"Don't look at me like that. I know you don't believe it, but it's true. I'm obviously no match for the Four Heavenly Kings right now. Suicune is just following me and can't be considered my own strength. When I become stronger, I will challenge them."
After hearing Xiaozhi's reasons, everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and then continued to ignore Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi, not caring at all that they were the hosts of this party.
"By the way, Xiaozhi, you are going to challenge the battle frontier area later, right?" Gongsun Yan suddenly asked.
"Well, yes, it is said that Mr. Kamishiro there is very powerful, not inferior to the Four Heavenly Kings, so I want to challenge him. Xiaoyan, what about you?" Xiaozhi said.
"The Battle Frontier is indeed a good place, but I probably won't challenge it. The Quartz Conference should be held in the second half of the year. I should challenge the gym. After all, I'm not good at Pokémon level tests."
"Oh, that's a pity. We may not be able to travel together. Although the battle facilities and gyms are very similar, they are no longer together. Besides, Xiaoyao also wants to go to Kanto to challenge the Gorgeous Competition. So we may not have enough time." Xiaozhi said regretfully.
"It's nothing, it's just that we can't travel together. Our friendship won't change because of this. And it happens that Xiaoyao is going to Kanto for the first time too, so you can take care of her for a while." Gongsun Yan said nonchalantly.
"So, Xiaoyan, you are going to travel alone from now on?" Xiaozhi asked.
"Well, who knows..." When Gongsun Yan said this, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Liliae. It turned out that Liliae was also secretly looking at Gongsun Yan. Their eyes met directly and they both blushed.
"Oh~" Xiaozhi looked at Gongsun Yan as if he understood, with a sly smile on his face.
"Ahem, let's not talk about this anymore and move on to the next topic." Gongsun Yan coughed twice softly to hide his inner panic.
Although Xiaozhi did not continue to tease Gongsun Yan, Gongsun Yan obviously remembered it and was preparing to take revenge on Xiaozhi later. Now he began to think in his mind, is it possible to abduct Serena from the Kalos region, so that he can tease Xiaozhi too.
"By the way, although the battle frontier is pretty cool, with your strength, you can finish it in less than two months. Have you thought about where you want to go next?"
Gongsun Yan couldn't think of a reasonable way to bring Serena from the Kalos region, so the idea of watching Xiaozhi's fun had to be shelved for the time being. However, Gongsun Yan did not give up the idea. Once he found a way, Xiaozhi would be in trouble.
"Next? Uh... I haven't decided where to travel next." Xiaozhi shook his head. His current plan only covers the battle frontier, and he has no plans for the rest.
Chapter 501 Alliance Prosecutor
"Hey, you're not going to continue challenging gyms, collecting badges, and participating in league competitions next, are you?"
Gongsun Yan looked at Xiaozhi with dead eyes. He was just joking at first, but when he saw Xiaozhi's sudden realization, Gongsun Yan felt sick. Did you really plan this?
“I’m telling you, with your current strength, collecting badges, challenging gyms, and participating in league competitions, doesn’t it feel a little low?” Gongsun Yan said, rubbing his temple.
"Oh, it's okay." Xiao Zhi said weakly, and Gongsun Yan felt that his low blood pressure that had lasted for many years was cured instantly.
Gongsun Yan also understood that what Xiaozhi coveted was not some vulgar championship title... Well, it was still a little attractive, but what Xiaozhi wanted most was to fight against all kinds of strong men.
In the league tournament, those who can compete for the championship position are undoubtedly excellent opponents for Xiaozhi now, not to mention that the winner will have the opportunity to challenge the Elite Four, or even the championship.
Although Xiaozhi is not in a hurry to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings now, the more opportunities the better. Besides, he can accumulate the chances and see more Pokémon. Why not do it?
"It would be great if we could skip the gym challenge and directly challenge those strong people who are at the top~, that's what you think."
Xiaozhi was still thinking about something when Gongsun Yan suddenly spoke out his thoughts, which scared Xiaozhi. He thought that Gongsun Yan had released Gardevoir and used his psychic powers to sense his thoughts.
"Don't think too much. I didn't cheat with Gardevoir. Besides, you already have the power of wave, so why are you afraid of superpowers? Although you can't use it, it will protect its master." Gongsun Yan said helplessly.
"Forget it, I won't keep you in suspense. You should prepare well when you challenge the battle frontier. President Dama Lanqi will give you an entry assessment for the alliance inspector."
"Alliance Inspector?"
When Xiaozhi suddenly heard about this position, his first reaction was "What the hell is that?", but he quickly realized that he seemed to have heard Xiaogang mention this position before.
"I seem to have heard of this position. Xiaogang seemed to have said before that his gym was evaluated by the Inspector not long ago, and he barely passed the evaluation."
Gongsun Yan actually knew about this matter. In fact, the whole story was very simple. Xiaogang's two unreliable parents went out to play and left their gym to Xiaogang's younger brother Jiro to take care of.
Originally this wasn't a big problem, he just needed to let his children look after the gym, but those two scumbags didn't want to come back after being outside, so Jiro could only act as the gym trainer. But at this time, the Inspector came.
"Yes, the League Inspector is responsible for monitoring whether the operating mechanisms of each gym meet the standards specified by the Pokémon League, as well as the content of the gym owner's challenges and whether his or her personal attitude is up to standard." Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi explained what an inspector is.
As we all know, people in positions like Inspector often travel in plain clothes when performing tasks. They will not easily reveal their identities and strive to see the most realistic performance of the gym.
Then the Nibe Gym was captured. The gym trainer had been away from the gym for nearly a month, and the gym leader was actually a child who had just turned ten years old. You have to know that Xiaogang took over the gym when he was twelve years old.
This undoubtedly gave the Inspector a very bad impression, but fortunately Jiro performed very well and managed to save his own gym from the Inspector, and in the end he was only given a warning.
"So you want me to be the inspector?" Xiaozhi asked in disbelief.
"Yes, the president convinced me to be the lobbyist. Besides, your position is not an ordinary inspector, but a special inspector."
"As for what a special inspector is, I haven't heard any details. In short, it means more power and fewer constraints. The prerequisite for becoming a special inspector is to be a divine beast master." Gongsun Yan said with interest.
"I also know what you want to say. Special inspectors can know each other's identities and arrange a fight."
"Then I'll join!"
After hearing that he could fight against a strong enemy, Xiaozhi agreed immediately. Gongsun Yan had also joined in anyway, and he still trusted Gongsun Yan's judgment.
"Ok, then my mission is complete. If I'm not mistaken, Xiaozhi, you should be sent to the Sinnoh region for gym inspection. As long as you have completed the inspection of the basic facilities, you can directly reveal your identity and fight against the gym trainers. They will definitely go all out."
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Xiaozhi was directly attracted by the big picture that Gongsun Yan painted. Besides, Gongsun Yan was not talking nonsense. The Inspectors could definitely see the true strength of the gym masters, and the gym masters were naturally the upper forces in each region.
In fact, the reason why Damalanqi recruited Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi, besides their identities as beast masters, there were other reasons. Now the atmosphere in many gyms in the alliance is not very good, and he has long wanted to send people to rectify it.
First of all, the people sent out must be strong enough. Even if they do not have the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings, the difference cannot be too big. The two of them are obviously satisfied with this.
After all, if you want to become an Inspector, you must first have the strength to convince the public. Many gym owners hide a lot of things and will show mercy to ordinary challengers, but if it is an Inspector who comes to inspect... there is a high probability that he will strike hard.
Moreover, this candidate cannot be a local, otherwise he is likely to be corrupt and abuse his power for personal gain; nor can he be a well-known strong man, otherwise he will be recognized as soon as he shows his face, and it will be clear at a glance whether he can win or not.
Considering all the above conditions, the twin stars Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi appeared directly in Dama Lanqi's eyes. They are simply the perfect candidates.
Damalanchi was really scared by this group of gym leaders. There was already a Melissa who participated in various glamour competitions and spent more time in the gym than on the road.
Now there is another person who throws the gym badges at the gate for challengers to take at will. This is simply jumping over Damalanchi's bottom line. This situation is tantamount to a provocation to the Pokémon League. How can he not be annoyed?
Chapter 502: I am honest and I am proud!
"Uh, just give the badge for free? What a unique gym leader." Xiaozhi felt it was outrageous just by listening to it.
"Although you agreed, I will still tell you the other benefits. Then you can skip the league tournament and directly fight against the Four Heavenly Kings and the champion of Sinnoh." Gongsun Yan looked like an uncle selling small commodities in the alley. He came close to Xiaozhi and said.
"Also, let me give you a friendly reminder, the current Sinnoh champion is very powerful, and will definitely be a formidable enemy."
"Don't say anything, I promised, after I finish challenging the battle frontier, I will definitely go to the Sinnoh region!" There seemed to be little stars twinkling in Xiaozhi's eyes.
Being able to fight against powerful gym leaders and later directly challenge the Elite Four and the Champion, the Inspector is definitely the most suitable position for him.
"Ok, then I'll tell President Damarachi that in three months everything the Inspector needs will be delivered to Pallet Town, and you can then go to the Oak Laboratory to get it. By the way, there's also information about the Sinnoh region that I'll provide as a friendly favor." Gongsun Yan said with a big promise.
"Oh, by the way, Xiaoyan, you should have agreed to it too. Since I'm going to the Sinnoh region, someone has already gone to Kanto, and you can't be the one going to Hoenn, so are you going to Johto?" Xiaozhi suddenly asked.
"Well, President Damalanji did suggest this, but I didn't agree. Compared to a place that already has a gym, I would rather go to a place without a gym to complete the league competition matters."
In response to Xiaozhi's question, Gongsun Yan gave a vague explanation. His guilty reaction made Xiaozhi realize that something was wrong. Then he thought about the place where there was no gym, so that must be the Alola region.
"Oh~, I understand, I understand, I understand." Xiaozhi couldn't hold back the smirk on his face, and patted Gongsun Yan's shoulder heavily with such force that Gongsun Yan couldn't help but grin.
"Hey, you guy, don't you know how strong your hands are? Be gentler." Gongsun Yan slapped Xiaozhi's hand down in annoyance.
"What have you two been whispering about just now?" Xiaogang came over and asked.
Gongsun Yan and Xiao Zhi naturally did not hide anything and told everyone that they had agreed to become Inspectors. Everyone present knew that the two were going to become Inspectors and they all sent their blessings.
"Ah, the Inspector. Every gym leader dislikes the Inspector." After Xiaogang finished his blessing, his face suddenly darkened and he couldn't help but complain.
He used to be a gym leader, so he naturally knew how bad the reputation of the Inspectors was among gym leaders. Now his best friend had suddenly turned into an Inspector, and he felt a little conflicted.
Qianli, who was present, had the same idea as Xiaogang. More than a month ago, he was a disciple who was beaten and punished by him, but now he has become an inspector standing over the head of the gym leader. He had complicated feelings.
"It seems like something very extraordinary..." Liliae blinked her big eyes, as if she thought of something, and said happily to Gongsun Yan.
"Does this mean that Xiaoyan, you are an official now?"
"Well, it should be. And it's not just me, Xiaozhi is here too."
Gongsun Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He actually hadn't figured out how to face Liliae yet. Boys always seemed anxious in front of the people they were used to, and everyone present looked at them with meaningful eyes, so Gongsun Yan could only try to change the subject.
"Xiaogang, you should be going with Xiaozhi as well." Gongsun Yan asked Xiaogang.
"Of course." Xiao Gang agreed without any hesitation. He had finally returned the position of gym leader to his father, and he had only been traveling for less than two years. Naturally, he didn't want to go back.
Besides, his brother is now grown up and can handle even the Inspector. It would be the same even if he doesn't go back. He has finally gained his freedom and certainly doesn't plan to stay where he is.
Besides, he also wanted to see the Sinnoh region. Being challenged by the Inspector is one thing, but following the Inspector to challenge and become a gym leader is another thing. Xiaogang is looking forward to the scene at that time.
"It's Xiao Gang indeed!"
Xiaozhi held Xiaogang's hand with shining eyes, and the flame of friendship between the men burned fiercely.
"What about you, Xiaoyao?"
"It's hard for me to say. It seems that Harry and Xiao Shun want to go to the Johto area." Xiao Yao shook her head and did not agree immediately.
"It's okay, our friendship won't change even if we don't travel together." Xiaozhi was not disappointed, but began to comfort Xiaoyao.
In addition to Xiaozhi and others, everyone else present also had their own plans. The end of the Caiyou Conference meant the end of their trip, but it also meant the beginning of a new trip. Perhaps this was the fate of a trainer, always on the road.
"Well, the Quartz Conference is still a long time away, so I plan to relax for a while before traveling to the Kanto region. After all, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood." Gongsun Yan stretched and said casually.
"Oh~!" There was nothing wrong with what Gongsun Yan said, but it was because of this group of people that they had abnormal thoughts.
But it's not their fault for thinking in the wrong way. After all, the Alola region is a famous tourist destination. When most people think of traveling, they have to go to Alola. Coupled with what happened to Gongsun Yan before, it's natural for them to make this connection.
"You, stop talking nonsense, I never said such words, don't insult my innocence!" Gongsun Yan retorted loudly, but everyone present noticed that Gongsun Yan's words were blunt and his meaning was false, and they all showed a knowing smile.
Gongsun Yan didn't have the guts to refute. He had this idea in his mind. You know, the Alola region is an island. If it's an island, what's missing? Of course, it's a lady in a swimsuit!
When thinking of that scene, Gongsun Yan couldn't control himself. If he didn't restrain himself, he would show it. In order not to be regarded as hentai, Gongsun Yan could only shift his gaze to the side. As a result, as if he was attracted by something, he saw Liliae at a glance.
"As for Liliae, it seems that..."
Well, Gongsun Yan gave up the resistance, they can laugh if they want, he just gave up, I just have ulterior motives, so what?! I am honest and I am proud!
Chapter 503 Return to Chenghua City
"Xiao Yan, what did King Genji say?"
Seeing Gongsun Yan walking out of the office building, Xiaozhi and others who were waiting outside asked curiously.
"Um, it's nothing. They just asked me to promise something. It's no big deal." Gongsun Yan said vaguely.
Seeing that Gongsun Yan had no intention of explaining in detail, everyone naturally did not ask any more questions. If Gongsun Yan wanted to tell them, he would tell them. Everyone then began to discuss where to go shopping in Chenghua City.
After yesterday's party, everyone left Caiyou City one after another. They had been traveling for several months and it was time to go home.
And because Gongsun Yan had promised King Genji before, he postponed his return time. Xiaozhi and others were naturally waiting for Gongsun Yan here. Anyway, it was very fast to take the bullet train from Caiyou City to Chenghua City, and they could arrive in the afternoon.
Seeing that no one was going to ask any more questions, Gongsun Yan breathed a sigh of relief. There was nothing he could do about it. What King Genji had said to him was so shocking that he didn't dare to say it out loud.
There was no way. As soon as Gongsun Yan walked into the office, King Genji said that if Gongsun Yan held his wedding in Alola in the future, he would lend his fleet to Gongsun Yan for free.
To be honest, this sentence was beyond Gongsun Yan's expectations. It was like a depth charge that stunned Gongsun Yan. You old man don't look like you are interested in women. Is it really okay to make fun of a junior like this?
Recalling the topics he talked about with King Genji, Gongsun Yan could not help but smile bitterly. He had to admit that King Genji was really good at taking advantage of his seniority. No matter how he explained that he was not a pervert, the other party simply did not care and kept repeating that he came back to show his support, which made Gongsun Yan feel desperate.
However, King Genji was only a little stubborn on this matter. After Gongsun Yan agreed to it, he started to talk about business.
Well, although it is a serious matter, it is still not very serious. King Genji grabbed Gongsun Yan and communicated with him emotionally and logically. To sum it up, it can be said in one sentence.
"Xiao Yan, as a good man of Hoenn, you must not be defeated by Alola's honey trap. I am counting on you to become the first Dragon King of Hoenn."
"Well, let's not talk about whether it's a beauty trap or not. Not all the Pokémon I have are dragon-type. Isn't it inappropriate to be a dragon-type champion?"
"No problem. That kid Du can be called the Dragon King. He has a group of Pokémon that only have dragon names but no dragon attributes, so why can't you?"
"..."
After hearing what King Genji said, Gongsun Yan had nothing to refute. After all, he also thought so. The title of the Flying King Du was as widely known as Xiaozhi.
After Gongsun Yan repeatedly assured that he would not succumb to the beauty trap, King Genji drove him out. He had basically given up his position as king now, and after talking with Gongsun Yan, he could finally go sailing on the sea with peace of mind.
Before leaving, Gongsun Yan asked a rude question, asking King Genji which sea area he planned to drift to, and got an unexpected but reasonable answer.
"Of course it's in the sea around Alola. Don't I have to keep a close eye on you?"
Looking at the look in King Genji's eyes that said, "You kid will definitely not be able to resist the temptation," Gongsun Yan became speechless. The thing that made Gongsun Yan feel most uncomfortable was that he actually felt the same way. This was terrifying.
"Okay, okay, let's hurry up and get on the bus, so that we can set off early and reach our destination earlier. Don't you still want to go shopping?" Gongsun Yan hurriedly greeted everyone.
Since Gongsun Yan had urged them to continue, no one continued chatting. There was still plenty of time to chat in the car anyway, and everyone had their luggage with them.
Gongsun Yan and the others didn't have much luggage, except for Lusamine and Xingzi, who had more luggage. However, with the help of Gongsun Yan's natural supernatural powers, they were able to carry away the luggage easily.
..........................................................................................
"Oh, we're finally here. This journey has exhausted me both physically and mentally!!!" Gongsun Yan had just walked out of the station when he couldn't help but hug the big tree next to him, attracting the attention of everyone in the station.
