Pokémon: The Climb

With mixed emotions of anticipation and anxiety, the three planes finally sailed into the sky over a vast land.

"Look, we're in Galar!"

An exclamation came from nowhere, making the slightly quiet cabin suddenly noisy, and everyone subconsciously looked out the window.

"The following is the Galar region... If it were another way, I would be willing to visit here!" Yang Yan secretly sighed.

Before that, he had thought that it would be great if he had the opportunity to bring Qianmian Yuyong to travel to Galar. Unexpectedly, what he thought was hopeless was now possible.

Although he should have to wait until after the competitive elimination round, at least he has come to Galar, which is already good.

"It's a pity that I flew too high and couldn't see clearly what's below. I really want to see the special Pokémon of the Galar region earlier!" Qianli said expectantly.

Arriving in a new area brought back long-lost memories of traveling thousands of miles ago.

The novelty and joy I felt every time I met a Pokémon I didn't know has never happened again in a long time.

This time, it was not in vain.

Flying over the Galar region, although they can only see some blurry pictures, everyone can see that the Galar region is very developed. Many villages and towns have rail tracks, not to mention that they can be seen at a glance. It's a big city that can be distinguished. The towering buildings have refreshed many people's perceptions.

"I didn't expect that the Galar region would have developed to this extent by itself. No wonder they dare to make demands and bargain with the Pokémon Alliance!" Yang Yan suddenly realized.

Among the areas he has been to, only the Hezhu area and the Kalos area that was rebuilt after the War of Divine Beasts can compare with it.

Of course, after receiving technical support from the Hezhong region, Kanto and other places will also be doing well under their control in these years. However, except for Fengyuan, who stayed for two years after returning, Yang Yan's impression of other areas basically remained what it was many years ago.

Strictly speaking, each region has been different for a long time. Basically, it has become more and more like a modern city.

The speed of the plane was very fast, and before everyone's fresh energy dissipated, they actually reached their destination.

In a huge city that is not ordinary at first glance.

"Look, it's such a big stadium. Isn't that where we will play?"

As soon as he got off the plane, Yang Yan heard a cry of surprise.

Following the direction in which everyone was looking, a tall circular venue beyond imagination came into view.

"Mr. Tingdu said that the 'battle' culture in the Galar region was extremely developed. I didn't have much idea about it at the time, but now, seeing this stadium, I seem to understand how passionate Galar is about fighting. !" Qianli smiled and turned his head, "It must be a very different feeling to play in such a Hongdae venue. Do you feel very excited about it?"

Yang Yan suppressed his slightly excited mood and replied: "Yes. I think as a trainer, you should want to show your strength in such a competition!"

He cast his gaze into the distance.

That stadium was the largest one I had ever seen, and it stirred the trainer's soul all the time.

As a trainer, almost no one can refuse to stand in the spotlight.

"Everyone, I understand how you feel now, but we have to go to the hotel first. Please consciously maintain order and don't lose the face of our Pokémon Alliance!"

Suddenly a bright trumpet sounded from ahead.

Everyone, who was almost impatient to learn everything about Galar, had no choice but to leave the airport following the sound of the horn and take a bus to the hotel that had been prepared in advance.

In such a huge venue, there must be places like player villages, but because it will be the beginning of the competitive knockout tournaments for all levels of Galar soon, those places are probably already filled with trainers from the Galar region, and in order to avoid There is a possibility of conflict, so it would be a more appropriate choice to place the people from their Pokémon League in a hotel.

Of course, the Galar region is still very elegant, and the hotel is not far from the competition arena.

On the way to the hotel, Yang Yan knew the name of the city - Gongmen City through the promotional display boards on the tall buildings outside the window.

The arena they will board has the same name - the Palace Gate Arena.

When we arrived at the hotel, it looked like someone had been waiting at the door.

From the brief conversation, everyone learned that the entire hotel had been booked by the Pokémon League.

If you think about it, you can open a high-end hotel not far from the arena. You know how difficult it is to book a hotel. But for the Pokémon League, which has deep pockets, this is obviously not a problem.

The trainers didn't feel much about this, and most of them were still immersed in discussing the strange Pokémon they saw on the road.

Yang Yan also exchanged his guesses and opinions about those Pokémon with Qianli and Gaohai from time to time.

As for the other two companions who are also from Hoenn, Ms. Miyagi Ryuha seems to have a cold temper and is not very talkative. Mr. Tokai Shoumei may have a relatively large generation gap and rarely takes the initiative to talk to Yang Yan and others, so after getting off the plane, Yang Yan's familiarity with them was still at the level after the first meeting.

Mr. Du, who came with the trainers, arranged for other staff to distribute room cards to everyone.

Yang Yan and other personnel above the Heavenly King level received large single rooms. Those quasi-kings and elite trainers do not have this kind of treatment. They need two or three people to live in the same room.

Although this is the case, the allocation will still be based on region, which can avoid the embarrassing situation of sharing a room with people you don't know.

The trainers dispersed. After taking a look at their rooms, most of them quickly ran out.

We are all not children, and of course the Pokémon League cannot restrict everyone from leaving the hotel, so while it is still dark, whether it is just pure curiosity or preparation for the competition, the trainers basically want to know more about it. Pokémon from the Galar region.

Yang Yan was also one of them, but he chose to connect to Galar's network first, hoping to search the most comprehensive information as quickly as possible through the network.

Unfortunately, I don't know if the people of Galar were prepared in advance. It seems that a large part of the information about local Pokémon on the Internet has been deliberately deleted. Only the most basic parts can be found, such as names and appearances.

Others such as skills, moves, battle videos, etc. cannot be seen.

"This is a bit generous..."

Just as Yang Yan was sighing, there was a knock on the door, "Yang Yan, it's almost time, let's go down!"

"Come here!"

If there is no way to obtain information from the Internet, then you can only go outside to collect it in person.

By the time Yang Yan left the hotel with Qianli and Gao Hai, most of the other people had already dispersed to various parts of the city.

On the way, Qianli asked: "Yangyan, I remember that your Thousand Faces Avoider is a Pokémon from the Galar region. Do you know anything about other Pokémon from the Galar region?"

"You have Pokémon from the Galar region? How come I never heard you mention it?" Gao Hai stopped in surprise.
