Pokémon: The Climb

In a tent.

As soon as Mr. Wu followed Aso in, he felt a heavy and depressing atmosphere coming over him.

Dakdo, Akiba Ginzu and Kuroiwa Yao, who had already arrived, stood up and saluted at the same time. Only a man with gauze wrapped on his right arm remained silent and just looked over calmly.

And this person is Kikuno.

"Old Wu, please sit down!"

Aso motioned for Mr. Wu to sit in the middle, while he himself sat on the side, and motioned for Qiuye Yinling and the other three to sit down.

There were actually more than a few of them present, but only a few of them were qualified to sit down, while the others could only stand aside.

"Let me introduce you first," Aso pointed at Kikuno with his right palm forward, "This is the Kikuno Corps who entered the secret realm before us."

Kikuno still didn't speak, but raised his low eyes, scanning everyone present, and finally only paused for a moment at Mr. Wu, and nodded slightly.

Aso continued: "Everyone must be able to see that Kikuno Corps and his men have just experienced a big battle, but you probably don't know who the opponent was that caused them heavy losses..."

At the critical point, Aso stopped.

Both Akiba Ginru and Kuroiwa Yoshi stared at Aso closely, waiting for the follow-up.

Surprisingly, the same is true for Dakdo.

At the same time, Kikuno, who looked back from Mr. Wu, once again inadvertently took in everyone's reactions.

"who is it?"

Finally, someone couldn't wait and blurted out in a low voice.

"It's Sidon Lane,"

Kikuno suddenly lost the right to speak, "Two Xidolan En!"

"What, Sidoran?"

"The mythical beast Sidorane?!"

……

As soon as these four words came out, everyone present immediately started talking.

A mythical beast is a mythical beast. Just hearing the name is enough to arouse people's interest, let alone if there is a possibility of encountering it.

But soon, everyone's yearning for the mythical beast turned into worry.

Everyone present had experienced many storms and waves, and no matter how surprising the appearance of the divine beast was, it would not let them ignore the miserable state of Kikuno and his men.

Sidoran is very strong.

The two Xiduo Lan En are even more powerful beyond measure!

Even Kikuno, who is vaguely about to become the next Four Heavenly Kings, is no match. Can they do it?

"Quiet!" Mr. Wu suddenly spoke, his deep voice reaching everyone's ears clearly.

No one expected that the usually amiable Mr. Wu could be so intimidating when he turned serious.

There was silence for a moment.

"Just a name scares you like this. If someone comes to attack you, why don't you just surrender? You are still a member of the military. It's such a shame!"

This short sentence made many people blush with embarrassment.

"Cough cough,"

Most of the people present were from the military. As the captain, Aso had to stand up at this time.

"Mr. Wu, I don't blame you all. The two divine beasts are indeed beyond our current strength, and what you said may really become a reality..."

"What do you mean?" Mr. Wu didn't understand.

"Let me tell you," Kikuno, who was familiar with the situation, took up the topic again, "I know that many people have not had the experience of facing a mythical beast directly. When they suddenly saw the miserable situation of me and my subordinates, they all thought that the mythical beast was invincible, but Actually this is wrong.”

"The power of the divine beast is strong, but it is far from invincible."

"If we set up a battle formation and allow me to fight Xiduolan alone, I am confident of winning. Unfortunately, this is other people's territory. Faced with outsiders who come in, no one is willing to reason with each other, and the mythical beast is no exception. .”

"Fortunately, although we suffered heavy losses in the end, Sidorane also felt uncomfortable. Both Sidorane were seriously injured in the end. If there weren't too many wild Pokémon trying to stop them, it would be hard to say whether we would win or lose..."

Thinking of this, a haze appeared on Kikuno's face.

Although they have no personal experience, many people can feel Kikuno's anger and powerlessness at that time.

Taking a deep breath, Kikuno continued: "After the battle, I sent a reconnaissance team to search for traces of Sidorane, and found that the wild Pokémon in the secret realm began to gather in an orderly manner."

"Everyone is experienced and should understand what this means..."

"The riot has begun!" someone responded.

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Wu realized that he might have made a prophecy.

Not only is Sydoran coming, but she is also bringing the wild Pokémon from the secret realm with her.

"Now we're in big trouble!"

Everyone immediately realized something was wrong.

People put forward their own opinions, but there were only two options: retreat and call for reinforcements.

Facing an entire secret realm of wild Pokémon, no one has the confidence to fight because there is no hope of winning.

"Everyone, listen to me!" Aso spoke to calm everyone's emotions, and then slowly said: "The alliance's follow-up troops are already on the way, but when they will arrive, we can't contact them in the secret realm."

"As for the retreat, I'm sorry, the excavation of the ruins is progressing slowly, and no transmission channel back has been discovered yet."

"The most important thing is that we have no way to confirm whether the transmission channel is really in the ruins under our feet, so..."

Yes, whether it is retreat or reinforcement, it is still in a state of uncertainty for the time being, but is it possible to do nothing and wait for Xi Doran to come over?

Of course not.

"I propose to speed up the excavation of the ruins!"

"no!"

As soon as he said these words, he was severely rejected by Mr. Wu and emphasized,

"The current speed is already the fastest!"

"How is it possible? Let us go down. I promise to turn the entire ruins upside down within three days. By then it will be clear whether the transmission channel is there or not."

"You are destroying cultural relics!" Mr. Wu slapped the table angrily and stood up so hard that even the chair was overturned with such force.

"Human life is more important, or those broken cultural relics?!" The man who just spoke continued to yell, without giving Mr. Wu any face.

As soon as these words came out, many people immediately understood him.

Yes, how could my life be comparable to those cold broken jars?

"You...!" Mr. Wu's face turned red with anger, but he was speechless.

"Anda, why are you talking to Mr. Wu? Why don't you apologize to Mr. Wu quickly!"

Aso immediately came out to smooth things over. Otherwise, if this continues, the situation will get out of control.

Anda, who was angry at Mr. Wu, apologized duplicitously.

"Mr. Wu, please calm down. The young man can't speak. I'll teach him a lesson for you later." Aso smiled and raised the chair, and helped Mr. Wu sit down, "But you should be able to see that the current situation It’s urgent, it’s not time to slowly excavate the ruins.”

If Yang Yan were present, he would definitely admire Aso's potential as a smiling tiger.

Mr. Wu could tell that Aso was trying to help him get off the stairs, so after taking a few breaths, he finally let go.

"The excavation work on the third layer is now nearing completion, and the fourth layer can be entered at any time."

"I don't object to you looking for teleportation passages in the ruins, but my people must be present, and you must explore under their guidance!"

Aso smiled and patted his chest, "No problem!"
