Pokémon: The Climb

After each gym apprentice "graduates", if the gym owner feels that he or she has good abilities, he can directly recommend him to participate in the alliance conference in the region.

The alliance will then arrange an audit to confirm the person's strength. If you pass, you can directly participate in the tournament without going to the gym. If not, then of course you can go to the gym honestly.

This is the right of the gym owner, and it is also a compensation for those who have to study with the gym owner and do not have time to travel to the gym.

The league conference is divided into preliminary rounds and main rounds.

There is no limit on the number of people in the preliminaries, as many as there are applicants. Only the top 64 players from the preliminaries can participate in the main competition.

Gym apprentices who are recommended by the gym owner can only participate in the preliminaries, so it is not considered a big privilege.

In addition, there are colleges in various regions that have such direct quotas.

Yang Yan's ranger college also has this right. When he was in school, he heard that a sixth-grade senior was recommended by the college, but in the end he was eliminated without even making it into the main game.

It can be seen that regardless of whether you can directly participate in the conference, strength is the hard criterion.

The fact that Yang Yan and the others came here through the gym trial shows that they are qualified to be used by the gym owner to use this power.

This is why it makes sense when you think about it.

However, except for Yang Yan, none of them has a Pokémon in the team, and they cannot even meet the basic requirements to participate in the conference. The senior management did not even consider this and directly let them participate in the Kalos League Conference. Is it a bit unconsidered? ?

Judging from Gao Liu's face, it was obvious that he had something to say.

It's a pity that Akagi didn't give him a chance to speak, because this was an order.

The so-called command means that your idea doesn't matter, you just need to execute it.

Akagi continued: "Although you need to participate in the Carlos Alliance Conference, you do not have the right to participate directly. You still need to get 8 badges in the gym."

Everyone: "..."

"In addition, you not only need to visit the gym, but you also need to report to me all the information about Carlos you learned on the way, including but not limited to: unknown Pokémon, customs, landforms, historical legends, etc. .”

"Next, I will be your direct superior, and I will issue orders to you when necessary."

"So starting from tomorrow, you will be my subordinates," then he looked at Yang Yan and said, "However, except you, Omu Yang Yan, Dr. Nagai specially applied to let you be his assistant. Tomorrow you will Let’s go and report to Miare City.”

"But even so, you still need to participate in the tournament, so don't forget to go to the gym."

Yang Yan: "..."

"Okay, if you have any questions, ask them quickly." Akagi glanced at his watch: "You have 10 minutes."

None of them had any doubts about why Yang Yan was excluded, because they often couldn't find Yang Yan's people. Naturally, it didn't take long for them to know that Yang Yan had a relationship with Dr. Nagai and often went to his laboratory.

At this moment, the first person to ask questions was not the impatient Gao Liu, but Song Ming, who was frowning at the side.

"Excuse me, do we who are not gym representatives also participate in the conference?"

What Songming asked was exactly what Jiumei wanted to ask.

Not to mention a team of Pokémon, they are not even up to the level of Yang Yan and others. Even if they go to the conference, they will probably be in the first round.

As for people like Yang Yan and Gao Liu, they are probably at the level where they can participate in the main competition. How many places they can get depends on luck.

Regarding this question, Akagi did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Do you think what I just said is whether participating in the conference is more important, or what is said later is more important?"

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

The main force of the conference is still Yang Yan and the others. Kumi and the others are just "tool men" used by the alliance to obtain intelligence about Carlos.

Understanding this, Jiumei and the others were relieved. The number of Pokémon they had was a bit far from 6, and they didn't want to conquer them casually.

With such an arrangement, the alliance can be considered humane.

Gao Liu raised his hands and asked carefully: "I would like to ask, is there any money for working for the alliance?"

In fact, Takayanagi, Rina, and Shuju also don't have 6 Pokémon, especially Rina, who only has 3.

It's not that they can't accept the arrangement of participating in the conference, but it costs money to conquer and train new Pokémon. Most of their income as gym apprentices comes from completing tasks.

And what Akagi said just now, it is obvious that not much of their next time will truly belong to them.

How to train a team of Pokémon to participate in a tournament without a source of income?

Do they have to go and embarrass themselves?

Gao Liu believes that the alliance should at least be reasonable.

Akagi nodded: "Since you asked, let me tell you in advance that the salary for high-level strength trainers in the league is generally 15 per month, but you can only be regarded as outsourced personnel, so the monthly salary is only 10."

Takadera’s salary for Yohiko is 15, which is the same as what Akagi said, so it’s true.

Hearing that it was 10 per month, Gao Liu's face finally broke into a smile.

10 is just a drop in the bucket for the high-level Pokémon they have, and it is definitely more than enough to train new Pokémon.

Only Yang Yan could not get the money because he was excluded.

It's not that Yang Yan isn't unmoved, it's just that when he thinks of the fairy energy cube and this big piece of cake waiting for him, he feels much better.

"Now that we've talked about salary, let me talk about the rewards for this Alliance Conference mission, just to give you a little more motivation!"

When they heard that there were rewards, everyone held their breath and concentrated.

"This conference is the first alliance conference after the establishment of the Carlos Alliance. It will be held in May next year, exactly one month away from other regions. This means that you have less than 5 months to improve your treasure. Kemeng’s strength.”

"It is precisely because it is the first conference, and there are people from Kanto and other regions participating, so the Carlos Alliance generously presented the Key Stone and the Super Evolution Stone as rewards for the champion. As for what the Key Stone and Super Evolution Stone are, You will know about the evolutionary stone in the future."

"Of course, with so many people participating, the alliance never thought that any of you could take first place, so it doesn't matter whether you know or not."

Everyone: "..."

"Although I never thought you could win first place, I always have to give you some motivation to fight for it."

"For you, the Kanto Alliance has made a big investment this time."

"If any of you can reach the top 32 in the main competition, you will get a cash reward of 20; if you reach the top 16, you will get 40; if you reach the top 8, you can pick one after returning to Kanto. Pokémon with good-level qualifications; if you reach the top 4, you can choose a Pokémon with excellent-level qualifications; if you can reach the finals, you can get a Pokémon with perfect-level qualifications, regardless of winning or losing. So work hard!”

After listening to this, everyone was so excited that they couldn’t help themselves!

What Akagi said next was what really excited them to the point of explosion!
