Gongsun Yan is holding this mentality now. It doesn’t matter what he catches, as long as he is happy.
So, until dawn, no Pokémon took the bait...
Chapter 247: The Tired Ray Sky Seat
"Xiao Yan, you're not in a good state now. You didn't sleep well last night!" Xiao Gang asked worriedly as he looked at Gongsun Yan, who was obviously different from them.
"It's okay~" Gongsun Yan was in doubt about his life. He even wanted to break the fishing rod in his hand to show his determination to never go fishing again.
However, the props in the game cannot be destroyed. Gongsun Yan knocked the fishing rod against his leg, which hurt himself so much that he had no choice but to give up.
But fortunately, Gongsun Yan did not break the fishing rod. After all, he had made this vow many times in his previous life, and each time he made it, he broke a fishing rod.
Several years passed one after another, and there were already more than ten broken fishing rods in the pile of groceries. Each of them was bought by Gongsun Yan with a month's salary. After making the oath, Gongsun Yan would feel itchy within half a month, and would rush to buy a new fishing rod, thinking that this would be the last time.
Occasionally when cleaning, Gongsun Yan would sigh when he saw those fishing rods that died heroically. Although the reason he didn't have a girlfriend was because he was afraid he couldn't afford to support her, a few of these fishing rods could be worth a new model bag.
So now there is a fishing rod that never breaks, and the effect is surprisingly good. Gongsun Yan has really found a treasure and saved a lot of money.
Hearing Gongsun Yan's voice that didn't sound like he was fine, Xiaozhi and the others on the side became very worried. However, they didn't know what had happened and they didn't know how to comfort Gongsun Yan. They thought of many ways to comfort Gongsun Yan, but none of them worked.
Even Xiaozhi hit a minefield. He remembered that Gongsun Yan liked fishing, and Green Ridge City was also a coastal city, so he invited Gongsun Yan to go fishing after the gym challenge was over.
The consequence was that the low pressure around Gongsun Yan became even heavier, and Xiaozhi was so scared that he didn't dare to continue speaking. Everyone walked towards the cosmic center of Green Ridge City in a very strange atmosphere.
As for why they were going to the center of the universe? Because today was the day when a manned rocket was launched, and the twins of the Green Ridge Gym had the sun rock and moon rock from the universe as their trump cards, so they would not miss such a major historical event.
After hearing the news, Xiaosheng, a well-read man, naturally would not miss such a grand event, and pulled everyone to watch.
Xiaozhi and Gongsun Yan also wanted to go find the Green Ridge Gym Leader, so they didn't refuse. It didn't matter to Gongsun Yan, after all, the gym was there, and it made no difference whether they challenged it earlier or later.
But it’s different for Xiaozhi, the battle maniac. If the two things of challenging a gym and watching a rocket launch are placed in front of him, he will definitely run to challenge the gym without thinking, without any hesitation.
Xiaosheng was also very excited along the way. Even though he was somewhat restrained by the low pressure surrounding Gongsun Yan, he was still very interested in sharing the glorious history of the Green Ridge Universe Center with everyone.
In the Pokémon world, the famous weather satellite [Sunflower] and manned space rocket [Hō-Oh 3] were both launched from the center of the universe and successfully completed their missions.
"That's all thanks to Rayquaza's mercy. They will generally ignore anything that doesn't hit them directly." Gongsun Yan on the side suddenly said something, interrupting Xiaosheng's explanation.
Xiaosheng's face turned green when his chanting was interrupted by Gongsun Yan, but he had no room to refute, because Rayquaza guards the atmosphere of the Pokémon planet, and humans can only launch satellites and rockets when Rayquaza is in a good mood, otherwise they will be shot down directly.
Gongsun Yan, who had accomplished the feat of making the audience lose interest with just one word, continued to sink into his own autism. Although he had been paying attention to what Xiaozhi and the others said, he could not muster any interest other than complaining.
In fact, he also admired these people who were seeking death. You have to know that at the beginning, Rayquaza was not as easy to talk to as he is now. Any flying objects that dared to fly into the universe would be directly destroyed, without leaving a single one.
Originally, Rayquaza thought that humans would give up when faced with difficulties, but this instead aroused humans' rebellious psychology. As time went on, more and more things were flown into the sky by humans.
After several years of resistance, Rayquaza simply gave up. No matter what humans launched into the universe, as long as it didn't hit him, he would just pretend not to see it. Anyway, his duty was not to protect humans, but to protect the atmosphere from being invaded by foreign Pokémon.
After humans won the tug-of-war, they were surprised to find that there was nothing they needed to look for in the universe, so they just launched a few satellites to ensure communications.
After all, there are quite a few Pokémon in the universe, and those who are chosen to be astronauts will not be very strong, otherwise wouldn’t it be better to be a Pokémon trainer? In addition, there is no air in the universe, and almost 99% of the Pokémon will lose their combat capability, directly blocking the road to exploring the universe.
By the time everyone reached the center of the universe, the rocket launch had entered the countdown stage. The crowd standing nearby watching had lined up ten meters away. Everyone was stunned, not knowing what to do.
"Hey, can't you guys change your mindset? There's still some time before the rocket takes off, why don't we go to the space center first and take a look around? There must be a big screen inside anyway, and it will be better to watch the broadcast then instead of standing so far away."
Gongsun Yan was a little scared when looking at the densely packed crowd. He couldn't even keep to himself anymore and turned to make a suggestion to everyone.
After hearing this idea, everyone agreed. After all, they arrived too late and it was extremely difficult to find a seat.
Xiaosheng, who originally wanted to watch the rocket launch up close, had no choice but to agree to this suggestion. After all, with his current height, he would only be able to watch it alone if no one picked him up.
The problem was easily solved by Xiaozhi. Gongsun Yan simply told everyone that the leader of the Green Ridge Gym was at the center of the universe, and Xiaozhi dragged everyone into the center of the universe.
Because being dragged away was extremely indecent, Gongsun Yan planned to put up an appropriate resistance, but he did not expect that he would be directly suppressed by Xiaozhi.
This made Gongsun Yan exclaim that Xiaozhi was really a rude person. He thought he was very strong, but it turned out that there is always someone stronger than you. Xiaozhi pressed down on Gongsun Yan with one hand, and Gongsun Yan couldn't resist even with all his strength. It was outrageous.
Chapter 248 Xiao Feng and Xiao Nan
Walking into the center of the universe, everyone was dazzled by the array of instruments, but Xiaosheng felt like a fish in water. No matter which machine Xiaozhi and the others paid attention to, Xiaosheng could explain its function.
The result was that Xiaozhi and the others looked around like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and Xiaosheng perfectly played the role of commentator. All kinds of strange and weird training equipment were lying inside the center of the universe.
Gongsun Yan seemed a little uninterested. It was not because he was not interested in exploring the universe, but because he had seen these instruments countless times in his previous life. He had been to similar aviation science and technology museums countless times in his previous life, and the things in each of them were more complete than those here.
He even accomplished a feat that no one else had accomplished, which was to try out all the instruments available within two days of the weekend. Although he was taken to the hospital in an ambulance with a pale face in the end, he left behind a legend after all.
Maybe this is because I am no longer in the martial arts world, but the martial arts world is full of legends about me. To be honest, Gongsun Yan can be regarded as a local celebrity. After all, not everyone can hold so many records, although these records are just a joke.
The most famous record was that he once quarreled with a dog for three hours. Gongsun Yan used dog language to scold the dog so much that it became autistic, shocking all the onlookers.
In fact, the cause of the incident was very simple. Gongsun Yan lived in a large family in his previous life. His parents had many brothers and sisters. The number of his generation increased by leaps and bounds. However, the number of males in his generation was about to exceed 20, but the number of females was only a pitiful one.
But this sister is the youngest among her peers. When she was born, she was the apple of everyone's eye. Her brothers, led by Gongsun Yan, doted on her even more.
This little sister is really likable. Even though she is spoiled like this, she has not grown up in a bad way. She has a very good personality and is the most polite even when she is still in kindergarten.
Such a polite child would be easily bullied, but it was no problem for her. After all, she had four older brothers who went to the same kindergarten with her, so it was a good thing that she didn't bully others.
But such a lovely sister was frightened by a local notorious vicious dog. How could Gongsun Yan tolerate this? He picked up his schoolbag and went to that family's house.
The family thought Gongsun Yan was going to fight with the dog, so they hurriedly chased after him. They found that when Gongsun Yan arrived at the family's door, he took out a small stool from his schoolbag, sat down safely where the dog could not hurt him, cleared his throat, and began to howl.
The scene was filled with loud drums and gongs, blasting firecrackers, waving red flags, and huge crowds of people. The neighbors also came out to watch the fun. They had thought that Gongsun Yan would just howl for half an hour, and that was enough. How much physical strength could a kid who had just entered the fourth grade have?
Their estimation was correct. Gongsun Yan was too tired to howl after half an hour of howling. Then they saw Gongsun Yan leisurely took out a bottle of water and a bag of bread from his schoolbag, and after replenishing his strength, he continued to howl.
The final result was that the vicious dog was tortured to death by Gongsun Yan's hawk-training method, and it collapsed on the ground and dared not move. From then on, it no longer howled at passers-by, and when it saw children, it ran faster than anyone else, because its courage was frightened by Gongsun Yan.
From then on, the title of "Dog Nemesis" has always been around Gongsun Yan, and even now it is still circulating among the people. This is also the main reason why Gongsun Yan has never wanted to go home and has gone to other cities to live and work. He has become socially dead in his hometown.
Just as Gongsun Yan was recalling the "glorious years" of his previous life, Xiaozhi, a well-known reckless man, had already sat on a machine, fastened his seat belt, and directly pressed the switch.
Xiaoyao standing by obviously figured out what the machine under Xiaozhi's butt was used for, but before she could remind Xiaozhi, Gongsun Yan stopped her. He was still planning to laugh at Xiaozhi's joke.
He had sat on this machine in his previous life. Apart from being a little uncomfortable and being unable to tell the front, back, left and right for twenty minutes after sitting on it, there were no other side effects. As long as one did not sit on it right after a meal, one would generally not vomit.
Xiaozhi also tasted the consequences of his recklessness. He was made to spin 360 degrees randomly by this circular machine for several minutes. If Pikachu had not tried hard to maintain balance and stopped the machine with his tail, Xiaozhi would have been thrown to pieces.
Xiaozhi walked down from the machine like a puddle of mud, and fell to the ground after just two steps, unable to move. The people around him not only cared about Xiaozhi but also made fun of him, asking why he was so reckless.
Xiaozhi also knew that he was in the wrong, and he kept agreeing with everyone's accusations. However, everyone knew Xiaozhi very well, and Xiaozhi's nature was to admit his mistakes humbly and never repent, so no one said much.
At this moment, Xiaozhi, who was lying on the ground, suddenly discovered something. He used his hands and feet to crawl to the wall and looked through a piece of glass at the bottom.
What came into Xiaozhi's eyes was a huge battle field. There were six Pokémon on the field. Four Libras stood at the four corners of the field and used Trick Space to cover the entire field. A Sunrock and a Moonrock were fighting fiercely on the field.
Seeing how fascinated Xiaozhi was, Xiaoyao and the others followed in Xiaozhi's footsteps and moved in front of the glass to watch the battle.
Gongsun Yan was no exception, but he was curious about one thing: there was so much space nearby, so why did they have to gather together to watch? Wouldn't that be tiring?
The two people fighting on the field are naturally the two masters of the Green Ridge Gym, Xiaofeng and Xiaonan. Xiaofeng is the younger brother, and Xiaonan is the older sister. Their personalities are the typical example of a strong woman and a weak man, with the sister being strong and the brother being weak.
However, Gongsun Yan always felt that Xiaonan looked very familiar, and he really wanted to go to Sinnoh to ask Xiaoguang's mother how many daughters she had lost!
It's okay that there's a Konan here who looks 80% similar to Hikari, but there's also a princess or some eldest lady in the Sinnoh region who looks exactly like Hikari. It wouldn't feel weird at all to have her participate in the gorgeous competition.
Xiao Feng was criticized by Xiao Nan for commanding Sun Rock to use a sandstorm move that was completely ineffective against Moon Stone. Sun Rock was also knocked against the wall by Moon Stone's mental interference.
When Gongsun Yan saw this scene, all he could say was "well done". It's okay for you, a gym leader, to forget the properties of the moonstone, but the ground-type sandstorm is also ineffective against the rock-type moonstone!
Chapter 249 Reminiscing about the Past
Afterwards, Gongsun Yan saw a series of ridiculous operations. Xiao Feng actually let Taiyangyan stand still to condense the sunlight and flames. Faced with such a good opportunity, Xiaonan only let Yueshi use a collision move. Faced with this straightforward move, Taiyangyan failed to dodge and suffered full damage.
That would be fine, if the power of Sun Flame was strong enough, this small disadvantage could be ignored. However, after Sun Rock charged up the power of Sun Flame, it was unexpectedly defeated by Moon Stone's uncharged Freezing Ray with a devastating force, and Sun Rock also lost its combat capability.
"No, if I remember correctly, these two should be the gym leaders of the Green Ridge Gym. How did they become gym leaders with such strength?" Gongsun Yan said with a dead fish eye.
He was convinced. Since ancient times, the left side of the opponent has always lost, except for Dyna's pig. Now the rule has been broken! He was standing in such an advantageous position, but he didn't hurt the opponent at all. The gap in strength was too big.
"Well, it should be." Xiaogang flipped through the travel guide in his hand and said uncertainly.
"Don't think too much. Many young gym leaders have inherited their family's gyms. Although their strength is not very outstanding, their potential is obvious to all. Otherwise, they wouldn't have passed the league level so easily."
As soon as Xiaogang saw Gongsun Yan's expression, he knew what he was thinking, and retorted to Gongsun Yan in a bad mood. He also inherited the gym when he was young, and he did not inherit the position of gym leader from his parents like Xiaofeng and Xiaonan, but was forced to take on the position after his unreliable parents ran away.
Even when his parents ran away and there was no one to guide him through the gym affairs, Xiaogang still supported the entire Nibee Gym and switched perfectly between the gym and family. His younger brothers and sisters were all brought up well, and Jiro showed signs of surpassing his father.
And don't forget that Xiaogang's role in Xiaozhi's team is not just a chef, he is a high-level breeder! Xiaogang is definitely a genius, and a genius who develops in many aspects at the same time, to be able to complete the breeder exam in such a harsh environment.
"Hehe, I'm not thinking about those things. I'm just a little curious." Gongsun Yan pretended to cough twice to ease his embarrassment, and immediately changed the subject.
"By the way, it looks like they've finished fighting, why don't we go look for them!"
Gongsun Yan was naturally confident when he said this, and it was hard for others to say, but Xiaozhi would definitely agree with this proposal.
This was indeed the case. Xiaozhi not only agreed to the proposal, he even dragged Xiaogang and Xiaoyao beside him over. Gongsun Yan and Xiaosheng couldn't help but sigh, but they also followed.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Gongsun Yan watched Xiaozhi directly open the door of the battle room and walk towards the door carelessly, and hurriedly reminded them to stop.
However, Gongsun Yan's reminder was obviously a step too late. Xiaozhi and the other three walked directly into the room, and the next moment they all floated up.
It turned out that the magic space created by the combined force of the four Libras successfully offset the gravity in the room. At this time, Xiaozhi and the others were just like in a space station.
The inexperienced Xiaozhi and his friends were obviously caught off guard by the zero-gravity state in the room, and for a moment they couldn't even control their bodies.
Seeing Xiaozhi and the others enter the room, Xiaonan and Xiaofeng also turned on the switch that controlled the ground lock on their feet. They also relied on this device to stand steadily on the battle seat.
Xiaonan floated directly to Xiaozhi's side and calmed Xiaozhi down. Gongsun Yan was envious. Did you expect all this? What a terrible opponent!
Seeing this, Gongsun Yan did not stay at the door any longer. He jumped into the room casually. When he sensed the zero-gravity environment, he was not panicked at all. He controlled his body very easily and was even able to move freely.
Gongsun Yan's operation also surprised everyone present. Xiaonan and Xiaofeng were surprised because very few people could adapt so quickly after entering the zero-gravity space. Even those who often entered the zero-gravity space needed some time to adapt. However, Gongsun Yan did not feel any stagnation at all. It felt like a seamless connection.
As for Xiaozhi and the others, they suspected that Gongsun Yan was secretly taking extra lessons without their knowledge. How come Gongsun Yan could always find a way to deal with any strange situation? Xiaoyao, who was the most impatient among them, asked directly.
"Xiao Yan, how did you adapt to the weightless state so quickly? We all feel a little uncomfortable now."
"Haha, this is all thanks to my good master, your good father, Master Qianli!"
I get a little angry when I talk about Gongsun Yan. Qianli didn't treat him as a human being when he trained him. Originally, Gongsun Yan planned to use one month to lay a solid foundation, and he could learn other things slowly while continuing his journey.
As a result, Qianli compressed what a normal person would take several years to learn into one month. Even if the requirement was just to have a rough understanding, it would be a life-threatening task for Gongsun Yan, who was tortured to death all day long.
Among them, how to adapt to the zero-gravity environment is an important skill. In addition to the zero-gravity state in the universe, psychic Pokémon can also achieve the corresponding effect.
Although Normal-type Pokémon are not directly restrained by Psychic-type Pokémon like Fighting-type Pokémon, they are still at a huge disadvantage in battle.
Especially for a Pokémon trainer like Senri who is known for his violence, once a Psychic-type Pokémon makes Absence King and his companions float in the air, their strength will be reduced by more than half without any support.
Therefore, Qianli also worked hard on how to resist the zero-gravity environment. He did not keep this method to himself and taught it all to Gongsun Yan, and guided Gongsun Yan throughout the process.
As for the instruction method, it is also very simple. Let Kirlia randomly create a zero-gravity space on the side, and Gongsun Yan will lead the Pokémon to run around the open space to learn how to overcome the obstacles of the zero-gravity space during the movement.
In fact, there would be no problem with just this, but Qianli let the hyperactive ape follow the whole time on the grounds of speeding up Gongsun Yan's learning progress, and randomly used moves such as the ring-breaking death ray and the flame jet on Gongsun Yan and others, and all of them were done when Gongsun Yan and others were weightless and unable to control their bodies.
After that, there were only two options for Gongsun Yan and the other Pokémon: either adapt or compete with the Hyperactive Monkey in energy.
Gongsun Yan and his companions decisively chose the first one. Only a fool would compete with a hyperactive ape with energetic characteristics in energy.
Chapter 250 What is Bloodline Suppression?
After listening to Gongsun Yan's crying, Xiaozhi and the others expressed their deep sympathy for Gongsun Yan, and then simply left Gongsun Yan aside. They did not participate in such inhumane training, and to be honest, they were already giving face to Gongsun Yan by not laughing. If they were alone in a place with no one else around, they would have rolled on the ground laughing.
Ignoring Gongsun Yan, Xiaozhi and the others introduced themselves one after another. Gongsun Yan also briefly introduced himself. Then Xiaozhi and the others expressed high praise for the battle between Xiaofeng and Xiaonan. Even Xiaogang, who wanted to complain like Gongsun Yan before, praised them a few words.
Good words are always welcomed by others. Xiao Feng and Xiao Nan are not experienced people. After hearing the praise from Xiao Zhi and others, they were very happy and introduced themselves with a smile on their faces.
Afterwards, Xiao Feng expressed strong dissatisfaction with Xiao Nan's emphasis on being the younger brother. However, Xiao Nan did not take Xiao Feng's words to heart at all. It was obvious who was at the top of the food chain.
That’s not all, Xiaosheng also agreed with what Xiaofeng said, and started to complain about Xiaoyao. His words were full of resentment towards being younger, and he hoped that he was the older one.
Faced with the "violent remarks" from their two younger brothers, the two sisters did not care at all. It was not the first time that similar remarks came out of their younger brothers' mouths over the years, but they were all just helpless rage.
Gongsun Yan, who was watching from the side, suddenly recalled a sentence in his mind. It was from his previous life when one day he had an argument with his father. In the end, his father realized that he could not win the argument and ended the argument with this sentence. In summary, it was "My father said he was my father."
As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father and the eldest sister is like a mother. Xiaoyao and Xiaonan are suppressed by their blood. It seems unlikely that Xiaosheng and Xiaofeng will be able to turn things around in this life.
Friendship between girls often comes so suddenly. After reaching a consensus on how to trick their younger brother, the friendship between Xiaoyao and Xiaonan quickly heated up, and they actually started chatting right away.
"By the way, why do you want to fight in a zero-gravity environment?" After a series of nonsense (Gongsun Yan thought), Xiaoyao finally asked the point.
"That's because our father is the director of the center of this universe!" Xiaonan said.
"And he's a famous astronaut!" Xiao Feng said proudly.
