Pokémon: The Climb

After Jin Zhi left, Qianli took Yang Yan to another separate room.

"Yang Yan, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you gave me a big surprise. I didn't expect that there would be a champion of the League Championship in my gym one day!"

Yang Yan was stunned: "Teacher, do you know everything?"

Qianli smiled and said, "There are some things that someone will tell me even if I don't ask specifically."

"By the way, I heard Takadera say some time ago that the battle between the Rocket Team and the Water Fleet and other forces has ended, and the Shanhai Team has officially become history. I guessed that you will be back soon."

"When you come back this time, your identity as an apprentice at the Chenghua Gym will finally come to an end."

"Speaking of which, I didn't teach you much. The fact that you have made such great progress and reached this day is all due to your own efforts."

Yang Yan shook his head: "Teacher, without your appreciation, I am probably working hard to become a forest ranger now. How could I have achieved what I am today? And the things you taught me really helped me a lot, so You must not say that.”

Qianli did not dwell on this topic, and added: "The gym owner will fight with the gym apprentices who originally graduated to confirm whether they are strong enough to participate in the alliance conference. However, since you are already the champion of the alliance conference, this identity is the most important. It’s a good proof of strength, so let’s avoid the battle.”

Whether they fight or not, it really doesn't matter to the two of them. Qianli knows that Yang Yan is strong enough to take care of himself, and that's enough.

Fighting is a means, not an end.

Yang Yan nodded: "I can do it."

"By the way, teacher, after all these years, why is Senior Brother Jin Zhi still in the gym?"

"Jin Zhi's strength has indeed reached the time when it's time to leave, but unlike you, he doesn't want to travel, and he doesn't want to participate in the alliance meeting. He just wants to be an ordinary employee in the gym." Speaking of this, Qianli He was also quite helpless: "I have persuaded Jin Zhi many times, but he didn't know what to do when he left here. He is easy-going and doesn't like to fight. He just wants to live an ordinary life. This is really a waste of his talent. "

"Is that so... Teacher, don't mind. Everyone has their own choice. Maybe senior brother will figure it out after a while."

Qianli sighed: "It's difficult to cure that temper with money. But forget it, I don't have to drive him away. After all, he has been here since the gym was first built. Without him, I really I can’t find anyone who can run the gym on his behalf.”

"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore." Qianli put aside those troubles and looked at Yang Yan again: "You just came back. Have you been to Mr. Tomioka's place?"

"Teacher, actually I came back three days ago. I went back home first and then came here. I already know about Grandpa Tomioka from my parents." Yang Yan looked a little lonely: "Grandpa passed away. I can't serve him at that time, I feel sorry for grandpa, so I have decided to go there tomorrow to pay homage and keep vigil for Grandpa Tomioka for three months."

"Watching the mourning for three months...you are considerate. I think the old man's soul in heaven will also feel your filial piety." Qianli felt Yang Yan's heart from Yang Yan's actions.

At this time, he asked again: "Although you are really leaving Chenghua Gym, I still want to ask, Yang Yan, have you decided whether you want to be a specialist or a non-specialist?"

Qianli asked Yang Yan this question at the beginning, but Yang Yan had not yet thought about it and dealt with it temporarily. After all, he had just become a trainer and needed time to think carefully, so Qianli didn't force him.

Now after so many years, Yang Yan has even become the league champion. If he still can't figure out his own path, it would be unreasonable, so Qianli asked this question.

"Teacher, I have decided to take the non-specialized path!" Yang Yan replied firmly.

"You should know that this road becomes more difficult as you go to the back, so can you tell me the reason?" Qianli said calmly, as if he was not surprised.

Yang Yan slowly explained: "Teacher, which path should I take? I was a little confused at first, but my experience abroad in the past few years made me understand that if I chose to take the path of specialization at the beginning, I might not survive at all. Not until now.”

"So you can face more complex environments because you are not specialized? But you have to know that with your current strength, you will no longer face so many dangers unless you insist on taking risks."

Qianli's words actually revealed his hope that Yang Yan could take the path of specialization.

Yang Yan raised his head slightly, with complicated eyes: "Teacher, sometimes people can't help themselves. When danger comes, it doesn't depend on whether you take the initiative to provoke it. Moreover, now I don't have time to take the professional path again. road."

"Well, if that's the case, then you have to work harder." Qianli didn't say much, only hoping that Yang Yan wouldn't forget his original intention because of the difficulties.

Yang Yan nodded.

He really has no choice but to look back. After all, he has so many Pokémon with various attributes, so he can only keep moving forward on the road of non-specialization.

Because he doesn't want to let down any Pokémon that has been with him for a long time.

"By the way, I almost forgot. Since you chose to go non-specialized, you should have conquered Pokémon of the general type, right? After all, I told you about this a long time ago."

Yang Yan suddenly felt embarrassed: "Well... I'm sorry, teacher, I really haven't met a suitable normal Pokémon, so..."

"What? You didn't conquer a normal-type Pokémon? How can this be possible? You are from our Chenghua Gym after all. How can you not even have a normal-type Pokémon? No, this is absolutely not allowed. If you spread the word, others will What a joke!" Qianli suddenly stood up and grabbed Yang Yan: "You follow me to the backyard now to choose a lazy man!"

Yang Yan understood instantly.

Good guy, after talking for so long, I turned out to be waiting here.

Qianli's purpose is to ask Yang Yan to lead a lazy man away.

The Lazy Man clan is in excellent condition, but God always likes to joke and gave them that extremely troublesome characteristic - laziness!

It's not that no one has ever conquered them, but in the end they were unable to bring out their strength.

Qianli is already considered the best among them, but his success cannot be replicated.

In order to make more people like the Lazy Man Clan, and to have more people with whom to communicate and discuss, Qianli has worked very hard.

As long as there is a chance, he will definitely persuade others to subdue a lazy man.

He believes that only if more people are conquered, more possibilities will be born for the Lazy Man Clan.

Yang Yan also had a premonition that Qianli might ask him to conquer a lazy man this time he returned to Chenghua Gym, but he didn't expect that everything would happen so suddenly.

Just like what he said when he handed Ibrahimovic to his father, to be honest, he really doesn't lack a lazy man.

The lazy man, or the future king of leave, doesn't do his team any favors either.

"But looking at this posture, Qianli obviously won't give up until I subdue this lazy guy!"
