Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

Wow.

The beer cans clashed in her bag, and the woman continued to stagger.

She didn't know when she put on the mask and hat, and the electric mouse beside her had disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the crowd surrounding the gym, she did not move forward, but lowered her head slightly and listened to the sounds around her.

"Grandpa, is Gym Leader Lin just missing? After all, he is such a powerful trainer..."

"That's not clear."

An old man in the crowd shook his head with a sad expression: "But seeing how grand the Maglev Dome is, Master Lin should be real... Alas."

At the end of his words, the old man sighed deeply.

Pengting City can have the glory it has today. It cannot be said that the head of the Lin Pavilion, who has been in office for ten years, has made an unconditional contribution to this, but at least she has contributed to its current glory.

She is a remarkable woman.

Many elderly people living in the city have watched Master Lin grow up.

I also know the other party’s secret which cannot be considered a secret——

Although Gym Master Lin Jing was born as a disciple of a gym, her dream was not to become a gym master.

Instead, I want to be a nationally renowned coordinator.

It’s a pity that things didn’t go as planned in the end.

Because the exact same thing happened then as it does now.

The former owner of the Maglev Gym was also seriously injured in a secret place ten years ago and died shortly after returning.

At that time, Lin Jing, who had already achieved great success as a coordinator and was known as the "Dazzling Queen", learned that the successors of the Maglev Gym were all weak.

In the end, he resolutely gave up the ideal he had been pursuing for a long time, chose to return to his hometown and participate in the alliance's gym leader selection.

And was eventually successfully elected as the new owner.

In these ten years, she did everything she could.

Whether it was the promotion of the gym or the badge battle career, she did her best and never turned down any invitation to the league's main competition.

And try your best to bring the splendor and excitement of the electric system to every spectator.

It is also because of this that the Maglev Gym was able to move from the middle level of the alliance back then to the top five and contending for the top three today.

It's a pity that she is dead now.

Not even the body was brought back.

And they are also students of the gym, and they also have the dream of becoming a coordinator.

Her eldest daughter, who received her strong support in pursuing her dreams, eventually made the same choice as her and returned to her hometown.

But this time, history may not repeat itself.

"Grandpa, do you think Sister Lin will win in the end?"

The old man was silent for a moment: "Difficult."

Although he couldn't understand the details of the battle, he could understand Lin Xinyi's difficulties during the battle.

Although Miss Lin inherited her mother's artistic talent, she did not seem to have inherited her mother's talent for fighting.

Even with a Brilliant-level Pokémon, he was still able to fight against a Jade-level opponent.

This is not difficult anymore, it's simply unbelievable.

in the crowd.

The woman lowered her head slightly.

"But grandpa, the good thing is that it doesn't matter who wins."

The boy withdrew his gaze from the gym, turned to look at the old man and said:

"That trainer named Qianji was also nominated by the All-Victory Group, which is a local company after all."

"However, I heard from my classmates that there seemed to be news that the Maglev Dojo and the company were not on good terms. Is that true?"

Hear this.

The old man was silent and said nothing.

He also heard some gossip.

Just a few years ago, the Maglev Dome co-organized an event with the local Wansheng Group called the "Pengting Future Cultivation Program."

But for some unknown reason, Master Lin, who usually had a good temper, suddenly went to the imperial capital to report on the Quansheng Group during the annual job promotion meeting for the masters.

According to gossip, she angrily denounced a series of issues such as "ulterior motives" and "complete shady dealings" at the headquarters.

This led to the Wansheng Group being directly subject to the alliance's scrutiny and rectification, and it almost collapsed.

But in the end, it ended with a high fine and the person in charge deceiving his superiors and being sent to jail.

in fact.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the trick.

Just such a large tax payment will significantly increase the city's GDP and provide thousands of jobs.

Moreover, how can a listed company that has truly made effective contributions to the city be brought down by just a few words?

It would be better if we could find another superstar to report it.

"Forget it. As ordinary people, we don't need to think so much."

The old man touched his grandson's head and said earnestly:

"Logically, I hope Ms. Lin can win, but this is not something we have the final say on."

“The capable rise to the top, the weak fall to the bottom. Even though there is some confusion here, this is an eternal truth.”

Done.

The old man took his grandson's hand, turned around and left, walking farther and farther away.

But Lin Xinyi noticed that the old man looked at her twice before leaving, and emphasized his tone in his last words.

People came and went, but the woman just stood there.

Such unusual behavior will always make others take a second look.

If they look a few more times, some people will stop and start whispering to their companions.

The woman noticed this.

She picked up the plastic bag and slowly walked towards the gym until she was swallowed up by the dim corridor of the gym in everyone's sight.

In the city that never gets dark, it's pitch dark here.

Turning left and right, the woman finally stopped at a certain place and looked up at the scroll on the wall that was several meters wide.

Perhaps it was the current automatically supplied by the frame that made the picture so clear—

This is a wax painting of a family portrait drawn by her mother.

In the painting.

The gentle and beautiful mother was wearing a one-piece Chinese cheongsam, sitting on a bench, looking forward with a smile.

The slightly younger girl warmly hugged the somewhat reluctant boy and stood behind her mother.

The woman just stared at the painting in a daze.

half an hour.

She slowly put down the plastic bags, letting them lean against more plastic bags under the scroll.

Mom, I bought the wine.

Clang.

There was a sound of a door opening in the distance, followed by footsteps approaching.

"Is Sister Lin back?"

“It’s really Sister Lin!”

"elder sister!"

Surrounded by a group of young disciples, the boy who had already grown up in the picture ran to the woman.

As he approached, he gradually slowed down his pace and gently put his hand on her shoulders.

"This……"

He looked at the pile of plastic bags on the ground and asked, "Did you go to buy wine for your mother again?"

The woman didn't answer.

boom!

As a white light disappeared, the electric flying squirrel reappeared and threw itself enthusiastically into the boy's arms.

The boy caught it in a panic.

"Chirp."

The electric flying squirrel held its head high and wagged its tail at the boy, as if to show that it was harmless.

Available in the next second.

Its whole body suddenly trembled, and then the blue electric arc appeared again, constantly bouncing on its body.

This made its expression twisted in discomfort, and the boy who was in close contact with it did not escape either, and staggered back two steps.

"Guoguo!"

The sound of her brother in pain brought the woman back to consciousness.

She turned around and took the electric flying mouse, ignoring the tingling sensation that was transferred to her body, and just walked quickly towards the depths.

The boy shook his shoulders, gritted his teeth, and suddenly said, "Sister!"

The woman did not stop.

"No, let's just forget about it. We don't need a gym anymore."

The boy ignored the obstruction of his companions and said with difficulty:

"Guoguo's illness is more important. Let's cure it first. We will slowly find a way later. Even if we don't become the owner of the gym, we should have a chance to enter the [Yu Lei Sen] and find our mother's body..."

"Mother is not dead, she is just missing!"

The woman suddenly stopped.

After saying that, she looked down at the electric flying squirrel twitching in her arms.

The latter, after a burst of rapid breathing, stared with bright eyes, also looking up at his trainer.

Then he shook his head slightly and said heavily: "Chirp!"

【Do not! 】

Hearing what it said, the woman pursed her lips and hugged it a little tighter.

"No, I can't give up."

After controlling her emotions, Lin Xinyi spoke as calmly as possible:

"The candidates for the Maglev Gym Leader can be appointed by the Alliance fairly, but they must not fall into the hands of those who have won all the games."

"You and I both know that they have done injustices for their own benefit to those young people who are expected to become the future of Pengting City but who refused to sign under their names."

"And this is also the reason why they left their hometowns after growing up."

"If my mother were here, she would definitely support me!"

"Some things need someone to try to see if they can be done."

"Even if...even if there is a price to pay."
