Pokémon: The Climb

"Is it around here?" Yang Yan, or "You", faintly swept across the featureless sand below.

"Yes, sir, I remember this is here!"

"Sir, we have arrived. Can you let us down?"

"Sir, we will help you contact the people in the stronghold and open the channel!"

The three Team Plasma minions captured by Yang Yan spoke one after another.

Yang Yan arrested many people in Newt City, but he did not hand over these three people. The main reason is that they are worried that Team Plasma will be alerted and evacuate from their original stronghold.

That's not good.

It will delay your search plan.

On the contrary, keeping them on hand temporarily can avoid this situation and use their identities to confuse Team Plasma members in the stronghold.

The place where he is currently is the closest and largest stronghold to Newt City that the three of them know.

The exact location of the stronghold is in the wilderness scenic area north of Feiyun City and Newt City, which is the vast desert beneath his feet.

"Clay giant, send them down!" Yang Yan waved his hand and agreed to the three people's request.

After returning to the ground, the three of them were so excited that they almost cried. The feeling of being pinched by a giant clay doll is really unpleasant!

However, the three of them knew that they were not out of danger yet, so they were happy and soon began to carry out what Yang Yan told them.

The three people looked at each other and communicated with their eyes. During this period, they also paid attention to the movements of their heads from time to time.

After realizing that Yang Yan neither urged nor made any other moves, the tension in his heart suddenly relaxed a lot.

The three people followed Team Plasma's usual communication method and successfully allowed people in the stronghold to open the underground passage into the interior.

"Sir, the door is open!" The three people waved and shouted.

"Go down!" Yang Yan patted the giant clay doll under him.

"You guys go first!" Yang Yan turned around and said before entering.

"How cautious!"

The expressions on the three people's faces flashed a little unnaturally, and the person on the left even muttered something secretly.

With their lives in someone else's hands, the three of them had no choice but to step forward and clear the way.

All the way down.

There are lights on the metal walls, so you can see clearly.

Although he has not yet learned what this stronghold is for, just looking at the internal structure, Yang Yan knows that the three of them have not fooled him. This stronghold indeed seems to have taken a lot of effort to build.

Tap tap tap tap——

Only the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty passage, and Yang Yan's relaxed state seemed like he was strolling through his own back garden.

At this moment, a sound of a mechanism sounded, and the three guys in front of Yang Yan disappeared at the same time.

The change was so fast, it seemed like it had been tried many times.

But the strange thing is that even if another alloy wall was lowered in front of and behind him, completely sealing him in the corridor, Yang Yan's expression remained unchanged.

"Is this the welcome ceremony for your Plasma team? It's not very thoughtful!" Yang Yan shook his head in disappointment.

As soon as he finished speaking, the four corners of the wall opened at the same time, and the machine gun-like barrel was lowered, aiming straight at Yang Yan in the middle.

But just when the gun barrel was about to fire, an explosion suddenly occurred!

Then, Gengar flew out of the smoke.

At the same time, the front and rear doors corroded and melted as if sulfuric acid had been poured on them.

"Bah, bang, bang—" applause rang out.

"Since your Excellency guessed that the operation has been exposed, you still dare to come down. Should you say that you underestimate our Plasma team, or are you a brave person?"

Yang Yan turned around and saw an old man wearing a robe with a pattern representing Team Plasma.

He wore a high barrel hat and a thick white beard. He did not have the twilight feeling common among the elderly, but was in high spirits.

There were people standing behind the old man, and their Pokémon blocked almost every space on the road.

At the same time, there were noisy footsteps in the direction leading inside the stronghold. The leader was a half-masked muscular man with yellow hair.

"Are you the person in charge of this stronghold? Judging from the underground forces I have come into contact with before, your strength is not bad! There are king-level masters!" Yang Yan also applauded and praised.

He didn't say this sarcastically. The strength displayed by Team Plasma in front of him can indeed be ranked among the various forces he encountered.

Yang Yan thought that he had arrived very quickly. If it weren't for the fact that there happened to be a King-class left behind in the stronghold, it could only mean that Team Plasma's information monitoring of internal personnel was more adequate than he imagined, and the mobilization efficiency was also ridiculously fast. .

"It's all calculated, but in just one day, so many people were summoned to deal with me. Did you receive the message from those three guys?"

"Although I had guessed that they might have some tricks or even indulge in some indulgences, you guys came so fast!"

"Team Plasma deserves its reputation!"

The old man saluted slightly, "Thank you for the compliment."

"Before taking action, I have a question."

Yang Yan stretched out his hand, "Please tell me!"

"As expected, you must have just come to the He area, but it seems that you don't know anything about our Plasma team. If that's the case, why do you still go against us even though you know it?"

"This is a good question, but... I refuse to answer!"

"Really? Then it seems that I can only capture you first and then let you speak!" The old man opened the elf ball in his hand with a little regret.

"Bilushigu Mushroom, King Centipede, go!"

At the same time, other members of Team Plasma also ordered their Pokémon to attack.

Both before and after!

Yang Yan put his feet on the ground, "Come out and play!"

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The shadow under his feet swayed slightly, and before he was about to be overwhelmed by various skills, powerful auras appeared around Yang Yan.

"Then-?!"

Before the old man felt it, he saw Yang Yan, who was safe and sound behind the dust, and many ghost types who were preparing to launch a counterattack.

"what--!"

Suddenly, continuous screams came from behind, and the old man almost understood what happened without even looking.

"Damn it, this time I kicked the iron plate!"

"This guy looks so young, but he can possess so many powerful ghost elements. We are not prepared enough. Retreat, retreat immediately!"

When he noticed the aura of the Peak King appearing, the old man knew that this battle could not continue.

Taking advantage of the fact that the battle has just begun and our side has a numerical advantage, retreating as early as possible is the only way to survive.

Otherwise, even if he accidentally loses this stronghold, he may not be able to leave safely.

"Want to leave? Don't you think it's too late? Do you think I just talked nonsense to you for fun?!" Yang Yan clapped his hands and sneered: "Come on, don't let anyone run away!"

As soon as the order was given, screams came one after another. I don’t know how many trainers died.

The many Pokémon who lost their command suddenly became restless.

Whether others want to withdraw or fight, they have lost their best opportunity...
