Maybe everyone has forgotten that Gongsun Yan was a designer in his previous life. Since he was a designer, he could never escape the stupid client, who almost made Gongsun Yan seriously ill.
Xiaozhi and the others were obviously troubled by Ho-Oh's words, even though they all knew that it would be extremely difficult to perfectly meet such a purely heartfelt standard.
Actually, this is not the point. As long as Xiaozhi asks Ho-Oh what his psychological expectations are, he can still take action. At least he won't be busy for a long time and end up losing everything.
But Ho-Oh perfectly embodies the image of a rude and unreasonable Party A, as if the Pokémon who was full of confidence in Ash outside the World Tree before was not Him. He looked condescending and did not give Ash any chance to ask questions at all.
"As for you two...you have been with me for so long. From now on, you are free. If there are trainers you approve of, you can follow them."
After announcing Xiaozhi's mission, Ho-Oh turned his gaze directly to the other two of the three sacred beasts behind him and said with a hint of melancholy.
Chapter 214: Emperor Yan's Challenge
After hearing what the Phoenix King said, the only ones who were shocked were probably Gongsun Yan and the others. None of the three sacred beasts showed the slightest bit of surprise and directly bowed deeply to the Phoenix King.
Gongsun Yan and his group didn't know how much the King of Phoenix thought highly of Xiaozhi, how could they not know? Ever since the King of Phoenix personally asked Suicune to find Xiaozhi, they knew that this day would come sooner or later.
Xiaozhi hasn't found a place for Ho-Oh to live yet. Even after receiving the order just five minutes ago, Ho-Oh dismissed the three sacred beasts around him. Xiaozhi is worthy of being the son of the plane!
When they first learned about this, except for Suicune, the three sacred beasts who had already set their sights on Satoshi, Entei and Raikou all felt a little confused.
These three holy beasts were the three unknown Pokémon that were burned to death in the Burnt Tower and resurrected by the Ho-Oh. They were also the three holy beasts that had always followed the Ho-Oh. It was really difficult for them to be allowed to move freely suddenly.
The remaining three sacred beasts were not born in this way. They were all created by the Phoenix King using natural materials such as fire, water, and lightning from various regions.
And as soon as it was created, it was released by Ho-oh and became Ho-oh's spy in the area.
You know, no matter which batch of the three sacred beasts, their natural mission is to travel around the world for Ho-Oh and find areas suitable for Ho-Oh to live.
Of course, the above are just polite words, and only the three sacred beasts know that the so-called responsibility is nonsense. With so many of them, they have already traveled through the entire Pokémon world over the years and picked out countless suitable places.
As a result, these places were directly vetoed by the King of Phoenix. No matter how many questions they asked, they just said they didn't like them. This really tortured them.
So, under such circumstances, what kind of place could catch the eye of the Phoenix King? It's simple. As long as it's a place chosen by the Rainbow Hero and it's not too extreme, He will accept it.
......What can I say? I can only say that it is a good thing that the three sacred beasts were created by the Ho-oh, otherwise the three sacred beasts would definitely rebel. Who is the biological son after all?
This is what the three holy beasts don’t understand. If they have many biological sons, they will not be as conspicuous as the only adopted son.
Without saying too much, there is at least one team of three sacred beasts in every region. The Sinnoh region is very blessed. Not only did Ho-Oh arrange a team of ordinary three sacred beasts, he even created a team of shining three sacred beasts, which is simply too impressive.
With this rough calculation, the number of the Three Holy Beasts is over twenty. It is normal that they value Xiaozhi, the only Rainbow Hero, more.
Of course, this is just an idea that the three sacred beasts use to comfort themselves. The truth is often more cruel. Is it possible? I say it is possible, that Ho-Oh does not treat the three sacred beasts as his own sons, but treats Satoshi as his own son?
Okay, let's move on to the next question. It would be impolite to continue.
After this period of transition, Emperor Yan and Thunder God have finally found their future paths.
Perhaps influenced by Suicune, Entei and Raikou did not choose to travel freely to every corner of the world, but instead planned to find a trainer they liked, follow each other, and look at the world from another perspective.
But ideas are just ideas. It goes without saying how high the vision of extremely proud divine beasts like Entei and Raikou is. There are only a few people in the entire Pokémon world who are valued by them.
Lei Gong does have some goals. When he was traveling in the Johto area, he met a very interesting person. He planned to investigate the other party first to see if the other party was qualified for him to follow.
But Yan Emperor is different. He has been avoiding humans in the past years. This leads to the fact that now he wants to find someone to follow, but he finds that he doesn’t seem to know many humans. This is a bit embarrassing.
After paying his final respects to the King of Phoenix, Raigong turned and left, intending to look for the person who had left a deep impression on him.
However, although Lei Gong appears to be somewhat heartless, it is only because he is not good at expressing his feelings. As long as the King of Phoenix needs him in the future, he will definitely help him.
"Tsk tsk, it looks like Thunder God already has someone he wants to follow. I wonder which person who stepped on dog shit when going out has such good luck, huh? Why is everyone's attention focused on me?"
(Someone far away in the Hoenn region: Achu!)
Just now, Xiaozhi told Gongsun Yan and others the news he heard from Suicune, so Gongsun Yan made such an exclamation.
Before he could finish his sigh, he found that everyone present was staring at him with an extremely strange look, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Hmm? Emperor Yan? What are you doing? Could it be that?"
At this moment, Gongsun Yan discovered that a sturdy figure appeared beside him. When he looked closely, he found that it was the last of the three sacred beasts and Gongsun Yan's favorite, Emperor Yan.
That’s right, Gongsun Yan’s favorite of the three sacred beasts is Entei. Although Suicune is also very handsome, Gongsun Yan still prefers Pokémon with more muscular features, and Entei can be said to be in line with Gongsun Yan’s aesthetic standards.
As for Leigong... To be honest, Gongsun Yan has always felt that when Ho-oh was designing Leigong, he didn't sleep well and was in a trance, otherwise how could he create such a creature that lowers the appearance of the three sacred beasts.
Although the real Raigong is much better looking than the one in anime and games, the looks of Suicune and Entei have also improved accordingly. In comparison, Raigong is still the one with the lowest looks.
Just as Ho-Oh released the three sacred beasts to look for a trainer of his choice, Entei appeared beside Gongsun Yan. This made him have a thought that even he felt was a bit absurd: Could it be that Entei valued him?
"roar~"
Emperor Yan obviously saw the excitement in Gongsun Yan's eyes, but although he had already recognized Gongsun Yan, he still wanted to see Gongsun Yan's quality.
Yan Di just roared at Gongsun Yan, then gestured to the Poké Ball on Gongsun Yan's waist. Now Yan Di's meaning was very clear. He wanted to fight with Gongsun Yan to decide whether to follow Gongsun Yan.
"Okay... um~"
At first, Gongsun Yan was so excited that he put his hand on the Poké Ball on his waist, intending to have a hearty battle with Entei.
But the moment his hand touched the Poké Ball, he suddenly realized that the Pokémon on him were no longer able to fight a battle of this level.
Chapter 215: Groudon, It's You
"......Alas~"
Gongsun Yan's face was ferocious for a while, but he finally sighed heavily and dropped his right hand that was on the Poké Ball.
"I'm sorry, Entei, but my Pokémon can't stand another battle right now. You should find another trainer."
After saying this, Gongsun Yan's expression inexplicably relaxed, although he was still a little unwilling.
To be honest, Gongsun Yan really likes Pokémon like Entei, but he still can't ignore the safety of his Pokémon, so he has to give it up with reluctance.
Even after Gongsun Yan said this, he didn't even look at Emperor Yan. He turned around directly, fearing that Emperor Yan would see his reluctant look.
"roar~"
It was not until this time that Emperor Yan reacted. It seemed that he was rejected by Gongsun Yan. This was the first time he was rejected in his life, and he was stunned for a long time.
How should I put it? This feeling is quite novel. Yan Emperor felt the inexplicable discomfort in his heart, and the flames on his body began to surge. It can be seen that Yan Emperor was very excited.
"boom!"
At this moment, the flames on Emperor Yan's body suddenly began to burn fiercely, and there was a faint sound of a volcanic eruption.
Based on the description of Yan Emperor in the illustrations, everyone's first reaction was that Yan Emperor was really angry, otherwise such a strange phenomenon would not have occurred.
But the fact is not like that. Even Emperor Yan felt a little puzzled, because he clearly felt that the volcanoes in his perception suddenly boiled up and were directly out of his control.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a crimson figure that appeared in Gongsun Yan's place at some point in time roared, slapped his chest twice, and challenged Emperor Yan.
"Grawo? How could you, not...ah! I remember now, could it be that you can now?"
When seeing Groudon appear, Gongsun Yan didn't react for a moment and subconsciously planned to take Groudon back to avoid disrupting Xiaozhi's assessment.
But just when Gongsun Yan was about to take action, he was stunned. Xiaozhi's assessment seemed to have ended, and he didn't seem to have to be timid anymore.
"Graw-O, I'm counting on you from now on!"
Gongsun Yan's mood at this moment was like a ray of hope. He thought he had no chance, but then there was a sudden turn of events. It was simply amazing!
However, unlike Gongsun Yan, Emperor Yan's mood at this moment was extremely complicated. Although he was very angry at first that Gongsun Yan refused his challenge, he actually quite admired Gongsun Yan.
If Gongsun Yan had just ignored his exhausted Pokémon and insisted on fighting him, He would have thought twice and wondered if he had misjudged him.
Facts have proved that he was not wrong about the person. His vision is very good. The young man in front of him is just like him. He yearns for power, but he has not abandoned the kindness in his heart.
The compatibility between this young man and him was so good that Emperor Yan could not help but feel a desire to admire his talent. He was just about to tell Gongsun Yan that he was not in a hurry and that he could wait two days before fighting Gongsun Yan.
At this moment, the two Poké Balls on Gongsun Yan's waist began to shake, and then Groudon jumped out. The other Poké Ball shook unwillingly twice, but finally did not open.
Obviously, Groudon and Rayquaza, who were in the Poké Ball, were both planning to come out to help Gongsun Yan fight this battle. In the end, Groudon was faster and jumped out first.
Rayquaza, who was in the Poké Ball, was so angry. He was just a little slow, and Groudon got there first, so he could only sulk alone.
There is no way, Rayquaza cannot jump out now, otherwise its nature will change.
It wouldn't be excessive for either him or Groudon to come out, because it was Entei who initiated the challenge first, and the two of them were just responding to the challenge. This logic makes sense everywhere.
But if the two of them come out together, it would seem like they are trying to overturn the table, and the Phoenix King on the side won't just pass by so easily.
Oh, by the way, Ho-Oh hasn't left yet. Instead, he is watching the battle with great interest. The look on his face made Gongsun Yan almost want to take out a bucket of popcorn and offer it to this great god.
Well, okay, having said so much, anyway, after Entei saw Groudon appear, the whole Pokémon was in trouble. If it weren't for the fact that he still had some dignity as a legendary beast, he would probably have admitted defeat directly.
Don’t say that Yan Emperor followed his heart. This can be seen from the various explanations of Yan Emperor in the illustrated book.
[Yandi was born when a volcano erupted. Yandi has the ability to spit out flames hotter than volcanic magma, and also has strong physical strength and endurance. When it roars, its roar may cause a volcano somewhere to erupt. Yandi usually lives on the grassland. ]
Although we all know that Yan Emperor was created by Feng Wang and has nothing to do with volcanic eruptions, it can also be seen that Yan Emperor and volcanoes are inextricably linked.
Then let us review the description of Groudon in the picture book, and I believe everyone can see the relationship between the two.
[Grawdo is the creator of the land in the Pokémon world. It has a powerful ability to control light and heat, and can evaporate flooded areas or cause volcanic eruptions to create land. Groudon sleeps in the lava underground, and once it wakes up, the volcano will erupt. When Groudon meets his nemesis Kyogre, they will fight to the death. ]
One creates volcanoes, and the other can only trigger volcanoes. Let’s not talk about the difference in strength for now. It is the result of the combined effect of quality and quantity. In terms of quality alone, Groudon is definitely in a class of its own.
Although Entei did not run away when facing Groudon, he was naturally three points weaker in momentum. After all, when Ho-oh created Entei, he also borrowed some of Groudon's settings.
Looking at Gongsun Yan's smiling face, Emperor Yan felt for the first time that the handsome face in front of him looked so hideous that he almost wanted to spit fire at him.
In fact, Emperor Yan really had such a plan, but after seeing the red figure standing next to Gongsun Yan, he silently swallowed the flame in his mouth and walked out of the cave silently.
Following the footsteps of Emperor Yan, Gongsun Yan and Groudon also walked out of the cave. They definitely could not fight this battle in the core of the World Tree, otherwise, even Mew would not have to do anything, the King of Phoenix would have to beat them out.
Ho-Oh also flew out to watch the fun. Although Ash and the others had some ideas, they still stayed for a while because Ash's Mew was about to fish out the Pokémon that had been swallowed before, and they had to greet it.
Chapter 216: Well, Yanmen!
"Hurry, hurry, the fight over there must be intense. We've already missed the beginning, so we can't miss the rest!"
Xiaozhi and his friends were running out of the World Tree. After picking up those Pokémon, they immediately planned to watch the battle between Gongsun Yan and Entei.
And Mew is still in the core of the World Tree. In addition to Gongsun Yan and his Pokémon, many Pokémon living in the World Tree have also been swallowed up. He still needs to fish out those unlucky ones.
But Menghuan is a playful person. He really wanted to watch the battle, but he was restrained by his own responsibilities and almost cried.
Fortunately, Xiaozhi coaxed Mew in time, otherwise Xiaozhi and the others would not have escaped from the core so easily.
As for those Pokémon that were swallowed, the World Tree no longer had the desire to swallow them after its restart, but the World Tree did not have the ability to spit them out actively, so it had to ask Mew for help.
So in fact, no matter when Menghuan goes to rescue them, they will be fine. They just need to endure the endless silence while staying awake.
This is also the reason why Mew wants to release them quickly. Being locked up in a small dark room is even more painful than death. Mew is kind-hearted and can't bear to see these Pokémon suffer.
However, even though Xiaozhi and the others ran out as fast as they could, they still couldn't catch up with the battle between Gongsun Yan and Yan Di. At most, they could only watch the ending.
"Grawo, Big Fire Breath!"
As Xiaozhi and the others ran out of the cave, they heard Gongsun Yan shouting, and then the earth began to shake violently, and a new volcano rose from under the feet of Yan Emperor.
"Roar!"
Emperor Yan immediately noticed the abnormal surge of magma underground and subconsciously wanted to leave the place, but he was still a step too slow.
"boom!"
The ground beneath Yan Emperor's feet had already become much thinner due to the surge of magma underground. Coupled with Yan Emperor's powerful jump, the ground shattered directly, revealing the magma that was constantly surging.
"Roar!"
"Goooooooooo."
Emperor Yan in mid-air really couldn't find any place to stand, and finally he could only roar unwillingly and fell into the magma with a plop.
"Ah!" X2
Xiaoyao and Liliae couldn't help but scream when they saw this scene. They obviously thought that Yan Di was in great danger.
Logically speaking, it is not surprising that Xiaoyao would have such an idea. After all, she has never learned any knowledge about Pokémon since she was a child.
But Liliae shouldn't have done that. She was a famous talented woman in Alola. She knew all the information in the encyclopedia by heart. How could she think that Entei was in great danger after falling into the lava?
In fact, this is normal. Knowledge gained from books is always shallow. If you have learned the knowledge but have not put it into practice, it is obvious that you will not be able to fully understand it.
People like Ash and Brock didn't make such a fuss. It was just some lava. Most fire-type Pokémon can even take a bath in lava, not to mention legendary Pokémon like Entei.
Without saying too much, when Ash was challenging the Crimson Gym, Charizard had a fight with Xia Bo's Infernape in the lava, and there was no obstacle at all.
