Pokémon: The Climb

Although he never mentioned it, Yang Yan had always paid attention to the strange black stone on Longlongyan.

According to the original "growth" speed, it will take a long time for the black strange stone to "gestate" to completion. However, since the last time I went to see the tree transformed by Xerneas, the black strange stone has "grown" a lot.

Yang Yan guessed that the rich life force of the Longlong Stone had been replenished to the Black Strange Stone, but he felt that it would still take a long time before the Black Strange Stone was complete, and he had a lot of things to do, so he gave up for the time being. Researching on the Black Strange Stone, he didn't expect that today he would accidentally discover information about the Ax Splitting Mantis and the Black Strange Stone.

"Based on the data recorded in the book and the previously recorded 'growth' speed of the black strange stone," Yang Yan closed his eyes and began to do mental calculations: "It should be 'grown' in about six months!"

6 months, exactly at the beginning of next year.

At this time, he muttered in his heart: "Now that the Black Strange Stone is available, should I conquer a flying mantis? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of this hard-earned ancient evolutionary tool?"

It stands to reason that this is the case, but a Pokémon that has never been discovered...no, it should be the birth of a Pokémon that has been passed down from ancient times. This is not a simple matter.

The impact may even spread to several regions, attracting the attention and covetousness of countless people.

And Yang Yan will undoubtedly become the center of this storm.

Yang Yan asked himself: "Am I capable of dealing with such a storm now?"

Ax Mantis is not like a Pokémon with high qualifications. As long as you are careful, you don't have to worry about being found out. It is a Pokémon that can cause trouble just by its appearance, and the intensity of the disturbance will definitely not be small.

After all, the title of "the only one in the world" is very impressive, and there will definitely be countless "collectors" who want to get the Ax Splitting Mantis.

Some people may be able to refuse due to worldliness and face, but most of them don’t want to reason with you.

Yang Yan never hesitates to speculate on the world with the greatest malice.

He asked himself that once the Ax Splitting Mantis was exposed, he would never be able to defend it by himself.

In the end, there is only one best way to deal with it, and that is to hand over the Ax Splitting Mantis to the Alliance.

But he was really unwilling to let him do this.

"Unless I don't evolve, even if I evolve, I can never be exposed in front of others. Unless I have the power to protect myself, at least I need to wait until I grow to the level of a king!"

Of course, the premise of all this is that he must have a flying mantis.

It has to be a highly qualified Flying Mantis.

He didn't want the future Ax Splitting Mantis to be just a mascot in the team.

"Speaking of which, it seems difficult for the Ax Splitting Mantis to integrate into my team..."

Thanks to a brain with extraordinary memory, Yang Yan can now recall the data panel of the axe-splitting mantis he saw in the Lugia trial space.

Ax Mantis is a Pokémon that specializes in melee physical attacks. To put it more bluntly, it is the main attacker of the team.

As for his current teams... there is no need to consider the Ghost Army, the Trinity Weather Team has nothing to do with it, the same goes for the Sunny Team, and in the end only the Universal Speed ​​Team is left.

Although the speed of Axe-Splitting Mantis is not bad, and it can even learn to move at high speed, there is still a big gap between it and Flame Chicken and Eluredo.

It's not impossible to join the team, but it still feels a bit reluctant.

After all, Axebreaker doesn't seem to be a Pokémon that can fit into most teams. It's more like a lone wolf.

Of course, we can't blame it. The Flying Mantis is the "culprit". Who made the Flying Mantis clan accustomed to being a lone wolf?

Yang Yan still remembers the scene when he and Axe-Splitting Mantis fought against Boscodora, but because they could hardly match up with his own team, they had to let him fight alone in the end.

"Highly qualified flying mantises... forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Even if flying mantises are not very rare, high qualifications are not so easy to obtain."

Yang Yan decided not to force himself until he grew to the level of a king.

If you can encounter it, then find a way to win it and don't miss it. If you can't encounter it... then you can't encounter it.

In addition, when he thought that the Ax Mantis was a Pokémon that existed in ancient times and gradually disappeared, he couldn't help but think of those fossil Pokémon.

Although he didn't ask specifically, he also knew that the fossil resurrection technology has not yet been perfected, and those fossil Pokémon have not yet appeared in the public eye.

One characteristic of fossil Pokémon is that they are all rock-type.

This may not be an attribute they originally possessed, but that they became rock-type because they were resurrected from fossils.

Of course, this is just a guess.

But Yang Yan thought that the Ax Splitting Mantis also happens to be of the rock type?

Is it possible to find a way to give Ax Mantis the name of a "fossil Pokémon" so that other fossil Pokémon can share the attention focused on Ax Mantis?

But in this case, it would be difficult to talk about Hei Qishi.

In fact, he planned to wait for the black stone to take shape, then cut a small piece out and let the Longlong Stone "grow" again. Although I don't know if I can get new black stones using this method, at least I won't have any research materials after using it for Flying Mantis.

"I need to find an opportunity to learn about the progress of Devin Company's fossil resurrection technology another day." Yang Yan secretly kept this in mind.

He planned to wait for the fossil resurrection technology to be developed before he could create the Ax Splitting Mantis. Otherwise, even if he obtained the highly qualified Flying Mantis before then, he would choose not to evolve for the time being.

Because of the fossil resurrection technology, even if Ax Mantis is discovered, he can temporarily push it to the fossil Pokémon.

Fossil Pokémon are just as rare, but it's better than the "unique in the world" title, right?

At least after learning that Axe-Splitting Mantis is a fossil Pokémon, most people probably don’t want to steal it from him, but instead want to find the fossil and resurrect one themselves.

Doesn't this virtually save yourself a lot of possible trouble?

It would be great if someone could actually find the fossil of the axe-splitting mantis, and he would have done a good deed.

"If this is the case, I will need to pay more attention and collect ancient fossils in the future. I will use it as a cover for the Axe-Splitting Mantis. Also, if I am lucky enough to get a real ancient Pokémon fossil, I can resurrect a fossil Pokémon. But it seems like it’s not a bad idea to have a dream!” Yang Yan thought this way.

Fossil Pokémon are still good, even if they are just thrown into a research institute, they are more valuable than other Pokémon.

Not to mention that both Watanabe and Daigo have fossil Pokémon in their main force.

Does this prove that the resurrected fossil Pokémon are likely to have good qualifications?

In other words, Pokémon with high qualifications are more likely to form fossils?

In short, Yang Yan has now added another task to himself: collecting fossils...
