Although he is now about the same age as these kids, and most of them are even older than him, this does not stop Gongsun Yan from scolding them like his grandsons. The few who were not convinced and wanted to refute Gongsun Yan were defeated by his sharp words and just listened to the scolding obediently.
"That's all I have to say. You must remember one thing, that is, your Pokémon love you very much. There is no need to believe in any false propaganda. Bonds are the key to improving Pokémon's strength."
Gongsun Yan took one last look at the group of people, left a few words and ran off to find Xiaozhi and the others. Anyway, he had already said it, and whether things could change was none of his business. If these guys still couldn't pay attention to their Pokémon after experiencing this incident, then they deserved their Pokémon to be snatched away.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Shun? It's been a long time since we last met!" Gongsun Yan was walking on the path leading to the park when he suddenly found a figure in front of him that looked very familiar, especially the cocky temperament. Gongsun Yan immediately locked onto the other person. After taking a quick look at him, he decisively went up and patted the other person on the shoulder.
"Oh, it's you. It's been a long time since we last met. Since you're staying here, it seems that Xiaoyao also got five ribbons." Xiao Shun was not surprised after seeing Gongsun Yan. Instead, he shook his hair handsomely and said coldly.
"Haha, why are you pretending? You clearly called me as soon as the Dusk Water Conference ended. After chatting for a while, you asked me openly and secretly about the result of Xiaoyao's competition. Now you have to pretend that you know nothing. Aren't you tired?" Gongsun Yan, with a dead fish eye, answered Xiao Shun helplessly.
"Hehe, no, no, that's nonsense!" Xiao Shun seemed to have been hit by Gongsun Yan's words and answered Gongsun Yan in a standard tsundere tone and quote, with a strange blush flashing across her face.
"Alas, has no one told you that tsundere is out of fashion? Now is the era of tools. You can't win a girl's heart like this. Don't play tricks behind her back. Go straight to the front. I'm going to look for Xiaoyao and the others now, so come with me!"
Gongsun Yan grabbed Xiaoshun's hand and forcibly led him in one direction. Xiaoshun gave up resisting after a symbolic struggle. He had originally gone out with the intention of meeting Xiaoyao on the road. Now that a shortcut finally appeared in front of him, how could he resist?
Just look at the calm look on the face of Poison Rose who was following Xiao Shun. She didn't care at all that her trainer was "forcibly" taken away. Instead, she quickened her pace and caught up with Gongsun Yan's. It can be seen that, at least for Poison Rose, what Gongsun Yan did was good for Xiao Shun, otherwise she would definitely stop it.
"Hey, I'm over here, look who I brought here!" Gongsun Yan and Xiao Shun saw Xiaoyao and his group surrounding Snorlax after walking a few steps. They quickly greeted them and grabbed Xiao Shun who was about to hide behind him, making him appear in front of everyone.
"Xiao Shun, you are here too!" After seeing Xiao Shun, Xiao Yao immediately left Snorlax behind, walked up to Xiao Shun with full momentum, and started arguing with him.
Xiaoyao boasted to Xiaoshun about how she had successfully come here and qualified to participate in the grand celebration, as if she wanted Xiaoshun to look at her with new eyes.
"That's true. With your qualifications, it must have taken a lot of effort to accomplish all this. It's really hard work!"
Xiao Shun also praised Xiao Yao sincerely. He really felt that Xiao Yao had a very hard time. However, being cold by nature, he would not express his compliments so directly. Instead, he hid his caring words in sharp words.
"What?! What do you want to say? If you have something to say, just say it clearly, don't beat around the bush like this."
However, Xiaoyao obviously couldn't hear the concern hidden in Xiaoshun's words. Instead, she was made even more annoyed by Xiaoshun's tone and forced Xiaoshun to explain himself clearly.
"Click, click."
Just as Xiaoyao and Xiaoshun were arguing there, bursts of sound came from beside them, attracting their attention. As a result, the scene that appeared in front of them made them speechless.
The crowd of onlookers, led by Gongsun Yan, were seen squatting on the sidelines watching the conversation between the two people. They were holding an orange fruit in their hands and chewing it. They seemed to be eating it with great relish. This was true for both the melon and the orange fruit. Even Mitsuko joined them and watched the crowd from the sidelines.
"Well, anyway, congratulations on coming to participate in such a grand celebration. Since you are already here, please show your strongest strength, otherwise it would be too embarrassing." Xiao Shun said coolly.
Gongsun Yan rolled his eyes when he saw this scene. Xiaoshun, you straight man, if you want to give flowers to Xiaoyao, just do it directly. Why say all that nonsense? Which girl would like to hear what you said?
However, Gongsun Yan still admired Xiao Shun very much. He actually dared to give flowers to Xiaoyao in front of Xiaoyao's mother. Although this flower is not a rose but a rose, the meaning is almost the same.
Could it be that Xiao Shun did this on purpose to prevent Xiao Yao from rejecting his kindness? Gongsun Yan, who wanted to know this, even stopped eating the orange fruit in his hand, trying to see signs from Xiao Shun's face that this was a deliberate move, but there was no sign at all.
Chapter 370: Xiao Shun A went up
"I know that! Just watch me, I will definitely take the ribbon trophy away. If you come to ask for my flowers at that time, I may be merciful and let you touch the trophy." Xiaoyao snatched the flowers that Xiaoshun handed to her, and comforted Xiaoshun as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, really? Thank you." Xiao Shun would naturally not be angry by Xiao Yao's low-level provocation, but he didn't want to refute Xiao Yao. Instead, he agreed generously.
The result was that Xiaoyao was a little overwhelmed by such a straight attack. She thought of countless ways for Xiaoshun to counterattack her, but she didn't expect that Xiaoshun would actually agree to it. This made Xiaoyao not know how to respond for a while.
But at this time someone came to end Xiaoyao's embarrassment. Harry rushed out from the crowd and went straight in front of Xiaoyao and Xiaoshun, and started talking to them very enthusiastically.
"Why is this guy here? It seems that he has some anti-reconnaissance awareness, otherwise how could he be released so quickly." Gongsun Yan spat in annoyance after seeing Harry. It was really unlucky to see such a guy making trouble in front of him in broad daylight.
"Eh? Is this person also Xiaoyao's friend?" Mitsuko asked curiously.
"No, I'm telling you, this guy..." Xiaosheng obviously had no good feelings towards Harry, who had deceived him, and he directly exaggerated what Harry had done.
"Oh, it looks like he's a bad boy." Mitsuko said, covering her mouth lightly. Although she didn't quite agree with what Harry did, she didn't hate him that much. After all, victory is often the most important thing. Although this tactic is despicable, it is indeed very effective.
"Oh, by the way, Xiaoyan, you came here with that green-haired boy, right? Then you should be very familiar with each other. What do you think of him?" Mitsuko looked at the three people communicating in front of her, suddenly came up to Gongsun Yan, and asked excitedly.
"Um, what aspect are you talking about, Master's wife? Xiao Shun's strength should not be underestimated. He is one of the favorites to win this grand celebration." Gongsun Yan was obviously very curious about what Mitsuko was concerned about, but he still told her what he knew.
"Oh, it seems that he is a rising star, not bad, but I don't know what his attitude towards Xiaoyao is. It seems that I still need to observe him for a while." Mitsuko murmured.
"Hey, hey, Master's wife, what are you thinking about? We are all still children. Please don't talk to me about this issue, okay?" Gongsun Yan reminded Mitsuko with a frown on his face. He really couldn't understand, does every mother have the potential to be a matchmaker?
"Eh? What are you talking about? I don't understand anything." Hearing Gongsun Yan's question, Mitsuko started to act stupid and pretended that she had not said anything just now.
The result was that Gongsun Yan had more black lines on his head. You can pretend if you want to, but can't your acting skills be better? He couldn't bear to pretend that he didn't see it. You can't even fool a three-year-old child!
However, with Mitsuko's interruption, the three people over there ended their conversation. Xiao Shun was taken away by this guy Harry, leaving Xiao Yao running back angrily. It was obvious that she was very angry with those two people.
"Okay, okay, don't worry about those details, and start checking Pokémon for tomorrow's preliminaries." The group obviously had no intention of offending Xiaoyao, so they changed the subject and urged Xiaoyao to start checking her Pokémon.
Xiaoyao was successfully diverted and turned his attention back to the released Pokémon, wanting to see their current mental state in order to decide who to send into battle tomorrow.
When Master Mitsuko saw Xiaoyao's hunting swallowtail butterflies, she was immersed in memories. She first met Qianli in a field with a large number of hunting swallowtail butterflies flying in it. She seemed to think of her past self during Xiaoyao's performance.
Although the people around did not have such profound feelings as Mitsuko, Xiaoyao's performance did make them eyes light up. Xiaogang was worthy of being Xiaogang. He only slightly improved the formula of energy blocks and Pokémon food to allow the hunting swallowtail butterfly to obtain unique phosphorus powder, which bloomed with magical light under the sun.
However, although Butterfree was in surprisingly good condition, Xiaoyao still checked the mental states of all Pokémon to be on the safe side. In the end, he found that Butterfree was in the best condition, so he decided to let Butterfree play in the preliminaries.
There was a small incident during this period. Harry was planning to use sweet words to persuade Xiaoyao to only use the Silver Whirlwind move to participate in tomorrow's grand celebration. Faced with a rogue like Harry, Gongsun Yan simply rolled up his sleeves, ready to go up and give the other party a good beating.
Of course, don't get the wrong idea. Gongsun Yan is an orthodox trainer, so orthodox that he is well versed in the rules and techniques of wild fights. However, he will not just go up and punch Harry twice, as that would be too ungentlemanly. Moreover, the rules of wild fights are not so popular among the current trainer group. Gongsun Yan cannot bring himself to challenge a coordinated trainer to a wild fight.
So Gongsun Yan was just preparing to show off his honed muscles. How could steel compare to trained muscles? I believe that after seeing these bulging muscles, Harry would give up the unrealistic fantasy in his mind.
Of course, if Harry still refuses to repent, Gongsun Yan doesn't mind letting Harry know what bad thoughts he shouldn't have. Since he doesn't want to be respectable, Gongsun Yan will help him to be respectable himself.
However, before Gongsun Yan could do anything out of line, Xiao Shun, who had been watching for a long time, came up with a cold face and scolded Harry. He then pulled Xiao Yao behind him and blocked Harry's sight with his body.
"Wuhu, Xiaoshun's move is so handsome!" Gongsun Yan looked at Xiaoshun's movements, and he suddenly felt excited, especially when he saw Xiaoyao blushing, but had no intention of breaking free from Xiaoshun's hand, which made him, the CP leader, feel very satisfied.
"Ahhh, the young people nowadays are really something." Mitsuko did not say anything to stop it after seeing this scene. Instead, she watched there with great interest, with a smile on her lips.
Chapter 371: Gongsun Yan, the Fun Man
In Kaina City, the main venue of the grand celebration, the grand celebration that Xiaoyao had always dreamed of finally began. Gongsun Yan and his group stayed in the audience seats, ready to enjoy the wonderful performances of many coordination trainers.
Although the previous preliminaries were also very exciting, it was very easy for Xiaoyao to pass the preliminaries with her strength. With the wonderful performance of hunting swallowtail butterflies, Xiaoyao successfully won a place in the official competition. Not to mention Xiaoshun, who directly won the third place in the preliminaries.
After the preliminaries, Gongsun Yan went to wait and successfully caught the three members of Team Rocket who were trying to steal from a contestant. He handed them over to Miss Junsha, hoping that Miss Junsha could take good care of them.
Although Gongsun Yan also knew that such measures would not be able to prevent their escape, the Rocket Team trio might not be very good at catching Pikachu, but they were good at everything else, and a mere prison would not be able to stop them.
However, Gongsun Yan did not intend to use such a simple measure to prevent the Rockets from escaping. He just wanted to prevent the three of them from making trouble during the grand celebration. Although the person they were going to impersonate was not very strong and it was impossible for him to win the championship, this was an opportunity that the other party had worked hard for and it should not be ruined by a villain.
After seeing the three members of Team Rocket being taken away by Miss Junsha, Gongsun Yan felt relieved and returned to his room to wait for the official competition the next day. At that time, there would be 64 top coordination trainers performing to their heart's content. Although he was not on the path of a coordination trainer, he could gain some inspiration from the knowledge that one skill can lead to all skills.
After all, human imagination is endless. Although the strength of the coordination trainers is not very strong, they have rich imagination. Many of their moves are actually very powerful. It’s just that their own strength is not enough and their expressiveness is more than a little poor. Gongsun Yan is trying to learn something from them.
However, just as the official competition began, a small incident occurred, forcing Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi to hold on to Xiaogang tightly to prevent him from rushing to the referee's seat. However, Xiaogang burst out with extremely amazing strength, and even someone as strong as Xiaozhi could not stop him, and with Gongsun Yan, they could only fall into a stalemate.
The reason why Xiaogang is so irritable is very simple. Just look at the three triplets on the referee's bench to know the reason. In order to keep the contestants in the best condition, the organizers of the grand celebration can build a new dormitory building, so it is not a big deal to transfer two Miss Joy from other cities.
However, this was a little too exciting for Xiaogang. The moment Miss Joy appeared, Xiaogang was about to rush to the stage, but Xiaozhi and Gongsun Yan quickly caught him, so he finally avoided embarrassing himself on such a big stage.
In fact, it wasn't just Miss Joy. The organizer even invited several Miss Junsha to come and maintain law and order. However, these Miss Junsha were scattered all over the venue and were far less eye-catching than the three Miss Joy gathered together. Except for Xiaogang, few people even noticed that these Miss Junsha were not the same Miss Junsha.
"Hey, Xiaogang, calm down! This is a grand celebration, and it's being broadcast live now. Everyone can see you on TV. If you rush forward like this, your life will be over. You will face social death!"
Gongsun Yan dragged Xiaogang's right hand tightly, and suddenly began to regret why this was not the Sinnoh region. If this was the Sinnoh region, Xiaogang would have definitely subdued the Frog. A poisonous sting would have been enough to calm Xiaogang down, and there would be no need for him and Xiaozhi to work so hard to stop Xiaogang.
Fortunately, Miss Joy's speech ended very quickly. Xiaogang became a little more normal after seeing Miss Joy sit down. This also made Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi breathe a sigh of relief. Xiaogang just now was like a madman, and they felt like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
The official competition is divided into two parts. The first is the normal performance session. The contestants will release a Pokémon to perform independently. The time limit is three minutes. Five judges will each give 20 points. Only the top 32 people can advance to the next gorgeous battle.
With the introduction of the rules completed, the official competition of the magnificent large-scale celebration also kicked off. One after another, outstanding coordination trainers took turns to show their carefully crafted performances in front of the audience. Some were handsome, some were beautiful, some were cute, and there were even eerie performances appearing on the stage.
That's right, that eerie performance was done by Harry. He perfectly showed the eerie and terrifying aspect of the cursed doll. Even Gongsun Yan, who had a lot of opinions about Harry, had to admit that Harry's potential was indeed very strong, and his strength in gorgeous battles should not be underestimated.
Coupled with Harry's unscrupulous character, it is a perfect match, enough to make him invincible in the glamour competition, as evidenced by the high score of 89 given by the judges.
However, in many cases, the reason why a conspiracy is called a conspiracy is simply because the planner is not strong enough. People with strong strength often do not play any conspiracy. Not only does it lose face, it is also a great shock to their own hearts.
But Harry's conspiracy was obviously not just a trick. He was powerful enough, but his personality was just that. Gongsun Yan saw something on the cursed doll, a mega stone that was flashing pink and yellow. It was the mega stone of the cursed doll that Gongsun Yan also had in his hand.
"Adding the mega stone on Shun, there must be at least three coordinator trainers who can mega evolve in this grand celebration. It looks like it will be a lot more intense than in the original book. But this Harry is a blessed man. He has the corresponding mega stones and necessary key stones for Pokémon. It's not easy!" Gongsun Yan murmured, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. The current situation is really interesting.
Just when Gongsun Yan was secretly rejoicing, Xiaoyao finally came on stage. The Pokémon she prepared to use for this segment was the same as in the original, Meowth. The reason was very simple, that is, Meowth was not strong enough. If she was not allowed to appear in this segment, then she would most likely not be able to go on stage.
Chapter 372: The Strongest Wingman Gongsun Yan
"Xiangwei Miao, use the cat's hand!" Xiaoyao excitedly commanded Xiangwei Miao.
After constant reminders from Gongsun Yan and Xiao Shun, Xiao Yao also realized the disadvantages of always using the same moves. Especially moves that cannot be controlled are not so popular in Pokémon battles, not to mention the gorgeous competitions that focus on stability.
The so-called borrowed move is the Cat's Hand move mentioned by Xiaoyao. This move was originally named Cat's Hand because at that time only Meowth was found to be able to learn this move, so it was named like this. Later, it was discovered that other Pokémon could also learn this move, so the name of this move was changed to borrowed. However, there are still many people who are used to using the Cat's Hand move.
However, there is a huge flaw in the moves used with the help of techniques, which is that they can only be used rigidly. It is extremely difficult to make even the slightest change. After all, these are not moves that the Pokémon has learned itself.
So Xiaoyao was just planning to use the assisted moves to open the game. After practicing for a period of time, she was able to make Xiangwei Miao use the Silver Tornado move 100% when using the assisted moves for the first time in the battle.
A white whirlwind spread out from the front paws of the cat, forming a gorgeous halo in the air, making the appearance of the cat so dazzling and beautiful, deeply attracting the attention of the audience.
"Xiangweimiao, use blizzard next!" Xiaoyao shouted loudly.
Amidst the flying phosphorus powder, Xiangwei Miao jumped up on the spot, and a powerful blizzard spewed out of her mouth. In just a moment, a huge iceberg was created on the playing field. Xiangwei Miao was sitting on the top of the iceberg, and the fallen phosphorus powder also stained the iceberg, sparkling in the sun.
After seeing such a wonderful performance, the audience gave warm cheers and applause. Even the judges recognized Xiangwei Miao's performance and gave good comments.
Although this temporarily formed iceberg has many flaws in the eyes of combat-focused trainers like Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi, for example, it lacks the most important thing for trainers, which is sturdiness. Although this iceberg is very beautiful, it is too brittle and a little bit of external influence can cause the entire iceberg to collapse.
However, although this iceberg has various shortcomings, they are not a problem at the current stage of the performance. As long as it is dazzling enough, it will be fine. Anyway, few people present can see these details. As long as the moves used by the contestants are dazzling and gorgeous enough, they can fool most people.
Xiaoyao's performance is far from over at this time. This sense of superiority and nobility of sitting on an iceberg and looking down on the world is naturally best demonstrated by Meowth's evolved, elegant cat. However, it would be a bit out of place for a Pokémon like Meowth, which is mainly based on cuteness.
"Xiangwei Miao, use the healing bell!" Xiaoyao became excited after hearing the cheers of the audience, and gave the order to Xiangwei Miao with full of energy.
The fur-like tail behind the cat swayed casually and made a crisp bell-like sound. The bell-like sound was filled with a magical power that could soothe the heart. The audience calmed down after hearing the bell-like sound and sat quietly in their seats to listen.
"Xiangwei Miao, use the Cat's Hand again and fully display your charm!" Xiaoyao shouted.
The move that appeared from Catmull's hand this time was Bulbasaur's Petal Dance. The sharp petals shattered the iceberg under Catmull's feet. The broken ice crystals of the iceberg and the phosphorus powder on it covered the entire stage under the sweep of the Petal Dance, making Catmull on the stage look so sparkling.
After using the Cat's Hand, Xiangwei Miao did not stand still, but ran happily on the stage. Her body was covered with ice crystals, phosphorus powder, and pink petals. Coupled with the characteristics of Xiangwei Miao's charming body, Xiangwei Miao's innocence and charm were perfectly reflected.
Finally, Xiangwei Miao slid and landed in front of Xiaoyao, showing a playful smile to the audience, which successfully ignited the whole audience. The audience stood up and gave the warmest cheers for the wonderful performance of Xiaoyao and Xiangwei Miao.
Gongsun Yan and others who saw this scene also showed relieved smiles, although it was a bit strange to say so, and Mitsuko, Xiaoyao's mother, was right next to them, so it was indeed strange to say so, but Gongsun Yan and others really thought so. Thinking back to when Xiaoyao just came out to travel, she knew nothing, and then looking at Xiaoyao who was on the court accepting the cheers of the audience, Gongsun Yan and others couldn't help but have such emotions.
Perhaps Xiaoyao is supposed to be so dazzling, on such a grand stage, giving wonderful performances to audiences all over the world and receiving applause from the audience. Gongsun Yan looked at the dazzling girl on the stage and inexplicably felt that he had witnessed history, the history of Hoenn Dancer.
Such a wonderful performance was naturally loved by the judges. After a short delay, the first full score of this magnificent celebration appeared on the big screen. This was the best evaluation of Xiaoyao's efforts for so long.
After seeing the score, Xiaoyao even shed tears of joy. She excitedly bowed goodbye to the audience and the judges, then fled from the stage. She really didn't want anyone to see her crying.
When Xiaoyao ran to the corner of the aisle, she could no longer hold back her inner joy and leaned in the aisle and cried. However, an irrepressible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Looking back on her journey during this period, she always felt like she was dreaming.
"Here, wipe your tears. You look like a crying cat now. You don't look like the Hoenn dancer who just caused cheers from the whole audience!" A handkerchief appeared in front of Xiaoyao. She raised her head in confusion and saw Xiao Shun with a smile on his face.
"Hmph~, what's it to you? I got full marks this time. You can't do that! And what's the matter with that Hoenn Dancer!" Xiaoyao snatched the handkerchief from Xiaoshun's hand, wiped her own tears, and then began to provoke Xiaoshun.
"Well, who knows? Your performance was indeed wonderful. I admit that I underestimated you before. I'm sorry. As for the Hoenn Dancer, how about this title? It seems to suit you well." Xiao Shun said calmly.
"Okay, it's my turn to go on stage. You just watch my performance carefully. I don't think mine is worse than yours." Xiao Shun chuckled, interrupted what Xiao Yao was about to say, and turned to walk out of the passage.
Just as Shun walked towards the stage, the Pokémon Navigator he placed in the preparation room lit up, revealing the message that someone had sent him before.
[Sincerely remind you, Xiaoyao must be very happy now. Please bring your handkerchief and go to greet her. By the way, what do you think of the title of Hoenn Dancer? Is it suitable for Xiaoyao? ]
Xiao Shun’s answer was also very simple, just two words.

Chapter 373: Cursed Doll, Mega Evolution!
"It appeared. The second perfect score appeared. I didn't expect that Xiao Shun, who appeared after Xiao Yao, also got a perfect score. This is an extremely rare situation in the history of grand celebrations. This will definitely go down in history!"
Host Vivian shouted passionately on the stage, and the audience stood up and gave the warmest applause to Xiaoshun who had just given such a wonderful performance. The atmosphere was even more enthusiastic than after Xiaoyao's performance. Even Gongsun Yan and others couldn't help but applaud.
"As expected of Xiao Shun, he actually got a perfect score." Xiao Gang exclaimed from the side.
"Yes, after Xiaoyao got full marks, the judges' scoring standards will definitely be greatly raised. It is not easy to get high scores, but even so, Xiaoshun was able to get full marks. It can only be said that his strength is terrifying." Gongsun Yan also agreed.
"Xiao Shun's strength really should not be underestimated!" Xiao Yao, who had just arrived at the audience seats, said with a serious expression. Although she knew that Xiao Shun was very strong, she did not expect him to be so strong.
Just when the audience was still immersed in the wonderful performances of Xiaoyao and Xiaoshun, the last contestant came on stage. He was the contestant Robert who overwhelmed all the other contestants on the Charm Stage. Even Xiaoyao and Xiaoshun were outshined. His Mienshao was not only gorgeous in style, but also very powerful. It was on par with Xiaoyao's Mienshao, but slightly inferior in charm. Its strength was even more powerful.
Not only that, Gongsun Yan still remembered that in the original plot, this gentlemanly guy would defeat all competitors and become the winner of this grand Hoenn celebration.
He deserves to be the winning coordination trainer. Although his Milotic is slightly inferior to Xiaoyao's Milotic in terms of appearance, he is far better in performance and energy control. He can build a water fortress in sunny weather, which surprised all the audience present.
