Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 553 A Narrow Victory

The Gengar, struck by psychic power, kept spinning in circles in the air.

"口桀"

Ouch, that hurts!

"Metroid, move at high speed!"

Metagross began to move quickly in front of Gengar.

"Psychic Hammer!" Metagross's head was covered in psychic power as it slammed into Gengar.

"Dark Blast!"

Gengar grinned at Metagross, then slammed the Dark Blast it had prepared into Metagross's head. With a bang, Metagross was blasted away and slid a distance on the ground.

Metagross swayed its body, then hovered in the air, its eyes blazing with fighting spirit as it watched Gengar nimbly somersault and stand upright in mid-air.

"You're really strong, Dialect Shopkeeper." Daigo sighed, then took out the brooch from his chest, raised it to his lips, and gently kissed the key stone on it.

"Remember my heart—the keystone beyond evolution."

The light emanating from the Key Stone and the light emanating from the Mega Stone on Metagross merged together, creating an exceptionally dazzling brilliance.

Metagross, Mega Evolution!

As the light faded, Metagross closed its four legs, facing both Diablo and Gengar.

"Conkin!"

Fang Yan then grabbed the wooden pendant that had suddenly floated up from his chest and pulled it down.

"We are of one mind."

Gengar flicked its tongue, pulling out the Mega Stone, and grinned at Mega Metagross.

Fang Yan suddenly gripped the wooden pendant tightly and shouted, "Gengar, Mega Evolve!"

A light far brighter than the light emitted by Steven and Metagross appeared on the field, and the terrifying aura blew away all the rubble that had been scattered by the cracked ground, sending it flying in all directions.

Miss Goth skillfully blocked the rubble.

"Goblin!"

Gengar stood on all fours and stepped into another dimension, its third eye growing from its forehead staring at the Mega Metagross opposite it.

It went from being a big purple fat guy to a big white fat guy.

"Metroid, Mind Hammer!"

Mega Metagross, enhanced by its high-speed movement, charged straight at Mega Gengar, its four strong and powerful arms slamming into Gengar.

"Dark Hole!"

A dark hole condensed in front of Mega Gengar, and Mega Metagross's Psychic Hammer slammed into the dark hole, shattering it instantly.

Gengar: ? ! !

/（/。A。）Z

Is it that scary?

It quickly moved away.

The Mega Metagross, having smashed through the Dark Hole, continued its charge towards Gengar.

"Conkin!"

Gengar grinned.

Just kidding, I'm not afraid at all.

"Metamorphoses, get out of the way!"

Upon hearing Daigo's voice, Mega Metagross immediately flew upwards, then flipped over and flew through the air.

By flipping his body upside down, Metagross spotted Dark Blast following behind him.

"Conkin?"

When was Dark Blast used?

That fatso has hidden his other moves in the dark hole again!

With a downward slam, the Mega Metagross smashed the Dark Blast to pieces, and used the impact to slide back in the air to Daigo's front.

"Kou Jie—"

'

The voice of Mega Gengar rang out above it. It looked up and found Mega Gengar hanging upside down in the air, grinning at it.

"Dark Hole!"

The Dark Hole slammed into the Mega Metagross, and the Dark Blast and Shadow Ball inside slammed it into the ground.

"Shadowball!"

Fang Yan pressed his advantage, slamming Mega Gengar's Shadow Ball into the ground with incredible force.

Dr. Yamanashi, watching from the sidelines, felt his heart pound with each explosion of Shadow Orbs as they rained down on the field as if they were free.

"Conkin!"

Mega Metagross, bracing itself against the Shadow Ball, soared into the sky, slamming Mega Gengar away.

"Kou Jie?"

Fang Yan looked at the reflective barrier that appeared in front of the Mega Metagross, somewhat puzzled.

When was the reflective wall used?

Even with the damage reduction from the Reflector, Mega Metagross was still covered in wounds. Its metal shell was covered with scratches of varying depths, and some of the armor edges were even slightly dented, emitting faint energy dust as it floated in the air like a rootless duckweed.

"Mind Hammer!"

Before Mega Gengar could regain its footing, Mega Metagross rammed into it again, sending it flying.

"Kou Jie—"

""

Mega Gengar got up from the ground and shook its head.

Ouch, that hurts!

Super Gengar grimaced in pain.

"Gengar is so tanky!"

Michael looked at Gengar, who was injured but showed no sign of weakness on his face, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Metamorphose, we won't lose! Let's go! Use our full power!" Steven pointed a finger and shouted to the opposing Mega Gengar, "Full Power Attack, Psychic Hammer!"

"Conkin!!!"

The white Metagross's aura continued to rise, and the Steel and Psychic types on its body began to merge together. The small iron filings falling around it began to gather in front of Metagross, forming a shield.

Like a cannonball, the Mega Metagross launched itself out.

"Gengar, let's unleash our full power, Dark Void!"

The giant dark hole was flung out by Mega Gengar using its head. Mega Metagross, moving at high speed, avoided the dark hole and headed straight for Mega Gengar.

After escaping the dark hole, the Mega Metagross felt a powerful suction force pulling it back from behind. When it looked back, it saw that the dark hole was using gravity to pull its body back.

"Conkin!!!"

Mega Metagross forcefully broke free from the suction and crashed into Mega Gengar.

"Reverse gravity," Fang Yan commanded.

Mega Gengar grinned, as Mega Metagross stared at it.

"That is—"

Daigo stared wide-eyed at the dark hole that was chasing after Mega Metagross.

"This guy—is using gravity to bring the dark hole closer to the super Metagross monster?" Mikoli was stunned by Fang Yan's actions.

boom!

The Dark Hole caught up with Mega Metagross and caused an explosion, blasting Mega Metagross away, causing it to crash to the ground, exit its Mega Evolution form, and then lose consciousness.

Gengar also exited its Mega form, curled its tongue, and hid the Mega Stone back inside.

"Thank you for your hard work, Metagross." Steven recalled Metagross into its Poké Ball, and then sent out Cinnabar again.

"Come back, Gengar, leave the rest to Mighty."

Gengar nodded, floated back to Fangyan's side, jumped into the shadows, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes.

Dali reappeared on the field and, facing Cradle Lily's attack, forcefully pulled it over. Then, he unleashed a powerful Burst Punch, sending it flying and landing next to Daigo, where it lost consciousness.

One punch.

Dali calmly withdrew his fist and clasped his hands together.

"Cough."

good night.

"That strength—isn't it a bit too terrifying?" Mikoli couldn't help but exclaim.

He really didn't want to encounter Dali on the battlefield; he was both tanky and could deal damage.

Others may have high damage output with their left or right fist, but Dali is different; it has two other hands.

After the battle ended, Fang Yan walked up to Daigo, extended his hand, and said, "Thank you for your guidance."

Daigo extended his hand and shook hands with Fang Yan. "It's me. Thank you for your guidance, Manager Fang Yan."

"I told you from the beginning, Fang Yan has improved very quickly. It's been so long since he defeated Champion Cynthia, so he's only going to get stronger."

Mikoli walked over and said something.

Fang Yan shook his head modestly, "It's not that exaggerated, this time it was just a narrow victory."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.

Cynthia: ? ? ?

Daigo:? ? ?

Mikoli: ? ? ?

Dr. Yamanashi: ? ? ?

A narrow victory?

Tell me, where was the danger in this narrow victory?

Isn't that a clean sheet?

You still won by a narrow margin?

You almost didn't get a clean sheet, right?

After the battle ended, everyone bid farewell to Professor Yamanashi and returned to the breeding house via the reverse passage that had opened in the opposite direction.

Only Dr. Yamanashi remained on the field. He looked at the battlefield, which had been repaired only a short time before being destroyed again, and sighed.

"Remember to have someone repair the site," Dr. Yamanashi said to his assistants.

"Yes."

The assistants quickly agreed.

Seeing this, Dr. Yamanashi nodded and left the battlefield, feeling increasingly heartbroken.

Should we just leave it unrepaired? Next time he comes, we can just say the battleground isn't fixed and can't be used, so he can't play battles here.

Dr. Yamanashi always felt that dialects would come to the research institute to borrow the battlefield.

Well, he has helped Futaba Town and Masago Town a lot, after all. It's just a battlefield, let him use it if he wants.

Back at the breeding shed, Fang Yan simply lay down on the old chair in the garden to rest.

As for the nursery, let's leave it to the super-powerful cat sister to look after. Even when it's sleeping, there's still Miss Gothic sitting in the rest area while she's busy with her work.

"Isn't the manager from the dialect shop handling any affairs?"

Daigo poured himself a cup of tea and saw Fang Yan lying on the old chair with his eyes closed, resting. He asked her curiously.

"Affairs?" Fang Yan opened his eyes and looked at Daigo with a puzzled expression.

Daigo nodded. "Aren't those Unova region matters piled up in the rest area? Don't you need to deal with them?"

"What you're saying is fine. Miss Goethe is here; she'll handle it for me."

Mikoli: ? ? ?

Daigo:? ? ?

"Miss Gothic—can it also help with chores?"

Daigo asked incredulously.

Fang Yan nodded, "Of course, Miss Goth is very smart. I trained her for a long time before she learned to handle things."

""

"However, it will entrust me with some particularly important matters, while handling the rest of the tedious and troublesome tasks."

"That's why I often say that the breeding center can't do without Miss Gothic, just like the Sinnoh League can't do without Shoryu."

Daigo and Michael exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of longing in each other's eyes.

Should I catch a Gothic lady myself and have it learn how to handle affairs from the Dialect Shopkeeper's Gothic lady? That way, when it returns to the Hoenn region, it can handle affairs for me, and then I can go on a long trip to dig for rocks.

Daigo and Michael exchanged glances, increasingly convinced that this method was feasible.

Want to try it?

"Um—shop manager with dialect, could you ask Miss Gothic to give our Pokémon some pointers next time we come?" Daigo asked tentatively.

"What?" Fang Yan asked in confusion, but looking at the expressions on Daigo and Michael's faces, he knew what they were thinking.

"You guys aren't planning on—"

Daigo and Michael nodded, giving each other embarrassed smiles.

Fang Yan stroked his chin and said, "I don't know if it will work. This requires Miss Goth's approval. Based on my understanding of its personality, it shouldn't want its people to suffer such pain."

joke----

If Goth's mother knew that because of her, her people would be forced to work endless overtime to handle affairs, she would probably die a terrible death.

Miss Goth, who was in the rest area wearing gold-rimmed glasses and handling her affairs with a pen, suddenly shivered. Her pen wobbled, and the words she wrote became crooked.

Miss Goth put down her pen and looked around curiously.

"Goth?"

Strange, why did I suddenly have a bad feeling? I suddenly felt that my people were about to be plunged into dire straits? What's going on?

Miss Goth was completely baffled, so she decided to ask Gengar that night and have it help her solve her problem.

Gengar has recently become obsessed with tarot cards, so I can have it do some calculations for me to see who's plotting against me from behind.

I just don't know if Gengar's skills are reliable.

Miss Gothia composed herself, poured herself a cup of hot tea, took a sip, picked up her pen again, lowered her head, and began to deal with the tasks that her dialect had assigned her.

well----

My whole life has been like walking on thin ice.

Miss Gothic sighed inwardly as she handled her affairs.

Whose Pokémon needs to help with League affairs?

Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if this gets out?

People might say that your league is short of people, and you have to let a Pokémon handle things.

Of course, Miss Gothic's criticism was wrong.

If word gets out, the champions of each league will be more than happy to have Miss Gothia handle the matter.

To put it simply, consider the two champions in the Hoenn region: one wants to mine rocks, and the other wants to host a grand competition. Having a Pokémon to handle their affairs without making a mistake is like a godsend.

The happiest people in the Sinnoh region might not be the champions, but the Elite Four members.

As for Unova—they simply have an easygoing personality.

Carlos? Sorry, Carlos's side job as a champion is winning the league championship.

Alola — Alola has not yet formed a formal league.

As for the Galar region—its affairs are not handled by Dante either.

As for the Parthian region, it goes without saying.

Life goes on, Miss Gothic's work continues, and of course, our little Shana and little Tomoyo's school life continues.

Inside the school, Shana and Chiyo sat obediently in their seats, this time with Doraemon and Mini beside them.

There were also three invisible figures and one five-pointed star figure.

Latias, Meloetta, and Victini floated on the classroom ceiling, watching Jirachi peek out from Shana's backpack and signaling it to be careful.
