Because the most deadly thing about that stinky mud back then was not the various chemical toxins, but radiation, nuclear radiation!
That's right, this Muddy Pokémon was originally just an ordinary Pokémon living in the sewer, but one time a staff member's operational error caused the ongoing nuclear test to malfunction, and a large amount of nuclear waste water was discharged into the sewer.
The sewer was originally designed to discharge polluted wastewater, which will enter the river after multiple treatments.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with such a design. However, the designer obviously did not notice that Pokémon would also live in the sewers. These Pokémon have been baptized by wastewater time and time again, and their bodies have undergone significant mutations.
The nuclear waste water was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The final mutation occurred. The originally normal slime evolved into a shiny slime. Its whole body turned dark yellow, and the grass and trees withered wherever it walked.
The alliance at that time had no ability to stop the opponent. At the last moment, it was Phoenix King who stepped forward, baptized the opponent with the sacred fire, and took it to an unknown place for settlement.
Gongsun Yan seriously suspected that the stinky slime in front of him was the mutated and evolved stinky slime, otherwise how could it not have any toxins at all.
After taming the stinky mud, Gongsun Yan didn't dwell on it for too long. After all, these were things he would have to worry about later. The most important thing now was to enjoy the fishing time.
Then, the nightmare began.
Agate jellyfish and stinging jellyfish appeared almost in groups, and Gongsun Yan even caught an Abramoth and a Toxicosaurus, which made Gongsun Yan feel like he had disturbed the nest of poison-type Pokémon.
However, being able to catch the Toxopus was a pleasant surprise. Gongsun Yan was very interested in this Pokémon from the distant Kalos and Galar regions, but after careful observation, Gongsun Yan chose to let it go.
Although the body of the Poison Algae Dragon is very slender, this one is too thin. It can be seen that it did not take in enough nutrition, and it was forcefully evolved into a Poison Algae Dragon. Its original potential has been almost exhausted, and it will be difficult to improve its strength in the future.
In this situation, Gongsun Yan simply fed the dragon a few energy cubes and put it back into the water. However, after tasting the energy cubes, the poisonous algae dragon was reluctant to leave and stayed by the side for more than an hour. Only after it found that Gongsun Yan had no intention of changing his mind did it silently sank back into the water.
There was no way. Gongsun Yan was not a sucker. The poisonous algae dragon just wanted to find a long-term meal ticket. It had no respect or love for him. Gongsun Yan naturally would not subdue it.
Chapter 220: Yandere is really scary
In short, Gongsun Yan didn't catch any Pokémon that wasn't poisonous. The most ridiculous thing was that one time he just raised the fishing rod and was bitten by a Zubat before he could throw it into the water.
This moment was also captured by a photographer who was taking pictures of the scenery. The photographer was astonished when he saw this scene. It was actually unimaginable that someone could catch the Zubat with a fishing rod!
"Oh, use it as you like." Gongsun Yan sent the photographer away expressionlessly. The photographer wanted Gongsun Yan to authorize him to use this photo to participate in the competition.
Gongsun Yan naturally had no objection. There was no use for him to have the photo anyway. He didn't even want to look at it again, so as to avoid being reminded of what happened today.
"Mud~"
"Well, do you want it? I'll give them all to you." Gongsun Yan glanced at the stinky mud lying beside him, sighed, and poured the remaining energy cubes into the stinky mud's open mouth.
Seeing how deliciously the slime was eating, Gongsun Yan put all the food into his backpack, and prepared to go back to the Pokémon Center with a few fish in his hand.
As mentioned earlier, there are ordinary animals in the Pokémon world, and there are naturally fish in the sea, but there are no large fish. The other small fish are at the bottom of the food chain, and even Magikarp can bully them.
The reason why no ordinary fish took the bait when fishing before was mainly because neither the energy blocks nor the special fishing hooks were attractive to ordinary fish, so they naturally would not come up to bite the hook.
Gongsun Yan was able to gain something for no other reason than that the energy blocks made from those scraps were too poisonous!
A large number of creatures were knocked down after soaking in the water for a short while. Fortunately, after checking, Gongsun Yan found that the poison was not fatal and they would recover after a while. The poison spread in the water had little impact on humans, and even less in fish.
Gongsun Yan simply picked out a few larger, edible fish and put them in a puddle nearby, intending to give Miss Joy a meal in the evening. After all, since she was already here, it would not be appropriate to leave without taking something with her.
Although he only tamed a stinky mud today, which was not considered a empty-handed return, Gongsun Yan still wanted to bring more things back. After all, the more of these things he could get, the better.
Miss Joy was also very happy when she got the fish. After all, she also wanted to repay Gongsun Yan. She immediately handed the fish to Jilidan beside her.
That's right, although Miss Joy from Shuijing City can cook, she has no experience with fish and is even a little afraid of it, which is outrageous.
Since Shuijing City is a port city, fish are inevitable. After all, the creatures at the bottom of the food chain have no other characteristics except that they have more. Otherwise, there would not be enough fish to be eaten by the creatures at the upper level.
So Miss Joy found a kitchen helper. Her partner, Jellyfish, was an expert at cooking fish, and the two of them were a golden pair.
However, Gongsun Yan, who watched the entire cooking process in the kitchen, conducted a san value judgment. Unfortunately, he failed to make it. His san value dropped sharply and he felt terrible.
Anyone who saw Jigglypuff, with her pink and tender body and a gentle smile on her face, would be amazed to see her chop off the head of a struggling fish with a knife, and she didn't even notice the blood splattering on her face.
After realizing that Gongsun Yan was looking at him, Jilidan, still holding a knife in one hand and the fish that was still dripping blood in the other, turned around and gave Gongsun Yan his usual smile, with the bloodstains on his face so obvious.
"Haha, come on, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while." Gongsun Yan returned to his room with a grim face. He suspected that he might go crazy if he stayed any longer.
Thinking back to what happened this morning, Gongsun Yan was now filled with fear. He had to thank Jigglypuff for not killing him, otherwise he would probably be reborn again this morning.
Gongsun Yan, who had calmed down in the room, did not dare to go downstairs to find Chansey, but instead asked Gardevoir to take dinner back to his room.
Not only that, Gongsun Yan also released the stinky mud that he had just tamed, pointed at the food that was served to it and asked it if it had an appetite.
After seeing Chou Ni looking down on the food on the table, Gongsun Yan finally felt relieved and had a peaceful dinner.
The reason for this operation was that when Gongsun Yan was giving dinner to his Pokémon, the Pokémon had clearly eaten a large amount of toxic energy blocks, but no toxins appeared on their body surface.
Gongsun Yan, who discovered the blind spot, also checked it and even did a small experiment. As a result, he found that no matter what poisonous food the stinky mud ate, it would be digested by itself and would not show any symptoms.
Moreover, the more toxic something is, the more it is liked by the stinky mud, and the greater the benefit it gets after eating it. This was the conclusion Gongsun Yan came to after losing a poison gem.
Gongsun Yan was astonished when he reached this conclusion, and then turned to his father to ask for reimbursement. Are you kidding me? Why should I pay for the research expenses myself? Wouldn’t it be better if it could be reimbursed?
Gongsun Che, who heard the news, was also very interested. He reimbursed Gongsun Yan's investment with a wave of his hand, and asked Gongsun Yan to send the stinky mud as soon as possible. He was anxious to conduct research.
So after Gongsun Yan finished his meal, he handed the stinky mud to Gongsun Che. Anyway, he didn't have to worry about the other party refusing to pay, so he still had some trust in him.
After teleporting the Pokémon, Gongsun Yan immediately returned to his room. Wow, there are no normal Pokémon in this Pokémon Center. The Pokémon before was outrageous enough, and Chansey was even more outrageous!
"But I have to say, the rice cooked with the Jelly Egg is really delicious. I should have added the egg in front of my stomach to the dinner. Now I feel warm all over."
Gongsun Yan was lying on the bed and thinking that the eggs of Chanel, the onions of Farfalle, and the tail of Slowpoke were all famous for their delicacies. Now he suddenly had the idea of taming a Chanel.
However, after careful consideration, Gongsun Yan gave up this fascinating idea. After all, it didn't seem like a human thing to capture a Jigglypuff egg to provide food, and the cost seemed a bit too high.
Moreover, there is already a team doctor in the team. If Gongsun Yan finds another one, he is afraid that Gardevoir will not do it. Today he finally experienced the horror of the yandere. He originally thought it was quite cute in the anime, but when he really encountered it, he just felt a chill in his lower body.
Gongsun Yan, feeling sleepy, stopped his wild thoughts. He forgot that he had to go to the Magma Team base in Yantu Mountain to cause trouble last night, so he went there first to go through the plot.
Chapter 221 The Five-Man Group Meets
It was dawn, and Gongsun Yan got up on time at six in the morning as usual. However, this time he had no intention of avoiding it and walked out of his room openly. He didn't want to be beaten again.
When he turned the corner, he bumped into Jilidan who was walking on the road. After they greeted each other, Gongsun Yan turned and left.
After walking out of the Pokémon Center, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but take two deep breaths. Now, whenever he saw Chansey, he thought of maces and kitchen knives, which scared him to death.
Little did she know that the same thing happened to Chandler. As soon as she saw Gongsun Yan, she remembered how she was knocked to the ground by her. She also remembered Gardevoir that came out afterwards. After all, she was ravaged by the other party's super powers for an hour or so, and the other party's trainer only let her go after the examination results came out.
Xiaozhi and his friends will arrive in Shuijing City at noon today, so Gongsun Yan has to go to the restaurant in advance to reserve a seat to prevent Xiaoyao from getting angry.
So Gongsun Yan acted decisively, picked up the fishing rod, came to the place where he fished yesterday, and started today's fishing operation.
It's only six o'clock now. It's crazy to go to that restaurant now to reserve a seat. You must wait until Xiaozhi and Xiaoyao are about to arrive before going there! By the way, even the dishes are served. Anyway, Xiaozhi and Xiaoyao will be so hungry that they can eat a cow at noon. Serving the dishes earlier will save their lives.
What? How did Gongsun Yan know? Good fellow, they have been traveling together for a while, and I can’t say that I know their schedules and behavior patterns completely, but I can tell that they are roughly the same.
As for the morning routine of exercise, the focus is on Pokémon, and the requirements for the environment are not that demanding. To be precise, there are no requirements at all, as long as there is an open space.
So Gongsun Yan chose a place with open space and where he could kill time. Actually, he was going to do morning exercises together, but Gardevoir rejected his right to do morning exercises on the grounds that he needed to recuperate after being injured.
Gongsun Yan's resistance was futile and he could only accept it. After all, fishing could exercise the body and the amount of exercise was within the prescribed range of Gardevoir.
By the way, the Pokémon that Gongsun Yan currently carries with him are: the team's cute pet Pichu, the old mother Gardevoir, the ferocious Gyarados, the intimate brother Swampert, and the desert newbie Sharknado.
Gongsun Yan had teleported Dragonite back to rest due to health reasons, but he did not recall Charizard or Dragonite. Apart from the fact that the two of them were in cahoots with each other to hide from the research institute personnel, Gongsun Yan found that he didn't really need flying Pokémon in the future, so he simply didn't bring them.
Originally, Swampert was also going to be sent back, but the Mega Stone of Swampert was already on the way, and how could he give up without trying it a few times? So Gongsun Yan left Swampert behind.
As for Lucario, knowing that he is not strong enough, he plans to stay in seclusion in the research institute for a while, converting what he has accumulated during the travel period into his own strength, and by the way, try to break the bottleneck of the king level.
After arranging the training requirements for these Pokémon, Gongsun Yan decisively set up the fishing rod, ready to immerse himself in the fun of fishing. Pikachu also lay on Gongsun Yan's head, intending to teach the Pokémon how to make a Pokémon by directly giving it an electric shock after the prey was hooked.
I don't know if it was Gongsun Yan's luck or something, but only Magikarp took the bait this morning. After catching the first one, even Pikachu was too lazy to make a move and just lay on Gongsun Yan's head and took a nap. Anyway, Gongsun Yan could beat two Magikarp with his bare hands.
Although the outcome of the battle this morning was very infuriating, Gongsun Yan was finally able to stay calm. He still remembered what Xiaoyao had asked him to do, and when he saw that it was almost time for lunch, he quickly ran to the restaurant and asked for a private room.
Of course, Gongsun Yan also communicated with Xiaoyao and the others and only went there after knowing their progress.
After all the dishes were served, Xiaoyao and the others finally arrived at the restaurant, bringing a new friend with them, who was the girl Gongsun Yan saw at the fruit market yesterday.
"Please give me your advice. My name is Ghana!" The girl introduced herself to Gongsun Yan generously and extended her right hand.
"Please give me your guidance. My name is Gongsun Yan, and you can call me Xiaoyan." Gongsun Yan also stretched out his right hand and shook hands with the other party.
"Eh? Have we met somewhere before?" Gongsun Yan was just being polite at first, but unexpectedly, Ghana held Gongsun Yan's hand and wouldn't let go. He even put his face close to Gongsun Yan to observe him.
"Uh, that, the distance is a little close." Gongsun Yan said weakly.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I just feel like I've seen you somewhere." Ghana also felt that her behavior as a girl was a little indecent, so she quickly let go of Gongsun Yan's hand.
Gongsun Yan breathed a sigh of relief after getting back control of his right hand. He really had no experience in dealing with such outgoing people, but it must be said that cheerful people are likable, and Gongsun Yan did not feel offended at all.
"It should have been at the fruit market yesterday. I have some impression of you there as well." Gongsun Yan gave a slight reminder.
"Oh, right, I remember now. My Puff Pig reminded me to look at the handsome guy." Ghana hit his left hand with his right hand and said with sudden realization.
Everyone who heard this was ashamed. These sisters were really too thick-skinned. Should they really say such things in front of each other?
"Although this restaurant had good reviews before, it's not so good after it became famous. If you don't mind, how about coming to my house for dinner tonight!"
Ghana didn't notice the strange atmosphere among the crowd at all. Instead, he warmly invited everyone to have dinner together in the evening.
"Oh, thank you so much! It turns out that the best food is home-cooked meals." Gongsun Yan did not refuse. In coastal cities, the best food is usually not in restaurants, but in local restaurants or simply by eating at home.
After all, restaurants are about standards, while home-cooked meals are about the human touch. Moreover, each restaurant often has its own unique secrets, and the taste is definitely not inferior to those in big hotels.
After everyone finished this unsatisfactory lunch, Ghana invited everyone to visit her energy cube store. Naturally, everyone did not refuse, but went to the Pokémon Center to put down their luggage first.
During this time, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but shudder after seeing Jigglypuff, especially when Xiaogang jumped in front of Miss Joy to show off. Gongsun Yan saw Jigglypuff take out the familiar mace from behind, and hurriedly went up to drag Xiaogang back.
Chapter 222 Master Jinbei
Everyone stood in front of a huge energy cube shop and raised their heads in unison. They didn't expect that the small shop Ghana mentioned was so big.
"Oh my god, what a small world!" Gongsun Yan silently complained in his heart. This was the place where he made the energy cube yesterday.
I swear to God, Gongsun Yan really just picked a store at random, but things turned out to be so coincidental, maybe this is the mutual attraction between Stand users.
As soon as we walked into the store, Ghana's mother came over to greet everyone. After learning that Xiaoyao would also participate in tomorrow's gorgeous competition, she generously allowed Xiaoyao to use the machines in the store at will, and the tree fruits could be sold at half price if needed.
Xiaoyao was planning to make a batch of new energy cubes for the Ugly fish to eat, so she borrowed the machine in the store. Ghana was also very enthusiastic in providing technical support and helping Xiaoyao select fruits.
However, picking and choosing in his own fruit shop is really something that Gongsun Yan is unable to do. Does this mean that the quality of his own fruit is good or bad?
However, Xiaozhi and Xiaosheng were not interested in making energy blocks, so they dragged Gongsun Yan, who was watching the show, to go train King Yan. Xiaozhi planned to let King Yan master the Swallow Return move to increase the success rate of gym challenges.
Gongsun Yan naturally had no objection. He also planned to find a place to try out mega evolution. After all, Gongsun Yan had not seen the specific form of mega evolution yet. Although Xiaozhi and the others had seen it, they had never tried it themselves.
If you want to know why, it is because Xiaozhi is a man of iron will. He said that he would not recall the old team in the Hoenn region and he really would not recall them, even if there was a mega evolution as bait.
Xiaogang's reason was that Onix was currently one of the top Pokémon in the Nibe Gym and he couldn't recall it at will, and his family was indeed a bit short of money. The amount of metal film that could wrap a large Pokémon like Onix was not a small number, even if Gongsun Yan could offer the cost price.
Not to mention Xiaoyao, Chicken Strong hasn't evolved yet, so just pass it.
After everyone found an empty space, Gongsun Yanxian took his set of key stones and giant swamp rocks and ran to the side to experiment, while Xiaozhi and Xiaosheng started teaching Yanfan first.
Gongsun Yan ran to the side, took out the tennis ball, released the Swampert inside, and put the Swampert Stone in his hand into the opponent's hand.
"Yo, Swampert, let's test whether we can mega evolve!"
Gongsun Yan held the key stone in his hand and shouted with all his might. Swampert also cooperated by roaring and raised the Swampert stone in his hand.
"Zi~"
However, what the people and Pokémon present did not expect was that as soon as they had the idea of MRGA evolution, the set of stones in their hands responded directly to them.
White bands of light extended from the two stones and spread towards each other with a very clear goal. Finally, they collided and merged in the middle.
"呷!" Swampert suddenly growled, and the light of evolution emanated from its whole body. The light bands extending from the two stones became wider. The light bands on Gongsun Yan's side did not change, but the light bands on Swampert's side turned into yellow and blue, as if corresponding to Swampert's attributes.
The evolution seemed to last very short, but it also felt very long. After the dazzling white light faded away, Mega Swampert, whose image had changed drastically, appeared in front of Gongsun Yan.
"Wow, this is so cool!" Gongsun Yan couldn't help but step forward to look at the transformed Swampert, and even couldn't help but feel the exaggeratedly muscular arms.
There is a saying that goes, moderate fitness attracts the opposite sex, while excessive fitness attracts the same sex. Gongsun Yan fully agrees with this. After all, Mega Swampert's strong arms are really too hard for men to control.
I have to say, the touch was so addictive that Gongsun Yan touched it for a full minute or two before reluctantly letting go. If it weren't for Swampert's strong resistance, Gongsun Yan might have touched it for a while longer.
"Ahem, I am a little bit out of control, but you have been looking at the old man over there for quite a long time, why don't you come out and meet him?" Gongsun Yan coughed twice, trying to cover up himself while asking questions to the woods beside him.
"Shuush~"
After a sound of leaves rubbing against each other, a white-haired old man walked out from behind the tree, leaning on a walking stick.
"I have no ill intentions. I just found some interesting things when I passed by here, so I stayed to take a look. Don't be too alarmed." The old man first explained his purpose, then turned to look at Gongsun Yan and spoke.
"That should be the legendary mega evolution. It's been very popular in the league recently. Judging from its appearance, it should be the mega evolution of Swampert."
