Chapter 210: Page 210

Anyway, in the end, it was just a 100,000-volt shot and the Parasaurolophus was knocked down. The referee had just announced the start of the game and it was over. It was so fast.

After Xiaozhi got off to a good start, players from other groups came on stage one after another. Gongsun Yan took a quick look and found that there was no opponent worthy of Xiaozhi's attention, so he started chatting with Liliae.

To be honest, Gongsun Yan's vision is really high now. At the very least, it takes a quasi-king-level battle to attract his attention, and a king-level battle is naturally better.

As for these elite-level battles, it would be okay for him to just take a casual look at them, but if he watched them seriously, he would probably fall asleep.

The tactics of these people were too crude. Gongsun Yan could guess most of their plans with just a glance. Playing games with a modifier would make him lose interest sooner or later.

Compared to watching Pokémon battles, Gongsun Yan felt that the players' costumes attracted his attention more. Not to mention the armor, most people were wearing ancient armor, but they had made their own changes to the style.

One of the contestants was even more creative. He wore a prison uniform on the field, which immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter. Gongsun Yan almost couldn't stand up from laughing. In ancient times, Zhao Zilong was brave, and today's trainer is lively.

But unfortunately, the master of the trick was not very strong and he was eliminated in the second round of knockouts. Otherwise, Gongsun Yan would really like to watch him fight a few more games.

As time passed, fewer and fewer trainers were left in the Colosseum. In order to shorten the match time, the winner was decided in one round, and there was no such thing as a resurrection match.

After all, it is impossible for the queen to sit outside all day long. Although the queen of Orudran City is now similar to the Queen of England, both are just mascots, but they also have a certain majesty.

Xiaozhi also overcame all obstacles along the way. Relying on the three Pikachus on his body, he defeated one opponent after another and reached the final stage.

Chapter 156: We Don’t Need Idols, We Need Role Models

As for Xiaozhi's opponent in the finals, let's temporarily call her cannon fodder B. After all, her performance in the finals is no different from that of cannon fodder.

The Pokémon used by this cannon fodder student B is Magma, a very dangerous Dark-type and Ice-type Pokémon that generally lives in cold places, hunts together in small groups, and has a strong team spirit.

Because Magma is extremely aggressive, there are often reports of trainers mistakenly entering Magma's hunting grounds and getting injured.

In addition, Magma have a habit of stealing. A trainer once found dozens of backpacks filled with various supplies in their nest.

That’s right, Magellan actually doesn’t use the stolen items. The reason why he steals the trainer’s backpack is purely for fun.

Mamaula evolved from Xianla, and needs to carry an item called Sharp Claws at night. This item is not common, which shows that this cannon fodder player B is also quite capable.

But facing Xiaozhi, let alone two brushes, even carrying a vacuum cleaner may not be of any use. At the beginning of the battle, Magellan used his speed advantage to keep approaching Pikachu.

Then he was knocked down by Pikachu's 100,000-volt attack, almost breaking the record for the fastest KO since the start of the competition.

By the way, the previous record was also set by Ash and Pikachu. Anyway, from the beginning to now, not a single opponent of Ash has been killed instantly, and it took less than three minutes in total.

What we are talking about here is just the battle time. After all, there are some cutscenes at the beginning and end of each battle, which obviously takes more time.

Maybe this is what is called three minutes of warm-up and five seconds of fighting, but judging from the performance of the audience, they love Xiaozhi very much. Whenever Xiaozhi appears on the stage, they cheer loudly.

Gongsun Yan even saw quite a few ladies in gorgeous clothes. As they watched Xiaozhi and Pikachu sweeping away everything, a very suspicious blush appeared on their faces and their legs kept twisting.

"Damn it, ladies and gentlemen, be reserved. Xiaozhi is only eleven years old now. Give up those bold ideas in your hearts. There is an abyss ahead. Don't cross the line!"

Gongsun Yan didn't know what expression to use when facing those ladies who obviously had the wrong idea. Although he also thought Xiaozhi looked very handsome now, Xiaozhi was only a child after all, and people couldn't, or at least shouldn't, do that!

But these are just minor episodes. Xiaozhi won the title of this year's Bird's Brave, which is the most worth celebrating thing.

Although the title of Bird Hero has never left Xiaozhi, at least this time Xiaozhi's title has been recognized by the public.

As Xiaozhi won the game easily, the three Pikachus on the field immediately started playing and fighting, as a celebration of victory, although the two Mews had no idea the meaning of this game.

As a standard procedure of the game, the winner and loser need to shake hands and communicate in the center of the venue. The intention is to allow the two players to shake hands and make peace, but in reality no one cares what you say.

Even if you want to taunt your opponent after winning, or get the last hit, no one will care. There are even many viewers who hope to see the two sides still on edge after the battle.

But neither Xiaozhi nor his opponent were such people. They shook hands and made peace honestly. And because it was the final, Xiaozhi's opponent took off the helmet she had been wearing, revealing her better face under the helmet.

"The Bull Warrior will never take off his mask!!! Ahem, I'm being ridiculous, don't mind me."

Seeing the situation on the field, Gongsun Yan subconsciously said the lines that were deeply engraved in his memory. However, Bull Warrior was a rough old man, while Xiaozhi's opponent was a young girl.

"Hiss~, is this magic? How can such a small helmet hide such long hair?"

Gongsun Yan almost popped his eyes out. Although he remembered that Xiaozhi's opponent was a beautiful older sister and had some expectations in his mind, he couldn't figure out how such knee-length hair could be stuffed into that small helmet.

"Hmm? Wait, little sis?...Xiao Gang, Lee Jae-gan the God and Devil!"

Speaking of young ladies, Gongsun Yan suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly turned his gaze to his side, only to find that Xiaogang, who had been standing next to him, had disappeared.

So where did Xiaogang go? Of course he went to the competition venue. Heaven and earth can testify to his love for his elder sister.

As for Xiaozhi's opponent in the final, since she is a beautiful older sister, she cannot be described as cannon fodder. Her name is Qiduo.

Just when Qiduo and Xiaozhi introduced themselves, Xiaogang appeared beside her in an instant and took the young lady's hand very naturally.

"My name is Xiaogang, and I am committed to giving every beautiful lady a warm home..."

Of course, Xiaogang’s original words were definitely not like this. These were words processed by Gongsun Yan, but the general meaning is similar, just more explicit.

That’s the power of language. If you say to a woman, “I want to sleep with you.”

Then you are undoubtedly a scoundrel and you have ulterior motives.

But if you say, "I want to get up with you," then you are Xu Zhimo, a great romantic.

However, although Xu Zhimo got married twice, it seemed that he was still unable to get the love he wanted, and he even died on the plane on the way to meet Lin Huiyin.

If you think about it this way, it seems that being like Xu Zhimo is not a good thing. You may very likely become a mere bootlicker.

Fortunately, Gongsun Yan is not like Xu Zhimo in terms of feelings. In his life, he only wants to do four things with the person he loves.

Three meals a day...

Don’t think about it. I won’t elaborate on it. You are all old gentlemen (perverts), so I believe you can all understand what I mean.

Many people once regarded Xu Zhimo as their idol and believed that he was the representative of infatuation, but Gongsun Yan did not think so.

Gongsun Yan didn't have any idols. He always believed that people didn't need idols.

Pay attention, what Gongsun Yan said is that people don’t need idols. Idols are indeed dispensable, but people need role models, and the power of role models is infinite.

As for what an idol is, I believe everyone knows the word "Yu". The "Yu" above "Yu" is the same as "ou" in ancient times, which means idol.

This seems to be telling us that anyone who regards himself as the idol of others, or regards others as his own idol in his heart, may be a manifestation of stupidity.

Chapter 157: The Brave Man's Staff

Therefore, Gongsun Yan has always advocated that people do not need idols, but role models.

Because the word "role model" has the character "木" (wood) on the side, and wood is easy to decay, this proves that all role models are flawed.

And since the word "model" has the wood radical, it can be imitated and copied.

People always project too many things onto one person, and that person will often be regarded as an idol.

But the problem is that idols made by humans cannot withstand people's infinitely perfect projections, and their collapse is almost absolute.

Even if they are role models, they can only be role models in one aspect, because no one can be perfect.

Filial piety is the first of all virtues. We judge by the heart, not the deeds. If we judge by the deeds, there will be no filial sons in a poor family. Lust is the root of all evils. We judge by the deeds, not the heart. If we judge by the heart, there is no perfect person in the world.

Therefore, Gongsun Yan has his own role models in many aspects. Although they all have their own shortcomings to a greater or lesser extent, there are things that Gongsun Yan needs to learn from them.

For example, we learned virtues from Shun and Yu, forbearance from Gou Jian, the King of Yue, and "universal love" from Ze Yuezhi...

It seems like someone has appeared who shouldn't have appeared. Let us forget for the moment that inappropriate name that appeared.

Although from this point of view, it is no wonder that Gongsun Yan and Xiaogang have such a good relationship, they are like-minded.

Just when Xiaogang was frantically taking advantage of her and making a fool of himself, Xiaosheng, the second Xiaogang confession interrupter after Xiaoxia, stood up, grabbed Xiaogang's ear and left.

Xiaosheng had predicted Xiaogang's next move as soon as Qiduo took off her helmet, and walked down the stairs in advance.

But because Xiaogang's physical fitness is much higher than his, and the young lady is in front of him, Xiaogang also burst out with speed, and Xiaosheng is much faster.

So even though Xiaosheng had the advantage of being the first to strike, he could only pull Xiaogang away after it was too late to embarrass himself.

Speaking of which, the level of Xiaogang's confession interrupter seems to be constantly decreasing. Look, at the beginning it was Xiaoxia, the young and beautiful girl (mist).

Then he became Xiaosheng, the stinky brother who betrayed his sister. Putting aside other things, his appearance dropped drastically.

However, compared to the last Xiaogang confession interrupter, Frog, Xiaosheng is considered good. After all, he is still a human being.

And the methods of interruption became more and more brutal. Xiaoxia and Xiaosheng at least just pulled his ears, but Bad Frog directly poked his kidneys with a poison attack, and then dragged Xiaogang away after he fell to the ground due to the poison.

Although the Bad Frog's move looks brutal and is indeed brutal, it is not without benefits.

Just like how Ash was electrocuted by Pikachu for so long that he developed resistance to paralysis; and how he was burned by Charizard for so long that he developed resistance to burns.

Because Xiaogang had been poked on the kidneys by the Bad Frog for so long, he naturally developed resistance to poison, and the damage caused by the Bad Frog's poison attacks to him was reduced a lot.

Then the Bad Frog increased the power of the poison attack, ensuring that Xiaogang would be knocked to the ground with one blow, which was cause for celebration.

After Xiaogang was dragged away by Xiaosheng, Xiaozhi and Qiduo looked at each other, smiled awkwardly at each other, and then Qiduo said goodbye and ran away. There was no other way, it would be too embarrassing to stay any longer.

What happened next was that everyone went out to play and eat everywhere. Although Xiaozhi won, the scepter representing the brave man of Wave would not be given to him until the dinner in the evening.

And the word "hand over" should be put in double quotes. This scepter is the only relic left by Aaron (Aaron's gloves fell into the world tree and no one knew about it). How could it be handed over to others casually?

In fact, this scepter is the same as the title of Bird's Brave, both are limited-time experience cards, but the difference is that the title of Bird's Brave is valid for a whole year, while the ownership of the scepter is only for tonight.

But this is actually enough. After all, no one can activate this scepter again now, not even Yaxuan, the descendant of Yalang.

Therefore, this scepter actually has a symbolic meaning. Every year, the person who wins the title of Bird's Brave Man only needs to put on matching clothes and take a photo holding the scepter. One night is more than enough for this.

Of course, after tonight, the ownership of this scepter will be transferred to Xiaozhi forever, along with the Lucario inside it. After all, it was the scepter that made it magical.

Gongsun Yan and others also came to the city of Orudlang for the first time. Naturally, they wanted to appreciate the scenery of this city and taste the local food. They tried to eat until they were 80% full before the dinner started.

As for why Gongsun Yan and others still wanted to fill their stomachs even though there was a dinner party in the evening?

In fact, it is very simple. For this kind of social dinner, few people really go to eat dinner. They all go for socializing or expanding their social circle. The dishes at the dinner are usually just a taste.

In this case, Gongsun Yan and others naturally cannot eat to their heart's content as soon as they come on stage as if they haven't eaten for hundreds of years. That would be too embarrassing.

It’s not that Gongsun Yan and the others think that it’s not good to express their true feelings like this, but mainly because of everyone’s current identities, it’s better to restrain their personalities when necessary, so as not to lose the face of the alliance.

You see, Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi are both civil servants of the alliance, so naturally they have to maintain the image of the alliance. Otherwise, people will think that they can’t even get enough food to eat while working for the alliance.

As the gym trainer of Nibe Gym, Xiaogang represents not only the face of the Alliance, but also the face of Nibe City. It’s okay in other regions, as not many people know him. However, the Kanto region is his base camp, so there are definitely people who know him.

Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng are Qianli's children. Qianli is also a gym trainer under the alliance, so naturally he has to know a little etiquette.

Not to mention Liliae, the little princess of the Ether Foundation. She has attended more large-scale parties than Gongsun Yan and others combined, and elegance is almost engraved in her bones.

As everyone was walking around and eating, time passed slowly. At night, the entire city of Orudran was brightly lit, and the entire palace was as bright as day. A grand royal ball was being held inside.

Before the ball started, Queen Irene solemnly handed the Staff of the Brave left by Aaron to Xiaozhi in front of everyone.

After receiving the Staff of the Brave, Xiaozhi suddenly became dazed, as if he heard some voice. He kept looking around, and finally focused his eyes on the gem on the top of the Staff of the Brave.

There was a powerful wave inside this gem calling him, making Xiaozhi feel both familiar and strange.

ps: Don't worry about Kyogre, it has been put on the agenda, otherwise he will miss the subsequent movie version of the Prince of the Sea.

Chapter 158: Dance to your heart's content.

After sensing the familiar yet unfamiliar wave power, Xiaozhi subconsciously wanted to inject his own wave power into the gem on the top of the scepter.

But just as the familiar blue light appeared in Xiaozhi's eyes, a creepy gaze fixed on Xiaozhi, causing him to shiver, and the wave power that had just condensed also dissipated.

Because Xiaozhi's waveguide was retracted too quickly, the gem on the Brave Staff only had time to flash twice before returning to its original state.

The light lasted for too short a time, so apart from Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi who was nearby, even Xiaogang and the others didn't notice it.

However, there seemed to be an exception. When the gem was flashing, Queen Irene, who was sitting above, seemed to sense something. She shifted her gaze to Xiaozhi and her expression became thoughtful.

After thinking for a while, Queen Irene immediately returned to normal and sat upright on the throne, looking no different from before.

But even though the queen only showed a trance for a few seconds, she still did not escape Gongsun Yan's sharp eyes and was seen clearly.

However, because Gongsun Yan had already anticipated this, and now it only confirmed Gongsun Yan's original idea, Gongsun Yan did not react at all. His attention was now focused on another matter.

That’s right, the person who scared Xiaozhi just now was none other than our protagonist Gongsun Yan.

He had originally told Xiaozhi not to cause any trouble during the dance, but Xiaozhi was so surprised that he almost ruined his plan, so he stopped Xiaozhi with a fierce look.

As for the reason, it is very simple. This is the royal ball tonight. Since it is a ball, there must be dancing, and dancing will inevitably involve physical contact.

Although Gongsun Yan and Liliae are in a sense...right, but Liliae is still relatively reserved outside, and holding hands with Gongsun Yan is already the bottom line.

Logically speaking, Gongsun Yan should be satisfied, but human desires are like rolling stones on a mountain, once they start, they can never be stopped.

Since ancient times, persuading women of good families to go into prostitution and persuading prostitutes to become good women have always been the two things that scholars like to do the most, and they always bring people a sense of accomplishment.

Although Gongsun Yan didn't have such a hobby, he still wanted to have close contact with Liliae in public, and he had never danced before.
