"As expected of Jinpei, the master of Hoenn's techniques, his reputation is well-deserved!" Gongsun Yan raised his eyebrows and praised.
"Oh? You, a youngster, have actually heard of my name? I thought you youngsters only remembered the quick-learning machine moves, and a stubborn guy like me should have been forgotten long ago." Jinbei shook his head in self-mockery.
"No, I don't think so!" Gongsun Yan said sternly, "Compared to a move machine, I still prefer to let Pokémon learn and master moves on their own. Although this takes longer, it is not very friendly to future strength improvement."
This is also what Gongsun Yan really thinks. If it weren't for his golden finger that could block the disadvantages of the move machine, Gongsun Yan probably wouldn't be so unscrupulous in letting his Pokémon learn moves. After all, Kakashi, who is said to have copied thousands of ninjutsu, usually relies on his Raikiri to make a living.
This also shows that the ancients were very wise. One trick was enough to conquer the world. The words left by our ancestors are usually correct.
"Hehe, I would believe what others say, but it's hard to say what you say. After all, it's your father who invented this moves machine." Jinbei slammed his cane to the ground, and the aura of a superior emanated from him.
"Hey, hey, hey, my dad doesn't mean to talk about me, and my dad never said that the invention of the moving machine will make you unemployed!" Gongsun Yan hurriedly distanced himself from his father.
"Of course, I just don't have to be unemployed." Gongsun Yan naturally didn't dare to say this out loud, but he could only say a few words silently in his heart.
Chapter 223: Learning Moves
Although current technology cannot produce a machine that can perform all the moves, who knows what will happen in the future?
However, the profession of teaching moves will not be replaced. After all, there is one move that cannot be learned with the help of a move machine, and that is the three great oath moves.
As we all know, they were not chosen as the Starter Three because they were able to learn the Oath Moves from all over the place, but they were given the ability to learn and use the Oath Moves only after they became the Starter Three.
Therefore, it is completely impossible to make a move machine for the three oath moves, because they are not retained in their blood memory, but another situation that cannot be explained by the current level of technology.
"Humph, that boy over there is your friend, right? He actually wants to use this method to make King Yan learn the Swallow Return move. It's simply wishful thinking! It just so happens that I am free today, so I will help you youngsters."
Jinbei turned his head with disdain, and walked towards Xiaozhi's position with an upright attitude. Although he kept scolding the two of them, his obviously faster pace showed that he was in a good mood.
"Tsk tsk, he's such an old man and still acting like a tsundere. He's really a child." Gongsun Yan silently criticized in his heart, and then followed with great interest. He was also very interested in the oath move.
Jinbei walked up to Xiaozhi and Xiaosheng and started his verbal attack directly. In a few words, he made the two of them dizzy. They bowed down and asked each other for guidance.
Jinbei didn't say much, and led everyone to a training ground with many targets.
According to the other party, this venue is a special training device he developed specifically for teaching the Yan Fan move.
Jinbei told everyone the secrets of the Swallow Return technique without hiding anything, and even released his own Pidgeot to demonstrate it.
Everyone present was shocked by this smooth operation. Although the overall strength of this Pidgeot was not high, its proficiency in the moves was really high. A simple move like "Swallow Return" could actually increase its speed, and its accuracy was impeccable.
However, after seeing the Pidgeot released by Jinbei, Gongsun Yan came directly to Xiaozhi and said meaningfully: "Look at this Pidgeot, did you remember anything?"
"Ah? What did you say?" Xiaozhi obviously didn't expect Pidgeot to say this, and looked at Gongsun Yan with confusion on his face.
"Haha, it's nothing. Just concentrate on practicing." Gongsun Yan sneered twice.
As a result, Xiaozhi actually didn't ask what Gongsun Yan said, and turned to look at the training ground.
"Haha, scumbag." Gongsun Yan silently added the title of scumbag to Xiaozhi. It had only been a short time since Pidgeot left him, and they had agreed to go over to see each other, but in the end, they all gathered here.
After reading the whole set of explanations, Xiaozhi also started to practice the Swallow Return. The practice went smoothly at the beginning, but he soon ran into trouble. It is difficult for the Royal Swallow to ensure that its wings do not touch the horizontal bar when flying at low altitude.
However, even Jinbe had no way to deal with this matter. He could only let the Dawangyan practice more. Fortunately, Xiaozhi, like the Dawangyan, would never give up easily and became more courageous as they faced more setbacks.
"By the way, kid, aren't you tired at all?" Jinbei stood beside Gongsun Yan with a puzzled look on his face, looking him up and down.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Gongsun Yan expressed his confusion.
"The duration of your mega evolution is too long! And why do I feel like you don't even feel tired at all?" Jinbei said.
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan suddenly realized that he had not yet released his mega evolution. No wonder he felt it was difficult to stand. He had not even fought, but his energy consumption was so great.
"Swampert, exit the mega evolution state first. If you continue like this, I feel like I won't be able to work anymore." Gongsun Yan raised his right hand and shouted to Swampert.
"Gah!" A white light flashed, and Swampert returned to its original form. However, Swampert didn't have much time left. The two Pokémon had already greeted all the bars, and no store was willing to go against the wind.
So Gongsun Yan could only take Swampert and take another car back to Shangrao. But it didn’t matter, the bomber didn’t call the police, which meant he had enough time to escape.
Swampert, who had his mega evolution canceled, was also a little exhausted, half-knelt on the ground gasping for breath. Gongsun Yan was in a similar situation, because it was his first time using mega evolution, and the amount of energy consumed was terrifying. Fortunately, Gongsun Yan was keen on exercising, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to complete the parasitism.
"Haha, you have really good physical strength, you've recovered in just a short while." Jinbei praised Gongsun Yan very proudly, and in fact he almost popped his eyes out.
He never expected that Gongsun Yan had such outstanding physical fitness. He could still stay awake after using and maintaining mega evolution for a long time, which made him feel very strange.
"Hehe, thank you for your concern, senior." Gongsun Yan touched his head with a smile and moved closer to Jinbei.
"Don't get so close to me. Just tell me what's on your mind. I've promised you, kid." Jinbei pushed Gongsun Yan's face away and said unhappily.
"Hehe, to be honest, I would like to ask you to teach our Pokémon the oath moves." Gongsun Yan laughed twice and then became serious in an instant.
"You seem very confident. Fine, I'll help you. Let's release that kid's Pokémon as well. It won't make much difference whether you teach one more or one less. But I'll make it clear in advance. I'll only teach you for one day. How much you can learn depends on your talent."
Although Jinbei doesn't seem to be easy to get along with, his personality is actually the type that is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. In a sense, he can be considered the type who is tired of being a freeloader.
However, it must be said that Jinbe's teaching of moves is really not in vain. Xiaozhi's King Swallow actually learned the Swallow Return move in just one day, not to mention his accuracy.
There are also good news about the learning of Oath moves. Xiaozhi's Lizard has barely learned the Oath of Grass, but it is still in a state of sometimes working and sometimes not. As for Swampert, because the move is incompatible with him, he has not been able to formally learn it, but he has also made visible progress.
Jinbei also kept his promise and turned around and left as soon as the sun set, but he did not drive everyone out of the training ground. He had already said everything that needed to be said, and all that was left was to practice more.
Chapter 224 Visitors from Yuanzhu City
"I'm gonna start now!"
Gongsun Yan and others sat in Ghana's kitchen, wolfing down the stew carefully prepared by Ghana's mother.
"Wow, this stew tastes so good, and the ingredients look so fresh!" Xiaoyao kept stuffing the stew into her mouth, praising Ghana's mother's cooking skills while eating.
"Hahaha, eat more if you like it." Ghana's mother was also very happy. She kept asking everyone to eat more. She was also very happy that so many people came to eat today.
Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi did not say much, but just concentrated on eating. They had been trained too hard during the day and now they finally had something to eat, so they had no time to talk.
After a while, Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi finished three big bowls of food, which stunned everyone around them. But it made Ghana's mother so happy that wrinkles appeared on her face from smiling.
"I'm full!" After finishing his meal, Xiaozhi threw away his bowl and chopsticks, picked up Pikachu beside him and rushed out to train.
"Oh, Xiaozhi, you are too impatient. I am full too. Thank you for the treat!" Gongsun Yan was not as anxious as Xiaozhi. He greeted him honestly and then walked out of the room.
However, after walking out of the room, Gongsun Yan did not go to find Xiaozhi to practice together. The main reason was that he found that he was of no use at the side and was even a hindrance. So he simply released Swampert and went to train by himself.
However, Gongsun Yan was not idle either. He had a more important thing to do, so he borrowed Ghana's phone and dialed a familiar number.
"Hey, what's the result?" Gongsun Yan asked Gongsun Che on the screen.
"Well, the test results are out. Did you find this child in Shuijing City?" Gongsun Che lowered his head and flipped through the documents in his hand, then asked.
"Oh? From your tone, it seems that my guess is correct?" Gongsun Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Could it be that his idea came true?
“Yes, we have indeed detected fluctuations of the sacred fire in this child’s body, which are extremely similar to the remaining flames on the burnt tower.” Gongsun Che replied.
The Scorched Tower, once the most famous building in Yuanzhu City, was originally the Bell Tower. The reason why it became the most famous building is that the Phoenix King, the patron saint of Chengdu, once lived on the top of the tower.
Perhaps it is because human nature is greedy. Three hundred years ago, people who had coveted the great power of Ho-oh rushed into the tower and wanted to seize the power of Ho-oh. But how could they challenge the strength of Ho-oh?
The Ho-Oh, offended by humans, burned down the entire Bell Bell Tower in anger, which is the origin of the Burnt Tower. Three unidentified Pokémon died in the fire. The Ho-Oh was a man who clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments. He resurrected the three Pokémon with the sacred fire and took them as his messengers, which is the origin of the Three Sacred Beasts.
This incident also made Ho-Oh completely disappointed with humans, and he decided to leave the Bell Bell Tower. From then on, no one saw Ho-Oh again until three hundred years later, when a trainer named Satoshi embarked on a journey with his Pokémon.
The people of Yuanzhu City also realized their mistake, and built a bell tower, and hung a bell that was said to be able to summon the Phoenix King. Unfortunately, the Phoenix King never returned here.
The reason why the previous champion-level slime was believed to have been killed by Ho-Oh was actually because the alliance saw the sacred fire that had not yet burned out in the deep pit, and no trace of the slime was found nearby, so everyone believed that the slime was taken away by Ho-Oh.
Why? Even dead Pokémon can be resurrected by Holy Fire, not to mention the living Slime.
Gongsun Yan laughed out loud when he heard the news. It turned out that he really had picked up a big gift. How was this different from giving it away for free?
However, Gongsun Che quickly interrupted Gongsun Yan's sweet dream, mainly because the guy in front of him with a lewd expression was too eye-catching.
"Don't think too much. This is not the same stinky mud as before. It's just a descendant at most." Gongsun Che said this coldly.
"Ah?" Gongsun Yan was sent back to earth directly from heaven.
“That’s right, there is no trace of purification by the sacred fire on this stinky mud. There is only a little bit of breath left. At most, its talent will be better in the future.” Gongsun Che continued.
"Oh, that's not bad either. It's okay if you have good talent. It's also good to be a second-team Pokémon." Gongsun Yan forced himself to comfort himself after hearing this.
“Haha, what are you thinking about? Although this stinky mud has not been baptized by the sacred fire, the breath of the sacred fire makes it unable to absorb even any toxins. Even if it is eaten into the stomach, it will be digested immediately and used to improve the body’s strength.” Gongsun Che immediately gave Gongsun Yan another stab.
"Puff! What's the use of a stinky slime that can't use poison-type moves!" Gongsun Yan shouted in despair.
"It's up to you. I'll send the stinky mud to you now. Pay attention." Gongsun Che hung up the phone and a diving ball appeared on the Pokémon transporter next to him.
"Haha, this is a waste of my time." Gongsun Yan picked up the Poké Ball filled with stinky mud, the corners of his mouth twitching constantly.
However, what Gongsun Yan didn't know was that at this time, two distinguished guests, or uninvited guests, had come to Dewen Company.
One of the visitors had a slicked-back hair, and even with a head full of white hair he looked so energetic. He was dressed very delicately and had a walking stick in his hand.
The other one was much simpler, wearing a monk's robe and having a bald head, with his hands upright in front of him, looking exactly like an abbot.
"Hey, how come you two have time to come and visit my little temple?" President Zfuchi at the side also came forward to greet the two.
"No need to be polite. We are here just to take that stinky mud away. I wonder if President Zifuchi can give us a favor? I will reward you handsomely in the future." The monk bowed politely.
"Oh, this may not be convenient." President Zfuchi said with great embarrassment.
"Hmm? Does President Zifuchi think that we can't pay the corresponding compensation? We in Yuanzhu City, the Song family, still have some savings, so you can rest assured." The old man said very domineeringly.
"That's right. This is what we in the Linglingta clan mean. If President Zifuchi is willing to give up, you can also choose any of our savings of hundreds of years." The monk said directly.
It was not difficult to tell from their statements that they were all from Yuanzhu City, representing the monks of Lingling Tower and the Song family, who had been the controllers of Yuanzhu Dojo in Yuanzhu City for many years. The purpose of their visit this time was to get Gongsun Yan's stinky mud.
Chapter 225: We are all one family
The Song family of Yuanzhu City and the monks of Lingling Tower are well-known for their loyalty to the Phoenix King, but those traitors came from among them, and they are extremely regretful for this.
After "personally" helping those tribesmen to be "decent", the two families quietly began their own journey of atonement. Not only did they rebuild the Bell Bell Tower, they even went to places around the world where there were traces of the Phoenix King's arrival to collect items. They did all this in order to gain the Phoenix King's forgiveness and recognition one day.
The traces left by the burning of the Holy Fire of the Phoenix King and all the corresponding data are naturally complete. They even tested it themselves, and the data is even more complete than that in the alliance database.
Gongsun Che had to contact the other party before in order to make a comparison, because it required too many procedures to retrieve the data from the alliance, and he was not Dr. Oak, so in order to speed up, he naturally needed an expert to do it.
Gongsun Che was naturally prepared for the other party's possible actions, but he did not expect that the other party would come so soon, and the one who came was the head of the Song family of this generation and the current abbot of Lingling Tower.
"This is not a question of compensation." President Zfuchi said with difficulty.
"Let me explain. Let's go to my laboratory to talk first. It's not very nice here." Gongsun Che also walked out of the laboratory.
No one had any objection to this, and they didn't care about being watched while standing in the hall.
However, there was a small incident along the way. It turned out that a receptionist at Dewen Company was actually a devout believer. She courageously ran over to ask for the abbot's autograph. The abbot naturally agreed and just joked that he actually had fans in such a far place.
This little episode passed quickly, and everyone came to Gongsun Che's laboratory. The laboratory was now empty, and all the original researchers had been asked to leave.
"This is the data of that slime. I didn't expect that the slime purified by the Phoenix King actually survived and even reproduced." The abbot said as he looked at the data on the screen in front of him.
Although many people believe that the Muk is not dead, some people think that the Muk could not survive the sacred fire. After all, the Muk could no longer be put into the Poké Ball at that time, and the Ho-Oh's mercy is only for Pokémon, not even for humans.
The abbot was naturally a supporter of this idea, but the scene before him made him realize that his idea was wrong, and instead he admired the kindness of the King of Phoenix even more.
If Gongsun Yan were here, he would definitely complain that the old monk’s PTSD symptoms are too severe. Is it really useless to just put on tape instead of seeing a doctor?
"That's right. According to my analysis, this stinky mud should be the first generation descendant of that stinky mud, so the aura of the sacred fire in its body cannot be so strong. And the other party should not be from the stinky mud clan, otherwise there would be no toxins left in its body, and it couldn't even give birth to offspring with that stinky mud."
Gongsun Che pulled up a data chart and began to explain it to the three people. The head of the Song family and the abbot were watching it with great interest and would comment from time to time. Poor President Zifuchi, a pure businessman, he couldn't understand the data chart at all, and was embarrassed to say it out loud. After all, the other three were watching it very enthusiastically.
"Okay, it won't be too late to look at these things after we get that stinky mud. Xiao Che, what are you talking about? Are you trying to frame us?" The head of the Song family lost his patience after looking at it for a while and asked Gongsun Che directly.
"Brother, what are you talking about? I would never cheat anyone but my own family." Gongsun Che said with a smile.
That's right, in fact, Gongsun Che and the Song family have nothing to do with each other. This is mainly because Kikuko and Professor Oak are close, and Kanto and Chengdu are on the same continent. Kikuko's family and the Song family are both ghost families, so the relationship is naturally very close, and intermarriage is also very normal.
Before Gongsun Che decided to go to Hoenn, his relationship with Kikuko was not so strained. In addition, because his family lived in Chengdu, he had many connections with the Matsu family. His Gengar was even a brother of the Gengar of the head of the Matsu family. Once their relationship got good, they naturally became relatives.
Of course, no one, including Kikuko, would admit that they recognized each other as relatives just to get closer to Professor Oak. After all, the head of the Matsu family calls Kikuko "Aunt", and Gongsun Che calls Professor Oak "Master", and master and apprentice are like father and son.
"Oh? Does that mean I can easily cheat this old man?" the abbot asked from the side, but his tone was very relaxed, and it was obvious that he had a close relationship with Gongsun Che.
"No, no, I won't lie to you, Master. It's mainly because that Muddy Pokémon is a Pokémon captured by my son, and I can't make the decision for him." Gongsun Che replied with a smile.
"Oh, it's Xiaoyan. I've seen him once since he was born, and I don't think I've seen him again. It's just right, can you please ask him to give up that stinky mud? I'll give him everything he wants, and I'll also give him a gift from his uncle." The head of the Song family generously promised a lot of things.
In fact, he didn't have such great power to control those things in the family, but before he was called here, he received instructions from the elders in the family to bring back the stinky mud at all costs.
He was originally prepared to wait for a good price. After all, their things were not blown by the wind, so he would save as much as possible. But knowing that it was his nephew's thing? He instantly became the biggest traitor.
"Well, it's the same here. If they don't have what Xiaoyan wants, he can come here to look. Even the mega stones that the alliance hasn't revealed yet, we have quite a lot of stock in our warehouse. He can choose whatever he wants." The abbot said generously.
President Zfuchi standing by almost popped his eyes out. He knew how many treasures these two companies had. After all, they had hundreds of years of heritage. Even if they were not as good as his Dewen Company, they were almost the same.
Moreover, he had thought that the two families were at odds with each other and were planning to compete with each other to get the stinky mud. It turned out that they were all acting. In fact, they had already colluded with each other for a long time. It would not matter which family got it. If the owner was not Gongsun Yan, who had a great relationship with them, he might have been fooled by them and sold it at a very low price.
