A set of red armor shimmered around Yang Tao's body, and the space of the Pokémon World became extremely turbulent under the impact of the energy.
Sabrina swallowed.
Her Teleportation ability was unusable; if she forced it, she would surely be torn apart by the turbulent space.
Yang Tao watched Sabrina's face gradually turn pale, walked step by step to her, and pressed the Red Matter Katar against her fair cheek, making her face even paler.
"What excellent eyes."
"Come on, use your Psychic power, try to please me!"
Sabrina's eyes lit up, but her mental power vanished into Yang Tao's body like a mud ox entering the sea.
The other party still wore that 'wicked smile,' without the slightest reaction.
"I… I lost."
Upon hearing this, Yang Tao retracted the Red Matter Katar, and the aura emanating from his body also disappeared, transforming from a demon god seemingly intent on destroying the world back into that harmless young man.
Like an older brother next door, he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then you can stay here as my assistant…"
Then, pointing to the empty space next to the Gym, he asked, "What do you think of putting your Gym over there?"
The intense use of mental power made Sabrina's legs go weak, and she slumped to the ground, but hearing Yang Tao's words, she looked at the empty spot next to the Gym and nodded slightly.
She thought Yang Tao was going to build a new Gym for her.
"As long as you're satisfied, wait for me here for a moment…"
After Yang Tao finished speaking, he disappeared in front of Sabrina, and Ash, Misty, and Brock, who were not far away, finally came to their senses, their faces full of disbelief.
Even Pokémon seemed pitifully weak in front of such power, after all, Ash's trio at this stage had never even seen Legendary or Sacred Beasts, let alone Legendary Beasts going all out.
"Was that real just now? Not an illusion?"
"Such power, I'm afraid even Pokémon couldn't possess it!"
Just then, a black dot appeared in the sky, and Misty pointed to the distant sky and said, "Something's flying over!"
Ash and Brock looked up, only to see an orange-bodied Pokémon flying towards their location at an extremely fast speed.
"This is…"
Ash pulled out his Pokémon Pokédex, and the Pokédex immediately sounded an alert: "Dragonite, very large, can fly in the air. It can circle the Earth in about 16 hours."
"It's Dragonite!"
Dragonite circled the beacon's light pillar twice, then descended from the sky onto the Gym plaza.
Dragonite looked a bit goofy, with two long, thin antennae and a small horn on top of its head. Its striped belly was creamy and extended to the tip of its long tail.
It looked like an exquisite, large doll.
A figure jumped down from Dragonite, and Ash's face showed a surprised expression when he saw the newcomer: "Professor Oak?!"
The newcomer was indeed Professor Oak, who had said he was coming to visit.
"Oh? Ash, why are you here too?"
Ash reached out and scratched his head, saying, "We happened to be traveling to Goldenrod City and heard there was a Gym here, so we wanted to come and see."
"Professor Oak, why did you come all the way here?"
Professor Oak smiled and said, "Gary told me that the Pokémon of the owner here are very special, so I came to see, and I didn't expect to meet you here."
"By the way, isn't Mr. Yang here? Huh? Why is there someone lying on the ground here?"
It was then that Professor Oak saw one person sitting and one person lying on the ground in the plaza.
Ash didn't know how to explain what had just happened for a moment and could only hesitantly say, "He was just here…"
Then his gaze turned to the sky behind Professor Oak, and he stood frozen in place, his eyes looking as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
Professor Oak saw Ash's expression and, turning his head, asked in confusion, "Ash, why are you…"
Mid-sentence, he saw a scene he would never forget in his life.
A building was flying through the air, and he was very familiar with this building; it was the Goldenrod Gym located in Goldenrod City.
The massive Gym was flying in the sky just like that.
A figure landed in the plaza; it was the person he was looking for this time, Yang Tao.
But the other party now made him feel incredibly unfamiliar.
His eyes emitted a faint blue light, and there were no pupils in his eyes, only those points of light like stars.
Yang Tao showed a warm smile when he saw Professor Oak: "Professor Oak, I'm so sorry, I had to go out for something just now."
With that, Yang Tao extended his hand and shook Professor Oak's hand, saying, "Professor Oak, please wait a moment longer, I still need to put this Gym down."
With that, he flew to the side of the World Gym, extended his hand towards the empty ground: "Super Shinra Tensei!"
A powerful repulsive force appeared, creating a circular deep pit in the ground, and the Goldenrod Gym steadily settled into the deep pit, perfectly fitting together.
"Perfect!"
He returned to the plaza.
But he found that Professor Oak was still in shock and hadn't recovered.
He waved his hand.
"Professor Oak, Professor Oak!"
After calling out twice, Professor Oak jolted and finally came to his senses, then a fervent gaze burst forth from his eyes.
He walked to Yang Tao at an extremely fast speed, extended both hands, gripped his hand, and said, "Mr. Yang, what incredible power, I have only seen such power in top-tier Pokémon…"
"Are you interested in coming to my laboratory for a visit? In my laboratory, I have a Dragonite that can do backflips, it's very interesting."
Yang Tao: "→_→"
This tone seems a bit familiar, which Dragonite can't do a backflip?
You're probably not asking me to visit your lab, but rather to participate in your experiment!
Who says being researched isn't participating in an experiment?
"Professor Oak, let's forget about visiting the laboratory for now, I have something to do and cannot leave at the moment."
"By the way, Professor Oak, did Gary tell you that I need a Pokémon that knows Thunder Web… I want my Caterpie to learn it."
Professor Oak's face flashed with a hint of disappointment when he heard Yang Tao's refusal, but the fervent intensity in his eyes did not diminish at all, instead, it seemed to grow stronger. He pulled out a Poké Ball from his waist and handed it to Yang Tao, saying, "There are truly too few Pokémon that know Thunder Web."
"However, after I heard your request, I bothered Dr. Birch from the Hoenn region to help me find an Joltik with the Thunder Web skill, it should be able to meet your needs."
"You've really gone to a lot of trouble, Professor Oak!"
Taking the Poké Ball Professor Oak handed over, he pressed the white button in the middle, and the originally large glass ball-sized Poké Ball returned to its normal size.
He pressed the button again and threw it out, and a yellow, spider-like Pokémon appeared in front of him.
Joltik's body is yellow, and its abdomen is brown. It has four eyes, two large ones on either side of its head, and two small ones between the two large eyes. It has two pairs of blue legs covered in yellow fur.
This little guy is a Pokémon that lives in cities.
Because it cannot generate electricity itself, it attaches to other large Pokémon to absorb static electricity, then stores the electricity in its electricity-storing pouch.
(I'll stay in the Pokémon World for two more days, then it's time to go to the New World.)
