Pokémon: The Climb

Silent all night.

Today is the third day of the competition, and it still starts at one o'clock in the afternoon.

After Yang Yan woke up, he did the same thing as yesterday: taking care of the Doi ninja and training.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Yan came to the player area on time to prepare for the next game.

The only difference from yesterday is that because there are now 147 contestants left, one person will be lucky enough to enter the next round today.

What a coincidence, the participating number plate that appeared after rotating on the screen was exactly the number 150!

Yang Yan looked at the number plate in his hand and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Mu Shou Gong, who was already ready and waiting to play, was also stunned.

"Mushou Palace, it seems your game will have to wait until tomorrow."

"Chamo."

Mu Shou Gong felt very sorry, and even thought that this was specially arranged by God to target it, just to prevent it from playing.

Yang Yan knelt down and patted Mu Shou Gong on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay, don't be sad, you have to work hard for tomorrow's game, you must win!"

"Chamo!"

After hearing Yang Yan's encouragement, Mu Shou Gong felt much better.

Yes, I have a bye today, but I will definitely be able to play tomorrow. It just takes one more day to wait, and I can even have time to train more.

Yang Yan asked the competition staff and learned that starting tomorrow, due to the further decline in the number of contestants, in order to maintain the number of games, there will be a knockout round in the morning and afternoon in the next few days.

The game will start at 8:1 tomorrow morning, and it will still be : in the afternoon.

Yang Yan was not surprised to learn about this situation, but it would be a hardship for those trainers who only had one novice-level Pokémon.

If the Pokémon is too seriously injured in the morning competition, it may be difficult to pass the afternoon competition.

But this is not a way to eliminate people who are not strong enough.

It just so happens that in the first game tomorrow, Mu Shou Gong can be used, and in the second game, a small fire horse can be used, which will have no impact on Yang Yan.

Yang Yan had already experienced the fun of fishing yesterday, so today he did not go to the deck again, but chose to visit some shops on the ship.

The Doi Ninja grows too fast. The incubation period of Pokémon is usually 7 days, but Yang Yan estimates that the Doi Ninja will probably spend 3-4 days, so he needs to prepare some growth period requirements for the Doi Ninja. Just eat energy cubes.

There is an area on the ship dedicated to selling Pokémon-related items. You can basically buy fruits, potions, skill discs, etc., but the price is about 10% higher than the corresponding prices outside, so generally if you don’t need it urgently, there is no one. Would love to buy something here.

After shopping around for a while, Yang Yan walked into a store that specialized in selling energy cubes. He spent 2.5 yuan to buy 10 days of insect and ground mixed energy cubes for the Doi Ninja, as well as 2 yuan of ghost attribute energy. blocks.

There are no Pokémon with three attributes on the market, and naturally there are no energy cubes with mixed attributes. Yang Yan can only use this rough method to match the three-attribute Pokémon.

The Doi Ninja has also become the most expensive Pokémon in Yang Yan's hands.

Seeing the enthusiastic look on the clerk's face, Yang Yan felt that his wallet was bleeding.

The customers inside also looked at Yang Yan with a look of betrayal, thinking that he was really stupid for insisting on buying these things at a premium.

Yes, although there are many people shopping here, most of them are just looking to buy. I think this is the first time the store clerk has encountered such a generous customer, so he is so enthusiastic about Yang Yan.

As soon as Yang Yan walked out of the store, by coincidence, he met Qianye Ling and her grandfather again, but this time there were two people beside them.

One of them is a man in his 30s wearing a white shirt, and the other is a woman wearing a light blue dress. They are Chiba Ling's parents.

The family of four was saying this happily just now, but they didn't expect Yang Yan to appear in front of them.

As soon as Mr. Chiba saw Yang Yan, the smile on his face disappeared instantly: "Why are you here?!"

Yang Yan didn't expect to see them here, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "I just came to buy some energy cubes. I didn't expect to meet you here. I'll leave now, I won't disturb you!"

Yang Yan was really afraid of this old man. Why didn't he notice that he was such a petty person before, and he was so worried about trivial matters now?

Turning around, Yang Yan was ready to leave immediately.

"Little brother, wait a minute!"

Hearing the sound, Yang Yan had to stop his steps.

This voice sounded like Chiba Ling's father.

Yang Yan turned around and smiled bitterly: "I wonder if you have anything else to do?"

Chiba Youliang took a few steps forward and said: "You are the trainer who defeated Xiao Ling, I think your name is Omu Yang..."

"Oki Yohiko."

"Yes, Oki Yohiko," Chiba Youra stretched out his right hand: "Hello, I am Chiba Ling's father, Chiba Youra."

Yang Yan also shook hands with him politely: "Hello, uncle!"

At this time, several other people also came over.

Mr. Chiba seemed to have thought of something, and said teasingly to Yang Yan: "Boy, if I remember correctly, the competition has only started not long ago, right? Could it be said that you have been eliminated? That is really exciting... …Ah no…what a pity!”

Yang Yan was helpless: "You don't have to feel sorry, because I had a bye in today's game and advanced directly to the next round without being eliminated."

When Mr. Qianye heard this, his expression suddenly turned bad: "What? Such a good thing happened to you? What the organizer did is really not a personal matter!"

"Grandpa," Qianye Ling took her grandfather's hand: "How could you say that? How rude..."

"Grandpa, what I'm telling you is the truth, hum!" Mr. Chiba turned his face away and pretended that he didn't want to see Yang Yan.

Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Chiba Youliang quickly said: "Dad, Xiao Ling doesn't even care anymore, why can't you let go? Isn't this a joke?"

At the same time, he turned to look at Yang Yan: "Brother Omu, don't mind."

Yang Yan shook his head: "It's okay, uncle. If it's okay, I'll leave first."

"By the way," Youliang took out a business card from his arms and said, "This is my business card. If there is a chance in the future, we can talk again."

Yang Yan reached out and took it: "Okay, let's talk again when we have the chance."

Then Yang Yan left here directly.

He took out his business card and looked at it: "He is indeed a rich man."

The information written on the business card said that the Chiba family is a family that operates hundreds of Pokémon massage parlors.

Pokémon massage service is one of the many categories of breeders. It is mainly used to help Pokémon release stress, soothe the mind and promote development.

Basically, cultivators will learn something like this when they study related cultivation courses, but this is an ability that seems simple, but is actually very difficult to master.

Because this is not like an energy cube, as long as it is made rich in a certain type of energy, it can basically be suitable for most Pokémon of that type.

However, due to the different types of Pokémon, different development levels, and different massage techniques, massage services may even harm Pokémon if you are not familiar with it.

That's why it is said that this is a craft that is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Yang Yan saw the name of the massage parlor run by the Chiba family called "Hexin" on the business card.

Yang Yan felt like he had heard this store name somewhere, but because he had never paid attention to such things, he scratched his head and couldn't remember where he had heard it for a long time.
