When Xiao Feng took the note and looked at it, his expression became a little strange, as if he was enduring something. However, after noticing his sister's death stare, he forced himself to suppress it.
"Haha, what do you want to say after reading it?" Xiaonan said quietly.
"Well, it's okay. He just reminded you that you should let the natural bird learn the move of Miracle Eye. There is no need to do this." Xiao Feng said weakly.
"Then why can't this bastard speak nicely? He's been insulting me openly and secretly, and even said that my outfit is bad!" Xiaonan said madly.
"I think he just doesn't know how to speak in a roundabout way..." Xiao Feng seemed to want to defend Gongsun Yan, but ended up lowering her head under her sister's murderous gaze.
Let’s not talk about Xiaonan who was going crazy in the Pokémon Center for now. Gongsun Yan, who was already on the main road, seemed to have felt Xiaonan’s “greetings” to him and couldn’t help but sneeze twice.
"Hiss, calculating the time, Xiaonan should have seen the note I left. I hope she can take it to heart. After all, her shortcomings now are too obvious." Gongsun Yan muttered.
"Then you should write it clearly! If we didn't know what your real intention was, we would think you were scolding her just by looking at the note." Xiaoyao silently complained about Gongsun Yan, while Xiaozhi and others on the other side nodded in agreement.
"Hey, hey, you can't say that. What I said came from my heart. Even if the wording is a little inappropriate, it's still a token of my heart..."
Gongsun Yan started arguing with Xiaoyao in dissatisfaction, while Xiaozhi and the others watched the show from the side. In this way, the group started to move towards the next destination.
..........................................................................................
"Hey, Xiaozhi, come on, if you lose this battle I will look down on you!"
Gongsun Yan stood aside to cheer Xiaozhi on. At this time, Xiaozhi was fighting with a passerby. The two sides on the field were Xiaozhi's Cinderella and the passerby's Mantis. It was a rare battle with the normal attribute for Xiaozhi.
The fact that Mantis is four times weak to fire means that Cinderella can end the battle with just one move on Mantis, and the damage can even overflow, so Gongsun Yan encouraged Xiaozhi so much.
"Do I need you to tell me that? Coal Turtle, block it with Iron Wall!" Xiaozhi actually had time to respond to Gongsun Yan during the battle, which shows that this battle was not stressful for him.
But this is also normal. This passerby would actually command Giant Mantis to use special attack moves such as Destruction Death Ray. You know, Giant Mantis exists as a physical attacker.
Moreover, in the Pokémon world, there is no such thing as DP before physical attack and special attack are subdivided into each move. It has always been divided, so either this trainer deliberately cultivated it, or this trainer did not think so deeply at all, and simply felt that the move of Destruction Ray was powerful.
If he met this opponent in the league conference, Gongsun Yan would think it was the former, but this was just a small battle on the side of the road, so the probability of the latter would be infinitely magnified.
The situation on the field couldn't be more optimistic. After Brother Passerby's Giant Pincer Mantis had fully accumulated power, the destructive death ray he fired was actually bounced back by Coal Turtle's Iron Wall, and no damage was done at all.
The passers-by who saw this scene were so angry that they asked the giant mantis to use its alloy claws for close combat, but it was burned to ashes by the coal turtle and was killed directly. The coal turtle completed a perfect kill.
Gongsun Yan, who was watching this scene, nodded happily, thinking that Xiaozhi had finally grown up, and because he had always been by his side, he did not have the arrogance and conceited mentality like in the original timeline. After all, he had been defeated by him countless times, and that bit of pride and complacency was probably directly extinguished.
However, Gongsun Yan's good mood completely disappeared after he caught a glimpse of a figure in the distance. The other party even moved directly towards him without any intention of changing direction. It seemed that he recognized him.
"What's going on? Wasn't that person trapped in Larus City by me? How come he is here now? This will of the universe is too deceptive!"
Gongsun Yan looked at King Genji who was walking towards him and gave up resisting directly. He looked directly into the other person's eyes very generously. Although his eyes were clear, he kept criticizing him in his heart.
"You, you are the King Genji! I am your fan! I...can you please give me an autograph!"
Before Gongsun Yan could say anything, the passerby who was fighting against Xiaozhi was the first to notice the figure of Genji's king, and excitedly asked for his autograph.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that I'm so famous. I'll sign an autograph for you then."
After laughing twice, King Genji took out a pen from his clothes, signed the cover of the notebook handed out by a passerby, and signaled with his eyes that Gongsun Yan should not think about escaping.
"Haha, who wants to run away? Who do you think I am? Why would I run away?...Yes, if you hadn't seen me, I would have run away. How come you are so old, but your eyesight is still so good!"
"Besides, if you don't want to be recognized, why don't you change your clothes? No matter whether it's winter or summer, you keep wearing your captain's uniform so open, it would be a miracle if no one recognizes you."
Gongsun Yan kept complaining about King Genji in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, so he just kept it to himself.
Chapter 262: My Brother Yuan in Society
After sending away the passers-by, King Genji walked up to Gongsun Yan, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and spoke in a gloomy tone.
"Good boy, you played a trick on me in Larus City before. How can I eat you up? Why are you hiding from me like this?"
"Hehe, that's impossible. I've been friends with you for a long time. How could I avoid you on purpose? It's all an accident."
Xiaozhi and the others looked at Gongsun Yan with surprise as he covered his shoulder and pretended to be in pain. Their impression of Genji was immediately fixed on that of a fierce old man. After all, his appearance was too misleading, and it didn't feel out of place for him to run to the set of One Piece next door.
"Okay, who are you pretending for? Don't you know how much effort I put in? I didn't expect you to be such an acting queen." Genji said unhappily.
"Hehe, I'm just playing with you, old man. Look how well I'm cooperating. My companions are all confused." Gongsun Yan also immediately returned to normal, without feeling any unbearable pain at all.
"Haha, I suddenly feel that you are very much to my taste!" Genji suddenly laughed after looking at Gongsun Yan twice.
"Haha, old man, your next sentence is not going to be 'come and be my son', is it? That won't do. It's fine for me, but you might be beaten up by my dad." Gongsun Yan said half-jokingly. For some reason, he always felt that with the image of King Genji, the next sentence would be this.
"You're just dreaming. I don't want to have a junior like you who likes to stir up trouble!" Genji glanced at Gongsun Yan and sneered.
Xiaozhi and the others on the side looked at the two people who were incompatible at the beginning and suddenly became so close. They didn't have time to change their emotions for a while, and their eight-core brains stopped working directly.
"Okay, let's not talk here. I know a nice restaurant. Let me buy you something to eat. I'll introduce you to my crew members later."
Genji warmly invited Gongsun Yan and others to have dinner in the restaurant. Gongsun Yan was naturally not polite. He knew that these old sailors were very picky. Having traveled all over the world, they often knew many unknown delicious shops.
Xiaozhi and the others did not refuse, mainly because Gongsun Yan and Xiaosheng directly pulled them along, and before they could even express their opinions, they were taken to the door of the restaurant.
Gongsun Yan knew that the other party had been the king for so many years and was not short of this little money, and he also thought that he had a lot in common with the other party, so a meal would be nothing that he couldn't handle; Xiaosheng wanted to get closer because he often heard the name of the King Genji and was full of respect for him.
It has to be said that Genji's time as the king of pop can be compared with that of Queen Kikuko. As the evergreen king of pop, he naturally has a lot of fans, and many of them are parents now, and their admiration also extends to their children.
"jingle!"
As the wind chimes at the door rang, King Genji walked into the restaurant first, and Gongsun Yan followed behind him, adding popularity to the originally empty restaurant.
"Welcome..." The three shop assistants in the store were still greeting with full energy, but after seeing Gongsun Yan and others, their eyes widened and their voices became lower.
After seeing the three shop assistants, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but hold his forehead. Yabari, the store that King Genji mentioned is where the three members of Team Rocket work. Is this the will of the universe? How can these two groups of people meet no matter what the circumstances?
"Huh? Where's the boss?" When Genji Tenwang saw that there were only three unfamiliar shop assistants in the store, his eyebrows immediately frowned. He had invited Gongsun Yan and the others to come for dinner, so why wasn't the boss here?
"Ah? Ah! The boss is taking a day off today, so we are working here as part-time workers." Just when she was still surprised and worried about not being able to find the whereabouts of the little boy and the others, the little boy and the others appeared in front of her. After Genji asked them, she remembered that she was still working here, and hurriedly answered.
"Hmm? So you can make the same flavor as the boss!" Genji asked with a gloomy face.
"This, this is of course..." Meow Meow said weakly.
"Then let me..." Before King Genji could finish his words, Gongsun Yan pulled him over, pulled out a chair and pressed him down on the seat, then turned to talk to Team Rocket and the others.
"Prepare a cup of hot milk and sugar for this old gentleman. The rest will be decided after we look at the menu. I have to remind you that this is the famous Dragon King of the Hoenn region and also the best captain in the region. If you were boasting before, he would get angry. Once he gets angry, he might take you to some unknown sea area and sink you into the sea with rocks tied to your body."
Seeing Gongsun Yan smiling and saying such creepy words, Team Rocket was almost scared to death. They quickly said that they understood and finally rushed into the kitchen.
"Hey, how dare you ruin my reputation? I haven't been so violent for a long time. I've retired long ago. How did you know those old stories?"
King Genji angrily broke away from Gongsun Yan's hand on his shoulder, and finally asked Gongsun Yan a few questions with interest.
As a result, not only Xiaozhi and his friends, but even Gongsun Yan had a terrified expression. He originally just wanted to scare Team Rocket so that they would concentrate on cooking and not do anything weird. But he knew that Meowth was a very good cook. Since they came to the Pokémon world, they naturally had to try the food made by Meowth himself to make the trip worthwhile.
As a result, King Genji did not refute what Gongsun Yan said, but just said that he had retired and had not been so violent for a long time. In other words, the old man did do this when he was young and had no intention of covering it up.
Originally remembering that their duty was to serve customers outside as waiters, Musashi and Kojiro finally mustered up the courage to walk out of the kitchen. However, they were frightened back by Genji's words, and they probably wouldn't dare to come out for a while.
"Hahaha, you are scared by me, right? I am a law-abiding citizen, how could I do such a thing? It's impossible!" King Genji first looked at Gongsun Yan and others very seriously, and finally suddenly burst into laughter, declaring that what he said before were all jokes.
"Haha, judging from your performance just now, you are not joking at all." Gongsun Yan and others on the side said silently in their hearts.
Chapter 263: Eating a Lot
"Old man, let me ask you, what kind of cooking skills are needed to make hot milk and sugar? Why do you have such requirements on the boss's taste?"
While ordering the dishes, Gongsun Yan asked Genji Tenwang curiously what kind of cooking skills were required for a drink like hot milk and sugar. Shouldn't the taste be pretty much the same as long as the ingredients were the same?
"No, there are deep intricacies here, you don't understand." King Genji looked up at the ceiling with a melancholy face. The aura of a mature old man gushed out, attracting the attention of Xiaozhi and others beside him.
However, it had no effect on Gongsun Yan. After seeing the expression on Genji's face, Gongsun Yan couldn't help rolling his eyes. Others might not know, but he knew how generous this old man's character was. You could tell he was acting when he saw this expression.
"Hey, old man, tell me quietly, is it true that the owner of this store is a woman and you have a crush on her? Tell me, I won't spread it outside." Gongsun Yan whispered in the ear of King Genji.
"bump!"
King Genji, who was pretending to be melancholy, was frightened by Gongsun Yan's words. The chair he was leaning on fell down. If he had not been in good health and could not have stood up in a horse stance, he would have probably fallen to the ground.
"What the hell are you talking about, kid!" King Genji slapped Gongsun Yan on the back of the head, forced Gongsun Yan offline, and then moved the chair and sat back.
After Gongsun Yan was suppressed, Meowth brought out the hot milk that King Genji ordered. After placing the milk on the table, the three members of Team Rocket huddled in the corner, looking very nervously at King Genji as he picked up the cup and took a sip.
"Huh?!" After just one sip, Genji's eyes lit up and he showed no sign of concealing the shocked expression on his face. For a moment he couldn't even utter a comment.
"What, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the taste?" After seeing King Genji's face change, the hearts of the three members of Team Rocket almost jumped out of their chests. After a brief discussion within the team, Meowth was sent out to ask for opinions.
"No, this tastes so good, even better than the one made by the boss." There was still a hint of surprise in Genji Tenwang's tone. After all, it was the first time he drank such good hot milk.
"Phew~, as long as it tastes good, then let's first..." After hearing the praise, Meow Meow immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to say thank you and quickly go back to the kitchen, but he was interrupted by King Genji before he could finish his words.
"Wait a minute, I have a question for you." Genji put down the cup in his hand, turned to look at Team Rocket and his eyes flashed with a strange light.
"Please, please give me your advice!" This scared Team Rocket so much that Meowth could hardly stand up because he was closest to Genji and had the strongest deterrent power.
"You guys...are you interested in coming to my ship to be chefs? We can negotiate the salary." King Genji first looked at Team Rocket coldly, then smiled like a flower and warmly invited Team Rocket to work for him.
Meowth, who had a heart for Rocket, naturally would not agree to such a request. He politely rejected Genji and was about to leave, but Genji stopped them for the second time.
"What on earth are you trying to do, old man? Can you please stop torturing me like this?" Miaomiao was so scared that tears were about to flow. All he wanted now was to crawl into Sakaki's lap and accuse Genji of scaring him.
"Oh, nothing. We just want to order some food, so we called you over." Genji was also a little confused. Why did this short chef burst into tears? He had clearly hidden his ferocious expression.
"Hahaha!!!" Gongsun Yan, the only one who knew the truth, could not even raise his head with laughter. After a long time, the chat channels of the two sides did not match. One was just thinking about finding a chef, and the other thought that the other wanted to harm him. They were a perfect match.
"Oh, oh, ordering food, right? You two hurry up and help the guests order food. I'll go back to the kitchen first. I'm so sorry!" Meow Meow breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that Genji was not looking for him. After pushing Musashi and Kojiro to the front, he ran straight back to the kitchen. He was so fast that no one could react.
"Hey, hey! Ah, what dishes would you like to order?" Musashi obviously hadn't reacted yet before he was sent directly in front of Genji Tennant. After facing that ferocious face, Musashi couldn't even speak clearly.
"Well, I don't need it. You little guys just order whatever you want to eat." After realizing that there was no way to poach the chef, Genji regained his original composure, pointed at Gongsun Yan and others, and continued to drink milk from his teacup.
"Everyone, please order whatever you want. This old man has no shortage of money. Just eat whatever you want." Gongsun Yan enthusiastically invited everyone to order food. However, Xiaozhi and the others were not very familiar with King Genji, so they were timid when ordering and did not dare to order more.
"Hey, why are you being so polite? Never mind, let me order!" Seeing that Xiaozhi and the others were hesitant, Gongsun Yan reached out and took the menu, and ordered all the dishes that everyone liked.
"Well, kid, I tell you to order whatever you want, but remember not to waste it. If you waste food, I will be the first to hit you!" Although King Genji didn't care about the money of this meal, he was moved when he saw Gongsun Yan ordered a lot of things. It was not because he felt sorry for the money, but mainly because he felt that Gongsun Yan and his friends could not finish all these things.
"Man, big tits, just watch it, this is just a small thing."
Gongsun Yan waved his hand casually, looking relaxed. He wouldn't dare to guarantee that these things were not delicious, but the Rockets' cooking skills were excellent, especially with sufficient ingredients, Gongsun Yan was even less worried.
This was indeed the case. After all the dishes were served, the entire table was almost full. Although there was no second layer, it was still amazing. Musashi and Kojiro were almost dying of exhaustion before they brought out all these dishes. Meow Meow in the kitchen was so tired that he lay on the ground and couldn't move.
"Then, I'll start eating!" Gongsun Yan struck the common eating posture in Japanese comics, then shook his cheeks and lifted his back teeth. Let's eat!
Xiaozhi and his friends on the side were indeed hungry, so they immediately joined the battle, and for a while, the dining table was filled with blood and gore.
King Genji, who originally had no appetite, became hungry after seeing this scene and couldn't help but join in.
Chapter 264 Setting Sail
"Ah~, so satisfied!" Gongsun Yan was slumped in his seat beside the messy dining table, his stomach bloated and his whole body becoming as calm as a Buddha.
"You guys are really young. You actually finished all these dishes. I, an old man, felt full before I even ate much. I'm really getting old." King Genji said slowly while sitting in his seat and drinking the second serving of hot milk made by Meow Meow.
"Old man, you are in such good health. Even if you are old, you can still sit on the throne of the king for another ten years." Gongsun Yan said meaningfully.
"Haha, I'm much older than Kikuko of Kanto. She has wanted to find a successor for a long time, but was delayed after that incident. Why can't I just think about retiring?" King Genji said unhappily.
"Haha, let's not talk about such a heavy thing. By the way, Xiaoyao, which Pokémon are you going to use in the next grand competition?" Gongsun Yan laughed and started to change the subject.
"Oh, oh, I haven't thought about it yet. RoboPlanet performed very well in the last Grand Prism Competition, and Bulbasaur and Butterfree have also been working hard recently. It's really hard to decide for the time being." Xiaoyao was surprised at first, then said after thinking for a while.
"It's okay. This is a big deal. It's a good thing to be cautious. But remember not to be so careless this time." Gongsun Yan said.
"Hmm~, it's a gorgeous competition, right? To win the competition, the most important thing is to have good coordination and tacit understanding with the Pokémon, so the partners should calm down and make a decision after careful selection." Genji also reminded Xiaoyao, and he and Gongsun Yan seemed to have forgotten the topic they had talked about before.
"Yes, thank you for your advice." Xiaoyao seemed a little honored. Although Genji was the Dragon King and not an expert in the gorgeous competition, the advice from such a respected senior was invaluable.
"Oh, have you ever participated in a gorgeous competition?" Gongsun Yan teased from the side.
"No, I just have a better relationship with Adam from Liuli Gym. That guy's disciple Mikoli is an expert in this field!" Genji said.
"Wow, this world is so small. How come I can connect everywhere? Is it really because my circle is too small?" Gongsun Yan thought to himself.
At this moment, the six degrees of separation theory from his previous life emerged in Gongsun Yan's mind. Facts once again proved the validity of this theory. A person can know anyone in the world through at most six people, even if that person is the President of the United States.
Emotions are also universal in the Pokémon world. The circle of trainers is also a circle, and the relationships between people are always intertwined, like a dense web.
"I saw your fight with Giant Mantis just now. You were very good at analyzing your opponent, judging the situation, and timing your finishing moves. It seems that you are a good trainer."
Genji shifted his gaze to Xiaozhi at the side and praised him a few words. Xiaozhi was extremely excited to hear that. However, Xiaozhi, who had been beaten up by Gongsun Yan for a long time, was not as proud and complacent as in the original book. Instead, he humbly said no, he still had a lot to learn.
"Hmm? I was wondering if you would become arrogant because of this, but it seems that you have a good mentality. Remember to maintain this humble attitude, which will make you invincible in future battles."
After hearing Xiaozhi's humble words, Genji's eyes lit up. He had seen many evil young trainers in his life, some of whom could even compete with the current Gongsun Yan.
