Pokémon: The Climb

"I'm finally back. How's it going? What's the gain?"

Yang Yan is not worried that something will happen to the ghosts. After all, according to the last experience, it is just a secret realm that has not been completely eroded by destructive energy.

When Yveltal fell asleep again and was not discovered by humans, the dangers in the secret realm were nothing but wild Pokémon. Even if the ghost-types couldn't defeat them, they would definitely have no problem escaping.

Several important ghost types such as Gengar, Night Demon, and Snow Demoness appeared one after another. Yang Yan asked about their experiences in the secret realm and integrated the information to roughly understand the situation of the secret realm.

I don't know what Yveltal did later, or some unknown change occurred in the secret realm itself. When the ghosts entered, the place had been completely eroded by destructive energy, and the extent was quite deep.

The greenery that Yang Yan hadn't had time to finish shopping had been completely replaced by gray and black.

The Pokémon in the secret realm were either eroded by the destructive energy or died in the battles between the camps. If so many Pokémon eggs had not been transferred into it, the number of Pokémon inside would probably have been reduced to less than ten.

The black lake not far from where the Elf Egg was originally placed has expanded several times in scope, and is still releasing rich destructive energy, accelerating the transformation of the entire secret realm.

It is estimated that in the near future, the place will reach the same level as the strange secret realm where Yang Yan met Gardevoir, and the possibility of recovery will be completely lost.

Of course, this was something that had been expected, but the time was much earlier than Yang Yan expected.

What he is most concerned about is the transmission channel.

Through an almost carpet-like investigation, the ghosts lived up to expectations and discovered the transmission channel connecting the real world.

In order to explore the situation on the other side of the passage, the ghost-types also had a big fight with nearby Pokémon.

And they would be delayed for several days because it took them a long time to find out where the passage corresponds to the current position.

If it is too far from the city, then Yang Yan's plan to collect materials containing destructive energy may not be realized, so confirming the specific location is a top priority. Yang Yan specially emphasized it before the operation.

Unfortunately, luck doesn't seem to be very good. It is estimated that it will take a lot of time before it is possible to find the human city closest to the teleportation channel.

In addition, Yang Yan speculated that there might be a transmission channel in the secret realm connecting Yveltal's sleeping place, but the ghosts have not discovered it yet.

It's not that there is no confirmation, but the concentration of destructive energy in many places is too high. Only King-level Pokémon can stay for a relatively long time, so the search speed is not fast.

On the contrary, the plan for them to "recruit" other hatched ghost-type Pokémon went smoothly. Currently, the Crystal Lantern Fire Spirit is "purifying" the turbid energy of those ghost-type Pokémon.

Yang Yan has not forgotten to extract the original liquid of life energy and produce neutralizing energy in the past few days, so in a short time, he can start to restore the self-awareness of those ghosts. He hopes that more guys will survive in the end.

"You've done a good job. Let's explore as fast as possible for the time being. Also, remember to restrain the other ghosts and don't let them cause too many killings. Try to be more restrained!"

After Yang Yan warned them, he let them go back to the spirit world to rest.

The Pokémon in that secret realm had just experienced a great battle, and had lost too much high-end combat power. Dealing with them now would have little training effect on the ghost-types, so it was best to "raise them" first.

"In two days, after the destructive energy contaminated by the night demons has been removed, we can begin to explore the secret realm connected to unknown totem A..."

That's where the focus is and you need to be as careful as possible.

Now that he has left Carlos, he can't give them much help. If another major accident happens, Yang Yan will have a headache.

The peaceful days did not last for a few days. After seeing off the second batch of ghost exploration teams, Dad’s opponent for the second game was finally determined.

"Esther Hogg? So, what kind of Pokémon does Ms. Hogg use? Dad, have you found out clearly?"

At this time, Yang Yan was sitting in the room arranged for his father in the contestants' village.

"The first round of the game has just ended, and I just received the notification. Before you came, I just found the video of her battle in the first game."

Yang Yan took out his computer, "Let's take a look together and send me the link!"

Fortunately, every battle in the game was thoughtfully recorded by the league just like the league competition.

Otherwise, even if you know who your opponent is, you may still be blind.

……

At the same time, all the winning players who passed the first round were actively inquiring about their opponents in the second round.

Outside the battlefield, some people even sold information on the winning trainer.

The information not only includes the general situation of the Pokémon used by the trainer in the first game, but also includes an evaluation of the trainer's own personality and strength. It does look like he has done a lot of homework.

The noisy environment lasted until Junsha led people to maintain order.

However, although the intelligence transaction on the surface has been dispelled, there are people behind the scenes who are preparing to "do something big".

Underground casinos have opened handicaps as soon as possible and have spread the message "Welcome to place bets" through various secret channels.

Far outside the city, someone also thoughtfully left a note at the door of Yang Yan's farmyard.

A few hours later, after Yang Yan finished the discussion with his father, he couldn't help but laugh when he came back and saw what was in the crack of the door.

"Finally can't stand it anymore!"

"Liris Leisure Club? You are very good at choosing places. Do you feel confident or bold to place your handicap in such a conspicuous place? Interesting!"

After crumpling the note into a ball and throwing it into the trash can, Yang Yan planned to go to the club tonight to find out.

"I haven't done anything for so many days. They are probably collecting information about me. I didn't deliberately hide my relationship with my father. Hilson should know that I am a family member of a contestant who signed up for the gym leader selection."

"Considering the impact, maybe Hilson won't mess around during the selection. But since everyone has sent the invitation letter, it might as well go and find out. After all, the sooner the solution is resolved, the sooner one can feel at ease and start the next step earlier. Something..."

Since you are going, you naturally need to make some preparations.

Yang Yan checked the room again, and after confirming that there was still no problem, he went to the Fairy Secret Realm to exchange a few Pokémon just in case.

The lanterns are on.

Yang Yan, who put on low-key attire, slowly walked into a five-six-story clubhouse with dazzling lights after showing an invitation letter.

"welcome!"

A neat and clear voice came from the mouth of a beautiful young waiter with long legs exposed behind the door.

You can tell at a glance that this is not a serious leisure place...
