"Of course! X2" Xiaozhi and Gongsun Yan shouted in unison.
There is no need to talk about Xiaozhi. The intimacy between him and his Pokémon is probably at the maximum, and he may even be able to reproduce the long-lost bond evolution in the future.
Gongsun Yan also loves Pokémon very much. Every encounter in life is the best gift given by fate, and Gongsun Yan will always cherish this hard-earned emotion.
Chapter 178: Movie Show
Three days have passed since they left Yinyu City. At this time, Gongsun Yan and others are walking in a forest, and they are moving towards Shuijing City.
They had just said goodbye the day before to a man from Gaogu who traveled from village to village playing movies for people.
After hearing his story, Gongsun Yan volunteered to help the other party. Xiaozhi and the others readily agreed because they had never seen a movie played like this.
In fact, according to Gongsun Yan's age in his previous life, he should have never seen this form of movie playing. However, every town has a few nostalgic old people. In the city where Gongsun Yan grew up, every summer vacation, an old man would bring a complete set of equipment to the county square to play movies.
In his previous life, Gongsun Yan would go to the square every night to take a walk to digest his food, so he had naturally seen the old man. He was naturally very interested in this kind of thing that only appeared in film and television works. The summer vacation during that period could be said to be one of the few times in his childhood that he could still remember.
However, after the old man passed away, his descendants no longer had as much free time to show movies in the square, so the big screen in the square became completely vacant until it was completely demolished a few years later.
Gongsun Yan felt regretful for a long time at that time. This time, he finally encountered it again. Although it is no longer the same world as before, he definitely wants to watch such a movie again.
After the deal was reached, everyone went to the village in the mountains with Gao Gu. The journey was full of dangers, and Xiaoyao almost lost his life.
But seriously, it was just that Xiaoyao was too naive. He was actually playing some game of Xiaoyao's Expedition Team. When he saw the falling rocks, he just stood there and had no intention of running to the side at all.
If Gongsun Yan and Xiaosheng hadn't acted quickly, Xiaoyao would have been buried deep underground. However, the fallen rubble completely blocked the group's way forward. There was no other way but to clear the rubble before moving forward. In the end, they were unable to reach the village today.
As for why it takes so long to clear the rubble, it is mainly because on that kind of mountain road, although it is not as prone to avalanches as on snowy mountains, it is also very likely to cause mountain collapse. Falling stones are still considered safe, but in serious cases it will cause a landslide.
Therefore, the method of using violence to clear the way was completely rejected. The equipment carried by the Charmeleon was too heavy, and even the Tyrannosaurus Rex was a little unstable when carrying it. In order to ensure the safety of the equipment, everyone could only clear the rubble bit by bit, which seriously slowed down the progress.
In the evening, everyone had a good dinner on a flat ground. After drinking Xiaogang's special thick soup, everyone felt that all the fatigue in their bodies disappeared and they became more energetic.
While having dinner, everyone talked about the movies they had watched in the past. Seeing how heatedly they were discussing, Gongsun Yan also made some magical changes to the classic movies he had watched in his previous life. Everyone who heard about the plots was also very interested.
Gongsun Yan discovered that although there were many modified versions of classic movies in the Pokémon world, there were also many that did not exist. This gave Gongsun Yan the idea of making those movies, but that is another story.
The next morning, everyone got up early and continued towards their destination after having breakfast. However, the difference was that a golden-colored Pichu appeared on Gongsun Yan's shoulder.
This Pikachu was captured by Gongsun Yan on the night he challenged the gym, but because there was no reasonable reason, Gongsun Yan never had the chance to take it out. This time is the perfect opportunity to take it out.
That's right, it's her. This Pikachu is female, naive, and has the characteristics of a lightning rod. This character has made Gongsun Yan decide to go for the dual sword style, so he can just look to Pikachu for his moveset.
However, Gongsun Yan is not worried about the future strength of his Pikachu. Even if Pikachu doesn't like fighting, his family can still afford to raise a pet. But there is something wrong with the way Pikachu looks at Pikachu, almost like he is giving him a spark.
This made Gongsun Yan, who treated Pikachu as his own daughter, feel very jealous. However, Pikachu was naive in character and nature, and did not notice Pikachu's evil ambitions at all. Instead, it always ran to Xiaozhi's shoulder to have a tryst with Pikachu.
If Xiaozhi and the others hadn't tried their best to stop him, Gongsun Yan would have definitely taught Pikachu a lesson. However, Xiaozhi and the others defended Gongsun Yan away, so Gongsun Yan could only stare and be angry.
After walking for several hours, a paddy field appeared in front of them. Many old men and women were working in the fields. They obviously knew Mr. Takaya and came up to greet them as soon as they saw them.
While they were chatting, a group of children rushed out from the village, surrounded Mr. Takaya, and asked him what kind of movies he brought this year.
Mr. Takaya started talking to the children very skillfully, and led everyone to a high platform at the edge of the village to set up a screen.
After arriving here, Mr. Gao Gu asked the children to go home and wait first. He, Gongsun Yan and others worked together to set up the screen and waited for the night to fall.
As the night gradually darkened, people kept coming up to the platform. Looking around, they were all children. It seemed that all the children in the village had gathered here.
Gongsun Yan looked at these children and seemed to see the left-behind children reported in his previous life. The elderly people during the day should also be empty-nest elderly. It seems that these people exist in every world. The annual movie may be their only source of entertainment.
Seeing that most people had arrived, Mr. Gaotani started playing a movie. The plots seemed a bit boring to Gongsun Yan, but they were thrilling enough for the children.
Just as the children were immersed in the movie, a muffled sound was heard from behind the screen, and four figures flew towards the sky. However, because the sound was extremely small and the night was covered, no one watching the movie noticed this.
Lucario also walked out from behind the screen and nodded to Gongsun Yan, indicating that the person who wanted to cause trouble was gone.
Gongsun Yan also nodded with a smile. Children are the most precious treasures of mankind, and the worst crime in the world is to harm these treasures. Gongsun Yan would naturally not let Team Rocket destroy these children's dreams of watching a movie.
Recalling what happened yesterday, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face again, but after seeing Pichu lying in Pikachu's arms, Gongsun Yan's eyes changed completely.
You can't hide the look in your eyes that wants to kill someone, and the same goes for Pokémon.
Chapter 179: King-level Moonstone
Gongsun Yan was angry alone in front because Pichu kept staying on Pikachu and refused to get up, while Xiaozhi and the others could only laugh at him.
Just as the group was moving forward in a very strange atmosphere, a small town appeared in front of everyone. Xiaosheng looked at the navigator in his hand and found that the name of the town in front was Valley Town.
Everyone unanimously decided to rest in this town. After all, it was already afternoon and there were no other towns ahead where they could stay overnight.
Walking into this small town, what you see is a desolate scene. There is no one in the whole town, as if no one lives in this town.
Everyone was a little confused when they saw this, but they didn't think much about it and walked towards the Pokémon Center in the town. The doors and windows of all the houses on the road were closed, which looked so weird.
When Gongsun Yan was walking on the road, he suddenly remembered what was going on. It seemed that a moonstone was causing trouble.
When Gongsun Yan thought of this, he immediately released Gardevoir and asked her to be on the lookout for any mental power of unknown origin around him at all times, and also issued a warning to Xiaozhi and the others.
"Everyone be careful, this place is very strange, there are a lot of psychic left in this town, there should be a very powerful psychic Pokémon hiding here."
"What?!" After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Xiaozhi and the others immediately became alert. However, without any psychic-type Pokémon, they had almost no means to counter psychic powers.
While Gongsun Yan was lamenting the abnormality of Psychic-type Pokémon, she also told Xiaozhi and the others not to leave three meters away from Gardevoir. Just now, Gardevoir had said that within three meters of her, even a champion-level Psychic-type Pokémon would not be able to easily succeed.
After everyone surrounded Gardevoir, they all looked at Gongsun Yan, as if they wanted to hear what was going to happen next.
Gongsun Yan did not refuse. He was familiar with the plot and could obviously avoid some unnecessary pitfalls. In addition, he had been baptized by many novels in his previous life, so he had some experience in command.
"Let's go to the Pokémon Center first and see if Miss Joy is okay." After careful consideration, Gongsun Yan decided to go to the Pokémon Center first.
Being familiar with the plot, he naturally knew that Miss Joy had been controlled, but he decided to let Gardevoir try to see if she could restore Miss Joy to normal. They were still relatively lacking in information, and Miss Joy was obviously the person most likely to know a lot of information.
After hearing this, Xiaozhi and the others agreed very much. They surrounded Gardevoir and slowly walked towards the Pokémon Center not far away.
Pushing open the door with a strong western feel, everyone walked into the Pokémon Center, and Gongsun Yan shouted a few words towards the counter.
After a while, a Miss Joy pushed open the door of the counter with very stiff movements, walked in front of the crowd with lifeless eyes, and read in an emotionless tone.
"Sorry, the Pokémon Center is not serving customers right now. Please leave!"
Gongsun Yan looked at Miss Joy with empty eyes in front of him, and some bad thoughts kept coming to his mind. He seemed to have seen a lot of women like this on a pink app in his previous life. They gave people the feeling that they were played with.
This unreasonable association made Gongsun Yan's thoughts suddenly wander. He recalled the computer and mobile phone that had not been formatted yet, and instantly broke free from his fantasy.
Of course, it is also because Gongsun Yan’s current hardware conditions are insufficient and he cannot react at all. Otherwise, the fear of social death would be difficult to suppress his own hormones.
Gongsun Yan took the opportunity to look at Miss Joy in front of him a few more times, as if he was planning to remember Miss Joy in this state in his heart, then turned to Gardevoir behind him and said.
"Gardevoir, try to see if you can restore Miss Joy to normal. If that doesn't work, you must ensure Miss Joy's safety!"
Although Gongsun Yan intended to ask Miss Joy to provide some information, he did not want Miss Joy to suffer any harm as a result.
"Sha! (I know.)"
After Gardevoir said something to Gongsun Yan, it urged its mental power to concentrate on Miss Joy's head. During this time, no one dared to even breathe, for fear of affecting Gardevoir.
Gardevoir is also very careful. You know, the human brain is a very delicate organ, and one careless mistake could cause a disaster.
As Gardevoir's mental power continued to penetrate deeper, Miss Joy, who had originally had a blank expression on her face, revealed a very painful expression and her body fell backwards.
Seeing this, Xiao Gang quickly jumped behind the counter and hugged Miss Joy, preventing her from falling to the ground. Of course, Gongsun Yan thought that Xiao Gang might be trying to take advantage of her.
As time passed, sweat continued to seep out of Gardevoir's head, but the mental power shrouding Miss Joy's head showed no sign of weakening.
Gongsun Yan also became a little impatient upon seeing this. In fact, he had already taken his opponent seriously enough, but he felt that even if Gardevoir, which already had the strength of a quasi-king, could not defeat the Moonstone, it should be easy for it to break the mental power left by it. However, the result was beyond his expectation.
"Sha!" Just when Gongsun Yan was about to lose patience and was about to ask Gardevoir to stop, Gardevoir suddenly shouted, and the mental power wrapped around Miss Joy's head immediately dissipated, and Gardevoir's spirit obviously became weak.
"Hmm~" As her mental power dissipated, Miss Joy gradually woke up, but she was still a little dazed.
Everyone quickly helped Miss Joy to sit down on a seat nearby. Xiao Gang also took out a thermos cup of tea from his bag and poured a cup of tea for Miss Joy.
"Uh, now I remember, it seems that a Moonstone flew into the Pokémon Center. I saw that the child seemed to be seriously injured. When I was about to go forward to check, it glared at me and I lost consciousness."
Miss Joy, who had recovered, told everyone the whole story. Everyone was shocked to hear the news, as Pokémon like Moonstone are extremely rare in the Pokémon world.
Gongsun Yan was not curious about this moonstone. He was just a little shocked by its strength. It was able to control Miss Joy just by glaring at her, and it also made Gardevoir feel so difficult.
Even though Gongsun Yan knew that the other party was hiding in the Pokémon Center and could continuously replenish and control Miss Joy's mental power, it also showed that the strength of this Moonstone was definitely above the King level!
Gongsun Yan felt that the opportunity for Gardevoir to break through to the King level had appeared.
Chapter 180 Wow, so brave!
Gongsun Yan and his group were currently groping their way forward in the Pokémon Center, with Miss Joy following closely behind them. Because they were afraid that Miss Joy would be controlled again, everyone did not abandon her.
Based on Miss Joy's statement, everyone believed that the Moonstone was still in the Pokémon Center and prepared to find it.
Under Gongsun Yan's constant guidance, everyone successfully found Moonstone who was unconscious in a warehouse in the Pokémon Center. Seeing this, Miss Joy quickly asked everyone to move Moonstone to the treatment table in the Pokémon Center.
According to Miss Joy's examination, the Moonstone had been seriously injured and had greatly overdrawn its mental power not long ago, which was why it fainted in the warehouse.
This also cleared up Gongsun Yan's doubts. He clearly remembered that this Moonstone should still be alive in the original work. Why did it fall down now? It turned out that it had exhausted all its physical strength in the previous battle with Gardevoir.
Because Gongsun Yan sped up the plot, there was no Meow Meow to translate, and Yueshi showed no signs of waking up, so Gongsun Yan had to take out his own illustrations and turned to the one for Yueshi.
"The Pokémon Moonstone can absorb the power of the moon to restore itself during a full moon. I remember today is a full moon day, how about letting it bask in the moonlight?"
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Miss Joy also shook her head and said, "We are surrounded by mountains here, so we can't see the full moon. We can only see the moon over the Fire Camel Hill."
"Then let's go to the Fire Camel Hill!" Xiaozhi said without hesitation, "This will also allow the Moonstone to recover quickly, and we can also find out why it wants to control the people in this town."
"This shouldn't work, after all..." Just as Gongsun Yan was about to refute what Xiaozhi said, the door of the Pokémon Center was suddenly pushed open, and everyone in the treatment room looked towards the door.
Two people dressed very strangely walked into the Pokémon Center. Because they were not wearing masks, Gongsun Yan recognized at a glance that these two were the culprits who attacked Moonstone.
"Could these two guys be?" Xiaozhi immediately remembered who these two people were. Xiaogang also agreed with what Xiaozhi said. They had met these two people in the Johto area and had a very bad impression of them.
"Hmm? The Moonstone is really here! Hey, you guys quickly hand over the Moonstone to me!" As soon as the two men walked into the Pokémon Center, they saw the Moonstone lying on the table in the treatment room. They were overjoyed and issued a warning to everyone at the same time.
"Hey, hey, have you forgotten where this is? This is the Pokémon Center, a place set by the Alliance where fighting is not allowed. Are you planning to rob here?" Gongsun Yan got angry when he saw the two people in front of him and confronted them directly.
In fact, Gongsun Yan does not object to trainers catching Pokémon, even if the trainer is a well-known scumbag. After all, catching Pokémon is a power given to them by the laws of the League, and they have no power and no position to stop them.
However, the Alliance does not allow the use of machines to capture Pokémon. In other words, you can conquer Pokémon with "reason", you can persuade them with your heart, or even cheat them, but you are not allowed to use any machine to capture Pokémon.
These two PFC guys, after seeing the meteorite, directly operated the machines to fire, and even planned to use the machines to forcibly subdue the moonstone. If Gongsun Yan had evidence in his hands, he would have been in the mood to notify the prosecutor.
"We were the ones who discovered this moonstone, and we have the right to take it away! Hand it over to us now!" These two men obviously did not have such a good temper. Seeing that everyone was unwilling to hand over the moonstone, they became more and more impatient and kept approaching the crowd.
"Oh? What do you want to do?" Gongsun Yan looked at the two people in front of him with a smile, and the illustration hidden in the dark was also raised a little, looking forward to what they would say.
That's right, although Gongsun Yan had no evidence of their illegal capture, he could record the scenes of their malicious attack on the Pokémon Center. Judging from the brain capacity of the two people in front of him, they probably had no intention of restraining themselves at all, so it would be too easy for Gongsun Yan to collect evidence.
As Gongsun Yan expected, after hearing what Gongsun Yan said, they rushed directly towards the crowd without even releasing their Pokémon, as if they were planning to use their fists to force everyone to surrender.
Gongsun Yan waited until they rushed into the treatment room, and even swept all the objects blocking the way to the ground before putting away the illustrated book. Together with Xiaozhi, he kicked them out one by one.
"Don't I have to say, these two guys are so weak, they didn't even release their Pokémon and just come here to fight hand-to-hand?" After "sending" his opponent out of the Pokémon Center, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but complain to the people around him. He really couldn't figure out what these two guys were here for.
The people around were also very confused when they heard this. They obviously couldn't understand what was going on in the other party's train of thought. However, they didn't feel confused for long, as a huge rumbling sound was heard outside.
When everyone went out to look, they saw that the two guys who were driven out actually drove a huge mechanical tank directly into the Valley Town. This action made everyone a little stunned.
"Oh my god, are these two so brave?" Gongsun Yan was also a little confused, but his hands were very quick in taking out the atlas and video. How could he not preserve such important evidence?
If the two men's previous actions of attacking the Pokémon Center were punishable by several years in prison, and if they had handled the matter properly, they wouldn't even have to serve a single day in jail.
Now they've openly driven threatening machines into town, and are planning to attack the Pokémon Center owned by the Alliance. This isn't something that can be solved by just going to jail. If this happened in the past, it would have been a crime endangering national security, the kind that would have been a disaster for future generations!
"Incredible Pokémon, I want it!" The two of them controlled the robots and rushed towards the crowd, without any regard for their safety.
"Good man, this is too outrageous! Dragonite, Swampert, hold them down!" Gongsun Yan didn't expect that the two of them would rush directly towards the Pokémon Center. For a moment, he could only release his two strongest Pokémon to stop them.
Since Xiaozhi and his friends didn't bring any Power-type Pokémon, they had to return to the Pokémon Center and escape through the back door with the Moonstone.
Chapter 181: Fellow Daoist, Please Stay
Fortunately, thanks to the desperate resistance of Dragonite and Swampert, the robot just barely crashed into the platform in front of the Pokémon Center, and even the sign of the Pokémon Center was not deformed.
"Okay, uncle, I'm really a little angry!" Gongsun Yan looked at the huge robot in front of him, his eyes almost filled with anger.
"Saurus, triple dragon dance! Swampert, five consecutive curses!" Gongsun Yan shouted with a cold face.
While the robot was adjusting its body, Dragonite performed a mysterious dance in the air, and Swampert emitted a strange red light. Both Pokémon were constantly strengthening themselves.
"Swampert, use your strength to send this iron lump up into the sky, and Dragonite, use your claws to smash it up for me!"
As soon as Gongsun Yan finished speaking, Swampert appeared at the feet of the robot. The muscles on Swampert's arms bulged abnormally, and his arms were almost as big as his body. He picked up the robot with the momentum of Lin Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow.
