Pokémon: The Climb

After careful inspection, Yang Yan was basically sure that there were five people living here.

And among these 5 people, at least one of them uses a ground or rock type Pokémon.

"That's a lot of people..." Yang Yan touched his chin, thinking about the reasons that caused people like Roy, whose sanity had been eroded, to regain their self-awareness.

"Is it the power of Yveltal?"

"Or... the extremes of things... must be reversed?"

The former is easy to understand. The destructive energy comes from Yveltal, and it wants to "wake up" the eroded people. In principle, there is no problem.

The latter is a bit more fantasy. Destructive energy and life energy are both opposites and inclusive of each other.

Life and death are natural cycles. If someone like Roy absorbs too much destructive energy and regains a new life from death, in Yang Yan's view, it is not particularly difficult to understand.

"But to achieve this condition, it is definitely not possible to rely solely on destructive energy of 'normal quality'. Maybe, in the end, it has something to do with Yveltal..."

As he spoke, Yang Yan slowly turned his gaze to the depths of darkness.

That's the direction the Cursed Doll came out from, and it's also the area where the underground river that Gengar and the others discovered flows.

If you go deeper along the underground river, you will most likely find Gengar and the others.

Of course, it is also possible to discover other things, such as Yveltal...

Yes, Yang Yan believes that Yveltal may still be deep underground!

Whether it's Roy and others, or Geng Gui, the situation is inconsistent with common sense.

If "accidental" happens twice, it is no longer "accidental". Yang Yan's sixth sense tells him that there must be something underneath.

But before going down, Yang Yan needs to consider whether to stay here and wait for Roy and the others to come back.

Roy has nothing to fear, unless he has conquered a large number of ghosts in the past two days. But the probability is too low.

If Roy came back alone, he would definitely have thrown himself into a trap, but if five people came back together... that would be a bit confusing.

Yang Yan had reason to suspect that the other four people were no worse than Roy. Otherwise, with Roy's current character, it would be difficult for him to believe that Roy would "peacefully coexist" with these people.

"Five 'Roy's, that's a bit scary. I'm afraid I can't win with my current strength..."

It was a good plan to wait and see, but the plan never changed quickly. Who knew that Roy's companions would not be 2, but 4.

No matter how arrogant Yang Yan is, he will never think that he can defeat so many people.

Of course, there is no chance at all. The minimum prerequisite is to recover half of the ghost army that Gengar took away.

"The time is too short. It would be great if I could catch more Pokémon with intimidation characteristics above the King level..." Yang Yan sighed slightly.

Since it is not advisable to wait and see, Yang Yan will not stay here longer.

Let the Cursed Doll continue to lead the way, and we will wait until we find Gengar and the others.

In order to prevent Roy and others from knowing that he had arrived earlier, Yang Yan carefully removed all traces.

He didn't even leave a single Pokémon to watch. After all, Roy is also good at ghosts.

All the way down the underground river, the air became more and more humid, and the temperature gradually dropped below zero. Coupled with the strong smell of destructive energy, Yang Yan was tortured to the point of "wanting to die."

The underground space extends in all directions, and there is not just one underground river. If it weren't for the cursed doll guiding him, Yang Yan might have been lost long ago.

But even if there is a cursed doll, it can only remember where it was after being eroded by the destructive energy. If it wants to find Gengar and the others later, it will have to spend time searching one by one.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Yan, wearing a winter coat and yawning, finally arrived at his destination.

"Curse doll, you did a good job!" Yang Yan said suddenly as he looked at the dug holes.

The cursed doll was finally relieved after being praised, knowing that Yang Yan would no longer hold him responsible for leaving the team.

Yang Yan checked the walls everywhere and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that most of the ore had been dug out.

"Finally we're here!" After reaching this point, Yang Yan didn't sleep for almost a day and a night.

After letting the crystal lamp fire spirit and the ghost system take this place as the center of the circle to look for traces of Gengar and the others, Yang Yan hurriedly returned to his independent space to rest.

It is not difficult for the Crystal Lantern Fire Spirit to follow the digging traces left by Gengar and the others and find their direction.

By the way, you can also look for other Pokémon that left the team but did not leave after being eroded by the destructive energy.

The only thing that needs to be worried is that the ghosts need to be careful not to be eroded by this rich destructive energy.

Time passes slowly.

In a daze, Yang Yan was shaken awake.

With his sleepy eyes open, Yang Yan glanced at the time and looked at the Flame Chicken who woke him up, and asked: "The time has not come yet, wake me up now. Have you discovered Gengar and the others?"

At this time, the crystal lamp Huoling who was responsible for the search flew over and told Yang Yan what he had discovered in the past few hours.

For a long time,

"Is that so..." Yang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, absorbing the news from the crystal lantern fire spirit.

"Come on, take me to see it!"

Leaving the independent space, Yang Yan followed the crystal lamp fire spirit into a branch road.

About half an hour later, Yang Yan stood in front of a stone wall, silent.

Only the sound of water dripping from overhead continued.

Yang Yan scanned all the murals and finally determined that this mural was made by ancient people. It describes a dark and bloody sacrificial process.

Yang Yan couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy when he suddenly discovered ancient ruins.

Because he cares more about the news about Gengar and the others than the ruins.

According to the description of the Crystal Lantern, there are traces of excavation along the murals.

Obviously, it was left behind by Gengar and the others.

The road in front of the mural is blocked by rocks, and the rock formations are very thick. If it weren't for the ghost type who could ignore the terrain, it would be difficult for Yang Yan himself to notice that he could continue on this path.

Throwing an elf ball, "Rumble Rock, destroy this rock!"

The rumbling and shattering sounds continued, and after a while, a road that had been covered in dust for an unknown amount of time was reopened.

The underground river at your feet can continue to move forward. Although the water flow here is already very small.

About a hundred meters forward, Yang Yan discovered another mural.

However, this mural is in dilapidated condition and nothing can be seen.

But the existence of new murals can prove that the murals just now are not accidental, and the ancients did do something here.

"Carving murals in mineral veins..."

"No, maybe at that time, these ores had not yet formed."

Carving murals inside the mountain..."

"No...that's not right. Since the veins may not have been formed, the rock formations above our heads may not exist either!"

Yang Yan moved forward, making guesses and overturning his guesses.

And the deeper he went, the more solemn the haze between his brows became...
