As a result, Team Rocket dodged Pikachu's 100,000 volts with a backflip, which made Gongsun Yan stunned. Was Team Rocket so powerful before the Unova region?
"Hahaha! Little brat No. 3, we have also gone through brutal training. Don't think you can stop us so easily now, meow meow!" Musashi laughed proudly and made a face at Gongsun Yan.
"Damn, Team Rocket has actually learned their lesson!" Gongsun Yan felt very surprised that these three lazy guys from Team Rocket would actually go for training one day, and it wasn't even forced by Sakaki. This was something he had never seen before.
However, due to the delay of Team Rocket, everyone was too late to release the next Pokémon. Meowth drove the robot directly into the gym and almost destroyed the entire battle field.
"Haha, we'll take these two Pokémon, Moonstone and Solarrock!" Meowth's voice came from the robot. While everyone's attention was drawn to it, Musashi and Kojiro, who had landed, also slipped into the interior of the robot.
Meowth controlled the robot to release two cages and put the two Pokémon, Moonstone and Solarrock, into the cages. No matter how they activated their super powers, they could not break free from the cages.
"Hiss~! My goodness, the cage is filled with the energy fluctuations of a heavy evil-type Pokémon. Team Rocket must have made a fortune. They dare to buy such materials. Aren't they afraid of being overwhelmed by the bill?"
Gongsun Yan felt the familiar yet unfamiliar energy fluctuations emanating from the cage, and couldn't help but worry about Team Rocket. Team Rocket's level of making money is indeed first-rate, but their level of spending money is top-notch, and they definitely have no savings left.
In other words, the Rockets got this robot purely out of debt. Otherwise, other than the Rockets making a few days' worth of money at the summer camp, Gongsun Yan couldn't think of any reason why the Rockets could be so wealthy.
While Gongsun Yan was marveling at the fact that Team Rocket was still able to get a loan, he also gave orders to Pikachu to continue attacking with 100,000 volts.
Before, Musashi and Kojiro’s targets were small, so it was understandable that they missed them, but now the robots are huge enough, and Gongsun Yan doesn’t believe that they can still miss.
"Qiu!" x2
After seeing Pikachu taking action, Pikachu did not just stand there and watch, but gathered lightning together. At this time, it can be seen how big the difference in strength between the two Pokémon is. The 100,000 volts released by Pichu is only one-third of that released by Pikachu.
You should know that although Pikachu has not evolved yet, Gongsun Yan has raised her level to level 30. Under normal circumstances, this level cannot even be reached by many Pikachus, but Pikachu is now at this level.
If you think about it this way, Pikachu's strength is definitely not that simple. Although Pikachu has a higher special attack racial value after evolution, the three-fold gap is really too exaggerated. It is estimated that even the King level cannot stop it.
However, to Gongsun Yan's surprise, the two lightning bolts hit the Rocket Team's robots but there was no reaction at all. Just when Gongsun Yan was surprised, Meow Meow spoke again.
"Hahahaha, did you think we would forget to take precautions against electrical shock? This robot is now invincible!"
Hmm? Gongsun Yan suddenly realized something. It seemed that the opponent had planted a flag for him. It seemed that this game was a sure win.
Then he came up to Xiaonan and Xiaofeng and asked something. Team Rocket, who were still arguing about excessive loans, didn't pay any attention to everyone.
"Hey, hey, come on, how come neither Moonstone nor Sunrock has learned the Big Bang? Shouldn't this be a standard move?" Gongsun Yan looked at Xiaonan and Xiaofeng in front of him with shock.
"Hey, where did you hear that the big explosion is a standard move?" Xiaonan looked at Gongsun Yan as if he was a fool.
"Isn't this normal? It's okay if you don't learn other moves, but shouldn't desperate moves like the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique and mutually destructive moves like self-destruction be mastered first?"
Gongsun Yan said this with a matter-of-fact expression, which made Xiaonan and Xiaofeng stunned. They wondered if they didn’t have enough experience. Was this really common sense?
"Hey, hey, what on earth are you talking about? You should find a way to rescue Moonstone and Sunrock right now! You can wait until later to get your chuunibyou back. And where on earth did you find those weird novels?"
Xiaosheng rushed over and covered Gongsun Yan's mouth, while complaining about Gongsun Yan's idleness. Xiaonan and Xiaofeng on the side also reacted. At first they really thought they were ignorant. It seemed that Gongsun Yan was the only one like this.
"Okay, I get it. Since plan A has failed, I still have plan B to use. Even if plan B fails later, I still have plan C as a backup!" Gongsun Yan said this with a proud look on his face.
"So, what is your second plan? The Rockets over there have already reacted, so use whatever tricks you have quickly!" Xiaosheng shouted to Gongsun Yan.
"Tsk, why are you in such a hurry? Everyone, listen to my orders and release all the Pokémon. I want to see if this robot can withstand the attack of so many Pokémon." Gongsun Yan said with a ferocious face.
After hearing Gongsun Yan's plan B, everyone rolled their eyes. They thought Gongsun Yan had some brilliant ideas, but it turned out to be just a simple plan of doing it together, which made them look forward to it for a while.
However, they also released their own Pokémon. Xiaonan and Xiaofeng also released another Pokémon of their own, which were a Natural Bird and a Psychic Clay Doll. The Psychic Clay Doll was the evolved form of Libra.
"Konan, Xiaofeng, have your Pokémon use telekinesis with Gardevoir to catch Team Rocket's robots. We can't let them get away!"
"All other Pokémon attack randomly, and be careful not to affect other companions! Remember to save the final blow for Moonstone and Solarrock, otherwise they will be too uninvolved!"
Gongsun Yan distributed the tasks for each Pokémon at the fastest speed. The reason why he didn't go into such detail was mainly because Gongsun Yan couldn't think of a tactic suitable for all Pokémon at the moment, so he simply did it together.
Chapter 255: Preparing to Rebuild the Green Ridge Gym
Originally, Xiaonan and Xiaofeng were extremely disappointed when they heard that Gongsun Yan's method was just a gang fight, but now they can only try their best and pray that Gongsun Yan's so-called plan C is really useful, otherwise they can only contact Miss Junsha to help get it back.
Because they both knew how difficult it was for Pokémon to cooperate with each other. They had had the Moonstone and Solarstone for some time, but the level of their tacit understanding was as terrible as they had seen before, so they were not optimistic about Gongsun Yan's method at all.
But when they saw the coordination between the Pokémon, they were a little stunned. It couldn't be said to be perfect, but no Pokémon affected the others. The whole scene was in order.
The culprit behind all this is Gongsun Yan. His training sessions every morning and evening are to practice the level of coordination and tacit understanding. After all, when traveling in the wild, what is needed is close cooperation between Pokémon.
As long as the level of the Pokémon is not up to the champion level, then the strength of the team is definitely more important. It's not that the champion level does not require teamwork. The main reason is that a champion cannot gather a team of champion-level Pokémon, let alone team tacit understanding.
It's just a pity for Team Rocket who are staying in the robot. They are sometimes burned by fire, sometimes hit by water, and then they have to receive double electric therapy from Pikachu and Pichu. After that, they have to receive back massage from two masters, Swampert and Gyarados.
"Bang!" The power of the alternating cold and hot is really strong. The Rocket Team's cobbled-together robot can't withstand it. Even though Meowth did not use second-hand products to make it this time, there are not many high-quality parts, and the robot's body quickly became incomplete.
The explosion did not harm Team Rocket inside the robot, but it released Moonstone and Solarrock that were originally locked in a cage. Seeing the fierce fighting outside, they naturally prepared to join in.
After seeing Moonstone and Solarrock come out, the other Pokémon stopped one after another. They did not forget what they came here to do. Now that Moonstone and Solarrock have been rescued, there is no need to continue attacking. The robot's feel is not good, so it is better to stop.
"Buzz!" After Moonstone and Sunrock broke free from their restraints, Xiaonan and Xiaofeng were very happy and gave them orders with full energy.
"Moonstone/Sunrock! Telekinesis!"
The three Pokémon, Gardevoir, Psychic Claymore, and Nirvana, also stopped their respective moves, and now the battlefield has been taken over by Moonstone and Solrock.
Suddenly, a layer of blue light appeared around the Rocket Team's robot. As the light continued to fluctuate, the originally huge robot was constantly compressed, and finally formed a standard cube.
"Hiss, luckily this world is designed for children, otherwise the robot would be a bloody mess right now. Oh, forget it, my sanity is about to drop."
Gongsun Yan fantasized about some dark settings, and then he was frightened by the idea in his mind. As a otaku, he had never seen such a strange scene before. It was really too terrifying.
The robot, which was compressed as a whole, finally came to an end. It must be said that the craftsmanship of Team Rocket is really good. The robot has become like this before it shows signs of exploding. It seems that a lot of seasonings were added!
"boom!"
With an explosion, the Rockets completed their daily exit activities. This time their gains were still the usual negative numbers. In the following days, they had to run around to repay the loan, and working four jobs was just commonplace.
After defeating Team Rocket, how to continue the next gym battle became the biggest problem facing everyone. The original battle venue had been almost destroyed, and it became even more horrific after the explosion of the robot.
"Why don't we just fight in this ruin? I think the cost of repairing the gym won't be much different from rebuilding it, so why not just use the waste!"
Gongsun Yan took a quick look around and made an estimate based on his experience in logistics at Chenghua Gym. He found that it would be more cost-effective to just tear it down and rebuild it. He then proposed this to Xiaonan and Xiaofeng's mother.
Although Xiaonan and Xiaofeng are the masters of the Green Ridge Gym, it is better to discuss such matters directly with their mother. They probably don't have the courage to decide these things now.
"Okay, I also want to redesign the gym. The one designed by the kid's father was too boring. I can take advantage of the opportunity when he can't come back to redesign it."
Originally, Gongsun Yan was just planning to make a suggestion, but he didn't expect that Xiaonan and Xiaofeng's mother's eyes would sparkle with stars after hearing Gongsun Yan's suggestion, and they suddenly became very interested.
For some reason, Gongsun Yan suddenly had a bad feeling. After seeing Xiaonan and Xiaofeng's faces turning pale, Gongsun Yan seemed to understand what he was worried about. It seemed that their mother's aesthetic taste was not very recognized.
At this point, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but mourn for Mr. Zhen who was far away in space. He hoped that when he came back and saw the unrecognizable gym, he wouldn't even dare to enter the door. However, looking at the clothing combinations of Xiaonan and Xiaofeng's mothers, they were pretty good-looking, so their aesthetics shouldn't be that shocking... right?
Gongsun Yan recalled the Nibi Gym that was repainted from head to toe by Xiaogang's mother. For some reason, he felt less and less confident. In the end, he even looked at the Green Ridge Gym twice, as he probably would never see such a proper Green Ridge Gym again.
"Hehe, don't just stand there, let's continue the gym battle, the sooner you finish it the sooner you can call it a day!" Gongsun Yan quickly changed the subject.
After Xiaonan and Xiaofeng glared at Gongsun Yan fiercely, they called on Xiaozhi to continue the gym challenge. They didn't even want to look at Gongsun Yan, and they didn't know what they were criticizing Gongsun Yan in their hearts.
However, Gongsun Yan did not care. Not to mention that this is not the world of Naruto, a real man would not kill someone with his eyes. The child has suffered so much, and he must feel very upset in the days that follow. It is normal to vent. After all, he is also a major factor in causing this incident.
Besides, they still have a battle with Gongsun Yan to fight next. Any grudges can be settled then. Why get angry now?
Chapter 256: Bug Yan is cheating again!
"Oh!!!" Xiaoyao and others standing on the sidelines shouted in surprise as they looked at the golden giant swallow on the field.
"Take off from Wuhu. Have you seen King Yan and Pikachu wearing gold armor? Haha, kill the opponents!" Gongsun Yan was even more excited than Xiaozhi. If the railing hadn't stopped Gongsun Yan, he would have wanted to rush into the field.
Right after the battle was restarted, no matter what tactics Xiaozhi came up with, they were blocked by Moonstone and Solarrock. If it weren't for the strong character of the Big Swallow, Xiaozhi would have lost countless times.
In particular, Konan's Moonstone used the light wall technique to perfection. It was actually able to condense a mirror and incorporate the mirror reflection technique into it. As long as Pikachu's electric shock failed to break the light wall, it would be reflected back directly without any damage occurring. This was completely inconsistent with the law of conservation of energy.
Xiao Feng's Sun Rock was not to be outdone. No matter which angle the King Swallow attacked from, it would be blocked by it. Its sandstorm move that could be opened and closed at will prevent the King Swallow from making any progress. Even its extremely fast Swallow Return move was not faster than the Sun Rock's reaction.
Even though Xiaozhi later thought of a quick solution and had King Swallow use Shadow Clone to trick the skill, and the main body and Pikachu flew high in the sky to attack Moonstone and Solarrock, the attack speed of these two Pokémon was too fast, and King Swallow and Pikachu were knocked away before they could get close.
After realizing that he couldn't break through the defense, Xiaozhi simply chose to act recklessly and let Pikachu use Thunder to attack himself and King Swallow in order to store lightning energy.
This move scared everyone present. Even Xiaogang and others who knew the nature of the Great Swallow were extremely nervous. You know, Pikachu's electric shock is no joke, not to mention the ridiculous power of the thunder move.
However, Gongsun Yan was very excited, and hurriedly checked whether the camera next to him was working properly. The next scene was about to appear, and how could such a famous scene not be recorded?
Afterwards, Pikachu and King Swallow, bathed in lightning, completed their transformation and carried [Lightning] on their bodies. The Moonstone and Sunrock's obstruction had no effect at all and were completely torn apart by the King Swallow.
"Pikachu, Volt Attack! Kingswallow, Lightning Flash!" Ash gave orders to his Pokémon with great enthusiasm.
Intense lightning emanated from Pikachu's body, enveloping Pikachu while also spreading to the Swallow beneath him, eventually enveloping both Pokémon.
At this time, the lightning on the Royal Swallow and Pikachu gradually changed, from the original yellow to pure white, symbolizing that the power of the lightning on Pikachu and Royal Swallow has undergone a qualitative change.
Moonstone and Solarrock didn't sit still and wait for death either. Solarrock gathered sunlight with all its might, and a thick beam of light shot towards the two Pokémon. However, the two Pokémon that had unlocked new forms passed directly through the middle of the sunlight flame, splitting the entire sunlight flame in two and hitting Solarrock hard.
Moonstone attempted to use a wall of light to stop Pikachu and Eldar, but the originally solid wall of light was simply vulnerable to Volt Attack (Flying Version). Pikachu and Eldar defeated Sunstone and Moonstone with a crushing force.
"Pikachu, use Iron Tail on Sollitz! Olympus, use Swallow's Return on Moonstone!" Xiaozhi chose to pursue the victory and was very careful to choose moves that had not attacked these two Pokémon before.
"bump!"
Iron Tail and Swallow's Return hit the Sun Rock and Moon Rock almost at the same time. Unexpectedly, even after Pikachu left the King Swallow's body, the King Swallow still maintained the state of Volt Attack. The hit Sun Rock and Moon Rock were knocked to the ground together, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The dust this time was not heavy, and it didn't even cover the bodies of Moonstone and Solarrock. It was obvious that it failed to achieve the state of smoke without damage, and the two Pokémon lost their combat ability.
This also announced that Xiaozhi had obtained his seventh badge, the Psychic Badge! The next battle would depend on Gongsun Yan.
After the battle, Xiaozhi excitedly went forward to hug the victorious Swallow and Pikachu. However, Xiaozhi, who had many years of experience of being electrocuted, was paralyzed by the residual electricity on Swallow. He fell straight to the ground and couldn't even speak clearly.
This scene also shocked Gongsun Yan and others. Xiaonan and Xiaofeng did not react, but that was because they did not understand Xiaozhi and did not know the abnormality of Xiaozhi's physique. If they knew a little bit, they would not be so calm now.
"Hey, you are worthy of being the famous Bug Yan. I had no idea what this was like before, but now it seems a bit outrageous! Even a cheater like me doesn't dare to play like this, for fear of being banned by Arceus!"
Gongsun Yan couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this. With Xiaozhi's current physique, he could withstand Pikachu's two 100,000-volt shots like a piece of cake, but he was actually deflated by this little bit of residual electricity. Gongsun Yan couldn't even imagine how much electricity was condensed in the King Swallow's body just now!
With just such a rough estimate, Gongsun Yan felt that his Dragonite could not withstand that Volta attack, and that was even taking into account the multiple scales on Dragonite's body, otherwise it would be game over.
Because there was still a lot of electricity left in Satoshi at this time, Gongsun Yan and Xiaogang did not touch Satoshi with their hands. They released Swampert and Swampert to carry Satoshi respectively. Although they might not be able to withstand the previous move, as ground-based people, they could still ignore the remaining electricity.
After moving Xiaozhi out of the competition venue, Gongsun Yan also stood in Xiaozhi's original position. Xiaonan and Xiaofeng also sent Moonstone and Solar Rock for treatment. Originally, everyone planned to send Xiaozhi to the Pokémon Center for examination, but Xiaozhi forced himself to stand up in order to watch the game.
Since their trainers have held on, Pikachu and King Swallow naturally will not give in. Even though one can see flashes of electricity on King Swallow's body, King Swallow is like a bird that has done nothing, standing aside with Pikachu on its head, watching Gongsun Yan's fight.
"The battle with Xiaozhi just now was very exciting. I wonder if you, Xiaoyan, can bring an equally exciting battle? The Pokémon we are using this time are the Psychic Doll and Natural Bird that appeared before. Let's see what Pokémon you will release!"
Xiaonan and Xiaofeng challenged Gongsun Yan in unison, and Gongsun Yan took two Poké Balls from his belt, enlarged them and held them in his hands.
"Then my choice is..."
Chapter 257: Green Ridge Gym (I)
"Then my choice is..."
"Come out, fanged land shark, Shakiras!"
As Gongsun Yan threw the two Poké Balls in his hand, the two Pokémon that Gongsun Yan had never seen appeared appeared in front of everyone. They were actually two quasi-gods.
"What!" After seeing the two Pokémon released by Gongsun Yan, Xiaogang on the side made a shocked sound.
"What's wrong, Xiaogang? I remember that Xiaoyan's Sharptooth Land Shark and Shakiras are very powerful. This battle should be easy to win." Xiaoyao said puzzledly.
"No, that doesn't count." Xiaozhi on the side suddenly struggled to answer. Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng's attention was also focused on Xiaozhi, wanting to see what he had to say.
"Although Shakiras and Fanged Land Shark are indeed very powerful, psychic-types are not so easy to deal with. Don't forget that the Psychic Dolls and Natural Birds can fly into the air to dodge!"
"That's right. Not only that, if I'm not mistaken, Moonstone and Solarrock should be the Pokémon that Xiaonan and Xiaofeng have just captured, so their previous cooperation was so bad. But these two are different. They should be the Pokémon they have been training since they were young."
Not only did Xiaozhi explain the reasons, Xiaogang also explained his point of view. Hearing that their two companions were so pessimistic about this game, Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng no longer had the confidence they had before and couldn't help but worry.
However, this was because Gongsun Yan did not hear the conversation between Xiaoyao and the others, otherwise he would probably have laughed out loud. How could he fight an unprepared battle? Although he liked challenges, he did not like to lose. Since he dared to commit suicide, it meant that he was very confident.
His confidence lies in the levels of these two Pokémon: Sharktooth: Rough Skin Ability, full experience value at level 47; Shakiras: Shedding Skin Ability, full experience value at level 54.
That's right, after this period of time, these two Pokémon have reached the stage of being on the verge of evolution. Shakiras has completely digested the rare metals it has eaten with its excellent digestive ability. Gongsun Yan didn't even have time to help him level up before his level reached the brink of evolution.
As for the Fanged Land Shark, the level required for its evolution is lower, and unlike Shakiras, it does not have to fight too much during the second stage of evolution, so its level increases quickly. Although its level is not high, its combat awareness is much higher than Shakiras.
In other words, with just a little bit of stimulation, Shakiras and Sharktooth can evolve quickly, and Gongsun Yan decided to find an opportunity to make them evolve from this gym battle.
Gongsun Yan felt that there shouldn't be any problem, because the sign of evolution appeared when Shakiras was teleported here. He estimated that it would happen either today or tomorrow, and the possibility of today was very high.
Besides, who said that Shakiras and the others would be helpless after the natural bird and the telekinetic clay doll flew into the sky? The illustrated book is a good thing. It records a lot of interesting knowledge, and many times you can find a solution from it.
"I didn't expect you didn't choose a Pokémon that can fly. It seems you still underestimated us. Natural Bird, fly into the air and use meditation!" Xiaonan gave the order quickly.
"Telekinetic clay doll, use earthquake!" Xiao Feng also used the earthquake move to protect the natural bird.
"Shakiras, earthquake! Sharptooth Land Shark uses Dragon Claw on the Natural Bird in the air!" Gongsun Yan instantly thought of a way to deal with it.
