Pokémon: The Climb

Early the next morning.

Yang Yan found Kai Kanai in the office.

"Sir, you are back?!"

Seeing Yang Yan enter the door, Kanai Kai quickly put down everything in his hands and stood up to greet him.

Yang Yan sat on a chair nearby: "Well, there was nothing wrong with the mission, right?"

Kanai Kai stood at the foot of Yang Yan and said respectfully: "Sir, everything is normal."

"That's good." Yang Yan nodded, then paused, and then continued: "Kanejing, actually I know you have already seen that there are other reasons why I parachuted here to be the squadron leader. The specific situation is more inconvenient for me. Said, but now my matter is over, after the mission at the transfer station is over, I will step down from the position of squadron leader."

"I have worked hard for you during this period, so before I leave, while I still have some power and some connections with the higher-ups, if any of the three of you wants to be the captain, I can try to recommend it. If you have other ideas, I can also Try to help."

Except for the mission at the transfer station, where he led the team to clear out the threats on the volcanic island at the beginning, the rest of the work was almost done by three subordinates. As the squadron leader, he was slightly derelict in his duties, so although he had to leave, he still wanted to Help now while you can.

Yohiko's sudden outburst made Kanai Kai a little dazed, but he quickly came to his senses and said: "Sir, you'd better ask Ukyo and Tosuke about this matter. They think more about the position of squadron leader." I'm interested, and I have applied to be transferred to the diplomatic department after this mission, but the result has not come out yet. Sir, if you really have a way, please help me."

He didn't say that Pang Yangyan must help get the military to agree to release him. He only said that he should urge him. Obviously, he didn't want to make things difficult for Yang Yan.

Just a small thing shows his art of speaking.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs may really be the stage where he shines.

"I understand. Then you can talk to them later and let them decide who will be the leader of this squadron. Oh, by the way, the 10th Squadron will be expanded into a group in the future. If you don't want another large group to be parachuted in, Captain, remember to let them improve their strength."

After saying that, Yang Yan stood up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he thought for a while and said, "I will be away for a while. If you have anything to do, call me."

Looking at Yang Yan's leaving figure, Kanai Kai fell into silence: "Is this squadron that has been established less than two years beginning to expand... Unfortunately, this is not my ambition!"

……

After leaving, Yang Yan got on the fire-breathing dragon and came to one of the three satellite islands.

"Roar!"

As soon as it hit the ground, Charizard let out a loud roar.

Soon, a Gengar emerged from the ground.

Yang Yan smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Gengar, I'm here to pick you up!"

"Geng Gui!" Geng Gui smiled and disappeared into Yang Yan's shadow.

Riding the fire-breathing dragon again: "Let's go home!"

……

After a week, Yang Yan finally returned to Chenghua City, the place where his journey began.

He did not choose to go to Chenghua Gym first, or to find other acquaintances, but continued to take the car to Qinghe Town, the town closest to the Gray Feather Mountains.

After leaving the town, Yang Yan rode on the flaming horse and embarked on the road home.

"When I came here, I set off on my father's flaming horse. Now when I come back, I also ride on the flaming horse. It seems to have been destined..."

A few hours later.

Yang Yan came to an area with a large area of ​​fruit trees. Looking at the old but familiar ordinary houses in front of him, he felt a little timid for no reason.

"Is this just timidity about being close to home..." Yang Yan couldn't help but shook his head.

He patted the flaming horse under him and said with a smile: "Fire Horse, do you see it? That is our home, the home where we were born!"

"Yu~!"

There was a hint of excitement in the Flame Horse's high-pitched voice, and it was obvious that it was also looking forward to the relatives it was about to see.

"Let's go!"

……

Reiko was going to the orchard to check the growth of the fruit as usual.

"Poison Rose, Hunting Swallowtail, let's go."

As soon as she went out, she saw a young man walking slowly not far away, with a flaming horse following him.

"What a powerful flaming horse. It's not inferior to the one from my family..."

Reiko was slightly surprised. After all, flaming horses were relatively rare in Hoenn.

But on the surface, it wasn't too rude.

She only thought that the person in front of her was a trainer who came to practice near the Gray Feather Mountains. Although he seemed to be very strong, there was nothing surprising about him.

She has experienced many similar things.

Occasionally Omu Yong would bring back trainers who were lost or injured in the Gray Feather Mountains.

Trainers who are familiar with this place will even come here to sit when they enter or leave the mountain, so Reiko has long been used to people coming here.

She and the two Pokémon slowly stepped forward.

Just when she was about to speak, she somehow suddenly felt that this young man looked familiar, much like her son who had been away from home for many years.

"Xiaoyan is probably this tall now..." Reiko was in a daze.

But after the young man's next words, she couldn't hold back any longer, and the excited tears couldn't stop pouring out.

"Mom, I'm back!"

"Xiaoyan, it's you, you're back, are you finally back?" Reiko ran excitedly and grabbed Yangyan's hand.

Yang Yan smiled gently and gently stroked the tears from his mother's eyes: "Yes, Mom, your son, I'm back!"

"Okay, just come back, just come back!"

Reiko's mouth was smiling, but her eyes were crying. She wanted to stop, but her tears were always so disobedient.

"My son has grown up. Mom almost didn't recognize you. Let me take a good look!"

Reiko looked around Yang Yan's body from front to back, making Yang Yan feel a little embarrassed.

"With such a strong body, it seems that you have suffered a lot outside..." Reiko felt a little distressed.

Yang Yan would like to ask: How do you associate the words physical strength and hardship together.

But when the words came to his lips, he turned into: "It's not hard. Mom, don't worry, your son has no arms or legs, he is normal!"

Reiko patted Yang Yan on the arm: "You brat, don't say such unlucky words again!"

"Yes, yes, yes, mom, whatever you say will happen!" Yang Yan looked like he was the boss.

At this time, Yang Yan looked at the two Pokémon behind his mother: "Poison Rose, Hunting Swallowtail, long time no see, do you still remember me?"

Poison Rose and Hunting Swallowtail narrowed their eyes and greeted Yang Yan happily.

And Reiko also noticed the flaming horse beside Yang Yan: "Xiaoyan, could this flaming horse be..."

"Mom, you are right, it is the child of dad's flaming horse!" Yang Yan introduced: "Flame Horse, this is my mother!"

"Yu!"

Flame Horse greeted happily.

"Okay, okay, Xiaoyan, you have raised him very well. He looks no worse than his father!"

If it were other Pokémon, Reiko might not know much about it, but she was very familiar with the Flame Pony, so she could naturally tell the status of the Yang Yan Flame Pony at a glance.

"By the way, speaking of dad, is he at home now?" Yang Yan looked around.
