Pokémon: The Climb

Winter turns to spring, and as the weather gets warmer, Songsha City gradually "wakes up".

More and more people came out of the room, and travelers from all over began to gather in the city.

I don’t know since when, a piece of information gradually began to spread in Songsha City.

"You know, I heard that someone discovered a huge ruins deep in the desert!"

"Not only that, I also heard that someone found extremely valuable and rare Pokémon in it!"

"There are also rumors that the team that found that place was not strong enough and did not finish exploring the ruins. As a result, one of the guys in the team drank too much and accidentally spilled the beans when they came back. Now we are about to take advantage of it!"

……

Walking in the streets and alleys of Songsha City, similar rumors were everywhere, but no one could tell whether they were true or false. The rumored team that discovered the new ruins was even missing.

At this time, a young man had just finished trading with a short intelligence merchant and was about to leave the tavern.

After walking out of the door and quickly browsing the information he bought, Yang Yan couldn't help but frown, "Nine times out of ten it's fake again!"

The information he bought had nothing to do with the recent rumors in Songsha City. He was looking for clues related to the ruins where Grandpa Tomioka's son went.

Although they didn't reveal anything to Grandpa Tomioka, since someone has explored it, there should be news related to it.

Although it is so long ago that it may not be possible to find out, but what if it happens?

When you don’t know anything, you’re like looking for a needle in a haystack in the desert. When will you find it?

Yang Yan had no intention of staying here for several years.

"The only information I know is that the ruins that Tomioka went to are suspected to be related to the king of an ancient dynasty..."

Nao Tomioka is the son of Grandpa Tomioka, and Grandpa Tomioka finally recalled this information.

Part of the reason why Yang Yan has been crazy about Sinnoh's history recently is because he wants to find relevant clues from it.

He did find some doubtful points, but they were all his subjective assumptions without a shred of concrete evidence.

"Forget it, I don't have time to think about this now!"

After gathering his mood, Yang Yan turned around and walked out of the city.

Today is the day to meet Mr. Xi, so we can't be late.

It is now past March, and people are setting off to the desert one after another every day.

Especially the recent rumors spreading in Songsha City have attracted a large number of people who want to seize the opportunity.

Arriving outside Songsha City, small teams were densely packed into groups, and shouts of people looking for teammates could be heard all around.

Although there were many people, Yang Yan still saw Mr. Xi at a glance.

I have to say that Mr. Xi is indeed a very unique person, and he is very conspicuous in the crowd.

When Yang Yan came over, he was smiling and communicating with others.

"Now he feels like a completely different person to me!"

At this moment, Mr. Xi's temperament changed drastically, and he seemed to have become a polite gentleman, gentle and approachable.

If he didn't know what kind of person he was, Yang Yan would never be able to see the flaw.

"My friend is here, let's go first."

Seeing Yang Yan coming over, Mr. Xi politely said goodbye.

"You're busy, you're busy!" The other party consciously left immediately.

After those people left, Yang Yan noticed that there were four other people with Mr. Xi.

Two of them were dressed the same and stood behind Mr. Xi with expressionless faces.

Like a bodyguard... Yang Yan guessed.

With just one glance at the other two, the unique temperament of a bounty hunter came over them.

"Welcome, my friend!" Mr. Xi extended his hand happily as if meeting an old friend.

"I'm not your friend. I'm just here to complete a deal, nothing more."

Yang Yan's behavior of not buying it made the atmosphere a bit awkward. The two people behind Mr. Xi immediately showed hostility towards Yang Yan, and the two bounty hunters suddenly became more interested in Yang Yan.

However, Mr. Xi didn't seem to care, and the next second he started introducing several people to each other.

He pointed at Yang Yan, "This is You, a master who is good at using the ghost system!"

"Oh, ghost type? That's quite rare!"

The bounty hunter on Yang Yan's right took a step forward, so Mr. Xi introduced him.

"Mr. Walter, a powerful trainer from the Unova region. One of his main trainers is the ghost-type Pokémon Jigglypuff that is unique to the Unova region!"

He glanced at both parties and smiled: "Both of you are good at using the ghost system. We can communicate more when you have time."

"Hezhong is here? Nice to meet you!" Yang Yan couldn't help but have some more ideas for Walter.

Not only because of the other person's origin, but also because of being chubby.

He still remembered that when he went to Kalos, he had encountered a group of migrating Pangdudu clan on the sea. At that time, because the spirit world breath on the cursed talisman leaked out, a light and fluttering bird was attracted to the ship, making Pangdudu A conflict broke out between them and the Kwantung Army.

There are not many types of ghosts, and Chuangdudu happens to be one of the races that Yang Yan doesn't have yet. The same goes for Mr. Shi's Rotom whom we met last time.

Meeting two guys who used the ghost system, Yang Yan couldn't help but sigh, "With the improvement of strength, people who use the ghost system are no longer so rare."

At this time, Mr. Xi turned around and introduced another person. This person was very unique. He had a fierce face with tattoos, but he was as small as a girl.

I don't know if it is because of this reason that he has been laughed at by many people, so he looks at people with a hint of hostility in his eyes, as if he will suddenly take action in the next second.

"This is Beiyi. He was once a famous force leader in Kanto. For some reasons, his force was destroyed and he came to Sinnoh. In terms of experience alone, Mr. Beiyi is undoubtedly the richest among us. Next We need more help from Mr. Beiyi for our desert trip!"

Mr. Xi's attitude towards Bei Yi was obviously different, and Bei Yi was also very helpful. He held his head high and didn't even look at Yang Yan. He was extremely arrogant.

If the other party doesn't want to talk to him, Yang Yan won't ask for trouble. Anyway, as long as he doesn't do anything to him, Yang Yan can ignore the rest and be happy and peaceful.

Of course, Beiyi's Kanto background made Yang Yan think of Team Rocket.

"Could it be that his power was wiped out by Team Rocket when they unified Kanto?" he speculated.

Next, Mr. Xi pointed at the two people behind him, "They are my subordinates. You can call them... Ah Shan and Ah Shi!"

Yang Yan laughed hard in his heart. It's not easy to make up a name right now, right?

He said that he didn't like using code names, but he ended up giving his subordinates new names, which once again made Yang Yan feel the hypocrisy of Mr. Xi.

After introducing everyone, Mr. Xi began to talk about the mission.

"This mission will be completed by a team of 6 of us. The desert environment is ever-changing. If you need to replenish supplies, I can wait a little longer. If not, we will set off now, okay?"

Everyone looked at each other and said they could leave now.

"Okay, let's leave now!"

After saying that, Mr. Xi took the lead and prepared to leave.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Yang Yan, who had just taken steps, suddenly saw a familiar figure in his peripheral vision.
