Gongsun Yan gave Gardevoir's Poké Ball to Xiaoyao just to protect her. He was afraid that the Armored Bird would drop Xiaoyao halfway.
Afterwards, Gongsun Yan and others chased in the direction where Xiaoyao was captured. Along the way, Gongsun Yan couldn't understand why a Pokémon like Armored Bird that likes to live on cliffs would hide in the grass in the forest. This is too much of a tribute to the game.
However, before Gongsun Yan could think too much, a barrier that seemed to be formed by wood escape appeared in front of everyone, and two people in mysterious clothes blocked everyone.
After everyone explained the situation, they said they would go find an elder to report first. Although everyone was worried about Xiaoyao, they could only follow the two to where their tribe lived to ask the elder.
As a result, the elder came out and said a lot of things, but the result he gave was that no one was allowed to enter.
Hey! Gongsun Yan's temper suddenly became uncontrollable. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to scold this group of old pedants, but he didn't expect Xiaozhi to stand up first.
"How long are you going to discuss this? If something happens during this time, will you be responsible?" Xiaozhi loudly scolded the group of people in front of him.
Being questioned face to face by a little kid like Xiaozhi, the group of people in front of them instantly lost face. A man who had never agreed to let anyone enter the forbidden area came out and also loudly rebuked Xiaozhi.
"We've said it before! That place behind is a forbidden place, no one is allowed to enter! It's already a headache for us if one person enters, and now you want to go in too, how can we agree to it!"
"So, those pedantic rules are more important than the safety of an innocent person, right?" Seeing that Xiaozhi didn't know how to refute him, Gongsun Yan immediately stepped forward. Although he was not from Zaun, he had experienced the trials and tribulations of his previous life, so he could still deal with those simple people in the Pokémon world.
"This..." Hearing this, the man hesitated visibly. Although they attached great importance to the rules left by their ancestors, they were also reasonable. A person's safety was undoubtedly very important.
"I think you are Pokémon trainers, too, so let's decide in the trainer's way!" Gongsun Yan saw that they were becoming hesitant, and he suddenly felt bored. The people in the Pokémon world were indeed too naive. They couldn't even argue, which made him lose a lot of fun. So he simply told them the plan he had in mind.
"You mean, Pokémon battles?" The old man walked out of the crowd, glanced at the people behind who wanted to step forward, and forced them all back.
"That's right, let's have a one-on-one fight. If we win, you let us in!" Gongsun Yan stated his conditions and put his hand on the Poké Ball at his waist. He was not trying to choose the Pokémon to fight, but if the other party disagreed, he would just start fighting and knock the opponent down before going in.
The old man shook his head slightly, and Gongsun Yan's heart sank, "Are we still going to take action?" Gongsun Yan thought so and took off the Poké Ball from his waist, only to hear the old man speak.
"No...if you win, only one person can go in..." Gongsun Yan was stunned when he heard this. He took back the Poké Ball that he was about to throw out, and stopped gesturing with his left hand behind his back. He wanted to listen to what the old man had to say.
"If you lose, let my people go in and find your friends." The old man's words were like a stone thrown into the calm water, causing waves.
"Elder, no!" Someone behind the old man couldn't help but speak up to persuade him. The man was about to say something, but was stunned by the old man's look and didn't dare to say anything more.
Gongsun Yan was also a little confused. Didn't he say he didn't agree to anything before? Now it changed so quickly. However, Gongsun Yan would not refute such a good thing, and he spoke quickly.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Chapter 133 Volt Attack!
"We have to make a change!" The old man turned around and said to the tribesmen behind him, "Zhenye, come and fight!"
"Yes!" A man who was at the back walked out silently. After taking off his hood, a very young face appeared.
"He is the most outstanding junior here. If you fail to win, he will go to find your partners." After saying this, the old man walked to the side and gave up the venue.
"Xiaozhi, go ahead." Gongsun Yan patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder, signaling him to go and meet the enemy.
"But..." Xiaozhi suddenly hesitated. The lineup he had now might not necessarily lead to victory.
"Pika!" Pikachu looked very confident.
"Xiaozhi, you have to believe in Pikachu!" Gongsun Yan said and walked to the side, watching the battle on the field with his arms folded across his chest.
After hearing these words, Xiaozhi regained his confidence. He rubbed Pikachu's head on his shoulder and walked to the opposite side of Shinya with great interest.
"Hello, I understand your anxiety, but I will never let you go easily." Shinya looked a little taciturn. He said in a flat tone and threw the Poké Ball in his hand.
A cunning Tengu appeared in the center of the venue. It was as calm as its master, without any of the evil taste of the cunning Tengu that Gongsun Yan had seen before. It was more like a taciturn warrior.
"Sly Tengu? I'm counting on you, Pikachu!" Xiaozhi also felt a little tricky after seeing the Sly Tengu, but he believed in Pikachu's strength.
"Cunning Tengu, launch a surprise attack." A calm voice came over. The moment the command was heard, Cunning Tengu disappeared, and the next moment he appeared behind Pikachu, preparing to kick it.
"Pikachu, get out of the way!" Xiaozhi also yelled, and Pikachu actually reacted at this moment, doing a backflip to avoid the kick from the cunning Tengu.
"Yo, Pikachu, one hundred thousand volts!" After seeing Pikachu successfully dodge, Xiaozhi let Pikachu pursue the victory. A thick bolt of lightning struck the cunning Tengu, causing it to groan in pain.
"Cunning Tengu, Sword Dance." Shinya didn't care about Pikachu's attack at all and used Sword Dance.
The cunning Tengu, bathed in lightning, turned on the spot, completely blocking Pikachu's 100,000 volts.
"Pikachu, Iron Tail!" Seeing that 100,000 Volts couldn't break through Sword Dance's protection, Ash let Pikachu try a close-range attack.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu chopped the spinning Tengu with its tail. Pikachu was knocked over by the kinetic energy, but Tengu's sword dance was forced to stop.
Gongsun Yan was also a little surprised. Xiaozhi was worthy of being Xiaozhi. He actually used such a messy method to break the Sword Dance. He could obviously let Pikachu use Thunder to attack.
The disadvantage of thunder is that it takes a long time to condense and is easy to dodge, but if the opponent stands still, it is basically like shooting at a target, and you never miss a shot.
However, Xiaozhi's move was also good. It prevented the Cunning Tengu from completing his sword dance. Although it had some bonus to physical attack, it was far from reaching its peak.
"Pikachu, lightning flashes!"
"Cunning Tengu, tying a grass knot."
Xiaozhi still commanded Pikachu to attack quickly as usual, and he really had no intention of competing with Pikachu in speed. Although the Cunning Tengu was also known for its speed, he obviously had a better way to deal with it.
Pikachu was seen running on the ground, but when he was about to get close to the cunning Tengu, a grass knot appeared under Pikachu's feet, and Pikachu, which was moving at high speed, was tripped directly.
Fortunately, Pikachu is not very heavy, otherwise he would have lost half his life if he was tripped. But he really didn't let Pikachu off like this. Pikachu fell in front of the cunning Tengu. It would be too much of a show if he didn't use a few moves.
"Sly Tengu, low kick!"
The cunning Tengu took two steps forward and kicked Pikachu hard, sending Pikachu flying.
"Pikachu!" When Xiaozhi saw Pikachu flying out, he also shouted loudly.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu in mid-air suddenly opened his eyes and used a 100,000-volt move to strike the cunning Tengu, who had not yet been able to retract his feet.
"Bang~bang~"
After Pikachu hit the ground, it used the rebound force to stabilize its body, and its four feet rubbed against the ground for a distance, dissipating all the force.
The cunning Tengu on the opposite side also half-knelt down with his body charred black, which showed that Pikachu's 100,000 volts was not easy to withstand.
"Damn it, Pikachu, rush over like a flash!" Xiaozhi saw that Pikachu's physical strength was almost gone, and was anxious for Pikachu to quickly end the battle.
"Cunning Tengu, make another Grass Knot!" Shinya was no longer calm and shouted at Cunning Tengu to stop Pikachu from approaching.
But this time, Pikachu's speed increased to a terrifying level. The growth rate of the grass knots on the ground could not catch up with Pikachu's running speed and was left far behind.
"Sly Tengu, Leaf Storm!" After realizing that he couldn't stop Pikachu's actions, Shinya asked Sly Tengu to use his strongest move to attack Pikachu.
"Pikachu, charge!" Xiaozhi also asked Pikachu to charge forward. Now Pikachu was like an arrow on a string that had to be shot. The strong inertia made it impossible for Pikachu to change direction.
"Pika~Pika~Pika!" Pikachu shouted and faced the flying leaf storm of the cunning Tengu head-on. Almost at the moment of contact, Pikachu's speed slowed down visibly, but Pikachu obviously refused to admit defeat.
At this moment, a strong electric current suddenly emerged from Pikachu's body, wrapping up Pikachu's entire body. Not only did Pikachu's speed return to its peak, but it was also constantly improving.
A golden line appeared in the center of the leaf storm, and at the top was the rapidly advancing Pikachu.
"boom!"
There was only a loud bang, and the cunning Tengu was actually knocked away by Pikachu and fell heavily to the ground. Golden arcs of electricity kept flashing on his body, and his eyes turned into circles, and he lost his ability to fight.
"Cunning Tengu has lost his ability to fight, and the winner of this match is Satoshi's Pikachu!" Although no referee was selected for this battle, Brock still announced the result of the match as soon as possible.
Gongsun Yan was also shocked by Pikachu's performance and sighed in his heart.
"Oh my goodness, Volt Attack! Pikachu is not pretending anymore..."
Chapter 134 Entering the Forest
Volt Attack, Pikachu's exclusive move, is an electric-type move second only to Zekrom's exclusive move Thunder Strike in power.
This extremely powerful move appeared on Pikachu, a typical cute creature, and has been criticized for a long time by many trainers specializing in electric elements.
They put a lot of effort into breeding Pikachu, only to find that Pikachu's personality is not suitable for fighting, and most Pikachus are afraid of pain. Can you believe it? Not to mention fighting, they can't even stick to daily training.
Some trainers have also thought about letting Pikachu learn the Volt Attack and then evolve into Raichu to make up for the difference in personality, but once Pikachu evolves into Raichu, it will directly lose the ability to use this move.
Although according to the researchers' research, those Raichu still master this move and can even pass it on to their offspring, due to the speed limit after evolution, the move has been completely sealed.
After a short period of popularity, Pikachu once again became a popular pet among children, and there were almost no people breeding it for battle purposes.
Many trainers’ Pikachus cannot even reach the elite level, and many breeders have bred Pikachus, but none of them has ever broken through the threshold of quasi-king.
However, the Pikachu in front of him will definitely break everyone's cognition. Although Gongsun Yan knows that Pikachu is very powerful and is just used to acting in daily life, based on Gongsun Yan's observation, Pikachu's level is definitely over level 60.
That’s right, Pikachu not only reached the King level, but even surpassed the highest-level Serpent in Gongsun Yan’s hands. You should know that the current Serpent is only level 59, and this is the result of Gongsun Yan’s cheating.
Shinya is worthy of being the most outstanding trainer here. That cunning Tengu also possesses the strength of a quasi-king level and has even reached the threshold of the king. This shows that this cunning Tengu has reached a bottleneck for a long time.
And judging from Zhenye's appearance, although he is older than Gongsun Yan and others, he is definitely under fifteen years old. To have such strength at this age, he is definitely a well-deserved child of destiny.
Shinya didn't feel any reluctance after losing to Xiaozhi. He just nodded at Xiaozhi and motioned him to follow him.
Xiaozhi quickly followed Shinya's footsteps and ran towards the wooden wall. Gongsun Yan also signaled Lucario to follow him. With the help of his wave power, they would be able to find the missing Xiaoyao faster.
Although the others found it hard to accept that Zhenye lost the game, they had no intention of stopping him. Although they were very conservative, they were not the kind of people who would go back on their words. Since they lost, they had to accept the defeat.
And Zhen was obviously the strongest among their group. Since he was defeated, there was no point in them resisting.
As for Lucario who passed by, they just glanced at him and didn't say much. They only restricted humans from entering the forbidden land, and they never cared about Pokémon or anything like that.
In fact, if Gongsun Yan and the others didn't want people to go in together and just let the Pokémon go to search, they wouldn't have hesitated for so long.
"Haha, I'm so sorry to bother you, old man. He is a very good friend of ours, so we were so excited." Seeing that Xiaozhi had already rushed over, Gongsun Yan relaxed and walked up to the old man and said sorry.
After all, respecting the elderly and loving the young is a virtue. Since there is no conflict, Gongsun Yan should still retain some respect for the other party. Moreover, judging from the previous situation, this old man is vaguely on their side, and even the rules he set are obviously biased towards their side. It is reasonable for Gongsun Yan to express his gratitude.
"Well, I know that too. Young man, are you interested in listening to the story of this forest?" The old man nodded, indicating that he agreed with what Gongsun Yan said, and expressed his desire to tell Gongsun Yan a story.
"If you have anything to say, I will listen attentively." Gongsun Yan also appropriately revealed a hint of interest.
"This story begins a long, long time ago..." The old man started with a standard story introduction. It sounded like he was going to give a long speech, and Gongsun Yan suddenly felt that he had spoken too early.
The story is actually very simple. In the past, people wanted to capture Grass-type Pokémon, so they wantonly captured and destroyed them in the forest. The Grass-type Pokémon were extremely angry because of the tragic fate of their homes and companions.
The angry grass-type Pokémon began to indiscriminately attack humans who entered the forest, regardless of whether the other party was a trainer or what their purpose in entering the forest was.
The humans who were attacked also sought other powerful Pokémon trainers to solve the problem, but it eventually evolved into an all-out war between humans and Grass-type Pokémon.
Although humans won in the end, they also suffered heavy losses. Many trainers' Grass-type Pokémon no longer obeyed orders, and those Pokémon scattered in the forest continued to attack humans.
After learning from their mistakes, people built a gate here, calling the place where those grass-type Pokémon gathered a forbidden land, and prohibiting humans from entering.
Their tribe is stationed here to protect this rule. In addition, due to the influence of the special magnetic field, tools such as compasses are completely useless. It is almost impossible for people who accidentally enter the forbidden area to leave.
After the old man told Gongsun Yan this story, everyone walked to an open wooden wall. Gongsun Yan's face was frozen from smiling. It was too uncomfortable to keep smiling.
In short, the reason why this old man brought everyone here was that he had thought it through and was ready to let everyone go in together to look for Xiaoyao's trace. One more person means more strength.
Gongsun Yan was also very excited when he heard this (finally he could change his expression). Although he felt that Xiaozhi should have found Xiaoyao and their past work was purely in vain, Gongsun Yan also felt very happy to be able to enter a place that no one had been able to enter for many years.
Isn't this kind of plot often found in novels? The protagonist has many adventures in some ruins that haven't been opened for thousands of years, and when he comes out, he kills anyone who stands in his way, even Buddhas.
Gongsun Yan believed that his RP value was definitely not low. Even if he couldn't get anything particularly rare, two items of the miracle seed level would be acceptable.
Well, Gongsun Yan also knew that he was dreaming. The most outstanding treasure in this forest was probably the little Bulbasaur, which was probably abducted by Xiaoyao.
Chapter 135: King-level Bulbasaur
Just as Gongsun Yan and others were moving forward with a rope, there was a sudden commotion ahead. Many Grass-type Pokémon fled in their direction, and everyone had to run to the side of the road to hide.
"Something must have happened up ahead. I'll go first and you guys follow me later." Gongsun Yan yelled and ran away, with Lucario following closely behind him.
When Gongsun Yan saw Xiaozhi and the others, a Bulbasaur was wrestling with Team Rocket's robot. Team Rocket reversed its engine, and Bulbasaur, who had lost its strength for a moment, was knocked to the ground. A robotic arm reached out to grab the Bulbasaur at Xiaoyao's feet.
"Lucario, wave missile!" Seeing Xiaoyao pounce on the captured Bulbasaur, Gongsun Yan quickly asked Lucario to use wave missile to attack the mechanical arm.
"Lu!" Lucario hit the mechanical arm with a wave missile, but failed to break it. However, it made the mechanical arm let go of Bulbasaur and Haruka in its hands.
"Xiaoyao!" When Xiaozhi saw Xiaoyao falling from the sky, he rushed over and caught Xiaoyao in the air. Even Bulbasaur's vine whip couldn't catch up with Xiaozhi, so it could only catch Xiaozhi who was holding Xiaoyao.
"Ash, take good care of Xiaoyao! Lucario, fire another wave of missiles!" Gongsun Yan saw that Ash was fine, so he quickly asked Lucario to continue attacking the robot driven by Team Rocket.
Lucario condensed another wave missile and smashed it on the glass in front of the three members of Team Rocket. After a puff of smoke dissipated, the glass was found to be completely undamaged and as smooth as new.
"Oh my god, it's so hard? What material is it made of? Dragonite, help Lucario and hit the robot's head with your dragon claws! Lucario, use your Bone Strike to attack those two mechanical arms!"
Gongsun Yan didn't expect that the robot made by Team Rocket this time was so tough that even the wave missiles couldn't break through its defense. He quickly asked Dragonite to attack together, and by the way, he quietly threw two Poké Balls behind him and used his body to block the white light exploding from the Poké Balls.
The Tyrannosaurus spread its wings and flew to the head of the robot. Its claws condensed green dragon energy visible to the naked eye. The condensed claws were also very huge, and they slammed the robot's head hard.
Team Rocket would not stand there and take a beating, so the two mechanical arms reached out to grab the Dragonite in the air.
Lucario jumped up from the ground like a bolt of dry grass, stepped on the robot's body to gain leverage, and knocked the robot's arm away with two swishes. As he fell from the air, he also fired a wave missile at the robot's head.
"Hahaha, you don't really think you can make us fall like this!" Meowth's voice came from the loudspeaker. Just as he said, although Dragonite and Lucario worked together closely, they still couldn't make Team Rocket fall to the ground.
