The Haxorus on the side suddenly felt a malicious attack, and gave up the iron tail that was originally prepared to be used. Instead, it condensed a dragon energy in its mouth, and a light green beam of light gushed out towards the open space.
"Well, Dragon Breath is a special attack move. It seems I don't need to talk to Haxorus." Gongsun Yan thought to himself. Haxorus also felt that the malice was moving away from him and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, he has mastered three moves in succession. Although two of them are moves from this series, it also reflects the talent of Hakron." Xiaogang on the side also nodded and sighed at Hakron's strength again.
"Yeah, Haxorus is much stronger than before!" Xiaozhi was also amazed at Haxorus's strength.
Just as Gongsun Yan, Xiaogang, Xiaozhi and others were having a heated discussion about the strength of Haxorus, Xiaoyao, who was attracted by Haxorus's "graceful appearance", couldn't help but speak.
"Hey, hey, these don't seem to be important, Brother Yan, have you ever thought about becoming a coordination trainer?"
Xiaoyao saw that Gongsun Yan and the others only cared about Haklon's strength and didn't care about his outstanding appearance at all. She couldn't suppress the resentment in her heart and cursed these straight men who didn't know how to appreciate him.
"Well, I still prefer being a trainer. Forget about the Grand Contest or anything like that."
Gongsun Yan was confused by Xiaoyao's words. When he imagined himself showing off at the gorgeous competition venue, he began to shiver and felt unwell.
"Eh? Why? Brother Yan, aren't you very handsome? With such a beautiful Haxorus, it will be no problem for you to enter the Grand Festival!"
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Xiaoyao felt a little unbelievable. She felt that Gongsun Yan was not an introverted person and should not be afraid to express himself on the court.
If Gongsun Yan knew what Xiaoyao was thinking, he would probably answer with a wry smile, "There is no direct correlation between being introverted or not and being willing to show yourself in front of the public!"
But he obviously didn't know, so he just said, "I really don't have any talent for those gorgeous performances. If I participate in a gorgeous competition, it's okay if I don't pass the first review. If I make it to the second review, I may be able to solve the rest of the battle with one move, which means I'm just ruining the show."
Xiaoyao thought about it for a moment. After Gongsun Yan came on the field and released the Pokémon, it was a single strike without any aesthetic appeal. The opponent's Pokémon lost its ability to fight. The entire battle took less than ten seconds, including the time when the referee announced the start of the game. Suddenly, Xiaoyao felt that Gongsun Yan was indeed not suitable for the gorgeous competition.
"Xiaoyao, although this sentence is not pleasant to hear, I still have to say that you should improve the strength of your Pokémon. There is no point in being gorgeous without strength."
Gongsun Yan thought about this sentence for a long time and finally decided to say it. The current Xiaoyao is not as capable as the later Hoenn Dancer, and she is too focused on the gorgeousness of her moves, so her power is almost weak.
In Gongsun Yan's opinion, a coordinator trainer is also a trainer. How can one become a qualified trainer without sufficient strength? Just like Ayako from Shuangye Town, she once won the Grand Festival, but her Cattail was completely vulnerable to the Desert Dragonfly passing by.
Therefore, Gongsun Yan still hopes that Xiaoyao can pay more attention to his Pokémon strength, otherwise he will definitely stop in the quarterfinals in the grand celebration.
Xiaoyao was not angry when she heard Gongsun Yan's suggestion. After all, Gongsun Yan was doing it for her own good. Xiaoyao's personality was not that of a tsundere and she would still carefully consider any reasonable suggestions.
After seeing Xiaoyao fall into deep thought, Gongsun Yan didn't say much. He called Xiaozhi and Xiaogang to go to the front desk to find Miss Joy. Xiaozhi's Cinderella still needed treatment. Although Haxorus had evolved, the previous injuries had not been fully healed, so it still needed to receive Miss Joy's loving treatment.
As the three of them were walking on the road, they saw Xiaoyao's figure disappear around the corner, and Xiaogang spoke to Gongsun Yan.
"Xiao Yan, the reason why you didn't participate in the gorgeous competition should not be just the reason you said, right?"
"Xiaogang, I knew I couldn't hide it from you, but isn't it better not to say some things?" This was Gongsun Yan's answer.
"Ah? What are you talking about?" It goes without saying that this was said by Xiaozhi.
"Haha, sometimes you have to say good things when you do them, otherwise others won't know what you did. But Xiaozhi, did you really not see it?" Xiaogang said the first sentence to Gongsun Yan with squinted eyes, and then he turned to look at Xiaozhi with a puzzled look on his face.
"Hehe, Xiaogang, stop talking. Looking at Xiaozhi's expression, it seems that he hasn't thought about so much." Seeing Xiaozhi's confused look, Gongsun Yan reluctantly asked Xiaogang to stop talking.
"As for why I didn't participate in the glamour contest, there are indeed other reasons."
Chapter 112 What is Yasasi?
"Xiaogang, let me ask you a question. What do you think of my current strength? Even in the gorgeous battles that I am not good at, how does it compare with Xiaoyao?" Gongsun Yan said to Xiaogang very seriously.
"Is there even a need to ask? Of course it's you. With your powerful strength and simple and direct fighting style, no one can defeat you even in gorgeous battles that you are not good at." Xiao Gang thought for a moment and answered with certainty.
"Is there any problem with that? Wouldn't it be better if Xiaoyan is stronger?" This was said by Xiaozhi who didn't see anything.
"Isn't this the key?" Gongsun Yan looked at Xiaozhi with a helpless expression. Xiaogang also looked at Xiaozhi with a look...oh, he couldn't see it and ignored it.
"So think about it, Xiaoyao's current gorgeous fighting ability is definitely not as good as mine. If we meet in the gorgeous competition, should I let her win?" Gongsun Yan replied helplessly.
"Of course not. No matter what kind of competition it is, we should give our all. Even though we are traveling companions, a battle in which we deliberately let the other party win is absolutely meaningless." Xiao Gang said as a matter of course.
"Isn't that right? Xiaogang, you and I think the same thing." Gongsun Yan nodded and continued to explain: "If I wasn't traveling with you, then I could naturally choose to participate in a few gorgeous competitions, just as a pastime. But we are traveling together. If I have to defeat Xiaoyao to get the ribbon every time I encounter a gorgeous competition, it's okay once or twice, but if it happens too many times, it will definitely greatly undermine Xiaoyao's confidence."
Seeing the two of them looking thoughtful, Gongsun Yan continued, "Even if I get five ribbons as quickly as possible, how can I guarantee that Xiaoyao can collect all five ribbons in the next gorgeous competition? If this causes Xiaoyao to be unable to participate in the final gorgeous celebration, then I will become a sinner!"
"So, I'd better give up the opportunity of the Grand Contest. I'm not really interested in it anyway. It's fine to just be a trainer." Gongsun Yan ended the topic with an indifferent look on his face.
"Wow, Xiaoyan, you really are a Yasasi!" Xiaozhi didn't understand what it meant until the end, and patted Gongsun Yan's shoulder happily.
Feeling the pain in his shoulder, Gongsun Yan had only one thought in his mind.
"Are all new recruits' physiques so outstanding? I can't even handle these two blows!"
Afterwards, Gongsun Yan and the others handed Haxorus and Cinderella to Miss Joy and went back to their rooms to rest. Since there were five people in the team at that time, and the rooms in the Pokémon Center are usually four-person rooms, Xiaoyao, the only girl, got a room alone, which can be considered a difference between men and women.
As for the conversation between the three of them on the way, they didn't let Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng know about it. After all, people are rarely confused in this life, so it's better not to talk about it. Just treat it as a little secret between boys. (Xiaosheng:?)
Nothing happened that night. Gongsun Yan didn't feel any pressure to level up, so he simply lay down in the grass in the game and fell asleep, achieving the achievement of sleeping in a dream.
But I didn’t sleep very well. After all, when I was lying in the grass, I was always inexplicably pulled into a battle.
In short, when Gongsun Yan woke up, he didn't feel like he had slept twice as long, but he didn't feel tired at all, and he went for morning exercises very consciously.
When I arrived at the front desk of the Pokémon Center, I greeted Miss Joy as usual, and took back the Haxorus that had rested for the night from Miss Joy, preparing to take it out for morning exercises together.
Gongsun Yan took Haxorus's Poké Ball and ran around the side for a few laps before returning to the battle field outside the Pokémon Center and releasing Haxorus.
The reason why Haxorus was not allowed to run was mainly because the evolved Haxorus could fly, and flying did not consume much of his physical strength. He deliberately let Haxorus fall to the ground and crawl. Gongsun Yan said that he was not that cruel.
"Woo~" The released Hackron was about to pounce on Gongsun Yan when he saw him, but was forced back by Gongsun Yan's eyes. He floated beside Gongsun Yan with an unhappy look on his face, wrapping Gongsun Yan in the middle with his body.
"Okay, now that you've evolved, stop acting like a spoiled child and learn to be more mature." Gongsun Yan comforted Hakron who was acting on the side with a helpless look on his face. Although he knew that Hakron was acting, if Gongsun Yan didn't coax him, Hakron would definitely be really sad.
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Haklong put away his pretentious expression and wrapped himself around Gongsun Yan with a happy face. If Haklong's color and image were not so cute, Gongsun Yan could have gone to Young and Dangerous and acted as a small leader.
"Okay, stop playing. Now that you've evolved, you should prepare yourself well. There will be many battles waiting for you later. Practice your skills by praying for rain fifty times this morning." Gongsun Yan said with a gentle face, saying something that made Hakron feel desperate.
Hearing this, Haxorus fell off Gongsun Yan's body and collapsed on the ground, pretending to be dead. Gongsun Yan didn't even look at Haxorus, but stepped over it and went to arrange the training plan for other Pokémon this morning. Although he was very gentle to his Pokémon, he would never let them off during the daily training.
He was well aware that sweating more in peacetime would reduce bleeding in battle. Even Zoroark, who was more dramatic than Dratini, could not soften his heart, not to mention the current Dragonite. Moreover, Zoroark was a girl, and she could complete the training tasks every day with guaranteed quality. Dragonite was still a boy after all, so Gongsun Yan was even less likely to be soft-hearted.
Haklon lay on the ground pretending to be dead for a while, then quietly got up and continued training. He knew that Gongsun Yan would not be soft-hearted. No matter how long he lay on the ground, the training task had to be completed, so he was just acting.
However, praying for rain fifty times is really a big challenge for Haxorus. Although he has the assistance of the gem and using praying for rain can be said to be twice the result with half the effort, praying for rain fifty times is really his limit.
When Gongsun Yan came back, Haxlong had collapsed on the ground due to exhaustion. This time he really couldn't float. The fifty times of praying for rain Gongsun Yan mentioned was not random talk. He had calculated Haxlong's limit.
"Well done, Haxoron!"
Chapter 113 Speed of Life and Death
"Well done, Haxoron!"
"Woo~"
After hearing Gongsun Yan's praise, Haklong raised his head happily, as if he wanted to wrap around Gongsun Yan, but he was too tired, so he could only raise his head and called out to Gongsun Yan twice.
"Okay, quickly eat these energy cubes and then have a good rest."
Gongsun Yan took out Haxorus's food bowl and poured the energy cubes in his backpack into it. These energy cubes were specially prepared for Haxorus when it was still a Dratini. The dragon energy contained in them was relatively mild and could also promote the Dratini's shedding, which was very suitable for the Dratini.
Now that Dratini has evolved into Haxorus, these energy blocks are not so suitable for Haxorus. Now Haxorus can absorb some more intense dragon energy, so Gongsun Yan fed all the remaining initial energy blocks to Haxorus.
After Haxorus had eaten all the energy cubes, Gongsun Yan took him back into the Poké Ball, returned to the Pokémon Center, and gave all the Pokémon that had finished their morning exercises to Miss Joy to restore their strength.
Then Gongsun Yan looked at the time and found that it was not yet half past eight. Gongsun Yan was not in a hurry to wake up Xiaozhi and the others. He went to the bathroom to take a shower first, and then borrowed the energy cube machine on the second floor of the Pokémon Center to replenish his energy cube reserves. By the way, he made some energy cubes with corresponding attributes based on the Pokémon of Xiaozhi, Xiaogang, and Xiaoyao.
It’s not that Gongsun Yan doesn’t want to tailor-make energy cubes for their Pokémon, it’s mainly because he doesn’t know what flavors their Pokémon like. Besides, Xiaoyao can make energy cubes by herself, and Xiaozhi and the others will not accept Gongsun Yan to cover all the expenses for their Pokémon.
However, Gongsun Yan still prepared some universal energy blocks for their Pokémon, which Xiaozhi and the others would not refuse. Of course, Gongsun Yan did not make many of each type of energy block, and he would always have two days' supply on him. After all, the energy blocks had to be kept fresh, so he would not make too many at a time.
However, Gongsun Yan felt that he would need to make a large number of energy blocks in the future, otherwise it would be difficult for him to survive Xiaozhi's usual wandering. After all, he could not stay in the Pokémon Center every day.
After Gongsun Yan completed this series of operations, Xiaozhi and the others woke up. Gongsun Yan finished breakfast with them. Gongsun Yan ran to the front desk to get his Poké Ball back, and everyone continued to move towards Professor Odawara's research institute.
While walking on the road, Xiaozhi happily took out his badge box to look at it, and at one point planned to go directly to the location of the next gym, but was suppressed by Xiaoyao with force.
Just when Gongsun Yan and others were reminiscing about Professor Odamaki on the side of the road, a loud noise came from the rock wall on the side of the road. Xiaozhi and the others looked over curiously, and Gongsun Yan secretly cried out "Not good", hugged everyone and rushed to the side of the road.
"boom!"
Just after Gongsun Yan pulled everyone to hide on the side of the road, an off-road vehicle rushed down directly from the rock wall on the side of the road. A sudden brake stirred up a large amount of smoke, almost completely covering the entire road.
"Cough cough!"
Although Gongsun Yan had anticipated this, he did not expect the smoke to be so thick. Everyone present inhaled the dust and started coughing.
"Hey, long time no see!"
The smoke gradually dissipated, and a familiar man appeared in front of everyone. His eye-catching beard and superb driving skills revealed his identity.
"Dr. Odamaki! X4!" The four people except Gongsun Yan shouted in unison, but Gongsun Yan did not show any surprise. Instead, he raised his dead fish eyes and replied unhappily.
"Dr. Odamaki, if you keep driving like this, I'm going to report you for dangerous driving."
"Haha, Xiaoyan, you still like to joke so much. Why are you all here?" After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Dr. Odajon smiled awkwardly, immediately changed the subject, and asked why everyone was here.
Hearing Dr. Odamaki change the subject, Gongsun Yan just said "huh" and didn't say anything more. Originally, he just said it casually and didn't mean to make a fuss.
However, Xiaoyao answered Dr. Odamaki enthusiastically, "We plan to go back to the doctor's institute to take a look before we leave."
"Oh, so that's how it is!" Dr. Odamaki ignored Gongsun Yan on the side and echoed Xiaoyao.
"Dr. Odamaki, where are you going?" This powerful voice was obviously Xiaozhi's.
"Oh, I was going to the port to pick up Professor Oak, but I was so engrossed in my research that I completely forgot the agreed time, so I had to take a shortcut. Hahaha!"
Seeing Dr. Odamaki who showed no embarrassment at all, everyone felt upset. With such a carefree doctor, it seemed that the Hoenn region was doomed!
However, Professor Oak! Gongsun Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing this name. This big guy has a lot of connections with him.
"Since this is our first meeting, I have to pick him up quickly," said Dr. Odamaki.
After hearing what Dr. Odamaki said, Gongsun Yan's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly raised his hand and shouted.
"Then I'm going too."
As he said that, he directly jumped onto the car. Seeing this, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang also said that they wanted to go together, and they jumped onto the car together.
As for Xiaoyao, Xiaozhi asked them to go to Dr. Odumaki's research institute and wait. Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng readily agreed. Then Dr. Odumaki started the car and continued to drive towards the port.
At first, Gongsun Yan and the other two were very excited when they got in the car, but five minutes later they all began to regret that they should not have gotten into Dr. Odamaki's car.
On the way, Dr. Odamaki suddenly saw a helmeted bird parked on a mountain peak on the side. In excitement, he stuck his head out of the car, waved and cheered at the helmeted bird, without noticing the car pulled by the fire-breathing camel in front of him.
"Dr. Odamaki, be careful!!!" the three people howled immediately.
After hearing the "reminder" from the three people, Dr. Odamaki drifted past the fire-breathing camel cart in front of him, and the people in the back row immediately fell down.
"That was a close call!" Xiaozhi couldn't help but sigh, and Gongsun Yan was so scared that he couldn't speak. Originally, Gongsun Yan was not so timid, but the problem was that he was the first to get in the car, and he sat between Xiaozhi and Xiaogang, and Dr. Odamaki's off-road vehicle only had four seat belts, which meant that Gongsun Yan...
No!
Have!
install!
all!
belt!
Chapter 114: Dr. Odamaki, Obsessed with Research
When they made a sharp turn just now, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang were still protected by their seat belts, but Gongsun Yan flew out directly. If he hadn't tried his best to hold on to the car door, he would have already fallen down the mountain by now...
In short, Gongsun Yan, who was flying out of the car, finally waited until the car was righted again, climbed back into the car in a hurry, and collapsed on the seat, gasping for breath.
"Oh, sorry, sorry." Dr. Odamaki quickly turned around and apologized to the three people.
"I say! Dr. Odamaki! Just...ah! Look ahead! Steer the wheel!" Gongsun Yan was originally angrily preparing to find Dr. Odamaki to ask for an explanation, but when Gongsun Yan looked up, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly asked Dr. Odamaki to steer the wheel.
"Ah! I get it!" Dr. Odamaki quickly turned around and turned the steering wheel.
“Hiss! Hiss~~~”
"what!!!"
Well, in short, on the way to the port, Gongsun Yan and the other two left a lot of "laughter and joy" along the way. Even Gongsun Yan, who knew that Professor Oak had already gone to the Odamaki Research Institute in the car pulled by the fire-breathing camel, forgot this for a moment, and kept flashing in and out of the car, greatly exercising his arm strength and reaction ability.
By the time the four arrived at the port alive, Gongsun Yan had turned gray and was unconscious on a bench at the port.
The other three searched the port and found no sign of Professor Oak. They stood beside Gongsun Yan and talked to him, worried that something might have happened.
At this moment, Gongsun Yan raised his right hand tremblingly and said weakly.
"How about we ask the research institute? Maybe Professor Oak has already arrived at the institute."
