Pokémon: The Climb

As Yang Yan kept reading with his fingertips, a touch of fish belly white gradually rose from the sea level.

Unexpectedly, it was almost dawn, and they could finally see their destination.

This is a small island, and at first glance it looks no different from the common islands found throughout Hoenn.

"The base is right here? Isn't it a little too careless? It's not far from the nearest coastline. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Yang Yan put the book away and looked at the increasingly clear island, saying casually.

"You'll find out later." The strong man replied.

Yang Yan didn't ask any more questions. He was recalling the sea map he had seen in his mind. On it were all the islands discovered by the alliance within the waters of Genaka City and its nearby cities.

Judging from the time and ship speed, they did not go deep into the ocean and were still within the waters controlled by the alliance. So it is natural to imagine that the Alliance must have explored the islands in the sea.

He originally thought that the base would be deeper in the ocean, but he didn't expect that it wasn't that far at all.

"Either this base is newly built by the Shanhai team. If not, we may need to check whether there are insiders in the alliance who are covering up." Yang Yan decided to tell Gao Si after returning and let Gao Si conduct a thorough investigation first.

Upon arrival, the strong man immediately ordered everyone to disembark.

Yang Yan noticed that the strong man did not turn off the engine when he disembarked, and he thought: "It seems that there will be other people to handle the ship later."

"Come with me!"

The strong man led the way, Yoshino and Yang Yan were two positions behind, and the others were walking further behind.

The space on the island is smaller than it seems from a distance. Not to mention Qinglian Island, it is probably smaller than the smallest of the three satellite islands of Qinglian Island.

Normally no one would survive on such an island, and the number of Pokémon on the island is also very small.

Along the way, Yang Yan never met more than 3 Pokémon that were together.

Passing through the sparse trees, a group of them soon arrived at the center of the island.

The strong man pushed aside the big stone with ease, revealing an inconspicuous small iron box under the stone.

Open the iron box and inside is a walkie-talkie.

"It's me, I'm back, open the door!"

The strong man picked up the walkie-talkie and said a few words, then put the walkie-talkie back into the iron box and returned the big stone to its place.

When he finished everything, the ground about ten meters directly in front of Yang Yan suddenly opened to both sides.

"This scene really seems familiar!" Yang Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The strong man led the others underground, and when they all entered, the door to the outside world closed smoothly.

Fortunately, the lights on both sides also turned on at the same time, otherwise the team might have caused disruption.

Before entering the base, you need to pass through a thick metal password door, which is also opened by a strong man entering the password.

As soon as they entered the underground base, before Yang Yan had time to take a look, Fang Ye on the side said: "Follow me, Master Ju is waiting for you elsewhere."

Yang Yan smiled and raised his hand, signaling Fang Ye to lead the way. The strong man led the others in another direction.

As he walked, Yang Yan observed the surrounding situation, but the Shanhai team did a great job in terms of safety. Except for the metal passage with twists and turns along the way, Yang Yan saw no one.

"What is this base for?"

In the end, Yang Yan could only hope to get some useful information from Fang Ye.

Unfortunately, Yoshino just glanced at him and turned back without telling him any plans about the base.

Yang Yan had no choice but to give up.

However, Yang Yan didn't gain anything at all. At least he judged that this was not a base for Shanhai Team to train newcomers. Because the base he stayed in after being kidnapped by Miss Ju last time was very different from the one here.

The most significant difference is space.

The space here is obviously much smaller, and it obviously cannot support all the facilities of a newcomer base.

After a while, Yang Yan finally saw two people wearing Shanhai Team uniforms.

These are two bodyguards, or doormen.

Responsible for protecting the gate behind you.

Behind the gate is a place where only the senior leaders of the Shanhai Team in this base are qualified to live.

This communication work was naturally handled by Yoshino.

However, the two bodyguards did not let him go directly. Instead, they took out their walkie-talkies and checked with someone before finally opening the door behind them.

"let's go!"

Yang Yan sneered and said nothing.

Back at the base, for some reason, he always felt that Yoshino seemed to be much tougher than when they first met.

The journey was not far this time, and within a short while, they arrived at a metal door.

Through the phone next to the door, Yoshino contacted Miss Ju inside.

Opening the door, Yang Yan immediately saw Miss Ju sitting on the sofa not far away, holding a tea cup and flipping through documents!

He will never forget this figure and appearance, because this is the first person who made him suffer a big loss!

And the reason why he took on the troublesome and dangerous undercover mission was all thanks to the woman in front of him!

"Sir, my subordinate has fulfilled his mission and brought Si Wu here!"

As soon as he entered the door, Yoshino knelt down on one knee and lowered his head to report.

The same is true for Yang Yan.

"My subordinate Si Wu, please see your lord!"

Miss Ju then put down everything in her hands and raised her eyes to look at the two of them.

"Get up!"

"Yes!" They both stood up at the same time.

Miss Ju first looked at Fangye and said with a smile: "Fangye, you worked hard last night. You should go back and have a good rest."

"Yes!"

Fangye did not dare to disobey Miss Ju's order, but just looked at Yang Yan a few more times before leaving.

The eyes are very unfriendly.

Wait until the door closes again.

Miss Ju first looked at Yang Yan for a long time, and then said: "There is no one else here now, take off the mask."

"Yes!"

Yang Yan took off his mask in response, revealing his true appearance.

"Tsk tsk, it's good to be young, but I haven't seen you for more than three years, and I almost don't recognize you!" Miss Ju waved her hand: "Come a few steps forward and let me see if you are the bold and audacious person you once were. brat."

Although Yang Yan could tell that Miss Ju was joking, he probably had a suspicion.

Because he has indeed changed a lot compared to 3 years ago.

After all, these past few years have been a period of rapid physical development for him.

Not to mention Miss Ju, I'm afraid it would take a few seconds for his parents to recognize him as their son when they see him now.

Yang Yan took a few steps forward and finally maintained a safe distance of 5 meters from Miss Ju.

Miss Ju looked up and down again: "If it weren't for the similarity between the eyebrows, I would have thought you had been replaced!"

Yang Yan bent down: "Sir, you are joking. No matter how much my appearance changes, I will always be a member of our Shanhai Team."

Miss Ju raised her hands to applaud and said with a smile: "Well said! People from the Shanhai Team are always from the Shanhai Team!"

At this time, Miss Ju changed the topic again and said: "Now that you have time, tell me more about your experience after going to Carlos."
