Gongsun Yan was very careful to comfort the petrified celebrity. Although he wanted to buy or exchange the Master Ball from the other party, he felt that it would be inhumane to negotiate with the other party right now, so Gongsun Yan chose to comfort the other party first.
"That's right! It just so happens that I haven't really caught him yet. Whether I can subdue him or not is not the question for now, but at least I have to catch him!"
Mingren is obviously an open-minded person. In the original work, even though the Master Ball that he spent fifty years to find was swallowed by Azhu, he did not feel lost for too long. Although he felt very sad that he could not subdue Azhu, the battle of wits and courage with Azhu in the past fifty years also successfully made Azhu integrate into his life, and he also wanted to continue to compete with Azhu in wits and courage in the future.
"Ahem, um, Mr. Suzumura, the famous one! May I ask what is the price for the Master Ball in your hand? I have been dreaming of the Master Ball for a long time, and it is not easy to see the real thing in your hand."
Gongsun Yan finally couldn't help but ask the celebrity about the price of the Master Ball. You know, the celebrity never took the Master Ball back, and Gongsun Yan had been trying hard not to stare at the Master Ball.
"Oh? Do you want this Master Ball? That's right, this Master Ball should be what all of you trainers are pursuing."
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, the celebrity looked at Gongsun Yan in surprise, and then he suddenly realized. Although he had been by this lake for fifty years, he also knew the value of the Master Ball.
"Yes, I really want it, please give it up!" Gongsun Yan also made a transaction request to the other party again with a serious face.
Chapter 145 Swampert VS Azhu
The celebrity took a look at the Master Ball in his hand, threw it directly to Gongsun Yan, and said very open-mindedly.
"Boy, since you're a nice guy, I'll give you this thing! Anyway, I don't have any use for it now!"
Gongsun Yan hurriedly caught the Master Ball that was thrown to him and looked at it at a loss. Xiaozhi and the others beside him were also surprised, wondering how could such a valuable thing be given to others so casually.
"This, this, this, how can this be possible! I dare not accept this."
Even if Gongsun Yan was brave enough, he would not dare to accept this precious Master Ball casually. You have to know that the Master Ball has been discontinued long ago, and the existing Master Balls are definitely becoming less and less.
Besides, one should not accept gifts without merit, and he just accepted this Master Ball. His remaining conscience could not bear it!
“Hahaha, kid, if you want to give me something so badly, then help me teach the Lord a lesson. Since I can’t defeat him, then come and help me!”
When the celebrity saw that Gongsun Yan refused to accept the Master Ball, he changed his mind and pointed at Azhu who was about to go back to the lake to sleep, and asked Gongsun Yan to go over and fight him.
"Master, I also wanted to have a battle with Azhu, and I can't bear to accept the Master Ball like this, so I will buy all the fishing rods you have made over the years!"
Gongsun Yan did not intend to take advantage of the other party, so he simply bought all of the other party's fishing rods over the years, which could be considered as some financial compensation to the other party.
Although the total price of these fishing rods is definitely higher than that of a Master Ball, Master Balls are absolutely out of stock. Even if you offer a high price, you cannot buy them. No one will sell Master Balls on the market.
Seeing this, the celebrity had no choice but to agree to Gongsun Yan's conditions, which made Gongsun Yan feel at ease. As for the problem that he no longer had so much money, he believed that Gongsun Che would be happy to pay for this Master Ball.
After all, Devin Company and Silver Company are absolute competitors, and Silver Company's top-secret Master Ball is rarely in their hands. It is completely possible to purchase it with the company's funds, as long as they are allowed to study it for a period of time.
Seeing that the celebrity agreed to his request, Gongsun Yan turned to look at Azhu, took out Swampert's Poké Ball and prepared to fight with the opponent.
"Master! Let me and Swampert challenge you!"
"ga~"
With a flash of white light, Swampert appeared in front of Gongsun Yan. His originally lazy eyes became full of fighting spirit, as if he really wanted to have a hearty battle with the opponent.
"nian~"
Seeing that Swampert had challenged him, Ah Zhu, who had been very relaxed, became serious. This was different from his previous battles with the Forest Lizard and the Fluffy Sheep, where he had a playful attitude in those two battles because he couldn't be subdued anyway.
But Swampert is a Pokémon that lives in water like him, and even has the same attributes. Swampert's challenge is equivalent to challenging his position as the dominant Pokémon, so he had to take it seriously.
"Swampert, let's start with an earthquake!"
Swampert raised his right foot and slammed it hard on the ground. A series of earthquake waves attacked Azhu on the ground.
Azhu did not sit there and wait for death. He jumped high, fell to the ground, and also used earthquake.
Countless earthquake waves constantly collided and offset each other between the two Pokémon, and cracks appeared at the places of collision, which shows how powerful the force is.
"Swamp Thing, use Surf!"
Seeing that the earthquake had no effect at all, Gongsun Yan simply ordered Swampert to use Surf to attack on a large scale.
Suddenly, a large amount of water emerged under Swampert's feet. Because it was right next to the lake, the condensed water was enough to completely hide Swampert when the huge waves surged. Even the trainer Gongsun Yan could hardly find Swampert.
Ah Zhu had no intention of dodging and rushed directly into the huge waves without feeling any harm at all.
Waves continued to appear on the ground, but there was no sign of the two Pokémon. Gongsun Yan became a little anxious and stared at the water with an anxious face.
Soon all the water on the field drained away. After losing control of the Pokémon, the water continued to flow around, revealing two scarred Pokémon.
"What?! It's normal for the Lord to be injured, but Swampert shouldn't be found!"
After seeing the situation on the field, Gongsun Yan was somewhat confused as to why Azhu could accurately find the position of Swampert in the huge waves and catch it off guard.
The reason why Gongsun Yan could see it was mainly because the injury on Azhu's body was in the shape of a fist, and there was frostbite on it. It was obvious that it was caused by the Ice Fist used by Swampert.
But this injury appeared on Azhu's side, while Swampert's injury appeared on his head. The shape of it was obviously caused by Azhu's tail, most likely the Water Tail!
"Xiao Yan! That's the water swimming move of the catfish king, which allows it to move freely in any water!" Xiao Gang on the sidelines also passed the information to Gongsun Yan.
"What? Catfish King also knows this move?" Gongsun Yan was confused after hearing this move. He thought he knew all Pokémon moves, but why had he never heard of the move Water Swim?
Gongsun Yan thought about it and felt that it was normal. After all, he had never trained a Pokémon like Kingfisher. The move Water Swim was probably not a useful move in the game, and it probably had never appeared in the anime.
"Swampert, hot water!" After thinking about this, Gongsun Yan asked Swampert to use the extremely high temperature hot water move. He didn't believe that Azhu could get close to Swampert with the boiling hot water.
A stream of steaming water gushed out from the mouth of the giant swamp monster and shot towards Azhu.
Ah Zhu was going to try the same trick again, but he was scalded by the boiling hot water and screamed like a catfish that had just been put into a frying pan.
"Swampert, use the blizzard to cool down the master!"
Gongsun Yan almost laughed out loud when he saw Ah Zhu being hit by hot water. Is there really such a silly Pokémon? He quickly and "kindly" asked Swampert to use blizzard to cool Ah Zhu down.
A huge blizzard spewed out from Swampert's mouth and hit Azhu hard as he was twisting on the ground. It actually encountered the extremely low freezing probability and froze Azhu in the ice.
Chapter 146: Swampert, King Level!
"Swampert, give him the last move, Earthquake!"
After seeing Azhu trapped in the ice, Gongsun Yan let Swampert give him the final blow to end the battle.
Swampert also used Earthquake again, and waves of earthquakes hit the ice that trapped Azhu.
"Crack!" I saw a lot of cracks appearing on the huge piece of ice, and finally it exploded directly!
"Swampert, you're awesome... wait, Swampert, be careful!" Gongsun Yan originally thought that the battle was over, and even felt a little regretful, because Azhu's strength did not seem like that of a dominant Pokémon. He had originally planned to let Swampert break through the bottleneck of the King in this battle.
Just when Gongsun Yan was praising Swampert, he suddenly saw that after the ice exploded, what appeared was not Azhu's huge body, but a tattered doll. That shape was definitely what was needed for the stand technique.
"nian!"
Before Swampert could react, mud bombs hit him one after another, severely injuring him and burying him in the mud.
"What? When did he dodge it?" Gongsun Yan looked at Azhu on the rock wall at a loss, wondering when he used the substitute technique.
"Wait, this scar, did you use a Stand before the surfing was over?!" Gongsun Yan took a closer look and found that except for the scars from the freezing fist that Swampert hit on Azhu's body, there was no sign of burns from hot water. He immediately realized that he had already dodged it.
"nian~"
Azhu looked at Gongsun Yan with sarcasm, used the substitute technique on the spot, and then used the shadow clone technique. Suddenly, the appearance of the catfish king appeared outside the substitute doll that was originally on the ground. After the appearance was fully seen, a lifelike Azhu appeared in front of everyone.
"What!" XN, everyone exclaimed in surprise, they never thought that the substitute and shadow clone moves could be used in combination, and they could move freely. Except for the inability to use moves, there was no difference from the original Azhu.
"Damn it, is this the strength accumulated over a hundred years?" Gongsun Yan couldn't help biting the nail of his right thumb. This was a little habit he had from his previous life. He always couldn't help biting his nail when he was thinking.
And he hadn't bitten his nails since his rebirth, but today he undoubtedly broke the rule. He couldn't imagine that a wild Pokémon without a trainer could learn such a difficult skill.
"Ga!"
When everyone's attention was focused on Azhu, the ignored Swampert exploded!
I saw the curse light constantly appearing on his body, and the energy flow in his body was constantly slowing down, which meant that his attack speed was getting slower and slower, but on the contrary, his strength was constantly increasing, and the hardness of his skin surface was also constantly increasing.
Originally, Swampert's limit for using the curse was three times, which also meant that his body could only withstand three strengthenings at most. However, under his extreme anger, the barrier that originally blocked his way was shattered like a dead tree or rotten wood.
The fourth time, the fifth time, at this time, Swampert had used the curse five times! Huge power gathered on Swampert, and Swampert, who could originally control his body perfectly, could no longer perfectly control the power in his body.
Every time Swampert takes a step forward, it will step into a deep pit on the ground, but as Swampert continues to move forward, the depth of the pit is constantly decreasing, which shows that Swampert is constantly getting familiar with his current body.
"Swampert, you've made a breakthrough?!" Gongsun Yan shouted in surprise when he saw Swampert's momentum change drastically. He had seen this situation in Cobra before. It was also after that that Qianli explained to him what the King level was.
Of course, Qianli was almost shocked by the monarch snake at that time. With his keen eyesight, he could see that the monarch snake had been hatched from the egg for no more than half a year, and it had already reached the strength of a king.
Feeling disheartened, Qianli almost wanted to close the dojo, retire and go traveling with his family, giving up on being a potential king.
However, after communicating with Gongsun Che, or rather, after being persuaded by Gongsun Che, Qianli gave up this tempting idea.
Of course, it is hard to say whether Gongsun Che is doing this for Qianli's own good or just wants to find a laborer for his son. After all, he believes that his son is definitely qualified to be the champion, and it is also important for him to have a good relationship with the Four Heavenly Kings.
The scene turns back to Swampert. After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Swampert nodded calmly. However, Gongsun Yan, who was familiar with Swampert, saw that it was forcibly suppressing its own pain. It can be seen that the five curses cannot be activated at will alone.
"Swampert, use Arm Hammer to finish off the opponent!" Gongsun Yan decisively chose to finish off Azhu as quickly as possible, and Swampert could not hold on for much longer.
"ga!" Swampert squatted down slightly, exerted force with his feet, and rushed straight towards Azhu on the rock wall like an arrow.
"nian~" When Azhu saw Swampert rushing towards him, he originally planned to dodge, but he found that Swampert's speed was too fast. He had no time to dodge, nor did he have time to use any moves to intercept the opponent. He could only hide behind his shadow stand and use it to avoid Swampert's attack.
Swampert raised his right arm with all his strength and smashed it down hard at Azhu's shadow substitute. Like a meteorite hitting the earth, it destroyed the fake Azhu in front of it with ease and hit Azhu on the head who had no time to dodge.
"Boom!" The rock wall under Azhu collapsed. This piece of rock wall could not even withstand the force transmitted through Azhu's huge body. It can be seen how strong the giant Swampert is at this time.
As the rock wall collapsed, a huge cloud of smoke rose into the sky, completely blocking everyone's view. Gongsun Yan looked at the smoke in front of him with an anxious look on his face, which showed no sign of dissipating, and worried whether Swampert's body could hold on.
"Nian!" A scream suddenly came from the thick fog. It was Azhu's voice. A huge figure shot out from the thick fog and slammed heavily on the ground beside him.
Azhu appeared in front of everyone and tried desperately to straighten his body, but in the end he failed and lost his ability to fight.
"Ga!" A dull sound was heard, and the giant Swampert, whose body was covered with scars, walked out of the thick fog with difficulty and steadily.
Chapter 147 Time Machine
"ga~" After seeing Azhu fall down, Swampert visibly relaxed. However, after relaxing, he could not hold on any longer. The injuries on his body were so severe that it was truly shocking.
Swampert turned around with difficulty and stretched out his right hand towards Gongsun Yan. Just as he gave a thumbs up, he fell to the ground due to exhaustion. Gongsun Yan hurriedly ran to Swampert and tried to support him, but was simply dragged to the ground with him.
"Swampert, you did a great job. Come, eat this and then take a rest!"
Gongsun Yan crawled out from under the body of Swampert with difficulty, ran to his backpack, and took out a box from it, in which there were several resurrection grasses.
These resurrection grass were exactly what he brought out from the game. Otherwise, it would not be easy to find resurrection grass in reality, not to mention how expensive it would be. After all, rare things are valuable.
Gongsun Yan carefully took out a resurrection grass, put the lid on it, and then took out a mortar. He put the resurrection grass in it, crushed it, mixed it with an energy cube, and fed it to Swampert.
Swampert also opened his mouth with difficulty and swallowed the food at the corner of his mouth. Then he fell asleep completely, and the scars on his body surface were constantly recovering.
Gongsun Yan also put Swampert back into the Poké Ball and let him have a good rest. Then he turned around and looked at the Pokémon who had woken up at some point and didn't look like he had lost his fighting ability at all.
"Hiss, are all the dominant Pokémon so scary?" Gongsun Yan couldn't help but grin. He didn't expect that Swampert had to fight so hard to defeat the opponent, and it recovered in the blink of an eye.
"Well, he used the sleeping technique." Xiaogang explained why Azhu was able to recover so quickly.
But even though he knew the reason, Xiao Gang was still very surprised. After all, he saw that Azhu had only slept for less than two minutes, but he had almost recovered his strength. This kind of strength was definitely not something that an ordinary king-level person could possess.
At this time, Xiaogang suddenly developed a great interest in the overlord Pokémon, which planted the seeds for his later trip to the Alola region.
"Forget it, thank you. If you hadn't held back, Swampert wouldn't have been so easy to break through. This can of energy cube is for you."
Gongsun Yan thanked Azhu solemnly and poured all the energy cubes he had just taken out into Azhu's mouth.
"nian?" Azhu looked at Gongsun Yan in front of him with curiosity. He didn't understand what the other party was saying, but the thing the other party poured into his mouth was edible. He had seen Swampert eat it before.
In addition, the energy cubes made by Gongsun Yan tasted very tempting. After Gongsun Yan had poured all the energy cubes, Azhu chewed them carefully to savor the flavor.
As he chewed, Azhu's eyes suddenly lit up. The taste of the food was beyond his expectation. After swallowing it, he clearly felt a gentle water energy emerging in his body.
For the first time in his life, Azhu felt regretful for being a dominant Pokémon. If he was not a dominant Pokémon, he would definitely stick to the other party and only ask for a meal of the same standard every two days.
If Gongsun Yan knew what Azhu was thinking, he would also feel regretful. After all, it was too much of a bargain to be able to attract a king-level Pokémon with just a few energy blocks he made himself.
However, Azhu just looked at Gongsun Yan with regret, turned back to the lake, and disappeared with a wag of his tail.
After seeing Azhu off, Gongsun Yan was also preparing to say goodbye to the celebrity. Although his Swampert had been treated with Resurrection Grass, it would be more appropriate to let Miss Joy check for any hidden injuries.
Of course, before leaving, the celebrity took Gongsun Yan to have a look at the fishing rods he had made over the years. The fishing rods that filled the entire wooden house almost made Gongsun Yan's jaw drop.
Although he guessed that there would be a lot of fishing rods, he didn't expect that there would be so many. But this was not something he had to worry about. He had already sent a message to his father using the navigator and told him all the details of the transaction.
Before Gongsun Yan could figure out how to fool his father, the other party answered with one word, "Buy"!
Yes, it’s so domineering. No matter what the conditions are, as long as it is really a Master Ball, I will buy it directly.
Then Gongsun Yan casually left his father's phone number and the address of Dewen's company headquarters and continued on his way with Xiaozhi and the others.
Watching the backs of the crowd disappear on the horizon, Mingren couldn't help but chuckle, took out a Pokémon Navigator from his sleeve, saved the number and address Gongsun Yan gave him, and found that the number was in his address book.
