Pokémon: The Climb

"You want to compete in the gym competition, right?" The waiter heard Yang Yan's question and immediately knew Yang Yan's purpose: "Don't bother, look over there, there is a battle gym there, and a competition with higher strength is being held inside. In the battle between Pokémon, as long as you can win 3 games in a row, you can then fight against Master Cocobol. If you win, you can also get the gym badge. In addition, you are also eligible to compete for the final grand prize - good level qualification. Where’s the Pokémon!”

"Oh, a Pokémon with good level qualifications?" Yang Yan asked pretending to be interested, "Is this a reward because of the festival?"

"No," the waiter said excitedly, "This is what Mr. Cocobul personally promised. How can it be false?"

"Tell me, what is the specific situation? How many people are eligible to compete now? What kind of Pokémon is that good-level Pokémon?"

"I really don't know about this. After all, you have seen it. I still have work here, so I don't have time to go to the battle hall. As for what kind of Pokémon it is, don't think about it, it must be a fighting type!"

Yang Yan talked with the waiter for a long time and learned a lot of information.

Yang Yan didn't care about the good-level Pokémon. What he cared about was the gym competition and whether he could see Super Lucario.

After receiving the news, Yang Yan did not rush to the battle hall, but slowly and leisurely ate high-end meals while enjoying the battle and performance below with the two Pokémon.

It wasn't until two hours later that Yang Yan lost all interest and left here, going to the battle hall that the waiter had just pointed out.

Compared with the outside, there are much fewer people in the battle hall, but the atmosphere here is not inferior to the outside at all. Even because there are trainers here who are keen on fighting, it gives Yang Yan a more passionate feeling.

All kinds of cheering sounds, shouts, and skills clashing sounds are endless. People who don't know better think that a big fight is happening here.

"Hello, sir, are you here to participate in the battle match, or do you just want to watch the battle match?"

As soon as Yang Yan arrived at the venue hall, a staff member next to him grabbed him.

"I heard that if you win 3 games in a row here, you can challenge the gym leader, right?" Yang Yan didn't say whether he wanted to participate in the battle match or be a spectator, but wanted to confirm first whether what the waiter said was true. .

"You are right." The staff explained: "Although these days are festivals, there are still many people who want to challenge the gym, but Master Cocobul is too busy, and there are too many things that require his intervention, so I want to use this method to reduce the number of battles we need to do every day.”

The staff thought that Yang Yan was worried that he could not win three games in a row and was dissatisfied with Lord Cocobul. After all, this method was equivalent to screening trainers and did not comply with the rules set by the alliance that everyone could participate in the gym competition.

In the past few days, there have been many trainers who have fought many battles here but still have not obtained the qualification. They said a lot of unpleasant things, and the battle hall had no choice but to ask them to try their best to explain to each trainer first. A vaccination.

"So that's it."

Yang Yan didn't understand why it was so troublesome to compete in the gym competition before, but now that he knows the reason, he even sympathizes with Cocobul.

The job of a gym trainer is much more difficult than many people imagine. The job is complex and busy, and if you can't do it well, you will easily be hated by others. It is really not easy.

Unless the restless enthusiasm in your heart subsides and you plan to choose a place to settle down, it's better not to insist on being a gym trainer.

Yang Yan had not considered becoming a gym trainer before, but now he felt that becoming a ranger was much better than becoming a trainer, at least he would have less to worry about.

Of course, this is a comparison apart from the income of the two.

"I plan to participate in the competition, do you have any requirements?" Yang Yan asked.

"Then which level do you want to participate in, the intermediate level or the advanced level?"

Although the staff asked specifically because of work needs, he already thought that Yang Yan would choose the mid-level venue.

Who made Yang Yan too young?

"Advanced venue."

"Mid...what, what, high-level venue?" The staff suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Yeah, is there a problem?"

"No, no problem." The staff member pointed, "Come with me."

The staff respectfully led Yang Yan to where the high-end establishment was.

With his help, Yang Yan, after registering the information, sat in the viewing area and started waiting.

There were 10 people ahead of him.

If there weren't several battles at the same time, it would still take a long time to get his turn.

The battle is in the form of 1V1. This method can save a lot of time and make it easier for the loser to start over.

After communicating with people around me, I learned that until now, no one has been qualified to challenge the owner of the hall.

It's not that this qualification is really that difficult to obtain, but that these people have already played many games here. They are familiar with each other about what Pokémon they have and their strength, so it is already difficult to maintain a winning streak.

Those powerful trainers have basically fought against the gym leader once. Without those people, losers like them would just be the generals among the short ones.

Yang Yan waited for nearly 40 minutes before it was his turn.

His opponent is a trainer in his 20s named Uchiyama who has won two consecutive victories.

Uchiyama had a tough fight in the first two games, and both Pokémon were seriously injured after the battle.

But don’t worry about it, after all, there are other Pokémon in Uchiyama.

The Pokémon used by the local trainers in Sala City are mostly water-type and fighting-type.

The former is because of its proximity to the sea, and the latter is due to the influence of the Cocobul family.

Uchiyama is a local, and the Pokémon he uses happens to be the Fighting type.

Yang Yan does not plan to use the two flying types, Baddie or Iron-faced Ninja, but also plans to use the fighting type.

The fighting type civil war is quite interesting to fight.

"The battle between Trainer Uchiyama and Trainer Oki Yohiko begins now. There is only 1 Pokémon that can be used. When one of the Pokémon loses the ability to fight, the battle ends. Now please both parties send out Pokémon at the same time!"

"Go, my ace, Wrestling Eagle Man!"

"Flame Chicken, it's up to you!"

Pokémon from both sides appeared on the competition stage at the same time. The proud and tall Flame Rooster made many viewers excited as soon as it appeared.

"You actually have a flame chicken?" A trace of surprise flashed across Uchiyama's face, but he quickly smiled and said: "What about the flame chicken? Isn't the attribute restrained by my Wrestling Eagle Man? Just in time to defeat you and complete my three consecutive rounds. Win!"

The Wrestling Eagle, also known as the Fighting Bird, has fighting and flying attributes. Although it has the flying ability, it cannot fly and can only glide. In Yang Yan's eyes, it is not even as good as Carlos's home bird.

"Since you know about the Flame Chicken, you should know that the Flame Chicken can also learn certain flying skills, right?" Yang Yan raised the corner of his mouth: "So your attribute advantage is nothing in front of the Flame Chicken!"
