Pokémon: The Road to the Champion of Full-Level Players

After listening to Xiaohao's words, Fang Yuxuan fell into endless thinking.

If what Xiaohao said was true, what did he see when he first came to Yuejian Mountain?

Looking back again, there was indeed darkness inside the Yuejian Mountain, not as clear as he originally thought.

Ahead was like a pitch-black abyss, far beyond what the torch-like lamps on the stone pillars at the edge of the cantilevered corridor could illuminate. The space, which is like a very wide atrium in a shopping mall, is hazy and unclear. After seeing it for a long time, you feel like you are trapped in it.

On the third floor, looking at the first floor that is more than ten meters away, it is basically difficult to see clearly what is going on on the ground floor without the illumination of any lamps.

It can be seen that lamps play a very important role in allowing members of various branches to see scenes within the range of distant light sources. As for the darkness in the middle, nothing can be done about it.

If what he saw not long ago was not members of various branches using flying Pokémon to fight, then what could it be?

Fang Yuxuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly felt that there might be something fishy there.

Could it be that the danger of dizziness comes from there? The movements that Aaliya prompted, and the blood stains I saw, the unknown forces hidden in the darkness, the darkness, the forces, hiding... Fang Yuxuan's eyes became bright, and he always felt that he was infinitely close to the truth.

Without any further pause, he hugged Pikachu and Vine Snake with one hand, stretched out his free hand, and patted Xiao Hao on the shoulder, "Thanks!"

After leaving these words, he walked downwards without stopping. He had already forgotten Xiaohao's previous inquiry, so he ignored it.

Xiao Hao looked at Kyoko's hurried steps and her leaving figure. He was a little baffled and had an indescribable feeling. He thought Kyoko had discovered something important and went to look for Cadre Long Yu.

After all, in his impression, Kyoko always had a calm and composed image, and rarely had such an expression.

"Huh? He seems to be holding a leaf in his hand... What exactly did he find? I really want to know." Xiao Hao muttered. Unable to find out, he could only shake his head in disappointment, and then Think no more.

Immediately afterwards, he focused on the initial topic about defeating Luo Yi, and couldn't help but sigh:

"That's awesome. I knew he could do it. Fortunately, I recommended the Trainers Guild to him. No, what's really fortunate is that I could meet such a strong trainer in Viridian Forest, and he's not overconfident or arrogant. , are even interested in joining us.”

Suddenly, in a dark corner, a figure squatted here, and a disdainful snort sounded from the tip of his nose.

It's just that Xiao Hao, who was not far away, didn't seem to hear it, and was still admiring and sighing to himself.

……

Entering the cave similar to a stairwell, Fang Yuxuan's steps became faster and faster, striding across several steps.

Just now, he did not rashly use a flashlight or the light of Pokémon to explore the dark area in the circular walkway.

Firstly, it would be too risky. Not to mention whether the light beam passes through the dark hollow area and reaches the opposite side. Will the guards on the opposite side mistakenly think that it is a branch member who is provoking? Even if it does not happen, once it is as Fang Yuxuan said, Just as he guessed, he would definitely alert the enemy and attract the other party's attention, which would bring unnecessary trouble and attention to himself.

The second reason is that the unknown existence deliberately left resources that even the major branches coveted. If they knew that they were discovered at this moment, they would never give up and might even launch a violent counterattack.

At least when the members of the trainer branch are unprepared, once the decisive battle starts in advance, there is no doubt that they will be the ones who suffer heavy losses. In addition, judging from their current state, even if they are prepared, it will be difficult for them to gain any advantage by then.

Fang Yuxuan would not despise an opponent hidden in the dark. He did not think that a force that could freely throw out resources that even the four major trainer branches were crazy about and sent many members to compete for would be so easy to deal with.

You must know that Xiao Luo and Xi Yi, who also have full-level Pokémon and have many secrets, can't escape from the predicament even if they work together. It is only with the help of Arya that they can escape the pursuit of the twelve star cadres. , it can be seen that even with powerful Pokémon, it is not possible to travel unimpeded in this world.

Unless he releases all the Pokémon unscrupulously, that will indeed solve a lot of troubles, but this incident will also become uncontrollable.

How could he, who had just had a heart-to-heart conversation with Pikachu, forget that Pokémon all have their own past and consciousness. Even if it is his own Pokémon, there is not much difference between the two parties as there is no memory of getting along with each other. The Pokémon can only judge and choose whether to recognize him as a trainer based on instinct and intuition. .

In this way, he could not guarantee whether the Pokémon would "revolt" on the spot. After all, when using other people's high-level Pokémon in the game, you also need a sufficient number or specific badges to make them obedient, not to mention that in reality it requires a certain amount of emotion.

Haha, even if they are all obedient, they cannot release too much, otherwise I will become the target of public criticism for being so weird. This is completely contrary to my previous ideas... Fang Yuxuan rejected this idea.

In his arms, Pikachu was of course able to sense his thoughts. It automatically ignored his various thoughts and focused entirely on how to deal with the unknown enemy.

Therefore, its playful cheeks and expression also became serious.

Vine Snake couldn't help but become nervous. Although it couldn't sense the trainer's thoughts immediately like Pikachu, it could feel something from their expressions, words and deeds.

After quickly passing through the sixth, fifth, and fourth floors, Fang Yuxuan finally arrived at the third floor. There were faint beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Whoo~"

Stabilizing his slightly trembling feet and weak legs, Fang Yuxuan supported the stone wall and walked out of the cave.

Fortunately, I have been running a lot recently, otherwise I would have been exhausted from going back and forth for more than ten floors... Fang Yuxuan muttered breathlessly in his heart.

He looked at the top of his head and estimated that the average one floor was at least two or three floors high than a normal building, not to mention a total of eighteen floors. Plus the last section leading to Yuejijishan Square, it was at least several times as high as one floor. layer channel.

In his opinion, he is equivalent to a mental patient. He keeps climbing up and down a mountain of nearly 2,000 meters at night. Even if there are stairs all the way, he cannot withstand it no matter how good his physical strength is.

Walking in the circular passage surrounding the "cliff", Fang Yuxuan came to the place where he and Long Yugan separated not long ago, and found that the other party was no longer here.

In the empty passage, there were only dim lights and tall black shadows on the ground.

Holding Pikachu and Vine Snake in his arms, Fang Yuxuan thought about where Leader Long Yu might go.

He didn't expect Long Yu to wait here forever, that was simply unrealistic.

At this moment, several people walked up not far away. They were all men, some were young people in their twenties and some were teenagers.

As they were marching forward in unison, they found a shadow in front of them that always stayed in place.

Several people were stunned for a moment without any communication. They took out the Poké Balls at the same time in an orderly manner, holding them tightly in their hands, ready to throw the Pokémon at any time.

They formed a triangle formation, with the oldest young man standing at the front, the younger young men standing on his left and right, and then the two equally experienced young men at the edge.

In this way, they carefully walked forward along the curved corridor.

They had a tacit understanding, and without communicating, they tiptoed at the same time, trying not to make too much noise, and approached Fang Yuxuan.

The movements and expressions are in perfect sync.

Those people could notice Fang Yuxuan's shadow, and he could naturally detect the other party's actions.

"What are you doing?" Fang Yuxuan asked boldly, feeling calm in his heart.

His identity has been confirmed by Long Yu, so he does not need to worry that the members of the Changpan branch will not recognize him.

When those people saw that the other person spoke first without any fear, they realized that he probably meant no harm.

Among them, the leading young man asked tentatively: "Are you...?"

Fang Yuxuan: "???"

Realizing that the other party did not recognize him, he concealed his inner thoughts and replied calmly: "Kyoko."

"Kyoko..." The man repeated something in a low voice, which seemed to sound familiar and he thought deeply about it for a long time.

"Yes." Fang Yuxuan had expected it and confirmed it very cooperatively, proving that the other party heard correctly.

The place became calm, and there was no other action from both sides, waiting for the young man to recall.

After a while, the leading young man looked at Fang Yuxuan and said with a strange look: "Kyoko... who is it? It seems that there is some impression, but there seems to be no impression, hiss ~ I can't remember, forget it. Hey! You are our Tokiwa branch Really? Did you go to the wrong floor?"

Fang Yuxuan: "..."

Looking at the other party's appearance, it seemed that walking on the wrong floor was a common thing in their eyes. He opened his mouth and was about to explain when footsteps came from behind him again.

Looking back, several people were slowly walking over in a U-letter formation from another direction.

The leader was a young man whom Fang Yuxuan had met before. Before Long Yu took him into the cave where the key items were stored, the young man had talked with Long Yu.

The young man A Mian glanced at Kyoko and the other patrol team who were facing each other. He and the people behind him were stunned for a moment.

"Tobita Fei? Why didn't I see your team even though we were patrolling for half the time? It turns out you are here! We thought something happened on your side." Amian looked at a few people not far behind Kyoko.

"By the way...what are you doing here?" Amian asked curiously.

On the other side, the leading young man named Feitian Fei said without hesitation: "Ah Mian, you are here just in time. There is a guy of unknown origin here. Stop him quickly. I want to question this guy." The details and his purpose.”

"Ah?" Amian looked at him in surprise, and then looked at Kyoko's face, as if he had heard something funny, and smiled.

Feitian Fei was puzzled by his sudden smile and the young man who spoke.

Amian explained with a smile: "His name is Kyoko, he is a member of our branch. I saw him before when I followed cadre Long Yu into the cave entrance."

"Then why can he run around at will?" Tobita Fei frowned. He didn't see the badge on Kyoko's chest that could prove his identity, which made him even more suspicious.

"Not sure, maybe it's because he's new here." Amian shook his head, shrugged, and responded.

Fang Yuxuan, who was in the middle, listened quietly to the conversation between the two and realized that the young man named Feitian Fei had a misunderstanding, so he did not intend to say anything more.

He put down Pikachu and Vine Snake, and immediately took off the T-class backpack on his back, pretending to rummage through it, but actually using the cover of the backpack, he took out the Viridian branch badge from the silver ring.

The surface of the pure gold badge shows that the badge is full of brilliance, as if exuding Yishao, making people feel admirable.

There were words engraved on the badge. He could recognize the words but couldn't write them out. Kyoko was a member of the Tokiwa branch of the Pokémon Trainers Guild.

His badge is exactly the same as the one on his side. The only difference is the name on it.

On the other side, the badge on Tobi Tobi's chest is different from them. There are less obvious lines on the edge of his badge. Judging from his appearance, he should be an elite trainer.

However, the pattern of that badge is much lighter and less complicated than the badges of Luo Yi and Fei'er. Either the badges worn by the elite trainers of the two branches are in different styles, or it is Fei'er. Tian Fei's elite level is not as refined as Luo Yi and Fei'er.

Seeing that Kyoko was wearing a badge that could prove her status as a member of the Tokiwa branch, Tobita Tobi nodded invisibly.

There were no other questions, so he led his companions behind him and continued their patrol work.

When he walked up to Kyoko, he was about to go around and walk forward.

"Hey, please wait a moment. Do you know where cadre Long Yu is?" Fang Yuxuan did not forget to look for Long Yu and asked Feitian Fei and Amian.

The young man who proved Kyoko's identity and was wearing a white T-shirt and shorts, Amian pondered for a moment and said: "Well, not long ago, I saw Boss Long Yu still staying on the third floor, but he was... probably one or two He was here for about an hour, and I haven't seen him since."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Feitian Fei and others.

The few people looked at each other, but no one spoke. The leader, Feitian Fei, an elite trainer from the guild, thought for a while and said:

"We have never seen Boss Long Yu at all. The last time we saw him was during the chaos. Since you saw him but we didn't, it could only be that Long Yu left the third floor before we got here."

Didn't the patrol teams on both sides see Long Yu? From this point of view, he should really not be on the third floor... Fang Yuxuan nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that Kyoko didn't respond, Tobita Fei asked: "Do you have anything to do with Officer Long Yu? If we see him, we can help you convey it."

Fang Yuxuan, who had this intention, was about to speak. He glanced at the darkness outside the edge of the passage, hesitated, and finally chose not to convey it.

In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, and to prevent people hiding in the dark from hearing their conversation, they would launch an attack before alerting cadre Long Yu.

"No need, I think I'd better use my communication watch to talk to Officer Long Yu directly." Fang Yuxuan said with a kind smile.

Immediately, he thanked several people and walked towards the cave behind him, leaving the third floor.

Feitian Fei and Amian stood together, watching Kyoko disappear from sight. They looked at each other, but in the end they couldn't say anything.

At this time, a young man in the crowd quietly walked out and poked Feitian Fei's shoulder with his finger.

Feitian Fei looked back and said quite seriously: "No matter what happens, you should shout 'report' first. Have you forgotten the rules given to you? I am a newcomer and an ordinary member of the branch. Are you also a newcomer who has only been here a few days? Is this how you should behave if you want to become a guild guardian?"

"Yes, I'm sorry!" The young man lowered his head first, then raised his hands high, puffed his cheeks, and shouted with all his strength: "Report!"

Seeing this, Feitian Fei nodded with satisfaction, but his expression did not change. He still said seriously: "What's the matter? Tell me!"

"Um... I remember that Kyoko just now seems to be the person who sent us a group message before." The boy said softly.

"Oh? It's him!" Feitian Fei suddenly realized and finally remembered this familiar name.

He first looked back at Amian, who was not far away, and confirmed with his eyes that this young man had a maturity different from his normal age. Then he looked at the young man reporting in front of him again and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? "

The young man touched the back of his head and said awkwardly: "I never thought of it just now."

As he was talking, he seemed to remember something again and said: "Oh, by the way, when I was taking a break just now, I heard from the people above that Kyoko seemed to have defeated the future new star elite of the Hualan branch, Luo Yi. Hmm. ...I don’t know if it’s true.”

"What!?" Feitian Fei opened his eyes wide, and his voice involuntarily rose a few degrees, like a roaring lion, which frightened the boy opposite and made his legs tremble.

Not only that young man, but also his companions, and even Amian and the team behind him were startled by this "Hedong lion's roar".

"You, you, you, you kid, do you dare to say it again, that Kyoko just now, who did he defeat before!?"

Tobita Fei pointed at the boy excitedly, seeming a little angry. He usually hated being deceived, and in the Tokiwa branch, these boys often joked about similar topics.

He didn't think it was okay to joke around at times like this.

Even though he was too frightened by his patrol team leader to speak, the young man still had the courage to speak truthfully:

"He, uh... I also heard from others that he should have defeated Luo Yi from the Hualan branch. It is said that there were many people watching the battle at the time. Yes, it seems that Luo Yi's girlfriend, Lucy, was also I came and watched the whole process.”

"Lucy? How could she come to Moon View Mountain? Boy, don't play with fire. Humph! Those boys above are really crazy. They dared to joke casually during patrol. Look at me, I won't educate them after dawn." Tian Fei was furious. He had witnessed the decline of the Changpan branch over the years, as well as the strength of Luo Yi, the genius trainer of the Hualan branch.

With a clear understanding of right and wrong, he would certainly not believe the boy's lies.

Of course, the real reason he didn't want to believe it was that he had fought against the talented trainer from the Hualan branch in the recent chaos.

At that time, not only did he lose at an absolute disadvantage, but he also witnessed several other elite guild companions with considerable strength being defeated by Luo Yi without any suspense.

You must know that they who have reached the elite level of trainers in the guild can already be regarded as powerful trainers in the middle and upper levels in the Pokémon world. They are within reach of the top king level. As for himself, he once participated in the Pokémon World Championships, and his best result reached the advanced level.

Ranking among the top 100 players in the world shows how strong he is. Even so, he is still no match for Luo Yi.

The most important thing is that some of them fought together with Luo Yi.

Just when he, who had a deep understanding of how powerful Luo Yi was, felt extremely unhappy about this, the young man's words completely froze him in place.

"However, there were several Hualan branch members who were taking a break who mentioned this matter. They were in a very low mood, and it didn't look like they were pretending. Moreover, I know two of them very well, and they still care about their appearance. They worshiped Luo Yi more than most people, and at that time, they also acquiesced in this matter." The young man explained with some grievance.

Feitian Fei was immediately speechless. Seeing the young man's expression, it was difficult for him to have doubts, because he knew the character of the young man in front of him and knew that there was no reason for this child to risk being punished and deceived him several times.

The other people present also had similar thoughts. They stayed in place, making the place silent again. After recovering for a while, they subconsciously looked in the direction where the young man left just now, as if that figure As if they were still here, they couldn't calm down for a long time.

Swallowing his saliva, Feitian Fei looked not far away, at the young man Amian who was the leader of a patrol team. Seriously thinking about the young man who was neither humble nor arrogant, without any pretensions, he asked after hesitating:

"Just now, was that person really Kyoko? Is he really... from our Tokiwa branch?"

Amian obviously did not accept this fact immediately, but after hearing his inquiry, he quickly reacted, looked at him who was obviously suspicious, nodded, and said solemnly: "Well, that's right."

"Hiss~" Feitian Fei took a breath, and the word "shock" was written all over his face.

After being stunned for a long time, his eyes gradually lost focus and he murmured to himself: "Is our Viridian branch finally showing signs of turning around? That person, no! That genius is really a member of the Viridian branch. !”

As he spoke, he, the oldest person in the area, his eyes sparkled with crystal light and his mood became excited.

……
