Pokémon: The Climb

After quickly flipping through the diary in his hand, Yang Yan suddenly felt mixed feelings in his heart.

But there was no time for him to recover. The next moment, he looked at the other things he had picked out and rummaged through them.

Soon, Yang Yan, who was holding a book of documents, showed an expression of relief on his face, "Found it!"

Then he turned around and looked at the skeleton corresponding to the certificate.

Standing in front of the coffin, Yang Yan looked complicated.

"Tomioka Nao, I didn't expect that we would meet here..."

Yang Yan had guessed what the scene would be like when he discovered Tomioka Nao, but this situation far exceeded his expectations.

What should I say? Logically speaking, Yang Yan should avenge him. After all, he had received so much care from Grandpa Tomioka before.

But he had just made a promise to the ghosts of the clay giants.

It was really too difficult for him to regret it now.

However, the first thing he needs to do now is to collect Nao Tomioka's bones.

"I promised Grandpa Tomioka that I would take you home. I'm offended!"

After carefully sorting Tomioka Nao's bones, he would bury Tomioka Nao next to Tomioka's grandfather's grave.

"I hope your grandparents can live a better life there..." Yang Yan silently blessed.

Then, Yang Yan, who didn't know what to do, leaned against the coffin and remained silent.

Even the clay giant giant followed Gengar and the others to the spiritual world without paying attention.

I don't know how long it took before Yang Yan finally came back to his senses.

"Dust to dust to dust, let the past go with the wind!"

He decided not to pursue the matter further.

It's not that he is cold-blooded and unwilling to avenge Nao Tomioka.

Not to mention that he didn't know which Pokémon was responsible for Tomioka's direct death. Even if he found it, the result would most likely lead to the Clay Giant and the others falling out with Yang Yan.

Yang Yan is a person who likes to weigh gains and losses, and there is no benefit in doing so.

Even if interests are put aside, logically speaking, Haruhiko's promise was to take Tomioka Naoya back, and he did not promise Grandpa Tomioka to avenge his grandson, so if he does this, it will be unnecessary, and he and Tomioka Naoya have no relationship at all. know.

The most important thing is, besides bringing trouble to the living, does revenge have any impact on the dead? No. Can you bring him back to life? also can not.

The living need to look forward.

Moreover, in the wild experience, life and death are ordinary and have nothing to do with right or wrong.

"Although I feel sorry for you by doing this, the current situation does not allow me to fall out with the giant clay dolls, so Grandpa Tomioka asks you to forgive me." Yang Yan clasped his hands together: "Wait a hundred years from now, and then I will give you the gift in person. You, kowtow to Brother Nao Tomioka and apologize..."

Emotion and reason, this is a difficult question that has never had a correct answer throughout the ages. Yang Yan ultimately chose to prefer the latter.

The situation in the secret realm is unclear, and Yang Yan will most likely need help from the giant clay dolls. If he turns against him, it will be no different than risking his life.

He still had too many things to do, and he didn't want to interrupt this hard-won second life.

Now that he had made a decision, Yang Yan quickly stopped worrying and recalled some of the things he had just learned in the diary.

"I remember that there were 15 people in their archaeological team. There are only 6 corpses here at the moment. For the remaining 7 people, is it because the ghosts did not find their bones, or are they actually still alive? Or maybe they found a way later. Left the secret realm?"

Yang Yan thought for a moment and thought the latter was the most likely.

"Assuming that someone brought the news back from the secret realm, and assuming that there is indeed a mastermind behind the reappearance of the secret realm, then everything makes sense!" Yang Yan analyzed.

If the person who brought back the information did not tell the alliance, but told others, this could explain why the alliance seemed to take no action at the beginning of the incident.

"Another point is that the records about other people in the diary did not involve too much after everyone entered the secret realm, because when they entered, they were teleported to other places just like the bounty hunters. But luckily , the distance that most of them were teleported was not too far apart, so they quickly contacted 8 people through radio. 8 people..." Yang Yan looked around, "Then why are the other two missing? They Where is it again?"

As soon as a mystery is solved, a new problem arises.

"Logically, it's impossible for the ghosts not to bring them back together. So, did those two people leave to find others, or did they not go with others because of something?"

Yang Yan didn't know because there was no relevant record in the diary.

"Damn it, there's a link missing!" Yang Yan couldn't help but cursed inwardly. Yang Yan dared to conclude that something must have happened to the eight of them later. This matter may not be important, but it may also be important.

"I don't understand, I don't understand!" Yang Yan sighed.

Only then did I realize that my stomach was already growling with hunger.

Looking at the time, Yang Yan said in surprise: "This night has already passed?!"

Before I knew it, the sun was already high in the sky.

Although Yang Yan couldn't see it, the change of time was real.

After realizing that so much time had passed, Yang Yan suddenly realized that he was not only hungry, but also very tired and wanted to sleep.

"Forget it, eating and sleeping are the most important things in the world. If you have anything to do, let me talk about it after I have rested!"

Yang Yan didn't intend to delve into the issues he didn't understand. As he just said, let him let the past go.

What he needs to consider now is not to find out what happened in front of him, but how to return to the living world alive.

After eating something in a hurry and taking out his sleeping bag, Yang Yan fell down and fell asleep.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Yang Yan slept in a tomb, sharing a room with dozens of skeletons.

I'm afraid not many people have this experience.

……

Soon, 3 days passed.

In the past three days, Yang Yan has been in the tomb.

He was waiting for the Pokémon to recover from their injuries, and for the clay giants to fully enjoy the benefits of the spirit world.

Of course, he himself also sorted out what he found in the tomb and his experiences along the way, and planned his next actions.

The first thing he has to do is not to find a way to return to the real world, or to find Mr. Xi, or even to return to the ground, but to find other ghosts in the secret realm.

After communicating with the Clay Doll Giant again, Yang Yan realized that there were quite a few ghost types that were not here. Just like the fake tomb that Yang Yan initially discovered, most of the ghost types that were not very powerful were killed by the Clay Doll Giant. It was arranged near the fake tomb.

After all, they are not very old, so it is normal that they cannot bear to stay in a boring tomb for a long time. The arrangement of the clay giants is very reasonable.

It was also because of knowing this that Yang Yan discovered that this tomb was connected to several bronze passages.

Three days later, after finishing everything in the tomb, Yang Yan took the Pokémon and walked into one of the passages.
