Pokémon: The Climb

Ishimura walked into the tent with a few bottles of water in his hand and handed them casually to a colleague sitting in front of the computer.

"Dasheng, how are you today? A few people have quit!"

Ishimura's relaxed tone revealed a hint of disappointment.

Dasheng stood up and turned back to take a bottle of water. He unscrewed the cap and took a big sip. He wiped his mouth and said, "Captain, 16 people announced their withdrawal today."

Ishimura's expression remained the same: "After all, there are less than 160 people left!"

Dasheng pointed to the computer screen, which showed the distribution map of the entire island, with conspicuous red dots scattered among them.

Each red dot represents a person who is still participating in the trial.

One of the red dots is particularly eye-catching, because even though the other red dots are scattered, they surround the central area of ​​the entire island and are constantly getting closer, while this special red dot is alone on the edge of the island. , seems extremely unsociable.

"Captain, they are basically spread out now. Of course, it is impossible to have a large-scale battle like the first day. Naturally, fewer people will be eliminated."

Ishimura nodded: "This is indeed the case, but the next war must be not far away. Now that the time has passed, there will probably be more and more people who can't bear it."

"By the way," Ishimura took a step forward, pointed at the special red dot in front of the screen and asked, "Does this person not have the intention to explore forward?"

"Well," Dasheng scratched his head: "He is still the same as the previous few days. He just explores the surroundings for a while and then goes back. It seems that he still doesn't intend to leave for the time being."

Then Dasheng came over in a low voice and said, "Captain, why don't I go and help you find out who this person is?"

"Asshole!" Ishimura criticized harshly: "If you dare to say such things again, I will expel you from the team!"

"Yes!" Dasheng took a step back and said straightly.

The alliance had regulations from the beginning that did not allow staff to know the name of the tester corresponding to the red dot, in order to prevent internal personnel from using their authority to help the tester.

Of course, this move is mainly to deal with the children of the big families of trainers and cultivators, to prevent them from buying things that should be used by the younger generation.

Ishimura said this just because he didn't want Dasheng to make a mistake, but in fact, he was still very curious in his heart about who this person was.

They first noticed this person in the evening of the first day.

At that time, most of the people who set out had already penetrated deep into the island, so the existence of this red dot seemed so abrupt.

They also discussed why the man did what he did.

In the end, the only conclusion we came to was "avoid the fierce conflict at the beginning."

Three people who don't know each other are together, and they still have a competitive relationship with each other. It doesn't look like they can coexist peacefully.

The purpose of the alliance's arrangement is so simple and straightforward.

Also surprisingly effective.

On the first day, many people lost their Pokémon's ability to fight due to the battle, and most of them chose to quit.

In addition to leading the trialists to the starting point, another important task for the staff leading the three-person team is to bring back those who quit.

The largest number of people were eliminated on the first day, close to 100!

In the following days, there were not many battles due to the distance between them.

It was not until five days later that some people began to meet and the fighting resumed.

The Pokémon on this island had been cleaned up by them in advance, and the powerful ones were basically taken away. Except for some good ones left at the location of the ball as a trial, most of the other places would not be affected as long as they were careful. Accidents will occur.

The alliance's original intention from the beginning was not to eliminate personnel through the wild environment, because there are too many uncertainties, and casualties will occur if one thing goes wrong.

There are so many people signing up this time. If some parents make trouble then, it will not end well.

There are not so many worries in battles between people. As long as you defeat the opponent's Pokémon, it is almost equivalent to eliminating the opponent, and the safety is undoubtedly much greater.

Therefore, the initial goal of the alliance was to eliminate people through battles between trialists.

As for whether to pick them out one by one alone, or to cooperate with others to eliminate those who are left alone.

The alliance doesn't care.

Dasheng sat back at the computer again and asked: "Captain, do you think this person gave up at the beginning? Is he afraid of the dangers in the wild if he hasn't left for so long?"

Ishimura frowned. He had never thought about this possibility, but if he was so afraid, why would he sign up to participate? It doesn't make sense logically.

Was it forced by family members?

So this person had no choice but to survive until the end, and then tell his family that he had tried his best, but still failed?

Do you think that as long as you survive two weeks, your family will not pursue you even if you fail?

Ishimura wasn't sure, but that didn't stop him from teaching Dasheng.

"Why are you thinking so much? Do your job well." Ishimura said seriously: "Dasheng, everyone has his own choice. You don't need other people to comment on what to do. You just need to understand this."

"Yes, Captain!"

This red dot represents Yang Yan.

The reason why he stayed here was probably even scratching their heads and the others couldn't figure out the reason.

The watch has a positioning function, of course Yang Yan knows it, so in order to prevent the Alliance people from finding out that he has not moved and coming to check, he will let Ninja Shell and Ghost Stone take turns to take their watches out for a walk every day. One lap.

The range should be within 1-3 kilometers.

The food in the bag is not enough for two weeks. If Yang Yan does not do this, he will directly expose his flaws. However, this will only create the appearance that although Yang Yan does not want to participate in the trial, he is trying to survive every day.

This can minimize the possibility of detection by the alliance.

Eight days have passed, and the fact that Yang Yan is still not exposed is the best proof.

Yang Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat on the stone bench made for him by Guhunyan. He took out food to replenish energy and thought about the next arrangements.

"Everything is done. It's time to set off tomorrow. Most of the 10 balls must have been found. If I try to find them again, it will most likely be a waste of time and rob others..."

Yang Yan kept analyzing the pros and cons.

Stealing is undoubtedly the simplest and most effective way to win, but the premise is that you must be able to beat it.

In addition, there are only so many balls, and there must be many people with the same idea, so it will definitely be a chaotic battle. Yang Yan does not think that the person who wins in the end will definitely be him.

This week is the most relaxing week for Yang Yan.

This "relaxation" is not mental, but it means that since he became a trainer, he has not had to run around for the last week.

It was also a week where the Pokémon didn't fight at all.

Although their levels have not been improved, the amount of daily training has been doubled by Yang Yan. The benefit is that the skills and proficiency they have mastered have been greatly improved.

Take the little fire horse as an example. All its offensive skills have a proficiency of over 50%, and its flame jet reaches 60%.

It is worth mentioning that when the collision proficiency reaches 50%, the little fire horse also learned its upper-level skill: slam!

And the proficiency level is 40% as soon as you learn it, which can be directly used in combat.

The slamming move is very powerful, but it has a counter-injury effect, so Yang Yan doesn't like it very much. He doesn't want the little fire horse to use this move unless necessary.

What if my brain is damaged?

Let’s talk about the change-type moves, among which the proficiency of guarding is 40%, and the proficiency of barking, tail wagging and high-speed movement is about 45%.

Overall, the improvement in hard power is no smaller than the improvement in level.
