Elf: Release? Not possible.

Xiaojian and Xiaoxia were both somewhat unable to hold on, while Xiaozhi and Xiaodan were still about the same as at the beginning.

Because of physical fatigue, coupled with physical exhaustion, and the increase in altitude, breathing becomes more difficult.

I thought Xiaozhi would slow down, but I found that Xiaozhi's speed was still maintained very well, and his breathing was not disordered at all.

This surprised Xiao Dan. He had met many trainers before, and many of them were able to climb up, but very few could do the same as him.

Even Xiaodan started trying to speed up to catch up with Xiaozhi, but found that he couldn't catch up.

I have been here for more than ten years to be able to achieve this level, but this young man in front of me can actually do it at this age.

It is hard to imagine what kind of training a teenager in his early teens had to go through to be able to achieve this level. Xiao Dan's eyes gradually changed from relaxed to solemn.

There was a rare flash of fighting spirit in his eyes.

“Huff, huff... No... I can’t take it anymore~~~” Xiaoxia was the first one to give up.

Following Xiaozhi on his adventure, Xiaoxia got some exercise, but it was obvious that as a girl, her physical strength was still a little worse than the three boys.

"Xia Xia, don't force yourself. I think you should find a place to rest first!" Seeing this, Xiao Dan turned around and spoke to Xiao Xia.

"well!!"

Xiaoxia responded with difficulty, then looked around for a place to stay.

boom! ! !

Perhaps because she had not observed carefully before, when Xiaoxia was looking for a place to rest, the stone under her feet suddenly loosened.

"Ah!!!" Xiaoxia panicked and subconsciously exerted force with her hands and feet, and the stone in her hand was torn off.

Having lost the place to hold on to, Xiaoxia suddenly fell from the air. Xiaodan and Xiaojian were also frightened when they saw this sudden scene.

You know, there is a bottomless abyss below.

"Xia Xia (Xia Xia)!!"

Seeing Xiaoxia falling from the sky, the two didn't know what to do. Xiaodan frowned slightly when seeing this. Looking at this situation, there was no other way but to use Pokémon.

When he was about to take out the Poké Ball, he suddenly felt something falling beside him. Xiao Dan turned around and saw that it was Xiaozhi who was in the front.

Xiaozhi was seen falling from the top, his hands loosened, and he fell directly in free fall.

Xiaodan and Xiaojian were also frightened by Xiaozhi. Xiaozhi let go of Xiaoxia's hand and quickly caught up with Xiaoxia, just when Xiaoxia had closed her eyes in panic.

Suddenly I felt someone grabbing my hand, my body trembled, and I felt myself stop falling.

Feeling a warm temperature on the palm of her hand, Xiaoxia opened her eyes cautiously, only to find a hand holding hers tightly.

Looking up, who else could it be but Xiaozhi? Seeing this, Xiaoxia's eyes immediately became misty.

"Xiaozhi~~~"

At this time, Xiaozhi gritted his teeth, holding Xiaoxia's 04 hand with one hand and holding a protruding rock on the cliff with the other hand.

"Can you stand still?" Xiaozhi looked down at Xiaoxia and said.

"Oh... yes... sure!"

Seeing this, Xiaoxia took Xiaozhi's hand and looked for a place, and soon found a place to step on.

Xiaozhi held Xiaoxia's hand with one hand, slowly turned around and leaned against the wall again. When Xiaoxia was about to let go of Xiaozhi's hand and hold it herself, she suddenly felt that Xiaozhi's hand did not let go, but instead held even tighter.

Her body was pulled up uncontrollably by a force, and her feet left the place where she could stand again. Xiaoxia was startled and subconsciously grabbed anything she could.

Only then did he realize that he was at the same height as Xiaozhi. He opened his eyes and realized that he was now sticking to Xiaozhi's back.

Xiaoxia showed a surprised expression and was secretly shocked.

Did Xiaozhi want to carry her on his back? That was too dangerous. Not to mention the weight of two people was dangerous, could Xiaozhi make it to the top of the mountain with him on his back?

"Xiaozhi you..." Just about to speak.

"I told you not to come, but you insisted! Hold on tight, if you fall again, I won't care about you anymore."

Xiaozhi didn't say much and continued to look up. Xiaoxia was slightly stunned when she heard the voice and subconsciously hugged Xiaozhi's neck tightly.

Although there was a backpack between them, it still gave Xiaoxia a great sense of security.

At the same time, my nose felt a little sour and my eyes became blurry unconsciously.

She knew that Xiaozhi was a person who spoke harshly but was soft-hearted. He said this on purpose because he didn't want to have any psychological burden.

After all, he was the one who insisted on getting here, but now he has to be taken care of by Xiaozhi and he is holding Xiaozhi back.

Listening to Xiaozhi's words, I couldn't say sorry or thank you. I could only hug Xiaozhi tightly with silent emotion and put my head next to him.

And Xiaozhi continued to climb up with Xiaoxia.

This time, it's not just physical energy that's wasted, but you have to be more careful when observing where to land to make sure it can bear the weight of two people.

In this way, you will stay in one place longer, and the longer you stay, the more physical energy you will consume.

Xiaojian was relieved to see that Xiaoxia was fine, but Xiaodan was a little worried after being surprised when she saw this scene.

I wonder if Xiaozhi can handle the weight of an extra person.

But Xiaozhi said nothing. With one more person accompanying him, he didn't have the energy to speak, so they continued to climb up.

With the addition of Misty, Xiaozhi, who was not under much pressure at the beginning, began breathing more rapidly, but his movements did not become chaotic.

Xiao Dan was very surprised that a trainer in his early teens could hold on to this extent. He could be said to be the strongest person he had met so far.

For Xiaoxia, the more tired Xiaozhi was, the more guilty and distressed she felt, even though he didn't say a word. She could only silently wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Originally, I thought Xiaozhi would not be able to hold on, but Xiaodan found out that he was wrong. The boy's willpower was so strong that he was able to hold on even with one more person.

After about an hour, we finally saw the top of the mountain. As the altitude increased, the mountain range gradually turned into snow-capped mountains.

The cliff wall also became much smoother, so everyone was more careful. Unknowingly, the weather began to change and it started snowing, but they didn't have time to appreciate it.

"Hold on, we'll be there soon!" Xiaodan turned around and shouted to Xiaojian and Xiaozhi.

Because of saving Misty and carrying her on his back the whole time, Xiaozhi went from being in the lead at the beginning to being at the last place, but this stage itself was not about who was faster or slower.

Soon, Xiaodan and Xiaojian reached the top one after another. Seeing this, Xiaojian immediately turned around and looked behind him. Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia also arrived soon after.

Seeing this, Xiaojian and Xiaodan came to help and pulled Xiaoxia up first, and then Xiaozhi climbed to the top of the cliff by himself.

"Whirring whirring!!!"

Climbing up the cliff, Xiaozhi supported his knees with his hands and gasped for breath. Even at the top of the mountain, the temperature was already below zero, but Xiaozhi's sweat still fell on the snow in large drops.

693

This amount of exercise is a bit too much for Xiaozhi even with a strong body.

"Xiaozhi, I'm sorry!"

Seeing Xiaozhi's tired look, he couldn't help but say the words that he couldn't say before.

She was very clear that her seemingly loyal and supportive behavior now seemed to be dragging Xiaozhi down.

People often say that Xiaozhi is messing around, but this time it is obviously himself who is messing around.

"Huh..." Xiaozhi exhaled, stood up and looked at Xiaoxia. Without saying anything, he just raised his hand and tapped Xiaoxia's forehead.

Snapped! ! !

“Ouch~ It hurts!!”

Xiaoxia let out a soft cry, then sticking out her tongue playfully. Xiaozhi didn't blame her, which made her feel a little sweet in her heart.

"Let's go! Don't waste time."

Xiaozhi didn't say much. After resting, he continued to walk forward, because this place was obviously not a gym yet.

PS: I had originally written these two chapters, but then deleted them all and re-wrote them. They were originally similar to the original, but I felt something was missing, so I changed it to Xiaojian and Xiaoxia walking on the mountain road together, which can be regarded as a small drama for the protagonist and heroine! I guess everyone likes to watch this, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it should be possible for a super newcomer.

After the climb, there was still a long way to go, and once you reached the top, the temperature was completely different.

Although the weather had been warm in the Orange Islands, once we were here the temperature and weather were completely different.

It started snowing heavily and the temperature dropped a lot. Xiaodan took out a blanket and gave it to Xiaojian and Xiaoxia. After they put on the blankets, they felt a little better.

However, Xiaozhi was not given a blanket. It was obvious that challengers did not receive such benefits.

Misty looked a little worried, but Satoshi didn't care. It's not that he wasn't cold, but he could still hold on.

As I climbed up, my body felt much warmer. It was obvious that these tests were specially designed.

Pickup truck!!

Polly~~~~

On the contrary, Pikachu and Jigglypuff were a little uncomfortable. They hugged themselves tightly and trembled slightly.

"You two come in!"

Upon seeing this, Xiaozhi opened his coat and then put Pikachu and Jigglypuff into his arms.

Pikachu and Jigglypuff snuggled in Ash's arms, feeling the warmth, and looked up at Ash with emotion.

Pickup truck??

"I'm fine, don't worry!" Hearing Pikachu's voice, Xiaozhi smiled and gently touched its head, then continued walking forward.

After climbing the mountain, we walked for more than half an hour in the wind and snow and finally saw the building.

That was the end point of the cable car. When we reached the top of the mountain, the wind and snow had become much weaker, as if we had arrived above the clouds, and even the wind and snow were under our feet.

"We're finally here!" Seeing this, Xiaoxia ran forward and walked into the cable car station but found that there was no one inside.

"What's going on? There's no one here." Xiaoxia asked a little confused.

"How is it? I think I've passed the test, right?"

At this time, Xiaozhi was standing in front of the cable car station and suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Xiaoxia and Xiaojian were both slightly stunned after hearing the voice, not knowing what Xiaozhi meant by suddenly saying this.

"Haha! So you already knew that?"

At this moment, Xiaodan suddenly walked up to them with a smile. Xiaoxia and Xiaojian looked at each other in surprise.

"Could it be that you are..."

"Let me introduce myself again. I'm the gym trainer of the Napru Gym, Dan the Star of the East!"

When introducing himself, Xiao Dan's whole demeanor changed, and he was completely different from the big brother next door.

Xiaoxia and Xiaojian finally understood that Xiaodan was the gym trainer.

No wonder he was so enthusiastic at the beginning. If he just wanted to lead the way, there was no need for him to follow the others up the mountain.

The rules were set at the foot of the mountain, but there were no gym trainers. How could the gym trainers know whether the challengers had violated the rules during the climbing process?

It turns out that Dan is the gym trainer, and he has been watching Xiaozhi to see if he has committed any fouls.

And since Xiao Dan didn't reveal his identity, he would be completely unprepared for him.

"First, you're not a gym trainer so there's no need to follow me. Second, he must be someone who has been here for years to be able to climb up so easily!"

Xiaozhi briefly explained it, but of course he couldn't say that it was because he had watched anime.

"I see. But I'm also surprised that you, who don't come here all year round!" Xiao Dan didn't doubt it, but was very impressed with Xiao Zhi.

Not only was he able to climb up easily, but he was even able to distract himself and save people halfway up, and even brought Xiaoxia up with him. Most people would never be able to do that.

"You haven't answered the question yet!"

"There's no doubt that you've passed! Come with me, Xiaozhi!"

Xiao Dan smiled after hearing this. This was not only qualified, it was beyond his expectations.

He walked in front to lead the way for the three people and soon came to an open snowfield. The snowfield was completely covered with ice and snow, except for a spot in the center that was not covered by ice and snow.
