Pokémon: The Climb

"Save people first!"

King Lucas held on to his last bit of strength, gave the last instruction, and then fainted.

He did his best and won the war under the sky. But he couldn't protect everyone. Even if all the main force is sacrificed, it is still beyond the capabilities.

But just after King Lucas fell, a faint colorful light suddenly gathered from all around.

Everyone looked up and heard Xerneas' empty and peaceful cry.

Little bits of light shone from it and drifted away in the wind.

The light merges into the earth, clearing away the traces left by Yveltal and re-injecting life into the place.

The young shoots of grass and trees burst out of the ground, and the fragrance overflows.

Xerneas' power is still strong, but Karuna and others can feel that Xerneas is no longer as relaxed as before. This proved that the battle with Yveltal was indeed very costly.

This is especially true when the survivors find that their recovery is particularly slow.

But fortunately, this life energy can still be used to stabilize everyone and Pokémon and prevent their injuries from worsening.

The hope of survival is a little higher.

The people below looked at Xerneas, but unfortunately, Xerneas did not look like he wanted to communicate. It's weaker now.

After clearing all the destructive energy here, Xerneas's figure slowly disappeared from sight...

"Let's work first." Karuna sighed.

Replenish energy, deal with injuries, and restore energy, all in an orderly manner.

During this period, all the non-military trainers chose to leave quietly. Some were worried about the military's attitude, some were discouraged, and some were ready to continue chasing their escaped Pokémon.

Yes, some of the Pokémon that had been eroded by the destructive energy and switched camps left with Yveltal.

If it weren't for this reason, more people and Pokémon would have died. Maybe the main forces of Kalunai and Pachira will not be saved.

"Karunai, are we going to chase those Pokémon? If it's too late, it will be hard to find the traces." Pachira suddenly asked.

You know, some of those Pokémon also belong to the military. Under normal circumstances, the military would not abandon their companions, but Karunai looked at the moment. Even if he was really found, would he have the strength to subdue him? In case of another sacrifice...

Besides, can it really be found? Once found, can we help him recover? There is too much uncertainty.

Therefore, rather than retrieving those Pokémon, Karuna is more interested in protecting the surviving people and Pokémon. After all, the road back to the city is not easy to walk. However, her thoughts cannot replace everyone's choices, so after thinking for a moment, she said: "Ask everyone's thoughts and see if anyone is willing to follow the footsteps of those people just now."

"Compared to this, I actually prefer that everyone just capture the wild Pokémon that ran away before. Although it will take some time to get used to it, the strength will not be compromised too much."

The Pokémon that Kaluna mentioned were the wild Pokémon on Xerneas' side that ran away when many Pokémon were suddenly eroded by destructive energy and turmoil broke out.

Those Pokémon are quite strong, and their talents have improved a lot under the power of Xerneas. What’s even more rare is that they are not exclusive of humans, and are Pokémon that are usually encountered but not sought after.

When Pachila heard this, she suddenly became enlightened.

"You are right, those Pokémon can completely make up for the Pokémon we lost. I will ask people to tally everyone's opinions!"

"Don't forget to arrange for people to search for the traces of King Bella and Yang Yan first!" Karunai emphasized.

Pachila stamped her feet, her face drooping.

King Lucas's main strength is exhausted, King Bella's life or death is unknown, and Yang Yan... probably has little hope of surviving. Can he be found?

……

"Cough cough!"

Yang Yan took a breath of cold air, "Hiss——"

His whole body seemed to be falling apart and he couldn't exert any strength. His hands were empty, nothing could be seen.

"Yak?"

Seeing Yang Yan wake up, Zoroark stopped and put Yang Yan down from his back.

"Thank you, Zoroark."

"By the way, where is this?"

After being helped by Zoroark to sit down, Yang Yan recalled everything that had happened before.

Combined with the gray sky around him, Yang Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Is it possible that I was led into a secret realm by Yveltal?"

"Yake!" Zoroark gave him a positive answer.

Zoroark obviously remembers more than Yang Yan.

Yangyan cooperated with Xerneas to attack Yveltal, causing Yveltal's injuries to become more and more serious. But Yveltal had lived for so many years, so of course it was impossible to kill him, and Zygarde wouldn't allow it either.

Therefore, in the end, the fight must have ended with Yveltal escaping successfully, but Yang Yan did not expect that Yveltal's escape turned out to be with the help of the secret realm.

But it makes sense to think about it. The war is over, and Yveltal will soon fall into sleep again. And isn't the place where it sleeps a certain secret realm?

At the same time, Yang Yan thought of the unknown totem A that he had met once.

"Is it possible that this is the secret realm connected to the independent space of unknown totem A... It doesn't look like it!"

After listening to the description of Unknown Totem A before, Yang Yan's impression of the secret realm he mentioned was the same as that of the weird secret realm. But now here, Yang Yan grabbed a handful of mud grass and said, "It seems that this place has not been completely eroded by the destructive energy. Correspondingly The vegetation has not been completely transformed..."

"Forget it, it's important to go back first!" Yang Yan lowered his head and tried to call, "Night Demon!"

Seeing the night demon slowly appearing, Yang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, Yang Yan was able to save his life thanks to Yveltal entering the secret realm.

Under the influence of the power of space, he was able to successfully separate from Yveltal without provoking his revenge.

All his memories were gone from the moment he entered the secret realm, so he was worried that the night demon was transported to other places in the secret realm, or even did not enter the secret realm at all. Fortunately, things weren't so bad.

"Where are the scabbards? How are they?"

Nightmare and Zoroark seemed fine, so Yang Yan naturally asked about the other Pokémon.

"Dark night——!"

"You sent it to evolve in the spirit world? That's okay!" Yang Yan said expectantly: "Now that the evolution is over, you can take it out and have a look. By the way, there are other ghost types, including crystal lanterns, fire spirits and Gengar ghosts. Bring them out too."

At this time, none of "Yang Yan's" Pokémon are around, and all he can rely on are ghost-types. To explore the secret realm and find the way back, the power of the ghost system is indispensable, so naturally you need to keep them with you.

Apart from the ghost type, the only Pokémon left in his hand is the unknown totem H attached to his wrist.

Therefore, after the night demon entered the spiritual world, he also called out the unknown totem H.
