Pokémon: The Climb

"Friend, are you going to Tianguan Mountain?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Yang Yan's contemplation.

"Is something wrong?" He turned around and looked at the speaker, a man in his 30s wearing gray sportswear.

The man showed a friendly smile: "There are many dangers in Tianguan Mountain. It seems to me that my friend is alone, which is too dangerous. If you don't mind, you might as well join my team, and everyone can take care of each other."

"By the way, my name is Kondo, and I'm fairly well-known around here. You can just ask anyone."

Yang Yan glanced behind the man.

This is a team of 5 people, 3 men and 2 women. Kondo is the oldest and stands at the front, so he is undoubtedly the captain. The other four people looked no older than 4, and one of the girls looked as young as a newcomer.

"Kondo is a pretty good person who can take care of newcomers!" Yang Yan secretly guessed.

Of course, just because there is no ill will, it does not mean that Yang Yan will agree to join.

"Thank you for your invitation, but no need, I have no plans to form a team with anyone!"

Kondo was not angry, but continued to persuade, "Friend, it is a good thing to be vigilant when you go out alone, but a person's power is limited after all. Why don't you think about it again?"

"No need!" Yang Yan waved goodbye.

After he walked away, a more mature woman behind Kondo couldn't help but curled her lips: "Captain, this kind of stupid young man refused your kindness, he really deserves to die outside!"

Kondo frowned a little: "I've said it many times, when you go out, help as much as you can, especially the young trainers who have just gone out to experience, they need help even more. They don't understand the dangers of the outside world, and they need experienced people like us. People come here to remind me that you and I are here this way. Don’t say this kind of thing again!”

The woman shut up.

At this time, a man on the other side spoke: "Captain, I feel that someone is already following that kid. Do you think we should remind him and explain things clearly to him?"

Kondo thought for a moment: "Wait a minute. I guess people in the past are not willing to talk to us anymore. Let's first see how far into Tianguan Mountain he plans to go. If it's nearby, there's no need to worry about safety. If he plans to go further, It’s a place where it’s not too late to remind you when you fall down!”

The man nodded: "The captain is still thoughtful!"

In the distance, Yang Yan, who was about to walk out of the town completely, glanced behind him with the corner of his eye, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Interesting, someone is actually following me. How bold!"

As Haruhiko, who has experienced countless life and death crises, he was vaguely aware that someone was following him long before Kondo stopped him.

There were too many people in the town, so it was difficult for him to lock in for a while. But now that there are fewer people around, it becomes much easier to find each other.

"Follow if you want, but if you want to take action against me, don't blame me..."

Yang Yanyi is a very brave man and is not afraid of being targeted at all.

Tianguan Mountain is very large, so starting from the town, the 10 kilometers range is considered the peripheral area of ​​Tianguan Mountain. When you move around in this area, you basically don’t have to worry about someone killing people and stealing goods. Because there are many people who have experienced it, once they take action, it is very likely that they will be sanctioned by trainers full of justice.

The range of 10 kilometers to 20 kilometers is the area where most people choose to practice.

The strength of wild Pokémon in this area is already relatively strong, and there are many high-level Pokémon. It is a good place for training, exploration, and treasure hunting.

This is also the area where Team Kondo will go next.

There are dangers in this area, but there are also not many people who risk killing people and grabbing treasures.

Kondo decided that if Yang Yan did not leave this area, he would no longer take the initiative to remind Yang Yan.

……

Walking out of the town, Yang Yan took out a poke ball: "Please, hyperactive ape!"

With a flash of light, the lively and active hyperactive ape appeared.

It has been more than 10 months since it evolved. Without the drag of laziness, Hyperzoon's growth rate has finally reached the level of an ordinary Pokémon. It is now an intermediate level of strength, level 35.

Perhaps because he is so active, Hyperactive Ape likes to compete with Yangyan's other Pokémon whenever he has nothing to do, and he has learned a lot from it.

Whether it's detection, perception, combat, etc., it can do a great job.

Of course, all this is inseparable from the fact that the data of the hyperkinetic ape race itself is very comprehensive.

We are not completely away from human beings yet, and a hyperactive ape is enough to cope with most situations.

Since hyperkinetic apes are not very common in the Sinnoh region, they inevitably attract a lot of attention. But fortunately, at least it won't cause a commotion like the metal monster.

One of the people following Yang Yan touched his chin: "A hyperactive ape? This Pokémon is not common in Sinnoh. Could it be that this kid came from Fengyuan?"

"Coming from out of town? Brother, that's a fat sheep!" The boy next to him rubbed his hands excitedly.

"What are you yelling for? How can a trainer who dares to go to other regions to experience experience have no two brushes? Remember, you can't be too careful when facing this kind of person, otherwise it's easy to capsize in the gutter!"

"Then there's no need to be so careful, right? Brother, do you think that guy is so young, and with two brushes, he can beat so many of us?" The younger brother curled his lips, looking down on Yang Yan.

"You continue to follow, I will go back and talk to the boss first. Remember, the boss has not spoken, so you must not take action without permission!"

The younger brother was quite impatient, "Oh, I understand, brother, don't worry!"

After the others left, the young man muttered again: "If others take action first, then it's not my fault... Good things come to those who see them!"

……

As he led the hyperactive ape forward, there were fewer and fewer people around him, and gradually, he was the only one left.

Just in case, he released a few more Pokémon: Styrofowl, Boscodora, and Seathorn.

These are Pokémon that need to increase actual combat experience and strengthen tacit understanding with Yang Yan.

Of course, so do the giant rock snakes and metal monsters.

But one of them is too big, and the other is extremely rare, so it is not convenient to release them for the time being.

Yang Yan turned around and looked back, "I feel like there are more people following me. I hope it's not an illusion..."

Walking on the hillside, Yang Yan noticed that there were almost no people who acted alone like him, and it might be because of this that more people coveted him.

But he didn't care.

Putting Sea Spiny Dragon on Boscordora's shoulders, Yang Yan directed the Pokémon to move forward.

The barbs on the Sea Spined Dragon's body were something that only the steel-type Boss Cordora could care less about, and it had difficulty moving on land, so it had to be arranged this way.

Boscodora's speed was slow, and he could even feel the shaking of the earth with every step he took, but for Yang Yan, it was just right.

Without the help of external force, his walking speed is about the same as Boscodora.

The hyperkinetic ape in front is responsible for swimming, the giant needle wasp in mid-air is responsible for reconnaissance, the Boscodora at the rear provides protection, and the sea spiny dragon provides support.

A simple team was formed.
