactions.
The boy who made the mistake was actually in a team that was ranked first today, but because of his mistake, the team's ranking dropped one place. He had already imagined how he would be bullied by his teammates after returning to the camp.
"By the way, this can of energy cubes is for you. Go and apologize to Mosquito Repellent Tadpole first. After all, you were the one who disturbed him first."
Just as the boy was about to run away, Gongsun Yan reached out to stop him, took out a small can of energy cubes from his pocket, handed it to him, and pointed to the tadpole with circle eyes that was brought back by Xinlinbao. The meaning was self-evident.
"Okay, I know."
Hearing this, the boy obediently took the energy block from Gongsun Yan's hand, walked towards the direction of the mosquito coil tadpole, gently woke the other party up and started talking.
Chapter 12 Changed Rules
"Ah~, this has been the first time, how can I put it, are these kids too good at talking, or are these Pokémon too naive."
Gongsun Yan looked at the Poké Ball in his hand and inexplicably began to have a headache. This was the nth time in the past few days that he had to help the children keep the Poké Balls.
The origin of the matter was actually very simple. A little girl under Gongsun Yan's command had a small dispute with a walking grass. Then, with Gongsun Yan's mediation, not only did the two of them reconcile, the walking grass even decided to follow the other.
After Gongsun Yan repeatedly confirmed the intentions of the Walking Grass, he decisively took out a blank Poké Ball and gave it to the little girl, allowing the little girl to capture the Walking Grass.
It’s just that because Professor Oak mentioned in the summer camp rules that children are not allowed to carry Poké Balls containing Pokémon, and that they must enjoy authentic summer camp life, the little girl couldn’t bring Pokémon with her.
But how could the little girl who had just conquered a new partner be willing to accept the fact that Zou Zou Cao could not be by her side? So she decisively launched an eye attack on Gongsun Yan, hoping that Gongsun Yan could help her solve this problem.
In fact, Gongsun Yan had flatly refused at first. As the team leader, how could he break the rules? If he took the lead in breaking the rules, it would be difficult to lead the team.
As it turned out, Liliae happened to come to see Gongsun Yan, and naturally found out about this matter. Then Liliae decisively supported the little girl, hoping that Gongsun Yan could come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.
Gongsun Yan knew that you can't have your cake and eat it too, but since his girlfriend asked him to do so, he could only agree to give it a try.
As the saying goes, the person who makes the rules is often the one who knows how to break the rules best, and is also the one who knows the loopholes in the rules best. Although Gongsun Yan is not the one who made the rules, he knows them very well, so it is easy for him to find a loophole.
So Gongsun Yan thought about it for less than two minutes and came up with a solution, which was to let the children leave their Poké Balls with him, and the Pokémon would be released out of the balls to accompany the children. They just had to keep the Pokémon from returning to the Poké Balls during the summer camp.
The reason why Professor Oak set this rule was mainly because some children would carry Pokémon given by adults for self-protection. The existence of these Pokémon is not only a huge hidden danger, but will also destroy the original intention of Professor Oak to hold this summer camp.
Letting a child carry a powerful Pokémon is like having a child with a gun in a busy city. Although you know that the child can't even hold the gun steadily and you don't know where the aim is, but that's what makes people scared, right? You don't know if the other party will shoot, and who will be hit if the gun is shot.
Compared to worrying about whether "man is born good" or "man is born evil", Gongsun Yan belongs to the neutral faction. He classifies all children into the neutral and chaotic camp.
What is neutral chaos? It's simple. Crazy, moody, and similar adjectives can be applied to neutral chaotic people. However, they are different from people in the chaotic evil camp like the Joker. They can be as holy as angels, but also as deadly as demons.
After an incident, Professor Oak wrote this rule at the top of the summer camp rules and enforced it strictly, not allowing anyone to break it.
But people are flexible. After listening to Gongsun Yan's reasons, Professor Oak thought for a long time and finally agreed to Gongsun Yan's request. During the summer camp, the children can keep the Pokémon they have captured with them, but at night they must return them to the Poké Balls and hand them over to the team leader for safekeeping.
After getting Professor Oak's permission, Gongsun Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he acted very confident in front of the children, he really didn't know whether Professor Oak would agree to this matter.
In fact, Gongsun Yan has even made a plan B, which is to put these Pokémon under his own name and return them to them after the summer camp is over. As a team leader, isn't it normal for him to let his Pokémon guard his team members all day long?
But since Professor Oak agreed, Gongsun Yan didn't have to think too much. He even gathered the members from Xiaozhi's side together, announced the good news in public, and won cheers from all the children present.
Then Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi had several more Poké Balls in their hands. These were Pokémon that the children had captured by themselves. Although they were all relatively common Pokémon, for these children, they were priceless friends, or even family members.
However, there is one difference. The members on Ash's side have perfectly inherited Ash's characteristics. They basically rely on talking to capture Pokémon. There is even a very brave little boy who replicated one of Ash's famous scenes. He took a wooden stick and went to fight a Giant Claw with it. As a result, he actually captured the Pokémon. It was outrageous.
The members on Gongsun Yan's side were more civilized, but only slightly so. Just like the little boy who had just tamed the tadpole, they used a two-pronged approach of verbal persuasion and food temptation. Their success rate was actually quite high, but there were still instances of physical combat.
There is no difference between their plans in terms of who is better or worse, they are both methods for capturing Pokémon. However, if Gongsun Yan were to say, if he had the same physique as Satoshi, why would he bother with talking? Wouldn't it be faster to just go in and capture Pokémon with hand-to-hand combat?
"Forget it, forget it. As long as this tadpole follows the other party, he will have no worries about food and clothing." Gongsun Yan put a tadpole sticker on the Poké Ball and then put it into his backpack.
This is also the reason why Gongsun Yan would promote the achievement of this matter. These wild Pokémon are actually quite difficult to capture. Not to mention being exposed to the wind and sun, going hungry for two meals is also commonplace. Being able to be subdued by a young master of a wealthy family is also a good thing.
As for why they are called young masters from wealthy families? Apart from Xiaozhi, who was brought here by Professor Oak because he lived in the local area, which of the other people's families are poor? How could they bring their children from other areas to attend the summer camp without money?
In fact, this summer camp is said to let children experience the scenery of nature and get close to Pokémon, but in fact it is more like a small social venue, not only for children to make friends, but also to bring adults closer together.
Being captured by such a family, not to mention that the children attach great importance to their first Pokémon, even if it is left idle afterwards, it is still better than being in the wild.
Chapter 13: The Last Day's Plan
"I'm going to start!"
In the evening, on a meadow in the forest, Gongsun Yan and the children under his command sat together, eating their meals together.
Although everyone had different dishes in their bowls, Gongsun Yan still forced everyone to eat together. After all, even if they were divided into different teams, they were still partners, and doing so could enhance their tacit understanding.
And when the children gathered together to eat, if they exchanged the food in their bowls, Gongsun Yan would turn a blind eye. As long as the nutrition was balanced, he hoped that the children would learn to share. Except for not wasting food, all other decisions were left to the children themselves.
Every time at this time, Gongsun Yan would happily watch the children share their dinner. The first and last place teams were no exception. No one would refuse to share just because their dinner was too good or too bad.
When the others were sharing dinner, they would at most complain about why the last-place team’s cooking skills were so poor, and then finish their food obediently.
In this atmosphere, the relationships among Gongsun Yan's team became very harmonious. Presumably, even after the summer camp was over, the friendship among these children would not fade. There would be many close friends, besties, and gay friends, and situations like that between Xiaozhi and Serena would not be uncommon.
As for Xiaozhi, although Gongsun Yan doesn't know what Xiaozhi's teaching policy is, even considering Xiaozhi's IQ outside of battle, whether he has a teaching policy is still a big question.
But even so, Gongsun Yan had to admit that the situation on Xiaozhi's side was even better than his. If the children on Gongsun Yan's side became good friends, Xiaozhi could almost block bullets for them.
Is this the assimilation of a reckless man? Gongsun Yan didn't know, but considering Xiaozhi's personality charm, it was not surprising that this effect would occur.
But this actually has both advantages and disadvantages. That is, if there are still a few people on Gongsun Yan's side who may become lovers, then Xiaozhi's side will all be brothers, and there will be no sign of sparks at all. This is quite consistent with Xiaozhi's nature, he is a wooden man.
To be honest, Gongsun Yan always feels old when he sees the naive friendship and love between these children who are only a few years younger than himself. This actually has little to do with age, but something to do with life experience.
It's still the same old questions. Because of his experience, Gongsun Yan treats these children like an old father, so it's normal for him to feel happy and happy about it.
However, those little girls who have "ulterior motives" towards Gongsun Yan may not know that the dream lover in their eyes not only does not want to be their bedmate, but wants to be their father.
Ah this...the Prime Minister is ecstatic, the Prime Minister is ecstatic.
When the members of Gongsun Yan's team finished dinner and packed up their things, Gongsun Yan drove them back to the tent. Early to bed and early to rise were the real thing. There were no entertainment facilities late at night anyway, so the job of keeping watch was naturally the job of Gongsun Yan, the team leader.
Just as Gongsun Yan was standing next to the fire, preparing to make a final check before going to sleep, Gongsun Yan would certainly not forget to keep watch. However, compared to asking him to do it, it would be more normal to let his Pokémon do it.
"Hey, Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan, over here."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the bushes nearby. When Gongsun Yan turned around, he found that it was indeed Xiaozhi.
"Hey, you're here too. What are you doing there? Isn't it nice to be next to the fire?"
Gongsun Yan felt a little strange. It was obvious that he would feel more comfortable next to the fire, so why did Xiaozhi ask him to go over there? This was a little strange. Gongsun Yan quickly became alert.
"Well, this is hard to say. It's tomorrow night." Xiaozhi hesitated to speak.
"Oh, I remember now. Wait a moment, I'll be there soon. Gardevoir, I'll leave the night watch to you."
Following Xiaozhi's reminder, Gongsun Yan also realized that he had forgotten a very important thing. He quickly handed the task of keeping watch to Gardevoir, and crouched down and rushed out of the tent. His movement did not even alarm the children in the tent.
After Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi met up, neither of them spoke. They walked away in tacit understanding, and only stopped when they felt that the children from the two camps could no longer hear their conversation.
"Tomorrow is the last day of summer camp, right? Xiaoyan, you should have thought about how to carry out the activity you mentioned."
As soon as the two stopped, Xiaozhi took the lead in asking Gongsun Yan. From the first day they took over the summer camp, Gongsun Yan said that he would organize an activity on the last day so that these children could have a good time.
After hearing Gongsun Yan's proposal, Xiao Zhi naturally agreed with it wholeheartedly. After all, he was also a playful person. In addition, he had not thought of what activities to do on the last day, so he let Gongsun Yan come up with the idea.
But in the blink of an eye, the summer camp has reached its final stage, and Gongsun Yan has not yet told him what the specific plan is. This makes Xiaozhi worried, so he comes to Gongsun Yan to find out.
"Well~, originally I was planning to let these kids command our two Pokémon to have a battle, but then I found that it wasn't going to work. It's easier on your side, but none of these uncles I have agreed, so Plan A was aborted." Gongsun Yan said helplessly.
"What about plan B?" Xiaozhi asked.
"Take them camping."
"...What do you think we've been doing these days?"
"I feel very annoyed too. Who would have thought that Professor Oak would decide the schedule of the summer camp? As a result, my thoughts are blocked."
Gongsun Yan was also very desperate. He thought about it for a long time and came up with countless plan Bs, but they were all rejected one by one by Professor Oak. This made Gongsun Yan decide to take it one step at a time.
"In the end, I can only make do with a plan that Professor Oak approves of. Let's take the kids fishing tomorrow. It can kill time, and maybe we can even recruit new friends, whether it's the two of us or the kids."
"That's it? This is too ordinary."
"Indeed, but there are more unusual steps. Let's have a showdown battle," Gongsun Yan suggested.
Chapter 14: Catching a Magikarp doesn’t count as a failure!
After hearing that he could have a battle, Xiaozhi agreed immediately. He didn't care whether it was an exhibition match or not. It had been such a long time since he had a proper battle, and Xiaozhi was already itching to do it.
As for the question of whether Ash had fought against Mao before, this question is actually easy to explain. Apart from the initial battle which was considered exciting, Mao came to Ash afterwards only to challenge Suicune, which meant that Ash didn't have a good time at all.
That's why Xiaozhi agreed to Gongsun Yan's plan so easily, even though he saw that Gongsun Yan was simply itching to go fishing. As long as he could have a battle with Gongsun Yan in the end, he didn't care much about the process.
After discussing some details, the two team leaders returned to their tents to sleep. Because of the presence of Gardevoir, Gongsun Yan could use her super powers throughout the camp, even underground, even if Gardevoir was in a meditative state at night.
As for Xiaozhi, he has a similar method, but it is much more convenient than Gongsun Yan's because he doesn't need to ask his Pokémon for help at all. His wave power is the best detector.
That's right, during these days back in Kanto, Xiaozhi successfully developed his own wave power... Well, actually it's not really called development, it's entirely the result of the wave power's own efforts.
Let’s take an example from Yamaguchi Mountain. As we all know, elemental shaman is a profession that can communicate with the elemental power between heaven and earth and use this energy to cast various shaman spells.
The famous World Shaman, Sarger, successfully changed his job to Shaman with the help of Drek'Thar. His strength increased greatly and the title of World Shaman was earned by him.
If other elemental shamans are kneeling and licking the elemental spirits in order to gain the right to use elemental magic, then Thrall is the one recognized by the elemental spirits, and they will give all their power to Thrall to drive.
Xiaozhi's situation is a bit similar to Thrall's, but also a bit different. Thrall is a person recognized by the elemental spirits, and Xiaozhi is almost equivalent to the elemental spirits themselves. Xiaozhi doesn't even need to learn much, the wave power in his body will continue to emerge.
According to Xiaozhi, his waveguide is now able to cover most of Pallet Town. If he wants, he can be the first to know when something happens in this half of Pallet Town.
Even if Xiaozhi falls into a deep sleep, the power of wave will subconsciously spread around Xiaozhi. If there is danger, the power of wave will wake Xiaozhi up in time and form a wave shield to protect Xiaozhi.
When Gongsun Yan heard the news for the first time, he didn't believe it. Your wave power has only been awakened for a month, so how could such a terrifying amount be possible? If you say you are the World Tree, I will believe you.
However, reality is sometimes so dreamy. After confirmation from Lucario, Gongsun Yan had to believe that in just one month, Xiaozhi's wave power had gone from being exhausted after supporting Lizard King in a three-minute battle to being able to cover most of Pallet Town for an hour.
As the price of knowing this news, Gongsun Yan's Lucario has not yet broken free from his autism. He finds it hard to accept that the waves in his body are not as many as those in a human's body. Not only is the quantity inferior, but even the quality is inferior.
After discovering this cruel fact, Lucario looked like a lost cause in life. No matter how much Gongsun Yan comforted him or prepared special energy blocks for him, it was of no use. There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.
There was no other choice, Gongsun Yan could only send Lucario back to the Odamaki Laboratory, hoping that the other Pokémon left there could help him get out of the shadow.
..........................................................................................
"Why, why is it Magikarp again? Is there nothing else in this stream except Magikarp?!"
"Uh, Xiaoyan, calm down. Don't be so impulsive. Put the Poké Ball down."
Next to a stream with a small waterfall outside Pallet Town, Gongsun Yan was roaring at the stream in front of him with a look of pain on his face. A fishing rod broken in half fell to the side, and Xiaozhi was using all his strength to stop Gongsun Yan from throwing the Poké Ball.
All of their teammates fled to a safe distance, and one by one they poked their heads out from behind the trees to observe the situation on the field. Although the few water Pokémon they had just captured didn't know what was going on, they also imitated their trainers' actions and hid aside.
This scene is very obvious. Although Gongsun Yan didn't catch anything in today's fishing activity, all the fish he caught were Magikarp. So is this lucky or unlucky? Anyway, judging from Gongsun Yan's performance, it should be unlucky.
If that were the case, Gongsun Yan would not be so "excited". After all, he is also a veteran fisherman. If he has not been caught a few times, can he be considered a veteran fisherman? Of course not.
However, this situation would not happen to other people. Although many people failed to gain the favor of the Pokémon they caught, they still gained a lot, at least they gained happiness. But Gongsun Yan did not do that.
To be honest, Gongsun Yan must have caught no less than twenty carp on this day. Among them, there was one carp that Gongsun Yan caught ten times because he was too stubborn or too stupid, but he still didn't repent.
In the end, Gongsun Yan was moved by his "perseverance" and reluctantly took out a Poké Ball to capture the other party. After preparation, he sent him to the Odamaki Research Institute to live out his retirement.
It's no wonder that Gongsun Yan is so resistant. A simple calculation will show that the most common Poké Ball costs two hundred League Coins, and the market price of a Magikarp is only five hundred. It would be good if the buyer is willing to pay three hundred. If you take the time cost into account, it's not a loss at all. It can be said that it barely breaks even.
The only creature that can compare with Magikarp is probably the Weepy Smelt. The market price of a Weepy Smelt is one hundred Alliance Coins.
Yes, you heard it right. When a Poké Ball costs 200 League Coins, a Smellyfish only costs 100 Yuan, which shows how cheap Smellyfish are. In addition, the schooling characteristic of fish is not so easy to trigger, so basically no one will cultivate a Pokémon like Smellyfish.
It is precisely because of this that Gongsun Yan is so painful. He was originally planning to set an example for his team members, but with this performance, he is afraid that he has even lost face.
Chapter 15 An unexpected factor appears
"Xiaozhi, don't stop me. I must see what is in the water today. How dare you trick me like this!" Gongsun Yan struggled violently.
Although Gongsun Yan's physical fitness is very good, it is obviously not good enough compared with Xiaozhi's bug. Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi were in a stalemate for several minutes and were unable to break free.
In fact, it’s not quite right to say that it was a stalemate. It should be said that Gongsun Yan was forcibly suppressed by Xiaozhi for several minutes, and was finally successfully "persuaded" by Xiaozhi to give up his childish behavior.
"Okay, I get it. I'll just check to see if there are any other Pokémon under the water. I promise I won't act rashly. Okay?"
As soon as Gongsun Yan broke free from the situation of being pinned down by a man, he couldn't wait to get into the water to find out what was going on. Xiaozhi also saw that Gongsun Yan was not acting on impulse, so he didn't continue to stop him.
"Splash~"
