Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 473 Xia Lan: Fang Yan, We Need You Here

Fang Yan led Denji and Daiya to the battlefield. Fang Yan looked at Denji, who resembled the Fourth Hokage, and asked, "So, would you like to choose a 3vs3 or 6vs6 battle?"

After thinking for a moment, Denji said, "Let's do 3 vs 3."

Fang Yan nodded, "No problem."

After speaking in dialect, he looked at the Röntgen cat that came out of the breeding house and said, "I'm counting on you from now on."

The Röntgen cat nodded gently.

"The rule is that I only use one Pokémon, and you just need to defeat Xeno'jiiva."

The dialect section briefly explained the rules.

Denji frowned. After all, he was the strongest gym leader in the Sinnoh League. Even Cynthia couldn't guarantee a shutout against him. Was Fang Yan really that confident?

"OK."

Dianci agreed.

Since Gengar was not present, the referee was played by Leaf.

The first Pokémon Denji sent out was also Luxray.

Looking at the Xenomorph in front of Fang Yan, Da Ye couldn't help but think: Is Shopkeeper Fang Yan using an Electric-type Pokémon to deal with the Electric-type Gym Leader? As expected of Shopkeeper Fang Yan, he's so confident.

The battle between Denji, the Speed-focused Gym Leader of the Coastal City, and Fangyan, the owner of the Futaba Town Breeding House, has officially begun.

"Mad Volt!"

"Mad Volt!"

Two Xenogear cats, their bodies crackling with lightning, rammed into each other.

Because the Röntgen cats in the breeding center were blessed by the Thunder God, they are much more powerful in terms of lightning damage than the Röntgen cats in Denji.

(The following uses "Little X-Rayet Cat" to represent "X-Rayet Cat" in the title.)

The Röntgen cat stood in the center of the arena and roared angrily at the little Röntgen cat that was backing away.

"Röntgen, Spirit Fang, follow me."

The Röntgen Cat transformed into lightning, catching up with the retreating Röntgen Cat. It opened its mouth, and its massive teeth, formed from concentrated spiritual power, bit down hard on the little Röntgen Cat.

"Lightning Strike!"

The little Röntgen cat, feeling the pain, steadied itself and then summoned the lightning within its body, channeling its full power of electricity towards the Röntgen cat beside it.

The Röntgen cat was knocked back a distance by the little Röntgen cat.

The Röntgen Cat shook off the residual lightning from the little Röntgen Cat and licked its lips with its pink tongue.

Sure, that's powerful.

The Röntgen cat's body began to tremble slightly.

My family members, who understands? Finally, the day has come when it's my turn to take the stage. Finally, the day will come when I can beat the other side, instead of being the one getting beaten up.

At first, the Röntgen cat would train with Dali and the others in the backyard, but later it went straight to Fangyan's side and lay down to sleep.

It's definitely not because it's lazy, but because it can get rid of the extra training from Dali and the others when it's near Fangyan.

The training with Dali, Erli, and Sanli was alright; it wouldn't be that harsh on it. The main problem was those big milk tanks and the riding goat, which dragged it around in "bullfighting" all day long, crashing into it all day. Their bodies were like they were made of stone; they weren't afraid of pain at all. On the other hand, it felt like its body was about to be smashed apart every day.

Today it finally had the chance to enjoy a real battle, instead of just a purely physical one.

Denji frowned slightly as he looked at the Roentgen Cat, who hadn't suffered much damage.

What a powerful X-ray cat!

His own Xenomorph cat was actually defeated by the dialect Xenomorph cat in a contest of strength.

Fang Yan, meanwhile, stared at the electric cat, Röntgen, lost in thought.

I think Lightning Strike is a move that appeared in Generation IX, specifically the Era of Crimson and Purple.

I never expected that Xerox Pyrocopter would learn this?

A 100-power electric-type physical attack move, even stronger than the 90-power Raging Volt, seems perfect for Xeno'jiiva.

I just don't know if my Xenophon cat in the breeding center can learn it.

Unbeknownst to them, the local dialect had long since come to refer to the Pokémon residing in the nursery as the "Nursery Pokémon."

"I need to find a chance to secretly learn this skill first."

Fang Yan thought to himself, then pointed.

"Röntgen Cat, Mad Volt."

The X-Rayet Cat, covered in terrifying lightning, charged straight at the little X-Rayet Cat.

"Röntgen Cat, Volt Replacement!"

Little Lynx cast a bolt of lightning, then quickly returned to its Poké Ball.

A flash of red light appeared, and Raichu appeared on the field, only to be hit head-on by Luxray's fully powered Raging Volt.

"mound!"

Raichu was sent flying and crashed heavily onto the field in front of Denji, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Denji stared at Raichu, who was charred black and unconscious, and was momentarily stunned.

Da Ye, who was acting as the referee, also froze in shock.

Raichu, an Electric-type Pokémon, lost consciousness after being hit by a Raging Volt.

He looked at the Röntgen cat in front of Fang Yan and swallowed hard.

My goodness, how did the shopkeeper with the dialect manage to train all the Electric-type Pokémon so well?

Denji recalled Raichu, looked at Fang Yan, and said, "Now I finally understand why you defeated Champion Cynthia."

Fang Yan grinned calmly and then said, "Strictly speaking, Xenopus cats aren't exactly the main breeds at our breeding center."

Telephone number:————

I know which Pokémon you mainly use—but you don't have to say it so openly and embarrass me, do you?!

Denji threw a Poké Ball, a red flash appeared, and Jolteon appeared on the field.

"Rayle, Loud!"

Fang Yan grinned, "I guessed it just as I suspected."

"Abyss Thrust!"

Despite enduring the pain of the deafening attack, Luxray unleashed Abyss Thrust at Jolteon.

Jolteon was hit by Abyssal Thrust and opened its mouth to make a painful sound, but it could not hear the sound it was making.

Seeing this, Dai-ye couldn't help but worry about Den-ji.

The effect of Abyssal Thrust is that Pokémon hit by this move cannot use sound-based moves for two turns. Jolteon's Hyper Voice and Charm are unusable, and Electric-type moves will be resisted by Luxray.

What would you do next?

Denji decisively recalled Jolteon and sent out Xeno'jiiva again.

Little Xeno'jiiva appeared, intimidated Xeno'jiiva, and was then bitten hard on the neck by Xeno'jiiva's Spirit Fang.

"Lun!"

The little Röntgen cat widened its eyes and then lay down.

They lost their will to fight.

The shop manager in the dialect just now—did he read that the electricity schedule would be rotated?

Seeing the Rhynchochet defeat the little Rhynchochet with a single Spirit Fang, Fang Yan couldn't help but put his hands on his hips in his mind.

So what if you threatened me twice? Do you even know how tough it is to keep a Roentgen cat in a breeding center?!

After recalling Xeno'jiiva, Denji sent out Jolteon again.

Only one turn had passed since it was returned to its Poké Ball.

So when it appeared, it opened its mouth as if to speak, but the next second, the pain from the abyss instantly filled its throat.

Reibu: ? ? ?

What? Two rounds haven't even passed yet?

Electric-type versus electric-type, can't even last two turns? It can't just get one-shotted, can it?!

Ray was full of resentment, just like a king who was dragged out of his rest time to work overtime.

"Raebu, thunder!"

Rayquaza crouched down, its electric energy surging wildly.

Dark clouds loomed overhead.

Thunder and lightning struck, but the projectiles veered off course.

Denji: "Damn it!"

Da Ye: "What a pity—"

Fang Yan looked up and then said, "Using the power of thunder, unleash Crazy Volt!"

Seeing the lightning strike that had gone astray, the Röntgen cat deliberately attracted it, causing it to strike itself. Gritting its teeth, it charged towards Jolteon, enveloped in the lightning and its own internal energy.

"Lun!"

The Röntgen cat let out a roar.

Reibu looked in horror at the Röntgen cat charging toward him.

"Get out of the way!"

With a "whoosh," Rayburk moved away from Xanthius.

Seeing Jolteon using its speed advantage to pull itself away, Luxray, under Fang's command, slammed the remaining energy from Jolteon's Thunder Strike onto the ground. The powerful lightning blasted huge rocks into the ground, which flew in all directions.

"This is----"

When Da Ye saw the X-Rayet standing in the center of the rock, he recognized it as the move Shinji used at the Lily of the Valley Conference, which was designed to lock down the fast Pokémon and restrict their movement.

"The Fang of the Spirit!"

"Catch the stone and increase the distance."

Rayquaza nimbly leaped across the rocks, and just as it was about to breathe a sigh of relief, it saw a Xeno'jiiva dart out from behind the last rock.

"Bui————"

Ray's vision went black, and he lost consciousness.

Looking at the battered and bruised Xenopus, Fang Yan couldn't help but whisper, "So it really is an unworkable move?"

Fang Yan had asked Xeno'jiiva to take the hit of the missed Thunderbolt in an attempt to replicate Ash's Thunderbolt with Swellow enchanted, but it didn't work.

"How did Ash manage to do it back then? And Swellow is a Flying-type Pokémon—"

Fang Yan shook his head, then asked Miss Qun'er to heal the Pokémon.

"Congratulations, you have passed the test."

Fang Yan reached out and shook hands with Dian Ci, congratulating him on successfully passing the dojo's assessment.

"But I'm telling you, shouldn't you take the gym challenge seriously?"

Fang Yan looked at the electric scooter and spoke.

Denji now places the badges at the gym entrance, and anyone who wants one can take it.

"Dealing with those gym challengers won't make me stronger."

Dianci said it nonchalantly.

"Putting responsibility aside, Denji, don't you feel your desire to win has diminished considerably?"

Denji looked at Fang Yan with a puzzled expression, and Fang Yan paused for a moment before continuing, "Your attitude towards battles has changed—"

"Now, I no longer see the same desire for victory in your eyes as I did in Da Ye —"

Those who cannot treat every battle properly and those who look down on other trainers will only fall further and further behind others.

"Denji, have you noticed that the gap between you and Daiye is actually widening?"

After speaking in dialect, he stopped and said, "Think about it carefully."

He then looked at Da Ye and said, "You, right now, immediately, go back to the Alliance. If you disappear again without a trace, next time you want to eat something delicious, go find another shop yourself and don't come to the Breeding House."

Originally intending to comfort Denji, Daiye burst into a wail upon hearing Fangyan's words.

"No way—shop manager in dialect—how are we going to get through our miserable workdays without the snacks you send us?"

'

"You still know you need to go to work? Look at Wusong, he's practically dying from overwork and you're not even going back to help him."

Fang Yan spoke up in defense of Wu Song.

Of course, the most important thing is that he wants to manage the Sinnoh League well for his girlfriend and not let Cynthia be so tired every day.

Wu Song: That's not actually the case.

Of course, it's definitely not because Fang Yan resented Da Ye for being more relaxed than herself, which is why she wanted him to go back to work.

It's definitely not for that reason; dialects are still very tolerant.

"Wusong said you guys work hard, and since we're good friends, I haven't charged you a single penny for the snacks and other food I sent you, except for the shipping cost. How dare you run around like this?"

Da Ye scratched his afro sheepishly. "I was just training myself—"

"How about I spar with you? Like, a fight to the death?"

As soon as Fang Yan finished speaking, an unusually tall and powerful creature appeared behind him. It stood quietly behind Fang Yan, staring at Da Ye.

That expression seemed to say: How about it? Want to have a fight?

Da Ye swallowed hard, grinned, and said, "Don't worry, I'll go back to the Alliance today, work hard, and improve every day."

.

Fang Yan nodded in satisfaction. "Since you're so sincere, you can go back to the Alliance after dinner. You can also go into the kitchen and pick out some of your favorite food to take with you, as much as you can."

Da Ye: !!!

Wuhu – This wave is taking off!

Lost in his joy, he had forgotten what he had just intended to do.

"But one thing, don't waste food, or you know the consequences."

Fang Yan squinted and said something.

Da Ye shook his head frantically, "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

Fang Yan gave a cold laugh.

If he hadn't seen Da Ye being attacked by the Pokémon in the nursery for wasting food, he might have believed that statement.

"Let's go back to the nursery for lunch."

"Da Ye—I've made up my mind."

"What hiccup—"

Da Ye hiccuped, turned to look at his friend, and asked curiously.

-

"I'm going back to run my gym properly and rediscover my desire for victory in battles."

Dianci spoke up.

Looking at Denji with his yellow hair, Daiya's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to her childhood, when Denji had said the same thing to her.

He said, "Big Leaf, you wait, I will definitely become an Elite Four member, the strongest trainer in the Sinnoh region!"

But now that he has become a king, he is still stuck as a gym leader.

Everyone says he has the strength of a Champion in the Sinnoh region, and Dai-ye knows he truly does.

However, he couldn't perform to his potential.

Heavenly King—

However, each region only has four Heavenly Kings.

Which of those who become Heavenly Kings will be an ordinary person?

"I'm waiting for you, Denji, waiting for you to defeat me."

After Da Ye finished speaking, he burped again.

"Next time, could you please finish burping before you speak? It really ruins the atmosphere, you know?"

"What can I do? Burp~ But I'm so full~~ Ah."

Telephone number:————

"Fine, I'll let you be arrogant for a while. I'll step on your head and defeat Champion Cynthia and the Dialect Shopkeeper."

"I hope so. Right now, I just hope you don't get beaten up and cry~ Hiccup————"

"Are you ever going to stop?"

"I don't want to burp either~"

"Joebue, use Thunder!"

"You bastard, I was just trying to comfort you, and you repay kindness with enmity! *hiccup* Flareon, Flamethrower! *hiccup*"

"Burp~"

Inside the breeding room, Fang Yan had just lain down when he received a call from Xia Lan.

"Hey, Xia Lan, what's wrong?"

Fang Yan took a sip of his chilled fruit soda through the straw, then let out a burp.

"You're slacking off again."

Xia Lan rolled her eyes at Fang Yan, who was lying on the old chair, drinking soda and looking like a salted fish.

"That's pure slander. I just finished my dojo exam."

Fang Yan took a big gulp of soda, feeling the icy sensation in his mouth, and then said, "I'm exhausted."

"Don't tire yourself out, I need your help here."

Before Fang Yan could finish speaking, Xia Lan interrupted him, her expression somewhat grave.

Seeing Xia Lan's serious expression, Fang Yan sat up straight. "What's wrong?"

"I'm currently at the Stellar Academy in the Unova region. It's about Pokémon. Do you have time to come over?"

"Many Pokémon in the academy have become very strange. Some have lost their vitality, while others have become extremely irritable. The academy is currently looking for the problem, but since you know so much about Pokémon, I thought I'd ask if you know why this is happening, and if you have time to come over."

Upon hearing Xia Lan's words, Fang Yan first had Xia Lan point the screen at a few Pokémon, and then gave a brief analysis.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. It's probably due to some external factors nearby, like the weather. Don't worry. Do you remember the steps for cooking Chinese medicine that you learned at the animal shelter? Do as I say, find all the Chinese medicines I told you about, and then brew them to calm them down. I'll be right there now."

Xia Lan nodded. "Okay, but is it that serious? Do you really need to come over in person?"

"I'm just trying to put your mind at ease."

Fang Yan said with a smile, "Wait for me, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Miss Skirt looked at Fang Yan.

"Laji".

If you want to skip work, just say so. Why make up so many excuses?

"So, do you want to go?"

"Laji".

I'll call Miss Goethe right now and have her come back, then I'll pack my clothes.

After Miss Skirt finished speaking, she ran to the counter to make a phone call. After finishing the call, she ran upstairs to pack Fang Yan's clothes.

Time to go on a trip again!

The breeding house is wonderful, but you should still go out and see different scenery when you have time.
