Chapter 161 Criminal Declaration
"Okay, don't feel so guilty. It's my fault for not thinking it through. It's not your fault." The moment Gongsun Yan resonated with Lucario's waveguide, an endless sense of guilt enveloped Gongsun Yan's heart, and he almost completely forgot what he had originally prepared. However, he immediately calmed down and began to comfort Lucario.
"Lu~ (No, it's my fault.)" No matter what Gongsun Yan said, Lucario always said the same thing, which gave Gongsun Yan a headache.
In the end, Gongsun Yan had to work very hard to get Lucario to stop complaining about himself. Although Lucario became a little taciturn, Gongsun Yan had no choice but to wait for an opportunity to persuade Lucario later.
After disconnecting the waveguide between him and Lucario, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but hold his forehead when he saw the other three Pokémon. He felt like he would have to comfort them for a long time.
However, the result was quite unexpected. Swampert just nodded silently at Gongsun Yan, and then dived into the diving ball that Gongsun Yan had just taken out, leaving Gongsun Yan a little confused.
However, it is a good thing that there is no need to comfort Swampert. Gongsun Yan can feel that Swampert is not pretending, but really does not need comfort.
The same went for the remaining Gardevoir and Dragonite, who did not need Gongsun Yan's comfort at all. However, they did not enter the Poké Ball, but stayed outside to protect Gongsun Yan's safety.
Seeing this, Gongsun Yan let them go. After all, they had promised Gongsun Yan that he could put them into the Poké Ball at any time.
Afterwards, Gongsun Yan walked towards the Rocket Team who were lying on the ground and unable to get up. Thanks to Gardevoir's continuous treatment, his body finally no longer felt the pain of his muscles being pulled every time he took a step.
How can I describe that kind of pain? It's like putting a wooden splinter in your toenail, walking to the corner and kicking the wall hard. That's probably the pain I feel.
After seeing Gongsun Yan calm down his Pokémon, Xiaozhi and the others finally stepped forward. They had tried to stop him before, but Garchomp's completely bloodshot eyes and the murderous aura emanating from Lucario's every move made them dare not step forward.
Not to mention that they had no way to attack Gongsun Yan's Pokémon, the Pokémon they had now were simply unable to stop Gongsun Yan's Pokémon. It was estimated that only the Forlitos on Xiaogang's body using the Big Explosion could stop Lucario and the others.
However, Forettos can only defeat one Pokémon. After Forettos loses its combat ability, it is hard to say whether Swampert and the others will attack Brock and the others together. After all, they are not very familiar with each other.
"Hey, isn't this the ruthless and taciturn Team Rocket? How come you look so miserable after just a few minutes?" Gongsun Yan squatted in front of Team Rocket and started to mock them directly.
"Little brat number two, we are just trying to steal a ribbon, why are you targeting us like this?" Meow Meow struggled to support his body and told Gongsun Yan their biggest doubts.
"Oh? It's just about snatching a ribbon? Where do you put other people's efforts?" Gongsun Yan pointed at Xiaoyao and Miss Yuezi behind him and shouted.
"How can you not be despised by others for trampling on their hard work and trying to gain something for nothing?"
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Musashi propped himself up and made a very ferocious expression. He was about to refute what Gongsun Yan said, but was interrupted by Gongsun Yan with a wave of his hand.
"Don't talk, just listen to me! Originally, you just wanted to snatch the ribbons, but you can't use them anyway. All the ribbons and badges are registered with the League. The losers can get new ribbons and badges by registering at any Pokémon Center, and the original ribbons and badges will lose their original effectiveness."
Gongsun Yan took a breath when he said this. Talking so much in one breath caused his brain to be a little oxygen deprived. As a result, he saw Musashi in front of him was stunned on the spot, and was shocked by what Gongsun Yan said.
Gongsun Yan's left eye twitched when he saw this, and he couldn't say what he had prepared. He couldn't help but ask, "You don't know about this, do you?"
Seeing Musashi nod in front of him, Gongsun Yan suddenly felt a headache. So the Rocket Team in the real world is just as funny as the anime? Don't they know such a simple rule?
As a result, Gongsun Yan turned around and saw that everyone behind him except Xiaogang was nodding, indicating that they didn't know about this either. This made Gongsun Yan at a loss for words. For him, who has to read all the user rules before playing a game, aren't these basic rules?
Gongsun Yan was stunned for a moment, and he suppressed his urge to complain and said what he wanted to say.
"Those are fine, but you actually allowed the Pokémon to use attacking moves on a child. Aren't you afraid that it would leave the child with lifelong sequelae? Aren't you afraid of ruining her life?" Gongsun Yan roared.
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Xiaozhi and the others' expressions became very serious. When they were traveling, they had heard of many children being injured or even killed due to provoking wild Pokémon. They could only express regret for this, but being maliciously injured by other people's Pokémon was something they absolutely could not tolerate.
Miss Yuezi also hugged her daughter tightly. She really thought she was going to lose her precious daughter. At that moment, she even thought about asking Team Rocket to pay with their lives. Fortunately, Gongsun Yan saved her daughter, which made her extremely grateful to Gongsun Yan.
As a result, Gongsun Yan seemed to be so excited that he spoke without thinking and actually said what was on his mind.
"Don't you guys know that cute girls are the treasures of the world? We loli lovers are naturally the knights who protect the treasures! Anyone who wants to hurt a loli must step over me first."
Gongsun Yan felt something was wrong after he said this. The way people around him looked at him suddenly changed, and Miss Yuezi's hands around her daughter became tighter.
"Sha~ (Trainer, this isn't okay. You can't attack others.)" Gardevoir also shook its head at Gongsun Yan, wanting to use telepathy to stop its trainer's criminal behavior.
Chapter 162 Social Death
After Gongsun Yan said this, he secretly cried out in despair. How could he have told the truth? If he couldn't make up for it, his identity as a human being would be completely destroyed in society.
"Hey, hey, what are you thinking about? Why do you all have such weird expressions?" Gongsun Yan pretended to know nothing and looked at the group of people in front of him who were changing their expressions, seeming to be very curious about what they were thinking.
"Yes, Mom, what are you talking about? And I feel a little uncomfortable when you hold me like that." Xingjia also asked the question in Yuezi's arms.
Originally, no one really believed what Gongsun Yan said, but Xingjia undoubtedly made a good assist. Looking at the innocent and ignorant expressions on the two people's faces, everyone who had wrong thoughts quickly changed the subject. Yuezi also reprimanded the Rockets for their actions.
Gongsun Yan breathed a sigh of relief after finally fooling people, but when he leaned over, he saw Xingjia in Miss Yuezi's arms winking at him and making a "loli control" mouth shape.
This made Gongsun Yan blush with shame. It turned out that there was no one in the scene who didn't understand. Even the little girl who should not understand actually understood it. This made Gongsun Yan feel very worried about the education of children nowadays!
Gongsun Yan stopped questioning Team Rocket because he was shy, and was replaced by Yuezi and Xiaoyao. However, their quarreling skills were obviously not as good as Gongsun Yan's, and they were even worse than Musashi. Even after Gongsun Yan took the initiative, they could only quarrel with him at the same level.
Listening to the three girls quarreling nearby, Gongsun Yan finally understood what three women's drama meant. The sound was like the quarrel of toads in a pit, and Gongsun Yan, who was teased by Xingjia, could not help but interrupt their quarrel.
"Ahem, Musashi, what's your mother's surname?" Gongsun Yan opened his mouth as if he were Old Monk Tang Seng. He didn't want to use such a highly lethal move, but his head was buzzing because of their noise.
Sure enough, after hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Musashi was so angry that he couldn't speak. Seeing this, Gongsun Yan waved his hand in boredom, indicating that Miss Yuezi should decide for herself how to deal with Team Rocket.
It's not that Gongsun Yan didn't want to send Team Rocket to Miss Junsha again, but the main reason was that the prison couldn't hold the three of them. Before, Gongsun Yan sent Team Rocket to Miss Junsha during the day, but they escaped at night, and they all chose to dig a tunnel to escape from the police station.
Gongsun Yan also received an apology call from Miss Junsha during the day, saying that their improper management led to the escape of the prisoners.
Gongsun Yan even went to the police station to take a look. This one look made him realize that Team Rocket could not hold them captive at all. After all, they dug through the entire underground of the police station in just one day. This amount of work was too much for three ground-type Pokémon that were good at digging to accomplish!
This is not the point. The point is that even though they dug through the underground of the police station, the police station on the ground did not feel anything at all, not even the slightest tilt. Even though the foundation was dug through, it was still able to maintain a delicate balance.
Now the police station in that town has not figured out how to repair it. After all, the entire underground is full of holes, but if you are not careful, the entire police station may sink into the ground. This situation has never happened before, and the designers are almost exhausted.
This made Gongsun Yan not want to send Team Rocket to the police station. After all, it would be too cruel for the police station without any idea of how to restrict them.
In the end, Team Rocket's ending was the same as in the original story, and they were sent into the sky by Miss Yuezi's Kodara's Water Wave.
The damage of Water Wave also amazed Gongsun Yan. After all, Kodara is a Pokémon that is restrained by water. It is very rare for it to learn water-type moves, and it is unexpected that it can have such a high level of proficiency.
However, this combination of moves also caused Gongsun Yan to criticize it. He actually taught Kotra, a Pokémon that was obviously a physical attack Pokémon, to learn special attack moves. It turned out that the coordinating trainers did not pay much attention to the strength of the Pokémon.
After solving the unstable factor of Team Rocket, Xingjia also had a loving conversation with Yuezi. They also thanked Gongsun Yan who tried his best to save Xingjia.
Gongsun Yan was also very pleased with this. If Yuezi hadn't taken Xingjia away from Gongsun Yan, Gongsun Yan might have been even more pleased.
In the end, Gongsun Yan was unable to dispel Yuezi's prejudice against him. Because he cared too much, Xiaozhi and the others even doubted whether Gongsun Yan's purpose was pure or not. As a result, Gongsun Yan had no choice but to give up proving his innocence. Anyway, since he was not really socially dead, he didn't care about these things.
Yuezi was planning to take Gongsun Yan to the hospital to check out his injuries, but Gongsun Yan knew that Xiaoyao and Yuezi had to prepare for tomorrow's gorgeous competition, so he just let them go to practice.
Xiaozhi and the others took him to the hospital to check his injuries. Xingjia, who was standing nearby, also decided to accompany Gongsun Yan to the hospital for a check-up. Yuezi, who was worried, gave Xingjia some special instructions.
This scene should have been very heartwarming, but Gongsun Yan always felt that Yuezi was reminding Xingjia to be careful of himself, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
He almost wanted to say, "He is ten years old this year. Isn't it normal for him to like someone who is one or two years younger than him?" However, he felt that after he said this, he would never be able to get rid of the nickname "Goldfish Man".
In particular, after Xingjia listened to Yuezi's teachings with a serious face, he walked to Gongsun Yan and made a face at him.
Gongsun Yan almost wanted to make a face back, but his hands were grabbed by Xiaozhi and Xiaogang. With his current physical condition, Gongsun Yan couldn't even struggle. He suspected that the two people around him were completely incarnations of Pokémon.
In short, Gongsun Yan was half-supported and half-carried to the hospital by Xiaozhi and Xiaogang. After a series of examinations, the doctor gave Gongsun Yan the final verdict.
"This young man is in such good health. If you hadn't arrived in time, he would have recovered on his own."
The doctor originally thought that everyone was here to cause trouble. If Xiaozhi hadn't kept emphasizing how miserable Gongsun Yan was just now and that Gongsun Yan still had many injuries that had not yet healed, the doctor would have reluctantly kept Gongsun Yan as a patient.
In the end, Gongsun Yan was wrapped like a mummy and placed in a private ward. In the doctor's words, "You have already paid so much money, and you won't be able to spend it all if you don't stay in such a good ward."
Gongsun Yan had no choice but to stay in the hospital room overnight. He couldn't even go to watch Xiaoyao's gorgeous competition the next day.
Chapter 163: Xiao Shun's Fourth Ribbon
The next day, the gorgeous competition in Changshou Town was held grandly. However, Gongsun Yan was asked by Xiaozhi and others not to leave the hospital and to cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
Gongsun Yan and the doctor both cursed in their hearts when they heard this. Because Gongsun Yan had entered the game at night, the wounds on his body were completely healed after entering the game. After all, in the Pokémon game, no protagonist would be seriously injured.
The doctor knew how abnormal Gongsun Yan's physique was, and that minor injury was no big deal for him. However, the patient's "family" had requested so, so he had no choice but to do as they asked and not let Gongsun Yan leave the hospital.
Fortunately, Gongsun Yan did not make things difficult for the doctor and had no intention of escaping. The doctor also relaxed some of the requirements and allowed Gongsun Yan to release his Pokémon in the ward.
The final result was that Gongsun Yan was leaning in the hospital ward with a bored look on his face, his Pokémon were surrounding his bed, watching the gorgeous competition broadcast on TV together.
"Ah~, it's really boring if I can't watch it live!" Gongsun Yan looked at the monotonous and gorgeous performances of the coordination trainers on TV. He didn't feel excited at all and even yawned.
"Hey, at least I'm still here with you. Besides, I think those people's performance is pretty good!" A crisp voice came from Gongsun Yan's side.
"Oh, thank you so much, you can go and see it in person." Gongsun Yan said expressionlessly.
"If you hadn't been injured while saving me, I wouldn't bother to stay here with you." That's right, the person who was accompanying Gongsun Yan in the ward was Xing Jia.
Gongsun Yan couldn't understand it. Miss Yuezi was clearly guarding against him as if he were a thief yesterday, but today she agreed to let her daughter take care of him alone in the ward.
Afterwards, Gongsun Yan took a look at Gardevoir holding Xingjia, and he understood that there was a traitor in his team!
In the end, Gongsun Yan didn't know what expression to make, so he could only turn his attention back to the gorgeous competition. At this time, the first round of review had ended, and Xiaoyao, Xiaoshun, Miss Yuezi and another extra successfully entered the second round of review.
Seeing this scene, Xingjia cheered immediately, but after a while she saw the battle schedule for the second round of review, and her mother and Xiaoyao bumped into each other.
This made her wonder who to cheer for. Although she had a very good relationship with Xiaoyao, the friendship they had just had in the past few days was a little weak compared to her mother's. But Gongsun Yan and the others had just tried their best to save her yesterday, so it would not be good for her to just ignore them.
Gongsun Yan didn't notice Xing Jia's troubled expression. He sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Xiao Yao is in big trouble this time!"
"? Why do you say that?" Xingjia didn't expect that Gongsun Yan, Xiaoyao's travel partner, would actually speak ill of Xiaoyao from the very beginning, and asked Gongsun Yan curiously.
Gongsun Yan smiled mysteriously and said, "Because Xiaoyao is so smooth right now!"
After saying this, Gongsun Yan refused to reveal any more words no matter how much Xingjia questioned him, and the final result did not change at all. Xiaoyao's Bulbasaur was defeated miserably by Miss Yuezi's Kodara.
Not only that, because of Xiaoyao's unyielding behavior, Miss Joy, who is known for her good temper, severely scolded Xiaoyao. The other two judges on the side also expressed their dissatisfaction with Xiaoyao's actions.
Gongsun Yan watched Xiaoyao blaming herself on TV with cold eyes, but the regret in his eyes became more and more intense. He had thought that Xiaoyao would be able to change under his butterfly effect, but in the end, there was no change at all.
But this may be a good thing. Although this failure is unforgettable, it also sounded a wake-up call for Xiaoyao. As long as she can get over it, she will never make the same mistake in the future.
What if you can't get out? Then why do you need companions? The Alliance supports trainers to travel together not only for safety reasons, but also because humans are social creatures and no one can be separated from the group forever.
Someone once said that when you are alone, you will walk fast but you will not go far. This sentence illustrates the importance of companions.
After Xiaoyao left the stage, Gongsun Yan saw Xiaozhi talk to Xiaogang and the others next to him for a few words and then left his seat. He naturally knew that Xiaozhi went to comfort Xiaoyao, so he felt relieved. After all, Xiaoyao and Xiaozhi had similar personalities and fighting styles. Xiaozhi should have seen his past shadow in her.
After such a long period of experience, Xiaozhi has a new understanding of himself, so he is more than capable of comforting Xiaoyao, who is very similar to him.
When Gongsun Yan thought of this, he suddenly felt that Xiaozhi and Xiaoyao were not very suitable for each other. After all, someone who is too much like him can be a brother or a best friend, but not a lover. Otherwise, his significant other would be able to guess what he is thinking, which would be too scary.
Putting aside what Gongsun Yan was thinking, the second battle on TV had already begun. Xingjia, who was still worried about Xiaoyao, also turned her attention to the battle. After all, this was a crucial battle that determined whether her mother could get the ribbon.
Gongsun Yan already had an idea about this battle. Although Miss Yuezi's Kodorah was well trained, its body was too bulky and its attack speed was surprisingly slow. It had not received any targeted training at all.
Facing such an opponent, Xiao Shun can be said to have dozens of ways to win, but Gongsun Yan guessed based on Xiao Shun's personality that he would definitely choose a more gentlemanly method like in the anime, which is to delay time after gaining the lead in points, making the scene back and forth and as beautiful as possible.
The final result did not exceed Gongsun Yan's expectations. Xiao Shun's Rain-Winged Moth won the championship of this magnificent competition with a large points advantage.
Perhaps to outsiders this was a fight between dragons and tigers, but to someone who knew the business like Gongsun Yan, this was a complete let-down. Xiao Shun didn't even display his opportunistic qualities, and missed many exploitable loopholes.
Finally, when Gongsun Yan saw Xiaoyao coming to the stage with a smile on her face to bless Xiaoshun, he realized that Xiaozhi had already convinced Xiaoyao. This made him feel emotional and helpless. All the words he had thought of were useless, and the countermeasures he agreed with Xiaoshun were useless. Xiaoyao was actually unable to fight against Xiaoshun, which was quite regrettable.
Chapter 164: Finally Arrived in Yinyu City
On the evening after the gorgeous competition ended, Xiaozhi and his friends went out for a party, saying that they wanted to comfort Xiaoyao and Miss Yuezi who had lost the battle. They also took Xingjia away, leaving Gongsun Yan alone in the hospital.
Just when Gongsun Yan was feeling bored, Lucario beside him turned his head and looked towards the door of the ward, and his waveguide sensed someone approaching.
"I say, why are you in such a mess? You are actually lying in the hospital now." The voice came before the person appeared.
"Haha, how about we compete in push-ups now? You just need to do half of mine." Gongsun Yan knew who was coming when he heard the voice and said unhappily.
"No, no, I'm not that interested in this kind of exercise that makes me sweat a lot. After all, I just want to be a quiet handsome man." After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, the man hurriedly refused and pushed open the door of the ward.
The person who came was Zhuge... No, it was Xiao Shun who won the gorgeous competition. After he heard that Gongsun Yan was injured, he chose to come and visit him.
Xiao Shun was planning to say something when he came in, but when he looked up, he saw the ferocious eyes of Tyrannosaurus and Land Shark, and he completely forgot what he wanted to say for a moment.
"Okay, all of you calm down a bit, we're friends." Gongsun Yan deliberately let Xiao Shun endure the gaze for ten seconds before letting Bao Feilong and the others stop, not for anything else, just to see Xiao Shun's frightened look.
Upon hearing this, Baofeilong and the others let down their guard, and Xiao Shun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he thought that Baofeilong and the others wanted to attack him.
“Why don’t you celebrate your victory? Come visit me, a sick patient, when you have time!” Gongsun Yan teased.
"Hmph, it's only natural that I won the championship. But you actually hurt yourself, how shameful!" Xiao Shun was not willing to be outdone, and immediately retorted to Gongsun Yan.
After a verbal battle between the two, they all started laughing, leaving the Pokémon nearby a little confused as to what the hell was going on between them.
"How is it? Can we continue traveling?" Xiao Shun asked.
"Of course. I will set off tomorrow. Also, although our arrangement did not come in handy this time, the result is almost the same. You must be careful next time you see Xiaoyao, otherwise you will be killed." Gongsun Yan replied calmly.
"Well, that's the best. I won't say anything more. Just have a good rest!" After Xiao Shun finished speaking, he walked directly out of the room. He walked away so casually, without any reluctance at all.
Gongsun Yan looked at Xiao Shun's back and sneered, "You just came here to check on Xiao Yao's condition. You even came here under the pretext of caring about me, but you didn't even bother to ask."
