Pokémon: The Climb

"What do you think?" Chang Gu picked up the newly poured tea cup and asked with a smile.

"I don't think so." Yang Yan said calmly: "After the battle between me and Dakdo in the afternoon, when I came into contact with Riolu, Miss Hase must have read all my information. Then you should know that I will not join the Sinnoh Alliance."

Hase took a sip of tea and said, "Those who can decisively leave their hometown Fengyuan Alliance have no reason to join other alliances. Based on the intelligence, it is indeed easy for people to think so."

She took a deep breath and looked at Yang Yan, "Well, I know it's unrealistic for you to join the Sinnoh Alliance, but other than that, I really can't think of anything else I should ask you to pay. How about you tell me what you can offer?"

Yang Yan smiled slightly, "All I can offer is money, but I'm afraid Miss Hase is not willing to accept it. So it's not what I can offer, but what you want."

"You are right, the alliance does not need your money, but apart from money, there is nothing you can do to help the alliance..." Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh, "It was you in the end. I really didn't expect that things would turn out that way..." It’s become such a hassle.”

Yang Yan is good, and he has achieved good results as a trainer and breeder, but at his current level, he is indeed not enough to be taken seriously by the Sinnoh Alliance, which has a vast land, abundant resources, and abundant talents.

Yang Yan was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Chang Gu's next words.

After thinking for a long time, Chang Gu finally couldn't think of a better solution. The most important thing was that she couldn't make the decision by herself.

If a certain second generation finally conquered Riolu, she would feel that it would be easier to talk about than it is now.

Yang Yan didn't have any family fortune in Sinnoh, so there was really little room for negotiation.

In the end, she had no choice but to say: "You probably won't leave Sinnoh in the past two days. In this case, give me your phone number and I will contact you after we have discussed it with the superiors."

Yang Yan nodded, "Yes, yes, but I have to say first that I won't be able to stay in Sinnoh for too long, no more than 3 months at most, and I will leave. I hope it won't be a troublesome matter that takes too much time."

"3 months? I'll consider it."

……

After confirming, both parties left here.

Changgu needs to contact his boss to report the results of the auction and report Yang Yan's matter.

Yang Yanze left the hotel with Qiu Yeyin Ling after returning.

His mission here has been completed, and there is no need to continue to get along with these second generations.

Quite uncomfortable.

Sitting in the car going back to Qiuye's villa.

Qiuye Yinling asked curiously: "Yang Yan, what did that woman say? What conditions did the alliance propose?"

"Maybe it's because I'm not a Sinnoh person and it's beyond her expectations. The conditions she originally thought of are not suitable for me, so she needs to go back and discuss it with the people above. She will tell me in two days." Yang Yan replied.

"That's it," Qiuye Yinling asked again, "Then what conditions do you think the alliance will propose?"

"I don't know either. Let's take it one step at a time. Who cares." Yang Yan spread his hands and said it didn't matter.

This question has been on his mind since he came out.

If the Sinnoh Alliance would respect the three-month time limit proposed by him, and combined with the past resume of "Yang Yan" that he could access, he believed that the most likely possibility would be to give him a more troublesome task.

Maybe it's like the time at Angry Lake, where it was inconvenient for locals to take action and they needed help from outsiders.

Of course, nothing is certain, and anything is possible until the other party calls.

"It's just that if this happens, I wonder if it will delay my return to Fengyuan..." Yang Yan thought silently.

Originally, he planned to return to Hoenn after dealing with the matter in Zhuqing City and return Fukuoka Nao's bones, but if the delay was too long and the situation in Carlos changed, he would have to change his route and go to Carlos first.

"It seems that we need to find an opportunity to go to the ruins to inquire about the situation. It would be great if we could find Gardevoir and the others..."

While Yang Yan was thinking about the next trip, he chatted with Qiu Ye Yin Ling and Ichijo.

Soon after, they returned to the villa.

It was getting late, so everyone went back to their rooms.

When passing by her brother Qiu Yefeng's room, she saw that there was still light inside. Qiuye Yinling smiled and pushed the door in, wanting to tell her brother about the interesting things that happened today.

……

In the room, Yang Yan took out Riolu's Poke Ball.

Before leaving the room, Hase handed him Riolu's Poké Ball.

He didn't have time to click on it on the way, and now he had time to study Riolu's data panel:

[Elf: Riolu]

[Attribute: Fighting]

[Gender: Male]

[Characteristic: Mental Power]

[Qualification: 30% (perfect)]

[Race value: 285]

[Strength: Level 24 (Elementary)]

[Skills: Flash of lightning, see through, double return, feint, exert force, imitate, harsh sound, heart's eye, kick, cross chop, vacuum wave, iron wall, bar throw, high-speed movement, mental hammer]

----

The first thing Yang Yan noticed was of course Riolu's qualifications. 30% was not high in the perfect level, and it was not as good as Thousand Faces Avoidance.

But the perfect grade is the perfect grade, and its rarity cannot be denied.

"I remember that one of the perfect qualification potions can improve the fighting type. I'll check later to see if I can exchange one for Riolu."

Next is Riolu's characteristic: mental power.

The effect of mental power is to prevent it from flinching from the opponent's attacks.

If you look at it this way, it seems useless, far less useful than the hidden characteristic of the Riolu clan - the mischievous heart.

But reality is not a game.

The mental strength is not as bad as imagined.

Not being able to flinch means that Riolu can muster the courage to fight even if he faces an opponent whose level is much higher than his own. This is very important for a fighting type that mainly attacks head-on.

Courage and perseverance are indispensable qualities in the fighting system.

Especially after Yang Yan saw the fossil pterosaur, he valued spiritual power more and more.

The specialness of Magnemite is only slightly worse than that of Fossil Pteranodon, but it still has a great impact, not to mention other Pokémon.

But if it were a Lucario of the same level, with the blessing of mental characteristics, he might perform even better than the self-destructing Magnemite.

Therefore, Yang Yan feels that this characteristic is very suitable for Riolu.

"The mental power characteristic is just like its name. It requires Pokémon to constantly exercise its spirit, so that the effect will become stronger and stronger."

"My meditation method will react to Riolu's waveguide. Could it be because its waveguide is mixed with spiritual power?" Yang Yan couldn't help but guess.

The scene that happened on the stage before was so strange that it was hard for Yang Yan not to think more about it.

"Find time to try it with Riolu again, and ask Riolu if he has any special feelings..."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Dakdo.

When he came back, he asked Qiuye Yinling. He felt that something similar to him might have happened to Dakdo, which was even more important to understand.

"This time I took Riolu away from Dakdo again. I'm afraid he has become more suspicious of me. I just don't know if he will test me next or even attack me directly..."
