Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

Yang Xiao picked up his disciple Xiong and held him high towards the audience.

The audience responded with thunderous applause, and some even shouted Apprentice Xiong's name in a low voice.

Apprentice Bear was all smiles and looked extremely excited.

Yang Xiao smiled slightly.

Judging from the appearance of the audience, my tactics must have been successful.

What tactic?

That is to give up the entanglement with each other and directly choose the tactic of suppression.

The battle lasted no more than five minutes in total, but it left a much deeper impression on the audience than those back-and-forth battles.

after all.

Even if the new trainers fight back and forth, the levels of their own Pokémon are still there, so what tricks can they perform?

Not to mention that both sides are one-on-one.

"Awesome, Lao Yang."

In front of the railing of the audience seats, Zhang Da's face flushed red, and he looked even more excited than Yang Xiao: "Brother, I really didn't expect it to be so fierce!"

Done.

He turned around and looked at the person next to him, then pointed at Yang Xiao and continued, "This is my buddy, a pure iron man."

Smiling and waving at Zhang Da, Yang Xiao shifted his gaze and quickly looked around the entire audience.

He had never met most of them.

But there were also a small number of students from No. 3 Middle School whom Yang Xiao had seen before. Although he didn't know their names, Yang Xiao recognized their faces.

And then……

I moved my gaze to the back row and saw the expressionless red-haired man.

Is this a familiar face?

Noticing Yang Xiao's gaze, Zheng Xi raised his eyebrows, gave Yang Xiao a thumbs up, and then slowly lowered it.

He is provocative.

Yang Xiao chuckled and continued to look elsewhere. Finally, he retracted his gaze and looked at the short-haired girl with slightly red eyes who was squatting next to Mibrim opposite him.

At this moment, the referee was spraying the Pokémon with healing spray.

"What happened, referee?"

Yang Xiao slowly approached and asked, "Is its injury serious?"

"good."

After finishing the spray, the referee looked up at Yang Xiao and said, "Your Pokémon's move proficiency is not low, and it is close to the power of the fine iron level. This Miblim may have a slight concussion."

Hear the words.

Yang Xiao nodded and turned his gaze to the short-haired girl who had been looking down. "According to the 'League Competition Management Law', the training costs of Pokémon injured in legal competitions shall be borne by the trainer himself."

The short-haired girl looked up at him angrily.

"but."

Yang Xiao's eyes were calm as he continued, "Out of humanitarianism, if you choose to go to the medical center, I can reimburse you half of the money as long as I see the exact receipt."

"unnecessary."

Tao Wanwan's eyes were red: "I don't need your..."

"If I were you, I would be carrying Miblim to the medical center right now."

Yang Xiao interrupted her without finishing her words. His voice remained calm, but his brows were slightly furrowed.

"Besides, you are not as skilled as others, so what is there to complain about? Instead of complaining about the world, why not think about how to improve yourself? If you can't pass the exam to become a trainer in the future, do you have to blame others for setting too high a threshold?"

Tao Wanwan opened her mouth but didn't say a word.

Yang Xiao stopped paying attention to her and turned to walk towards his lounge:

"As a fellow trainer, I understand how you feel, so what I said just now still applies. But it's not because I was wrong, but..."

He stopped and turned his face to the side.

He glanced at her calmly, "It's just the mercy of the victor."

Mercy...?

Tao Wanwan sat on the ground, staring blankly at Yang Xiao as he walked into the lounge. After a few seconds, she came to her senses, picked up Miblim from the ground, and turned to run towards the fast passage leading to the auditorium.

"Give way, give way."

As she ran, she shouted, "Excuse me, please let me out first, thank you, thank you."

The referee withdrew his gaze from Tao Wanwan, turned his head and silently looked at the lounge where Yang Xiao was.

Since he started working as a professional referee, he has seen countless rookie trainers. Most of them are no different, but there are always some who are outstanding enough.

Their temperament is completely different from that of ordinary people. Their self-confidence is beyond words. Their success may not last all the time, but as long as they are not defeated, they will eventually stand on a higher stage.

The referee silently wrote down Yang Xiao's name and chuckled.

Let me try to get some autographed photos first. I have a feeling that I will see him on TV one day.

...

"I'm sorry to have wronged you, Disciple Bear."

Touching his bear apprentice's cheek, Yang Xiao said gently, "Go back to the Poké Ball for a while."

Apprentice Xiong nodded sensibly.

After putting away the Poké Ball, Yang Xiao followed the direction he came from, all the way back to the central lounge, and then from the central lounge back to the lobby of the museum.

As soon as I showed up, I looked up and saw the large screen on the central ceiling playing the preliminary results so far in a loop.

"The result of the fifth round of battle."

"In the first group, Yang Xiao from the red team faced Tao Wanwan from the blue team. The red team won."

"Second Group……"

There is no need to look at other people's results except your own.

"Hello, excuse me."

"Ok?"

Hear the sound and look.

He saw a girl with rosy cheeks and a shy look, who was now looking at him with courage: "Can I add your contact information?"

"……it is good."

Feeling the gazes of people around him, Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment and took out his cell phone.

"thanks, thanks!"

As if she hadn’t expected to succeed, the girl took a breath, thanked him profusely, and then pulled her friend out of the hall.

"Okay, Yang Xiao, have you changed?"

Putting his arm around Yang Xiao, Zhang Da made two "tsk tsk" sounds and teased, "Why, have you changed? Are you willing to open your heart to girls now?"

"No."

Yang Xiao said calmly: "There are too many people around, and I'm afraid she will embarrass herself."

"Yo?"

Zhang Da smiled and punched Yang Xiao in the chest: "Okay, you've learned to care about your sister. You're a warm-hearted man."

"Humph."

Yang Xiao looked at him disdainfully: "The warm man is behind the dog."

The two walked out into the hall, feeling the gentle afternoon breeze.

"Something to eat and drink?"

Putting his arm around Yang Xiao's shoulders, Zhang Da winked at him and said, "How about celebrating your success in the preliminary round?"

"alright."

Yang Xiao pondered for a while, then said with a smile: "You can eat the food, but you won't drink the wine. Besides, we need to confirm the condition of our disciple Xiong first."

"What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

Zhang Da was a little confused: "I didn't see it at the time."

"It's just that my physical condition is better, so I can resist the other party's seductive voice."

Touching the Poké Ball, Yang Xiao smiled and continued, "This child has a strong personality. Even if he is injured, he probably won't tell me."

"Okay, let's go to the medical center first?"

"That's not necessary."

Yang Xiao smiled and shook his head: "It hasn't come to that yet. I have a super medicine spray in my bag. When we go downstairs to eat, take it out and spray it."

"Row."

Zhang Da touched his chin and said, "Let's eat the bone stew. This will provide Apprentice Xiong with some nutrition."

"Let my foster father arrange it."

"No problem... no problem, hahahaha."
