Pokémon: The Climb

As soon as she said Yang Yan's father, Reiko suddenly laughed: "Didn't you send back a few elf eggs before? Now your father often takes them to the mountains for training. It seems that the initial enthusiasm for the trainer seems to have returned. It’s like waking up.”

"He has been saying that when the apprentice he brings can take over for him in a while, he will quit his job as a ranger and start traveling."

Yang Yan glanced in the direction of the jungle: "Dad has been depressed for too long these years. It's time to go out for a walk and relax."

Then, he looked back: "By the way, you just said that dad has an apprentice?"

"Yes," Reiko chuckled, "And you know this guy!"

"I know him? So he's my classmate at the ranger academy? I didn't expect someone in our class to pass the exam. Who is it?" Yang Yan asked curiously.

"He is your classmate and roommate - Shoya!"

Yang Yan couldn't help but said in surprise: "General? He actually passed the ranger assessment, okay!"

Shoya is somewhat talented as a trainer, but he is far behind in terms of learning, and rangers need to master a lot of knowledge. Yang Yan doesn't know how he passed the cultural class inspection.

He originally thought that after graduating from the ranger academy, he would go on a trip, and then, like most travelers in the world, start a climbing path such as playing in gyms and league competitions.

I never thought it would be such a result.

Reiko said, "We talked a lot with Shoya after he came, so we know how hard he worked to get the qualification as a ranger."

"According to him, a large part of it is because of you, because your passing of the Hoenn Alliance trial had a great impact on him!"

"Me?" Yang Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled hoarsely: "I didn't expect that I would take credit for it!"

Reiko looked at the time, paused, and then said, "They left not long ago. If you catch up now, you might be able to find them."

Yang Yan shook his head and looked at his mother: "No, they will be back in the evening. Now your son, I just want to spend more time with you!"

Hearing this, Reiko's eyes were full of tenderness...

……

"Mom, you must have planted these fruit trees little by little over the years, right?" Yang Yan looked at them one by one and occasionally reached out to touch them: "I can see that you have cultivated them very well!"

Reiko looked at the poisonous roses and hunting swallowtail butterflies beside her, and smiled: "It's not me, it's us."

Yang Yan slapped his mouth gently: "I said the wrong thing, and it's everyone's credit!"

Tomioka gave him the tree fruit cultivation information, and he gave it to his mother.

This part of the information actually comes with making Poké Balls. In the past five years, Yang Yan has read all the information, but he has never planted one himself, so in real terms, he is just an armchair Zhao Kuo, probably. Not as good as my mother.

Of course, Yang Yan can be said to have completely mastered the Tree Fruit Elf Ball.

He no longer knows how many he has made. Some of them have been collected by him as wild Pokémon and sold, and a considerable number of them are lying in his space ring, ready for use at all times.

Looking at these fruit trees and thinking of the fruit pokeballs in the space ring, how could Yangyan not think of Tomioka, the teacher who could be said to have changed his life?

It can be said that Yang Yan's smooth journey in the beginning was all due to Tomioka's selfless support.

"Mom, is Grandpa Tomioka... okay?"

Reiko's happy expression suddenly stopped, and she became a little lonely: "The old man passed away three years ago. When he left, your father and I were beside him, as well as Mr. Qianli from the Chenghua Gym. "

"The old man passed away peacefully. My only regret is that you were not there at the time..."

Hearing this, Yang Yan's good mood instantly disappeared, and he stared blankly in the direction of Chenghua City.

Three years ago, he was still with Carlos and had almost lost contact with Hoenn, so others who wanted to contact him probably couldn't contact him. After he came back, it was temporarily inconvenient for him to come back because of the Shanhai Team, so he never knew that Tomioka had passed away.

He murmured in a low voice: "Grandpa Tomioka, I can't forgive you. I will go to pay homage to you in two days and keep vigil for you for three months as a memorial!"

Although the voice was small, it revealed a firmness.

Reiko also said: "My child, you should keep vigil for the old man, I support you!"

Reiko is very happy when Yang Yan comes back, and naturally wants to spend more time with Yang Yan, but she knows that they still have a long time in the future, and guarding Tomioka's grave is what Yang Yan should do as a disciple.

"By the way, there is a place where purple bud fruits are grown not far away. I will take you to see it!"

Reiko pulled Yang Yan forward and back.

This is her way of getting the two of them to try to temporarily forget about the memory of the deceased.

"Purple Bud Fruit? You should go and see it!"

Yang Yan obtained the purple bud fruit cultivation information from Shan Cheng, and there was also a copy of the black glass flower cultivation information. Of course, the most important thing was the coercion team information that Yang Yan was experimenting with.

The environment here is not suitable for black glass flowers, so Reiko only planted some purple bud fruits.

"Xiaoyan, do you know? Since I got these fruit trees and these purple bud fruits, I have something to do every day. I finally no longer feel so idle. I am very happy that you sent back these materials."

Yang Yan felt a little distressed.

To be honest, many people cannot accept staying in a sparsely populated place all year round.

It was nice to have someone to accompany her, but Yang Yan's father had to go out during the day, so after finishing housework every day, Reiko could only stare outside.

At first, because Yang Yan was not old enough to go to school, Reiko had to take care of the young Yang Yan, so she didn't feel it. But after Yang Yan left home, the feeling of loneliness became more and more obvious.

The best way to face loneliness is to find something to do for yourself.

When people get busy, they often neglect many things.

Just at this time, Yang Yan sent the fruit tree cultivation information, and later the purple bud fruit cultivation information, so Reiko could live happily and calmly for so many years.

"Because of these tree fruits and purple bud fruits, the family has saved some money over the years. Originally, your father wanted to use this money to ask someone to buy some high-quality Pokémon. After all, your father never gave up. To become stronger.”

Reiko looked at Yang Yan and said with a pleased smile: "It just so happens that at this time, you sent back three highly qualified fire elf eggs. I'm afraid you can't even imagine your father's expression after reading the letter."

"Including the Umbo you originally gave to your dad, there are a total of 4 good-level Pokémon. Compared with your dad who first found you a good-level Pokémon as your starting Pokémon, they are much more powerful. Yes. Your dad is a strong man. If you hadn’t sent these Pokémon back to you as your son, he would never have accepted them given his temperament."

"Xiaoyan, although you have not been here these past few years, we always feel that you are around us..."
