Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

Huo Jun was the only one in the monitoring room.

He crossed his arms, looked dimly at the strange Pokémon that appeared on a screen, and tilted his head slightly.

After a few breaths, he made a phone call.

"……Um?"

The woman on the other end of the line had apparently just fallen asleep.

"Cheng Di, get up quickly."

Huo Jun raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "A brand new Pokémon, do you want to see it?"

"…What nonsense are you talking about?"

Cheng Di was yawning, looking sleepy.

For ambiguous reasons, she resisted the urge to hang up the phone and said casually:

"If there is a brand new Pokémon, it should be in some secret realm and not appear in front of you."

"The Baili Mountains were completely destroyed in the past. The most precious Pokémon are the two Banjiras that ruled the mountains. How can they be called brand new? Wait a minute!"

Cheng Di seemed to realize something and suddenly said quickly:

"Could it be that a student accidentally stumbled into the largest cave? I heard that there is a large golden rock snake that refuses to evolve and is fostered by Taiyue Tianwang. Is this the one you are talking about?"

"No."

"profound."

Cheng Di relaxed instantly and said vaguely, "You talk, I'm listening."

Huo Jun looked at the screen carefully and said, "A humanoid Pokémon with a pink-purple flame burning on its head. Its primary attribute is estimated to be fire."

"Humanoid Pokémon..."

Cheng Di repeated it vaguely, and then her voice became clearer.

Hearing the sound of someone getting out of bed on the phone, a smile appeared on Huo Jun's old face, but before he could say anything, the phone was suddenly hung up.

Then the video came.

After the call was connected, Cheng Di, who was wearing a pair of large glasses without lenses, said to Huo Jun without any hesitation: "Where is it? Let me see."

"here."

Huo Jun flipped the camera and saw the image transmitted by Yang Xiao's micro camera.

As if by accident, Yang Xiao's camera accurately focused on Tan Xiaoshi's cautious expression, reflecting his every move in front of the two of them.

Cheng Di’s eyes became brighter and brighter.

Huo Jun was somewhat complacent: "You haven't seen it before."

“No… I haven’t seen it.”

Cheng Di was amazed, her face full of excitement, and then added: "I'm not sure whether it's in the database. Wait for me to check it."

moment.

Cheng Di said with some regret: "Yes."

Huo Jun chuckled.

He guessed there was one, so he made the call: "I'd like to hear the details."

"A month ago, a fire-related secret realm channel was created between the villages in Fengrong County. It was classified as a primary secret realm. The official expedition team entered it seven days later and returned, upgrading it to an intermediate secret realm. They also brought out two of them."

"According to observation and research, this Pokémon calls itself 'Tan-sama'. The expedition team has witnessed a Pokémon that is very similar to it in the secret realm. It should be its evolved form, named 'Crimson Armor Knight'."

"The Imperial Capital Research Institute has shown that half of the energy in its body tends to develop into the psychic system, while the other half tends to develop into the ghost system. Therefore, it is possible that it has two different evolutionary forms."

"Which student found it, Yang Xiao?"

"Ouch."

Huo Jun raised his eyebrows, his expression unclear: "How did you guess that?"

on the phone screen.

Cheng Di rolled her eyes at Huo Jun.

Don't I know you yet?

You're up late at night, 100% worried about the safety of one of your students, staring at the screen so you can help at any time.

Q: Which student is worth all your attention?

Answer: Beloved disciple.

Q: Why are you worried about your beloved disciple?

Answer: Because of the charcoal waiter.

Q: Why are you worried about your beloved disciple because of Tanshi?

Answer: Because you are worried that you will get split.

in conclusion:

The Pokémon that was supposed to appear in a secret realm a hundred miles away suddenly appeared in front of your beloved disciple. There is only one possibility.

The inextricable bond between the poacher and Huo Jun.

"Are you doing something that could easily lead to a complaint again?"

Cheng Di frowned and said directly: "Haven't you learned the lesson from last year? You still want to lead the team to chase the poachers in the ocean on a duck boat like last time, right?"

"That time we were lucky. The students were not injured, only a few had leg cramps. What about this time? This time we are in the mountains, without a fleet escort, the poachers dared to shoot."

"This time is different."

Huo Jun touched his nose and waved his hand unnaturally: "Yang Xiao is here this time."

On the screen, Cheng Di fell silent.

for a long time.

She asked a soul-searching question: "Isn't he a human?"

"Uh... I mean, we have to make some efforts because Yang Xiao is here. Otherwise, these poachers would be wasted, don't you think?"

"I feel more at ease with Yang Xiao."

The words have not yet fallen.

There was a pause.

Huo Jun smiled again and said:

"Now I finally understand why the teacher always liked to give difficult tasks to Qin Zhao, because he could complete the tasks without the teacher having to worry too much."

"Not arresting them?"

"No, not yet."

Huo Jun licked his lips and said slowly:

"This kind of opportunity is rare. I just saw a suspicious place on the satellite, and the treasures we prepared in advance happened to be buried around it, so I wanted to ask Yang Xiao to go over and take a look."

"I didn't expect there would be a problem. What a surprise."

"Combined with my familiarity with the boss, could they be the same old friends from last year at sea? Haha! Indescribable."

"More importantly, I recently received news that a hyena appeared in the mountains 30 miles away. I heard that he was a well-known cadre."

"Tell me, that cadre is not here to look for these poachers, right? Otherwise, why would he enter Shenzhou? Isn't he feeling uncomfortable?"

"Since he's here, we'll naturally prioritize catching him. The poachers can just use him as bait, which is also a way to make good use of waste."

"…What if something happens to the other students?"

Cheng Di said hesitantly:

"If anything happens to them, it will be your fault. You are the chief instructor of this training camp. Even if the Henghai Alliance Center shares the pressure with you, you cannot escape responsibility."

"……fine."

Huo Jun was unusually carefree, with his hands behind his head, lying on the chair:

"Satellites are accurately locating the faces and body shapes of the poachers. We will then conduct real-time monitoring to determine where the poachers are going."

"I have also released all my Pokémon. They are hiding beside them now. If there are any problems, they will help solve them. Not to mention the sheriffs. I will let them ride their flying Pokémon up the mountain in a while."

"..."

Cheng Di took a deep breath and said, "Okay, just be prepared, I can't control you.

Huo Jun smiled slightly.

Count your breaths.

He crossed his legs, turned around leisurely in the chair, and said casually:

"Cheng Di, do you think a terrorist organization like Hyena would really risk entering the country just for a Pokémon?"

Cheng Di pondered for a moment:

"...It's possible. After all, according to the research records of the Imperial Capital Research Institute, Tan-Shinobi is still a Pokémon with great potential. What if someone like Hyena takes a fancy to it?"

"Well, that makes sense."

Huo Jun scratched his cheek, put his guess behind him, and said nothing more.

Cheng Di rolled her eyes at him.

You unromantic man, I'm risking getting dark circles under my eyes tomorrow to chat with you, and you leave me aside after you've said what you wanted to say, right?

I've had enough.

Just as Cheng Di was about to hang up the phone in anger, Huo Jun looked up at the roof and suddenly said:

"Cheng Di, we were just talking about Qin Zhao...what is he doing now?"

"Him? He's still recovering from his injuries. What's wrong?"

"It's rare."

Huo Jun's mouth revealed a sincere sarcasm: "It has to be a [World Destruction Level] secret realm. It sounds good and I like it. Will he go there next time?"

"..."

"Don't think too much, I'm just concerned about him."

Is there anyone who cares about his friends as much as you do?

Cheng Di sighed: "If you have to fart, hurry up. I'm going to sleep."

"Well...you can ask him. If he has nothing to do recently, why not take a stroll in the Baili Mountains?"

"Why don't you send him a message yourself?"

"deleted."

Huo Jun said confidently: "I looked at his circle of friends a few days ago. I was upset by the lavish meals he was eating while recovering from his injury... Ask him if he is coming. If not, forget it."

"Row."

Cheng Di nodded, then became a little confused: "But why did you think of calling him? Asking him to deal with those poachers? How is this different from using a cannon to kill a mosquito?"

Huo Jun smacked his lips, his face calm.

He just remembered that Yang Xiao seemed to have some inextricable connection with [Hyena].

I can use clues to connect some of the things that happened in Henghai's basement. [Hyena] will only do better than me.

and.

That mysterious Pokémon that was charging down the street...

[Hyena] has a crazy collecting habit for everything related to "Legendary Pokémon", and Yang Xiao, who is related to the Henghai Basement, may not be immune to it.

and so……

Huo Jun curled his lips.

Forget it, just do me a favor and meet him.

After all, it is better to maximize the safety factor of your beloved disciple.
