Pokémon: The Climb

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Yan came to the deck on time.

"Yang Yan, this way!"

Before he saw anyone, Yang Yan heard Gao Liu's high-pitched shouts.

"How are you, Yang Yan, are you awake? Do you want to lie down and rest for a while?"

After Yang Yan came over, Gao Liu joked again.

Gao Liu and the others already knew that he didn't have a good rest last night. After all, Yang Yan was in really bad shape this morning.

"Thank you for your concern. I just finished my rest and am very awake now," Yang Yan took out his fishing rod and said with a smile, "How about we compare later and see who catches more."

"It's a competition, who is afraid of whom!" Gao Liu was not afraid at all.

"What's the comparison between the two of you who are the most skilled? No matter how you compare, it's just the difference between the last one and the second last one."

Kumi on the side interrupted with a smile.

"Compete with me if you have the skills to see who is better today!"

"Okay, I will compete with you, Yang Yan, and you too!"

Gao Liu's own promise was not enough, and he unceremoniously dragged Yang Yan along.

"You might as well add me, I also want to see how lucky I am today."

It was Yaki who spoke.

After that dinner, their relationship softened a lot.

Yashu didn't give Yang Yan any feeling against him anymore. In addition, Yashu always looked polite and everything was as he promised. Everything was based on their opinions, so everyone gradually accepted him.

As for Rina, after this period of contact, Yang Yan felt that she was just a shy girl.

Except for the differences in training and playing, at other times she is really like a shy and shy girl next door.

This kind of girl can easily win the favor of people around her.

Therefore, Kumi told Haruhiko privately that she suspected that what happened that day was Yaki's fault and had nothing to do with Rina.

Even Rina herself was fooled by Yaki's "self-assertive" behavior.

So Kumi has sympathy for Rina.

Of course, it could also be that there are only three girls among them, so they are naturally closer to each other.

This can be seen from their positions.

The ones on the left are all girls, and the ones on the right are all boys.

Although Yang Yan came last, he was between Gao Liu and Ya Shu.

Although he didn't ask, he felt that there was a high probability that Yasuki had left the position specially.

To Takayanagi's left is Matsaki, followed by Kumi, Rina, and Morizumi.

Shouzhu, in fact, Yang Yan has gained a lot of understanding about him through contact with him in the past few days.

In the past, Yang Yan would subconsciously ignore the existence of this person. Later, he quietly asked Jiumei. After thinking about it, Jiumei found that she had a similar situation, but it was not as exaggerated as Yang Yan.

Therefore, Yang Yan asked Jiu Mei to find out more about Shouzhu.

Shouzhu didn't mean to hide it, so he told Jiumei generously.

Shouzhu said that this method of reducing the sense of existence was given to her by her teacher, the former insect gym leader in Ming City.

This is an ability that her teacher has mastered after years of exploration.

Bug-type Pokémon are naturally weak, so in order to survive, they need to avoid possible enemies at all times.

In this way, they naturally know how to reduce their sense of existence.

The gym leader learned this ability from insect-type Pokémon.

In addition, the reason why the museum owner cares so much about presence is because of the environment in which they live.

As I said before, Yuanming City was a city developed in recent years. It used to be the territory of wild Pokémon.

Things like territory need to be fought for with blood.

It is precisely because of this that in the beginning, attacks by wild Pokémon often occurred in their city, so almost everyone was in danger at all times.

In this regard, it is very similar to Bug-type Pokémon.

The gym owner also understood this, so he learned about this ability from insect-type Pokémon.

Of course, the situation in Yuanming City is now much better than before. At least you no longer have to worry about your safety being threatened all the time when you stay in the city.

And the gym owner did not give up on continuing to study this ability because of this, because as a trainer, it is essential to go to the wild for experience. If you have this ability by your side, your own safety will undoubtedly be improved to a higher level.

I heard that the owner of the museum has been able to make it so that even if he stands 5 meters away from you, you will not notice it at all unless you are facing him.

Obviously, Shouzhu is far from reaching this level.

After listening to this, Yang Yan felt that this ability was indeed quite useful, but it seemed to have many similarities with the hidden abilities of ninjas.

So does the gym owner plan to become a ninja in the end?

Yang Yan felt that he and A'jue, the leader of Qian Hong Gym, would be able to chat easily.

By the way, the current Ah Ju is not the Poison King in Chengdu, this is something Yang Yan later checked.

Looking back to the deck.

While Yang Yan and the others were chatting, they would glance at the fishing rods in their hands from time to time.

"Haha, my rod is hooked!"

While he was talking, Gao Liu stood up excitedly and stared at the sea.

As the first person to catch a fish today, Gao Liu was very excited.

Because last time, as Kumi said, he caught the least of all, one less Magikarp than Yang Yan.

Do you think he would be unhappy if he had the chance to turn over this time?

Yang Yan didn't care about this.

Although he had learned fishing skills from some people on the boat before, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Because 99% of the Pokémon he caught were not very qualified, there was no need to conquer them, so he didn't pay much attention to fishing later on.

They regard it more as a relaxing pastime, so naturally they don’t care much whether they can catch it or not.

"Okay, Gao Liu, I'm the first one to 'open' today!" Yang Yan said with a smile.

"That's right, I said last time that I didn't perform well. This time I want you to see my strength!"

Gao Liu's face was full of confidence when he smiled.

"Hey, you took the bait too?" Yashu also spoke at this time.

"mine too!"

"Me and mine!"

Rina and Kumi spoke almost at the same time.

At this time, Yang Yan found that the fishing rod in his hand was also moving.

"Mine is also hooked? What happened?" As he said that, Yang Yan immediately grabbed the fishing rod before he had time to think about it.

"Isn't this the place where a certain Pokémon lives?" Song Ming gritted his teeth and said, because his rod was also hooked.

Or rather, all of their rods were hooked.

"Haha, it seems that God is blessing us today!"

Gao Liu shouted as he pulled the fishing rod hard, and a Carp King was easily pulled out of the water.

"Damn it, what is this thing, why is it so heavy?"

Yang Yan suddenly discovered that no matter how hard he tried, the end of the fishing rod seemed to be fixed and could not be pulled.

"Look, there seems to be a shadow under the water?"

"Damn it, they won't come up and attack us together, right?"

"I think it would be better to give up the fishing rod now..."

Before he finished speaking, the sea began to surge violently, as if something was floating up!

Yang Yan lowered his head, suddenly startled.

"This is Gyarados?!"
