Pokémon: The Climb

At this time, Du Juan also looked at Yang Yan. The two nodded and smiled at each other as a greeting.

"This is really..."

Among the current eight people, if he had to say who he least wanted to meet, it was undoubtedly Du Juan.

As a member of Fengyuan, how could Yang Yan be willing to take action against the villagers?

But there is no way, this is the game, and since the match list has been announced, there can be no changes.

In fact, Du Juan doesn't want to fight Yang Yan.

As early as the welcome party when she first came to Carlos, Du Juan already knew that Yang Yan was from Fengyuan.

The reason why I came here on behalf of Kanto is because Chenghua Gym is a general gym and is not among the Fengyuan mission gyms.

"I don't know if the Carlos Alliance has any involvement in it..."

But Yang Yan only suspected this and couldn't find any evidence.

Return to the room.

Yang Yan began to carefully study the battle videos of Du Juan's journey.

As the future rock-type gym leader, the Pokémon in Du Juan's hands are naturally rock-type.

The rock type is an attribute with many weaknesses, including fighting, ground, water, steel, and grass. There are so many weaknesses, no matter what attributes are paired with them, there will never be too few.

It's a pity that although there are many weaknesses, there are few that Yang Yan can restrain. And his Pokémon are mainly fire-type and flying-type, both of which can only do half damage to rock-types.

Yang Yan was really beaten to death by Du Juan.

This game can also be said to be the hardest game that Yang Yan will play since the league meeting.

The most important thing is that this is a 6V6 all-member battle.

The requirements for formation and Pokémon will be higher.

"It seems like we have to go all out for this one!"

As soon as Yang Yan finished his emotion, he received a call from Akagi.

"Hello, Akagi-sama!"

He quickly straightened his posture. Even though Akagi is not here, the two sides are only separated by the phone.

"Yang Yan, I watched today's game. You played well. Congratulations on reaching the top 8 of the Carlos League Conference!"

"Thank you for your compliment." Yang Yan quickly thanked him.

Akagi continued: "I hope you can continue to work hard in the future. By the way, you can choose the rewards for the top 8 after the Alliance Conference. Whether you can get Pokémon with higher qualifications in the future depends entirely on your strength!"

"I will definitely work hard!" Yang Yan promised.

"Then I won't disturb you. You can think about how to fight tomorrow."

After saying yes, Akagi hung up the phone.

Yang Yan put down the phone and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Akagi's phone call seemed like encouragement, but it was actually a warning.

He was telling Yang Yan that he would have to go all out in the battle tomorrow, and he could not hold back just because his opponent was from Fengyuan, his hometown, or even lose on purpose.

Akagi or the senior officials in Kanto don't know Yang Yan's strength, so in their opinion, although Yang Yan can reach this point, it's good, but there is really no certainty as to how far he can go.

If you feel that the situation is not good, it is entirely possible to deliberately lose in an attempt to sell the Hoenn Alliance well, so that's why Akagi called to give Yang Yan a warning.

In fact, this is not necessary at all, because Yang Yan will not joke with his own future.

Whether it's the reward from Kanto or the hidden benefits that come with high ranking in the Alliance Conference, this is what Yang Yan needs.

And even if he really can't beat Du Juan, he will definitely fight until the last moment and will never have the thought of losing on purpose.

……

Time soon came to the next day.

There are a total of 8 games in the top 4. Although the number of games is small, because it is a battle between all players, the time is not short at all.

If the two sides are close in strength and the situation is tense, it is normal for a game to last for more than an hour.

Such a long battle tests the players not only mentally, but also physically.

The match between Yang Yan and Du Juan was in the first round.

After the two sides stood on the playing field, the game did not start immediately. Instead, the host gave a passionate introduction to the players of both sides.

The main thing is their wonderful performance since the preliminaries.

Cuckoo's combat is huge, and the matches are often visually devastating. After a battle, the site will basically be scrapped and require major repairs.

This rough fighting style is in sharp contrast to her intellectual lady image. In addition, it is extremely rare for her to reach the top 8 of the league with Pokémon of the same attribute, so she left a deep impression on many viewers. .

By the way, although Du Juan uses the rock type, they all have secondary attributes, so they will not be unable to fight just because they are restrained.

Yangyan is known for his flexibility in combat and is good at using high-speed Pokémon. At the same time, he has rich tactics, is good at layout, and is often unexpected. He has also gained considerable popularity in the circle of trainers who watch the games.

In particular, the tactic of using the black mist to break the rain caused many trainers to discuss it.

Before the game starts, you need to choose the venue for the first half.

The forest site was selected.

"Forest venue..." Yang Yan smiled slightly: "What a coincidence. Whatever you think of comes to you."

Among the attributes that can restrain rock-types, its Pokémon are better at fighting and grass-types.

Therefore, it is self-evident who will be the main player in this game.

"Now begins the match between trainer Du Juan and trainer Oki Yohiko. The number of Pokémon that can be used in the match is 6. When all Pokémon on one side lose their ability to fight, the match ends. The match will be divided into two halves. After 3 Pokémon on one side lose the ability to fight, the game will be paused and restart 5 minutes later. The game venue will be changed in the second half until the game is decided. During the process, players can choose to change Pokémon at any time. Now, please let both players send their first Pokémon onto the field at the same time!"

Yang Yan and Du Juan threw the Poké Ball at the same time.

"Come on, Big Rock Snake!"

"Please, Lizard King!"

Looking at the huge rock snake released by Du Juan, Yang Yan sighed: "It really is like this!"

What the rock type is best at is destroying the field.

Forest sites are obviously not favored by rock types.

If Yang Yan were from Du Juan's point of view, he would also choose to use the huge rock snake to destroy the field first and replace it with a rock field that is beneficial to his side.

As for why it is the Big Rock Snake instead of the evolved Big Steel Snake, Yang Yan thinks that on the one hand, it may be that the Big Steel Snake is not a rock type, and on the other hand, the Big Rock Snake requires too much metal film and the financial pressure is too great. In addition, Metallic film is not a common Pokémon item, so Dujuan may not be able to evolve it yet.

The reason why Yang Yan chose to send the Lizard King on the field in the first game was because he felt that after the first game, the forest venue suitable for the Lizard King would live up to its existence.

To avoid any regrets, Yang Yan adjusted the order of battle and chose the Lizard King as the vanguard general!
