Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

It was already evening when Yang Xiao officially looked at the egg.

Because he had been following the marsupial dragon all day, throwing the damaged furniture in the old house into the garbage station downstairs.

Looking at the empty room in front of him, Yang Xiao sighed.

Except for his own room which was protected by a marsupial dragon blocking the door and thus escaped the disaster, there was no intact furniture in the old house.

Whether it is the living room, kitchen or bathroom.

Even the old man's room when he was alive was turned upside down, and all the furniture was not preserved intact.

Even the family portrait in the old man’s room was taken apart and thrown aside at random.

Countless times while cleaning up the garbage, Yang Xiao clenched his fists, and the murderous intent in his heart was like a surging wave, endless.

Yang Xiao moved his desk to the old man's room.

Looking at the photo of the old man, the marsupial dragon shook its head and rejected Yang Xiao's suggestion that it bring its baby to sleep in its room.

At this moment, it was unwilling to return to the Poké Ball, nor to leave the old man's room. Even though it was empty, it sat on the ground without caring.

It seems that the old partners who have accompanied each other for sixty years are still alive and have not left.

Yang Xiao could only close the door helplessly.

When he returned to the room and turned his eyes to the elf egg wrapped tightly in bedding on the bed, his heart was stirred again.

After taking several deep breaths, he gradually calmed down.

He knew why his grandfather prepared an elf egg for him before he died.

National law stipulates that there are no mandatory requirements before high school.

However, starting from high school, each school must have a Pokémon interest class in the first and second year of high school to teach the basics of Pokémon.

And high school students must set up battle classes that can teach Pokémon battle knowledge.

As long as you take part in the school-wide entrance examination at the end of the second year of high school and reach a certain score requirement, you can choose to be promoted to the competitive class in the third year of high school and become a member of the competitive class.

Ordinary people, unless they are trainers, must wait until they reach adulthood before they can own their own Pokémon.

Students in the battle class can have their own elf eggs one year in advance.

Yang Xiao is the first place in the promotion examination of No. 3 Middle School.

The vast majority of people would choose to buy Pokémon eggs from private breeding houses in the city. There aren't many types of Pokémon there, neither the Big Three nor the Quasi-Gods, and the average quality is not high.

But the advantage is that it is affordable and ordinary people can afford it.

Wealthy families will choose to go to the official breeding house of the Alliance to buy Pokémon eggs, where there are the Big Three and occasionally Quasi-Gods.

Moreover, the average qualifications are all on the standard level, which can give newcomers a higher starting point.

But Yang Xiao couldn't go to any of them.

Because there is no money at home.

The old man is seriously ill in bed and there is no hope of recovery.

Most of the money he earned as a university professor, his retirement money, and the money left by his students when they visited him were spent by the man in a carefree manner.

Yang Xiao's previous life was beaten and scolded by men when he grew up. Just like in his previous life, he was now in a period of weakness and cowardice.

The only brave thing about my predecessor was that he ignored the old man's objection and threw the scholarship for promotion into the bottomless pit of the hospital the next second after he got it.

Even so, it is still a drop in the bucket, because the old man's condition is far from being able to be solved with a simple five or six-digit figure.

In the storybooks, the top student in the class should have many people to sponsor him, but in real life, how many people can sponsor him?

In other words, who knows whether you are just talking nonsense?

Every school’s senior year competition class has a survival of the fittest system, and resources need to be increased or decreased based on normal performance.

Being the first in the promotion class is both an honor and a target of public criticism.

Only a few people can withstand the pressure, because problems that can be solved by studying may not be solved in competition.

Starting from last year, check five years ago.

Among the top students in the class, only two managed to be admitted to a university with a combat department as trainers.

The remaining three people all changed their careers after graduation.

One went to study programming, one went to study law, and the other went to study medicine.

If being a trainer was really that easy, it wouldn't be so valuable.

The school is willing to act as a mentor.

However, when faced with the old man's illness, he could only shake his head regretfully, expressing his powerlessness.

This person has invested too much money and is really not a good person.

But in this situation, the old man gave him an elf egg.

Touching the shell of the elf egg, Yang Xiao held it in his arms.

To him, this was no fairy egg.

This is the love of the old man.

Although he didn't know where the old man got the egg, nor when he got it...wait!

Yang Xiao’s eyes suddenly widened.

How did the man know about this elf egg?

Yang Xiao had some guesses in his mind. He took out his mobile phone and carefully browsed the latest news. After just a few swipes of his finger, he saw a piece of news that ranked 21st on the city's hot search list.

"A medium-sized secret realm named 'Chanwu Mountain', 25 kilometers away from Henghai City, has been announced to have been explored. The leader of the exploration team is none other than Qi Chuntang, the former owner of the Wuchang Province's fighting department [Wenwu Dojo]."

"It is currently expected that in the middle of next month, this secret realm will be officially open to the public and exploration restrictions will be lifted..."

"According to relevant personnel, Qi Chuntang, the former gym leader who was in semi-retirement, once brought out a gray and black Pokémon egg from 'Zenwu Mountain'."

"I originally planned to keep it for myself, but after receiving a phone call, I disappeared in a hurry. When I reappeared, the elf egg had disappeared..."

"This makes us wonder whether the talent of this elf egg is exceptionally good..."

Yang Xiao was silent for a moment.

He turned his head and looked at the gray and black elf egg in the quilt.

He turned to look at the photo of Qi Chuntang on the phone screen.

Just a few days ago, my predecessor had met this person.

He had just finished school that day and was running hurriedly in the hospital corridor, but he bumped into someone at the corner.

Based on his memory, Yang Xiao can even reproduce the feeling at that time.

It was like hitting an indestructible wall.

Just as he fell to the ground and was about to look up to apologize, he felt a huge force pulling him up, and then he saw a pair of deep and kind faces.

But before he could speak, the man shook his head, just stared at him deeply for a few seconds, and said something inexplicable:

"No medicine can help. I have already repaid you with my kindness. You should encourage me."

Then he turned and left.

This person is Qi Chuntang in the photo.

At that time, Yang Xiao was confused and in a hurry to go to the elderly man's ward, so he put the matter behind him.

I just saw out of the corner of my eye that the gambling addict father was smoking at the stairs of the non-smoking hospital.

Seeing Qi Chuntang, he seemed to know him and was about to go upstairs to get closer to him, but the other party grabbed his neck and dragged him downstairs.

Looking at the look Qi Chuntang gave the man at that time, Yang Xiao didn't think the man could escape physical pain.

After thinking it over again, Yang Xiao had figured out the whole thing.

So this is how this elf egg came about.

Stroking the surface of the egg, Yang Xiao sighed.

There is no cure, have I repaid the favor?

He is indeed the former owner of the Wenwu Dojo. It is said that this dojo believes in Confucius and is good at convincing people with reason.

Reaching out to turn off the light, he lay down in the bed, placed the elf egg on the side close to the wall, and lay on his side, warming the elf egg with his body.

"Hatch it quickly."

As he stroked the elf egg, Yang Xiao's expression became more gentle.

I can't wait to meet you.

The gray-black elf egg seemed to sense the thoughts of the person next to it. It shook suddenly, as if in response.

Yang Xiao smiled and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
