Pokémon: The Climb

"Forget it, it's all old stuff, let's not mention it anymore." Qianli waved his hand, smiled and shook his head.

"Don't." Yang Yan really wanted to say this, but couldn't.

He is quite interested in things that happened thousands of miles ago.

But if people don’t tell me, what can be done?

"When I say this, I actually want to ask you, do you have any plans for the future?"

Qianli's sudden words caught Yang Yan off guard.

"If you were an ordinary trainer, I wouldn't ask this question now, but you are different!" Qianli pointed at Yang Yan: "You already have so many Pokémon, you must face this problem squarely!"

Qianli paused, put down his hand and continued: "For every trainer, training a Pokémon is not just as simple as it seems. This process allows you to understand what kind of Pokémon you like. , what kind of Pokémon are you good at?"

"The Pokémon you have now have very mixed attributes, and they are good at different directions and have different fighting methods."

"Specializing in one department makes it easier to reach higher. I think you know this."

Yang Yan nodded, this is almost the consensus of Pokémon trainers.

Qianli didn't pay attention to Yang Yan, but continued: "Of course, there is no rule that you must specialize in one type. Having a variety of Pokémon doesn't necessarily mean you can't go further."

"But the time and energy required are completely unequal."

Yang Yan naturally understood this sentence.

Specializing in one line means that there are many things in common in the cultivation of Pokémon. This not only saves a lot of time and money, but also makes it easier to gain convenience in certain aspects.

For example, becoming a gym leader is one of them.

But its shortcomings are also obvious. It lacks a striking surface, and its strength will be greatly reduced when encountering a Pokémon that restrains itself.

You may even encounter something that you can't solve at all because there is no suitable Pokémon.

Without specialization, the advantages are obvious.

It is difficult to target and will not be helpless in the face of complex environments. Whether it's a battle or a survival adventure in the wild, it's very advantageous.

The disadvantage is that it is difficult to cultivate, expensive and laborious, and it is even more troublesome to break the upper limit.

The advantages and disadvantages of the two are almost reversed.

"If you just want to be an ordinary ranger in the future, then it's really okay for you to be like this now."

"But if you want to go further, it's better to make the decision early."

In fact, Yang Yan had thought about this issue before, but to be honest, he had not thought about it well, nor did he feel that he should make a decision now.

Because no matter which one he chooses, Yang Yan feels that once he makes a choice, he must give up something.

Things like "the future" are originally called "the future" because of changes and unknowns.

Yang Yan didn't want his future to be shackles early, he wanted everything to go naturally.

Besides, he is only 10 years old now. Who can say for sure what his future will be like?

"Master, it's not that I haven't thought about this, but I think it's a little early. I think it won't be too late after I graduate, right?" Yang Yan said in a low voice, tentatively.

Senri didn't answer, but instead laughed, turning his attention to the Pokémon he was training.

"Yang Yan, do you know what I rely on to get to where I am today?"

"Is this the decision?"

Qianli took a deep breath: "Yes, the reason why I am here today is because I made the decision to specialize in the general system from the day I became a trainer."

Yang Yan also turned around and looked: "You should really like the normal Pokémon, but I," Yang Yan said with a wry smile: "To tell you the truth, in my eyes, there is not much difference between each Pokémon, because There are things I like and things I don’t like in every series.”

"Ask me to specialize in one department now, I really can't make a decision."

"In other words, I don't know if specializing in one line is suitable for me."

Qianli withdrew his gaze: "That's right, everyone has their own path to take. As your teacher, I can inform you and give you some advice, but I can't make decisions for you."

"Since you don't plan to specialize in one series for the time being, it doesn't matter." Qianli didn't dwell too much on this issue.

As he said, his mission has been completed. How Yang Yan chooses is Yang Yan's business, but whether he mentions it or not is Qianli's business.

Qianli just asked Yang Yan to remember this matter.

Yang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

What he was most afraid of was Qianli telling Yang Yan to specialize in one system, or specialize in a general system.

Indeed, generally if you become an apprentice of a certain gym, then the apprentice of that gym will most likely specialize in this department, because in this way, the gym owner can give more instruction, and it is easier to learn the gym owner's housekeeping skills. ability.

It will definitely be of great benefit to the apprentice himself.

If this apprentice does not have a Pokémon with the same attributes as the gym owner, do you really have the nerve to say that you are an apprentice at this gym?

Will the owner really teach you sincerely?

Just think about it.

Yang Yan was also worried about this problem. He also thought about whether he should conquer a normal Pokémon, but in the end he didn't want to fool himself.

He has already thought about it, it doesn't matter even if Qianli doesn't teach him seriously.

Could it be that without Qianli, he wouldn't be able to become a powerful trainer?

ridiculous.

What kind of strength do you want to have? In the end, you can only rely on yourself?

After refuting Qianli's face, Yang Yan was ready to be beaten.

"Are you thinking that I will not teach you seriously?"

Qianli looked at Yang Yan, who was a little distracted, with a half-smile but not a smile.

"Master, you are joking. I was just thinking about which series I should specialize in if I specialize in one series. It's not what you think."

Yang Yan quickly changed the topic.

"Well," Qianli paused and then said, "Although you said you have no idea of ​​specializing in one series for the time being, I can give you some suggestions first as a reference."

"From the analysis of the Pokémon you have now, Baddie and Iron Mask are both Bug + Flying Pokémon, and they are also the Pokémon with the most attributes in your hand. If you choose these two, you will be ready now. There is a certain foundation.”

"As for the insect type, you should know that it takes shape quickly. If you want to become a gym leader or improve your trainer level as soon as possible, the insect type is a good choice."

"But unless your goal is just that, you definitely don't want to choose the insect type. After all, you know the shortcomings of the insect type."

"The flying type is a little better than the insect type. Choosing the flying type... I can only say that it is only slightly better."

Qianli didn't say everything, but Yang Yan already knew that the weakness of the flying type is actually quite obvious, that is, the flying type moves that flying type Pokémon can learn are relatively few, and there is currently no pure flying type Pokémon in the alliance illustrated book. A normal Pokémon.

The combat effectiveness of flying Pokémon actually relies more on skills of other attributes, so specializing in flying Pokémon is actually not much different from those like Yang Yan who are not specialized.

"Master, I thought you would suggest me to specialize in the general department!" Yang Yan scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Haha!" Qianli laughed loudly: "Yang Yan, do you know why I wanted to specialize in the general system in the first place?"
