Pokémon: The Climb

Following the axe-splitting mantis, Yang Yan cautiously walked into the cave.

He had just fought a battle with iron ants in the cave, so even with the axe-splitting mantis in front of him, he did not dare to relax at all.

This cave is different from the one just now. There are obvious signs that it has been artificially repaired.

Not a lot of space, but good air circulation.

Yang Yan took out the flashlight again and scanned briefly in other directions, but found no problems.

The cave was not deep, and Yang Yan and the others only walked for more than a minute before reaching the end.

As far as the eye can see, a wooden box appears very conspicuously on a stone table in front.

The Ax-Splitting Mantis pointed at the table and motioned for Yang Yan to go over and take a look.

Yang Yan was very confused and couldn't figure out what was going on, but the answer must be in the box in front of him.

When he opened the box, what he saw was just a slightly more high-end space backpack than the one he used, but nothing else.

"It seems that the answer lies in this space bag."

Yang Yan took the bag out of the box and began to take out the contents at the same time.

There are very few things, or in other words, apart from some personal supplies and field supplies, there is only a notepad and an iron box. He still can't figure it out.

At this time, Axe-Splitting Mantis came over and pointed at the notepad held by Yang Yan.

"It seems that what you want to tell me should be in this notepad, right?"

Ax-Splitting Mantis nodded, then walked aside and began to sit down to rest. It seemed that he wanted to wait for Yang Yan to finish reading before talking.

Yang Yan sat on the stone bench next to the stone platform, glanced at Bada Diehou, then opened his notepad and started reading.

After about half an hour, Yang Yan finally figured out what was going on.

The owner of this space bag is named Kudoji. Just as he thought, he is indeed the one who came to participate in the trial, but he came three years ago!

His experience was similar to that of other people who were inadvertently brought here by Lugia, and there was nothing to mention.

But the difference between him and Yang Yan is that he went to an island with a large number of flying Pokémon.

After he came to the island, he was told everything by an owl that had lived for an unknown length of time.

After that, he made the same choice as Yang Yan, hoping to go out as soon as possible.

It's just that his luck is not good, because he doesn't have a water Pokémon in his hand, but he is arranged to be tested here.

Kudo Haru is a genuine high-level strength trainer. He has two high-level strength Pokémon in his hands, namely Blaster and Charmander.

He also has three other Pokémon, namely the intermediate-level Pokémon Monster and Flying Mantis, and the elementary-level Fire Spirit.

It is obvious that Kudoji is a trainer who is good at using fire Pokémon.

This is tragic, because the fire Pokémon is restrained by the large number of ground and rock Pokémon here, and the food he prepared is even less than Yang Yan, only five days' worth, so the final result that is……

Of course, at this time, some people will say, how can he not find food when he has two high-level Pokémon? And even if he really can't find it, he can just kill wild Pokémon to satisfy his hunger!

Indeed, Kudoji didn't worry about this problem at first. He thought the same way. If the food ran out, just kill the wild Pokémon. If there was no water, just go to the river here to fill it.

While he was looking for water, he accidentally discovered the mouth of the whirlpool, but it turned out to be the territory of two elite Bankelas!

But Kudoji only saw one at first.

So even though he was at the elite level, he felt that he was still capable of fighting. Plus, the place to go was right in front of him. How could he give up?

So, he boldly challenged this Bankelas!

He played pretty well at the beginning. Even when the main force was restrained, he almost took down this Bankilas at the cost of serious injuries to the duck-billed fire dragon and strange power.

The reason why I say it was a close call is because at this moment, another Bankelas happened to appear!

In the panic, the Explosive Beast and the Flying Mantis were seriously injured one after another, and the Duck-billed Fire Dragon was directly killed on the spot!

In the end, Kudoji was able to escape only after Kuai Li tried his best to block him.

This battle almost wiped out Kudoji's many years of hard work as a trainer!

In the end, although the Flying Mantis successfully recovered after treatment, the Explosive Beast was left with injuries that were difficult to heal, and he ultimately failed to survive and died here.

The successive deaths of Pokémon, coupled with the pain of not being able to get out, finally made him feel discouraged.

Half a month later, he finally died here because there was no food...

However, Kudoji probably had been mentally prepared for a long time, so he asked the fire elf to burn his body after his death, put his ashes in a box, and write down his experiences during this period, hoping that someone would be able to do so later. Discovered, and then asked those who came after him to take his ashes back to his hometown - Manjin City, Chengdu Region, and hand them over to his parents.

After reading all this, Yang Yan sighed unconsciously.

"Is this the cruelty of this world?"

Yang Yan looked up at the darkening sky ahead: "I used to see on TV or in the news how many trainers died or disappeared every year, and I could see missing person notices popping up from time to time every day. Although I care a little, but I always feel that all this is a bit far away from me. I didn’t expect that today, I would actually meet such a person, a trainer who unfortunately lost his life while traveling..."

Yang Yan looked at the iron box aside, and now he knew that it contained the ashes of Kudo Haru: "Trainer Kudo, don't worry, if I, Yang Yan, can get out, I will definitely take you back to my hometown! "

Then, a complicated look appeared on his face: "But if I can't get out like you..."

The mood was a little heavy, and even Badadie, Gemstone Starfish and Mashana who were standing by the side felt the pain in Yang Yan's heart and wanted to come up to comfort him.

Yang Yan touched Ba Dadie's head and tried his best to smile: "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile yet."

"Bah." Badadie was very worried.

"Okay, okay, I believe we will get out!" Yang Yan cheered.

After finally recovering from his emotions, Yang Yan looked at the axe-splitting mantis sitting beside him again.

Ax Splitting Mantis was already paying attention to Yang Yan when Yang Yan closed the record book, but he didn't disturb Yang Yan when he was talking to his Pokémon, and the scene just now reminded him of himself and Kudo. The time Zhi once spent together...

Yang Yan said to the Axe-Splitting Mantis: "You must be Kudoji's Flying Mantis, right?"

The reason why I ask this is because in the end, only the Flying Mantis and the Fire Spirit survived among Kudo Osamu's Pokémon, and the Pokémon in front of me could only be related to the Flying Mantis at first glance.

Ax-Splitting Mantis nodded after hearing this.
