Pokémon: The Climb

The next day, the players’ waiting area.

"How was your rest last night?" Qianli suddenly asked after sitting down.

Yang Yan said: "It's okay, it won't affect today's battle."

"That's good." Qianli nodded and said nothing more.

Generally speaking, after experiencing such a long tug-of-war yesterday, there will be some sequelae today, whether it is the trainer or the Pokémon.

However, relying on meditation, Yang Yan can quickly recover his energy. As for Pokémon, even if he reorganizes a completely different team from yesterday, it will be no problem for him, so his answer to Qianli is that he was not affected by yesterday. Just say it casually.

After the third round of competition yesterday, two more people in the Pokémon League stopped there, leaving 13 people left.

On the other hand, on the Galar side, after deducting the number of people lost this time, there are currently only 9 people left.

The comparison of the number of people suddenly turned upside down.

Therefore, the number of games in the fourth round will be based on the number of Galar trainers. It also means that in this round, someone from the Pokémon League will have a bye.

The benefits of a bye are self-evident, so although the faces of everyone who returned to the waiting area the next day could not see anything, they all looked forward to becoming one of the four lucky ones.

After all, 13 out of 4 is still a very high ratio.

This is how it should be.

But unexpectedly, A'Du came in not long after and told them that after consultation with Galar, starting from this round, after the trainers of the two sides battled, the side with more people and the remaining trainers would still need each other. After the battle, the winner will advance to the next round.

The four bye spots are gone, and one extra game is required. This decision is not cruel.

If it was not A'Du who came to announce this announcement, Yang Yan doubted whether the trainers present could suppress the anger in their hearts.

"Yang Yan, what do you think of the alliance's decision?" After A'Du left, Qianli turned around and asked.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Yan guessed uncertainly: "There is no reason for the Pokémon Alliance to kill itself. The only reasonable possibility I can think of is that it is probably to save some face for Galar."

Although the people left in Galar are all strong, there is a gap between the strong. According to the current situation, if the competition continues like the first three rounds, it is very likely that no one will be left in Galar, and There are many people left in the Pokémon League.

That would be too disrespectful to Galar, and would most likely have an unpredictable impact on persuading Galar to join the Pokémon League.

Choosing the method A'Du said and letting them consume each other can effectively alleviate the occurrence of this conflict.

Furthermore, if it hadn't been for this incident in Galar, they would have been rivals, and now they would have just returned to their original form.

"You're thinking far ahead. It seems you already have the idea of ​​becoming a candidate for the Four Heavenly Kings!" Qianli patted Yang Yan on the shoulder with great relief.

"You are the one. I'm afraid you have already thought of this level."

Qianli just smiled without explaining anything.

Suddenly, Yang Yan looked startled. Because the last thing he saw on the big screen was Qianli's profile picture.

"Teacher, you are chosen!"

Qianli smiled in surprise, "Yeah, I'm the first to play."

"Mr. Qianli, come on!"

"Come on Qianli!"

"Fight well!"

Others in the room looked over and said.

Qianliqi responded while walking outside.

"Haha, just wait for my good news!"

Qianli walked very gracefully, but there was no smile on Yang Yan's face. Because he knew that the Senli Pokémon was not in good condition.

In fact, it's not just Qianli, they all have more or less Pokémon losses.

The number of Pokémon in Qianli was not large to begin with. Among all the trainers who came here, it was below average, with only more than 10 Pokémon.

After 3 games, there are only a few usable Pokémon left.

On the Galar side, most people only fought once, and it was so many days apart. The Pokémon basically had no problems, and their overall strength was still at its peak.

With such a comparison, the gap has already been reflected before the fight begins.

It's hard to say that this wasn't Galar's intention.

But this is a conspiracy, and even if you know it, there is no way to deal with it.

In fact, Yang Yan didn't think that Galar's actions were despicable. After all, if one region challenged the entire Pokémon League, if he didn't use some means, he would probably lose ugly.

In addition, he speculated that this might also be tacitly approved by the Pokémon League.

After all, this competitive match is not only a battle between Galar and the Pokémon League, but also to select people who are capable enough to serve as candidates for the Four Heavenly Kings.

It's understandable to increase the difficulty and set up more tests.

At this time, the race of thousands of miles has begun.

His opponent is an old woman named Popula.

Galar called her the oldest arena factory owner. It was hard to imagine that someone of such an age would still be active in the arena, but that was indeed the case.

Being older is an advantage. Facing such an opponent, Qianli's hope of winning is not high.

In fact, many people have seen this, but they have not said it explicitly.

Even Qianli himself looked away. It can be seen from his wanton style of play.

The result was as expected. After more than an hour and a half of fierce fighting, Qianli's ace, King of Leave, finally fell to the opponent's ace, Pokkisi.

The outcome has been decided.

"What a hearty battle!" Qianli laughed when he came back, "Everyone, I'm really sorry, the rest of the battle can only be left to you."

Everyone came forward to express their condolences.

"If you were in your heyday, you might not lose to that old lady. What a pity!" Yang Yan handed Qianli a bottle of water.

Qianli took the water bottle and said with a smile: "It's just a matter of time. If you win this game, you won't be able to win the next one. It's good now."

Becoming a candidate for the Four Heavenly Kings was not Qianli's goal in the first place, so he would not feel a pity whenever he stopped.

At this time, the second game began. Perhaps stimulated by Qianli's failure, the trainer who represented the Pokémon League in this round performed superbly and defeated his opponent.

Seeing that it was almost time, Yang Yan wanted to go have lunch, but before leaving, he unexpectedly saw his own profile picture on the big screen.

"Am I the third one?" Yang Yan frowned slightly.

He had no choice but to divert to the arena.

And his opponent arrived at the other end of the field almost at the same time.

"It's really a trendy dress..."

The trainer named Nie Zi opposite him was, to be honest, beyond his general impression of trainers.

He guessed that besides being a trainer, that person might also have other professions like himself.

The only thing that surprised him was that the other party seemed to be sleep-deprived, and his energy level seemed low.

"Please send Pokémon from both sides!" the referee shouted loudly after announcing the rules again.

"Go ahead, hooded bastard!"
