Pokémon: The Climb

"How to choose?"

Yang Yan is also asking himself this question.

Excellent level qualifications, walking grass and improved Lizard King qualifications, as well as the right to purchase 3 series advanced energy cubes in the future...

If you look at it from the surface, it is definitely safest to choose the Walking Powder as the reward. After all, it is intuitive to have one more Pokémon.

Kumi felt that if she had to choose by herself, she must have chosen walking.

However, what Yang Yan sees is not just these superficial things, but should be considered comprehensively based on his current situation and future goals.

The evolved form of Walking Grass is Overlord Flower or Beautiful Flower. They are both very common Pokémon and have very clear characteristics. However, the former is more focused on consumption, while the latter is more focused on assisting blood recovery.

Yang Yan's team currently has no shortage of Pokémon responsible for these two positions, and they can even do better than the two above. So with it added, it can only be said that one more of it is not more, and one less of it is not more. At most, its qualifications will be slightly superior.

Even if you put aside these things, the personality of Skull and its evolved Pokémon is not similar to that of Haruhiko.

Moreover, Yang Yan also felt that the walking grass that Li Jia gave him would probably only be those whose qualifications had just reached the excellent level.

If it is too high, even if Li Jia wants it, her family may not agree.

Looking at the latter option, although Li Jia said that it is difficult for the Lizard King to take this opportunity to upgrade to the perfect level, it does not mean that it cannot be upgraded in the future. Isn't the future battle between Xerneas and Yveltar another opportunity to improve their qualifications? If you choose the second option, wouldn't it be possible for the Lizard King to be promoted to the Perfect Level?

And this is probably the only opportunity for the Lizard King to reach the perfect level. It would be a pity to give up.

You must know that the Lizard King's current grass-type qualification is only [48% excellent], which is still far behind the perfect level. Under normal circumstances, there will be no hope of reaching the perfect level in his life. Now that he finally had such an opportunity, Yang Yan felt that if he gave up, he would be very sorry to the Lizard King who had accompanied him all the way.

Moreover, if Yang Yan's vision comes true and the Lizard King can really enter the perfect level in the future, then there is no need to think about how to choose one perfect one and two excellent ones?

Not to mention that the right to purchase the 3-series advanced energy cubes is a big problem that he still doesn't know how to solve.

Although there is only one Pokémon of each type, it is better than nothing!

So after about 10 minutes of careful consideration, Yang Yan finally made a decision.

"Master, I choose the second option!"

"Oh, are you sure?"

Li Jia seemed to be surprised by Yang Yan's choice, and asked specifically again.

Yang Yan nodded without hesitation: "OK!"

"Yang Yan, do you want to stop thinking about it?"

It was Jiumei who spoke. She felt that Yang Yan had made a completely wrong choice. Because in her opinion, the Lizard King is still an excellent level after his qualifications are improved, and there is no qualitative change. How can it compare with the emergence of another excellent level?

As for the right to purchase three types of advanced energy cubes, what appeal does this have to Yang Yan? Yang Yan is a student of Dr. Nagai, a master in the energy field. Isn't it easy to buy energy cubes?

What Jiumei thought was not wrong, but it can only be said that there are some things that are difficult to see clearly unless the person involved.

Yang Yan was still very happy with Jiumei's concern, but he still emphasized that he had already weighed the situation and would not change it.

"Since you chose the second option, let me say a few more words," Li Jia continued: "The process of improving qualifications will take about a month, so you have to keep the Lizard King temporarily."

"no problem!"

Yang Yan didn't mind this at all. After all, the Lizard King had lived here for a long time before, and it was as familiar as his second home.

They chatted for more than half an hour before the chat finally ended.

……

"Master, I will ask you to take care of the Lizard King." Yang Yan handed the Lizard King's elf ball to Li Jia, and at the same time said to the Lizard King next to him: "An Xin prepares to improve his qualifications. I will come back to pick you up in a month."

"That's right!" Lizard King nodded.

"When you come back, you can probably catch up with the opening ceremony of the flower shop!" Jiumei said with a smile.

"That's good..."

While Yang Yan was talking, two people happened to be walking around the corner.

One of them is Meixiang who looks a little helpless, and the other one... Yang Yan feels familiar, but he can't remember who it is for a moment.

"Axue, haven't you gone home?" Li Jia looked at the beautiful girl next to Mei Xiang in surprise.

"teacher!"

Ashue bowed slightly first, and then explained: "I have been training Pokémon at the training ground. I just accidentally learned that the two people in the gym who went to Kalos were back, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity."

As she said that, she actually looked at Yang Yan and Jiumei.

"I said it looks familiar!"

Yang Yan suddenly remembered who this "Axue" was.

When he went to Quartz Plateau to participate in the gym trial, Li Jia brought two gym apprentices to watch, one of them was Jiumei, and the other was this Ashue.

The main reason why he didn't recognize him at first glance was that Ashue was relatively young back then and had just become a trainer. Now two years later, Ashue's body has grown a little and her appearance is very different from before.

Yang Yan didn't have much contact with A Xue. The only thing he remembered was that she never had a good temper towards him, and she always gave people a feeling of being rather proud.

Now it seems that the grown-up Ashue has a heavier look of pride on her eyebrows.

If she were to wear a tutu, she would look like a spoiled young lady!

"I understand, do you want to know something about Carlos?"

Ashue would sometimes ask her about Carlos. Rika thought it was for this reason that Ashue wanted to come over to see Yang Yan and Kumi.

"No, I want to know if they were secretly driven back in despair because they lost their lives in Kalos. Otherwise, why didn't there be any news about the return of the delegation that went to Kalos?"

Yang Yan: "..."

Jiumei: "..."

Lijia chuckled, covered her face and explained: "How could such news be announced? You are thinking too much!"

"Really?" Ashue's face was full of disbelief.

"Master, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. I just came back and I have a lot of things to deal with."

Yang Yan said goodbye. He really didn't want to face this Axue again and felt uncomfortable staying with her for one more second.

"Did I tell you right?" Ashue raised her chin, her expression even more proud.

Yang Yan: "?"

He couldn't help but laugh. This Ashue felt too good about herself, didn't she?

"How about you guys have a fight?"

Jiumei smiled and didn't take it too seriously, and made a proposal that no one could think of.

Jiumei also knows that Ashue has a prejudice against Yang Yan. In fact, she also had one a long time ago, but Rika would occasionally compare them with Yang Yan. Anyone who hears it too much will be full of resentment towards the so-called "other people's children".

However, since she has decided not to be a trainer anymore, she has naturally let go of the past things, but Ashue... To be honest, Kumi didn't like her bad temper before. If she could borrow Yang Yan's help before leaving, Wouldn't it be nice to use your hands to help you vent your anger?
