Pokémon: The Climb

The cold wind blew up the sand and dust, but surprisingly there was no chill.

"My lord, are you really willing to let us go?"

"Why, do I need to trick you?" Yang Yan snorted coldly, "You will disappear from my eyes in three minutes. If you don't want to leave, you don't have to leave!"

It was finally determined that Yang Yan was really not prepared to kill everyone, and the members of Team Plasma who had finally survived after paying for their lives immediately dispersed.

Only a few people supported the old man Asura and hurried away.

Those who have a passenger Pokémon use Pokémon, and those who don’t have to rely on their own two legs.

Yes, Yang Yan did not confiscate all these people's Pokémon. Mainly because he didn't have time to deal with it once he got it.

The underground market in the Unova region is not as easy to find as in other regions. Besides, the strength of Pokémon for ordinary members of Team Plasma is not high, similar to that in other regions.

Compared with an entire stronghold, there is no need to hold on to this small profit.

"Let's go and get on with the business, I'm afraid we don't have much time left!" Yang Yan called all the ghosts to return.

Gengar flew around mischievously, as if asking Yang Yan why he let those people go. Isn't this inconsistent with his usual style?

Yang Yan smiled, "Okay Gengar, leave them alone!"

The main reason why he didn't kill all those people was because he didn't want to form a deadly feud with Team Plasma yet.

Being taken away from a stronghold and losing a lot of property, Team Plasma suffered a lot of losses, but not to the point of breaking their muscles and bones.

If Quechis wasn't too incompetent, he would understand why he let those people go.

Ordinary team members may not care, but Asura, one of the Seven Wise Men, must not be moved. Otherwise, to the underground organization that values ​​face, not taking revenge would be unjustifiable.

But Yang Yan didn't want to face the endless harassment from the plasma group. Although it is unlikely that the other party will find him, what if he does?

The most important point is that Yang Yan does not want to interfere too much with the original plot. Wouldn't it be nice to just sit back and watch Team Plasma reach the finish line? Why should I get involved in such a thankless way?

Therefore, one stronghold is the limit. Before Team Plasma was destroyed, Yang Yan was not going to cause any more trouble for them.

He carefully dismantled various research equipment and ordered the ghost department to move them all to independent spaces.

"The level of science and technology in Hezhong is very high. There are some instruments that you can't buy in other areas even if you have money. It's a huge profit!" Yang Yan's lips lit up with joy.

Yang Yan had already dealt with everything in the independent space before leaving Carlos. As a result, within a few days of coming to Hezhong, it was almost filled again.

If it hadn't been on the battlefield, the unknown totem had absorbed a lot of space power and fairy energy, expanding the independent space, and it might have been really stretched. After all, there is no way to pile up things like instruments.

Yang Yan did not let go of the supplies and materials hoarded in the warehouse, no matter how valuable they were.

If you send it to the Fairy Secret Realm, everything will be useful.

Although many of the captured wild Pokémon became "defective" due to experiments, they were also transferred by Yang Yan. Just expand the ecosystem.

Of course, before sending them over, Yang Yan roughly checked their data panels and found no "successfully transformed" individuals like Big Steel Snake among them.

Thinking about it, if such a Pokémon really existed, it would have been moved away long ago, and it would not be placed with the "defective products".

"Speaking of that old man Asura, he doesn't have much ability as a trainer, but his research on poison-type Pokémon is quite good. If the information in his hand is handed over to an ordinary trainer who can understand it, he can train several poison-type Pokémon. It's really not a problem for specialized masters to come out. It's a pity that I can't use them. They can only be used to fill in the background..." Yang Yan, who had almost emptied the stronghold, took the time to look through the things in the Asura space ring. Said with a hint of regret.

Although he was still young, Yang Yan did not have the energy to follow Asura's research and cultivate a group of poison-type Pokémon. At most, it borrows part of the content to improve the poison abilities of Nidoking, Crossbat and Gengar, that's all.

After dawn, when Team Plasma reorganized their manpower and returned, they looked at the almost empty stronghold and could only leave a few words of resentment...

Yang Yan was in a good mood. After meditating for a while under an unknown valley, he continued to move forward with a smile.

"I've been delayed for two days. I hope my parents won't be angry."

"Storm Dragon, let's fly to Higaki City in one go!"

……

It was said that it was just one breath, but in fact it still took Yang Yan two days and non-stop to reach the destination.

Higaki City is the city where Hezhong will host the alliance conference this year.

The location is near Shuanglong City, not far from the headquarters of the United Alliance.

All the people who signed up for the gym leader assessment are in this city.

"It looks quite lively!" Yang Yan, who was asked to come down from the outskirts of the city and slowly walked into the city, commented on the scenery along the way.

The gym leader assessment is not conducted in secret. Many people know that the first assessment is held at the Alliance Conference venue.

Therefore, the merchants who arrived in Higaki City for the Alliance Conference chose to stay temporarily and continue doing business.

Not only are Hezhong’s specialty products, as Yang Yan walked down the street, he also heard the familiar accent from his hometown and saw mobile stalls selling Fengyuan specialties.

Not only Fengyuan, but also products from almost every region were soon discovered by Yang Yan.

"Because the gym leader assessment is conducted uniformly in all regions, businessmen from all over the world have gathered here, right? It's a rare sight!"

There are alliance conferences all over the country, so not many businesses choose to go all the way to do business at foreign conferences. These people probably came recently.

But unfortunately, there were not many tourists on the street. After Yang Yan asked, he found out that now was the first round of the gym leader assessment - the battle assessment, which was in full swing.

The vast majority of people are in the audience stage of the venue at the moment. The streets will not really become lively until the battle is over and people come out.

"I didn't expect that the assessment has already started?"

Yang Yan was a little surprised because neither his parents had urged him.

But if you think about it, you can understand that the assessment of the gym leader is different from the competition. You only need to win the battle along the way.

The entire assessment consists of three rounds and lasts for half a year. So it doesn't matter if it's a day or two late.

What is currently being conducted in the venue is the first round of assessment - the battle assessment, also called the strength assessment, which tests the combat capabilities of the applicants.

Although Yang Yan arrived late and could not go in to watch the scene, Yang Yan could also understand the situation in the venue through the various large screens used to broadcast the alliance conference outside the venue.

"More than ten competition venues are being held at the same time, and there are a lot of people signing up!" Yang Yan sighed.

Although the hall master assessment is held once every three years, because it is basically held in all regions at the same time, the number of people is still considerable. The total number is not much less than the alliance conference because of higher strength requirements.

In addition, each game is still a 6V6 all-out battle. After all, there may not be a few winners and losers throughout the whole day.

Dad didn’t push him, maybe it was just because he wasn’t scheduled for the game at all…
