Anyway, Gongsun Yan was forced out of the Kanaz Gym by the sullen Du Juan after he stuffed a rock badge into his mouth. Holding the rock badge, Gongsun Yan kept sighing in his heart, "Girls are such creatures, it's really hard to guess~."
Then Gongsun Yan turned around and walked towards a place that was not the Pokémon Center. After all, the gym competition he had just participated in did not consume much of his strength, so he simply decided not to go to the Pokémon Center for the time being. The direction he was heading now was to the most famous Deven Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in Kanaz City.
As soon as he arrived in Kanaz City, a message from his cheap dad appeared on his Pokémon Navigator. "Come to the company after challenging the gym." After seeing this message, Gongsun Yan suspected that his father had installed a locator on him, and sent a message to ask.
"Why do you think there's only one locator."
When Gongsun Yan saw this, it was as if a thousand Kentaro were running through his heart. He wanted to refute it, but no matter how many messages he sent afterwards, the other party only replied with something like a pass code.
Gongsun Yan had no choice but to walk towards Dewen Company. When he arrived at the door of Dewen Company, a waiter came up to greet him. He explained his purpose and showed the pass code on the pilot. The waiter led Gongsun Yan to an extremely large elevator as if he was facing a great enemy and sent him in respectfully.
After entering, Gongsun Yan was shocked by the elevator. What does it mean to be low-key and luxurious? The decorations of this elevator are actually made of evolution stones. This kind of wasteful way is something Gongsun Yan dare not even think of. (The author really can't think of how to write it. I am just a dog. Please imagine it yourself.)
Before Gongsun Yan could react from the luxury of the elevator, a soft voice sounded from the elevator, "The visitor's identity has not been confirmed. Please show the corresponding pass code."
Gongsun Yan took out the navigator and placed it on a screen in the elevator and scanned it. "The passcode has been confirmed to be correct. Passengers, please stand firmly and hold on."
Then the elevator slowly moved upwards. Gongsun Yan was still wondering why no button appeared. After thinking about it, he thought that this high-end elevator should be intelligently controlled, so he didn't say anything.
When the elevator stopped and the door slowly opened, what he saw was not the laboratory he had imagined, but a huge office. There were two people in the office talking about something. When they saw Gongsun Yan coming out, they all looked at him.
Gongsun Yan was also confused. He actually found that he knew the young man in front of him. Not only did he know him, but he was also very familiar with him.
"You are, the Daigo Champion?!"
Chapter 30: Daigo's Challenge
"You are, the Daigo Champion?!"
Gongsun Yan couldn't help but get excited when looking at the handsome white-haired guy in front of him. After all, this Daigo-sang was one of his favorite champions, and his white Metagross had brought great psychological trauma to other challengers.
However, Gongsun Yan suddenly remembered that Daigo seemed to have not caught his signature White Metagross yet. That White Metagross was captured by Ash when he was traveling in the Sinnoh region.
Gongsun Yan was wondering whether he should tell Daigo the location of the white Metagross as soon as possible. Anyway, he had no intention of coveting the shiny Metagross. On the contrary, he felt that Daigo was not the powerful Hoenn champion without the shiny Metagross.
However, Gongsun Yan wanted to find Celebi to travel through time and space, to give his current self a slap in the face and ask him to curb his unrealistic imagination. He kindly reminded the other party, but ended up getting tricked.
Of course, he doesn't know all this now, and he won't avoid Daigo like he would the plague in the future.
"Oh, you must be the kid from Gongsun Che's research institute, Gongsun Yan." Daigo still looked very gentlemanly and greeted Gongsun Yan.
"Do you know my father too?" Gongsun Yan was also shocked that Daigo actually knew his father. After all, in his impression, Daigo was a person who didn't care about Dewen Company at all and was devoted to working on stones. How could he know his father?
"Of course, your father is a very powerful trainer. I was able to become the champion thanks to his encouragement. His Dragonite, Banguirus and Metagross left a very deep impression on me!"
Gongsun Yan discovered that his father had to subdue a quasi-god every time he arrived in a region. What kind of luck was this? However, there were two quasi-gods in the Hoenn region, so it seemed that his father did not kill them all.
"By the way, you came here, probably for that Pokémon." After Daigo said that, he looked at President Zfuchi who was sitting in the first seat. President Zfuchi also took out a Poké Ball from the drawer and placed it in front of Gongsun Yan.
"What is this?" Gongsun Yan looked at the Poké Ball in front of him and an absurd idea popped up in his mind. Could that Pokémon be in this Poké Ball?
"This is the precious dragon that your father snatched from Genji when he was out doing experiments. I can still remember how miserable that guy was for a whole month."
Daigo looked at the Poké Ball in front of Gongsun Yan, with an expression as if he was hoping for chaos in the world, and said jokingly.
Gongsun Yan took a deep breath. His own father was so terrifying that he could actually snatch a dragon-type Pokémon from the dragon king Genji, and it was the initial form of their family's signature Dragonite. Gongsun Yan could imagine how ugly King Genji's face was.
Gongsun Yan suddenly realized that the Poké Ball in front of him was a hot potato. He would have to travel in the Hoenn region for a while. If he ran into King Genji, King Genji would not dare to do anything to his father, so how could he dare to do something to him?
However, Gongsun Yan looked at the Poké Ball. This was a Dragonite. After evolving, it would become a handsome Dragonite, the most suitable aerial mount. For other flying Pokémon, most trainers could only crawl on them to be taken flying. But Dragonite was different. It could allow trainers to stand on it and fly.
Finally, Gongsun Yan looked at the Poké Ball in his hand and cursed himself for not being able to control his hands. But since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. At worst, he would just ride Charizard and run away when he saw Genji. He didn't believe that Genji would chase after a junior like him without caring about the face of the king.
As a result, the Poké Ball stayed in Gongsun Yan's hand for one minute, and then was teleported out directly, probably to Professor Odawara's research institute. The teleportation point of his Poké Ball was set to Odawara's research institute, while Xiaoyao's was set to the greenhouse of the Orange Gym.
After receiving the Poké Ball sent by Gongsun Yan, Dr. Odawara will definitely release it immediately to take a look. Gongsun Yan thought that the baby dragon would hit everything it saw with its head, and he couldn't help but mourn for the instruments in Odawara's laboratory.
Daigo and President Zifuchi couldn't help but feel a little surprised when they saw that Gongsun Yan already had six Pokémon. After all, they all knew that Gongsun Che used to be an elite trainer, and it didn't make sense for his son to just capture some common Pokémon.
"Xiao Yan, you have captured six Pokémon? Can you show them to me?" President Zifuchi looked at Gongsun Yan with a kind face. He wanted to know which Pokémon Gongsun Yan had captured. He didn't have any other intentions, he was just curious. Daigo next to him also looked curious.
Gongsun Yan did not refuse. After all, these two were not outsiders and would not have any bad intentions towards his Pokémon.
"Everyone, come out."
With a flash of white light, Serpentis, Swampert, Charizard, Gardevoir, Zoroark, and Hyperactive appeared one by one in President Zfuchi's office. Fortunately, President Zfuchi's office was big enough and there were no particularly large Pokémon among Gongsun Yan's Pokémon, so Gongsun Yan could release all his Pokémon so casually.
"Oh! You have a group of very good Pokémon." President Zfuchi looked at the Pokémon in front of him and couldn't help but sigh that Gongsun Yan's family was so lucky that they could easily encounter precious Pokémon.
As Gongsun Che's boss, he knew that Gongsun Che had not given any help to his son except for the precious dragon and the water leap fish, so those precious Pokémon were obtained by Gongsun Yan by luck.
That's right, it's luck. Oftentimes, whether or not you can encounter a rare Pokémon has nothing to do with strength. Just like the "Dragon-type" king of Johto, no one dares to say that they can surpass him in dragon-type attainments, but the only Dragon-type in his main team is Dragonite, and the others are just Pokémon with the word "Dragon" in their names.
It was because of his bad luck that he never encountered any Dragon-type Pokémon or Pokémon that could evolve into Dragon-type Pokémon when traveling, and he was unwilling to borrow the power of his family for help, so he became the king of Flying-type Pokémon who was best at Dragon-type Pokémon.
As for Daigo, when he saw the Pokémon released by Gongsun Yan, he felt that his fighting spirit was about to be suppressed, so he did not choose to suppress his emotions, but turned around and challenged Gongsun Yan to a battle.
Chapter 31: The Ruthless Hunter
"Ah? Mr. Daigo, you are the champion. Isn't it inappropriate to challenge me to a fight?"
Gongsun Yan didn't want to fight Daigo now. Although his signature Shiny Metagross was not in his hand, there was no weakling among the champions. Although he could gain a lot of valuable knowledge by fighting with the champion, Gongsun Yan didn't have the strength to fight Daigo now.
"Haha, I just want to have a one-on-one battle with you. You have reached your current level within a month of setting off for the journey. You will definitely have a place on the throne of the king in the future. Let's move up the battle in the future."
Dawu didn't care about what Gongsun Yan said at all. Seeing such excellent uncut jade, he couldn't wait to try the quality of Gongsun Yan's jade.
"That Hyperactive Monkey should be your new Pokémon. I also have a new Pokémon here. Let's have a battle between them."
After hearing what Daigo said, Gongsun Yan put aside his worries. He was also looking forward to fighting against Daigo. Since he had no reason to refuse now, he decided to have a good fight.
"In that case, let's go to the battle field." President Zifuchi pressed a button on the desk, and the whole office trembled and slowly sank. When the room finally stopped, the three of them had appeared in a huge space. This space had everything. In addition to the battle field, there were Pokémon transmission devices and Pokémon recovery devices on both sides.
"Rich people really know how to have fun. They built a special arena for fighting in the Dewen Building, where every inch of land is valuable." Gongsun Yan criticized in his heart.
"Then let's start the fight." Daigo walked to the battlefield and once again invited Gongsun Yan to fight.
Gongsun Yan naturally agreed readily and let Hyperactive Monkey go into battle. The other Pokémon were not taken back and stood on both sides of the field to cheer for Hyperactive Monkey.
"Come out, Iron Dumbbell." Daigo took out a Poké Ball in a gentlemanly manner and released the Iron Dumbbell from it.
"Iron Dumbbell uses the ramming move." Daigo has no spirit of a champion at all. After the Hyperactive Monkey comes on the field, he lets Iron Dumbbell attack first.
"Hypermon, use Yawn." Because Swampert is very good at using yawning to gain output space, Gongsun Yan asked all the Pokémon that could learn it to learn this move from Swampert. The first one to learn it was naturally Sloth. After all, his talent, or characteristic, is sleeping, and sleepiness is contagious, so Sloth learned to yawn too quickly, and did not lose this move even after evolving into Hypermonkey.
After hearing Gongsun Yan's order, Daigo didn't say anything, and still let the iron dumbbell hit the Hyperactive Ape hard. The Hyperactive Ape had no idea of dodging. If he dodged, Yawn might not hit the iron dumbbell, so the Hyperactive Ape chose to exchange injury for injury. As long as Yawn hit the iron dumbbell, the Hyperactive Ape could completely replicate the battle in the Kanaz Gym and send the Iron Dumbbell to death with continuous Qi Punches.
The hyperactive ape was hit by the iron dumbbell and flew away, but Yawn also successfully hit the iron dumbbell. Gongsun Yan was relieved when he saw this. No matter what Daigo did, the iron dumbbell hit by Yawn would definitely not escape the fate of falling asleep. The iron dumbbell that fell on the ground would only be a piece of meat in the hyperactive ape's hand.
Next, Daigo kept letting Iron Dumbbell continue to use the ramming technique, and Gongsun Yan just let the hyperactive ape avoid his attack. There was no need to fight Iron Dumbbell head-on now. Only after Iron Dumbbell fell asleep could they gather more strength to defeat him in one fell swoop.
Finally, when the iron dumbbell used the Slam for the fifth time, the flying iron dumbbell in the air finally fell to the ground, making Gongsun Yan sigh that it was worthy of being the champion Pokémon. Even when affected by yawning, it could still use four skills before falling asleep. An ordinary Pokémon would have fallen down after the second attack.
But no matter what the process was, it was undoubted that Iron Dumbbell fell asleep. Gongsun Yan quickly asked the hyperactive ape to rush over and use the Qi Fist on Iron Dumbbell. If he was too late, something might happen. He clearly understood that the routines of these champions were very deep and he would be tricked if he was not careful.
An orange light gathered on the hyperactive ape's hand, and he punched the iron dumbbell lying on the ground, but Daigo suddenly shouted.
"Iron dumbbells, slam!"
"What?!" After hearing Daigo's order, Gongsun Yan's first reaction was that the current iron dumbbell was just a substitute, and the real iron dumbbell was actually hidden nearby. But then he thought, the iron dumbbell would not use substitute skills, so what was going on?
The iron dumbbell lying on the ground suddenly opened its big red eyes, accelerated its body, dodged the hyperactive ape's fist, and smashed the hyperactive ape hard, knocking the hyperactive ape to the ground.
"How is it possible? How could Iron Dumbbell wake up so quickly? The yawn just now clearly hit him." Gongsun Yan looked at what was happening in front of him, unable to understand why Iron Dumbbell was affected so little that even a yawn couldn't restrain him.
"You didn't expect that, Iron Dumbbell? It's about time. Don't suppress yourself. Just evolve." Daigo first smiled at Gongsun Yan, and then shouted to Iron Dumbbell, and then Iron Dumbbell's body was shrouded in white light.
"Evolution? Wait, could it be..." Gongsun Yan looked at the evolving iron dumbbell in shock, and saw the white light covering the iron dumbbell fluctuate, and a new iron dumbbell was separated from the body of the original iron dumbbell, and then the bodies of the two iron dumbbells merged together to form a huge body. As the white light dissipated, the evolved metal monster appeared on the field.
"It seems that you have thought of it. Yes, my Iron Dumbbell has been on the verge of evolution for a long time, and a new consciousness has been nurtured in his original body. The yawn used by your hyperactive ape just now did make Iron Dumbbell fall into a deep sleep, but another consciousness immediately took over Iron Dumbbell's body, and everything that happened afterwards was Iron Dumbbell luring the enemy into deeper." Daigo had no intention of hiding anything, and generously explained why Iron Dumbbell was not affected by yawns.
"By the way, since the evolved Metal Monster still has two brains in its body, it also has two consciousnesses. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for Metal Monster and Metagross to fall asleep. Even if one consciousness falls asleep, the other consciousness can continue to take over the body. This is why Metagross is known as a ruthless hunter, because it will not be disturbed by other factors."
Chapter 32 Tie
After hearing what Daigo said, Gongsun Yan felt that he was shocked by this world again. There are four brains in Metagross' body. One brain was hypnotized but the other three were still able to continue fighting. Such ridiculous things could happen and it was actually very reasonable.
"Damn it, Hyperactive Ape, use jet flame." Gongsun Yan couldn't think of how to fight back for a moment, so he could only use long-range skills to attack the metal monster.
"Metal monster, use telekinesis."
A stream of hot flame suddenly spurted out of the hyperactive ape's mouth and shot towards the metal monster floating in the air. The metal monster roared at the hyperactive ape's jet of flame, and a blue light flashed in its eyes. The flame flying in the air was directly wrapped by the blue light, turned 180 degrees in the air, returned along the original route, and hit the hyperactive ape who had no time to dodge.
"Damn it, Hyperactive Ape, use Shadow Ball." Gongsun Yan looked at Daigo's Metal Monster and denounced why all psychic-type Pokémon were so disgusting. Although Metal Monster couldn't learn the teleportation that other psychic-type Pokémon were good at, Metal Monster did not have a weak body like other psychic-type Pokémon.
Fortunately, Gongsun Yan taught Hyperactive a ghost-type move, so it still has some fighting power. Otherwise, in the early stage, Psychic-type Pokémon completely beat Pokémon of other attributes except Dark and Ghost. If Pokémon of other attributes want to defeat Psychic-type Pokémon, they can only consume the opponent's physical strength and then take advantage of the opponent's mistakes to kill the opponent in one wave.
Looking at the shadow ball flying towards him rapidly, the metal monster did not control the shadow ball like he controlled the jet flame. After all, he had just evolved, and his superpowers were not enough to control the moves that restrained superpowers. He just fell vertically from the air and dodged the flying shadow ball.
"Metal Monster, use your telekinesis to catch the Hyperactive Ape and lift him into the sky." Daigo had no intention of giving Gongsun Yan the chance to resist, and directly let Metal Monster lift the Hyperactive Ape into the sky. Although the Hyperactive Ape was very powerful, it would have no way to use those powerful moves without a leverage point.
"Damn it, hyperactive ape, break free now."
Hyperactive Ape continued to struggle under the control of telekinesis, but had no way to break free from it. Hyperactive Ape had no experience in fighting against psychic-type Pokémon, including before its evolution, so it was completely unable to find a way to deal with it quickly.
Then the metal monster used its telekinesis to grab the hyperactive ape and smashed it to the ground. Gongsun Yan saw it and was anxious. His brain was working non-stop, trying to find a way to break the spell.
Watching the battle on the battlefield, Gongsun Yan suddenly found a way to break the attack and shouted at the hyperactive ape.
"HyperApe, use Fire Jet on the ground."
The hyperactive ape, who was about to be smashed to the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and used jet flames towards the ground. The metal monster's telekinesis still habitually wrapped the hyperactive ape and smashed it to the ground. The hyperactive ape relied on the recoil force of the jet flames to break through the restraint of telekinesis and rushed towards the metal monster in the air.
"Hyperactive Ape, use your full power to use your Chi Fist."
"Metal monster, use your alloy claws to catch it."
Daigo obviously also thought of how Gongsun Yan would use to break free from the Metal Monster's telekinesis, but the Metal Monster's strength was actually inferior to that of the Hyperactive Ape, so even if he knew it, he had no way to deal with it, and could only fight the Hyperactive Ape head-on. Fortunately, he had tricked the Hyperactive Ape before, so the Metal Monster still had the upper hand.
The hyperactive ape and the metal monster roared and punched each other, and they were stuck in the air.
"Hyperactive Ape, use Shadow Ball at close range. / Metal Monster, use Mind Hammer."
Following the instructions of the trainers from both sides, a dark shadow ball condensed in the air above Hyperactive Ape again, and the metal monster's body also glowed with pink light. As the two collided, a flash of light suddenly burst out, followed by a violent explosion, which caused a cloud of dust.
After the dust settled, the figures of the Hyperactive Ape and the Metal Monster, both of whom had lost their ability to fight, appeared in front of everyone.
Daigo and Gongsun Yan took out their Poké Balls and took back their respective Pokémon. Gongsun Yan also took back the other Pokémon standing on both sides. After seeing that Ape had failed, they were all ready to go on the field to help Ape to get revenge. In order to avoid any trouble, Gongsun Yan quickly took them back.
After the match, Daigo and Gongsun Yan walked towards each other, shook each other's hands on the field, expressed their admiration for each other, and then Daigo said that he had something to do and ran away first. Gongsun Yan originally believed that the other party really had something to do, until he was caught by President Zifuchi and talked for a full two hours. Gongsun Yan realized that people who can sit in high positions are very good at talking nonsense. It is obviously a bunch of meaningless words, but they can drag on for so long.
After President Zifuchi finally let Gongsun Yan go, it was already dark. After walking out of Dewen Company, Gongsun Yan felt as if he was in another world. He didn't even know how he got to the Pokémon Center. Anyway, when Gongsun Yan came to his senses, he was already standing in front of the Pokémon Switch.
After a bitter smile, Gongsun Yan called the Odamaki Research Institute, and it was Dr. Odamaki who answered the phone. However, seeing the mess behind Dr. Odamaki, he seemed to understand what had happened, and greeted Dr. Odamaki cautiously.
"Um, um, Dr. Odamaki, good evening."
"Oh, it's Xiaoyan. The baby dragon you tamed is really full of energy. It took us a group of people to catch him for a whole hour, and we almost let him run away." Dr. Odamaki didn't look angry at all. Instead, he happily told Gongsun Yan how lively the baby dragon was.
"Ahem, Dr. Odawara, are you okay? I'm so sorry." Gongsun Yan heard Dr. Odawara's evaluation of the baby dragon and asked about Dr. Odawara's current situation awkwardly.
"Hahaha, how could I be in trouble for seeing such a rare Pokémon? I'm actually very happy. What's the matter with you calling me?"
"Ahem, Dr. Odamaki, I'm sorry. I called you this time to exchange Baby Dragon with you. I just got this child, so I plan to cultivate our relationship first." Gongsun Yan was still a little embarrassed when he spoke. After all, Dr. Odamaki had finally controlled Baby Dragon, and now he had to exchange Baby Dragon back.
"It's okay, it's okay. Which Pokémon are you going to exchange for Dragonite?" Dr. Odamaki didn't care at all. He was still very concerned about which Pokémon Gongsun Yan was going to exchange.
“What I want to exchange is…”
Chapter 33: The King of Tricksters
For Gongsun Yan, Serpentine is Gongsun Yan's first Pokémon, and no other Pokémon can match her status, so Serpentine cannot be rotated.
The hyperactive monkey was entrusted to him by Chisato, so it would be inappropriate to send him back to guard the warehouse right after he got it. If Zoroark was released, Dr. Odamaki would not have to do research, and would just have to clean up the mess every day.
Charizard cannot be put back either. It is so hard to get a Pokémon that can fly, how can we just put it back? Moreover, Gongsun Yan also plans to let Charizard stimulate Dragonite and stimulate Dragonite's desire to evolve.
The only ones left are Swampert and Gardevoir. Although Gongsun Yan's next destination is Fighting Town, as an island, the chance of using water-type Pokémon is undoubtedly great, but Gongsun Yan thought about Gardevoir's appearance, so there is only one answer.
"Dr. Odamaki, I plan to teleport Swampert over there. It just so happens that this kid has been in the institute for a long time and is familiar with the place. His next training plan has also been arranged. It doesn't matter whether I am around or not."
"Okay, I'll prepare to receive it right away. But you are worthy of it. Xiaoyao has not yet evolved Charmeleon into Robodon, but you have already evolved Scuttler into Swampert." Dr. Odamaki was very happy to hear that Gongsun Yan was going to let Swampert come back, and he also mentioned how fast Scuttler evolved.
"No, no, Xiaoyao was traveling and didn't have many opportunities to fight, so the Fire Chick didn't evolve."
Gongsun Yan quickly raised Xiaoyao's hand. He was also speechless. Professor Odamaki didn't know that not only Xiaoyao, but also Xiaozhi's Bikolohunka failed to evolve into Forest Lizard. They have been traveling for more than a month, and the three starter Pokémon they captured have not evolved. This means that they don't know how to let Pokémon fight at all.
Plus, Ash wasn't very good at training his Pokémon. He would only do some intensive training when there was an urgent need, and the rest of the time he just let his Pokémon do what they wanted. If it weren't for Brock, a competent babysitter, who was there to provide help, how could Ash's Pokémon have such powerful powers?
As Gongsun Yan placed Swampert's Poké Ball in the groove in front of the computer, Professor Odamaki also placed Dragonite on the groove of the research institute. With a sound of electric current, the Poké Balls in front of the two disappeared, and reappeared in their original positions a few seconds later.
