He had successfully fooled Uma for several days with the outrageous stunt of using himself to monitor himself.
By the end of it, Heiduo no longer even needed Uma as an intermediary when reporting his work. He could contact Vazir directly.
Vazir also attached great importance to his reports. When he saw the photos Heiduo had transmitted, he praised them repeatedly and openly stated that once this mission was over, he would put in a good word for Heiduo with the Supreme Commander.
In any case, Vazir had made a whole pile of promises. His ultimate goal was to make Heiduo keep a close eye on himself, preferably continuing as he had over the past few days by sending photos to Vazir. In truth, Vazir was also curious how Heiduo could take pictures so freely in Agate Village.
How had he done it? He had simply said he was a landscape photographer.
With Elder Logan vouching for him, what was wrong with taking a few pictures?
However, Heiduo did not stay in Agate Village for long. Less than a week later, he went to Battle Mountain.
Battle Mountain emphasized consecutive challenges through its areas. Only after clearing an area could challengers choose to pause. If they withdrew midway, then no matter which opponent they had reached within that area, the current area counted as a failed challenge, and they had to start again from its first opponent.
Of course, challenges were not without rewards.
Battle Mountain had exchange vouchers known as PT Points. PT Points could be exchanged for many things, such as Berries, strange stones, exclusive training manuals for Pokémon, technique scrolls for learning moves, and even Pokémon themselves.
Each cleared area awarded a different amount of PT Points. The higher the area, the more PT Points it gave.
