Although the World Tree is a tree and looks like a tree, it is actually a huge rock mountain.
Gongsun Yan didn't know what others were thinking, but he knew that Daigo must not be allowed to see the World Tree, otherwise his DNA might riot.
The precious fossils originally existing in the World Tree are Daigo's favorite collections, but compared with the rock mountain of the World Tree, those fossils are simply not worth mentioning.
If it was Daigo standing here now, he would most likely swing his pickaxe and hoe and dig through the World Tree.
Just look at the Pokémon in his hands, none of them is good for mining. Mining has become Daigo's instinctive behavior, almost on the same level as Gongsun Yan's hamster man characteristics.
Think about Daigo's shiny Mega Metagross, it doesn't seem impossible, right? Well, fortunately Daigo wasn't there, and Yggdrasil escaped.
In fact, Daigo had really been to the city of Orudron, but he only came to participate in the festival of the Wave Heroes, and he came with Mikoli, but he did not participate in the competition.
And the two of them left early the next day without paying any attention to the World Tree at all. This made Daigo stamp his feet and beat his chest when he recalled the past, wishing he could strangle his old self to death.
Well, this is what Daigo said to Gongsun Yan in person. Just now when Daigo was sending Pokémon to the alliance, he took the opportunity to call Gongsun Yan and complained to him.
This made Gongsun Yan feel a little helpless, but he couldn't hang up the phone first, so he could only listen to Daigo complain.
It is said that Daigo is still wandering in the Kalos region and would never dare to return to the Hoenn region. Mikoli has already made it known that if he sees Daigo, he will beat him up.
So since Mikoli said this to Daigo, how could Daigo bear it? So he...oh, he actually didn't know that Mikoli said this.
Anyway, when Gongsun Yan told this story, Daigo looked confused. Gongsun Yan knew that Daigo was addicted to mining and had no idea that Mikoli had already hunted him down under his real name.
After all, when Daigo was chatting with Gongsun Yan, the background behind him was a dark rock wall, and even the only light was the oil lamp in Daigo's hand. It seemed that he was in a mine now.
Daigo's phone call with Gongsun Yan was not simply to complain, but also to show off to Gongsun Yan what he had gained in the Kalos region.
"Did you rob anyone?"
Gongsun Yan looked at the dozens of mega stones in front of the screen and fell into deep thought. He began to wonder whether he should give up the path of a trainer and go mining with Daigo. This is more profitable than robbery!
"Haha, these are the stones calling me!"
Faced with Gongsun Yan's doubts, Daigo used his ultimate move "The Stone is Calling", leaving Gongsun Yan at a loss as to what to say.
Well, anyway, Gongsun Yan just chatted with Daigo casually for a while, and after hearing that Mikoli had issued a kill order against him, Daigo expressed his understanding.
Yes, he understood it very well. After all, if Mikoli did the same to him, he would also hunt him down all over the world.
So, Daigo decided to run away quickly, because according to Gongsun Yan, Mikoli had already had a friendly conversation with the champion of Kalos, Karunori, and would come to the Kalos region soon to discuss important matters.
Well, that's what the official statement said anyway. As for whether they are here to hunt down Daigo or not, that's a matter of opinion, but it will definitely not be wrong to run away quickly.
By the way, Mikoli used seduction tactics to confuse Kareno. Of course, it was not the kind of seduction you think. There is no need to say that Naqi is so pitiful. Mikoli just agreed to participate in the filming of Kareno's next movie.
However, since Daigo wanted to escape, Gongsun Yan naturally had to give him some help, so he directly suggested that Daigo run to the Alola region.
Gongsun Yan actually didn't want to lure Daigo to the Aether Foundation to ensure that everything was safe. After all, the Alola region is now too safe. Even Team Skull has been incorporated into the Aether Foundation. After all, Guzma is a little fan of Professor Moon and he follows his big brother's footsteps.
After hearing Gongsun Yan's recommendation, Daigo was also very interested. After all, there were Z-pure crystals in the Alola region, and Daigo had known them for a long time.
After hanging up the phone, Daigo packed his luggage very neatly and booked the nearest flight to the Alola region.
Fortunately, the Alola region is a famous holiday destination, otherwise it would not be so easy for Daigo to book a plane ticket.
Don't ask why Daigo, a big shot whose family owns a private jet, doesn't take the private jet but instead books a plane ticket. The reason is to hide his whereabouts and prevent Mikoli from catching up again. His private jet stayed in the Kalos area.
As Daigo left the Kalos region, just half an hour later, a plane flying from the Hoenn region landed in the Kalos region. The aggressive Mikoli ran down from the plane and chased towards the place where Daigo was before.
Unfortunately, Daigo has already run away, and Mikoli is still empty-handed this time...
..........................................................................................
"Road! (Everyone follow my footsteps closely. The fog here is very thick. If you get lost in it, you will never get out.)"
Gongsun Yan and his group were madly approaching the World Tree. Lucario, a guy who had been to the World Tree before, took the initiative to act as a guide, leading everyone forward, and also using waveguide to guide everyone all the way, gradually going deeper into the mist.
"Tsk tsk, this waveguide ability is really convenient and has many uses. It can be said to be the best special ability."
Looking at Lucario's handsome appearance, Gongsun Yan suddenly felt a little envious. These people or Pokémon with special abilities are really handsome, and their own strength is also very strong. He really can't learn from them.
Don't mention that Gongsun Yan also has a golden finger or something. Although this golden finger is very powerful, it does not help Gongsun Yan's own strength at all. He is still a rookie and was suppressed by Xiaozhi with one hand.
Chapter 188 The Calm Before the War
As Gongsun Yan and others continued to move forward, the thick haze not only did not become thicker, but became thinner. The bright sunshine pierced through the thick fog and shone on everyone.
The closer you get to the World Tree, the more beautiful the surrounding environment becomes. Both the trees and flowers are full of vitality. The low and melodious bird calls surround everyone's ears, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
"Well, the World Tree is right in front of us. I have a suggestion. How about we have lunch first?"
Looking at the huge rock mountain in front of him, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but click his tongue. He really couldn't understand how such thin branches could support the huge rock crown on top.
Gongsun Yan's mind was full of thoughts, and he tried to explain it all with the physics knowledge he had learned in his previous life, and he kept doing force analysis.
Just when Gongsun Yan was about to think of the answer, he suddenly realized that why he cared about so many things. There was no need to know such details about the things in the Pokémon world.
"Okay, we're going to have a big fight later, so let's eat first!"
When they heard about eating, Xiaozhi was the first to agree, and even Lucario who was standing next to him agreed.
Although Xiaozhi and Lucario together ate enough breakfast for six people, they ate a lot and digested it quickly, so they have almost digested it now.
Of course, the two of them are not hungry now. They just digest food quickly, but they have not metabolized all the energy. They are still quite normal when they are not taking action.
However, it is normal to eat something to fill your stomach before doing something big. With food in your stomach, you will not be anxious.
Besides, what Xiaozhi and Lucario are going to do next will consume a lot of nutrients. Although they can be replenished afterwards, it is better to prepare for it in advance.
"Um... although it's a bit early, I should prepare lunch first. I might be very busy later and won't have time to eat lunch."
Xiaogang looked at the bright sun above his head and felt that it was a little strange to eat so early, but since Gongsun Yan had already said so, he decided to get ready.
Besides, it’s not a rule that you have to eat lunch right after it’s ready. At worst, you can just make a sandwich and have some miso soup. If you want to eat, just have a couple of bites. If you don’t want to eat, just keep it with you and eat it when you’re hungry later.
That's it. The proposal to have lunch was approved by everyone, and sandwiches didn't really require any cooking skills, so Liliae and Xiaoyao volunteered to come over and help.
Speaking of which, in the current team, it seems that only Gongsun Yan and Xiao Gang can cook, and the remaining three women...it cannot be said that they can't cook, but it can only be said that their cooking skills are average, very average.
As a famous explorer, Qiduo's cooking skills are actually not bad, but they are often limited to some strange ingredients. You can refer to Bear Grylls' recipes for details.
Anyway, after Gongsun Yan and others knew what cuisine Qiduo was good at, they unanimously decided not to let her get close to the kitchen or stove. It was not because they were afraid that she would poison them, but mainly because except Gongsun Yan, no one else could accept such advanced ingredients.
As for why Gongsun Yan was not afraid... Are you kidding? The descendants of the Great Gourmet Empire are bragging to you? Gongsun Yan has been digging cicada monkeys and frying them since he was a child. When he grew up, he would always order two skewers of crickets when he went out for barbecue. As long as they were cooked, he would not avoid them.
Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Gongsun Yan carefully recalled what happened in his previous life, and he suddenly realized that the cicada monkeys he caught when he was a child were all under certain big trees.
And those big trees, without exception, are outside the men's restroom.
Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just catching cicada monkeys outside the toilet. There’s no problem. But they were too lazy to go to the toilet at that time.
It was an elementary school, an older one at that, and the toilets were all those primitive earthen kangs. Plus, the school couldn't afford to hire someone to flush the toilets every day, so all the students didn't like to go in there.
At that time, girls might have had more dignity and thought it didn't matter if they were a little dirty, as long as they could get into the toilet. But boys didn't care so much and just went with the principle of proximity.
Now that we have come to this, I am sure that my dear readers have guessed it. Yes, those big trees at the door have suffered serious damage. If they continue to be irrigated like this, their roots will definitely be burned.
But Gongsun Yan is not in the mood to care about the big tree that is older than him. He just wants to strangle himself to death. Why go there when there are many other places to dig cicada monkeys!
Okay, let's shift our attention away from that sad thing. Although Xiaoyao and Liliae can cook, they need to use those high-tech equipment, and it is not easy to control the heat in the wild.
However, sandwiches do not require much heat, so the task of frying the eggs was taken over by Gongsun Yan, and Liliae and Xiaoyao only needed to put the ingredients together.
What really takes time is the miso soup, but now there are convenience foods. Although the taste is a bit bland, Xiaogang made some slight improvements and greatly improved the taste of the soup.
"Aww!"
So after just a few minutes, lunch was ready for everyone, and everyone sat on the lawn, eating the sandwiches in their hands.
Originally, Liliae and the others were not very hungry and just wanted to eat a little just to show their appreciation. But after taking the first bite, they couldn't stop eating.
In order to ensure that Xiaozhi and Lucario would have enough energy to help the World Tree, Gongsun Yan specially added some apple puree to the sandwich.
The effect of Appleberry in the game is to restore ten points of PP of one move of a Pokémon, and in the real world it has a refreshing effect.
Moreover, the taste of wild apples is sour, which has the effect of increasing appetite, making everyone unable to stop eating them.
Moreover, the miso soup prepared by Xiaogang was also sour and spicy in taste as suggested by Gongsun Yan, and together with the sandwiches, it greatly stimulated everyone's appetite.
During this time, the two Dreams came out to look for everyone. They had sensed their whereabouts a long time ago, but they had been staying where they were for twenty minutes. They were afraid that something had happened, so they ran over to investigate.
Originally, when they saw everyone having lunch leisurely there, the whole Pokémon felt bad. They were waiting there anxiously, but everyone ended up having a picnic here.
In extreme anger, the two Mews ate up all the remaining food of everyone, then lazily collapsed in Xiaozhi's arms and burped.
ps: Wow, is the review during the National Day so troublesome? The review of the chapter updated last night has not been completed until now. Wow.
Chapter 189: The Flower of Time Appears
"meu~"
After Mew finally digested the food, the two of them went to Xiaozhi's side and kept questioning everyone why they didn't come earlier.
However, these two Dreams are still very cute even when they are angry. Moreover, they have eaten too much just now, their little bellies are still bulging, and the traces of miso soup left at the corners of their mouths have not been wiped off, which makes them even more adorable.
"Okay, okay, we are wrong. We will be here soon."
For some reason, Ash is very good at dealing with this type of tsundere Pokémon. Perhaps it was the experience he gained from catching Chikorita, or maybe he learned it from Misty.
It just so happened that Mew, a Pokémon with a very childish heart, had a temper that came and went quickly, and after being coaxed by Xiaozhi, it immediately forgave everyone.
So, after finishing their lunch, the two Mews went back to observe the World Tree. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to use instant teleportation to bring everyone in. As companion creatures of the World Tree, they still had this power.
However, because Ash is still undergoing the Trial of the Rainbow Hero, Ho-Oh requires Ash not to borrow the power of any legendary Pokémon, but only rely on the power of ordinary Pokémon and his companions to enter the depths of the World Tree.
Because of this limitation, Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi had no plans to use the legendary beasts today, they simply carried them with them.
So why not send the beast to Dasha Valley to help? The answer is simple: no matter which beast it is, it will not help.
Divine beasts, the reason why they are called divine beasts is not because of the name given to them by humans, but because of the Pokémon who worship them.
Although the situation in Dasha Valley is very serious for the Alliance or humans, it is just a very normal situation for these divine beasts. Even if there are casualties, it is normal.
If Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi were there, they could be ordered to take action. After all, for Pokémon, obeying the orders of their trainers is a habit ingrained in their bones.
Legendary Pokémon are also Pokémon. Since they have been captured by Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi, they should obey the orders of their trainers. At most, they have more independent opinions than ordinary Pokémon.
The Pokémon in the Pokémon world are indeed very naive. Even those Pokémon in the hands of members of villain organizations will obediently obey orders.
Take the Pokémon in Team Rocket's hands for example. Of course, we're not talking about the three real protagonists here, who are all very good to their Pokémon. We're talking about the ordinary members here.
Don’t those in their hands know that they are doing bad things?
Yes, they really don’t know. After all, Pokémon are completely unaware of the so-called laws and rules of the human world. They only know to obey their trainers.
But even those ordinary Pokémon will rebel against their trainers, like in the episode about Diglett in the original series, even Pikachu refused to attack Diglett.
It is even more obvious when it comes to the divine beasts. If we really send these gentlemen over there, not only will they not work hard, they won't even work at all.
If the Alliance did something too ruthless, they would even help those fossil Pokémon, so Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi unanimously decided not to make things worse.
Well, that’s enough for the settings. Let’s get on with the rest of the plot. The author can’t write any more.
After lunch, everyone took a short break and walked into the World Tree. It was very narrow at first, but then it became passable. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly became open.
The scenery inside the World Tree is so pleasant that it cannot be described as anything but pleasant. Modern and ancient plants grow harmoniously in it, and the slightly dazzling sunlight from the outside world also appears a lot softer here.
"Inhale, exhale, good guys, be careful, the oxygen concentration here is a bit too high, don't breathe in big gulps, otherwise you will get oxygen intoxication... Oh, Xiaozhi, just do as you please, you don't have to worry about these with your physical fitness."
As soon as Gongsun Yan came in, he took a deep breath and almost choked to death. The oxygen concentration here was too high. After just one breath, Gongsun Yan felt a little dizzy.
This can also explain why fossil Pokémon can survive here. The oxygen concentration required for the growth of those ancient plants would be higher. If the producers survived, then the consumers would naturally survive as well.
Of course, there is no need to worry about these things considering Xiaozhi's physical fitness. Far from looking like everyone else who was facing a formidable enemy, he was rather refreshed and even wanted to do a backflip on the spot to vent the "true energy" surging in his body.
"Okay, let's move forward quickly. The core of the World Tree is right in front of us."
Xiaozhi ran forward full of energy, and Lucario followed closely behind him. These two were so cool, forming a sharp contrast with the timid appearance of the others.
"Eh? What is that?"
The group was walking on the road, enjoying the surrounding scenery as they went along. Suddenly, Liliae pulled Gongsun Yan's sleeve, pointed at a crystal flower blooming on a cliff, and spoke curiously.
"That should be the flower of time, right?"
Gongsun Yan looked at the flower bud that was completely crystallized and said uncertainly. After all, he had never seen the real flower of time.
"Road! (Yes, that is the flower of time.)"
Lucario, who was following Xiaozhi, agreed with what Gongsun Yan said. He looked at the flower of time and fell into memories. It seemed like the last time he saw the flower of time was just yesterday.
Well, for Lucario, it really seemed like it was yesterday, or at most the day before yesterday, so the so-called memories were actually the daily life with Alan.
