"That's hard to say. I always feel that he is not an easy person to deal with. My first impression of him is actually very bad. Maybe he and I are destined to be incompatible." Gongsun Yan shook his head. He knew how twisted Xiao Hao's personality was in the anime. Professor Oak's idea was basically impossible to achieve.
But then again, Gongsun Yan didn't dare to guarantee anything. Maybe in this world, Xiao Hao would change? After all, everything is possible, right?
Of course, before long, Gongsun Yan might want to run back to the present time and pour out the water in his head. He actually still had a little thought about Xiao Hao becoming a good man. He was really too young. In the end, he had to go all over the mountains and plains to deal with the mess left by the other party. He was about to break up.
"Come to think of it, it does seem to be true. I remember we met such a person when we were traveling in Hoenn. At that time, Xiaoyan, you weren't as irritable as you are today." Xiaozhi said thoughtfully.
"Really? It seems to be the case. Was my attitude really so different these two times?" Gongsun Yan thought about it carefully and found that what Xiaozhi said didn't seem to be the case. Could it be that he really subconsciously harbored malice towards Xiaohao?
"It's quite a difference, isn't it, Pikachu?"
"Pickup!"
"miu~"
"Okay, okay, I get it. I'll pay attention next time... Wait, Meow? When did you come back?" Gongsun Yan pointed at Xiaozhi's shoulder and shouted.
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, the two people and one Pokémon present also shifted their gaze over and discovered a cat, Mew, who was lying comfortably on Xiaozhi's shoulder.
"Wow, Xiaozhi, you are really loved by the divine beasts." Gongsun Yan could hardly suppress the envy in his tone.
Professor Oak on the side also nodded sincerely. He had had this idea a long time ago, ever since he and Satoshi met Celebi in his childhood. Everything that happened to Satoshi afterwards also confirmed his idea.
"Haha, it's not that good." Facing Gongsun Yan's 'praise', Xiaozhi nodded very embarrassedly. Pikachu had the same reaction as Xiaozhi. Sure enough, Pokémon will become more and more like their trainers.
"Hey, Xiaozhi, um, um, you know what I mean." Suddenly, Gongsun Yan gave Xiaozhi two looks, and signaled to Menghuan with his eyes, silently giving a thumbs up.
Xiao Zhi obviously understood Gongsun Yan's eye signal and gave Gongsun Yan a look that said "leave it to me". This is the tacit understanding and eye contact between men.
"Miu~? (What do you mean by that?)"
Suddenly, a soft and sticky voice sounded in the minds of Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi, scaring them both. Their eye contact was actually seen through. Who was so terrifying?
"Um, Menghuan, it turns out you can read eyes." Gongsun Yan said a little embarrassedly.
Dr. Oak looked at Gongsun Yan in surprise, and then quickly realized that the people in front of him were having a telepathic conversation and had just ignored him. However, he didn't care much. All he wanted now was how to get some hair from Menghuan for research.
However, Professor Oak's gaze was too obvious. Mew immediately discovered that the white-haired old man seemed to have bad intentions. She quickly switched positions with Pikachu and used Satoshi's head to block Professor Oak's sight.
"miu~ (I don't understand, but I can read minds.)" Menghuan tilted her head cutely, as if wondering what the look in Gongsun Yan's mouth meant.
“Oh, so that’s how it is…” Gongsun Yan nodded awkwardly. Mind reading was such a bug that he didn’t know how to explain it.
"miu~ (So, what does it mean?)" Menghuan continued to ask.
"Um, this, that, actually." Gongsun Yan stammered, not knowing how to explain, so he could only look to Xiaozhi for help, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.
Xiaozhi did not disappoint Gongsun Yan's expectations. He stood up directly and used words to solve Gongsun Yan's current dilemma.
"What Xiaoyan wants to say is actually to let me improve your favorability and try to see if I can win you over." Xiaozhi said firmly.
"Well, you are worthy of being Xiaozhi. You stood up without hesitation in this situation. You are indeed a trustworthy friend. But why did you solve the problem by self-destructing?" Gongsun Yan felt like crying but had no tears.
"miu~ (I see, so why not just say no? Of course.)"
"Hey, Xiaozhi, I've already told you that you can't be so direct, you have to be gentle and kind... Wait? Mew, what did you say? I must have heard it wrong. You actually said no, right?"
Gongsun Yan was originally planning to scold Xiaozhi for wasting such a good opportunity, but he was only halfway through his sermon when he suddenly realized that Menghuan didn't seem to refuse!
"Mew, are you telling the truth? Then please give me your guidance!" After hearing what Mew said, Xiaozhi was overjoyed, and quickly took out an ordinary red and white Poké Ball and placed it in front of Mew.
"Bang! Ding!" The Poké Ball just shook a little and then stopped, which shows that Mew has no intention of resisting Xiaozhi at all.
"Then, Dream, I have conquered you!"
Xiaozhi struck his signature pose, and Pikachu followed suit. It was obvious that ordinary Poké Balls could not prevent Pokémon of Mew's level from entering and exiting freely.
So in the end, Mew also ran out of the Poké Ball in time and joined Ash's signature pose, and there was no sense of incongruity at all.
Chapter 22: Professor Oak's Dream
After conquering a new partner, Xiaozhi and Pikachu happily chatted with Mew, and did not notice that Gongsun Yan and Professor Oak had been petrified nearby. Their outlook on life and the world seemed to have changed drastically.
Gongsun Yan had actually already imagined how much Xiaozhi would be attracted to the legendary beasts, but reality always slapped him in the face again and again, causing Gongsun Yan to feel a burning pain on his face.
I didn't expect that even a mythical beast like Mew, which is known for its mystery, couldn't resist Satoshi's charm. This shows how high Satoshi's affinity is, even though the power of wave is fanning the flames in the dark.
It is normal for Professor Oak to have this reaction. Although he knows that Satoshi has good luck with legendary beasts, he has never seen it with his own eyes, so Professor Oak still has some doubts.
But now that Xiaozhi had demonstrated in front of him how to get a legendary beast to be tamed voluntarily within five minutes, Professor Oak had no choice but to believe it, otherwise it would not be enough to explain everything that was happening before his eyes.
However, after a short period of petrification, Professor Oak immediately recovered because he thought of something. Since Satoshi has captured Mew, does that mean that his long-cherished idea of studying Mew may very likely come true?
Thinking of this, Professor Oak instantly shifted his gaze to Mew who was flying beside Satoshi. A creepy light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually got out of control.
"miu!"
Huanhuan, who was originally carefree, suddenly felt a strong malice descending upon him, even stronger than that of the dark-skinned child just now. This made Huanhuan shiver uncontrollably and he immediately disappeared into the air.
"Eh? Menghuan, what's wrong with you? Why are you lying on my back?"
However, the dreamy invisibility is not the kind of skill to sneak into another space after all, but a simple method of using the refraction of light to hide one's body.
Although this technique is very flexible, the biggest problem is that his weight cannot be changed, and he is reluctant to come down from Satoshi's moving World Tree, so he was exposed by Satoshi who had no idea what was going on.
"Ahem, Xiaozhi, there's something I don't know if it's appropriate to say it out loud, but it's something I've dreamed of for a long time, and I don't know if I can do it." Professor Oak rarely hesitated.
"Professor Oak, please feel free to say anything you want to say. I'm usually well taken care of by you, so there's no need to be so restrained." Xiaozhi patted his chest and promised.
"Then I feel relieved. Actually..." Professor Oak was overjoyed after hearing what Xiaozhi said, and quickly expressed his thoughts.
At this time, Gongsun Yan had not yet recovered from his confused state. After all, he recalled the time when he subdued Groudon and Rayquaza. Although it seemed simple, it was only possible because he had done a good job in the early stages.
But what about Xiaozhi? Suicune was recruited by the Rainbow Feather that Xiaozhi picked up when he went out. There was even a Ho-Oh standing behind the Rainbow Feather that had taken a fancy to Xiaozhi. It was hard to say about the other two sacred beasts.
And now there is another Mew that has come to the door. Although the reason why this Mew relies on Xiaozhi is the huge wave power in Xiaozhi's body, this wave power is also Xiaozhi's own power. Even if it is not activated in the finals of the Caiyou Conference, it will be automatically unsealed sooner or later.
Well, having said so much, the fact is that Gongsun Yan is already too jealous. If this was not the world of Pokémon, Gongsun Yan would be suppressed. If it were in the world of Kamen Rider, he felt that he could compete with Kakogawa Hiryu. He is the king of jealousy.
While Gongsun Yan was silently complaining, Xiaozhi and Professor Oak had already broken up. Or rather, it was not Xiaozhi and Professor Oak that broke up, but after hearing Professor Oak's request, Mew directly started to run away, and Professor Oak had to keep chasing after him.
One of them is the famous regional doctor, and the other is Mew, who is known as the ancestor of Pokémon. As a result, this man and Pokémon are like naughty children, and they mess up the entire Oak Research Institute.
But in the end, Professor Oak was the better one. He used the information he got from President Damaranch and realized that Mew was actually a greedy foodie. He used a food offensive to break down Mew's defenses, and finally gained Mew's consent and cooperation.
However, Mew only agreed to let Professor Oak conduct some basic experiments, such as measuring height and weight, and what moves can be used and learned. More in-depth research is not allowed.
However, Menghuan was still quite considerate of Professor Oak. After all, the table full of desserts was really to Menghuan's liking, so Menghuan generously gave Professor Oak a small handful of her own fallen hair for him to study.
But don't think too much about it. Since Huanhuan dared to reveal his DNA, he must have made corresponding backup plans. Twenty-four hours after Huanhuan gave him the tuft of hair, they disappeared automatically without any residue left.
The data recorded by Professor Oak was not lost, but without samples, those data would be nothing but rootless duckweed and could only serve as a reference at most.
Although Professor Oak felt a little disappointed about this, he was relieved to a greater extent. After all, he had heard about Team Rocket's creation of Mewtwo.
The only Mew gene that Team Rocket used to create Mewtwo was that eyelash fossil. There weren't many genes stored in it to begin with, and they were completely depleted after Mewtwo was created.
If anyone knew that Dr. Oak had so many dream gene samples in his hands, then the Oak Research Institute would have no peace, and even the entire Pallet Town would be implicated.
But Professor Oak still doesn't dare to hand these things over to the alliance. Although the alliance looks very harmonious now, the calmer the sea surface, the more turbulent the undercurrents are underneath, and it is only a fuse away from a complete explosion.
The Fantasy Gene was undoubtedly the fuse, so countless people in the alliance knew that President Damaranch was a divine beast user, but only a few knew which divine beast it was.
So Professor Oak calmly accepted the current situation and focused his energy on his dreamy pool of moves.
Chapter 23: Xiaoxia's Arrival
After a tense and exciting recording time, Dr. Oak helplessly threw down the notebook in his hand. A large number of names of moves were densely written on it, which showed that Dr. Oak also put a lot of thought into it.
But facing Huanhuan's bottomless pool of moves, no, it should be a sea of moves. According to Gongsun Yan's memory, although Huanhuan's combat performance in the game was not very good, there were many options better than him.
However, just like a well-known MOBA game, the background combat power of the ADC is often not that good, while the background story of the support is either some god or some demon king, each one is more impressive than the other.
The same goes for Mew. Although He looks very cute and does not seem like a fighting type Pokémon, His strength should not be underestimated. Just look at the bumpy ground in Professor Oak's backyard, which is like the surface of the moon.
And don't forget one very important thing, the reason why Mew is considered the ancestor of Pokémon is because Mew has the genes of all Pokémon, and he can learn almost all the moves of Pokémon.
President Damaranch hasn't been out on field trips for a long time, so Professor Oak has never seen Mew take action. President Damaranch has never explained it to him in detail, so Professor Oak is confused about the fact that Mew knows almost all Pokémon moves.
Then Professor Oak's curiosity drove him to find out the truth, so he brought Mew with him to record the moves he knew. He would write down each move he saw, highlighting how diligent he was.
However, after a while, Professor Oak gave up resistance and chose to lie down. Judging from the notebook he dropped, Professor Oak had memorized no less than 500 moves, and he didn't need to remember the rest, as he already believed it.
After confirming the true quality of the dream, Dr. Oak satisfied his inner curiosity and focused his energy on the research of the dream gene. He already knew that the hairs were about to disappear, so he should race against time.
Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi are responsible for receiving parents who come to pick up their children. Since Professor Oak is not here, they must step up. They cannot let others think that Professor Oak's subordinates do not know etiquette.
Then Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi were overwhelmed by those parents. These parents who could send their children to participate in the summer camp organized by Professor Oak were not simple people. Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi, the two rising stars, were naturally well-known figures to them.
A lot of small things happened during this period, which I will not go into detail here. Anyway, Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi got a lot of business cards, and each of them came from a prominent background.
Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi had not thought about this, so neither of them had business cards, so they could only take each other's business cards with a smile and apologize to each other.
In the end, Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi's faces were almost frozen from smiling. They had finally sent all the students away. After closing the door of the research institute, Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi collapsed to the ground almost at the same time.
Although both of them were people with amazing physiques, they had a blind spot in terms of interpersonal communication, so after this set of events, Gongsun Yan even felt more tired than in the final of the Caiyou Conference.
While Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi were sitting there recovering their health, a girl with orange hair had already passed through Tokiwa City and was moving towards Pallet Town.
There was another girl who had the same route as her. She was wearing red clothes and a headscarf on her head. There was a spirited flame chicken beside her. She was looking at the map in her hand, as if confirming the location of Pallet Town.
As for the dark-skinned boy with squinty eyes, he also rushed to Viridian City and is now "talking about love" with Miss Joy in the Pokémon Center. He looks very happy.
Turning our attention away from the Kanto region and onto a ship heading from the Hoenn region to the Kanto region, Dr. Odamaki was chatting and laughing with the child in green clothes beside him. Dr. Odamaki's favorite jeep was also parked in the ship's warehouse.
It seemed that the companions who had traveled together at the beginning were about to meet again in a new place. This was undoubtedly a very happy thing. However, Gongsun Yan had other ideas. This time he planned to temporarily separate from Xiaozhi and others and embark on the journey with Liliae.
..........................................................................................
"Bang bang bang!"
"Come on, come on, stop knocking!"
The next morning, Gongsun Yan was awakened by the sound of someone banging on the door. When he barely broke free from the quilt and opened the door of the research institute, what came into his sight was Xiaozhi and an energetic girl with orange hair. Pikachu rarely stayed on Xiaozhi's shoulder, but was held in the arms of the energetic girl.
"What a rare guest. I didn't expect that you, Xiaozhi, would get up so early. It's really rare. By the way, who is the person next to you, my sister-in-law?" Gongsun Yan said in a daze.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could he (she) and I have this kind of relationship?" Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi shouted in unison.
"Judging from the way you two are communicating with each other, you are at least a couple that have been enemies for seven lifetimes." Gongsun Yan teased.
That's right, Gongsun Yan recognized Xiaoxia the moment he saw her. After all, he had been a fan of Zhixia for many years. Even though the three-dimensional Xiaoxia was different from the Xiaoxia in the anime, Gongsun Yan still recognized Xiaoxia's true identity at first sight.
To be honest, when Gongsun Yan saw Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia standing together, his tear glands got a little out of control. He hadn't seen this scene for a long time and missed it very much.
Coupled with the early morning sunlight shining from behind the two of them, the scene was so beautiful that Gongsun Yan once felt that it would be great if time could stop at this moment, but this was obviously impossible, so Gongsun Yan could only suppress his inner excitement and continued to tease the two of them.
"Haha, forget it. I won't tease you guys anymore. But I'm not saying this nonsense. You two look really harmonious standing together. You can consider what I said." Gongsun Yan said as he led the two of them in.
After hearing Gongsun Yan's teasing, Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia looked at each other and found that each other's faces were blushing. Their hearts began to waver, which made them both at a loss. They didn't know what to say for a while and fell into silence.
Chapter 24: Two People Openly Spreading Their Love
"Ding dong!"
Gongsun Yan had just brought Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia into the research institute, and before they had time to say a few words, the doorbell rang again.
There was no choice but for Gongsun Yan to apologize, then got up to open the door. Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia were actually more familiar with the Oak Research Institute than Gongsun Yan, so there was no need for Gongsun Yan to entertain them.
When Gongsun Yan opened the door, the people outside were none other than Dr. Odamaki and Xiaosheng. Although they had just arrived in Tokiwa City this morning, with the help of the off-road vehicle, they arrived at the Oak Research Institute earlier than Xiaoyao who was a little lost.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Yan? It's been a long time since we last met. Are you okay now?"
When Dr. Odamaki saw Gongsun Yan, he greeted him warmly. He didn't look like an elder at all, but more like an uncle next door.
Of course, the reason why Dr. Odamaki has such a good impression of Gongsun Yan is mainly because Gongsun Yan once asked Dr. Odamaki to study Groudon and Rayquaza in detail.
These two mythical beasts that appear in the Hoenn mythology must have great appeal to Dr. Odamaki, a native of Hoenn, so Gongsun Yan's favorability with him must have been maxed out.
"Haha, Dr. Odamaki, you too, I haven't seen you for such a long time, and you look a lot stronger. You're indeed a sports enthusiast." Gongsun Yan also immediately started a wave of commercial compliments.
"Xiaosheng, you are here as expected. I told you that as long as you communicate well with Teacher Qianli, he will not refuse your reasonable request. By the way, where is your sister? Why didn't she come with you?" Gongsun Yan looked around in confusion and asked after finding that there was no sign of Xiaoyao.
"Ah, this, I don't know how to say it." Xiaosheng said in Gongsun Yan's ear with an expression of reluctance to look back.
"Hahaha, as expected, this is Xiaoyao's style." After hearing the reason given by Xiaosheng, Gongsun Yan's expression management went out of control. He slapped his thigh desperately, and the goose cry in his mouth never stopped.
As for the specific reason, it is very simple. After Qianli rejected Xiaosheng's proposal to go to Kanto for the first time, Xiaoyao directly concluded that Xiaosheng could not continue the journey, so she set off alone.
And just one day after Xiaoyao set off, Qianli agreed to Xiaosheng's request and found Dr. Odamaki, who was going to the Kanto area, to take Xiaosheng with him.
So Xiaoyao went to the unfamiliar Kanto region alone, while Dr. Odamaki and Xiaosheng, under the arrangement of the alliance, took a special ship to the Kanto region, where they had food and drinks during the trip and had a great time.
