Pokémon: The Climb

My name is Shancheng.

Today, I am 20 years old.

From this day on, I am the same as those guys who whipped me.

Yes, I got promoted.

But from that day on, I lost my last friend, Xiao Jin, because I was no longer me, but Xiao Jin was still the same Xiao Jin.

My life has gotten better, but I still stay underground most of the time, because when I go above ground, I just feel confused. I don't know where I should go or what I should do.

Only underground can give me a feeling of being alive.

Another two years have passed.

I thought my life would stay like this until the end of my life.

But the unexpected happened again.

I don't know what kind of group of people attacked the breeding house.

The opponent was very strong and we were defeated. So I, who survived, became a prisoner.

Xiao Jin did not survive because he died in front of me with his Dark Crow in order to protect me.

"Live!"

Xiao Jin only left these words in the end.

At the last moment, I even saw relief in his eyes.

It was also at that time that I felt that my heart, which had been sealed for a long time, seemed to be opened, and the emotions that had disappeared were returning little by little.

Going too far again.

Returning to reality, I became a prisoner because I had the ability to tame Pokémon, so I was forcibly taken under their wing.

This is an organization called the Aquatics Team.

The leader's name is Minamizu, hence the organization's name.

There are many organizations that use their leader as their name. I didn’t know this until later.

Although I have changed my job, I am still doing the same job. As long as the treatment is not worse than before, I won't mind.

Because I don’t have much sense of belonging there.

The original purpose was just to eat enough, and it is the same now.

But unexpectedly, not long after, the water team was also wiped out by a more powerful organization.

It was my good luck to escape.

Also became a wanderer again.

At the beginning, relying on what I learned, I lived a peaceful wandering life for a period of time. It was also during that time that I saw the nature of the world clearly.

Because I have already matured.

So in order to ensure my own safety, I took the initiative to join the strongest force I knew - the Jinshan Team!

With all my abilities, I began to gain a foothold in the Jinshan team step by step and began to learn to master power.

I don’t know why, but I began to want to seek justice for those who had caused me to become like this.

The first one to bear the brunt is naturally the Alliance. Unfortunately, I don’t have the ability to overthrow the Alliance. But it can still be done by causing a little trouble for it.

Soon, with the ability of the Jinshan team, I found out where the people from the previous orphanage were now.

So I came to them one by one to settle the accounts they owed me and my companions who were no longer alive.

But the most important dean, the dean who personally crossed out our names from the orphanage's list, heard that he had joined Team Rocket!

It's the Rockets who are trying to seize our territory in Chengdu from Guandong.

I don’t know what the Rockets promised that made that guy choose to help an outside organization.

The Rockets are very strong, I have to admit that, but the major organizations in Chengdu are not vegetarians. Together, they can even compete with each other.

But it was also because of the war that the Jinshan team's strength declined seriously, and the leader even changed.

In the past few years in the Jinshan team, in addition to doing my old job and mastering power, I also learned some other skills.

These include assassinations.

Of course, poison is used instead of direct confrontation.

It took me a month to finally find an opportunity to poison the dean.

I thought I had done it without anyone noticing, but I was too naive, and I didn’t expect that Team Rocket would still find the flaw.

So that group of lunatics no longer cared about other forces and targeted the Jinshan team.

Fortunately, the Jinshan team was blocking me in front, so I was fine for the time being.

I never imagined that that damn guy was so important to the Rockets that it would trigger crazy revenge from the other side.

Because on the battlefield, many people died on both sides.

But what he didn't understand was that this person was indispensable for the Rockets to gain a foothold in Chengdu.

If the Rockets do not respond to this matter, then those Chengdu locals who still want to join the Rockets in the future will have to think more about the consequences.

In the end, the Jinshan team was unable to block the Rockets' attack and was almost completely wiped out.

And he Shancheng escaped again.

He wants to live, not only for himself, but also for those who were his former companions.

He has never forgotten Xiao Jin's words of "live on".

Thanks to the strength of the Jinshan team and his own status as captain of the Jinshan team, he has collected a lot of good things over time.

In addition to poisoning and assassination, there are also books on disguise, escape, and things related to Pokémon cultivation, as well as some miscellaneous cultivation books.

These things have value, and they are of great value, but he is alone, so for him, these things are just one of the capitals that keep him alive.

For example, if he wanders again, how can he survive and still ensure his safety?

The easiest way is undoubtedly to become the most ordinary person in the world, just like the person he was before losing his parents.

With the strength of the Jinshan team, it is not difficult to get such a fake identity, provided that the league does not strictly check this identity.

He had prepared for such an identity in advance.

A drug farmer who does not live in villages or towns for a long time.

The medicinal material grown by his identity is called black glass flower, which is one of the raw materials for making evil energy cubes.

There are not many on the market, but not many.

Mainly because Chengdu has limited demand for evil energy cubes.

In addition, his starting Pokémon Murkrow happened to be evil-type, so he was relatively familiar with it. I don’t think it’s difficult to disguise.

He traveled several places and finally settled on Huibi Town.

He rented a medium-sized field at the edge of Huibi Town.

The external rhetoric was that the other party who had previously rented the land in another city had stopped renting it, so he came to Huibi Town.

He was planning to settle down as a medicine farmer, but unexpectedly he stumbled upon a strange person in the past few days.

Because you have to hide here, you naturally need to know this place well to ensure that you can detect danger when it comes.

Therefore, he often travels to various places in the town these days, and uses his good brain to memorize local people, so as long as there are new faces in the town, he can notice them.

No, he soon noticed an extremely ordinary-looking trainer with a Nidoking and a Rumble Stone.

Why do you notice it? Mainly because that person, as a traveling trainer, stayed here for too long, and often wandered around the town as if he were just like him.

He decided to observe for two more days to determine the opponent's strength and purpose before deciding whether to take action.

Because if someone dies here, it will attract Junsha's attention, which is not good for him.

So even if you want to kill, you have to find a good time.
