Gongsun Yan had no aversion to this. He was no longer a middle school kid and naturally knew that one had to pay in order to get something.
Moreover, Pokémon attacks on cities rarely occur. If you are unlucky enough to encounter one, you can only say that you are unlucky.
In this world, he has a good positive background, and his innate starting point is much higher than that of ordinary people. Gongsun Yan certainly would not say that he would rely entirely on his own strength without relying on the slightest help from his elders. That would be completely stupid!
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight! While gaining more, you also need strong strength to protect it all!
After becoming an elite trainer, Gongsun Yan's obligations did not actually change, but his own authority was greater. Some hidden files of the alliance were also opened to Gongsun Yan, but they were not very attractive to him.
Gongsun Yan looked at the uniform in his hand again and again, and finally put the clothes into his backpack. This uniform is cool, but it is still too popular and not suitable for traveling.
After completing the formalities, Gongsun Yan sat in the lobby of the Pokémon Center, waiting for his and Teacher Qianli's Pokémon to recover, and by the way, listened to the trainers chatting nearby.
After the Pokémon Center's broadcast notified Gongsun Yan to go and collect his Pokémon, Gongsun Yan slowly stood up with a reluctant look on his face.
"Wow, I just realized that all the trainers here are talented. Someone even shared his love story with Pokémon. He's such a warrior!"
Gongsun Yan smacked his lips as he walked. What the trainer just said was really wonderful. He talked from the simplest to the most complex, and it made people feel like they were there. This person has the potential to be a Rakugo, but he just needs to polish his acting skills. Who would believe him when he said he had a friend with a nostalgic look on his face?
Gongsun Yan, who returned to the Chenghua Gym with the Poké Ball, was drafted by Qianli and had to clean up the gym with other apprentices. They finally finished the work but it was already dark.
After a busy day, Gongsun Yan fell on his bed. Just as he was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the window of the room.
"Who is this! Knocking on my window in the middle of the night!" Gongsun Yan cursed inwardly this guy who disturbed his sweet sleep. He had already lain down, but he had to get up again and open the window.
When the window opened, the two mountains of Taihang and Wangwu appeared...Oh, I went to the wrong set. Qianli and the hyperactive ape appeared in front of Gongsun Yan.
"Well, teacher, after you saw the moonlight, you suddenly had the idea to go and admire the moon, but found that no one was there to accompany you, so you came to find your disciple to admire the moon together?" Gongsun Yan looked at Qianli outside the window with a constipated look on his face. He couldn't figure out why the other party came to find him so late at night instead of sleeping.
Qianli glanced at Gongsun Yan sideways, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the greenhouse, and made a gesture with his lips to let Gongsun Yan come out.
Gongsun Yan had no way to refuse his teacher's appointment late at night (he couldn't beat him, nor was he as treacherous as him). He could only put on the clothes he had just taken off and jumped out through the window.
Following Qianli into the greenhouse, Gongsun Yan could finally ask his teacher what was up to.
"No, teacher, you brought me here so late, are you trying to show off to me that the plants in the greenhouse have become more vibrant?" Gongsun Yan casually said the most ridiculous conclusion to tease Qianli who disturbed his rest.
"Stop talking nonsense and help me arrange the fireworks for tomorrow. Didn't you say that we should arrange the location and order of the fireworks so that we can give the best gift?"
After hearing what Qianli said, Gongsun Yan wanted to slap himself twice for making the suggestion before, saying that he was a bad-mouthed person and that he was meddling in other people's business. Now he has got himself into trouble.
"Well, teacher, we don't have to come to decorate so late at night. Why don't we come before dinner tomorrow?"
Gongsun Yan wanted to make a last-ditch effort, but Qianli was cold and ruthless.
"Don't overthink it. We have to prepare the fireworks tonight. Mitsuko won't come to the greenhouse tomorrow. If we don't set it up in advance, we won't have time. Come over for the rehearsal and put the fireworks in the corresponding positions after the rehearsal."
Gongsun Yan had no choice but to release his Hyperactive Monkey. It was good to reduce his workload. The other Pokémon had already rested, and only Hyperactive Monkey had the energy to help. Perhaps this was the reason why Qianli brought Hyperactive Monkey with him.
In short, under the pressure of the unscrupulous teacher, Gongsun Yan confirmed the location of the fireworks again and again to ensure that the subsequent surprise was foolproof, and waited until Qianli finally confirmed all the details.
Its daybreak!
Qianli went to confirm the situation of the fireworks with Miss Joy, and Gongsun Yan was released. He fell in his room. Exhausted, Gongsun Yan almost threw himself onto his bed and fell into a sleep in a short while.
However, Gongsun Yan, who was sleeping, forgot one very important thing. He completely forgot that Xiaozhi and his friends had arrived in Chenghua City today, and that the three real protagonists also came with Xiaozhi.
In short, when Gongsun Yan was awakened by an explosion, he was still in a daze and didn't know what had happened, but suddenly he reacted.
"Oh my god, Team Rocket! Gardevoir, take me there!"
Gongsun Yan climbed up in a hurry. Fortunately, he was so tired that he forgot to put on his clothes. In order to avoid wasting time putting on clothes, he directly threw Gardevoir's Poké Ball out and asked her to take him there.
As soon as Gongsun Yan arrived at the scene, he saw Qianli and others confronting Team Rocket. Kojiro was ordering Desert Naya to use missile needles to attack Qianli and others.
Gongsun Yan immediately saw the fireworks that cast a shadow behind Qianli and the others. In a hurry, he did not release any Pokémon, and forgot the fact that Gardevoir was right next to him. He went into battle himself and punched Desert Naia, knocking it away while it was preparing a move.
"Oh my god, it hurts!" At this time, Gongsun Yan began to regret why he was so impulsive.
Chapter 95: World Famous Paintings (Thick Fog)
"You bastards! What do you want to do? You even got me hurt!"
Gongsun Yan felt like his right hand didn't belong to him anymore. The punch was too strong. In order to prevent tears from falling, he immediately turned to look at Team Rocket standing by, and roared at them with wide eyes. (Readers who want to try can punch Cactus. The author had cerebral palsy as a child, and the memory is still fresh.)
"Well, you did it yourself." Hearing Gongsun Yan's angry rebuke, Kojiro replied weakly.
Gongsun Yan immediately glared (it was so painful that tears almost fell), "How dare you talk back? Teacher Qianli, please teach them a lesson!"
Gongsun Yan hid behind Qianli as he spoke. The people around him were all frowning. Qianli raised his hand, considering whether to slap Gongsun Yan on the head in public.
"Teacher, their attack just now would have hit the fireworks nearby. If the fireworks were destroyed..."
Gongsun Yan was secretly fanning the flames behind Qianli's back, and Qianli's attention was successfully diverted. He had put a lot of effort into this surprise, and if it was ruined by these three clowns, it would be a disgrace to him.
"King of Leave! Deal with them!"
Following Qianli's roar, the King of Leave who was sleeping nearby suddenly opened his eyes. He did not open his eyes even though the Rocket Team's moves hit him just now, but he responded immediately after hearing his trainer's order.
"Ken!"
The King of Leave used a Qi Fist to hit Team Rocket and their Pokémon, turning them into meteors in the sky. The King of Leave seemed to sense the anger of his trainer, and Gongsun Yan felt that this Qi Fist was more destructive than the Hammer of the Arm yesterday.
Xiaozhi, who was standing by, was speechless for a moment when he saw the strength of the King of Leave.
After dealing with Team Rocket, Qianli hurried to the place where the fireworks were placed to check. When she found that the fireworks were not damaged, she breathed a sigh of relief. Xiaoyao and Xiaozheng at the side also came over curiously and asked curiously.
"What are these?"
Qianli found that he was too excited. It seemed that Xiaoyao and the others were determined to get to the bottom of the matter. Now that things had come to this, he did not intend to hide it any longer.
"This is a wedding anniversary surprise that Teacher Qianli gave to Mrs. Mitsuko!" Before Qianli could speak, Gongsun Yan spoke first. He saw that his teacher wanted to tell the story about the fireworks, but knowing that his teacher was thin-skinned, Gongsun Yan chose to save his teacher's face.
"Eh?! Is this a gift for mom?" Xiaosheng said in surprise.
"Fireworks?" Mitsuko didn't expect that her husband didn't go back to his room to sleep these few nights to prepare a surprise for her. She thought he went to see Miss Joy. Hearing this news, Mitsuko couldn't help but look up at Qianli who was embarrassed.
"Wow! Dad is so romantic as he prepared a surprise for Mom for our wedding anniversary!" The person who said this is definitely Xiaoyao, a teenage girl. This kind of romantic thing is what girls of this age yearn for the most.
Gongsun Yan, who was standing by, looked at his teacher and his teacher's wife staring at each other as if no one was around, and couldn't help but cough twice, which woke up the two people who were staring at each other affectionately, and they lowered their heads shyly.
Gongsun Yan felt a toothache as he watched from the side. These two have been married for more than ten years after all, so why are they reacting like those high school lovers who were exposed in their previous life? This is not an underground relationship, you are already an old married couple, and you are still playing this game.
Although Gongsun Yan was constantly criticizing in his heart, he never said these things out loud. Instead, he turned around and walked to Miss Joy and bowed to her.
"Ms. Joy, I'm really sorry to trouble you to prepare the fireworks during this period of time. Although I'm a little embarrassed, could you please check these fireworks again? After all, the fireworks may have been damaged just now."
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Qianli and Mitsuko also reacted and thanked Miss Joy. Qianli thanked Miss Joy for her help, and Mitsuko mainly apologized for having doubted Miss Joy before.
Miss Joy is indeed the epitome of gentleness. She didn't care about Mitsuko's misunderstanding at all, nor did she accept Qianli and Gongsun Yan's apologies. She went straight to check the fireworks.
Xiaozhi on the side was very curious and asked why Miss Joy was asked to check the fireworks.
"Because I have a license to make fireworks," said Miss Joy.
Xiao Gang, who was turned on by the beautiful sister, rushed to Miss Joy and began to admire Miss Joy's erudition. In order not to hinder Miss Joy from checking the gift her father gave to her mother, Xiao Sheng went up and dragged Xiao Gang away.
Afterwards, Gongsun Yan, who was watching the show on the side, was driven away by Qianli to help Miss Joy. It was not that Qianli was trying to get rid of the donkey or something, but mainly because Gongsun Yan looked so shameless and kept winking at his teacher. How could he tolerate this?
Afterwards, Qianli, Mitsuko and the others went into the gym to chat and prepare the evening banquet, while Gongsun Yan, with a miserable look on his face, shuttled through the grass in the greenhouse, moving the fireworks hidden inside out one by one for Miss Joy to check, and then moving them back to their original places.
This was also Gongsun Yan's fault, because it was he who proposed to expand the scale of the fireworks. If it had followed Qianli's plan, he would have been freed long ago.
Then, a world-famous painting appeared, "Gongsun Yan at Work"
..........................................................................................
Finally, night fell, and the group appeared outside the greenhouse together. In front of them were several long tables, each of which was filled with food, including precious ingredients such as Slowpoke's tail and Farfetch'n's onions.
Qianli originally disapproved of such extravagance, but Gongsun Yan said that on such an important festival, when else would we wait for extravagance? Then he took full control of the dinner and reimbursed all the expenses.
Faced with Gongsun Yan's generosity, Qianli had only one answer: to continue going out to work.
Then Gongsun Yan quietly returned to the greenhouse to work, and in his heart he continued to condemn Qianli's behavior of hiring child labor.
After seeing that everyone was ready, Qianli announced the start of the banquet, then raised the remote control in his hand and pressed the button on it.
"Puu~Pah!"
Fireworks flew into the sky, making the entire greenhouse as bright as day.
Chapter 96: Xiaozhi's Gift
After Gongsun Yan's "generous donation", the fireworks at this time were far from as shabby as in the animation, but one thing remained unchanged, that is, after the fireworks exploded, what appeared were the appearance of hunting swallowtail butterflies.
Hunting butterflies made of fireworks kept flying in the sky. As the hunting butterflies kept appearing and disappearing, a wedding photo of Chisato and Mitsuko appeared in the sky, and the hunting butterflies next to them also surrounded the two.
Mitsuko opened her eyes wide when she saw this scene and covered her mouth with her hands. She couldn't believe how huge the surprise was and she burst into tears of joy.
Qianli also took the opportunity to hug Mitsuko in his arms. Although he already knew Gongsun Yan's design drawings, simple pictures are never as shocking as seeing them in real life.
However, he was mentally prepared. Seeing his wife so moved, he silently gave Gongsun Yan a thumbs up in his heart. He decided to be more attentive in the future special training and make sure Gongsun Yan would remember it.
Gongsun Yan, who was admiring his masterpiece, suddenly shuddered, looked around, and found that nothing had happened.
"Maybe I didn't sleep last night and I feel a little uncomfortable."
Gongsun Yan then put the question behind him and continued to enjoy the fireworks in the sky. After all, he was a designer in his previous life, so he had some experience and sensitivity in art.
The fireworks show lasted for half an hour. After the last firework was released, the entire greenhouse was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees.
Gongsun Yan exclaimed that it was worthy of being a Pokémon world, even the fireworks were so environmentally friendly and filled with the energy of Grass-type Pokémon. Not only were they not as harmful as the fireworks of previous lives, they also promoted the growth of plants where the fireworks fell.
After the fireworks were over, everyone at the table was talking about the fireworks with great interest. Chisato and Mitsuko hugged each other and whispered sweet nothings to each other. The apprentices in the gym were all envious of the good relationship between the gym owner and his wife.
Gongsun Yanze and Xiaozhi got together. Xiaoyao dreamed that someone would give her a bigger fireworks display in the future. Xiaogang harassed Miss Joy under the pretext of discussing fireworks, and Xiaosheng tried to stop Xiaogang.
Even Xiaozhi, a straight man, praised the fireworks just now, but it only lasted for a while, and he immediately started talking about the battle with Gongsun Yan.
"You deserve to be single." Gongsun Yan first looked down on Xiaozhi's lack of understanding of romance, and then immersed himself in the conversation with Xiaozhi. When it came to exciting things, Gongsun Yan was even more excited than Xiaozhi.
Then a strange scene happened. While everyone else was immersed in the beauty of the fireworks, Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi were arguing with their faces flushed.
As a result, Pikachu on the side couldn't stand it anymore and ran to the two of them to stop their quarrel, but was defeated by a bottle of ketchup thrown by Gongsun Yan.
In short, everyone enjoyed the evening banquet. It could be said that Xiaozhi and his friends had hardly had a good meal since the beginning of their journey. After taking the first bite of food, they even lost interest in arguing with Gongsun Yan and devoted their whole heart to eating.
Gongsun Yan wasn't much better off. He started traveling right after he came here, and he didn't have the chance to eat these delicacies while training at the Chenghua Gym. He mostly ate fast food for the next week.
In short, an hour later, there was only a mess left on the table, and everyone except the Qianli couple had eaten their fill.
Pikachu was still holding onto the half-eaten bottle of ketchup, and kept sticking his tongue into the bottle to lick the remaining ketchup.
After finishing the meal, Gongsun Yan remembered that he had prepared gifts for Xiaozhi and the other two. Then he picked up his backpack from the side and took out the three Poké Balls in it.
"Xiaozhi, Xiaoyao, Xiaogang, these are three Pokémon with good qualifications that I have captured recently. However, I don't have enough energy to train them well now. After thinking about it, I decided to leave them to you to train."
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, everyone present was a little surprised. They all knew that the Pokémon Gongsun Yan captured were all rare and had potential. The Pokémon that he praised like this must be extraordinary, yet he just gave it away like that.
"How can this be possible! This is the Pokémon you captured, you should be the one training it."
Xiaozhi was the first to raise objections, followed by Xiaoyao and Xiaogang. Qianli watched with a smile on the side, thinking that it would be better to let the children decide for themselves regarding matters like these.
Gongsun Yan listened to Xiaozhi and the others' objections and suddenly felt touched. Most people would rush to get a Pokémon with good qualifications if they heard that someone was giving it to them, but Xiaozhi and the others refused to take advantage of him.
However, Gongsun Yan's idea of giving these Pokémon away was not shaken at all. These three Pokémon were like chicken ribs to him. Since he had taken them out of the game, he would definitely find a suitable trainer for them.
Then Gongsun Yan picked up the Poké Ball in front of Xiaozhi and released the Giant Jaw Ant inside.
"Ash, this Pokémon is called Antmand, and its evolved form, Gnat, is a Dragon-type and Ground-type Pokémon. Although it has great potential, I captured a Gnat before him, and its evolved form, Gnat, is much stronger than Gnat."
"So this giant ant is a bit wasted in my hands. Now that I have tamed him, I have to find a suitable trainer for him. If it's you, you will definitely be able to bring out his full potential!"
Gongsun Yan was trying to persuade Xiaozhi sincerely, and Xiaozhi was somewhat tempted, but still a little hesitant. It would be inappropriate to accept the other party's gift for nothing.
Seeing this, Gongsun Yan decided to take drastic measures. If Xiaozhi refused to accept it, the other two would never accept his gift.
"Xiaozhi, this giant ant loves to fight and wants to become stronger, but he has almost no chance to fight in my hands. I give him to you to fulfill his wish. If you don't accept him, he can only stay in the research institute and rarely fight."
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Xiaozhi finally made up his mind and took the Poké Ball that Gongsun Yan handed over. After all, he really loved Pokémon and didn't want to let the Jaw Ant's hopes be dashed.
"Okay, then I'll take this giant ant. But, Xiaoyan, if we meet each other at the Caiyou Conference, we must let the giant ant fight against the round land shark. I want to prove that he is not weaker than the round land shark."
Hearing these words, Gongsun Yan suddenly felt that the Satoshi in front of him had the same high-spirited aura as the Satoshi in the Kalos region in the anime.
"it is good!"
Chapter 97: Pikachu stops pretending
"it is good!"
Gongsun Yan also looked up at Xiaozhi with fire burning in his eyes. How could he say no to Xiaozhi's challenge?
