Pokémon: The Climb

Yang Yan took advantage of Ax Splitter Mantis's inattention and stepped forward to gently touch another Poke Ball, which belonged to Ax Split Mantis!

And only then did it finally know what the data of this Pokémon it had never seen before were like!

[Elf: Ax Splitting Mantis]

[Attributes: Insects, Rocks]

[Gender: Male]

[Feature: Insect Premonition]

[Qualification: Bug (50% good); Rock (70% good)]

[Race value: 500]

[Strength: Level 45 (Advanced)]

[Skills: Stare, Lightning Flash, Continuous Slash, Shadow Clone, Two Combos, Split, Qi Gathering, Rock Fall, Rock Blockade, Sharp Stone Attack, Rock Ax...]

Yang Yan quickly scanned the data and found nothing special except for a [Rock Axe] he had never seen before in the skill column.

Yang Yan secretly thought in his heart: "It turns out that the scientific name of this Pokémon is 'Axe-Splitting Mantis'. Not to mention, it really matches its appearance. Then the [Rock Ax] skill must be a move exclusive to Axe-Splitting Mantis." .”

Compared with the Flying Mantis, the Axe-Splitting Mantis has lost its flight attribute in exchange for the rock attribute. Just looking at the attribute restraint relationship, it can only be said to be better than the Flying Mantis, but not as good as the Giant Pincer Mantis.

Flying Mantis is a Pokémon that is 4x weak to rocks and 2x weak to flying, fire, electricity, and ice. It still has quite a few weaknesses.

In comparison, the Ax Mantis only has 3 weaknesses, namely 2x weak to rock, steel, and water.

But this is still not as good as the Giant Pincer Mantis, because the Giant Pincer Mantis only has a weakness that is 4 times weaker than fire! Moreover, in terms of attributes and restraints, excluding fairy attributes, Giant Pincer Mantis restrains 7 attributes, and it is also immune to the poison system, which is better than Ax Splitting Mantis and Flying Mantis.

So no matter from which aspect, Giant Pincer Mantis is still the best of the three.

Yang Yan quickly made a rough analysis in his mind, and then said to Ax Splitting Mantis: "Well, I think you should know that you have not been discovered in the outside world like you are now, so there is no one." Accurate racial name, so I don’t know how to call you. If you don’t mind, how about I call you Ax Splitting Mantis from now on? I think this name suits you very well.”

After hearing this, the Ax-Splitting Mantis just thought for a moment and nodded. It also felt that the name Yang Yan gave it was more appropriate.

"Okay," Yang Yan laughed: "Speaking of which, I still don't know why you found us. I just went to participate in the trial today, and you just happened to show up. If all this is a coincidence, then What a coincidence."

On the way here, Yang Yan had thought about why the axe-splitting mantis was around them.

Because the place where he was before was still far away from this cave. Since the Axe-Splitting Mantis lives here with the fire elves, it stands to reason that its activity range should be not far around here. It's really not too far away. Probably going to where he came from before.

After the Ax Splitting Mantis heard Yang Yan's question, it didn't answer in a hurry. Instead, it turned its head and started drawing on the ground.

Yang Yan felt very strange, but he still patiently watched the axe-splitting mantis painting.

After a long time, he finally saw what the axe-splitting mantis wanted to express.

According to Yang Yan's understanding, Ax Splitting Mantis himself should also know that whether he is participating in or leaving the trial, the whirlpool mouth will only appear where there is water.

So it searched around this place and recorded all the places with lake water. After that, it would walk back and forth in these places every once in a while.

Because it needs to help its trainer fulfill his last wish!

The time when Yang Yan appeared here happened to be when he came to the lake of the Chuanshan King group again.

I have to admit, this is indeed a coincidence.

Moreover, according to the map of Axe-Splitting Mantis, apart from Bankilas where Kudoji was defeated and the lake where Yang Yan came from, there are only 4 places with lakes left!

In other words, as long as Yang Yan follows the map of Axe-Splitting Mantis, he can quickly find the vortex to leave!

"this……!"

Thinking of this, Yang Yan excitedly asked Axe-Splitting Mantis if things were what he thought.

After getting the affirmative answer, Yang Yan really couldn't contain his inner joy anymore.

Although the painting of the Ax Splitting Mantis is very crude, Yang Yan can still feel that if he is allowed to explore these places by himself, a month may not be enough at all! So he really needs to thank Axe-Splitting Mantis.

Although the Ax Splitting Mantis did all this to fulfill Kudoji's wish, it could also be regarded as a big help to Yang Yan invisibly.

"Axe-splitting Mantis, thank you. With your guidance, I think we can go out soon!" Yang Yan said happily.

"Tomorrow, we'll go check out these places tomorrow! If we're lucky, we might be able to go out within two days!"

Seeing that Yang Yan was in a good mood, the expression of the Ax Mantis did not change. It picked up the fire elf's elf ball again, and then handed it to Yang Yan.

Yang Yan was stunned for a moment, then asked slowly: "I will take the fire elf out, but what about you? Axe-splitting Mantis, are you going out?"

Ax Splitting Mantis shook his head.

Yang Yan understood immediately: "It seems that you also know how special your existence is. If you go out, you will definitely face endless troubles..."

Ax-Splitting Mantis shook his head and signaled Yang Yan to stop talking.

Yes, you don’t have to think about how crazy people outside will be when a Pokémon they’ve never seen before appears.

But Yang Yan knew in his heart that Ax Mantis himself must also want to go back to accompany Kudoji.

Having done so many things in the past three years, Haruhiko could feel the deep bond between Axe-Splitting Mantis and Kudo Osamu.

"Well, in that case, I respect your decision."

Afterwards, Yangyan confirmed the next course of action with Axe-Splitting Mantis, and then enjoyed dinner with the Pokémon.

Early the next morning, Yang Yan took Baddie, Gemstone Starfish and Mashana, followed by Ax Splitting Mantis, and set off for the first destination of their trip.

Just like yesterday, the path forward of the Ax Splitting Mantis was still winding.

After about 10 hours of arduous trek, Yang Yan and his group finally arrived at their destination.

When he first arrived here, he immediately discovered what kind of Pokémon territory this was.

That's right, it's Dunjia!

"Presumably this is where the axe-splitting mantis hunts." Yang Yan thought to himself.

Because it immediately thought of the two Dunjia corpses it saw in the cave yesterday.

Across a small hill, Yang Yan first let everyone out to eat something to regain their strength.

There may be a tough battle to fight next, so you need to be fully prepared!
