Pokémon: The Climb

Taking the cursed doll with him, Yang Yan returned to where he started.

Let the cursed doll lead the way, Yang Yan went all the way to his destination.

The cave is located in the middle of the rocky area. It won't be possible to get there in a short time. There are countless Pokémon blocking the way.

Fortunately, these Pokémon that had been eroded by the destructive energy were attracted by the frontal battlefield and were moving forward. As more and more Pokémon are killed in battle, the distribution of Pokémon in the rear will definitely become more and more sparse, and the possibility of Yangyan touching them will become greater and greater.

Of course, we don’t rule out being discovered by Pokémon during the process.

"If Roy and those people hadn't moved, maybe we could have met them on the way there!" Thinking of this, Yang Yan suddenly looked forward to it.

In order to avoid being discovered as much as possible, Yang Yan had to put away most of the Pokémon and use the terrain to move slowly.

"Absol, Heiluga, it's up to you two now. You must pay attention to the movements around you. We must not collide with a large number of Pokémon!"

The two Pokémon were not even as big as Yang Yan, so they had little purpose when acting together.

At the same time, Yang Yan also asked the Crossed Bat, the Iron-faced Ninja, the Thousand-faced Refugee, and the Mahuola to guard the left and right and monitor the front.

It is basically guaranteed that you will not be discovered without encountering a large number of Pokémon.

The cursed doll is responsible for identifying directions.

Although the path Yang Yan took was not the one he took when the cursed doll came out, fortunately he still remembered the general direction.

Coupled with its racial ability as a ghost, it is not difficult to find a mountain cave.

The bumpy mountain road was not easy to walk, and Yang Yan moved forward very slowly. Until nightfall, he was still on the outskirts of the entire area.

At this rate, it will take at least two or three days to reach the destination.

"The day lilies have been cold for two or three days. No, we have to travel at night!" Yang Yan had dry food in one hand and water in the other, and continued to explore while eating.

Without the use of lights, Yang Yan moved even slower with only the weak moonlight.

But the benefits are not without them. Not long after they moved forward, Yang Yan noticed that these Pokémon didn't move anymore.

"Two or three days have passed, and the impact of the explosion has probably dissipated."

"No more action at night, maybe there is a tacit understanding with the Pokémon on Xerneas' side..."

No matter which side it is, it cannot bear the war that continues 24 hours a day.

It was only a matter of time before the battlefield returned to basic rules, and Yang Yan was not surprised.

However, the reappearance of the crystal lantern fire spirit made Yang Yan extremely happy.

He quickly told the crystal lantern spirit the news he got from the cursed doll, and ordered: "Time is running out now, let go of the ghosts caught during the day, and find Gengar and the others first!"

His right hand swept across the front, "These wild Pokémon are basically resting now. Crystal Lamp Spirit, I need you to bring some ghost types to clean up the Pokémon in that area."

"Be careful, your movements must be clean, and you must not be discovered!"

Yang Yan's warning was actually just a dispensable reminder. Crystal Lantern Fire Spirit and other ghosts were good at sneak attacks, so it was not difficult for them.

By clearing away the wild Pokémon nearby, Yang Yan doesn't have to be particularly careful, and his speed can be increased a lot.

The crystal lantern fire spirit brought a group of ghosts away from the spiritual world. They will clear the obstacles on the road together with the Crossbat, Iron Mask Ninja, Thousand Faces Avoidance and Mahuola who are already outside.

This goes on until dawn.

Yang Yan glanced at the time, yawned, and whispered: "It's almost time. These Pokémon will be leaving soon. Heiluga, go call the Crystal Lanterns and the Fire Spirits back!"

When all the Pokémon returned, Yang Yan left the unknown totem hidden under a boulder, and he and the other Pokémon returned to the independent space to pay attention.

It wasn't until 5 hours later that Yang Yan, who hurriedly woke up from sleep, continued to move forward.

But this time, he was not so lucky. Less than half an hour after setting off, Absolu and Heiluga issued warnings at the same time, and even Yang Yan sensed something.

"Is it a King-level Pokémon?!"

"It seems that I have left the periphery and entered the center. I need to be more careful!"

The further you go, the more and more powerful Pokémon you will encounter, so Yang Yan must be more cautious. Otherwise, if you are discovered, you will be besieged. Even if you can escape, you will have to shed at least a layer of skin.

After thinking briefly, Yang Yan decided to bypass the Heavenly King class that had not yet appeared in front of him.

Although according to the inference, this should be just a Pokémon that has just entered the King-level, and it is no problem for your own Pokémon to take care of it, but the King-level is not an ordinary Pokémon that can be killed with one hit. Once you do it, Too much movement can easily attract the attention of other Pokémon, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Although taking a detour will waste time, it is safer.

Not long after, Yang Yan encountered a King-level creature again. He had to continue his detour.

"There are too many Heavenly Kings, why haven't they reached the front line yet..." Yang Yan was speechless.

The war has already begun, and there are even king-level ones staying behind. Aren't these Pokémon impulsive to kill? How could this happen...Yang Yan couldn't understand.

But it's not without any benefit.

He will encounter the King-level, and Roy and the others will most likely encounter them as well. Maybe Roy and the others are further away from the mountain cave than themselves.

If that's the case, Yang Yan doesn't mind coming and waiting.

Time passed slowly. Relying on the investigative skills he has honed over many years, Yang Yan avoided wave after wave of dangers and finally arrived at the area mentioned by the cursed doll around 3 a.m.

"Is this right here?" Yang Yan pointed to the bottom of the hillside.

The cursed doll nodded firmly.

Yang Yan then continued to look down. It was said to be a hillside, but Yang Yan felt that the slope was very close to a vertical cliff.

One of the entrances to the cave is in the cliff.

Yang Yan was very familiar with the cliff, so there was no problem in going down.

Grabbing the Crossed Bat and relying on ultrasonic waves, he quickly found a narrow hole in the cliff.

Yang Yan checked at the entrance of the cave to make sure there were human traces and that there were no traps, then he slowly walked in with the Pokémon.

Although he didn't feel any light inside, he couldn't be sure if there was anyone inside, so he needed to touch in more carefully.

After passing a narrow corridor, the internal space gradually became larger. Soon, Yang Yan stood beside a burning bonfire and was speechless for a while.

"There's no one..."

As a self-proclaimed wilderness survival master, Yang Yan was certain that no one would be living in this place for at least three or four days.

But judging from the tents and other living materials left nearby, it seems that the people living here have not abandoned this camp.

"Roy and the others are actually slower than me. It seems I can give them a good surprise..."
