Pokémon: The Climb

After a while, Xiaohui came over to inform Yang Yan that Li Jia wanted to talk to him about the gym trials.

This time it was just him and Li Jia, which made him feel a little more relaxed.

He told Li Jia again what he had learned in the past two days.

After Li Jia found out, she didn't directly show any worry. She just told Yang Yan to be more careful and then let him go back.

In the final analysis, being strong is the key.

It was around 8 a.m. the next day.

Yang Yan, Li Jia and his entourage met up and headed to the Alliance Building.

Under the leadership of the waiter, they came to a separate small building inside. The waiter told them that tomorrow's game would also be held here.

Yang Yan and the others came relatively late. As soon as they came in, many people looked at them.

"Isn't this the owner of Lijia Hall? It's been such a long time!"

Although Li Jia is young, her qualifications as a museum owner are not low at all. She has very good relationships with many museum owners in Kanto.

The person who just spoke was a man in his thirties, and there were several people behind him.

Obviously, this person is also a museum owner.

"Hello, Master Beidao, we haven't seen each other for a while."

Li Jia's words also let the people following him know the identity of the person coming.

Yang Yan didn't know this person. To be precise, he was not included in the information Li Jia gave him, so his gym attributes could be ruled out. Not grass type.

At this time, several more gym leaders came up to say hello to Li Jia, and Li Jia responded politely one by one.

Among them was a grass-type gym leader whom Yang Yan knew.

As for the others, Yang Yan looked around and found only two, and one seemed to have not arrived yet.

Although most of them know each other, because they are now competitors, the owners of the same attribute rarely chat with each other.

On the contrary, there is nothing to be shy about with other hall owners.

Among them, Lijia’s side has the most people.

After all, among the gym leaders present, Shulijia is the most beautiful and friendly, so she will naturally be welcomed by most people.

Of course, the chat between them will inevitably involve the apprentices they brought over to the gym.

Complimenting each other is indispensable.

After all, he is not his competitor, so it is only right to say some nice words on the scene.

As the representative of Yuhong Gym, Yang Yan was naturally pulled out by Li Jia to get to know everyone.

His elegant and generous performance also won praise from many museum owners.

Finally, Yuhong Gym’s face was not lost.

After a while, several dignified-looking people walked in.

Seeing the visitor, these museum owners stopped joking and suddenly became serious.

"How are you guys doing lately? Is the work at the gym going smoothly? If you have any questions, feel free to report them at any time."

The leader scanned everyone present with his eyes. Although he was smiling, he gave people a sense of distance from strangers.

"Yang Yan, he is one of the heads of our Kanto Alliance, the head of Kuno who specializes in the pipeline hall!" Kumi introduced to Yang Yan in a low voice.

Yang Yan raised his eyebrows, and then he understood why everyone present stopped talking after this person arrived.

Within the alliance, the head of the headquarters is the position second only to the highest-ranking "president" in the alliance.

Extremely powerful.

Although the alliances in each region have more than 20 headquarters directors due to different functions, the right to speak between the headquarters directors is still very different.

For example, Kuno, who was in charge of the pipe hall, and Hirakawa, who was in charge of the military, whom Yang Yan had met before, were both very powerful.

Of course, they are different from the familiar Joey who is in charge of medical care and Junsha who is in charge of city security, who have dominated these two departments all year round.

Competition in other sectors is even greater.

So it's no wonder that this man exudes an aura so strong that others dare not look at him easily.

Kuno walked slowly, greeting many gym leaders with smiles along the way.

Every gym leader mentioned by Kuno responded with a cautious look on his face.

Li Jia is naturally no exception.

The only difference is that Li Jia's good training makes her behave extremely calmly, which is in sharp contrast to many gym leaders.

As for those like Yang Yan and others who came with their own hall owners, because they didn't know what kind of person Kuno was and what kind of skills he had, they behaved better than many hall owners.

For many people, the few minutes that Kuno walked to the front desk were as difficult as a day.

After that, Kuno talked about the significance of holding this gym trial and other opening nonsense that all leaders should know before turning to the main topic.

That is, the rules of the selection competition.

First of all, because even the most insect-type gyms only have 8, and the number of people is not large, in order to select the gym with the strongest overall strength, the competition will be conducted in the fairest way, a round-robin competition.

In other words, everyone needs to play a game with all opponents.

A win will result in 2 points, a tie will result in 1 point, and a loss will result in no points.

The final ranking is determined by points.

Many people have guessed this.

To everyone's surprise, the battle method was not the more traditional 1v1, but a 2v2 doubles battle.

Kuno explained that the reason for using the doubles format is that multiple games can be combined into one to save time.

Secondly, there are more tactics available in doubles, which makes it more enjoyable to watch, and it is easier to reflect the overall quality of a trainer.

Although Kuno was right, everyone was inevitably murmuring in their hearts.

After all, doubles battles are not mainstream in Kanto at all. Many people have not only never played it, but have basically never watched it.

The gym owners have basically never trained their apprentices in this aspect, so they have to be a little worried.

In addition, regarding the battle, Kuno also has a requirement, that is, one of the Pokémon participating in the battle must have the same attributes as those in the gym.

No one cares about this at all.

Because this is the most basic thing for everyone.

After talking about the rules, the next step is the order of battle.

People like Yang Yan and others who need to play need to report their information. Kuno will arrange for someone to record it on the spot and randomly select the order of the battle on the spot.

To ensure fairness.

It was only at this time that Yang Yan saw his opponents.

One of them is the person who appears in the information provided by Li Jia. He is under 20 years old and has a thin figure. At first glance, no one would regard him as a threatening opponent.

But since he can represent the gym, Yang Yan feels that he cannot be underestimated, even if he has his information.

As for the other three, Yang Yan didn't recognize any of them.

He was roughly certain that these three people had not appeared in the guest house before.

The reason is easy to guess.

Among these three people, there is only one boy.

But he was different from the one just now. He was very handsome, and he looked similar to Yang Yan when he put on the "Siwu" mask.

As for the two girls, they both seem to have a quiet personality, and they are even a little shy. I don't know if it is because there are handsome guys around them.

After drawing lots, Yang Yan's battle order came out.

That handsome guy is his first opponent tomorrow morning, and this game is also the first between the five of them.

Then there was a battle with the two girls, and in the end it was the skinny boy's turn.
