Pokémon: The Climb

"By the way, didn't Shouzhu come with you?"

Yashu looked around and didn't see Shouju, so he asked.

"She hasn't come yet, but since she agreed, she won't be late, don't worry." Jiumei replied.

"Naruto, Narina, please take a few of them in first. I'll wait at the door." Yaki said to Rina behind him.

Rina nodded, then looked at the others: "Everyone, please come in and sit down first."

"Then let's go in first!" Gao Liu couldn't wait to walk inside.

Yang Yan smiled and said: "You also said that you are not here for the food!"

"Nonsense, I'm thirsty and want to drink water!"

Gao Liu's "righteous words" made everyone laugh.

Although Rina also smiled, Yang Yan could tell that her smile was a little forced.

Even from the moment he saw her, Yang Yan felt that she was not very interested.

I don't know if it's because they lost the previous battle, or because they feel sorry for their previous behavior.

"By the way Rina, I've always wanted to ask you how you felt when you fought against the guy from Carlos. Please tell me quickly so that I can be more prepared when I challenge him next time." Takayanagi's eyes were filled with anticipation. said.

When Song Ming saw this scene, he couldn't help but scratch his head.

Yang Yan felt that Song Ming must be feeling emotional at this moment, Gao Liu really couldn't help but lift the pot.

However, Rina said calmly: "He is very strong. In the previous battle, he firmly controlled the rhythm. Even though I reviewed the game several times later, I still couldn't find a way to turn defeat into victory. And I feel , I’m afraid his Madam Hua Jie’s strength is still somewhat reserved, so if you want to challenge him, you must be more careful.”

"It's pretty much the same as my analysis, but my fire Pokémon just restrains his Lady Hua Jie, so even if he still hides something, I'm confident that I can fight."

"The only thing I'm worried about is his other Pokémon. If he has something that can suppress the fire type and I don't know the Pokémon, that would be a headache."

Song Ming actually knew that he didn't care at all about what Gao Liu said. For Gao Liu, it was fine if he could fight, and it didn't matter whether he won or lost.

But it was mainly because Takayanagi couldn't find where Takeshita was, otherwise he wouldn't have come to ask Rina.

Yang Yan looked at Gao Liu talking to himself and suddenly remembered that until now, except for a limited number of people, others still think that Mrs. Hua Jie has grass attributes.

"Everyone, please take a seat. We have wine and drinks. You can drink whatever you want."

Rina obviously knew very little about what was going on at these wine tables, otherwise she would not just talk but not act.

"Forget it about drinking. Drinking will delay tomorrow's training. I'd better drink!"

Gao Liu directly picked up a bottle of drink on the table, poured a glass for himself, and drank it in one gulp, as if to correspond to what he said before.

"Ah, it feels so good!" Gao Liu exclaimed and said with a smile, "Come on, you guys should try it too, this drink is really good!"

With that said, he started pouring it for others.

Yang Yan took a bite and it was indeed good.

Then, a few people chatted casually, but no one moved their chopsticks.

Because not everyone arrived.

Everyone still understands this etiquette.

Not long after, Shouzhu and Yashu finally came over.

Yang Yan glanced at the time, it was exactly 9 o'clock.

"The pinch was really on time!"

"Come on, Shouzhu, sit here."

Jiumei asked Shouzhu to sit next to her.

Shouzhu took advantage of the situation and sat there.

"Why don't you all drink drinks? That's not okay. I specially got this bottle of wine from the chef. Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't drink it?"

Yashu immediately saw the unopened wine bottle on the table. He picked up the bottle and said, "Forget it about girls, it's unreasonable for boys not to drink!"

Gao Liu waved his hand: "We don't know how to drink. If this wine is really good, it would be a waste for us to drink it. Drinking will also delay my training tomorrow, so let's forget it!"

"You can't drink good wine if you don't understand? What do you call this, brother Takayanagi?" Yashu didn't care about what Takayanagi said and opened the bottle directly: "Don't worry, the low-alcohol wine I specially asked for will not affect you if you drink a little. Until your training tomorrow!”

Saying that, Yaju started pouring the wine.

He poured 4 cups directly in front of him before picking them up one by one and placing them in front of others.

Such behavior is very difficult to refuse.

In this world, although one can travel at the age of 10, this age is not considered an adult.

In this world, adults are officially considered adults only when they are 16 years old, and they can drink alcohol, even marry and have children.

As for everyone sitting here, if Yang Yan remembers correctly, he is the only one who is a minor.

Of course, Yang Yan wouldn't even bother using this method to refuse drinking.

"Everyone, to show my sincerity, I will drink the first cup first as a token of respect!"

Returning to his seat, Yaki raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

This makes everyone believe that the alcohol content is not high.

When others drank, Yang Yan and the others were embarrassed and didn't express their feelings, so they all drank a little symbolically.

Jiumei pulled Yang Yan under the table because she knew that Yang Yan was not yet an adult.

"Don't worry, Sister Jiumei, I'm sensible." Yang Yan whispered.

Yang Yan said this, and Jiumei knew that her reminder was clear to Yang Yan. After all, Yang Yan had proven that he was a thoughtful person.

"Come on, let's try these dishes. I guarantee that every dish is delicious!" Yashu greeted everyone to use their chopsticks.

Everyone was indeed hungry, so they started to eat.

Yang Yan tasted a few, and they all tasted good. It seemed that Yasuki had really invested in today.

During the meal, Yashu almost dominated the entire atmosphere.

After knowing that the alcohol content was not high, Gao Liu drank a few more glasses, while Yang Yan and Song Ming only drank a symbolic amount each time.

Most of the entire bottle of wine was drunk by Yashu, but Yang Yan felt as if he hadn't drunk at all, and he was still very sober.

During the meal, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves happily. If someone were passing by, they might really think they were good friends.

But Yang Yan, as a party involved, could easily feel the sense of violation contained in it.

The first is Rina. As one of the hosts today, she hardly spoke during the whole process and ate very little food. Yaki was almost always in charge.

The other one is Shouzhu, who is only a little better than Rina. If it weren't for Kumi who would say a few words to her from time to time, Yang Yan might have subconsciously ignored this person's existence.

After everyone stopped moving their chopsticks, Yaki finally got to the point.

"Has everyone eaten?"

"When you're done eating, just listen to what I say and treat it as a digestion for everyone."

"It can be said that we are very lucky to know each other and carry out such an arduous task together this time. I hope that we can work together in the future to successfully complete this task."

"If you need any help from us, just ask. As long as it doesn't violate the principles, we are willing to help."

"After all, we are a team from now on. Everyone's decision is my decision, and we will definitely abide by it!"
