"Reggie~"
Facing the 'death stare' from Gongsun Yan and the others, the Three God Pillars seemed not to see it. They walked nonchalantly to the side of Gongsun Yan and the others, and then stood there motionless.
However, compared to Regilock and Regis Chirrut's "cold" appearance, Regiace's attitude towards Gongsun Yan was quite good, at least he greeted Gongsun Yan.
Gongsun Yan did not treat Reggieice badly. He said, "You treat me like a great man, and I will repay you like a great man." He took out a can of special energy cubes and gave it to Reggieice.
Reggies had obviously tasted the sweetness of the energy cubes. After getting the can of energy cubes, he ate it in front of Gongsun Yan.
By the way, Gongsun Yan didn’t know at first how Pokémon without mouths like Regice could eat energy cubes, but now he finally saw it.
Reggieice poured the energy cubes directly into the palm of his hand. After a few seconds, the energy cubes suddenly became shriveled and then turned into ashes.
That’s right, these divine pillars don’t really need to use their mouths to eat, and they don’t have any digestive organs, so they choose to directly absorb the energy contained in them.
The energy contained in the energy cube given by Gongsun Yan is pitifully small compared to those precious minerals.
But the energy of the energy cube is more pure. We can’t just look at the total amount of energy, the quality is also very important.
The energy cube made by Gongsun Yan is definitely top-notch, and he is not bragging. The energy contained in it is so pure that Reggie Ace can even directly integrate it into his body after absorbing it, with almost no rejection reaction.
As for the energy contained in those ores and ice, the Divine Pillar still needs a certain amount of time to purify it after absorbing it. Otherwise, if it accepts it all, it will affect the purity of its own energy.
That's why Reggieice likes these energy cubes so much. They taste good, and it's understandable that the quantity is smaller.
However, Reggieice must have studied in Shu. His face-changing skills are superb. After eating the energy cube, he turned his face away and stood still at the entrance of the cave like a wooden stake.
Gongsun Yan also started cursing upon seeing this, but no matter how he cursed, the three divine pillars ignored him, which almost made Gongsun Yan angry to death.
In the end, Gongsun Yan could only walk towards the core of the World Tree with a feeling of sullenness, while Xiaogang and the others were laughing secretly behind him, and even Liliae couldn't help laughing.
Logically speaking, after experiencing such a brutal battle and suffering such heavy casualties, everyone should not be so happy.
But who can blame those swallowed Pokémon for being able to be released again? After rounding it off, there is no loss at all, and you may even make some money, after all, you gain a lot of experience.
It can be said that as long as Xiaozhi and Lucario complete their tasks, they will make a lot of money, and it will not be a problem if the whole team is wiped out.
It can even be said that even if Ash and Lucario did not complete the mission and they were killed in the end, it would still be a huge profit because it is impossible for the World Tree to really get into trouble.
Therefore, the worst possible outcome is that there is no extra reward. Xiaozhi may suffer a loss since he failed the assessment. However, for Gongsun Yan and others, it is definitely not a loss, not to mention that the current situation is not that bad.
It was precisely because of this that everyone had the leisure to watch Gongsun Yan's angry look and laughed at him unceremoniously.
Facing the "ridicule" of the crowd, Gongsun Yan did not take it to heart. Everyone was just joking and there was no need to be so petty.
However, after entering the core, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them. Lucario was actually kneeling on one knee in front of a slightly unreal figure and crying bitterly, completely unlike his previous cold look.
The illusory figure was placing his right hand on Lucario's head and stroking it gently, with a look of tenderness on his face.
Xiaozhi was leaning against a rock wall, watching Lucario and the illusory figure interacting with each other with a smile on his face.
After seeing Xiaozhi, Pikachu also ran over hurriedly, but considering Xiaozhi's body, he did not jump directly on Xiaozhi.
I forgot to mention before, but Ash's Pokémon are actually also fighting outside, and their performance is excellent.
Not to mention Charizard, Lizard King, a Pokémon that charges head-on, has a better record than the two Magellars of Kiddo combined. (Mamagella: Are you polite?)
"Hey, look, this man looks like Xiaozhi!"
Chapter 209 The Admired Person
"Hey, look, this man looks like Xiaozhi!"
After repeatedly confirming the appearance of Xiaozhi and the man, Xiaosheng exclaimed directly, attracting everyone's attention.
"Hmm~, they are obviously not similar, but why do they feel so similar?"
Gongsun Yan seemed to be talking nonsense, but in fact he was telling the truth. This was the common feeling of everyone present.
In fact, if you just look at their appearance, the two are not alike at all. Even in terms of temperament, they are not exactly the same. But at first glance, the feeling is that they look alike.
It is a mysterious feeling, beyond appearance and temperament. If it must be expressed, it should be the soul!
"It feels normal because I am him, but he is not me."
Faced with everyone's doubts, the illusory figure, or Yalang, spoke directly to answer, but except for Gongsun Yan, no one else understood what this sentence meant.
"Dear Hero of the Wave, Mr. Yalang, thank you for everything you have done for this world and for peace."
Gongsun Yan bowed to Yalang with great solemnity, not for anything else, but just for everything Yalang had done. If it were him, he would never behave like this.
The reason why great people are called great people is because they have done things that we want to do but cannot do.
With Gongsun Yan's personal realm, he would never be able to reach this level in his eight lifetimes, but this does not prevent him from respecting these people.
The reason why Gongsun Yan respects Daigo and President Damarachi so much is because of this reason.
Wataru keeps running around for the stability of the alliance; Daigo can face the three pillars for the Hoenn region; Sirona can face two Sinnoh Great Lords for the Sinnoh region; and Dendei even carries the entire Galar region on his back.
Of course, the two things in the middle haven't actually happened yet, but based on Gongsun Yan's understanding of these champions, if they really encounter the situations in the original book, they will definitely step up without hesitation.
Without mentioning the distant past, let’s just talk about Mikoli. Although he was tricked into becoming the champion by Daigo, he was in the right position and did his job well. Everything he handled was flawless. He was a standard template of a champion.
Gongsun Yan has always resisted taking the position of one of the Four Heavenly Kings and the champion, not because he has no aspirations for that position, but because he feels that he is not worthy to be on par with those champions.
To be honest, Gongsun Yan is actually a very selfish person. He fundamentally does not agree with the idea of making selfless contributions for others, or even sacrificing his life.
Of course, it's just a thought, but if Gongsun Yan really encounters such a situation, will he make such a choice? It's hard to say.
What Gongsun Yan pursues is not absolute strength, nor supreme power, but the ability to play freely in the world.
Maybe he will defeat the people or Pokémon who prevent him from playing in the human world, but he doesn't want to be like Daigo because he feels that he is not worthy of it yet.
Gongsun Yan has always believed that if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up, so it will never be his turn to worry about these things. However, if one day he becomes the tallest person, he will do it without hesitation.
Aren’t guys like Daigo, Mikoli, Watari, and Dantei very handsome? Gongsun Yan also thinks so. He feels from the bottom of his heart that such men are very attractive, but it will take some time for him to become such a guy.
To be honest, Gongsun Yan learned a lot of good qualities from these champions. Faced with any difficult choice, he would not hesitate; faced with evil, he would act without hesitation; faced with people in need, he would lend a helping hand without hesitation; faced with a person who had reformed, he was willing to believe the other person, because he believed that the brilliance of human nature existed in everyone.
To be honest, if these champions were in Gongsun Yan's previous life, they would definitely be criticized by the majority of netizens to the point of doubting their lives, because they don't think there would be such people in the world.
If the opponent's hero is great, we attack him for corruption and bribery. If he is honest, we discredit him for his immoral private life. If he is loyal, we say he has a weird personality and that people cannot be perfect. If this is true, when he dies, we say he died of a sexually transmitted disease.
Perhaps only a world like the Pokémon world, which maintains peace all year round, can allow a living hero to stand in such a high position. After all, a good hero is best dead.
Do you know where all the legendary characters in Night City gather? In the cemetery!
Isn’t that what happened to Aaron? He died under the World Tree in pursuit of peace, thus creating a legend that has been passed down for many years.
If he had come back alive, he would never have achieved such a good reputation.
Gongsun Yan did not seek any fame, he just wanted to survive and help others as much as possible within his ability. As for being a king or a champion, none of them mattered.
However, Gongsun Yan did not expect one thing, that is, as his strength grew stronger, the scope of his abilities also became wider, and the number of people he could cover became more and more.
And even in this situation, Gongsun Yan was still able to maintain his original intention and keep a pure heart, which was what Daruma Ranchi and Daigo valued most.
The young man followed in the footsteps of his predecessors and continued to move forward, little did he know that in the eyes of future generations, he had also become a hero.
To put it in a more JOJO-like way, the boy admires the man in his memory who has a spirit as dazzling as gold. Unknowingly, he has become the object of others' admiration. This may be the golden spirit that is spreading in the world.
Haha, it seems like I accidentally got a little immature, anyway, I just want to express Gongsun Yan's respect for these heroes who have left their names in history.
But I don’t know if it’s because Gongsun Yan is a bad guy, but after he finished saying this, Yalang’s figure could no longer be maintained, and after twisting for a while, it disappeared.
"road!!!"
After feeling the wave in front of him disappear, Lucario, who was kneeling on one knee, let out a scream, his body shook suddenly, and he almost fainted on the ground.
Obviously, although we don't know why Yalang, who should have been assimilated by the World Tree thousands of years ago, can still appear, this is the best we can do. If he disappears this time, Yalang should really disappear... right?
Gongsun Yan really didn't dare to make any guarantees. These wave guide warriors were no pushovers and might jump out and scare people at any time.
Chapter 210 I told you he would fake his death
The incident finally came to an end, and everyone present felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off their hearts, but because of what had happened before, they were unable to smile.
Even though Aaron had disappeared for a while, Lucario was still half-kneeling there, with tears as big as soybeans dripping onto the ground.
Xiaozhi leaned against the wall, stroking the Pikachu standing on his shoulder with his right hand, his eyes full of sadness.
It's not that Xiaozhi is too emotional, it's mainly because Xiaozhi and Lucario have not disconnected the wave guide yet, and all the emotions on Lucario's side are copied to Xiaozhi.
Although Gongsun Yan didn't feel the same way, he still felt a little sad for some reason, and his mood became a little abnormal.
However, this emotion did not last long in Gongsun Yan's mind, because he noticed an unidentified creature lying under the rock wall on the other side.
After Gongsun Yan observed carefully, he was almost angry. It turned out that the dead body lying on the ground was the Lucario whom he had let go to help before.
Gongsun Yan didn't react at first, until he saw Lucario lying on the ground and then he remembered this. In a sense, Lucario was really miserable.
So what is going on? Why is Lucario unconscious in the corner? In fact, the answer is very simple. Compared with the other three animals present, Gongsun Yan's Lucario is definitely the weakest one, no doubt about it.
So when everything was about to end, Gongsun Yan's Lucario had fallen into a semi-comatose state, and was directly knocked away by the last wave of impact.
Xiaozhi and Lucario have good physical fitness, so the impact was just like a breeze on their faces, and they didn't even shake.
As for Aram...it's not right to use a material-level shock wave against a soul without an entity. Aram has been reincarnated as Xiaozhi, so this can't be Aram's soul.
Well, it should be something like a thought body, like the Zashiki-warashi in Japanese legend? Anyway, it's something like this.
Although these three are not easy to deal with and it would be unreasonable for ordinary people to compare with them, this does not prevent Gongsun Yan from deciding to deal with Lucario later.
Lucario, who was still in a coma, suddenly shook his body as if he had a nightmare, but soon returned to normal.
Unfortunately, Lucario, who is still in a coma, doesn't know that sometimes when he wakes up from a nightmare, there may be another bigger nightmare waiting for him...
Looking at the Lucario lying in the corner, Gongsun Yan became more and more angry, and finally he simply turned his head away and stopped looking at that side.
"...Hurry up, the other party needs your comfort right now!"
Gongsun Yan walked up to Xiaozhi and pushed him out. With his keen eyesight, he had already discovered that Xiaozhi was able to move normally, but he just couldn't bring himself to take a step.
Gongsun Yan saw through Xiaozhi's lazy character at a glance, so he chose to go up and help Xiaozhi and give him a more convincing reason so that he could make up his mind.
However, Gongsun Yan was not interested in the wine, but in the mountains and rivers. He pushed Xiaozhi out, and everyone's attention was focused on Xiaozhi, and no one paid attention to him.
Seeing that everyone's attention was distracted, Gongsun Yan quietly changed his position, walked to the side of Lucario who had fainted, took out a can of powerful medicine from his body, and sprayed it on Lucario.
Gongsun Yan is a person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Although he keeps saying how disappointing Lucario is, he still feels heartbroken when he sees him getting hurt.
"Hey, you're lucky. I'll definitely train you well from now on!"
Gongsun Yan said the most brutal words, but his hands became more and more gentle. He even took out a piece of resurrection grass from a small box, put it into Lucario's mouth, and let him hold it under his tongue.
The reason why Gongsun Yan chose to use resurrection grass instead of vitality blocks or vitality fragments that take effect faster is naturally due to some considerations.
Although items from the Vitality series take effect faster, they do have a certain impact on the Pokémon's body. However, the impact is not a big one. It will only consume some of the nutrients stored in the body. It can be replenished by eating something good afterwards.
However, there will be no such problem when using herbs or traditional Chinese medicine such as resurrection grass. The energy stored in these items is sufficient to support the therapeutic effect.
To put it simply, the Vitality Series items consume the energy in your body to heal you, while Resurrection Herb replenishes the energy you need, but the therapeutic effects of the two are similar.
I don’t know if it’s the influence of Gongsun Yan’s previous life, but although he has stored a lot of quick-acting props in his backpack, when conditions permit, he still prefers to use Chinese herbal medicine.
However, Gongsun Yan, who was muttering to himself, did not realize that his every move was seen by several Pokémon hiding nearby, and left a deep impression on one of the Pokémon, which made him, who was about to be freed, make an important decision.
..........................................................................................
"Lucario, would you like to travel with me?"
With a push from Gongsun Yan, Xiaozhi finally made up his mind and walked to Lucario's side. After hesitating for a while, he took off the glove on his right hand, put his hand on Lucario's shoulder, and said sincerely.
"..."
Hearing this, Lucario trembled and his pupils shrank slightly. As decisive as he was, he couldn't help but hesitate at this time.
Lucario's rationality told him that although the man in front of him was the reincarnation of Aaron, he was not Aaron after all. He had once made a vow to serve Lord Aaron for the rest of his life.
But for some reason, Lucario couldn't utter a word of refusal. His lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't even form a syllable. This was his sensibility shining through.
At this moment, Lucario seemed to feel a familiar and gentle will coming to him, putting his hand on Lucario's other shoulder, smiling and nodding.
At this moment, Lucario could no longer control his expression, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Chapter 211: One Dream After Another
"Lu~ (If you strongly request, it's not impossible!)"
Lucario responded to Ash with a standard tsundere attitude, and even tilted his head to the side after speaking. It was a textbook tsundere.
Lucario obviously also noticed this problem, so he touched his nose a little embarrassedly, and his face even turned a little red.
