The Armored Dragon obviously understood Gongsun Yan's idea, so he stopped his dance, secretly stretched out a foot, and kicked at the sharp corner of Zhan Wulang.
"Too naive!" Wu De suddenly shouted, attracting Gongsun Yan's attention. But he didn't say anything, which made Gongsun Yan think of something. He quickly looked at the field and found that Zhan Wulang had disappeared, leaving only a big hole on the ground, and the kick of the Scaled Dragon was also empty.
"Digging a hole? No, digging a hole shouldn't be able to start so quickly. What exactly is it?" Gongsun Yan was suddenly confused and didn't even let the Armored Dragon dodge in the first place.
However, the Armored Dragon had a strong reaction ability and had fought against opponents that could dig holes before. It immediately retracted its outstretched legs and quickly left its previous position to avoid a direct attack from Zhan Wulang.
But War Dancer is obviously not a newbie Pokémon. He will never jump up from the ground after digging a hole and launch an attack. So no matter how Scaledon moves, he refuses to jump out of the ground.
"Don't worry, Scaled Dragon. Keep moving and continue to use Dragon Dance. If you have a chance, collapse the pit. Zhan Wulang won't be able to stay underground for long."
Although Gongsun Yan was distracted for a moment, he reacted quickly and made the most correct response without any confusion and was always clear and organized.
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, the Armored Dragon immediately regained its composure. Its originally flustered steps gradually became regular, and the Dragon Dance that had been forced to stop before was performed again.
The Armored Dragon even found an opportunity and used its tail to smash down the tunnel dug by the War Dancer, preventing him from returning the same way.
The attack from the Armored Dragon made Wu De, who had been somewhat complacent, frown, because Gongsun Yan was right, Zhan Wulang could not last long underground.
That’s right, Senburo is not a rock-type or ground-type Pokémon, not even a steel-type Pokémon, so although he can dig underground, he cannot breathe underground.
What's more, the Armored Dragon also collapsed the only source of oxygen, the tunnel, so Zhan Wulang couldn't delay time any longer. He had to act as soon as possible, otherwise the lack of oxygen would make him unable to launch an attack.
As for why War Dancer can dig holes so quickly, it’s actually very simple. There is actually another sentence describing War Dancer in the Pokémon Encyclopedia.
[When it spins its body at high speed, it will drill directly into the ground. ]
That's why Zhan Wulang can dig the hole so quickly. After all, his true self is a man's romance. It's normal for a drill to drill the ground faster.
"Zhanwulang, now is the time, spiral ball!"
Wu De carefully observed the dance steps of the armored dragon and silently counted down the time in his heart. When the dragon dance was about to be completed, he shouted loudly.
"Ke!"
Just as Wu De spoke, Zhan Wulang suddenly emerged from the ground, his legs still spinning like a top, kicking the Armored Dragon continuously, causing the Armored Dragon to retreat again and again.
In the end, he actually kicked the Armored Dragon away, and it slammed hard into the wall of the dojo, creating a big hole and cracking the surrounding walls.
Seeing that the Armored Dragon was kicked out by him, Zhan Wulang stopped spinning and stood there gasping for breath. He had stayed underground for too long and was a little short of oxygen.
The spiral ball he just kicked was already his limit. If the Armored Dragon had not been kicked away, he would have to stop first, otherwise he might have suffocated and fainted.
"You are quite strong. I haven't seen challengers as strong as you all year. But it's still a bit difficult to defeat three enemies at once. Release your next Pokémon."
Although Wude won, he did not show any smug smile. After all, he used three Pokémon to defeat Gongsun Yan just once. What was there to be happy about? So he just officially asked Gongsun Yan to release the next Pokémon.
Just as Wu De expected, Gongsun Yan lowered his head in disappointment and slightly raised his right hand holding the Poké Ball, as if he was preparing to take the Armored Dragon back.
At this moment, a student who was kneeling by the wall felt something was wrong. He subconsciously looked up at the armored dragon that should have been embedded in the wall, but he did not find the armored dragon. He only saw a slightly shabby green doll.
"Huh?...Master, be careful!" After discovering this, the student was horrified and quickly shouted to Wu De, loudly reminding him that there was a problem.
"Hey, it's too late, Scaled Dragon, use close combat!"
At this moment, Gongsun Yan, who had originally lowered his head, suddenly raised his head. His face was nothing like what Wu De thought. There was no trace of loss at all. His smile was as bright as a flower. No wonder he had to lower his head, otherwise he would not be able to suppress this smile at all.
A golden figure flashed out from the pit that was collapsed by the scaly-armored dragon, broke through the soil layer, and launched a series of moves at Zhan Wulang who was gasping for breath on the spot, knocking him into the air.
"boom!"
Finally, when Zhan Wulang fell from mid-air, he had lost his ability to fight and fell to the ground unconscious. During this time, Wu De didn't even have time to give a single command.
"clatter."
As the Armored Dragon fell from the sky, a slight sound was heard. Apart from that, no one in the entire dojo made a sound. They were all shocked by the scene just now.
"Zhanwulang is unable to fight, the winner is..."
The referee was about to announce the result of the fight, but he suddenly discovered that although the Armored Dragon was still standing on the ground, its eyes had turned into circles and it had lost its ability to fight.
Chapter 108 I hope everyone is okay
"Both War Dancer and Scaled Dragon have lost their ability to fight at the same time. Since the challenger still has Pokémon that can fight, the winner of this battle is Gongsun Yan from Weibai Town!"
As the referee read out the name loudly, the gym match officially came to an end. Scaled Dragon really completed a one-on-three match. The only regret was that Scaled Dragon had passed out and we didn't get to see his highlight moment. This kind of opportunity is quite rare.
But it was also normal. The Armored Dragon had been in the inverse scale state for a long time, and its physical strength was only one tenth of what it was. After using a substitute, it had been hiding in the pit for so long. It was already the limit for it to be able to use a close combat, and this close combat had not even been completed yet.
As mentioned before, the Armored Dragon doesn't know any fighting skills, but the close combat skill is an exception. The Armored Dragon is particularly good at this skill, and can reach a very high level of proficiency without even much practice.
Originally, this battle shouldn't have been so difficult, as the Armored Dragon could learn the Earthquake move. But for some reason, even though Gongsun Yan kept adding weight to the Armored Dragon, it couldn't learn it.
As for why the Armored Dragon hid in that hole, it was not to confuse the audience or because it was in the darkest place. It was simply because the Armored Dragon could not learn how to dig holes and could only use the existing hole.
However, judging from the results of the battle, it seems to be very good. As long as victory can be achieved and it does not violate any moral laws, then any method used is correct.
"Come back, Zhan Wulang!" Wu De put Zhan Wulang back into the Poké Ball and walked towards Gongsun Yan on the other side of the venue.
At this time, Gongsun Yan also took the Armored Dragon back. Looking at the Poké Ball in his hand, he suddenly realized that the Armored Dragon was having a miserable time in his hands.
Since the day he evolved into an Ankylosaurus, the scales on his body seemed to have never lasted until the next day. They were either broken during battles or broken by Rayquaza during daily training.
However, with Gongsun Yan's unremitting efforts, the scales of the Scaled Dragon were able to grow out completely the next day, and became even harder, and were then easily broken by Rayquaza...
Speaking of which, Nian Meir was actually struggling in Rayquaza's hands, and his snail shell was ruthlessly broken by Rayquaza several times.
However, Nian Meir's snail shell is different from the scales of the Ankylosaur. It cannot grow back the next day. Once damaged, Nian Meir needs to repair it herself.
It was also because of this that Rayquaza showed mercy and only made cracks on the snail shell instead of breaking it completely.
And because Gongsun Yan provided a large amount of rare metals for Nian Meir to devour, the hardness of the repaired snail shell continued to increase, which means that Nian Meir's defense became stronger and stronger.
“Hahaha, kid, you are worthy of being like this. You are so strong. You really lost face in front of me today!”
Just as Gongsun Yan was daydreaming, a slap as strong as a palm-leaf fan hit him on the back, startling him. Then he heard Wu De's rough voice.
"Wait, you just said little brother, right? Is this really a legal gym?" Gongsun Yan roared like a groundhog in his heart.
"You have really strong hands." Gongsun Yan smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand, wanting to rub his back where he was hit. However, he found that rubbing with his hands behind his back was not very satisfying.
At this moment, Liliae and Gongsun Yan seemed to be in sync. She took the initiative to rub Gongsun Yan's back and even gave Wu De a cold look, as if blaming him for hurting her loved one.
Faced with the angry rebuke from the little girl Liliae, Wu De could only raise his hands and make a French salute to show that he had no ill intentions, which made Liliae retract her gaze.
"Oh, it's so nice to have a girlfriend." Wu De murmured to himself.
However, with Wu De's volume, there is not much difference between mumbling to oneself and speaking loudly.
The students nearby might not be able to hear it clearly, but Gongsun Yan and Liliae, who were very close, naturally heard it clearly.
Gongsun Yan didn't react at all. After all, boys are thicker-skinned and can remain calm when faced with other people's teasing. But Liliae was not so good. She blushed with shame and the hand that was pressing on Gongsun Yan's back softened.
"Alright, alright, why are you envious of me? You have a girlfriend too, go find your girlfriend for comfort."
Gongsun Yan hugged Liliae and gave Wu De a smug smile, looking as adorable as he could be.
"Tsk! I'm not as generous as you youngsters. My girlfriend and I..."
"Hmm? Master, has Miss Lan agreed to your pursuit? That's great. It's been a few years..."
Before Wu De could finish his words, a student holding a gym badge came over. After hearing what Wu De said, he started congratulating him without noticing that Wu De's face had turned pale.
"Ahem, well, I'll leave the boxing badge to you. Next, I need to check if these brats have been lax while I'm out, so I won't send you off."
Wu De, with a gloomy face, slapped a boxing glove-shaped badge on Gongsun Yan's hand, and then led the student who had no desire to survive away. Looking at the bulging blue veins on his hands, what would happen next would probably be very exciting.
Although Gongsun Yan and Lilia wanted to watch the show there, they keenly noticed the raging anger behind Wu De and walked out with a guilty conscience.
The moment the two walked out of the door, a tragic scream was heard from the gym, and the sorrow in it made the two shiver.
"Yeah, I hope everyone is okay." Gongsun Yan bowed hypocritically at the entrance of the gym, then smiled and took Liliae shopping.
"Hey, Xiaoyan, why is the badge of the fighting gym called the boxing badge? The previous badges were all related to the characteristics of the town."
Liliae asked curiously while playing with the boxing badge that Gongsun Yan had just obtained.
"Oh, this is very simple, because the name of the Golden Badge has already been used by the Golden Gym. Although the Fighting Gym is now recognized by the League, Wu De has always lost to Nancy, so they can only choose a new name."
Gongsun Yan took the boxing badge handed over by Liliae, put it into his badge box, and explained it to Liliae. Then Gongsun Yan looked up and the Golden Gym appeared in front of him.
Chapter 109: The Magical Golden Gym
That’s right, less than twenty minutes after Gongsun Yan and Liliae walked out of the Fighting Gym, the Golden Gym appeared in front of them, which shows how close the two gyms are.
The distribution pattern of Golden Yellow City is actually quite strange. The huge headquarters building of Silver Company stands right in the center of Golden Yellow City. The Fighting Gym and the Golden Yellow Gym together occupy the northeast corner of Golden Yellow City. There are no famous facilities in other places.
The only exception may be the maglev train station connecting the Kanto region and the Johto region, which is the largest infrastructure in the Kanto region.
This maglev train station connects Jinhuang City and Manjin City in the Johto region. Manjin City is very similar to Jinhuang City, both of which are the largest and most luxurious cities in the region.
But for some reason, Akane, the gym trainer of Goldfinger Gym, likes to go to Golden City for shopping very much, and after returning to normal, Nancy likes to go to Goldenfinger City for shopping very much. It is really strange.
Speaking of Silver Company, Gongsun Yan suddenly remembered that Professor Oak called him yesterday and asked him to go to Silver Company to pick up some things.
After all, Professor Oak is the elder, so Gongsun Yan naturally agreed to his request, and prepared to find Xiaozhi after challenging the Golden Gym, and then the two of them would go to Silver Company together.
That's right, Professor Oak actually told Xiaozhi about this, and said that if possible, the two of them should go to Silver Company together, so that it would be easier to get back what he wanted.
Anyway, when Gongsun Yan heard the news, he was a little confused. They were just going to get something, so why did two people have to go together? The more he listened, the more weird it seemed.
Then Gongsun Yan silently changed the Pokémon in his hand. He felt that his next trip to Silver Company would not be safe, and he had to bring some Pokémon that were powerful and would not cause too many battles.
After all, Gongsun Yan came here to take things. If he directly took out Rayquaza and Groudon, it would be equivalent to blatant robbery. No matter what, Gongsun Yan would not make the scene so ugly.
That's why Gongsun Yan was so sure that he could get the gold badge. After all, as far as he knew, Nancy was not in the gym, and the one currently guarding the gym was Nancy's father.
Nancy's dad's strength is okay, but just okay. If an average elite-level trainer comes to challenge him, he can completely use the weirdness of the psychic system to play tricks on the opponent until he wins.
Therefore, for those trainers who are not strong enough, the Golden Gym is a well-deserved hell difficulty. However, as long as they have a Pokémon with quasi-king strength, it will directly become a normal difficulty.
For a challenger like Gongsun Yan who holds a king-level Pokémon, it is no longer a normal mode, but an easy mode. Basically, as long as you don't do anything stupid, you will definitely win.
Of course, this situation only exists when Nancy's father serves as the gym trainer. If Nancy serves as the gym trainer, then it will be hell for any challenger.
Nancy is a rare person with super powers, and one of the strongest among them. Her status is roughly the same as that of Satoshi, an absolute genius.
Nancy is a rare psychic who can directly bestow her superpowers on Pokémon, so she can choose how much superpower to bestow based on the strength of the challenger, and can definitely put enough pressure on the challenger.
Moreover, this is Nancy whose Ren and Du meridians were opened by Haunter. If it was the Nancy who had closed her heart at the beginning, it would not be hell mode, but directly abyss mode.
You see, in a gym match, not only can you challenge gym trainers, but you can also keep exercising in the town.
Nancy was even afraid that your training was not comprehensive enough, so she made a ball and chased you, urging you on. Where can you find such a good gym trainer?
At that time, Nancy was still a childlike person. She would invite you to play with dolls, but she needed you to play the role of the doll.
It's probably like the owner telling his pet chicken, "If you don't behave, I'll have dinner with you, but you'll stay at the main course."
Well, having said so much, actually when Gongsun Yan was a child, he was almost scared when he saw those episodes about the Golden Gym, especially the doll in Nancy's hand.
Originally, Gongsun Yan was very afraid of things like dolls, because dolls' eyes would not move, and the empty look in their eyes made Gongsun Yan feel cold all over just thinking about it.
"Hello, I'm here to challenge the gym. May I ask..."
Gongsun Yan stood at the door of the Golden Gym, looked around, then pushed the door open and shouted loudly. However, before he could finish his words, he was frightened by the strange scene in front of him.
"Xiao Yan, what is this?" Liliae was also frightened by the scene in front of her. She couldn't help but hold Gongsun Yan's right hand tightly, and her lips turned pale.
"Um... this is a way to cultivate super powers. Yes, that's right, that's it." Gongsun Yan didn't believe what he said at first, but he became more confident as he spoke.
"So, is this how you practice superpowers? Isn't it a bit difficult?" Liliae felt that her worldview had changed greatly during the past few days of traveling.
In fact, the two did not see anything strange. There were just a bunch of people holding spoons, closing their eyes, sitting in a horse stance, using their minds to sense the spoons in their hands, trying to bend them.
Well, this is a description that Gongsun Yan has beautified a bit. The real situation is that a group of wretched old men wearing masks were holding a spoon tightly there, and looking at the way they looked, 90% of people would think that they were constipated.
"Hahaha, I did it. I bent the spoon with my mind!"
Suddenly, a seemingly ordinary-looking man suddenly roared, and the spoon in his hand obviously bent down, which meant that he had passed the entry-level assessment, and people around him cast envious glances at him.
"You didn't make the spoon bend by your mind. It's obvious that your hands were too strong and you bent it forcefully!!!" Gongsun Yan didn't seem to react on the surface, but he was actually complaining crazily in his heart.
"Okay, you've passed the primary test and can move on to the next level. Remember to wait and pay the tuition fee."
Suddenly, a normal-looking person appeared next to the man, followed by a Cathy. He handed the man a note and motioned for him to pay.
Chapter 110 Goodbye Haogou
"Hey, are you new here? Come on, come on, let me tell you, our Golden Gym's superpower training course is famous all over the world. Go to the side and pay the fee, and then you can start the beginner's course."
The man originally planned to leave, but after seeing Gongsun Yan and Liliae, his eyes instantly lit up and he quickly came up to the two of them to sell his product.
