"How can you say that? Our gym only does this to train the challengers' psychological endurance. This just shows that we have good intentions." Lijia said shamelessly.
"..." What else could Gongsun Yan say? What Lijia said was actually correct. The explanation was quite reasonable. It made Gongsun Yan feel that his full-strength punch had gone in vain. The feeling of using the wrong strength made the blood in his body churn.
Gongsun Yan looked at the stinky flower in front of him, and his teeth were itching with hatred. Finally, he said viciously, since you are the one who does it on the first day, don't blame me for being the fifteenth.
"Stinky mud, I'll leave it to you."
ps: Alas, the author has no one to celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day, it is really too difficult, fortunately the plot is well controlled, it's almost time to give out some sweets.
Chapter 89: Sweets in the next chapter
"What the hell is this stinky mud?"
Lijia looked at the stinky mud in front of her, whose body was covered with flame patterns and which would occasionally release flames from a random place on its body, and felt that her outlook on life had been greatly impacted.
"Flower~"
Obviously, Vileflower has never seen such a Mud. When Rika was attacked by Mud as a child, it was Vileflower who saved her, so Vileflower is quite familiar with the Pokémon of the Mud family, but has never seen such a Mud.
And Stinky Flower couldn't help but take a step back, because the flames on Stinky Mud were too hot, and the temperature was a little unbearable for her.
"You don't understand this, right? This is the stinky mud from the biogas digester in the Celestial Empire. It naturally has the property of fire."
Seeing Lijia's inexperienced look, Gongsun Yan felt very refreshed. She had just been tricked by Lijia, but now she felt that she had turned the tables and was still talking nonsense without restraint.
"Haha, if I believe you, then there's something fishy going on. Besides, I've never heard of this place in Celestial Empire. Is there a place with this name in Kanto and Hoenn?"
Lijia rolled her eyes at Gongsun Yan. As soon as she heard the tone of Gongsun Yan's voice, she knew that Gongsun Yan had no good intentions and even made up a lie to deceive her.
"Tsk tsk, there is a lot to say about this place called Celestial Empire, but you don't have to know too much about it, just know that it is a magical place."
Hearing what Lijia said, Gongsun Yan's expression suddenly became a little sad. The place of Tianchao is a well-known existence in the heavens and myriad worlds, but now no one knows about it. It's really sad.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that anymore, let's fight quickly, let me see how you deal with the stinky mud."
After a brief sadness, Gongsun Yan returned to his heartless state again. He wanted to know what Lijia would think when she saw this stinky mud and what countermeasures she would come up with.
"......Damn it (whispering)" Lijia's face became even more distorted, but she was a lady and had her own burdens, so she just cursed Gongsun Yan in a low voice.
To be honest, although Lijia was dismissive of what Gongsun Yan said just now, thinking that Gongsun Yan was just teasing her, there was still a part that she agreed with, that is, the sentence about naturally having the attribute of fire.
Lijia is not blind after all. The sparks on Chouchou Ni's body never stopped, and circles of charred black appeared on the surrounding land. Even a fool knows that he has the attribute of fire.
It is precisely because of this that Gongsun Yan stated the attributes of Chouchou Mud so directly, because there is no possibility of hiding it at all, and by saying it directly he can earn a reputation as being honest.
Gongsun Yan and Chouchou Ni had thought about solving this problem. It was not to help Chouchou Ni better control the energy in his body, but simply to trick him.
Imagine that the opponent saw that the Pokémon released by Gongsun Yan was Mud, and then confidently released a steel-type Pokémon to deal with it, but was sent away by a powerful Flamethrower. What a pleasant thing that would be.
Unfortunately, the level of the sacred fire flowing in Chouchou Mud is too high. It is obviously not something that Chouchou Mud, who is not even at the King level, can master, so it can only be put aside temporarily.
Gongsun Yan had also learned from Suicune before. After all, he was one of the three sacred beasts created by the Phoenix King, and had a relatively deep understanding of the sacred fire.
However, the result was not satisfactory. Although Suicune came to help out of respect for Gongsun Yan, he was a water-type Pokémon after all, and his compatibility with fire-type Pokémon was not high, so he was unable to help.
But there is always a way out, and Suicune also gave Gongsun Yan other options, which was to seek help from Yan Di or Feng Wang.
Let’s not talk about Entei for now, and talk about Ho-Oh first. Ho-Oh is the creator of the sacred fire and can definitely give Mud some clues.
However, Ho-Oh Shenron... uh, the divine bird is hard to find, so Gongsun Yan has a high probability of not being able to find it, not even Xiaozhi, the reserve Rainbow Hero.
Although Xiaozhi has completed the first test of Ho-Oh, he awakened his wave power before reaching Uldrum City, and even captured a Mew, which can be said to have exceeded the mission.
But no one knows what kind of deal Ho-Oh and Mew have reached, or what problems occurred with the World's Beginning Tree. Ho-Oh still asks Ash to go to Uldron City, saying that that is where Ash's final test will be held.
Although Ho-Oh cannot be relied upon, Suicune did give Gongsun Yan another option, which is to look for Entei, who is also one of the three sacred beasts. He does not have to look for the same original three sacred beasts as him, even Entei who was created later by Ho-Oh will do.
In fact, Entei's priority is higher than Ho-oh. Although Ho-oh is the creator of Holy Fire and Entei is just a Pokémon that uses Holy Fire, this is precisely Entei's advantage.
As the creator of the sacred fire, for Ho-Oh, using the sacred fire has become an instinctive behavior. He is not as suitable for teaching as Entei, who needs constant practice to control it.
It’s like Jordan, although he is called the God of Basketball, his teaching ability may not be comparable to that of a blue-collar player who is good at teaching. Being good at playing basketball does not mean being a good teacher.
It's like breaking through the defender and shooting. Jordan might say, "You pull it up first, then make a fake move, and finally a fadeaway jump shot, and you will definitely score."
To be honest, only Jordan said this, otherwise he would definitely be looked down upon. Everyone knows these moves, but you can't score a goal just by talking.
Perhaps with Jordan's talent and ability, he could score this goal easily, but it is difficult for ordinary players to have such ability, so they need a careful teacher to teach them.
Given Chouchou Ni's current situation, asking Emperor Yan for help is obviously the best solution. However, there is still a problem facing Gongsun Yan, that is, he can't find Emperor Yan even if he wants to... This is very embarrassing.
"Skank, use Leaf Blade!" Rika had no choice but to try using the sharp Leaf Blade, which was more effective against soft-bodied Pokémon.
"Stinky mud, eat it." Gongsun Yan said calmly.
I saw that Chouchou Ni opened his mouth as big as half of his body and swallowed all the Flying Leaf Knives. There was no bulge on Chouchou Ni's body, which showed that the Flying Leaf Knives did not play any role at all.
After eating the Flying Leaf Blade, the Muddy Slime even burped and didn't take the attack of the Smelly Flower seriously at all.
ps: I accompanied my brother back to my hometown today and did some kind of ceremony. It seems that it is a process that all the children in my hometown have to go through. It was done a little late, so the update can only be updated later. The chapters about giving out sweets may not be updated until after midnight. I am really sorry.
Chapter 90: Sorry, the sweet moments will be in the next chapter.
(I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I found that I haven't written enough sweet stories in this chapter, I promise, I will definitely write sweet stories in the next chapter, otherwise I will update 5,000 words every day in the future!)
As mentioned before, Chou Chou Ni's body was full of sacred fire that he could hardly control, so when Chou Chou Ni swallowed the Flying Leaf Blade, it was like throwing a meat bun at a dog and there was no way back.
"Stinky Flower, use Energy Ball!"
"How is it possible that it has no effect? Use a dissolving solution!"
"The dissolving liquid has been evaporated?! Impossible, use Petal Dance!"
"It still doesn't work?! What the hell is this! Are you cheating?"
Lijia's tone changed from full of confidence at the beginning to gradually become irritable, and finally there was only despair. She couldn't think of any way to deal with it.
Afterwards, Lika tried various different ways of attack, almost using all the moves that Venusflower had used on Nian Meir just now, but they all had no effect.
Even the stinky smell that had a miraculous effect on Nian Meir just now is useless against Chouchou Ni. Even though Chouchou Ni has lost its poisonous properties, it doesn't mean that Chouchou Ni is afraid of stinky smells.
Muddy Pokémon originally lived in sewers, and quite a large number of them even lived in the sewers. The smell there was not much better than the pollen of the Smelly Flower.
Besides, don't forget one thing, that is, how did Chou Chou Mud's father or mother appear? He was protected by the flames of the Phoenix King, and his existence was to wash away the filth. The smelly pollen could not even get close to him and would be burned to ashes half a meter away.
"That's about enough fun, Mud, use Jet Fire to end this fight."
Gongsun Yan watched Lijia and Chouchouhua's dying struggles for a long time as if he was watching a monkey show. Finally, he got tired of it and chose to let Chouchouni end the fight.
"Flowerflower, use Sunflame!" Seeing a large amount of flame accumulating in Vile's mouth, Rika shouted hurriedly, commanding Flowerflower to use its strongest moves to respond.
Normally speaking, a big move like Sun Flame would require a long time to prepare, and today's sun was not big enough to be used instantly.
And because Rika knew that Mule was a fire-type Pokémon, she deliberately did not use Sunny Day to speed up the charging process. After all, Sunny Day has a greater bonus on fire-type moves, so why bother herself?
I don't know if it was out of sympathy or out of simple kindness, but the jet of flame of Chou Chou Mud was already prepared, but it was stuck in his mouth and he just waited for the sunshine flame of Chou Chou Hua to be ready.
"Damn it, you are looking down on us!" Lijia looked at Gongsun Yan with bared teeth, as if she was going to rush up and bite him twice if they disagreed.
"Ahem, we solemnly declare that all these actions are the personal actions of Chou Chou Ni and have nothing to do with us. If there is a grievance, there is a perpetrator. Just go to him!"
Who is Gongsun Yan? Is he the kind of person who would abandon his Pokémon and distance himself from himself? Of course, Lijia would not bite the stinky mud, which would be much more irritating than biting a lighter, so the only one who would get hurt would be Gongsun Yan.
“Sizzle, sizzle, boom!”
Because of the provocation of Chou Chou Mud, Chou Chou Hua became extremely angry and actually accumulated twice as much sunlight as usual, and then shot out a very thick flame of sunlight.
"Mud~"
Stinky Mud opened his mouth and spit out a jet of flame thicker than the sun's flames. Although the flames on the periphery of the jet were normal orange-red, the flames in the center were almost white, and the temperature had soared to another level.
"Sizzle! Boom!"
To the surprise of Lijia and the referee, after the Sunshine Flame and the Jet Flame collided with each other, they were actually pushed back forcefully. They could be described as vulnerable.
"flower!!!"
After being hit by the jet of flames, Vile Flower screamed and rolled on the ground, trying to put out the flames on its body. However, how could a flame mixed with a trace of sacred fire be put out so easily? It was just a useless effort.
This is the case when Mud consciously reduced the power, otherwise Blossom would not be screaming there now, but would have fallen into a coma and needed Miss Joy's rescue.
You can even sprinkle some cumin and pepper on it and eat it directly as a dish. However, if it is cooked too high, the taste will definitely not be good. After all, the flavor of the pollen explodes all at once under high temperature.
"Okay, Muddy Stinky, go help Stink Flower absorb the flames."
Gongsun Yan is not a devil, but Stinky Flower is the apple of Lijia's eye. If she is really burned, she may not be able to leave Yuhong Gym today. When a woman loses her temper, she is scarier than a ghost, and the same goes for girls.
"Mud~"
The stinky mud slowly crawled to the side of the stinky flower, pia on her body openly, shook it a little, and then slowly moved away. The exposed stinky flower no longer had any flames on its body, and even its wounds had healed a little.
The Holy Fire is a flame that can heal injuries, and in the hands of Ho-Oh, it can even revive Pokémon. However, Entei, who can also use the Holy Fire, does not have this ability. It seems that he only inherited the destructive power of the Holy Fire.
And the accidental product, Stinky Mud, seemed to have completely inherited the characteristics of the Holy Fire, but it had been chopped so many times that the effect was extremely weak and it couldn't even heal minor injuries.
However, after Chouchou Ni left, Chouchou Hua, who was lying on the ground, did not get up immediately, but stared at the sky with dull eyes, as if she had lost her soul. This made Gongsun Yan suspect that Chouchou Ni had done something inhumane to her.
But Muddy Pokémon is from the Amorphous Egg Group, and for some reason, Gongsun Yan's Muddy Pokémon has no desire to reproduce at all, as if the Holy Fire has purified all of its male instincts. It's really weird.
"Stinky Flower, come back!"
Lijia didn't care about all this. She took the stinky flower back and glared at Gongsun Yan fiercely, but she looked inexplicably cute.
"Well! Gongsun Yan, stick to your original intention and don't forget that you have a girlfriend. Lilia is the cutest, Lilia is the cutest, Lilia is the cutest!"
Gongsun Yan silently recited the six-character mantra several times, and took out the scene he remembered on the Alola beach to appreciate it again. He resisted the temptation again, but his nose was a little itchy. If it was stimulated a little more, he would have a nosebleed.
"By the way, Lijia, why don't you let Vileflower evolve? If it evolves, it won't be so easy for Vileflower or Belle to win. You should have noticed this too."
In order to divert Nose's attention, Gongsun Yan quickly changed the subject.
Chapter 91: The Bond Between Pokémon and Trainers
"Ah, you're talking about this, actually it's Stinky Flower..."
Speaking of this topic, a hint of tenderness flashed in Rika's eyes. She looked at the Poké Ball of Vileplume in her hand with a doting face, and thousands of images flashed through her mind.
As Lijia told the story, the whole story slowly unfolded in front of Gongsun Yan. When should we start? Let's start from when Xiaozhi challenged the Yuhong Gym and Team Rocket set fire to the gym.
At that time, Vileflower had reached its current peak strength. Liga specially bought two top-quality Leaf Stones and Sun Stones from Silver Company and placed them in front of Vileflower, allowing it to choose whether to evolve into King Flower or Belle.
The time for evolution finally came. Both Vileflower and Rika were very excited. Vileflower hesitated for a long time, not knowing which type to evolve into.
Just then, Vileflower thought of something and asked Rika excitedly what to do with the raw materials of the perfume if she evolved.
Lijia has been with Vileflower for such a long time, so she naturally understands what Vileflower wants to express. She comforts her by saying that the other Vileflowers in the gym are already capable of standing on their own.
Who would have known that after hearing this, Smelly Flower directly refused to evolve, saying that the other Smelly Flowers were not qualified and would ruin the reputation she had established for the Yuhong Gym.
Lijia was both happy and sad about the choice of Vileplume. She was happy because Vileplume was right. The other Vileplumes were indeed inferior to her. If Vileplume evolved, then, apart from anything else, those top-notch perfumes would have to be taken off the shelves.
What worries her is that Vileplume has paid too much. Lika knows how much Vileplume is looking forward to evolving, but she gave up on evolving because of herself. Lika doesn't know what to say.
As for the results afterwards, I believe everyone knows that the Scolopendra did not evolve during this year, which shows how difficult it is to cultivate a Scolopendra suitable for producing perfume raw materials.
"But there's no need to worry now. A few days ago, Vileflower successfully brought out a descendant that can take her place. In a few days, Vileflower will be able to evolve."
When talking about the fact that Scolopendra can evolve, Rika exudes joy from the inside out, which shows how strong the bond between her and Scolopendra is.
"Really? Congratulations then." Gongsun Yan also offered his blessings.
"Thank you. This is the rainbow badge, which means you have completed the challenge of the Yuhong Gym. You should have obtained five gym badges by now. You are getting closer and closer to challenging the Quartz Conference." Lijia took out a badge from her sleeve and handed it to Gongsun Yan.
"Yes, now I'm only three badges short. I heard that the fighting gym in Jinhuang City has recently obtained gym qualification and can issue badges. This way I can get two badges at once in Jinhuang City." Gongsun Yan took out his badge box and put the rainbow badge in it.
Originally, Gongsun Yan was planning to take the same itinerary as Xiaozhi, but because Kikuko caught Professor Oak and refused to let go, she even gave up her position as the King of Kings and handed it over to the gym trainer of the Crimson Gym, Aju.
Aji is a trainer who is relatively close to Kikuko. Although Kikuko is known as the ghost-type king, most of the Pokémon she has are poison-type. Even the ace Pokémon Gengar and Arbok have poison-type. So some people jokingly call Kikuko the poison-type king.
Then the newly appointed Aju directly became the poison king. This can be regarded as an official joke, but only Gongsun Yan would be so bored as to pay attention to these things.
In the original history, after Aju gave up his role as the gym trainer of the Crimson Gym, he passed the gym to his daughter Axing.
However, under the influence of Gongsun Yan, A-Jie became one of the Four Heavenly Kings two years earlier, while A-Xing has not grown up yet and has just got her own initial Pokémon, so naturally she cannot be a gym trainer.
Aju's sister Aya would have been a good choice, but Aya was still training in the Ninja Academy and undergoing field training outside. It was too easy for a ninja to hide his whereabouts, so even if Aju was also a ninja, he couldn't find her.
Therefore, the Qianhong Gym had to be closed temporarily, and could only reopen when Aju found Aya. So Gongsun Yan could only reluctantly delete the Qianhong Gym from his travel list.
After getting the two badges from Golden City, Gongsun Yan was only one badge away from participating in the Quartz Conference, which also meant that Gongsun Yan and Liliae's sweet journey was about to set sail.
The first stop, of course, is Crimson Island. Not only because it is home to the last gym that Gongsun Yan is going to challenge, but also because it is a hot spring resort. As early as in the Alola region, Gongsun Yan had booked a luxury suite so that he and Liliae could soak in a hot spring together.
