Pokémon: The Climb

"You kid, you are trying to back off!" Cocobul nodded at Yang Yan and said with a smile, "You have experienced a lot of these things, why? Are you still pretending to be like me?"

Yang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked calmly: "Master, have you investigated me?"

"Yes, I just learned a little bit about it," Cocobul said unabashedly: "But even if I don't understand, I know that you have experienced these things."

"How can this be?"

Somehow, looking at Cocobul, Yang Yan instantly felt like all his secrets were hidden.

Cocobul turned his head to look at the sea and said slowly: "This is because of the power of the waveguide. When I super evolved with Lucario, I felt the darkness hidden in your heart through its waveguide. And like this I’ve met a lot of people, and they’re usually people involved in these things!”

"This..." Yang Yan was shocked and speechless.

Can the power of waveguide detect this information? This is too powerful and terrifying, right? !

"Kokobul suspected that I was involved with underground forces, so he dragged me here? Or did he think that I was one of the participants in this matter and wanted to get some information from me?" Yang Yan My mind was spinning rapidly, and thoughts were swirling: "No! If this is really the case, why are you still treating me so politely?"

Cocobul looked over again and said, "I think you came to Salo City because you got some news, right?"

Yang Yan kept silent. He really didn't know what to say because he didn't know what Cocobule guessed or knew.

But in fact, he didn't say anything, but it seemed like a default gesture.

"I know that it is normal for people of your background to encounter such things. I also know that the world is not black and white. Certain things must be inevitable if they exist. No one can demand high standards and high morals. You have to be a perfect person yourself, let alone ask others to do it.”

Cocobul sighed slightly: "Before the alliance was established, even if I knew about these things, I would not bother to care about them. But it is different now. The establishment of the alliance also means that it is time to rectify the order in this area."

He looked at Yang Yan with complicated eyes: "Actually, I know you are a good boy. Having dealt with those people does not deny your essence. But because of your age, people of your age are too easy to be tempted and induced. If you pay attention, you may go in the wrong direction, and I can't bear to look at a child who is not inherently bad..."

Cocobul didn't say any more, because Yang Yan's eyes told him that he understood.

Yang Yan suddenly realized that what Cocobul said when he went to the castle before was probably to remind him.

And why did Cocobol do this?

From his words and demeanor, Yang Yan could tell that Cocobul was a good person, or a good elder.

I saw that the junior might go astray, so I wanted to help him.

"I can see that you are a very motivated child," Cocobul said again: "I brought you here this time because I want you to see with your own eyes the darkness of this world and the dangers that are filled with it. If you don’t see the darkness, you won’t know how valuable the light is!”

"If you don't see the darkness, you don't know how valuable the light is..." Yang Yan couldn't help but repeat.

When he heard this, his soul was instantly shocked. Looking back on what had happened before, he suddenly felt mixed feelings.

"Thank you for your advice!" Yang Yan bowed and saluted.

"Okay, think about it carefully. I hope that after this incident is over, you can understand how to go in the future." Cocobul patted Yang Yan on the shoulder, turned and walked towards the tent where Kerni and the others were.

In fact, Cocobul said this to Yang Yan not only because of his kindness, nor what Yang Yan thought, but more because he saw Yang Yan's enterprising spirit.

The reason lies in the fact that Yang Yan gave up a good-level Pokémon in exchange for the opportunity for Flame Chicken to learn the power of wave guide.

This allowed him to see again that Yang Yan was much more mature than his peers and had his own ideas.

As long as such people can grow up, whether they are on the bright side or the dark side, they will never remain unknown, but will be able to stir up wind and rain.

In Cocobol's view, Yang Yan's age means that he now has strong plasticity and can be guided to the right path.

At first, he just gave Yang Yan a little hint. Yang Yan could hear it best, but if he couldn't, Cocobul didn't care much. After all, Yang Yan and he are not relatives, and he does not need to be responsible for Yang Yan's life. It is already good to give him a few words.

But when he went back and found that Yang Yan was still there, he was more certain that Yang Yan was not deeply connected with the underground forces, otherwise he would not have left.

After arriving here, he checked Yang Yan's background through the alliance's channels, and he was even more sure that Yang Yan still had a bright heart, so he said those words to Yang Yan.

……

Yang Yan's heart at this time was like the waves constantly beating on the shore, unable to calm down for a long time.

Cocobul's words had a great impact on him.

Although he could roughly understand the reason why Cocobul wanted to remind him, and he also understood that even without his guidance, his adult thinking would not necessarily fall into darkness, but he still felt a lot.

Most people in the world actually want to live under the sun, and Yang Yan is no exception.

He first came into contact with the underground world for the purpose of making money.

Because there are too few and too slow ways to make money in an honest way, he doesn't want to be just an ordinary ranger like his father in the future.

What's more, his father did not compromise on life because of this, and was only satisfied with the present.

After seeing and hearing this, his desire to make progress became even stronger. Therefore, he would take risks and try to obtain the Candlelight Spirit. Because of this, he was able to get to where he is today step by step.

If it weren't for what Cocobul said just now, he never thought that he could be separated from the underground world.

"Did I think too much that I was blinded?" Yang Yan couldn't help but ask himself.

Because he always subconsciously ignores his age, is accustomed to thinking like an adult, and uses gains and losses, and interests to measure things, so that he ignores other people's possible perceptions of him.

He prepared so much and even created several identities for himself, all for the purpose of protecting himself.

There are three caves in the cunning cave, so that you can always have a way out.

But is this not a hidden danger?

At the moment, the alliance may not pursue anything against him, but that is because he has not yet reached the level that requires the alliance to pay attention. When he becomes stronger and his position reaches a higher level in the future, the alliance may allow such a "first rat and two ends" Does anyone exist? impossible!

"I made the wrong step again!" Yang Yan took a deep breath and let out a long sigh.
