Pokémon: The Climb

Since the Gym Trials are not an open competition, there will naturally be no awards or other forms.

Everything behaved blandly.

The next day, Yang Yan left Quartz Plateau and prepared to go to Chengdu.

Although he has not received any news from the Rockets so far, if he goes to Chengdu early, at least he can get the matter settled early after being contacted by the other party.

By the way, he also wanted to find out why Team Rocket asked him to kill this person. What was special about this person and how he offended Team Rocket? Yang Yan was very interested.

This is also to prevent himself from being tricked by the Rockets.

Because if they ask Yang Yan to deal with someone from a big family or someone with alliance background, it will be a big trouble.

So just in case, Yang Yan also needs to weigh whether to cooperate with Team Rocket or give up the mission and become the enemy of Team Rocket.

After passing through two cities, Yang Yan changed his makeup.

As "Siwu", I took Ibrahimovic to Pingfu City.

This is also a port city, but its reputation is far worse than that of Kuye City.

In order to avoid getting involved with Team Rocket again, or to be found out by the other party, Yang Yan decided to bypass Kuye City, a city where Team Rocket had been operating for a long time, and take a boat to Chengdu from somewhere else.

Fortunately, Chengdu and Guandong are very close, so there are boats going back and forth between the two places basically every day, so there will be no delays.

Five days later, Yang Yan came to Jihua Market.

This city has appeared in anime. It is said to be a city, but in fact it is just a larger town.

But it is also a city near the sea, so Yang Yan landed here.

When he came here, Yang Yan did not go anywhere else, but was ready to find a place to settle down here, ready to receive notifications from Team Rocket at any time.

Originally, he thought he would have to wait for a long time, but he didn't expect that someone from Team Rocket would call soon.

The other party told him that the person he wanted to deal with had appeared in Huibi Town and asked him to rush there quickly.

At the same time, a piece of basic information about the person he wanted to kill was sent to his mobile phone.

After hearing this, Yang Yan felt a little familiar with the place Huibi Town. After checking it, he realized that it was indeed one of the cities that appeared in the anime.

But there is no gym, because this city leads to Kaji Town. The gym leader in Kaji Town is none other than Liu Bo, an extremely powerful trainer.

From the information he learned in his previous life, Yang Yan knew that Liu Bo was a trainer who was powerful enough to rival the Four Heavenly Kings.

The reason why Uncle Liu is a museum owner and is located in a small town like Kaji Town, which is not prosperous, is because this is Uncle Liu's request. On the other hand, this place is very special.

What's so special about it? Because not far from Kaji Town is one of the Rockets' large bases in Chengdu, the Angry Lake Base!

The red Gyarados crossing is the experimental product of this base.

Of course, Yang Yan doesn't know how far this experiment has progressed.

But I guess it's still early.

After figuring out the location, Yang Yan opened the information sent by the other party.

The information inside is very simple, a few photos of each other from the side or from a distance, names, and commonly used Pokémon.

As for the identity of the other party, no!

The Rockets made it clear they didn't want to tell him.

See photos. This man was at least 30 years old, but he was not tall and his body was relatively thin, but his eyes were sharp, he looked sharp, and he was always vigilant.

Judging from the photo, this person is most likely a member of the underground world. This actually made Yang Yan breathe a sigh of relief, because this way, he would have an easier choice.

This man's name is Shancheng, and he usually uses two Pokémon, namely Gyarados and Arbor, the former is of high-level strength and the latter is of intermediate level. There is also a Mahuola that was Shancheng's previous main force, but it is said that after a battle, Shancheng never used this Pokémon again, and it was suspected of death.

"The word 'suspected' is very questionable." Yang Yan touched his chin.

Yang Yan felt that if it were him, it would be entirely possible to hide a powerful Pokémon as a backup.

This is called the so-called trump card.

It can save lives at critical moments.

It didn't say anything about Ma Xuanla's strength, but Yang Yan guessed that it was at least a high-level one, and a relatively high-level one.

"A person who can possess such a powerful Pokémon can do well even in underground forces. So how did he get into trouble with Team Rocket?" Yang Yan murmured.

Pokémon that can possess high-level strength in the dark world can at least have a good position in some forces. The ability to assess the situation is the most basic.

Unable to figure it out, Yang Yan decided not to think about it. He should find the other party first.

The opponent's strength is not weak, and Yang Yan can't even guarantee that he will be able to defeat him. People from the dark world like Shan Cheng have too many weird abilities, and he can't guarantee that he won't fall victim to them.

Of course, the opponent is in the light and he is in the dark. This is an undeniable advantage.

The premise is that Yang Yan can find him.

After checking out of the room, Yang Yan headed directly to the station.

Huibi Town is located inland in the Chengdu area. It is relatively far away from here, and it is an area with many mountains and rocks, so it takes a lot of time to get there.

Yang Yan only arrived in the city on the 6th day.

Before he came here, he put on the mask that represented "Sugima". Because this face became more and more known, it meant that Team Rocket also knew it, so it was natural to act with this identity.

Before coming here, Yang Yan contacted the other party again to see if he could meet with the Rockets here, but he was rejected by the other party.

The other party just told him that the Rockets would not interfere in everything and let him handle it by himself.

Judging from the other party's attitude, Yang Yan was more confident that there was indeed no Rockets personnel stationed here.

Otherwise, Shan Cheng wouldn't have chosen to hide here, right?

He didn't believe that Shan Cheng didn't know that the Rockets were looking for him, because then he would not be alive now.

There must be a reason why the other party chose to settle here.

Yang Yan guessed that Shan Cheng wanted to play tricks under the lamp.

After all, it's not far from Team Rocket's Lake of Anger base.

But Uncle Liu's presence made the Rockets avoid stirring up trouble around them.

So this area is both dangerous and safe. Doesn’t it meet the conditions of being dark under the light?

Yang Yan came here, playing the role of an ordinary trainer passing by.

After finding a small hotel and settling down, Yang Yan pretended to be wandering around while looking around the place.

Found nothing.

Of course, Shan Cheng must have disguised his true identity here, and it would take Yang Yan a lot of time to find him out.

Two days later.

Yang Yan sat in front of the hotel window, holding a cup of tea and sipping it carefully.

Normally, Yang Yan would be training Pokémon during this time, but that was not possible during this time.

Because he has a large number of Pokémon, training requires renting a large training room, which is not consistent with his status as an ordinary trainer.

So in the past few days, Yang Yan only occasionally pretended to take Longlong Stone and Nido King to the training hall. As for the training of other Pokémon, I can only put it aside for the time being.

Just in time, the little fire horses and the others finally had time to take a break.

Sometimes stopping for a while and quietly sorting out the energy in the body may not be a good way to practice.
