The world of hardcore Pokémon can also be very warm

Traveling also takes time, so Yang Yan could not stay at the institute for long. He set off four days later.

Of course, 4 days was not enough time to resurrect all the fossils, so when Yang Yan left, he could only choose to let a few Pokémon stay temporarily.

Before leaving, Yang Yan looked at the data compiled from the Pokémon that had just been resurrected.

The situation is not ideal.

Although the current technology has been able to greatly reduce the record of failed resurrections, it has not been completely eliminated. In addition, the resurrected Pokémon may not be normal and flawless, so you don’t need to count Yang Yan to know that according to If the current situation continues, this research will most likely lose money.

Moreover, the time and cost of turning losses into profits will be difficult to measure.

If he hadn't mastered the "wealth-generating machine" intimidation potion, Yang Yan would have decisively chosen to stop the resurrection process. Now... it's not a big deal to invest too much, and it won't even cause the slightest disturbance in Yang Yan's heart.

Before leaving, the only thing he felt was a pity was that no special and eye-catching Pokémon could be resurrected.

After all, a special existence like a fossil pterosaur is not something you can just have if you want it.

……

Six days later, Yang Yan, who rode the Tyrannosaurus and drove slowly and hurriedly, finally arrived at the Quartz Plateau again.

"Over the years, it doesn't seem like much has changed here..."

Thinking back to the last time I came to Quartz Plateau, it was when I had to represent the Yuhong Gym to compete for a spot to visit Kalos.

Time flies, and the once young boy has now grown into a well-known and powerful man. Did he expect this result at the time?

Yang Yan really wanted to ask himself about himself many years ago.

It's a pity that time cannot be turned back.

But he thinks there is a high probability that there is no such thing.

Because I used to not think so much.

Seize every opportunity and try your best, and you will be rewarded accordingly in the future.

Even if that future may not be good, at least you won’t regret the time you spent fighting for it.

Live each day well and leave the rest to time.

You and I, unwilling to be ordinary, can only do so...

After coming back to his senses, Yang Yan, who had already walked downstairs, noticed that this place seemed a little more lively than he thought.

"It should be the influence of the Four Heavenly Kings Candidate Challenge..." Yang Yan guessed.

After walking to the front desk and registering his identity and information, Yang Yan followed the waiter to the apartment building prepared by the Kanto League for the contestants.

Perhaps it was because he had already seen many other contestants. Although the waiter leading the way maintained a respectful attitude, he did not appear very curious and did not want to talk to Yang Yan.

Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that they are not allowed to have relationships with contestants.

After all, those who come to participate in this competition are all well-known and ranked trainers from various regions.

It is difficult to meet such a strong person, let alone establish a relationship with him.

So no matter how dull a person is, they should know that this short journey should not be wasted.

The other party remained silent. Apart from being stressed about discipline by his superiors, Yang Yan could not think of any other possibility.

After a while, the two stopped in front of a tall residential building.

"Mr. Oki, we are here."

While the waiter in front stopped and turned sideways to guide, another waiter in the building had already trotted over.

Obviously, the former should not be able to enter here.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yang Yan thanked him and walked in.

"Mr. Omu, let me take you to the room now!" The waiter who came later said with a smile, and at the same time, he handed over the room card he had just prepared with both hands.

Yang Yan was not surprised that the other party would know who he was. He must have just received the news from the front desk.

Compared to the previous one, this waiter seemed much more "enthusiastic".

"Mr. Omu, if you need anything, you can contact me at any time through the phone in the room. Please don't bother me." When arriving at the door of the room, the waiter added.

"I really have a question."

"Please tell me." The waiter opened the door and turned back with a smile.

"You may not know the specific information of the contestants, but you should know how many people have already moved in, right? I think this is not information that must be kept confidential."

"Mr. Omu is right, there is nothing to hide. As far as I know, including you, there are currently 22 players living here."

22 people...that is to say, the winners of the past four rounds of the King Ranking Battle are basically here.

The ranking competition of the Heavenly Kings is held every 10 years. After each round, three more people will be "promoted" to become the candidates for the Four Heavenly Kings.

Therefore, the theoretical net remaining number of people is 7. After 4 rounds, the total number is 28.

The reason why I didn't think more about it is because the winner of the fifth round is at least 5 years old and upwards of 50 years old.

Even if you pass the challenge and become a candidate for the Four Heavenly Kings at this age, it is basically impossible to go one step further and become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, so there is no need to participate.

At least that's what Yang Yan thinks.

Excluding some who lost their main Pokémon for some reason and were not strong enough to participate, 22 is already very close to the limit.

"It seems that everyone came quite early!"

Even though I arrived a day early, I was still almost the last one to arrive. I can only say that everyone’s enthusiasm was indeed very high.

"After all, it is a very important game." Before leaving, the waiter reminded again, "By the way, Mr. Omu, please don't miss the welcome party at 7 o'clock tomorrow evening, because there will be detailed explanations of the game then. "

"Is it 7 o'clock? I remember."

After sending the waiter away, Yang Yan went into the room and checked around.

It looks like a normal hotel, except that the space is larger and the home appliances, furniture and daily necessities are more fully prepared. There is not much worth mentioning.

Standing on the empty balcony, Yang Yan didn't see anyone else.

I don’t know if he’s not in the room or if he’s deliberately hiding away and not wanting to see anyone.

After all, those who can appear here are basically those who have separate pages on the Internet. As long as someone sees their appearance and someone searches the Internet, almost all of their information will be exposed.

As we all know, an important factor that affects the outcome of a battle is intelligence.

So if someone doesn't want to be targeted and doesn't want people to know their identity until the end, Yang Yan can understand it.

Even he himself was not ready to go out before tomorrow evening.

Although he is most likely different from others and is not a specialized trainer, but because there are only a few main members of the quasi-champions, there is not much room for replacement, so it is always good to be found out later.

Even though he wasn't ready to go out, it didn't mean he could relax.

Xiaoqiu did not forget to pass along the relevant information about the resurrected fossil Pokémon in the research institute.

Coupled with other miscellaneous work, if Yang Yan thought about it, he would actually be even busier at work than he was before returning to Fengyuan.

Therefore, after a day passed, Yang Yan didn't even feel much.

"It's almost time, it's time to set off."

The waiter had already informed Yang Yan of the location of the dinner in advance, so he could go there by himself without anyone leading the way.

When Yang Yan arrived at the appointed time, he found that many people had already arrived in the banquet hall.

"That's why I didn't see anyone else on the road. It turns out they came early again..."

Yang Yan shook his head, then walked to the opposite side of the table with the words "Hoenn Region" written on it.

"Yang Yan, here!"

Yang Yan looked at the person who waved at him in surprise, but soon understood what was going on. "Teacher, I didn't expect you to come too?"

Qianli laughed, "How's it going? Are you shocked?"

"A little bit." Yang Yan stepped forward, bowed slightly, and then smiled and said, "Why didn't you tell me that you were going to participate? I thought..."

As early as when Qianli was transferred to Chenghua City to serve as the gym leader, there were rumors that Qianli's strength was close to that of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Although it was exaggerated by people who didn't know the truth, it wasn't completely groundless. Because at that time, Qianli had already ranked high in the King Ranking Tournament, and later successfully won the qualification to participate in the top 10 reserve challenge tournament.

It was just that he failed to make it through the reserve challenge the next year.

Yang Yan only found out about this after he returned to Hoenn.

Before today, Qianli had never said that he would participate in this substitute challenge, and Yang Yan thought he didn't want to continue.

After all, being a candidate for the Four Heavenly Kings didn't mean that one would have a better life than the gym owner. To some extent, the Four Heavenly Kings were not as carefree as the gym owner.

In previous years, some trainers who passed the King Ranking Tournament later changed their jobs and became gym leaders. The one that Ohki participated in was no exception.

Yang Yan thought that Qianli had now shifted his focus to the children. After all, the last time they chatted, he and Qianli and his wife talked a lot about Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng.

"You're going to participate too, so I'll just join in the fun!"

"Anyway, the day of this year's alliance conference is coming up soon, and there's nothing to do in the gym, so it's a good time to go out for a walk."

Qianli said it casually, but Yang Yan didn't really think that Qianli was just here to play, but of course he couldn't say that.

"You have a really good attitude. I can't compare to you. I'm already under a lot of pressure." Yang Yan signaled to the left and right with his eyes, "The few I recognized are not easy to deal with. This game is difficult."

Qianli laughed, "Relax. You are still young, and youth is your asset. There is nothing to be afraid of."

At this time, a middle-aged man sitting next to Qianli also laughed and said, "Yes, young people, the future is yours, have confidence!"

"Mr. Gao Hai, long time no see." Yang Yan stood up and greeted the other party slightly.

Mr. Gao Hai was one of the few people Yang Yan knew at the scene.

The reason for this is entirely because Mr. Gao Hai is from the same class as him.

In the process of promoting the intimidation potion, Gao Hai was also one of the people he borrowed.

Among the next 10 people who passed the King Ranking Battle, only he and Gao Hai were from Hoenn, so no matter from which perspective, the two of them can be regarded as opponents who know each other best.

Even though there is a generation difference in age between them.

During the conversation, Yang Yan found out that Gao Hai and Qian Li knew each other, because Gao Hai also participated in the previous round of the King Ranking Battle, but unfortunately his strength was too much worse at that time, so he did not pass.

Although Gao Hai passed this time and chose to participate in the substitute challenge, his mentality was more relaxed than Qianli's.

Maybe he really was just here to satisfy his curiosity.

In fact, there are many people who have the same mentality as him, especially the few people after the top 3 in this King of Kings ranking battle.

Because only 3 people passed the reserve challenge, "3" is the final bottom line.

Those who fail to even make it to the top 3 in the King Ranking Battle are usually considered to be here to “make up the numbers”.

Sometimes, even the 10 players in the latest round of the King of Kings ranking battle are looked down upon.

Then, with Qianli's introduction, Yang Yan exchanged names with the other two contestants from Hoenn.

Two people, one male and one female.

The woman, like Qianli, was selected from the previous King Ranking Tournament. Her name was Miyagi Ryuha. She was dressed very young and looked to be no more than 25 years old, but her actual age was definitely older.

The other man was the oldest among the group, named Toshiaki Doi, who was from the previous King Ranking Tournament and looked to be around 42 or 3 years old. He had participated in the previous two reserve challenge tournaments, and this one should be his last.

There were only five of them from Hoenn, which was considered quite a lot.

There are basically 2-4 people from other regions. The largest number of people are from Kanto, with 6 people.

There is no such thing in the Alola region, and maybe they don’t have the right people to participate.

A few of them chatted intermittently, mostly complimenting each other on meaningless topics.

Only Qianli and Yang Yan would occasionally discuss some more important topics.

There was no way. Firstly, they were not very familiar with each other. At most, they were just acquaintances. Secondly, although they were temporarily sitting together according to their regions, they were still rivals in essence. So it was understandable that they did not want to say much to avoid being noticed.

However, Qianli would not hide anything from Yang Yan. Qianli would quietly introduce to him some of the players from other regions that he knew.

About half an hour passed like this.

As the waiters brought exquisite dishes to the table, someone finally walked out from the table in front of the banquet hall.

It's just that those people didn't seem to be dressed "appropriately" and didn't match the makeup that a host or staff member should have.

"Who are those guys? Do any of you know them?"

People at various tables murmured cautiously.

Yang Yan turned his gaze to Tong Jing Shouming, the oldest and most experienced person, only to see that he was also frowning.

“He doesn’t even know…”

Fortunately, not long after, someone dressed in staff uniform finally came out.

But what no one expected was that as soon as this staff member came up, he broke a shocking piece of news.

"Although it may be a little abrupt, everyone, please allow me to introduce to you that the people around me are the trainers from the Galar region!"

"And in this reserve challenge, these few people will compete with you for the final winner!"
