Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

"The first day of the dual-province professional competition has officially ended. Let's take a look at the clips of all the exciting battles!"

"Shocking! Fighting-type Z Pure Crystal has already appeared in the preliminaries? Let's follow the editor to learn more about it..."

"The fastest defeat record on the first day: Yang Xiao's Wudao Bear Master defeated Steelix in 5 seconds in the 7.19th field of the second round of Area A—"

"The second place came from Jiang Wutang's Yanwu King in Round 1, Field 1, Area A. He defeated Nido King in 13.01 seconds..."

"Professor Li issued a statement before the Imperial Capital Battle: Wudao Bear Master has extremely terrifying power at the same stage, but it is undoubtedly a very wrong decision to expose it and the Z Bracelet Ace at the same time. Yang Xiao will definitely regret this decision!"

"Summary of the EPUA media's predictions for the tournament: the top three remain unchanged, the bottom seven are slightly adjusted, and the new generation trainer Yang Xiao has officially made it into the top 16."

"Ping from the martial arts bear master is here to replace him! I wonder if you are interested in the domineering panda?"

"Confirmed! The duet of the genius boy and the president of the Qingxiao University Student Union has been announced. The first round in Area A will be on the 22nd at venue No. 3!"

Yang Xiao was lying on the bed, scrolling leisurely on the screen of his mobile phone.

Thanks to the popularity of the event and the collection of big data, almost every short video Yang Xiao scrolls through now is closely related to the dual-provincial professional competition.

On the other side of the room, Qi Xu was holding the little blacksmith and teasing him.

"Uh-huh-huh."

"Dugu?"

"Hehe...suck."

"Dugu!"

With a sharp shout, a fist as fast as lightning struck the young man's face, causing his expression to quickly turn abstract.

Snapped!

He turned 360 degrees in the air and threw the little blacksmith to the ground.

Then, in fright, it leaped onto the bed and dived into the boy's arms.

"Ouch."

The young man groaned, lowered his head and looked at the confused little blacksmith, raised his hand and rubbed its head: "It's okay, he provoked you first."

This instantly turned the worry on the little baby's face into joy.

As a newborn Pokémon baby, it needs emotional affirmation right now.

"Go."

"Dugu!"

With a gentle throw, the little blacksmith landed on the ground with a smile on his face.

He lifted his foot and ran happily towards the big gray bear which was sitting cross-legged with its eyes closed in the distance.

This is its favorite creature besides the trainer in these few hours!

Hearing the noise, Master Bear, who was immersed in meditation, opened his eyes helplessly and stretched out his arms towards the baby who was running towards him.

What are you doing?

Was I this annoying before... so clingy?

"hiss……"

Qi Xu rubbed his cheek and stood up with a ferocious look on his face: "This little thing is quite powerful."

"It's called a little blacksmith, not a little gadget."

"Forging?"

Qi Xu grinned for a while, and fixed his eyes on Yang Xiao: "Brother, where did this word come from?"

"Never in the future."

"……what?"

Yang Xiao's eyes left the phone screen and looked at Qi Xu, saying calmly:

"I have already ordered the right metal for it, and the store is mailing it to me. I will start forging it when it arrives, so its name is very reasonable, a small craftsman who loves forging."

The young man looked at the boy quietly and didn't speak for a while.

Yang Xiao lowered his head again.

This is his explanation. Let’s see whether the Egyptian bar is reasonable or not.

Now his focus has to be placed elsewhere.

Count your breaths.

"Forget it. It's your Pokémon after all. You can name it whatever you like."

Qi Xu shrugged his shoulders, walked forward to sit on the chair, and then talked about something else: "By the way, how did you see it?"

"what?"

"Pokémon's treatment of mental illness."

Qi Xu curled his lips meaningfully, and Yang Xiao followed his gaze to glance at the room at the end of the living room.

there.

An orange-yellow toad was shaking its body vigorously, trying to make the "washing machine" in front of it move as if it was performing a ritual.

But the latter remained motionless, as if it was really a washing machine.

After staring at it silently for a while, Yang Xiao turned his gaze away and said calmly, "I don't know, I didn't see it."

Hear the words.

Qi Xu was stunned for a moment.

"Its turn will be later in the queue."

The boy's demeanor was unusually calm, as rational as a machine:

"Even if it's not autistic, I won't let a Pokémon that has no chemistry with me appear, even if it's a pretty good professional Pokémon with instant combat power."

"The top priorities at the moment are the little blacksmith's hammer and the corresponding nutritional supplements, the training plan, and the evolution of Electabuzz."

Qi Xu listened and nodded.

But then he noticed something was wrong: "Wait a minute... where are our opponents?"

"Tomorrow's? Not important."

Yang Xiao calmly explained: "Those two people didn't cooperate with us, they were just players who came here to fill in the numbers. We just need to rely on our personal strength to do it."

"Uh...you're being too direct."

“Because it is.”

Yang Xiao pinched his slightly sore eyes: "As for the training we had a few days ago, it was just a game... I could only rely on my personal strength to crush them."

"alright."

Qi Xu scratched his head, and finally got up with a helpless look on his face: "That's it, I'll go back and rest first."

"Ah."

...

Snapped.

The exquisite cup smashed against the wall, the deep red wine stained the wall, and the glass fragments fell to the ground.

In the gorgeous room, the young man sat on a leather sofa, his eyes fixed on the image reflected on the wall by the projector in front of him——

That was the scene before the boy was devoured by the fighting energy he had created.

Behind.

The sturdy man raised his head as usual and tilted it towards the servant on the left.

The latter walked forward with his head lowered, squatted on the ground and picked up the broken pieces of the wine glass neatly.

Sudden.

Another wine glass grazed her scalp and hit the wall.

There was no wine in the glass this time, but the broken glass fragments scratched the servant's face.

The sudden experience and pain made her scream instinctively.

But in the next second, she suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, and her face turned pale instantly.

Because she realized her "mistake".

Without thinking, he knelt on his knees and banged his head heavily on the ground.

thump.

After a crisp sound, her body trembled and she remained in this position motionless.

But no one in the room paid attention to her.

“…Is this mine?”

The young man's nose twitched slightly, and the corners of his mouth that seemed to be smiling made him look particularly weird: "That piece of trash that fell into the underground research institute?"

Hearing this, the sturdy man quickly glanced at the servant.

Then he fell into a brief silence and said respectfully: "Yes, Patriarch..."

"kill him."

The young man interrupted the strong man and his expression had returned to calm.

He said it as if it was a commonplace matter, without considering any other factors: "Go and bring back the family's things."

But when he finished speaking, the strong man became even more silent.

He actually wanted to refuse.

He really wanted to tell the head of the family to calm down. Qin Zhao knew him, and Cao Gong was also very optimistic about this younger generation.

He even received news that Taiyue Heavenly King had left something in the child's hands.

But he couldn't say that.

As a retainer, he could only learn to accept it.

Just when he was mentally prepared and even thought about where to bury himself, the young man on the sofa suddenly turned his head.

"Is that right?"

He had a faint smile on his face, completely different from his previous state: "Do you think I would say that?"

"...I will respect and implement all your decisions."

Looking at the sturdy man who stood straight but actually groveled, the young man smiled and said, "I believe you. I was just teasing you."

"How can we kill him? After we kill him, won't he just be a target for others?"

The young man looked at the projected image again, his eyes eerily calm. “It’s just a Z bracelet… I accept it, just give it to him.”

Done.

He stood up, turned and walked towards the door.

But when he was halfway there, he suddenly raised his arm and pointed casually behind him: "If you can't kill him, then kill this one."

The servant raised his head sharply.

boom!

Blood plasma covered the wall along with the heavy blow, and the dark shadow re-entered the shadow under the sturdy man's feet.

He lowered his head respectfully, and only raised it slowly after a long time.

And the young man had already disappeared from his sight.
