Pokémon: The Climb

In the deep and secluded forest, black shadows flickered in the moonlight, and amid the howling wind, a faint smile could be heard.

Varner's nerves were extremely sharp and he immediately judged that there was someone nearby. But he couldn't be sure whether it was an enemy or whether it was directed at him.

The light in the cave flashed away, and then three slightly uncoordinated people walked out of the cave entrance, holding the elf ball tightly in their hands.

It was not released immediately because no one or Pokémon was found nearby. And he was worried that the light from the Poké Ball would reveal his position.

But before the three people could start investigating, their bodies suddenly froze in place, and the Poke Balls in their hands flew away under a strong force.

More than a dozen Poké Balls were flying up and down, revealing Gengar who did all this.

Yang Yan looked at the naughty Geng Gui and rarely spoke to knock him.

His eyes were focused on the three people opposite.

"Although I can't see clearly, your men's condition is much worse than last time, Varna!"

After the words fell, a burly figure with a solemn expression suddenly walked out of the shadows behind the three people at the entrance of the cave.

At the same time, the three people in front of him fell down at the same time.

It was not Gengar's hand, Varner took the initiative to end the lives of three of his men.

At this time, Varna's arrogant attitude was much restrained compared to the previous days, but he was still decisive in killing.

"Who are you and why do you know I'm here?"

This was Varna's first sentence after he appeared. Naturally, Yang Yan would not answer, but pointed behind him, "Stop hiding those people in the cave, let's call them out together!"

"What a trick! You are indeed a trainer who uses the ghost system!" Varner was not angry because his backhand was discovered. Instead, he applauded sincerely.

It’s not surprising that the ghost system has such means.

"Ghost trainer, I think I have never offended such a person. May I ask what is the purpose of your presence here?"

"Cooperation, or..."

Varner is not a reckless person. It is not time to take action until he has figured out the other party's intention.

Of course, this is also because there are too many ghosts around Yang Yan.

There are dozens of ghosts that can be seen, including many kings and quasi-kings. What about the ones who haven't appeared?

Varner believed that he had never encountered such a powerful ghost person. He was not completely confident that he and his newly "conquered" subordinates could defeat such a person.

Besides, even if you win, you will probably suffer heavy losses. And there is a high probability that he will no longer be able to participate in the subsequent events.

He is not willing to leave just now.

"Cooperate..." Yang Yan looked like he was thinking, "It's not impossible!"

As soon as these words came out, Varna's nervous heart suddenly relaxed a little. He smiled and said: "For a ghost trainer as powerful as you, if we join forces, we will definitely gain a lot from the rest of the journey!"

Not falling out immediately means that the other party is not his enemy, but Varner will not relax just now.

The ghost-type Pokémon is the best at sneak attacks. Varner also has an impression of the personalities of trainers who use the ghost type. He cannot rule out the possibility that the other party is deceiving him into letting down his guard.

His men already have all the Poké Balls in their hands and will open them all if something goes wrong.

"You are right, you will gain a lot by cooperating with me!"

Varner: "..."

This person really dares to say that, he is too arrogant!

"The prerequisite for cooperation is that both parties are equal in strength. For this, you are barely qualified!"

Varner: I can bear it!

But Yang Yan suddenly changed the subject.

"But why should I give you the advantage?"

"What do you want, your Excellency?" Varner's temper suddenly rose.

He couldn't tell that the other party was just playing tricks on him. As a powerful boss, Varner could not stand this anger.

The elf ball in his hand made a sizzling sound, and it was obvious that his patience was reaching its breaking point.

"What do I think?" Yang Yan glanced at the gesturing quasi-king Gengar emerging from the darkness on the right front, nodded, and then smiled: "That's what I think, of course!"

Yang Yan points forward with his right hand, this is a signal for battle!

Varna saw it instantly. He and his men behind him opened all the elf balls in their hands.

At the same time, a flash of light illuminated a corner of the night, then quickly extinguished and was covered by a violent explosion.

"Fuck me!" Varner yelled.

But compared to his momentum, the strength of the Pokémon that rushed up was really not worthy of it.

Varner himself didn't mention it, but many of his Pokémon were of intermediate or high-level strength. This was really refreshing to Yang Yan, who had experienced the "high-end" battlefield for several months.

He couldn't help but laugh, "I just thought it was a little strange, and the Pokémon I'm using now is so weak. Varna, it's rare that I wasted so much time on this, it's disappointing!"

His voice was not soft, but it did not reach Varner's ears.

Fighting blocks communication between the two sides.

But Yang Yan was indeed disappointed.

Just in case, he specially asked a few ghosts to set up nearby, fearing that Varner would find an opportunity to escape if the battle lasted too long.

There is no need to doubt that Varner has such means.

In addition, Yang Yan knew in advance that Varna had a group of subordinates, so he should be more careful.

Who would have thought that the strength of these subordinates would be so "unbearable"!

Not only was the strength of the Pokémon used, but their condition was also even worse.

"The mood is still so calm. Could it be that Varna has more than one way to control people?" Yang Yan boldly guessed.

Of course, Varner himself needs to tell the truth.

And it won't be long...

"Let this battle end soon, Zoroark!" Yang Yan slowly threw a strange-looking elf ball.

That's the ancient Poké Ball containing Zoroark!

In an instant, a "King" appeared on the battlefield.

"Quasi champion?!" Varner was horrified.

Yang Yan's ghost type was already difficult to deal with just because of their numbers. Unexpectedly, there was a quasi-champion in the hole, which made his mood fall to the bottom in an instant.

His Pokémon were falling in droves, and although his own Pokémon were still holding on, it was only a matter of time before the would-be champion showed up.

The gap in strength between the king and the would-be champion needs no introduction.

And Zoroark did not "disappoint" Varner. In less than 5 rounds, he solved one of his king-level enemies.

The balance of the battlefield was completely tilted, and Varner thought about the possibility of escape.

"Damn, this guy came out of nowhere!"

Val really didn't understand when he was targeted by such a powerful trainer.

But he had no time to think about it, or even to beg for mercy, because he felt the killing intent emanating from his opponent.

Begging for mercy is a dead end.

Less than 5 minutes after Zoroark took action, Varner's side collapsed. Seeing Zoroark approaching, Varner threw out a Poké Ball without hesitation.

"Psychic earth puppet, teleport!"

The words were finished, but... there was no movement!

"how come?!"

With an incredible roar, a pair of pitch-black claws grabbed Varna's throat.

Varner finally saw only a pair of scarlet eyes, and then lost consciousness...
