Pokémon: The Climb

"Boy, you are crazy. Do you know who you are talking to?"

A gray-haired man with half a bottle of wine in his hand and half a bone in his mouth pushed away the guy who was stunned by Yang Yan and looked directly at him.

"Be careful, he is..."

Ai'er was just about to explain the identity of the visitor, but was directly interrupted by Yang Yan, "It doesn't matter who it is, an rude guy will never be able to be a gentleman. There is no need to know the name of such a person!"

The man opposite seemed to be angry and laughed. He tilted his head and asked, "Which family is this good boy from? He wants to be polite to us?"

Suddenly he aimed at Yang Yan like a hawk, "Boy, you need to be strong to speak big words. Be careful that trouble comes from your mouth!"

"Trouble comes from mouth?" Yang Yan also laughed, "How can you be confident that I am the weak one? Just because you are older than me?"

With a click, the bones in the man's mouth were bitten off. "If I don't teach you a lesson today, let you know what it means to respect your seniors. Be careful, no one will know which ravine you die in!"

Yang Yan raised his right index finger and shook it, "Senior? No, no, no, a loser with such age is not worthy of these two words!"

"How brave!" The man drank half the bottle of wine in one gulp, and then banged the empty bottle against the metal cover. "Boy, let's go down for a walk!"

Following the direction of the man's finger, Yang Yan could clearly see what the fighting arena looked like under the hood.

In the dark red field, the corpses of different Pokémon were lying messily on the edge, and in the center, several Pokémon were fighting in a bloody battle!

Not a metaphor. Those Pokémon did have undried blood stains on them.

Outside the hood, a large circle of people standing high up were cheering and shouting. Whenever a cruel scene occurs, there will be bursts of screams.

In addition to being confined to a fixed place that was not too small, and not seeing any trainers, the arena was a life-and-death fight that was very close to a wild battle.

"Whoever is a loser will see the truth immediately!" A cruel smile appeared at the corner of the man's mouth.

"Don't..." Elle tightened Yang Yan's arm and advised, "Parker is very powerful. He once killed all the Pokémon of three Quasi-Kings in the arena!"

"Boy, are you afraid?"

The man named Parker seemed to be worried that Yang Yan would regret what Ai'er said, so he couldn't help but irritate him.

"How could it be? If you didn't have this strength, I would be disappointed!" Yang Yan smiled even more.

He didn't give Aier a chance to continue speaking, and asked again: "The battle below is not over yet. Do we have to wait for a while?"

"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long!" Parker waved to a boy behind him, "You go and make arrangements, this boy and I will go to the next round!"

"Yes, boss!" The boy happily disappeared into the crowd.

"Before I leave," Parker turned his head again and grinned: "Boy, how many Pokémon did you bring? I killed them all, you won't feel sorry for me and call me daddy, right? Hahahaha!"

"How many of them do you have? I'll accompany you! If you think it's not enough, I won't mind adding those little brothers behind you!"

"Arrogant!" A younger brother behind Parker couldn't help but mock.

But Yang Yan seemed not to have heard it and continued to add: "By the way, what's the point of fighting? How about making another bet?"

"1 million... no, no, no, that's too little. There must be more than that for so many of you! Just 1 million for one person, including the one who just left, a total of 8 million, how about that?"

"I'm a very principled person. If I say I don't mind if you come together, I definitely won't mind!"

Seeing that the opponent was confident enough to challenge his group, it didn't seem like he was cheating. Such behavior could no longer be explained by "arrogance". If he is not crazy, then there is only one possibility. The young man in front of him really thinks that he can pick a few!

In all his life, Parker has never seen such an arrogant person. I can't help but murmur in my heart,

"Could this guy in front of me be a genius trainer from a certain noble family?"

But no matter how talented you are, it would be too much for one person to fight against 8 people!

"If this guy is really a genius trainer, he will have to bully the smaller ones..."

Parker thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it in his mouth. Instead, he said: "The venue can't accommodate so many people fighting at the same time. Boy, your observation skills are not up to par!"

"Really? That's a pity, someone can escape!" Yang Yan shrugged.

Parker snorted coldly, then turned around, "Boy, I'll go downstairs and wait for you first. Don't be too scared to come!"

"You're leaving now? Do you still want to gamble with 8 million? If not, you can do it with less..."

Before Yang Yan could finish shouting, Ai'er pulled him around.

"You may be really powerful, but you think of Parker and the others too simply. They never reason with their opponents in a battle. They are just as insidious as they come. If you stimulate them so much, no matter whether they can win or not, they will definitely fail in the end. You will suffer a loss. So..."

Yang Yan stopped forcibly and stared directly at Ai'er, which made Ai'er go from surprised to overwhelmed, and her cheeks turned red, "Why do you look at me like that?"

"With your identity, shouldn't you like to see this scene happen the most? Someone is jealous and fights because of you. What a good gimmick..."

"You!" Ai'er was shocked, "You actually think of me like this?!"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just analyzing based on rational thinking. After all, we are neither relatives nor friends, but we only exchanged a few words when we met for the first time. Under normal circumstances, why should we do it for a stranger who doesn't even know his name? Considering the situation? You think so, Miss Elle!"

"You...I..." Aier hesitated, not knowing what to say after all.

"Okay, Miss Elle, take me to the place where we enter the fighting arena."

Suddenly, Yang Yan pulled Aier back again.

He didn't care about Ai'er's real thoughts. Whether she was sincere or pretending to cover up her favor, she could not affect anything in the end.

"Okay, then come with me!"

Ai'er took a deep breath, calmed down, took Yang Yan's arm again, and headed in a certain direction.

"Parker is a frequent visitor to the fighting arena. People like them often change the Pokémon they use and do not have a fixed team. The only thing I can be sure of now is that he has a Pokémon in his hand that is larger than its peers. Lietus, he just won it from a bet two days ago from an out-of-town trainer."

"You are a trainer, and you must know that Fritos will use self-destructive moves. You have to be careful!"

Yang Yan didn't pay attention to Fredos, but was more interested in the other news that Aier said.

"You mean, if you're betting on a fight, you can also bet on the Pokémon in the opponent's hand?"

"What's the point of this? You won't use it even if you win it, right?"
