Pokémon: The Climb

When Yang Yan was following the crowd, waiting in line to get on the bus, a hurried figure suddenly passed behind him.

Yang Yan turned around and found that this man was running in the direction of the train conductor.

The train conductor also noticed this person, so he stopped and waited for the person to come over.

The man ran to the conductor and said a few words in his ear. Yang Yan noticed that before the man finished speaking, the conductor's face instantly changed color and he began to ask the man What are you wearing?

In a panic, the man finally summarized the matter, but what he didn't expect was a big slap from the conductor.

The man covered his red cheeks and kept apologizing, but the conductor seemed to know that getting angry with this man wouldn't make things any better, so he angrily walked forward.

Yang Yan has been watching this scene quietly.

"The matter is indeed not over yet," Yang Yan muttered in his heart: "I just don't know what happened. Is it related to the missing trainers..."

But he also knew that even if something happened, it had nothing to do with him.

Soon, Yang Yan got in the car again.

"Huh? Why are there so many people missing?"

As soon as he got on the bus, Yang Yan found that there were about 30% fewer people sitting in the seats than before. Among them were not only the trainers who had not returned, but also the man sitting next to him before.

Looking around, Yang Yan also discovered that the people who were not there were the people wearing black hats that he had noticed before.

"Hello, I would like to ask, weren't there a lot of people here before? Why do you feel like there are so few people?"

Yang Yan asked a staff member on the side who was maintaining order.

The man showed a professional smile and said to Yang Yan: "It's like this. Some customers couldn't stand it and thought the waiting time was too long, so they got out of the car and left."

"Get out of the car and go by yourself?" Yang Yan frowned, but soon he laughed: "So that's the case, thank you for letting me know."

"You're welcome," the staff member continued, "Please return to your seat and sit tight. The train will start soon."

Yang Yan thanked him and returned to his seat.

"Leaved by yourself?" Yang Yan sneered in his heart as he walked away: "Are you really fooling me?"

"But it seems that what the man reported to the conductor before is probably related to these people wearing black hats..."

Looking out the window, Yang Yan felt that the train was slowly starting.

"Forget it, why are you thinking so much? Even if there is any conspiracy, it has nothing to do with me as a new trainer. I just need to get my share of the reward."

……

This time, the train didn't have any problems along the way and arrived at the station in Chenghua City smoothly.

As soon as he got off the car, Yang Yan heard Shoya's loud voice.

"Yang Yan!"

Shoya yelled while also running towards Yang Yan.

"Yangyan, look, let's go to the mission hall to get our rewards first?" Shoya couldn't wait.

"Yes, it just so happens that I haven't been to the mission hall yet, so I can also learn about it. After all, we will hang out there often in the future."

Shoya laughed: "Yang Yan, it turns out you haven't been there either. My dad didn't let me go there before. I thought I was the only one who hadn't been there."

Yang Yan smiled: "There are no Pokémon, why go there?"

"Of course I want to know it in advance, but you don't know..."

……

The two of them walked out of the station while talking.

Chenghua City is indeed a city with a gym. After decades of construction, it has become quite prosperous.

Rows of shops surround both sides of the street, with people coming and going, each walking around with Pokémon. From time to time, you can see some street performers performing with Pokémon.

It seemed very peaceful and lively.

"Yang Yan, hurry up, don't be so slow."

For a lively and active person like Shoya, he has already become familiar with the main roads and landmarks of Chenghua City.

When Yang Yan was about to open the map and find the direction, General was already walking directly in front to lead the way.

Chenghua City is still relatively large, but the mission hall is not far from the station.

The two of them only walked for about twenty minutes before arriving at the door of the mission hall.

"As expected of the mission hall, there are so many people!" Shoya sighed.

Compared with some shops we passed by before, the mission hall is not only much bigger, but also very stylishly designed.

A passing trainer looked at Shoya in a funny way, as if to say: Where did this bumpkin come from?

Fortunately, Shoya's attention was drawn away and he didn't notice that person. Otherwise, given Shoya's temper, Yang Yan would have been able to imagine what would happen next.

When they walked into the hall, they saw many trainers here. Some of them were asking about tasks, some were chatting with people, and some were making transactions.

It seems to be even more lively than outside.

"Yang Yan, look at that sign over there!"

Yang Yan followed the direction pointed by General and found that it was really the place where they were supposed to receive the reward for the mission.

There were many people like them who came to get paid, so they had to start queuing again.

……

"Name: Omu Yohiko; Pokémon: Baddie; Strength: Elementary. Complete a medium-sized event once. Okay, the verification is completed, your reward has been sent to your card, please keep it."

Yang Yan took the ID card and bank card from the alliance staff member.

At this time, a text message was sent to Yang Yan's mobile phone. When he opened it, it showed that 800 yuan had been credited to his bank card.

To be honest, this number was a bit low, but he felt that he was just scratching the surface, and the 800 yuan was actually not much different from taking it for free, so he thought it was okay.

"Yang Yan, how much did you get?" Shoya asked impatiently as soon as he finished.

"My word is 800 yuan."

"What?" Shoya opened his eyes wide: "Why do I only have 500? It's not fair, I'm going to find them!"

Yang Yan grabbed General and said, "What's wrong? You're just a novice trainer. Why is 500 missing? You have to know that my Bada Die is a junior trainer. I can't even get enough of 800." "

"But...! Well, it seems that I should take on more solo missions in the future, as those will pay more."

The rewards for individual and group tasks are different. Generally speaking, the rewards for solo and short-term tasks are relatively high, while the rewards for group tasks and some long-term tasks are relatively low.

"Let's go over there and have a look. That seems to be the place where we receive the mission."

Shoya is indeed a hot-blooded young man. After thinking about the unpleasantness just now, he quickly forgot about it.

"Yeah! I can't wait to see what kind of tasks there will be here."

Yang Yan is also full of expectations for what will happen next.
