Pokémon: The Climb

When we returned to the venue, it was getting late. Some people were already tired or hungry, so they chose to leave the venue.

Yang Yan looked at the situation and called his mother. He learned that his father had no competition, so he asked the two of them to go out for dinner.

He had already booked a restaurant on the way here.

Although free food is provided in the contestant village, it is definitely not as delicious as the food cooked outside.

I haven’t seen each other for a long time, so of course I want to find a place to catch up with my parents.

after awhile.

"Mom and Dad, look here!" Yang Yan waved his right hand and ran towards the two of them at the same time.

"It's been a long time, dad. You look stronger now than when you were a ranger. It seems you had a good trip!"

"Mom, you look much better than in the photo. It's really the right thing to go out for a walk!"

"You kid, you're even more in shape than when you were a kid!" Omu Yong laughed.

"Xiaoyan, it's hard to travel abroad!"

Compared to dad's casualness, mom's eyes were a little more worried and longing.

Although she had already heard Yang Yan talk about his experiences during this period of time over the phone, and knew that although Yang Yan had a difficult life, nothing really happened, but when she actually saw her son standing in front of her, it was still hard for Reiko not to be moved.

"Okay Mom," Yang Yan took his mother's hand and said with a smile: "What happened before is in the past. It's not easy for the family to reunite. You don't plan to make the scene so sad, do you? It's not good to be happy. ?"

"Okay, okay, don't mention those bad things!" Reiko's gentle eyes were finally replaced by happiness.

"It's a long-awaited reunion dinner, let's go, Mom and Dad, let's have a good time!"

……

In a certain exquisite yet relaxed private room, Yang Yan and his father were drinking and chatting.

"That's almost enough. You and your son don't drink alcohol to begin with. So do you. Didn't you say that there is a game tomorrow and you have to prepare well, but now you have forgotten everything?" Reiko couldn't help but complain, and even grabbed Omu Yuu's hand. Bottle at hand.

"Aren't I happy to see my son? I only had two drinks, so it's not too bad!"

He said this, but in fact Omu Yong's face was indeed red.

Because of the special nature of the job of a forest ranger, in Yang Yan's memory, he never saw his father drinking.

This time, the mood came. Yang Yan was willing to accompany his father to be happy, so he ordered a bottle of wine with a low alcohol content. Unexpectedly, his father could not even hold back the wine.

Seeing that Reiko still didn't want to let go, Da MuYong had no choice but to give up.

"Okay, okay, no more drinking, no more drinking, I can just eat vegetables!"

Yang Yan smiled and said: "Mom, you don't have to worry too much. Although I can't play for dad tomorrow, I can still make suggestions and give guidance on tactics. There will be no problem!"

"What Xiaoyan is saying is that your son is much better than me now. All my opponents combined are probably not enough to beat him alone. With Xiaoyan's help, you can rest assured!" Omu Yong said quite confidently. smiled.

I don’t know if he was drunk. Under normal circumstances, my father would not say such things. But it doesn't matter, Yang Yan is very confident in himself.

"Okay, you two can just discuss it. If you really lose, don't make excuses then!" Reiko finally relented.

……

Enjoy this rare and warm moment while enjoying delicious food.

After a long while, after eating and drinking, Yang Yan really got down to business with his father.

Through the windows, you can still see the bright lights in the conference venue. It means the game is still not over.

"The intensity of this battle is much higher than that of the Alliance Conference, and it is still going on at night!" Yang Yan was standing by the window blowing the wind, and there seemed to be a faint sound of battle ringing in his ears.

"There were a lot of people at the beginning, and the time was all arranged. It's not easy to push back. Of course, we have to finish the day's battle. After two rounds, there is no need to compete until the evening!" Omu Yong walked up.

"I didn't know the number of registrants before, but now the match list is out. Dad, you should know the number. How many matches will be played in the first round?" Yang Yan asked.

"Not many, just 3 games." Omu Yong slowly explained: "According to rumors, the number of people who can pass the hall master's assessment this year may be around 100. The total number of applicants this time is more than 5400, and nearly 9 of them have been eliminated. 3%, it only requires battles.”

"It sounds really cruel!" Yang Yan nodded.

After 3 games, there will be more than 600 people left.

The competition of hard power is so "bloody".

Of course, this number does not include the king-level trainers who were exempted from the first round of examination.

"Have you found out who your opponent is tomorrow and what Pokémon you are using?" Yang Yan asked again.

Omu Yong sighed, "It's a guy named Sharp. I only know that this person is a local from Hezhong, but I haven't found out what Pokémon he uses. The battle club seems to have temporarily signed up trainers from Hezhong for the assessment. The information is locked and you can’t even ask.”

"Local in Hezhong... That's okay. I heard that trainers in the Hezhong area are generally not good. I think using a long-term attrition war should be a good choice, especially if you have to wait for a long time in the backcourt, this tactic is more Easy to use!”

Omu Yong thought: "Delaying time? This doesn't suit my style, and I don't have any Pokémon that are good at fighting wars of attrition..."

While eating, Yang Yan briefly asked his father about the Pokémon that had reached Quasi-Kingdom.

In addition to the first four elders who followed his father: Dou Li Mushroom, Blazing Horse, King Yan and Ice Ghost Guard, there are only the Swamp King who evolved from the Ubo that Yang Yan first gave to his father, and the one that was later trained by Omu Yong. Platypus.

Although Omu Yong broke through the trainer level after traveling and became qualified to redeem qualification potions, he still couldn't take care of all the Pokémon and couldn't continue to provide resources to support the rapid growth of the Pokémon.

Most of the money and alliance points he earned from completing tasks were exchanged for qualification potions, which were used by Lieyan Ma, Da Wangyan and Ice Ghost.

The Silly Fire Camel and Molten Ant Beast that Yang Yan gave to Damu Yong together with the Duck-billed Baby are currently only elite-level in strength, not to mention the Fire Elf and Fire Explosive Beast that will be obtained later. They will be completely useless in this assessment.

To be honest, Omu Isamu's 6 Pokémon are not very strong. Looking at paper strength alone, Omu Isamu may not even be considered mid-range among all applicants.

Without his own help, Yang Yan doubted whether his father could pass the first round of assessment.

Although he just boasted in front of his mother, he still needs to be cautious when facing it.

"Dad, fighting a war of attrition does not depend on whether the Pokémon is suitable or not. The key depends on the choice of the trainer. If you can hold back your temper and not be aggressive, it is not difficult to prolong the game. The difficult thing is that it takes time. Stay patient, you can’t be impatient first!”

"Besides, your Pokémon are not suitable for attrition warfare at all. I think Dou Li Mushroom and King Swallow are very suitable..."

"By the way, I haven't even asked you, what are the characteristics of your Pokémon?"
