Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 552: They've been uprooted, so they definitely don't count as taking root anymore!

Fang Yan cuddled the fragrant and delicious-smelling food and slept soundly.

Looking at Fang Yan, who was still fast asleep, Cynthia had originally planned to sleep alone, but when she heard someone say that he needed to conserve his energy for the upcoming battle, she softened and let Fang Yan sneak into her room.

Unable to bear Fang Yan's restless hand any longer, Cynthia slapped Fang Yan's hand away.

Fang Yan, who had just been slapped, opened her eyes in a daze.

"What's wrong?"

He asked, his understanding of the dialect unclear.

"You should get up. Don't you have a date with Mr. Daigo today?"

Cynthia looked at Fang Yan, who had opened his eyes beside her, and said.

Fang Yan scratched his head, lay down, and prepared to continue sleeping.

Seeing this, Cynthia shook her head helplessly, then got up from the bed.

"Where are you going? Aren't you going back to sleep?" A muffled voice in a dialect rang out.

Cynthia turned around and found Fang Yan burying his face in the pillow.

"I'm hungry," Cynthia said.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yan got out of bed, yawning, and said, "Let's go downstairs for breakfast. Wait for me a moment while I wash up."

After speaking in dialect, he went into the bathroom and looked at the sink, which was empty.

Strange, why didn't Miss Gothic squeeze toothpaste for me today?

Fang Yan squeezed out some toothpaste and started brushing his teeth, looking puzzled.

After washing up, Fang Yan followed Cynthia out of the room. Only then did Fang Yan remember that he had slept in Cynthia's room the day before. Pokémon usually avoid each other and will not enter Cynthia's room unless necessary.

No wonder Miss Goth didn't squeeze the toothpaste onto her toothbrush beforehand.

I almost thought Goethe's mother had found a new love.

I was even thinking of having Dali teach Goth's mother's new lover a lesson, but it turns out I was just scaring myself.

Good morning, everyone.

Cynthia greeted everyone who was having breakfast.

"Good morning, Cynthia," Shana said with her mouth full of bread.

Good morning, Champion Cynthia.

Cynthia nodded, walked to her seat and sat down, and Meowth brought her her food.

After greeting Fang Yan who was following behind, he also sat down and began to enjoy the breakfast that Miss Goth had prepared for him.

"I knew that Gothic's mother still loved me the most."

Fang Yan said this as he took the breakfast from Miss Gothic.

Miss Goth looked at Fang Yan with a look of disgust.

Has he had another episode?

What nonsense are you spouting again?

Feeling discouraged?

With countless thoughts in mind, Miss Gothic drifted into the kitchen.

After breakfast, Fang Yan lay in the rest area and continued his great work of slacking off.

"Did you retrieve the matter that required the champion's attention yesterday?"

Cynthia sat down next to him and asked a question.

dialect:!!!

"Oh no! I forgot while sleeping!"

Fang Yan jumped up from the old chair, opened the portal to the reversed world, and quickly slipped inside.

"Miss Goth, come help me."

Miss Gothic heard Fang Yan's shouts and quickly floated out of the kitchen, following Fang Yan into the reverse passage.

Cynthia sighed as she watched the person and Pokémon disappear.

It's just like a spoiled child.

Fang Yan walked out of the reverse passage, looked at Wan Long with extremely dark circles under her eyes, and with her murderous gaze, Fang Yan told Miss Goth to pack up all the business and take it with her.

"I'll handle the rest. You should go back and rest. Don't die suddenly, or the Unova region will have to find another Elite Four member. Let me tell you, I can't be the acting Elite Four member anymore."

"Can't you wish me well for once? You're a champion, for goodness' sake. How can you curse your subordinates like that?"

"But I'm the acting champion."

The dialect is spoken with confidence and conviction.

"You're right, whatever, I'll leave all this to you. I'm going back to sleep. I finally understand how hard Wusong works." After saying that, Wanlong stood up and quickly ran out of the office, afraid that if she was too slow, Fang Yan would keep her there to continue working.

She now felt that Wusong was simply not human; how could anyone handle a series of tasks in an orderly manner while also occasionally going on business trips?

None of them are human.

Fang Yan watched Wan Long flee in disarray, then glanced back at Miss Gothic, shrugged, and said, "Miss Gothic, it's up to you now."

Miss Goth: ————

I knew it!

Ignoring Miss Goth's eye roll, Fang Yan opened the reverse passage and led Miss Goth inside.

Back in the breeding shed, Fang Yan plopped down in the old-fashioned chair and sighed.

"So tired————"

Looking at his listless expression, and then glancing at Miss Goth, who was organizing and categorizing Alliance affairs, Cynthia suggested, "Miss Goth, I suggest you don't spoil him like this."

"If Miss Gothic doesn't spoil me, who else will she spoil? Right, Miss Gothic?" Fang Yan grinned at Miss Gothic.

Miss Goth turned away, too lazy to pay attention to Fang Yan.

At this moment, Daigo and Michael walked over, looked at Fang Yan lying on the armchair, and said, "Manager Fang Yan, is now a convenient time?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yan immediately stood up from the armchair, looked at the elegant man in front of her, and nodded.

"Of course, how did you rest yesterday, Daigo-san?"

"I'm sure I won't let you down."

After Daigo finished speaking, Fang Yan and he both laughed.

"Let's find a place then, this place isn't suitable for our battle."

"no problem."

"Let's go to the professor's lab," Cynthia suggested. "His battlegrounds are pretty good."

Fang Yan scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Going to the professor's research institute again? Last time, during my battle with Karuni, I almost demolished his institute."

"However, it seems that only the doctor's research institute has a suitable battlefield nearby. In that case, let's go."

Fang Yan raised his hand to open the flip-up passage and went in first.

Daigo and his team were already used to operating in dialects, and they were even used to reversing the passage.

"Goth?"

You're not bringing Gengar or anything like that?

Miss Gothic's voice rang out, and Fang Yan stopped in his tracks, then silently walked through the crowd back to the breeding house.

"Gengar, bring Mighty and the others over here for a moment."

He shouted in dialect.

Gengar quickly arrived with Mighty and the others, then leaped and floated into the Reverse Tunnel.

Dr. Yamanashi's Research Institute.

As Dr. Yamanashi looked at the four champions who had suddenly appeared, a sense of foreboding flashed through his mind.

"PhD."

Cynthia greeted Dr. Yamanashi first.

Fang Yan and others followed closely behind.

"What are you doing here—" Dr. Yamanashi looked at the four champions in front of him and asked them what brought them here.

Dr. Yamanashi has become accustomed to dialects occasionally coming through the reverse channel.

"Doctor, we'd like to borrow the battlefield for a bit." Fang Yan grinned.

"————" Dr. Yamanashi glanced at Fang Yan, then at Daigo and Michael beside him.

"So today you're with ————"

"I apologize for disturbing you, Professor Yamanashi," Daigo said politely.

"With Champion Daigo?" Professor Yamanashi looked at the gentle and refined man before him, sighed, and then nodded. "Since you're all here, how could I refuse?"

After saying that, Dr. Yamanashi led the four of them toward the battlefield of the research institute.

"Could you go a little easier this time?" Professor Yamanashi asked Fang Yan and Daigo, standing outside the battlefield.

"Uh—that—Doctor, I promise, this match will be very exciting."

Hearing the dialect-speaking reply, Dr. Yamanashi had already anticipated it. He sighed and then said, "Alright then, good luck to you guys."

"Most people wouldn't even have the chance to see a match like this," Dr. Yamanashi said, looking at the assistants who had gathered around. "Go and clean up the arena."

"Yes!" The assistants happily ran off to clean up the area.

Fang Yan and Daigo are preparing for the upcoming battle.

"Daigo-san, what rules will we be using for today's match?" Fang Yan asked Daigo.

As the one being challenged, he naturally handed over the rules of the battle to Daigo.

"How about 3 vs 3?" Daigo asked.

Fang Yan nodded. "Of course."

The formidable enemies defeated and the major events resolved along the way have made Fang Yan fearless in battle.

After the site was cleared, Fang Yan and Da Wu stood on the site at the same time.

Michael was temporarily appointed as the referee.

Fang Yan stood on the field, and after their eyes met, the two spoke at the same time: "Let's have a match, Mr. Daigo."

"Let's have a battle, Dialect Shopkeeper."

The two simultaneously threw out a Poké Ball, and a red light flashed.

A huge, fiery red figure appeared in front of Fang Yan, while Daigo stood before a colossal steel beast.

"Aggron, Stealth Rock!"

Aggron scattered pitons all over the field.

As the rock nail gradually became transparent, Fang Yan pointed with his finger.

"Nine-Tailed Fox, Azure Flame!"

The flames within the Nine-Tails' body were frantically tempered, and then it spat out a blue flame with a higher temperature and greater destructive power than ordinary flames.

Daigo:? ? ?

Mikoli: ? ? ?

The terrifying temperature melted all the surrounding invisible rocks and then spread towards Aggron.

"Use an earthquake!"

Aggron endured the scorching blue flames, violently shaking the ground.

Cracks began to appear on the ground, forming waves that spread towards the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Looking at the ruined site from the very beginning, Dr. Yamanashi realized for the first time that living close to dialects could also be a problem.

"Flash Charge!"

Nine-Tailed Fox, wreathed in countless blue flames, defiantly crashed into the heavily injured Aggron, despite the damage from the earthquake.

It has learned to incorporate blue flames into its other moves.

"A massive impact!"

The two enormous bodies collided, and the resulting shockwave blew away the wooden pendant on Fang Yan's chest. Fang Yan staggered back several steps and raised his hand to shield his forehead.

After the shockwave dissipated, Fang Yan looked at the center of the arena. Nine-Tails was still standing there, while Aggron lay beside Nine-Tails.

"Although I knew that the Nine-Tails of the Fangyan Shopkeeper was strong in close combat, I didn't expect it to be this strong. It actually defeated Aggron in melee combat."

Mikkuri was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Aggron to lose to a Nine-Tails in melee combat.

Fang Yan recalled Ninetales into its Poké Ball, looked at Steven, and said, "Actually, Aggron isn't necessarily much heavier than my Ninetales."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ninetales jumped out of its Poké Ball, stared at Fang Yan, and then, in full view of everyone, lashed its tail hard across his back.

Fang Yan was so moved that tears streamed down her face.

"Laji".

Deserve it.

Miss Skirt stood in the audience and said something.

After calming down, Fang Yan looked at Daigo, who had just sent out his Cinnabar and was waiting for Fang Yan to send out his second Pokémon.

A flash of red light appeared, and an even more imposing figure appeared on the field.

"Cough!"

fighting!

Daigo looked at the incredibly powerful and terrifying creature and smiled bitterly.

The opponent was already ridiculously strong, and then there was the elemental advantage/disadvantage—

There's no other way; at this point, we have to just go for it.

"Cradle Lily, use Powerful Whip!"

Cradle Lily extended its large, thick tentacles and lashed out at Dali. Dali clasped its four arms together in front of its chest, enduring the powerful lashes from Cradle Lily.

"Grab it!"

Upon hearing the command in the dialect, Dali instantly released its defenses, reached out and grabbed the tentacles of the Cradle Lily, rendering it immobile.

"Take root!"

Cradle lilies continuously send their roots deep into the ground, thereby increasing their endurance.

"Take root? With all your might, uproot it!"

He squatted down into a horse stance, and under the horrified gaze of the Cradle Lily, he grabbed its tentacles and pulled it towards himself with all his might.

Cradle Lily struggled with its tentacles, trying to break free from Dali's control, but it was clear that its strength was far inferior to Dali's, much less than that of Fang Yan and Shana.

Cradle Lily watched helplessly as she was uprooted and dragged toward Dali.

"Explosive Fist!"

He loosened his grip, watching the cradle lily fly towards him due to inertia, then clenched his four fists, beginning to gather strength.

Cradle Lily flew in the air, only able to watch helplessly as the powerful fist hurtled towards her.

"Come back first, Cradle Lily."

Steven managed to recall Cindy back into its Poké Ball in time, dodging the powerful attack.

Dali stumbled after missing his target, but after regaining his balance, he looked curiously at the Metagross that had appeared opposite him and scratched his head.

"What's wrong?"

Strange? Where's Cradle Lily?

Fang Yan stared wide-eyed at the Metagross that had appeared on the field.

"Isn't your Cradle Lily a bit abnormal?"

Daigo was caught off guard by Fang Yan's sudden question. He looked at Fang Yan and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"I remember that you can't switch Pokémon after using the Root move, right? Why were you able to take it back?"

In response to Fang Yan's question, Daigo said, "Didn't you have Dali uproot it? Once it's uprooted, it's no longer considered to be in a rooted state, so of course you can put it back into the Poké Ball."

dialect:???

"You can do it like that?"

"So, battling is a very interesting thing, isn't it? Sometimes your actions can lead to different outcomes."

Daigo said something softly, then had Metagross use Agility.

"Come back first, Mighty, Gengar, go!"

Faced with Daigo's ace, Fangyan also sent out his own ace, the head of the breeding house.

Gengar!

"Goblin!"

I'm here!

Gengar leaped out of the Dialect Shadow, floated onto the field, looked at Metagross opposite it, and grinned.

"Strong mental focus!"

Gengar was being relentlessly tormented by Psychic, much like clay.
