"Aren't you very clear about this? This is the key to the ultimate weapon. As long as you have this key in your hand, you can activate the ultimate weapon. That is the ultimate weapon that can end all disputes in a region." AZ showed a strange smile and looked at the key in Gongsun Yan's hand with great pride. The ultimate weapon is his most proud invention, no doubt about it.
"So, now that you have such a powerful weapon in your hand, what will you do...what are you doing!" AZ's eyes widened before he finished his bewitching words, as if something unexpected appeared in front of him.
"Click!" After hearing the first sentence said by AZ, Gongsun Yan looked at the key in his hand with surprise. It turned out that this was the key to the ultimate weapon in the original book. It looked really ordinary, the kind that no one would bend down to pick up if it was thrown on the side of the road.
Gongsun Yan held the key in his hand and played with it for a few seconds with a look of curiosity on his face, then broke it without hesitation. To be on the safe side, he even crushed it several times. When the key could no longer be seen in its original shape, he threw it directly into the magma that had not yet solidified on the ground and watched the remains being swallowed up by the magma.
"Aren't you tempted at all? This is the most powerful weapon in the world!" AZ stared at Gongsun Yan as if he were an alien and said in disbelief.
But to be honest, Gongsun Yan can be considered an alien, or to be more precise, an extraterrestrial. But none of this matters. What matters is how incredible Gongsun Yan's behavior just now was.
"I know, but so what? The existence of this kind of weapon is a bit too harmful to nature. What's the use of it for me? Although the current Alliance is not doing very well in some areas, it is still pretty good. As a person from the good and lawful camp, isn't it normal for me to do this?" Gongsun Yan said indifferently.
"Besides, do you want me to use this thing to reopen the imperial system? Your Majesty, times have changed. No one can stop the wheel of history, otherwise their legs will be crushed. The current Pokémon world is already very close to a communist society. How desperate am I to want to regress the world to such a distant stage?" Gongsun Yan's tone was full of helplessness.
Looking at Gongsun Yan who was explaining the communist society to him, AZ was astounded. He had only one problem now, that is, he could understand every word Gongsun Yan said, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand anything. This was the first time he felt that he was really old.
"In short, you think you don't need them, right? Aren't you being too arbitrary? I originally thought that the key and the ultimate weapon would still be useful in the future, so I kept them. Why don't you think so?" AZ's scalp numbed at what Gongsun Yan said, and he interrupted Gongsun Yan's singing directly, trying to change the subject.
“If we always rely on the props left by our predecessors for everything we encounter, doesn’t that mean we haven’t made any progress at all? So you, the old senior, don’t have to worry about it. Every era has its trendsetters, and they will support this era. You just need to enjoy your old age.” Gongsun Yan stopped his preaching with a look of regret on his face and began to explain the truth.
"Besides, what you gave me wasn't a real key, why should I think so much about it?"
Chapter 464: That Bastard
"Besides, what you gave me is not a real key, why should I think so much?" Gongsun Yan looked into AZ's eyes and said quietly.
"Hahaha, I really can't hide it from you. But how did you find out? I don't think I revealed any flaws." AZ laughed a few times first, then acknowledged Gongsun Yan's guess and started asking questions.
"Because you are not such a casual person. Don't forget, you used to be a king. A king will never trust others so easily. But what I said is true, without any falsehood." Gongsun Yan said lightly.
Does Gongsun Yan really think so? Of course not. He may not remember other things, but this key is obviously different from the one in the original book. On this basis, the answer is obvious. All of this is a test for AZ.
What if Gongsun Yan remembered it wrongly, and this key is really the key to the ultimate weapon? Wouldn't that be better? Think about it carefully, do people really need the ultimate weapon? No.
Besides, Gongsun Yan didn't believe that his and Xiaozhi's strength had reached its limit now. They would become stronger and stronger in the future. Even without the ultimate weapon, any difficulties would not be an obstacle to them, but would become nutrients for their growth.
"Boom!" AZ looked at the high-spirited Gongsun Yan, a trace of memory flashed in his eyes, and he slowly took out a key from his body. After looking at it with nostalgia for a few times, he resolutely threw it into the magma. Gongsun Yan took a quick glance and found that it was the key to open the real ultimate weapon.
"What you said makes sense. Perhaps I should try to believe in you, the younger generations. I don't know how long I can live, but living another thousand years should not be a problem. I hope you can let me see your determination." AZ stood up from the ground and walked away, but now his back was no longer hunched, but full of vitality.
"Really? You're an old antique, but you're still trying to act cool like a youngster. But I have to say, this is really cool. This is what a man should say!"
Gongsun Yan looked at AZ's receding back, cursed with a smile, then turned to look at his side and spoke to the Eternal Flower that had appeared beside him at some point.
"You said so, Huayedi!"
Hua Yeti's eyes were filled with tears and she nodded heavily. She had waited for three thousand years and finally saw the familiar AZ again. She was so excited that she couldn't speak.
"Okay, stop crying and go over there quickly. I think if you appear in front of him now, he will not be stingy with his hugs and tears, so hurry up." Gongsun Yan could hardly suppress the smile on his lips. This kind of happy ending was what he liked to see the most.
Hua Yeti gave Gongsun Yan a look full of gratitude, then took out a seed from the pistil of the eternal flower in her hand and handed it to Gongsun Yan. After doing all this, Hua Yeti began to chase after AZ's back.
"Hmm~, that's right. I can say that I have accomplished a great deed by facilitating this scene." Gongsun Yan looked at the seed in his hand and immediately understood how to use it. It seemed that Huayedi had been hiding beside AZ, and naturally knew about the previous game, so she directly gave him the props to solve the problem.
"No, I think you haven't done your best yet! How about we talk about compensation?" At this time, a murderous voice came from behind Gongsun Yan, causing Gongsun Yan's expression to freeze.
"Ahem, isn't this President Damalanqi? Are you taking a walk? I won't disturb you anymore. Bye!" Gongsun Yan knew who said this without turning around. He chatted for a few words and was about to run away.
"Think carefully about what will happen if you run away..." After hearing what Dama Lanqi said, Gongsun Yan had no choice but to stop and followed President Dama Lanqi back to his office, and then the scene at the beginning of the previous chapter appeared.
"Hehe, we're all high from fighting. Don't worry, I'll compensate you according to the price. I just don't know if you can accept payment in 32 installments." Gongsun Yan admitted his mistake at the first opportunity, and his tone was as cowardly as he could be.
"...You are only so obedient at this time. No need. The Alliance is not so incapable of giving out such a small amount of money. But since you have made such a strong request, I really need you to do something."
"Actually, I didn't have any strong demands... No, the Alliance is my home, and these are what I should do!" Gongsun Yan tried to escape at first, but was scared back by Dama Lanqi's eyes.
"It's very simple. Genji is planning to retire, and he specifically asked you to take his place. You should prepare yourself first, because there are many things waiting for you after you take over." President Damalanqi said this very calmly, which made Gongsun Yan's eyes widen.
"What?! Are you two too old or suffering from Alzheimer's? I'm only ten years old. You are destroying the flowers of our country by doing this. No, I won't agree to this!"
"By the way, isn't Teacher Qianli a candidate for the title of Heavenly King? Wouldn't it be better to let Teacher Qianli take over? That's it, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!" Gongsun Yan instantly burst out with the fastest speaking speed in his life, quickly threw the blame on Qianli, then rushed out of the door, and disappeared within two seconds.
"Sigh~" President Damalanqi looked at the open door of his office, sighed deeply, and pressed a button under his desk. After a rumbling sound, a secret door suddenly opened on the wall next to him, revealing a small lounge inside.
"Bang!" King Genji slammed his sandbag-sized fist on the table, his face full of regret. He really felt that Gongsun Yan was very suitable to inherit his position, not only because Gongsun Yan was very much to his liking, but also because of Gongsun Yan's amazing Pokémon configuration.
"That bastard!"
Don't be surprised, King Genji is not dissatisfied with Gongsun Yan... Well, okay, he is indeed dissatisfied, but he is not dissatisfied with Gongsun Yan's refusal to inherit his position, but he is dissatisfied with the evaluation of him given by Gongsun Yan. He is a man of the sea, how can a word like Alzheimer's disease be used to describe him.
Chapter 465: The Hoenn Region
"Really..."
Mikoli sat on the sofa, looking at King Genji getting angry with an amusement on his face, the smile on his face almost unable to be suppressed.
"Hahaha, this kid is so genuine, I like him!"
A man with a Mohawk hairstyle sat lazily on the sofa, his shoulders twitching with laughter. He pointed at the TV on the table which was showing what happened in the office just now, and laughed out loud.
This person is none other than Kagetsu, the Evil King of the Hoenn region. Although he doesn't have many roles in the anime, his strength is... just at the normal King level. I don't know if it's a tradition in the Hoenn region, but there are few normal Four Heavenly Kings and Champions in office. They are either thinking about retiring or giving up, and Kagetsu is the same.
"I really want to spar with someone today. Huayue, I'll wait for you at the training ground!" Genji glanced at Huayue, sneered, turned around and walked out of the room.
"Hey!" Hua Yue was also confused when she heard this. The plot shouldn't be like this. Shouldn't you teach that kid a lesson yourself? Why did the anger suddenly burn on me?
"May you be blessed. I'm leaving first." The ghost king Furong patted Huayue's shoulder with a look of suppressed laughter and walked out of the room quickly. She felt that if she didn't leave quickly, she would not be able to suppress her smile.
Although it's not impossible to just laugh, it would be a bit disrespectful to colleagues. After all, Kagetsu is already one of the more honest ones among the Four Heavenly Kings of Hoenn.
Of course, this honesty does not refer to his image, but to his character. Although Huayue looks like a biker gang, and actually is one, he is also the only one among the Four Heavenly Kings who will honestly complete his duties. Furong has thrown her work to Huayue more than once. If you laugh at him in front of Huayue, it always feels like he is repaying kindness with enmity.
"Really? They are just a bunch of kids after all!" Looking at this group of unruly colleagues, the slightly older Ice King Bonnie shook her head and left the room with graceful steps.
The reason why the Four Heavenly Kings and the champion of the Hoenn region gathered here was certainly not to test Gongsun Yan's ability, or it was not the main purpose. All the previous Saiyou Conferences had this tradition. The Four Heavenly Kings would come to watch the finals to inspire the new generation of trainers.
However, this rule is not mandatory, and there is no limit on the number of people, so in previous years usually only one of the Four Heavenly Kings came to watch the battle. The reason why so many people came this time is naturally because they knew the true strength of Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi, and came to join in the fun.
"Mikoli! Save me! Big brother Genji would never joke. Since he said he would ravage me, he will never let me go!" Huayue pounced and hugged Mikoli, who was also about to leave. She looked heartbroken and her voice was so miserable that it made anyone who heard it cry.
"Remember, when you go out, you will be facing the Four Heavenly Kings and Kagetsu of the Hoenn region. Wait until you have cried enough before going out. Genji should not mind waiting for you a little longer. Don't lose the reputation of the Four Heavenly Kings!" Mikoli looked at Kagetsu who was holding his thighs and refused to let go. He squatted down helplessly and said with sympathy.
"I..." Huayue felt bad all over. She couldn't help but recall the past when she was young and hot-tempered, and openly provoked Genji, but was beaten by Dragonite. Then she stood up quickly and walked out as if she was going to die. The wind was whistling and the Yishui River was cold. The hero would never come back once he left!
It is really hard for ordinary people to imagine that the five people who symbolize the highest combat power in the Hoenn region actually get along like this in private. It looks like five bad friends gathered together, and the sense of unreachable distance has been reduced a lot, making them more down-to-earth.
“So, what kind of life does Darkranli go through every day? I thought the four problem kids in the Kanto region were difficult enough, but it turns out you guys are no less terrible!” President Damalanchi at the side felt like he was about to die. How on earth did these guys become the Four Heavenly Kings?
No wonder Darkranli asked for leave to recuperate after he came to Hoenn. It seems that he has been exhausted both physically and mentally. It is really not easy to face these unreliable guys every day!
At this time, President Damalanchi suddenly began to miss the four problem children in Kanto. Although Sheba and Du ran between Kanto and Johto, they would try their best to complete their own affairs; although Kona was a little irritable because she couldn't find a suitable boyfriend, nothing serious happened in the Seven Islands under her leadership; as for Kikuko...
Thinking of this, President Damalanchi's mood suddenly turned bad. It was obvious that Kikuko wanted to retire, and as an elder he couldn't stop the junior he favored from pursuing his own life. Besides, they were not too old, and he might even have a great-grandson.
As for the position of the Four Heavenly Kings vacant after Kikuko retired, President Damarachi suddenly thought of Aju, the gym trainer of the Crimson Gym, who had performed very well in the assessment and was more than qualified to be one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
But thinking of this, President Damalanchi suddenly felt that his situation was no better than that of Darklanli. Could it be that the Four Heavenly Kings and the Champion were cursed? If they were not funny, they could not take the position?
Just when President Damalanqi was doubting his life and felt that the alliance was doomed, Mikoli, who was stopped by Huayue and failed to leave in time, looked at President Damalanqi with a slightly solemn expression.
"I say, President, you don't really intend to let Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi use those two to play in the finals, do you?"
Mikoli really didn't understand how President Damalanqi agreed to such an outrageous thing. It's not that there are no divine beast masters in the alliance now, but those divine beast masters will not come to participate in the alliance competition. If two divine beasts really appeared in the final to fight, Mikoli could imagine what kind of grand occasion would occur.
"Haha, isn't this great? It's a good opportunity for some old stubborn people in the alliance to see how outstanding today's young people are." President Damalanqi responded to Mikoli with a smile, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Well, you make the decision. I still have to think about how to let that bastard Daigo take over the championship position again. He thinks no one knows that he has returned to Hoenn? Ridiculous!" A wicked smile flashed across Mikoli's mouth, as if he had already figured out how to deal with Daigo.
Chapter 466: Tips for Improving Favorability
"Phew~, luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have been stuck in the position of the Four Heavenly Kings for the rest of my life. If I had really agreed to it, that vengeful guy Michaeli would never let me go." Gongsun Yan rushed to the Pokémon Center on the first floor in one breath, and only when he was among the crowd did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hiss, I'm so hungry, let's go eat!" After breathing a sigh of relief, Gongsun Yan heard the growling sound of his stomach. He looked at the time above his head and found that it had been a long time since mealtime. No wonder he was so hungry.
Because Gongsun Yan had explained the situation to Xiaozhi and the others before the battle with AZ, Gongsun Yan didn't need to go over to meet up with them, even though they probably had already finished their desserts.
After realizing this, Gongsun Yan rushed to the cafeteria of the Pokémon Center as soon as possible. There would always be sufficient food reserves there at all times, and the taste was definitely not bad.
Maybe Gongsun Yan was too hungry. The previous battle took him too much energy. Gongsun Yan spent almost an hour on this meal and asked for more rice three times. As a result, the chef in the kitchen couldn't help but smile when he saw Gongsun Yan. For a chef, diners like Gongsun Yan are undoubtedly their favorite.
However, after Gongsun Yan finished his late lunch, he was surprised to find that he seemed to be late. Xiaozhi's game had already started, and he could not hear the message because his Pokémon Navigator was in his backpack.
After realizing that he was late, Gongsun Yan hurried to the main venue. Fortunately, the distance between the Pokémon Center and the main venue was not far, and Gongsun Yan successfully arrived at the scene during the half-time break. Although he missed the first half of the game, at least he did not miss the second half.
Gongsun Yan, who arrived late, was constantly criticized by Xiaozhi and others. Knowing that he was in the wrong, Gongsun Yan naturally signed various unequal treaties. At least the midnight snacks for the past few days were all paid for by Gongsun Yan.
But everyone was just joking. They had to eat midnight snacks, but they wouldn't get angry. After all, Gongsun Yan also explained why he did that. Of course, Gongsun Yan would not reveal the existence of AZ. It had nothing to do with trust or not. He just simply didn't want to get involved.
After hearing Gongsun Yan's reasons, everyone tacitly did not ask any further questions, but expressed their approval. However, Gongsun Yan should not think of escaping from the midnight snack, as they were most enthusiastic about eating at lavish restaurants.
While playing, Xiaoyao came to Gongsun Yan and whispered to him that Liliae was not in a good mood, and asked Gongsun Yan to go and comfort her.
Although Gongsun Yan didn't understand what Xiaoyao was up to, he considered himself a "friend of women" and naturally would not sit idly by. He immediately said that he would make Lilia laugh.
Looking at Gongsun Yan who was thinking about a joke, everyone present, even Xiaozhi, the straight man, felt that they couldn't stand it. They wondered why Gongsun Yan, whose emotional intelligence should be pretty good, always acted stupidly at this time.
Amid the noise, the second half of the game was about to start. Everyone high-fived Xiaozhi and returned to the audience seats, ready to watch the next game.
Gongsun Yan was the last one to arrive, so he walked behind the crowd. After everyone was seated, he discovered that there was an empty seat next to Liliae. This scene made Gongsun Yan feel something was wrong, but he still sat down obediently.
"Humph!"
After seeing Gongsun Yan finally arrived, Liliae's eyes lit up at first, and then she suddenly remembered something. She snorted and turned her head away. Both her expression and actions expressed one meaning, that is, she was angry and the kind that could not be appeased.
"Ahem, Liliae-chan, what's wrong? Did someone make you unhappy? Tell me if you have anything to say, and I'll help you teach him a lesson!" Gongsun Yan coughed lightly, and quickly switched his voice to the 'childish talk' mode, and moved closer to Liliae in a very corny way.
Although the people present did not look directly at the two people, they were always paying attention to them out of the corner of their eyes. Originally, they were just a little worried, but then they heard Gongsun Yan's disgusting voice, and they inexplicably felt a little nauseous.
"Ni Zou Kai, and don't talk in such a disgusting way." Liliae was obviously disgusted by Gongsun Yan's voice. She kept rubbing her arms with her hands, as if trying to rub off the goose bumps on them.
"Oh, don't say that. Come on, let me tell you a very funny story." Gongsun Yan knew that he must not be thin-skinned at this time, and being shameless was the real way to go.
(The following scene is lost. The author really couldn't think of how to coax a girl, especially a girl under ten years old. This is a blind spot in knowledge. When the author was ten years old, he was still in the state of "Girls are so annoying!", so please use your imagination to fill in the following content. Just think of it as Gongsun Yan coaxing Liliae with witty words.)
"By the way, Liliae, I'm going to show you a magic trick. Do you want to see it?" Gongsun Yan extended his right hand with a mysterious look on his face, letting Liliae see that there was nothing in his hand.
"Hmm? What kind of magic?" As expected, Liliae was attracted by Gongsun Yan's behavior and looked at him with anticipation.
"It's very simple, that is, bang!" Gongsun Yan snapped his fingers with a smile and made sounds with his mouth. As his words fell, a cloud of pink smoke appeared on his hand and covered his right hand.
"This beautiful flower is for you who are equally beautiful." As the smoke slowly dissipated, a blooming rose suddenly appeared on Gongsun Yan's empty right hand. Gongsun Yan then handed the rose to Liliae.
"Thank you~" Liliae took the rose with a red face and thanked Gongsun Yan in a very small voice. If Gongsun Yan had not had outstanding hearing, he really could not hear what Liliae was saying.
"Hehe, you're welcome." Gongsun Yan winked at the people around him with a smile on his face, as if to say, 'See, I told you I can handle it!'
"This guy, could he be an emotional idiot..." After seeing Gongsun Yan's husky-like eyes, the people around him silently complained in their hearts.
Chapter 467 The Mysterious Photographer
"Kacha!"
Just when Gongsun Yan was feeling proud of himself, he suddenly heard the sound of a camera taking pictures next to his ears. When Gongsun Yan looked around, he found nothing.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Liliae asked confusedly.
"Oh, nothing, I'm just a little concerned." Gongsun Yan said vaguely. He was quite confident in his perception, but after searching for a while he found nothing, which made him wonder if he was hallucinating.
Just when Gongsun Yan was doubting his life, a man was hiding in the shadow of the distant passage, looking at the photos he had just taken out of the camera, with an evil smile on his face.
"Interesting, really interesting. A residual soul that was supposed to dissipate actually became solid and merged with the new soul. It turned out to be the right decision not to stop my journey~"
The photo in that person's hand showed Gongsun Yan and his group communicating with each other. However, Xiao Zhi looked very solid in the photo and stood out compared to the others.
In addition to Xiaozhi, there is another person whose appearance is different from others, that is Gongsun Yan. However, unlike Xiaozhi, Gongsun Yan's appearance seems so unreal that if you look carefully, you can even see double.
But as time went by, the image of Gongsun Yan in the photo became more and more solid, and in the end it was even comparable to Xiaozhi's image.
"Come to think of it, I can come to this world thanks to this kid, otherwise my dimensional wall really can't open the passage to this world." After saying this, the other party suddenly disappeared into the shadows.
At this moment, Gongsun Yan suddenly looked towards the passage thoughtfully. He seemed to feel a sense of being watched from there. If it were just that, it would be fine, but he felt that the gaze was very familiar and he was a little confused.
"Tank Skunk has lost his ability to fight, Pikachu wins! Please ask contestant Wang Xiaoming to release the next Pokémon."
Just when Gongsun Yan was about to continue thinking, the referee's loud reading of the game result pulled Gongsun Yan out of his thinking state. It was not until this time that he realized that Xiaozhi was still in the game.
It was not until this time that Gongsun Yan realized how intense this game of Xiaozhi's was. Both sides had lost three Pokémon, and the fallen Tank Skunk was Wang Xiaoming's fourth Pokémon.
"It seems that the first half of the game was very intense. It's a pity that I couldn't see it." Gongsun Yan said sincerely.
