Pokémon: The Climb

"People from Team Rocket?" Yang Yan observed more carefully this time: "Are you not wearing Team Rocket clothes?"

"They are not from the Rockets. They are just using the Rockets' banner to gain more weight for themselves!"

"That's right, if that's the case, all the people we arrested before said this. When have we ever been afraid?"

"What is Team Rocket? If they dare to come, I will arrest them all!"

The people here in the wilderness area became more and more enthusiastic, and they had no intention of letting go of the poachers in their words.

"Although we are not from Team Rocket, we are still helping Team Rocket. Just wait, Team Rocket will definitely come to rescue us!"

Seeing that his words did not frighten these people, the poacher finally became a little worried, but on the surface he was still not ready to give in, but his tone was obviously weaker than before.

……

Watching these people leave, Yang Yan lowered his head and thought.

"Does it mean that the Rockets don't fully control the Chengdu area yet?"

Before Yang Yan left for Kalos, he had done something similar for Team Rocket in Chengdu, but the Pokémon he sent were all wild Pokémon, not directly snatched from others.

The words of these poachers reminded Yang Yan of that memory.

What puzzled him was that even if Team Rocket hadn't really taken control of Chengdu, there was no need to capture Pokémon from Kanto to replenish their combat power.

Although he didn't understand it, Yang Yan didn't worry too much. He had a lot of things to be busy with and really had no intention of getting involved in Team Rocket's affairs.

Don't hinder yourself, just do whatever they want.

"Flame Horse, let's go!"

Putting the matter of the poachers behind him, Yang Yan took a good stroll in the wild wilderness area again.

Unfortunately, as the girl reminded, the Pokémon here are too vigilant. Even if they see the flaming horse of the same race, the small flaming horses and flaming horses in the wilderness area do not dare to come forward.

It's really a bit disappointing.

So he found a place and after enjoying a picnic, Yang Yan took the Pokémon and left here with a little regret.

Set off again to the next city.

……

Time flies, one month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Yang Yan has returned to the entrance of Yuhong Gym.

"Sister Meixiang!"

"Yang Yan, you are back. Come with me. The owner is waiting for you."

It's lunch break now, and Yuhong Gym is rarely free.

When Yang Yan came over, Li Jia had just finished her lunch and made a pot of tea. She was sipping tea and taking care of the flowers and plants in the yard.

"Master!"

Yang Yan saluted respectfully.

"Here you go, sit down first." Li Jia pointed to her side.

Yang Yan was not polite and sat directly in front of Li Jia.

"This is the elf ball containing the Lizard King. It now belongs to its original owner."

Li Jia took out a fairy ball and handed it to Yang Yan.

Yang Yan reached out and took it.

He opened the Lizard King's data panel without leaving a trace, and quickly scanned the qualifications column.

For a moment, I was filled with joy.

Because the Lizard King's qualifications have reached the excellent level of 93%, which is a full 45% increase!

"I don't know why, but the Lizard King's physical condition is unexpectedly good. Therefore, the improvement process is not only very smooth, but the effect is also far beyond expectations. Congratulations!"

Lijia smiled and explained the changes in the Lizard King.

Yang Yan nodded silently and listened, thanking him from time to time, but he was thinking about other things in his heart.

"It seems that the fact that the Lizard King has improved so much this time is probably because the undissipated life energy in the body continues to play a role. The previous choice was indeed correct!"

According to Yang Yan's analysis, Li Jia mentioned a significant increase, and the maximum increase should be around 40%. After all, Xiao Huoma only improved his qualifications by 20% after taking the potion obtained from Eguchi Ryuichi, and the basis of improvement was good level, while the basis of Lizard King was excellent level. The two were not the same concept at all.

Yang Yan guessed that the 5% extra increase was the result of the combined effect of life energy and qualification potions.

Suddenly, an idea came to Yang Yan's mind, so he asked impatiently.

"Master, is there anything in the alliance that can improve your qualifications? How can I get it?"

Lijia's family has a deep foundation, but compared with the official organization - the Pokémon League, there is definitely a gap. Li Jia can come up with a potion that has such a great effect, but what about the Alliance? There must be some!

Yang Yan thought that all the life energy in his Pokémon's body had not completely dissipated. If he could get other qualification potions, wouldn't he be able to improve his qualifications again?

Li Jia may have expected Yang Yan to ask this question, so she replied without any surprise: "Of course! If you want to get it, there are two prerequisites. One is to be a direct trainer of the alliance with elite strength, and the other is to be a direct trainer of the alliance with elite strength. Two, it’s alliance points!”

Li Jia's words reminded Yang Yan of the trainer level in the mission hall.

Without waiting for Yang Yan to ask in detail, Li Jia continued to explain: "The first condition, as the champion of the alliance conference, you have automatically met. This is one of the few status achievements that can be recognized as an exception."

"Alliance points, just like you think, come from performing alliance tasks. You can use the points to exchange for the items you need."

Yang Yan asked strangely: "But why don't I have these things in my redemption list?"

It would be understandable if the conditions were not met, so it was not shown in the redeemable list. But since I had met the first condition, I could check it even if I didn’t have enough points. Why hadn’t he seen it?

"This requires you to go to the Fengyuan Alliance headquarters. Some procedures require you to go through the permissions before you can activate it." Lijia thought for a while and then said: "Actually, if you go to the mission hall after becoming the champion of the alliance conference, , the staff over there will tell you."

"I see!"

Yang Yan suddenly realized, no wonder no one had ever told him about the benefits and privileges of being a champion of the Alliance Conference. It turns out that as long as you go to the mission hall, people will take the initiative to tell you. After all, the mission hall is a place that every trainer cannot avoid visiting.

No wonder Nagai asked him to return to Fengyuan as soon as possible. Did he have the same consideration?

Unfortunately, since the end of the Carlos Conference, Yang Yan has been busy with things, so he has never returned to the mission hall.

He had thought about taking on a few missions to upgrade his senior trainer level to elite level when he had some free time to match his own strength. Now it seems that we have to complete the task in advance, otherwise how to earn points?

His current alliance points are just 650, which is equivalent to a market price of 6. This is definitely not enough to buy a qualification potion. Even if he works hard to earn points by doing tasks now, there is a high probability that he will not be able to buy one before the life energy effect disappears.

"What a pity." Yang Yan thought to himself.

Lijia said at this time: "Although the qualification potion is good, a Pokémon can only take 3 doses at most, and they are 3 doses of different formulas, and only the first potion can fully exert its effect. Even after that, No matter how effective the potion is, it is difficult for Pokémon to fully absorb it.”

"Therefore, considering the cost and difficulty of obtaining it, most trainers will only use it for Pokémon whose qualifications are expected to be improved to a higher level."

"Please keep this in mind and act within your ability!"
