Pokémon: Rise of the Orange League

The cable car climbed up the mountain slowly, and Fergus and Xiaodan sat in the cable car together.

"Oh! So Luwu is your elder brother? He doesn't look like one." Xiaodan chatted with Fergus along the way.

"Yes, we are not brothers." Fergus explained.

"Has the construction of Luwu's gym started? I still want to take time to visit him." Xiaodan asked.

"Sorry, I just came back from the Unova region and I don't know much about these things."

The cable car's climbing speed is not fast, but it is better than climbing with bare hands. It didn't take long for the cable car to reach the station on the top of the mountain.

Fergus jumped off the cable car first and looked around the surrounding environment. A small rest point was built on the top of the mountain.

"Let's go to the house over there to get some equipment first, and then go down to find someone." Xiaodan suggested. Because of the climate problem in the Orange Islands, Fergus was wearing thin clothes.

"Well, it's troublesome." Fergus didn't refuse.

The two entered the house at the rest point to get the equipment for activities above the snow line, but suddenly there was a noisy sound outside.

"Hey! Is there anyone on the top of the mountain here? Is it the owner of Xiaodan Pavilion?" Fengjian said.

"It should be some challenger! I'll go over and take a look." Ah Xing rubbed his hands and walked directly to the house here.

"Fergus?"

With a cry, everyone's attention was attracted.

Seeing the iconic short golden hair, all the members of the expedition team were a little excited.

"Long time no see!" Fergus looked at Ah Xing and said.

Alu was responsible for the usual contact, and Ah Xing really hadn't seen Fergus for a long time.

"Why are you here? When did you come back? Where are the Hongxin people?" Maybe it was because of the excitement of not seeing each other for too long, Ah Xing asked several questions in one breath.

Fergus first invited everyone to go into the house to warm up, and then smiled and patted Ah Xing on the shoulder.

"You are now the leader of the expedition team, why are you still so startled? We received a message from Alu on the way back and learned that you were conducting an expedition here, so we sailed over to pick you up on the way."

Axing scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"Hey, I..."

Fergus seemed to have predicted what he wanted to say, and quickly waved to stop him, looking at the other members of the expedition team.

"Go back and tell the boss what everyone gained from this operation?"

"So far, we have only found a series of unrecognizable footprints, which have been recorded." Fengjian hurried over and said.

Fergus looked at Fengjian's clothes carefully.

"Aren't you cold, kid?"

Fergus blushed and said with his neck stiff, "Not bad."

"Take care of yourself, Fengjian. Axing, how long will your expedition last?"

"Although I can return directly now, I still hope to try again and get as much intelligence and information as possible."

Fergus nodded slightly.

"Then let's go together! I'll go with you."

After resting for a while at the top of the mountain, the group went to the location marked by Axing again.

The area above the snow line of Mount Naipuru is not so steep, but the snow that never melts and the occasional blizzards are the biggest challenges.

"Fergus, how far have you cultivated your Pokémon now?" Axing and Fergus walked side by side at the front of the team, exploring the surrounding environment while asking.

"I got a lot of new Pokémon in Unova and participated in a regional conference. But the results are not good, and I can't compare with the boss." Fergus said bluntly.

"A lot?" Axing's curiosity was aroused. In the past few months he stayed in the Orange Alliance, in addition to cultivating the Howler Whale, he also captured a Pidgeot to cooperate with Dr. Uchiki's research on the Otsuka fruit.

During the inspection, he passed an island and saw a huge Magikarp in the sea, but the Pokémon was so fast in the water that it disappeared in an instant.

A Xing sighed for a long time because he missed a giant beast.

"Speaking of this, we actually prepared a gift for you. We will give it to you when we get on the ship." Fergus said.

"My Frog was promoted to the elite level during the conference, and then I also captured a Toad King, Frog, and Bulbasaur. Before I came back, I exchanged a Frog with a Carlos trainer. There are also some transitional Pokémon." Fergus continued.

"All frogs?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No problem." A Xing smiled. Isn't he also a fan of giant beasts? Fergus may be a fan of frog Pokémon.

"But what does this overused Pokémon mean?" A Xing stillSoon, I found something strange in the chat.

"The boss mentioned to me a long time ago that he wanted to create a new battle mode, which required a large number of different types of Pokémon, which could be considered to be cultivated by our recycling station. There are also functional Pokémon or auxiliary Pokémon that can be rented to the members of the recycling station for use." Fergus explained.

After arriving at the designated location, everyone began to search for possible traces in the snow.

Perhaps it was finally a good luck, Axing soon found that there were unknown scratches on the rocks in this area.

"There seems to be something on the stone here?" Axing was a little uncertain.

When everyone heard it, they quickly gathered around.

"It looks like a trace of friction from something. You can also pay attention to whether there are traces on other rocks." Fergus took a look at the situation on the rock.

Such scratches seem to have no rules and cannot be used as useful information at all.

Although the number of Pokémon living on Mount Naipuru is very small, there are many trainers who have reached the top.

Maybe it was the trace left by the collision of the ice ship during a challenge.

"But this area shouldn't be the main direction for glacier skiing, right?" Fergus looked at the top of the mountain thoughtfully.

The area they are currently searching is on the verge of the usual gym assessment. If it weren't for the poor control of the ice city, it would be unlikely to enter this area.

Further expansion of the search soon yielded results. Jia Lan excitedly discovered that there were very obvious claw marks on a rock protruding from the snow.

"There's something going on here!" She shouted with some surprise.

There were three parallel scratches on this ordinary protruding rock, and the ends of the scratches were very sharp, which looked like the marks left by some hard claws.

"From the distance between the claw marks, the size of this claw is really amazing!" Fengjian quickly concluded.

"It's hard to say, maybe it's the mark carved by the external claw moves." Another member of the expedition team expressed a different opinion.
