"Card~"
The released Giant Jaw Ant was watching the interaction between Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi in confusion. Although he didn't quite understand what the two were saying, he realized that Xiaozhi would be his trainer in the future.
Then the Jaw Ant jumped directly to the open space on the side and challenged Xiaozhi, as if to test whether Xiaozhi was qualified to be his trainer.
"You want to fight me? That's just what I want, Pikachu. It's you!"
When Xiaozhi saw that the Jaw Ant challenged him, he was very excited. After all, he also loved fighting. He picked up Pikachu and rushed over.
Pikachu, who was caught by Xiaozhi, looked at Ketchup in despair as it was getting farther and farther away from him, his eyes full of despair (ノ?益?).
"Go ahead! Pikachu!"
Xiaozhi gave orders to Pikachu with great enthusiasm, but Pikachu ignored him and looked at the bottle of ketchup on the table with tears in his eyes.
"Hey! Pikachu, let's fight. You can still eat after the battle." Xiaozhi didn't expect Pikachu to be so obsessed with ketchup. He could only squat down and poke Pikachu with his finger, then said a few nice words.
"Pickup!"
In order to eat the remaining ketchup as soon as possible, Pikachu decided to deal with the giant ant in front of him immediately. He rushed to the front of the giant ant and was ready to give it his all.
"Pikachu, Iron Tail!"
Xiaozhi directly let Pikachu use the Iron Tail that he learned in the Hoenn region to fight the enemy. Pikachu's tail also appeared the color of steel, and it hit the Giant Jaw Ant hard.
"Crack!"
When the giant ant saw Pikachu's iron tail coming at him, he had no intention of dodging and opened his mouth to bite it. He was knocked back several steps by Pikachu, but he still bit Pikachu's tail hard with his mouth.
"crunch~"
After Pikachu's tail was bitten by the giant jaw ant, it made a series of harsh sounds, showing how strong the giant jaw ant's bite force is.
Pikachu kept running on the ground, with a giant jawed ant hanging on its tail and refusing to let go. Because the giant jawed ant refused to let go, Pikachu did not dare to remove the iron tail. After all, the harsh sound made Pikachu guess how painful the tail would be after it was removed.
"Pikachu, use one hundred thousand volts!"
Xiaozhi finally got smart for once. Although Ground-type Pokémon have great resistance to Electric-type moves after leaving the ground, they will not be almost immune to damage like when they are on solid ground.
But according to Gongsun Yan's guess, Xiaozhi didn't think so much and just habitually asked Pikachu to use 100,000 volts...
"Pika~~Qiu!!!"
Pikachu gathered his strength, and a large amount of electricity emerged from his body, flowing along Pikachu's tail into the body of the giant ant.
Seeing the amount of electricity coming out of Pikachu's body, Gongsun Yan was amazed. With just this one move of 100,000 volts, he estimated that no one except his Swampert and Serpent would be able to survive. If it was Charizard, he would probably have to be sent for rescue.
"Click~!"
The big Jaw Ant obviously didn't expect Pikachu to be so powerful. He experienced paralysis for the first time. After a scream, he opened his mouth and fell to the ground, unable to move.
"Go! Poké Ball!" Seeing this, Xiaozhi habitually threw the Poké Ball in his hand and put the Giant Jaw Ant into the Poké Ball.
"Ding!" The Poké Ball didn't even show any sign of shaking and just stopped. It seemed that Pikachu had attacked it very cruelly, and the Giant Jaw Ant didn't even have the strength to struggle.
"The big jaw ant, I conquered it!"
Xiaozhi held up the Great Jaw Ant's Poké Ball and struck his standard pose for capturing Pikachu, but Pikachu didn't agree with him at all. He ran back to the dining table, picked up the bottle of ketchup, and continued to fight.
Xiaozhi was not annoyed. He ran to the side to communicate with the giant jawed ant. With Xiaozhi's personal charm, the giant jawed ant would probably become Xiaozhi's follower soon.
Seeing that Xiaozhi had captured the Great Jaw Ant, everyone withdrew their gazes and focused on the two remaining Poké Balls on the table.
The eyes of those gym students were also somewhat enthusiastic. After all, the reason they stayed in the gym to study was not only to learn the knowledge of trainers, but also to hope to be valued by the gym owner and get the gym owner's Pokémon offspring or the same race.
However, Gongsun Yan casually gave the initial form of a dragon-type Pokémon. Although they didn't know how powerful the Desert Dragonfly was, there was no weak dragon-type Pokémon. Even the Red-faced Dragon, which was nicknamed "the shame of dragons" by netizens, was a rare powerful Pokémon.
However, the people who could keep Qianli in the gym were not ignorant, so they were just jealous and did not do anything out of line.
Gongsun Yan saw that everyone around him was very curious about what the remaining Pokémon were, so he didn't plan to keep them on suspense. He picked up the Poké Ball in front of Xiaoyao and released the Clownfish out of it.
"Wow, so cute~" Xiaoyao was originally looking forward to what kind of Pokémon was inside, but what caught her eye was a super ugly fish Pokémon. She blurted out "how ugly!"
When Gongsun Yan saw that Xiaoyao was about to say something wrong, he raised his hand and covered Xiaoyao's mouth to prevent her from saying the rest of the words, so as not to hurt Chouchouyu's feelings.
"Hehe, Xiaoyao, don't get excited. I know you like Ugliano fish very much, but there's no need to be so excited!"
Gongsun Yan immediately spoke to ease the situation, and explained Xiaoyao's reaction as excitement. Xiaoyao also knew what Gongsun Yan wanted to do, and blinked at him, and Gongsun Yan took his hand back.
Although the Chouchou fish was still jumping on the table and didn't seem to pay attention to what Gongsun Yan and the others said, according to Gongsun Yan's observation, the Chouchou fish was now jumping a little higher than at the beginning and at a higher frequency, which showed that the Chouchou fish also cared about other people's opinions of itself.
Gongsun Yan saw that nothing had gone wrong, but the people around him seemed a little confused, as if they didn't know about the Pokémon called Squidward. He was not surprised, because although Squidward was the most numerous in Hoenn, it was still much rarer than Magikarp that were everywhere on the streets.
"Ahem, this Pokémon is called Clownish. Even though she isn't very pretty now, her evolved Milotic is known as the most beautiful Pokémon in the world!"
"Ah!!! Are you talking about Master Mikoli's trump card, the charming Mienshao?"
Gongsun Yan obviously didn't expect how famous Mikoli was among the coordination trainers. As Mikoli's trump card, Milotic was as attractive to the coordination trainers as a nuclear bomb.
Chapter 98 I don't know what to name it
"Um, yes, it's that Milotic." Gongsun Yan was frightened by Xiaoyao's exaggerated reaction. He silently took a few steps back while answering. He felt that Xiaoyao was about to find someone to attack.
"Ah!!! It's really Mienshao!" Xiaoyao grabbed Xiaogang's hand and twisted it with excitement. Xiaogang's dark face suddenly turned pale, and he seemed to be deflated. He curled up beside Xiaoyao and didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Just when Gongsun Yan was rejoicing that he had escaped, Xiaoyao let go of the dying Xiaogang and directly hugged the Chouchou fish in front of him. The rippling look on his face made people feel a little confused.
Gongsun Yan and other people who knew Xiaoyao well knew that she was just imagining what the Uglius would look like after evolving, and they all ignored the unknown liquid flowing from Xiaoyao's mouth.
At this time, Gongsun Yan saw that the ugly fish in Xiaoyao's arms suddenly blushed and stopped struggling. The whole fish was immersed in Xiaoyao's arms.
Gongsun Yan confirmed again and again that this chouchou fish was indeed female. Could it be that there is also a tradition of lily blossoming here? Or is it that Pokémon and humans have a strong taste?
"Hehe, Xiaoyao, it's still quite difficult to evolve the Chouchou fish." Gongsun Yan saw Xiaoyao so excited, but he felt like he was cheating if he didn't explain the pros and cons.
"Eh?" Xiaoyao held the Chouchou fish and looked at Gongsun Yan with surprise.
Qianli naturally knew that if Merlin wanted to evolve, the beautiful scales needed would be very expensive, but after all, it was his daughter's favorite Pokémon, so he would never be stingy and asked for it immediately.
"It's okay. It's just a beautiful scale. I'll post a reward on the alliance's trading website right away."
As a candidate for the title of Heavenly King, Qianli must have considerable savings, he is just used to being frugal.
The trading network is a website established by the alliance to facilitate trainers to exchange resources. Here you can even see the trading of quasi-god Pokémon, but they are hard to come by, and once they appear, they will be snatched up by major families.
Many props are not always available. If you can’t wait, a reward will be posted there, and the price of the reward will usually be a little higher.
Some people may be curious here. Isn’t the trading of Pokémon strictly prohibited? How come there are still places selling Pokémon openly?
In fact, the League prohibits the indiscriminate and large-scale capture of Pokémon for sale, and also prohibits snatching other trainers' Pokémon. Many precious Pokémon live in protected areas, and capturing Pokémon in protected areas is not allowed.
That’s why those villain organizations sell the captured Pokémon on the black market. The price of Pokémon on the black market will be lower, but the quality is almost not that good, after all, they have all been screened.
Qianli tried his best for his daughter and planned to buy a beautiful scale at a high price, otherwise he might not be able to make it to the grand celebration in a month.
"Well, that's not necessary. Dewen Company will soon launch a new type of energy block. After experiments, this energy block can promote the evolution of the ugly fish." Gongsun Yan interrupted his teacher's pretentious behavior and advertised Dewen Company's new product.
Just last night, Gongsun Yan received a call from Researcher Ono, who excitedly told him that a Clownfish had already evolved into a Milotic with the help of this energy block, and that as long as he accumulated more experimental data, he could put this energy block on the shelves.
Gongsun Yan was also very excited about this. After all, the several sets of exercise equipment he had ordered from Dewen Company had already emptied his small treasury, and the remaining ones were also consumed in this party. He needed a large amount of capital injection.
Relying on his father's reputation, Gongsun Yan got 30% of the profits from the energy cube. Gongsun Yan was very satisfied with this. After all, he didn't have to do anything, everything was taken care of by Dewen Company. Even the formula of the energy cube was just a memory he got for free in his previous life.
"Although this energy cube requires more money to evolve the Clownfish than a Beautiful Scale, the food expenses during the period before the evolution are actually about the same."
That’s right, after calculations by Devin Company, the final total price is more expensive than a beautiful scale, but beautiful scales are not always available, while energy blocks can be made at any time as long as the materials are available.
"Xiaoyao, you don't have to buy those mass-produced energy cubes. I gave this formula to Devon Company. I will make it when I travel later."
Gongsun Yan also took the responsibility of buying all the energy blocks needed for the next evolution of the Ugly Fish. After all, the raw materials alone would not cost much money. It's just that some tree fruits are rare, so the price is relatively high.
Gongsun Yan can grow this kind of fruit in the game, which is more than enough to supply just one Pokémon.
"Wow, thank you! Smelly, you're about to evolve into Milotic. Aren't you very happy?"
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Xiaoyao first thanked him very seriously, and then went to excitedly analyze the good news with Chouchouyu.
Gongsun Yan, who had long known how cheerful Xiaoyao's personality was, could only smile helplessly, "I guess Xiaoyao will only become mature after becoming a Hoenn Dancer." Gongsun Yan thought to himself.
At this moment, Gongsun Yan felt a very resentful gaze looking at him from the side. He shuddered involuntarily and turned around to see Xiaogang squatting on the ground looking at him resentfully.
It would be fine if a beautiful girl looked at him like this, but it was a bit uncomfortable for a man to look at him like this.
Gongsun Yan quickly picked up the last Poké Ball on the table and spoke to Xiaogang, who was instantly revived to full health.
"Although this Pokémon doesn't have as much potential as the two Pokémon that Xiaozhi and Xiaoyao have, it is more precious. Come out, Archaic Featherworm!"
A white light flashed, and the ancient feathered insect that was previously resurrected at Devin Company appeared in front of Xiaogang.
Gongsun Yan had seized this ancient feathered insect from Researcher Ono just one hour before the dinner was to start. Although the examination had been almost completed, Ono still wanted to study this miraculous ancient feathered insect more.
"Xiaogang, this is the Ancient Feather Worm, an ancient Pokémon that was resurrected in Devin Company not long ago. The fossil of this Ancient Feather Worm is almost 100% complete, so the potential of this Ancient Feather Worm is inestimable."
"Since I found the fossil, I will be the one to decide who will be the trainer of this ancient feathered insect. After much thought, I think you are the most suitable."
Chapter 99: Food Preparation
"After thinking it over, I still think you are the most suitable."
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Xiao Gang's first reaction was not happiness, but silence. Finally, he looked up and said something.
"No, I can't have this ancient feathered insect."
Gongsun Yan did not expect that Xiaogang would reject him. After all, Xiaogang was the Rock-type Gym Leader in the Kanto region and should like Rock-type Pokémon very much, not to mention that this was a very rare ancient Pokémon.
However, what Xiaogang said afterwards explained the reason for the matter and also allowed Gongsun Yan to have a deeper understanding of Xiaogang, the pillar of the team.
"This ancient feathered insect should have profound research value. I am just a trainer and breeder. It is not appropriate for me to hold this ancient feathered insect. I'd better leave it to Devon Company."
Gongsun Yan could see Xiaogang's love for this ancient feathered insect (Xiaogang's eyes widened and he could see his eyes). But he still resolutely gave up this ancient feathered insect. After all, the research value of this ancient feathered insect was higher than its combat value.
After hearing what Xiaogang said, the ancient feathered insect looked up at the person in front of him who was looking at him with a look of great regret, and suddenly felt a sense of intimacy, so he crawled in front of Xiaogang and touched him with his claws.
"Xiaogang, look, this ancient feathered insect likes you so much, how can you just give up on it?" Gongsun Yan still wanted Xiaogang to accept the ancient feathered insect. He was very confident in Xiaogang's ability to raise it. After all, Xiaozhi basically did not train his own Pokémon, and the fact that it could have such strong strength was thanks to Xiaogang's efforts.
"And Devon Company has not given up on this ancient feather worm. You need to hand it over to them for half a day of inspection every week. After you return to the Kanto region, Devon Company will also build a fossil resurrection department laboratory in Nibi City to facilitate data collection. Of course, you will receive a certain amount of subsidies every month, so don't worry."
This was not something Gongsun Yan made up. Although Ono and the others allowed Gongsun Yan to take the Ancient Featherworm, they had to track it down and investigate it, and it would be best if they could collect the order of all its stages. And if you want to evolve a Pokémon like Ancient Featherworm that loves fighting, you need the help of a trainer, so they acquiesced to Gongsun Yan taking the Ancient Featherworm.
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Xiao Gang hesitated visibly, not because he had to collect data on ancient feathered insects every week. He didn't care about that, but what really made him hesitate was the monthly subsidy.
Although Xiaogang's family also runs a gym, he has too many brothers and sisters, and their parents are too disappointing, so Xiaogang has to work hard to support the family. Although his parents have returned to the gym now, they are still not rich, and this subsidy will allow his brothers and sisters to live a better life.
Xiaogang finally accepted the ancient feathered insect. After all, he really liked it. The ancient feathered insect also liked Xiaogang very much. After accepting it, it thanked Gongsun Yan very solemnly.
Gongsun Yan suggested that Xiaogang should show off his cooking skills when traveling next time so that he can have a better life.
Xiaogang immediately expressed his willingness to use all his cooking skills to thank Gongsun Yan.
Gongsun Yan finally persuaded Xiaogang to accept the ancient feathered insect. Xiaozhi also had a good relationship with the giant jawed ant and walked back carrying it on his shoulders.
Gongsun Yan was amazed. It was okay for Pikachu to stay on Xiaozhi's shoulder, as it only weighed 6kg. The Great Jawbone weighed 15kg, which was equivalent to two Pikachus. However, Xiaozhi walked back without changing his expression as if it had no weight.
Gongsun Yan saw that he had achieved his goal, so he turned around and wanted to go back to his room to sleep, but Qianli grabbed his head and drove him back.
"Pack your things and don't run around."
After saying this, Qianli and Mitsuko disappeared somewhere unknown. After Gongsun Yan failed to escape, he could only clean up the mess obediently.
Gongsun Yan, who was working, was not thinking about this, but about Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng standing beside him. Judging from his twenty years of gentlemanly vision in his previous life, based on the process tonight, Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng's younger brother might very likely show up today.
Anyway, there is no such thing as family planning in the Pokémon world. You can have as many children as you want. Chisato’s wealth is not so high that she cannot afford to support several children.
However, no matter how much Gongsun Yan criticized in his heart, it could not change the reality that he could only work hard.
Two hours later, Gongsun Yan and his team finally restored the greenhouse to its original state. Exhausted, they all returned to their rooms to rest.
Not all of them, as Ash was full of energy and ready to train all night, but Pikachu didn't follow Ash's consciousness at all, and took out a set of cute pajamas from somewhere, and also took out a small quilt and pillow, and spread them on the ground, indicating that he had rested and not to disturb him.
In the end, Xiaozhi could only go back to his room and sleep obediently. After all, no Pokémon was willing to train with him all night.
Gongsun Yan also returned to his room. He had been busy last night and only rested for a while this morning. However, that short period of time was not enough to replenish his physical fatigue, so he went straight back to his room to rest after cleaning up.
Another flash of white light passed by, and Gongsun Yan appeared in the game, right in the Chenghua Gym.
Gongsun Yan in the game is actually in a state similar to dreaming, so no matter what Gongsun Yan does in the game, his real body can recover his energy well and will not become depressed.
So Gongsun Yan simply challenged Qianli in the game. Qianli's Pokémon in the game are Lv29 Snorlax, Lv29 Chansey, Lv31 Baccarat, and Lv33 Absentee.
The combination of this Pokémon is the same as that of Chisato in reality, but the level is much lower than in reality. Chisato does have a Chansey, but that Chansey is not as gentle as Miss Joy's Chansey.
How to say it, anyway, the first time Gongsun Yan saw Chansey that could lift Snorlax, he didn’t know how Kari trained it, or was this Chansey just gifted?
However, this Jigglypuff didn't master the healing skills very well, perhaps that was the reason why it was subdued by Qianli.
