Pokémon: The Climb

The end of the year is here in a blink of an eye.

Although the New Year in this world is not a very special day, Yang Yan still gave himself two days off and went back to the gym to reunite with his parents.

After the holiday, Yang Yan also received an official notification from the alliance as soon as possible, that is, a congratulatory email for passing the King Ranking Tournament.

But within a few seconds, he received another notification letter from the alliance, which was the news that he would automatically sign up for the next Four Heavenly Kings Alternate Challenge.

Although almost no one would refuse, the letter still thoughtfully explained how to refuse to participate.

Of course, Yang Yan will not refuse. After all, if you miss it once, you will have to wait 10 years. This time span is no joke.

"The Alternate Challenge... is not easy to play, and I don't know how many powerful guys I will encounter," Yang Yan took a deep breath and smiled: "But it is precisely because of this that it gives me a feeling of excitement that I haven't seen in a long time! "

According to the information Yang Yan investigated, generally among the trainers who have passed the Heavenly King Ranking Competition, some of the top trainers basically have one or two quasi-champions. Only in rare cases, the overall level will be low.

And if you want to successfully pass the Four Heavenly Kings Alternate Challenge, I'm afraid it will take 5 or 6 quasi-champions to be more stable.

Yang Yan currently has three quasi-champions in his hands. From a paper perspective, he estimates that he will most likely only be ranked in the middle. That said, this game is bound to be full of challenges.

Yang Yan continued to read and quickly found the specific competition information.

"Report to the Kanto Alliance headquarters in 5 months... Are you only given 5 months of rest? I don't know if it will be enough for my Pokémon to break through one or two more..."

The location will be in the Kanto League, which is not surprising, but the interval is a little shorter.

And it seems to have collided with the alliance conferences in various regions. I don’t understand what the alliance is thinking.

At this time, seeing Yang Yan staring at Omu Yong in his hand, he suddenly asked: "Xiao Yan, what are you looking at, so fascinated?"

Yang Yan then put down his phone and said, "Nothing, just the notification for the alternate challenge has arrived. I got to know it a little bit."

"The notice came out so soon, what do you say?"

As Yang Yan's father, Ohmu Yong has of course already known about competitions beyond his current level, such as the King Ranking Tournament and the Alternate Challenge Tournament, through his son. As a trainer, he would naturally be curious about this, so he quickly asked.

"It is said that we will meet up at the Kanto League in five months. The details of the game will be announced at that time."

"Five months? Time seems to be tight!" Damu Yong frowned slightly.

Suddenly, Reiko, the mother sitting next to her, remembered something and asked: "Xiaoyan, didn't you say you were planning to go to the Alola region after the new year? Isn't it too late? Isn't it too late? "

Although Reiko didn't say it directly, the implication was that she wanted Yang Yan to stay at home.

After all, since Yang Yan became a trainer, the family has only now stabilized and can spend more time together. Of course she doesn't want her son to go out and not be seen for another year and a half.

"In the past, there was really not enough time, but now that there are planes, it won't take much time on the way back and forth."

Going to the Alola region, at first, Yang Yan just regarded it as a relaxing trip without thinking about anything else and just enjoying new things. After all, there were many posts on the Internet saying that it was a very suitable place for travel.

After working hard for more than ten years, I can only enjoy the period before the alternate challenge, and naturally I shouldn't waste it.

But now this trip has "changed the flavor" a little bit. Don't get me wrong, it's just because Yang Yan accidentally learned that the fire-spotted cats among Alola's special Pokémon actually have intimidating hidden properties.

Considering that its attributes and characteristics were very suitable for him and his father, he wanted to get some of them and keep them at home or in the laboratory.

At first, he wanted to conquer the Kati dog from the Junsha clan to join his coercion team. Moreover, when the intimidation potion was promoted before, the Junsha clan actually sent someone to talk to him.

It was agreed at that time that both he and his father would get a katy dog ​​with intimidating characteristics.

However, he did not expect that even if the Kati dogs were given out to outside the family, they would still need to be returned to the Junsha clan if they gave birth to offspring in the future.

Although this request is the same as that of the Yusan family, the attitude of the Junsha family is too arrogant and they simply put themselves on the same level as the alliance. Yang Yan feels that if he agrees to the Junsha family's request, something may happen in the future. trouble.

It happened that not long after, he heard the news that the fire-spotted cat also had intimidating characteristics, so after learning about it, he gave up the idea of ​​​​conquering the Kati dog, and felt that conquering the fire-spotted cat from the Alola region would be a better choice.

Although the Alola Alliance has already been established, because it is a start-up, and the geographical and cultural environment there is different from other regions, even though Fire Spot Meow was later announced as a member of the Royal Three in the Alola region, the local Instead of catching all these Pokémon and using artificial intervention and cultivation methods, most of them are still allowed to live freely in cities and wilds.

Therefore, it is a more convenient choice to conquer some fire-spotted cats.

Of course, for fire-spotted cats that have not yet been artificially bred, the proportion of high-qualified cats must be pitifully low. It may be difficult for Yang Yan to tame one that suits his liking.

However, his father's requirements are relatively low, so Yang Yan's trip is mainly to select for his father and the institute.

Due to time constraints, Yang Yan set off early the next day after dinner to prepare for the Alola region.

It took him 5 days to successfully set foot on the land of Alola.

"Melemele Island, the name is rather strange..."

Yang Yan listened to the announcement on the radio to welcome tourists, and then he learned the name of the island.

The entire Alola region consists of 4 large islands and some small islands surrounding them.

The four islands from west to east are Poni Island, Melemele Island, Akala Island and Ula'ula Island.

Although the range of the four islands is okay, taken together, it is still incomparable to any other area. Differs greatly.

In addition, due to the clear restrictions on the regional scope, after years of development, in the current Alola region, basically the areas that can be developed by humans have actually been developed.

There is no room for continued large-scale development. Perhaps this is the reason why although the Alola Alliance was established, the local area did not bring over the alliance as a whole, and the previous governance model was still continued overall.

In addition, Yang Yan also speculated that this may be one of the reasons why the locals are not worried about the crime and unrest caused by outsiders. After all, there are people active in most areas of the island. Once something goes wrong, it is basically hidden. Can't live.

If someone really can't help but do bad things, unless he is very strong and has the ability to cross the ocean, he will basically not be able to escape the fate of being caught.

On this point, Yang Yan had read many related reports on the Internet before he came.

After leaving the airport, Yang Yan noticed that the airport area was a bit small, and not far away you could see the seaside port and the ships passing by.
