Pokémon: The Climb

The headquarters of the United Alliance is located in the north where the Eastern Peninsula meets the central region. Geographically, it is very convenient to overlook the most developed area in the entire United Region.

Since the Unova area has a very complex geographical environment, transportation is also diverse.

It was not an easy journey from Yeba City to the headquarters of the United Alliance.

Fortunately, nearly two months have passed, and the chaos caused by Team Plasma has basically been calmed down, and there has been no trouble on the road.

At this time, Yang Yan's family had just arrived at the headquarters building of the United Alliance.

Even before entering, you can feel the lively atmosphere.

"There are so many people. This feeling is completely different from our Fengyuan Alliance!" Omu Yong said with emotion.

"Maybe it's because of the gym leader's assessment. Of course, it's also possible that the Hezhong Alliance itself is more 'people-friendly'." Yang Yan thought about it.

He has been to Pokémon Leagues in several regions, but those league headquarters always gave people a dignified and serious feeling. In comparison, the United League did indeed feel more "relaxed and lively".

"Let's go in and ask about the situation!" Damu Yong couldn't wait to take the first step.

After all, it took half a year, and he cared about the results of the assessment even more than Yang Yan did.

Yang Yan and his mother followed closely.

When he entered the building, his father was already asking the receptionist about the situation.

"How's it going, Dad, are the results out?" Yang Yan stepped forward and asked.

Omu Yong thanked the waiter slightly disappointedly, then turned around and said, "The staff said it will be out in the next two days, so let us wait patiently."

"It's only two days, not a long time." Yang Yan was already mentally prepared for this result.

The review of my doctoral thesis has not been completed for more than half a year after it was submitted. This was with the help of Teacher Nagai. From this, we can see how the Pokémon League's work efficiency is.

"In that case, let's go for a walk outside first and just relax!"

Mom Reiko's mentality has recovered well, and she is still in the mood to eat, drink and have fun.

"Let dad accompany you. I have something to deal with, so I won't go with you." Yang Yan didn't want to go shopping with his mom. That was more tiring than playing a long-lasting 6V6 all-out battle.

"Okay, then you can go back early when you're done." Reiko let go generously.

The couple both knew that their son had signed up for the King of Heaven Ranking Tournament and had made an appointment to compete near the alliance headquarters, so neither insisted on it.

Although Omu Yong had watched his son's battle when he was in Yeba City, he still wanted to see the ranking battle among all the kings.

However, my mother, Reiko, has almost vomited from watching the battles in the past few months. Even the battles between kings really don't interest her.

And it was impossible for my father to let my mother go shopping alone, so he had no choice but to leave.

After bidding farewell to his parents at the entrance of the headquarters building, Yang Yan went straight to the battle club.

Yes, there is a battle club near the Unova headquarters.

This battle club is even responsible for more than 8% of the battle work here.

When Yang Yan got off the station, he noticed the club sign hanging high, so he easily found the place along the road.

After getting closer, Yang Yan discovered that the size of this club was probably only one level lower than the United League headquarters, but it was much larger than the clubs he had seen in other cities.

"Hello, trainer, how can I help you?"

After passing through the automatic sensor glass door, a waiter came over.

"I made an appointment with someone through your club's platform for a match. Come over and see if the other person is there." Yang Yan said as he walked.

"No problem, let me check it for you." The waiter led Yang Yan to the front desk and asked curiously: "Can you please tell me the name of your opponent?"

"Kenneth, Kenneth Pegg, do you know this name?"

The waiter covered his mouth with surprise on his face, "Is it Mr. Peg? Have you made an appointment for a fight with Mr. Peg? Sorry, I mean..."

Yang Yan waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, just check for me and see if others are there."

"No need to check, Mr. Pegg is currently in the top lounge of our club. I can help you contact him right away." The waiter stopped immediately, "Although I am not doubting you, I need you to provide your trainer. ID tag.”

"It should be." Yang Yan casually took out the ID card that exuded diamond-like luster and symbolized a king-level trainer from his pocket and threw it out.

"Please wait a moment, I will contact you right now!" After the waiter got the "hot" ID card, he respectfully followed Yang Yan to the front desk and sat down, then picked up the phone on the table and started dialing.

After a while, she came out again and handed the card back with both hands, "Mr. Pegg said he would be down soon. Please sit down for a moment."

"There's no need to sit down for a while. Take me to the battle venue you arranged. I think you already know what kind of battle he and I are going to have."

"No problem, I'll take you there right now!"

Yang Yan followed the waiter, walked through the hall, passed through the building, then took a small car through the back mountain, and finally arrived at a stone path with a stream.

Although the weather has become colder, the surrounding flowers and plants are still green, and you can tell at a glance that they have been "maintained" by grass-type Pokémon.

Yang Yan looked around, excluding the influence of the weather, there was no difference between this place and the normal wilderness.

"Mr. Omu, the Heavenly King Ranking Battle is quite special. There is no fixed venue, but from another perspective, this area is also the range of the battle field." The waiter gestured in a circle.

Yang Yan nodded, indicating that he knew.

Before long, another sightseeing car drove over.

Sitting behind the car was a blond man about thirty years old, very well-dressed.

It seems that he is of extraordinary origin.

Before Yang Yan chose someone as his opponent, he roughly checked online reviews about him and contacted him after confirming that he had a pretty good personality.

This is also an important reason why Yang Yan decided to make Kenneth Pace his first opponent in the ranking match even though he came from a wealthy family.

When the car stopped nearby, Yang Yan realized that the driver was Dong George.

"You must be Mr. Omu. I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long!"

Dong George still had the familiar enthusiastic demeanor, saying apologetic words, but he didn't appear to have a low profile, and he was just right.

"Hello, Mr. Omu!"

Kenneth Pace walked over slowly and shook hands with Yang Yan.

"Hello, Mr. Pace!"

"Although I have already known that Mr. Omu is very young, it was only after we actually met that I realized that you are even younger and more promising than I thought!"

"Thank you Mr. Pace!"

……

The meeting before the battle ended quickly in a pleasant atmosphere.

After a while, Yang Yan and Kenneth Pace were standing on opposite sides nearly 100 meters apart.
