Just when President Zfuchi was lamenting that these guys were insidious, Gongsun Che still shook his head and rejected their kindness in the face of such a great temptation.
Chapter 226 Second Review
"No, this is not about money and feelings!" Gongsun Che interrupted the two people who were about to add to the ante and said directly that this was not such a simple matter.
"Okay, then we'll listen carefully to what you have to say." The head of the Song family and the abbot also suppressed their dissatisfaction and planned to listen carefully to what Gongsun Che had to say.
"Thank you for your understanding. The main reason is that this matter involves too many things and we have to be cautious." Gongsun Che first explained, then changed the subject and began to tell the story.
"Brother, you should know the boy who once saw the Phoenix King, Xiaozhi, who also attracted Suicune when he was in Vermillion City."
"Well, I remember that kid Mina-kun specifically explained to us that the kid seemed to have a very good relationship with Suicune." The head of the Song family said after hesitating for a while.
"Yes, I also remember this child. If he was not interested in this, I would have him join the Bell Tower, and he would have taken my place in the future." The abbot also interjected.
After Gongsun Che finished speaking, he also showed a lightning symbol engraved on his left hand and said, "I think you haven't forgotten this."
"Of course, this is the mark you received when you were recognized by Thunder God. It caused a sensation at the time," said the abbot.
"What does this have to do with that stinky mud?" The head of the Song family couldn't help but say.
"No, it's very relevant." Gongsun Che silently pulled his sleeves down to cover his wrists.
"You can't feel it, but I feel the same aura in Xiaoyan and Xiaozhi, even stronger than me..."
"What!"x2
Seeing the two people in front of him who had been expressionless showing extremely surprised expressions, Gongsun Che nodded and finished what he had not finished saying.
"If I'm not mistaken, Xiaoyan has the same mark of Thunder God as me, and there is also a burning feeling, which should be the mark of Entei. And the boy named Xiaozhi has the mark of Suicune, and there is even a more noble aura. Combining all of this, it should be the mark of the Phoenix King."
"That's why I feel like I can't just hand that stinky slime over to you, because this might be the closest we'll ever get to Ho-Oh."
After hearing what Gongsun Che said, the abbot and the head of the Song family looked at each other and immediately changed the subject. They actually started talking about feelings with Gongsun Che, and all they talked about was how united the several families were.
Originally, Gongsun Che was arguing with them with a smile on his face, but in the end the abbot actually suggested that Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi come to his place to become monks together. This made Gongsun Che's face turn black, and he decisively drove them out.
You know, Gongsun Che only has this one son. Isn't this directly cutting off his family's roots? Xiaozhi is also the one favored by his teacher, Professor Oak. Asking him to do his teacher's job is probably a disrespect to his teacher and ancestors.
The two people who were kicked out were not angry. They even asked Gongsun Che with a smile to think about it and tell them whenever he changed his mind. They would welcome him at any time.
The result was that Gongsun Che directly released his Metagross and used his telekinesis to throw them out of the laboratory door.
After the door of the laboratory was closed, Gongsun Che's originally tense face relaxed instantly, and he laughed out loud.
"Huh? What's wrong with you? What are you laughing at?" President Zfuchi asked curiously.
"Nothing, I just remembered something funny. It's not easy to fool them both." Gongsun Che said with a sigh.
"What? Are you saying that those marks of mythical beasts were all made up by you?" President Zfuchi was stunned. He didn't expect that Gongsun Che, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also lie.
“No, no, no, I didn’t lie about those things. I just exaggerated the importance of that stinky mud…” Gongsun Che smiled mysteriously, and a burn mark flashed on his right hand.
.............................................................................................
"Hey, Xiaozhi, are you really not going to watch it?" Gongsun Yan asked in shock.
"Of course, I have to go to special training first. Then I will cheer for Xiaoyao on TV." Xiaozhi said as he ran out with Pikachu, and the Pikachu in Gongsun Yan's arms also ran with Pikachu.
"Hiss~, hold it in. You can't do anything to the Pokémon you chose." Gongsun Yan's eyes twitched continuously as he suppressed his inner anger.
Xiaogang and Xiaosheng on the side also laughed awkwardly and immediately changed the subject, starting to worry whether Xiaoyao could pass the first examination. After all, they hadn't seen Xiaoyao training in the past two days.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyao has prepared a trump card for this gorgeous competition." Gongsun Yan told everyone not to worry, he had already made a plan for Xiaoyao.
After hearing Gongsun Yan's confident words, Xiaogang and Xiaosheng felt relieved. After all, Gongsun Yan was not a man who boasted, but they were still a little worried.
However, Xiaoyao's subsequent performance shocked the entire audience. Many audience members stood up, and even Miss Joy, the referee, stood up.
"What! The Clownfish released by contestant Xiaoyao actually evolved into Milotic on the field!" Host Vivian's shocked words spread throughout the venue through the microphone.
That's right, the performance Xiaoyao prepared this time was the evolution show of the Clownfish. She planned this show after discovering signs of evolution of the Clownfish a few days ago. In order to be accurate, Xiaoyao also specially asked Gongsun Yan to investigate.
The result was naturally a great success. The Milotic that emerged from the mist deeply attracted the attention of everyone present, and its charming body continued to exude a sense of temptation in all directions.
"It's there, an extremely rare full score!" With Vivian's exclamation, the full score of 30 points appeared on the big screen.
After seeing this score, Xiaogang and Xiaosheng cheered immediately, and Ghana in the backstage also cheered for Xiaoyao.
There is no need to elaborate on the performances of the contestants after Xiaoyao, but a contestant who was obviously Musashi in disguise unexpectedly received full marks for his operation of destroying Fenglingling.
However, compared to Musashi's arrogance on the field, Gongsun Yan could be said to have forcibly suppressed his right hand that was about to throw the Poké Ball. The previous noise really made him irritated, and it was even more harsh than the sound of nails scratching on a blackboard.
However, a wicked person like Musashi would naturally not go far in the gorgeous competition. He was defeated by Xiaoyao in the second round, and Fenglingling's attack didn't even hit Milotic before he was eliminated.
Chapter 227 Waking up in the middle of the night
So in the end, the people competing for the Shuijing Ribbon were Xiaoyao and Ghana. Although Ghana's Puff Pig's strength should not be underestimated, and it can even be said that it is slightly better than Xiaoyao's Milotic, Milotic's body is too slippery, and Puff Pig's telekinesis can't even control her.
The appearance of Milotic adds so much points that every time Milotic uses a move, Ghana's score will drop. After all, Milotic's moves are both beautiful and powerful.
In comparison, the appearance of the Puff Pig is not that attractive. In fact, due to the lack of control over its telekinetic moves, it forced Milotic to perform several gorgeous performances.
All these factors combined together resulted in Ghana's points being deducted before the time was up, and Xiaoyao directly won the victory of this magnificent competition.
When Xiaoyao won the championship, Xiaozhi, Gongsun Yan and the other two who had just arrived went on stage to congratulate Xiaoyao. Ghana was not discouraged by the defeat, nor did he blame Pupu Pig for it. Instead, he immediately regrouped and was determined to compete with Xiaoyao again in the future.
Just like that, Xiaoyao won the third ribbon, and everyone's journey to Shuijing City came to an end... No wonder!
"I say, what the hell is this!" Gongsun Yan sighed silently as he looked at his bed that was burned to ashes.
After Xiaoyao obtained the ribbon, everyone ran out to celebrate together. After the celebration, everyone went back to their homes. Ghana returned to his home, and Gongsun Yan and others naturally returned to the Pokémon Center.
Since Gongsun Yan did not cancel his room, Xiaozhi and his friends simply asked for a room that could accommodate four people. Don't think that this kind of room is not good, the area of this four-person room is about twice as big as Gongsun Yan's room.
Because they were busy all day, Gongsun Yan and others did not waste any time. After washing up, they went straight back to their rooms to sleep. Gongsun Yan entered the game on time at night. He only attacked the base of the Magma Team yesterday and did not attack the base of the Water Fleet.
While Gongsun Yan was constantly looting supplies in the game, a burning feeling surged into his heart, and then he was directly kicked out of the game.
When Gongsun Yan opened his eyes, he found that his bed was on fire and he was lying in the flames, with that stinky mud lying next to him.
Gongsun Yan, who saw this scene, quickly started to think, trying to understand what was going on here. However, his body's instinct told him: What are you still standing there for, you idiot? Get out of the fire!
So, Gongsun Yan somersaulted off the bed, well, he landed on his face, but that wasn't the point. The point was that Gongsun Yan quickly took out Swampert's Poké Ball and used it to put out the fire.
Finally, the scene at the beginning appeared. Gongsun Yan looked at his unrecognizable bed in silence, while the stinky mud at his feet didn't seem to be woken up at all. He was still sleeping soundly, with sporadic sparks constantly coming out of his body.
"Well, it looks like I don't need to find the source of the fire. The only problem now is where I should stay tonight!" Gongsun Yan pondered for a few words, then slapped himself in the face. Why did his thoughts go astray again?
"Okay, let's analyze the situation. After testing, this stinking mud does not have any toxins in its body, and naturally there is no methane. So it is unlikely that it caused a fire." Gongsun Yan analyzed seriously.
"Besides, biogas is just a flammable and explosive gas. It will never spontaneously combust without a fire source."
"Plus the sparks coming out of the stinky mud, there is only one truth. Even though it sounds ridiculous, if we rule out all the impossibilities, the remaining one, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth."
"That is, this stinky mud gained the fire attribute after losing the poison attribute?!" At this point, Gongsun Yan's tone changed. This conjecture was too bold, but he couldn't find any words to refute it.
The sacred fire of the Phoenix King can bring people back to life, turn bones into flesh, and change attributes. It's no big deal.
"Haha, I must be crazy." Gongsun Yan pinched his eyebrows and suddenly felt a pain in his trigeminal nerve.
In desperation, Gongsun Yan had to take out a heat-resistant ball and put the stinky mud in it. The previous diving ball had been burned by the flames that erupted from the stinky mud, and the wreckage was still lying in the ruins.
The Heat-Resistant Ball is a Poké Ball that has never appeared in the game, not even in the anime, but it does exist in the Pokémon world. There are two other Poké Balls invented in the same batch, namely the Cold-Resistant Ball and the Insulating Ball.
Although the Cold-Resistant Ball has never appeared in games or animations, the Insulating Ball has appeared. Once a special member of Team Rocket used the Insulating Ball to capture the Lightning Bird in an abandoned power station.
And from the name, we can see that these three Poké Balls are aimed at the three sacred birds in the Kanto region, Moltres, Articuno and Zapdos. These three Poké Balls were not developed by the League, but were independently developed by Team Rocket. After being cracked and promoted by the League, they gradually became the mainstream special Poké Balls.
Compared to special Poké Balls such as the weight ball made from round orange fruit, this special Poké Ball that can be mass-produced is even more popular among trainers.
It was because of the inspiration from Team Rocket that Silver Corporation and Devin Corporation developed various special Poké Balls, enriching the types of Poké Balls. It can be said that Team Rocket changed the entire world.
Team Rocket also had a new Poké Ball in development, but gave up due to raw material issues. It was the Dark Ball that Mewtwo had once used, an evil Poké Ball that could be used to steal other people's Pokémon.
However, before being completed by Mewtwo, Team Rocket gave up the development of the Dark Orbs, and the only six remaining Dark Orbs were stolen by Team Rocket's traitor, Bixias.
Although the production of the Dark Ball requires a lot of rare materials, Team Rocket, which spans the Kanto and Johto regions, naturally doesn't care. The main reason is that each Dark Ball requires a Master Ball as raw material, and the success rate is less than half. Regardless of success or not, the Master Ball will be scrapped, and Team Rocket can't afford to do so.
However, there are no Dark Balls in the Pokémon world now. Mewtwo destroyed all the Dark Balls he made and all the experimental data. Bixias' Dark Balls were also all destroyed in his attempt to capture Celebi.
Since then, all the Dark Orbs have been banished into history, and it is unlikely that they will reappear unless Mewtwo changes his mind.
Chapter 228 What? I'm not the protagonist?
It was late at night, and Gongsun Yan didn't want to go look for Miss Joy, so he simply took out his sleeping bag and slept on the ground, where he wasn't cold.
Soon Gongsun Yan entered the game again, but this time he was not in a hurry to search for supplies. Instead, he observed the data of Chou Ni.
Slime (Fire), a mud Pokémon, seems to have been baptized by the Phoenix King. While losing the poison attribute, it gained the fire attribute. Its characteristic changed from poisonous hands to a body of fire. No toxins can remain in its body forever, and because of insufficient control over its characteristics, it may release flames at any time.
ps: The flame of this Pokémon has some characteristics of sacred fire and is extremely difficult to extinguish.
"Hiss, it's so terrifying!" Gongsun Yan took a breath of cold air. The fire from the Phoenix King directly created a new species.
Gongsun Yan suddenly thought of something and took out all the skills machines in his backpack and tried them one by one. He found that he could not learn any poison-related skills, but he could learn a lot of fire-related skills.
"Well, I feel like I can use it to trick my opponent." Gongsun Yan looked at the heat-resistant ball in his hand, with a strange light flashing in his eyes. He had an idea that seemed like he could use it to trick his opponent.
A stinky slime that can use a lot of fire-based moves can definitely trick the opponent, and Gongsun Yan discovered that the moves that the slime learned as it leveled up still had the same names, but the effects of the moves had changed.
Take the sludge attack as an example. Originally, the stinky mud was supposed to throw out a piece of sludge to attack the opponent, but it was directly changed into a piece of burning mud, which has a chance of burning the opponent after attacking.
This discovery also made Gongsun Yan very happy. After all, the name of the move remained the same, but the moves were different. It was simply impossible to guard against!
Gongsun Yan, who felt like he had found a treasure, had a smile on his face until he woke up in the morning. He even smiled when he paid the compensation for the room, and even looked a little silly.
This made Miss Joy, who was keeping the accounts, feel a little uneasy. She even wondered if the amount of the fine was too large. Even a rich second-generation would be shocked when she saw it.
When Xiaozhi and the others woke up, they were also very curious. When they asked Gongsun Yan, Gongsun Yan did not hide anything. After all, they were traveling together, and no matter how special Mud's ability was, it would have to be used sooner or later. In order to avoid trouble later, it would be better to speak out now.
After knowing the peculiarity of Muk, Xiaozhi and the others exclaimed a few words, but they were just envious. They were also very happy that Gongsun Yan had another talented Pokémon.
Xiaoyao even pretended to be very discouraged, saying that Gongsun Yan had taken away all of their luck, which was why they were able to capture so many rare Pokémon.
Gongsun Yan also noticed that Xiaoyao was acting funny, and he had his own way of dealing with foodies. A cup of special parfait made Xiaoyao smile happily.
However, after Xiaozhi learned that this stinky mud was related to Ho-Oh, he once again talked about the ill-fated relationship between him and Ho-Oh. Although Gongsun Yan and Xiaogang knew this story, Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng listened to it with gusto.
When Xiaozhi got to the end of his speech, he seemed to suddenly think of something. He rummaged through his backpack and took out a feather of a dull color from the corner of the backpack.
"What'up? Rainbow feather? Where did you get it?" Before Xiaozhi could say anything, Gongsun Yan looked at the feather and screamed out.
"Ah, Xiaoyan, do you know this thing? I found this when I was traveling somewhere after participating in the Silver Conference and standing on a cliff to look at the scenery."
"I don't know why, but I always had the urge to pick up this feather. As soon as I picked it up, I saw the Phoenix King. I casually put the feather in my backpack until I remembered it just now."
Seeing Xiaozhi touching his head embarrassedly, Gongsun Yan just wanted to retire. What was he playing at? He was a reborn person with a golden finger who had gone through many dangers to finally get a young Rayquaza, but Xiaozhi just got it for free!
And can Rayquaza's scales be compared with Ho-Oh's feathers? Rayquaza's scales can at most intimidate Pokémon in the wild, and at best, let the other party come to help once when necessary.
What about the Phoenix King? In addition to being able to summon the Phoenix King, you can also avoid death once. No matter how dead you are, even if your bones are crushed and ashes are scattered, you don't have to be afraid. A rainbow feather will directly revive you on the spot.
These are not the only things that are important. The important things are yet to come. Those who possess rainbow feathers can take part in the assessment of the Phoenix King. Those who pass the assessment can become the Rainbow Brave, have the power to command the three sacred beasts at will, and can even summon the Phoenix King to fight for them. It's simply outrageous.
"***"
Gongsun Yan looked at the Rainbow Feather, then at Xiaozhi, then at the Rainbow Feather, then at Xiaozhi, and couldn't help but swear. It turned out that the Xiaozhi in front of him was not the Xiaozhi in the anime, but the Xiaozhi in "I Choose You!"?
"So, is this the feather of Ho-Oh?" Xiaosheng looked at the rainbow feather in Xiaozhi's hand, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
"Yes, this is the feather of the Phoenix King, and it is not an ordinary feather. If a person with an impure heart holds the rainbow feather, the feather will instantly lose all its luster."
Gongsun Yan said slowly, and after hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Xiaosheng's hand, which was originally about to take it to have a look, froze, and he pulled it back as if he had been electrocuted.
"Don't worry too much. It won't be a problem for most people to hold it. At most, it will remain half-lit. Although you are a little arrogant, you are not a bad person. You can still touch it."
Gongsun Yan also comforted Xiaosheng, but Xiaosheng still didn't dare to take over. After all, he didn't know what the identification criteria for this rainbow feather were.
"Hey, Xiaoyan, you mentioned the consequences of two types of people holding the Rainbow Feather, then what if it is held by a person with a pure heart?" Xiaogang asked from the side, but his tone was a little strange.
"Of course it will emit all its brilliance and be dazzling!" Gongsun Yan said without hesitation.
"Um, is it like this?" Xiaozhi's weak voice came from the side.
"Hmm, hm?!" Gongsun Yan's eyes were as big as copper bells. Without even moving his body, he turned his neck from 90 degrees to the right to 90 degrees to the left. The end result was that Gongsun Yan twisted his neck and screamed in pain.
But Gongsun Yan couldn't care less about this little thing now. He looked at the rainbow feather in Xiaozhi's hand, which was as bright as a white woven lantern, with a confused look on his face. His eight-core brain froze directly.
Chapter 229 Xiaozhi's Second Assessment
