"Impossible, how could this be possible? How could my perfect plan go wrong!" Harry kept muttering to himself, completely unaware that the battle was over. He didn't even take back the Dreamsong Cactus that had lost its combat power.
This made the angel in white, Miss Joy, very upset. She even came out to scold Harry, telling him to treat his Pokémon well and not to treat him like this even if he lost the battle. If it happened again, she would report it to the league and request a review of his trainer qualifications.
Even a man as arrogant as Harry didn't dare to act rashly in front of Miss Joy. He obediently put the Dreamsong Cactus back into the Poké Ball and promised Miss Joy that this was the first and last time and he would never do it again.
After this incident, Harry's reputation on the island was ruined. However, this was just the beginning. Xiaoyao hadn't gotten the ribbon yet, and Miss Junsha came in with a group of people and took Harry away. What Gongsun Yan said before was not just talk, he would really put it into action.
Chapter 287: Post-War Classroom
Although Harry tried his best to explain, Miss Junsha, who was a violent agency, obviously would not listen to such testimony. Besides, sissy like Harry was not her type. The eight words "ruthless and impartial in enforcing the law" were written on Miss Junsha's face.
As a result, Harry was taken away from the scene in full view of everyone. If this was Gongsun Yan's previous life, then Harry's magnificent competition career would have been declared over, because the two referees present had the worst impression of him, and this first impression is deeply engraved in people's hearts.
But this is the world of Pokémon, a less cruel and more childlike world, very similar to a certain card-playing world next door. There is nothing that can't be solved by playing cards, and in the Pokémon world, there is nothing that can't be solved by a battle.
Although Gongsun Yan forced those charges on Harry, most of them were far-fetched, so they were just to disgust Harry and would not affect his future participation in the gorgeous competition.
The referees would not deliberately target Harry because of what happened today. They all have professional ethics, and as long as the contestant gave a performance that amazed them, they would let him pass.
But no matter what happens next, at least Gongsun Yan feels very happy now. Evil will be punished with evil, and good will be rewarded with good. It's not that there is no retribution, but the time has not come yet. Who knows if Harry has used this method to ruin other people's dreams of participating in the gorgeous competition before. Gongsun Yan is just collecting interest now.
After returning to the Pokémon Center, Xiaoyao could no longer suppress her inner excitement. She jumped up on the spot and danced with her fourth ribbon in her hand.
"Hey, Xiaoyao, don't be happy yet. Let's review today's gorgeous competition. Although your response is remarkable, it is not perfect. There is still room for improvement."
Upon noticing that Xiaoyao was a little bit dizzy, Gongsun Yan chose to pour cold water on Xiaoyao immediately, because if Harry had not been caught off guard by Xiaoyao, Bulbasaur might not be a match for the Dreamsong Cactus.
Although Bulbasaur's combo skills are incredibly powerful, the pre-swing and stiffness are too long. Even if the opponent is not prepared in advance, they can still avoid it as long as they react quickly enough.
Once this big move misses, it means that you have handed the initiative of the battle into the hands of your opponent. An experienced opponent can easily seize this flaw and take you down.
As for the review, it was mainly because Gongsun Yan discovered that Xiaozhi and Xiaoyao always had some bad habits during the battle, including Gongsun Yan. So after careful consideration, Gongsun Yan decided to design a small post-match class to solve any problems on the same day.
After analysis by the two tactical masters, Gongsun Yan and Xiao Gang, Xiao Yao finally understood how coincidental today's victory was. Based on the analysis of Mengge Cactus' previous battles, everyone found that Mengge Cactus actually had room to dodge the last move, but because there was no order from the trainer, Mengge Cactus did not dare to act rashly.
"Remember this lesson, Xiaozhi and Xiaoyao, you two must train your Pokémon to fight independently. Once the trainer fails to issue orders in time for some reason, the Pokémon must make the most accurate judgment." Gongsun Yan said, pointing at the photo of Mengge Cactus.
Let alone Xiaoyao, the Pokémon in her hand are played in a completely conventional way. Although this style of play has a high tolerance rate, it is not original at all. As long as the opponent is not a rookie, there are several ways to break the game.
However, Xiaozhi's Pokémon are also experienced in this regard. Of course, Gongsun Yan refers to the Pokémon in the Kanto region. At that time, Xiaozhi was also a rookie trainer. As a result, the level of the Pokémon in his hands far exceeded the limit of what he could command. The most typical one was the disobedient Lao Pen.
If the Pokémon level is high enough, they will naturally have rich combat experience. They all have their own ideas. Even if the trainer gives wrong instructions, the Pokémon will adjust its own tactics to win.
"By the way, Xiaoyao, if Harry's conspiracy succeeded today and you didn't know it happened, would you be able to calm down and fight?" At the end of the class, Gongsun Yan asked Xiaoyao a question.
"Ah?...I don't know." Xiaoyao said uncertainly.
"Hey, Xiaoyao, your current strength in the field of gorgeous competitions is already very good, but you are really too naive. I don't know how chaotic it will be if you travel alone in the future." Gongsun Yan said with a sigh.
"What should I do if I meet Harry again?" Xiaoyao said worriedly.
"It's cool. What can I say about this kind of thing? It needs time to settle. Otherwise, I can't figure out how to change my mindset." Gongsun Yan said.
"But we are here, so it will be much better if we set an example for you first. You should know that although your strength can deal with most enemies, Xiaoyao, you met a rogue this time!" Gongsun Yan saw that Xiaoyao was a little depressed and hurried to comfort him.
"As for dealing with a rogue, the best way is to find another rogue, so that the other party will be a little more restrained. After all, both sides dare not fight to the death. Harry should have come to his senses now and realized that he was tricked by us." Gongsun Yan smiled mysteriously.
The facts were not beyond Gongsun Yan's expectations. Harry, who was in the police station, slapped his thigh suddenly. He finally understood what was going on with the strange feelings he had felt before. He didn't expect that he had been hunting geese all day, but today he was pecked in the eye by a goose.
At this time, Miss Junsha also brought a bowl of steaming pork chop rice and placed it directly in front of Harry, using the most commonly used interrogation method in criminal police films.
However, no matter how Miss Junsha questioned Harry, she had tried inducement and forced confession, but there was no progress at all. Instead, Harry ate a bowl of pork chop rice and a bowl of ramen.
Let's not talk about Harry who was enjoying his life in the police station. Xiaoyao, who had been instilled with a lot of knowledge, no longer had the previous pride, and the joy of getting the fourth ribbon also disappeared. She was staring at the notebook in her hand in a daze.
"Okay, okay, I said so much just to prevent Xiaoyao from being complacent. A teacher once said to me a famous saying, 'You should be self-deprecating and never be arrogant.' Today I will give this sentence to you two. You must work hard in your future travels!" Gongsun Yan said with a smile.
"Wait, why do I feel something is wrong? When did we start talking about separation? Xiaoyan, what are you planning to do?" Xiaozhi said in surprise.
"Ah, no, I was just saying that. The gym challenge is almost over, and we should part ways after the Caiyou Conference is over. I thought about the previous paragraph for a long time before writing it. Isn't it very stylish?" Gongsun Yan raised his eyebrows frivolously.
Talking about the issue of separation, everyone present was silent. All good things must come to an end, and they couldn't travel together forever. Everyone had their own story, and the separation now was for a better reunion in the future.
But it's easy to say the truth, but how many people can analyze it calmly when faced with it? There are only a few. The most poisonous poison in the world is Shaqing Powder. Once you take it, it's really over.
Fortunately, everyone doesn't have to worry about separation now, because the last gym has not been fought yet, and Xiaoyao needs the last ribbon to participate in the grand celebration, so everyone's journey has to continue.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. It's still early. It would be better to have a big meal, not only to celebrate Xiaoyao's victory, but also for the friendship between all of us. Let's go! I have already made a reservation at the restaurant." Gongsun Yan took the lead in suggesting going for dinner; his stomach was already rumbling.
"What?! It's that restaurant! Let's go there quickly. I heard that the dishes there are not available in the Hoenn region, and the taste is also very good. Even if you make a reservation, you have to wait until a week later. How did you manage to make a reservation, Xiaoyan?"
Xiaoyao screamed when she saw the flyer in Gongsun Yan's hand. The feeling of a born foodie facing such delicious food is no less than that of a born swordsman seeing a peerless sword.
"Oh, it's mainly because a guest who had made a reservation today cancelled his reservation at the last minute. I was the first to learn about this and immediately booked the room. But there's no way to change the dishes," Gongsun Yan said complacently.
"It's okay, as long as there's something to eat, no matter what style of dish it is, I will eat it in my stomach." Xiaoyao patted her stomach directly, indicating that her fighting power is very strong and everyone doesn't need to worry.
Afterwards, everyone started talking and laughing as they walked towards the restaurant. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, no one mentioned the previous topic anymore. Whether they had truly forgotten it, or were just suppressing it deep in their hearts, time will always give us the answer.
..........................................................................................
"Wow, this meal is so satisfying!" Xiaoyao patted her belly which had obviously become bloated, which showed how much she had eaten in the restaurant before.
"Indeed, especially the last dessert from the Galar region, the flavors are really layered, I wonder if I can replicate it." The person who said this was naturally Gongsun Yan. His cooking skills for main meals only extended to stewing curry, and he was more interested in desserts.
After all, delicious and beautiful desserts can attract girls' attention much more than a large plate of food, and it is simply a great tool for picking up girls.
Chapter 288 Two Drama Queens Compete on the Same Stage
Gongsun Yan had read a novel about dragons in his previous life. In the novel, there was a nobleman-type character who once talked about his understanding of cooking. After seeing it, Gongsun Yan agreed with it so much that he couldn't agree more, and used it as a standard to develop his own cooking skills.
Original text: When making milk pudding, you can hold the girl's hand and teach her how to stir the milk. When making pasta, you can stand behind her and play four-hand kneading with her. This kind of cooking skill is very sexy and will make girls fascinated by you. Barbecue is different. When you are doing barbecue, there are usually a group of hungry ghosts around you, eager to grab your uncooked chicken wings. Your face is covered with coal dust, like an Equatorial Guinea.
Therefore, Gongsun Yan had a strong interest in desserts. He once rejected an invitation from a pretty girl in order to watch a dessert teaching class. He completely forgot what his original intention was in learning cooking. He completely put the cart before the horse.
However, Gongsun Yan was happy about it. The purpose of finding a girlfriend was to fill the gaps in life, and filling it with desserts seemed to be a good choice. It could also kill time without having to guess what the other person was thinking.
Everyone was discussing the previous dinner enthusiastically, but then an unexpected person came over. He was Harry who had been taken away before, and he was actually released that night.
Unfortunately, this path was quite narrow. Although it was completely wide enough for three people to walk side by side, it meant that everyone and Harry had to look directly at each other, which caught Xiaoyao and the others off guard.
"You played this trick beautifully. You took the initiative and even invited a third party to intervene. It was a bold idea, but I will not admit defeat." Harry responded directly after seeing everyone, and said from the beginning that he would not admit defeat.
This made Xiaozhi a little unbearable. It was obvious that the other party was the one who used despicable means to deal with them first, and now he dared to turn the tables and put all the blame on them. How could Xiaozhi, a hot-blooded young man, bear it? He wanted to go up and punch him twice.
Gongsun Yan hurriedly stopped Xiaozhi upon seeing this. On the one hand, he felt that things were definitely not that simple. Harry was released so early, which was completely different from what he expected. It was very likely that Harry was planning to set up a trap to trick everyone out.
You should know that Gongsun Yan had chosen to report anonymously before. After all, this kind of thing is a waste of public resources. How could Gongsun Yan leave his name behind? Is he going to wait for others to settle the score later?
Therefore, Gongsun Yan decided to be more careful and see what move Harry would make next. The current situation is that he cannot be impatient. The more impatient he is, the easier it is for him to make mistakes. He should wait and see. If the enemy does not move, he will not move either.
On the other hand, Gongsun Yan was afraid that Xiaozhi would not go too far and send Harry directly to the ICU. The medical expenses were not a big deal, but the pressure from public opinion was too great. The one who took action first would definitely be the target of condemnation.
Harry, who had no idea that he had just been to the gates of hell, was still constantly irritating everyone's nerves. It seemed as if he was deliberately angering everyone. This clumsy performance was really unbearable for Gongsun Yan. He was afraid that he had not offended enough people.
Besides, Gongsun Yan already had a rough idea of what Harry was up to. It seemed that the other party had found ways to persuade Miss Junsha and gained a certain degree of freedom in exchange for being able to find the person who reported the false case.
Now the policemen should be hiding nearby, wanting to see if what Harry said was true. Everything was planned by Gongsun Yan and his team, both to do official business and to settle personal grudges.
Harry has a lot of little ideas, but his evil intentions have been seen through by Gongsun Yan. Isn't he just trying to trick them into confessing something? Don't even think about it.
So Gongsun Yan immediately signaled to his teammates behind him, asking them to speak as little as possible, or to not speak at all, and let him deal with the other party.
"Mr. Harry, we don't know what you are talking about. Please don't block our way. Since you have been released, I think you should be fine. So why are you blocking us here?" Gongsun Yan said with a puzzled expression.
Gongsun Yan's acting skills are obviously much better than Harry's. Not to mention Harry and those policemen hiding in the dark, even Xiaozhi and the others who knew the whole story were almost fooled by Gongsun Yan.
It's okay that he lied without thinking, but how come his eyes were so clear? When Harry was caught by Gongsun Yan's gaze, he began to reflect on whether he was thinking too much. The person who reported it was not Gongsun Yan and his friends, but someone else.
However, this thought only stayed in Harry's mind for a while. His intuition told him that these things were closely related to the people in front of him. This intuition had helped him many times before, and this time was no exception.
Harry's move was an accident. He discovered the culprit by using the wrong means. The reason why he is in such a miserable state now is all due to the planning of this guy in front of him whose eyes are always clear.
Afterwards, Harry and Gongsun Yan had a verbal battle. Harry just kept throwing the blame on Gongsun Yan and the others. Gongsun Yan, on the other hand, knew nothing, was unclear, and did not understand the whole trilogy.
In the end, when Harry's mouth was almost dry, Gongsun Yan didn't seem anxious at all. The skills he had honed in Zaun in his previous life were not something these people could figure out.
Xiaozhi and the others listened to Gongsun Yan's words very carefully, and did not say a word from beginning to end. No matter how outrageous Harry's words were, they refused to refute him and did not give the other party any loopholes.
Finally, Harry had no choice but to give up his seat. When Gongsun Yan walked to his side, a faint voice came over: "Don't think that you have done it perfectly. I have already found out the clues."
"I really don't know what you said. I only know that if you keep bothering us like this, I will report to Miss Junsha. Coming out to cause trouble for us late at night, is this what a good coordination trainer should do?" Gongsun Yan directly scolded Harry loudly, and walked out with Xiaozhi and the others without looking back.
When everyone reached the end of the alley, a few more people suddenly appeared around Harry, who was originally alone in the middle of the road. One could tell their occupations by looking at their clothes, and they were obviously cops.
Chapter 289: Huge Psychic Earth Doll
"Well, it's almost over. We should go back to bed. We have to cross the island and go to the port in Seros Town tomorrow."
After returning to the Pokémon Center, Gongsun Yan stretched comfortably and was the first to walk towards his room.
"Wait, Xiaoyan, what's going on with Harry..." Xiaoyao saw Gongsun Yan was about to leave and wanted to call him to stop, but was immediately interrupted by Gongsun Yan.
"Don't ask too much about social affairs and go to bed quickly." Gongsun Yan obviously had no intention of explaining, so Xiaoyao and the others could only return to their room helplessly.
Just when Gongsun Yan and the others were getting ready to go to bed, Harry was also released. After all, he really didn't have any problems, even though many people had complained about him for the same problem before. However, he had always been making troubles within the rules, so Miss Junsha could only warn him.
As for why Gongsun Yan and the others were not summoned, it was because there were too many suspects. Miss Junsha checked for candidates who might be unfavorable to Harry, but the names alone took up a whole A4 paper, leaving Miss Junsha at a loss. She had never seen such a troublemaker, let alone dared to think about it!
So even though Harry kept saying that he was sure that Gongsun Yan and his gang were responsible, Miss Junsha and the others were only half-believing. If there were ten suspects, and all ten of them shared the suspicion equally, then what Harry said could only raise the suspicion of Gongsun Yan to 20%, no more.
But now there are nearly a thousand suspects, from childhood to the present, and all of them have sufficient motives to harm Harry. In comparison, Gongsun Yan and Harry's resentment cannot even be ranked in the top fifty. How can Miss Junsha make up her mind?
So in the end Miss Junsha decided to do nothing. After all, the people Harry exposed were no pushovers, ranging from gym leaders to the offspring of shareholders of large companies. It would be fine if the evidence was conclusive, but they dared to arrest people without any evidence. Will they not want new equipment next time?
That's right, Gongsun Yan actually didn't know that his family actually held shares in Dewen Company. Although it was less than 10%, it was already the second largest shareholder. President Zifuchi held more than 70% of the shares, and more than 10% was in Daigo's hands. It was an entire family business.
Many of the equipment in Miss Junsha’s police station were “friendly” sponsored by Dewen Company. If they really offended them, other police stations would probably hold a grudge against them. You know, these black technologies have helped them a lot. After all, the black technologies of those villain organizations are always emerging in endlessly.
In short, after careful consideration, Miss Junsha decided that it was better to have less trouble than more, so she pretended that the incident had never happened. She did not even confiscate Harry's props, but only ordered him to delete the recordings. After all, they were secretly recorded and the law did not allow it.
As a result, after all the twists and turns, Harry was the only one who suffered a loss. Not only did he lose face, but all the evidence he had kept was also lost. It was really a big loss. How could Harry be a person who would suffer a loss? He directly said that he would remember this grudge.
Of course, no matter how sinister Harry is, Miss Junsha and the others are government officials, and he would never do such a thing as dying together with them. Just like in the United States, even the most cruel gangsters will not attack the police or their families, otherwise they will directly slap the police in the face.
You should know that the record for the fastest shooting speed is still held by the New York Police Department. Neither the FBI nor the CIA agents can take back this record. That guy can empty an entire magazine in seconds and hit the target with every shot.
This record also takes into account the time it takes to draw the gun. The policeman from Texas drew his gun much faster. Not only him, but the entire New York Police Department has a minimum requirement of firing a magazine within five seconds, and also on target.
Once a gangster shot and killed a policeman, and the price was that the originally bloated New York police system suddenly burst into youthful vitality. The criminal who escaped from New York was caught within two hours, and the criminal was thoroughly investigated from head to toe, even finding out how old he was when he wet the bed.
As for the prisoner? Soon after he was imprisoned, news of his "suicide" spread. Regardless of whether the public believed it or not, all law enforcement agencies believed it.
From beginning to end, Harry can only be regarded as a narrow-minded villain. Even if he has some potential, it is not in this area. Naturally, he will not challenge the bottom line of the police. Therefore, Harry, who bullies the weak and fears the strong, directly puts all the faults on Gongsun Yan and others, and prepares to repeat the same trick next time to ruin everyone's reputation.
But Harry obviously would not have thought that Gongsun Yan's side was the tougher side. Not to mention the chosen one Xiaozhi, there is also Gongsun Yan, who is a cheat and the protagonist of this book. This means that Harry's next revenge plan will only end in a painful exit.
..........................................................................................
Gongsun Yan and the others naturally didn't know about the oath Harry swore last night. Even if they knew, Gongsun Yan would not take Harry seriously. To put it bluntly, Gongsun Yan only allowed him to use three Pokémon to fight the enemy, and he was not afraid of all of Harry's Pokémon together.
Not to mention Xiaozhi and the others, they are complete saintly templates. Even after being treated so badly in the anime, they had no intention of revenge, and they were even respectful to Harry afterwards. This is simply confusing human behavior.
After getting up and doing their usual morning exercises, everyone prepared to cross the entire island to take a ship to the town of Seros. When they were halfway there, a huge Poké Ball appeared in front of everyone.
"Wow, what a big Poké Ball!" Gongsun Yan was also a little amazed after seeing this huge Poké Ball. How big is that huge Psychic Clay Doll? Even the Poké Ball that contains it has to be this big.
The people around were also surprised by the huge Poké Ball. At this time, a man who claimed to be the sage of the island appeared behind everyone. His name was Old Man Shigemori.
The sage explained to everyone the legend of the Valley of Destruction, and during the period he kept selling Poké Ball-shaped steamed buns and Valley of Destruction senbei. After tasting the flavor, Gongsun Yan bought all of the other party's products, allowing him to tell the story with peace of mind.
Of course, the delicious taste of these steamed buns and senbei is only one of the reasons. Gongsun Yan rarely does such a thing as taking advantage of others. The main reason is that the voice of the sage in front of him is exactly the same as that of Uchiha dance king Madara. Both for sentimentality and because he was afraid that the other party would ask him if he wanted to dance, Gongsun Yan directly chose to donate generously.
The retired Madara obviously did not have the courage of the previous head of the clan. He finally saw Gongsun Yan, a guy who looked rich, so naturally he had to entertain him well. He took out a set of tables and chairs from somewhere and started making tea in the middle of the road in a swaggering manner. He was simply the epitome of domineering.
Xiaozhi and the others had obviously never seen this kind of routine before, and for a moment they didn't know whether they should take a seat or not. However, Gongsun Yan didn't have so many concerns. The great Uchiha Madara, even now retired, was still so domineering, and he sat down directly.
As the aroma of tea filled the air, the table was filled with the steamed buns and rice crackers that Gongsun Yan had bought earlier. The sage Madara directly took out an ancient book that looked very old and slowly began to tell a story.
The story is roughly about a powerful Pokémon that was once sealed in a Poké Ball on the mountain. Later, an evil man released the Pokémon, and the Pokémon wreaked havoc on the land for seven days and seven nights. Finally, a white sage appeared, summoned a new rock Poké Ball, and sealed the Pokémon in the lake.
Madara also said that there is a relic that can prove this legend, and because of everyone's generous donations, he is willing to take everyone to visit the ruins.
After hearing about this pilgrimage, Gongsun Yan thought of the Pilgrimage of the Islands for some reason. Because of this, he thought of the Overlord Pokémon, and his thoughts began to extend continuously. He also had a guess about the existence of the giant telekinetic clay doll, which seemed to be very similar to Galar's Gigantamax.
Although this Psychic clay doll is very huge, it does not look like a super ancient Pokémon. After all, whether it is Primal Kyogre or Primal Groudon, or even the three giant Pokémon in the backyard of Pallet Town, in addition to their huge size, they all have strange patterns without exception.
However, this telekinetic clay doll does not have any patterns on it, as if its body has simply been enlarged. The moves it uses are also very similar to the ultimate attack, which is very gorgeous and powerful.
When Madara brought everyone to the lake, he discovered that the three idiots from Team Rocket had secretly placed explosives on the rock Poké Ball instead of airdropping them like in the anime.
Before Gongsun Yan and the others could say anything, the three members of Team Rocket discovered everyone and quickly returned to the empty hot air balloon, fleeing the scene without even saying their lines.
