Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

There is a constant flow of traffic on the road.

A jet-black, extended, wide-body SUV was driving on the road, and there were several black cars following it as if for protection.

They rushed forward recklessly as if they had no fear at all, and sometimes the windows of the cars beside them would be rolled down, revealing angry faces who shouted curses at them.

But these black cars never responded and just kept moving forward.

There were a total of three people sitting in the leading SUV.

A driver with a goatee and even a braid.

A man in a suit sitting in the passenger seat with his eyes narrowed like crescent moons, and the "Black Lion King" who was resting with his eyes closed in the most spacious back seat.

No one in the car spoke.

Count your breaths.

Suddenly, a series of rings came from the passenger seat. The man in the suit answered the call first, then nodded slightly apologetically to the goatee, then turned sideways and whispered to the black-haired lion king in the back seat:

"I'm so sorry, I need to take a call."

The latter didn't even raise his eyelids.

The man in the suit had obviously anticipated this kind of reaction. He put the phone to his ear, listened quietly for a few seconds, and the smile on his face became even more profound.

"My Lord, I have news for you."

There was still no answer from the back seat.

The man in the suit just said to himself: "It is said that someone saw a man wearing a straw raincoat and straw hat at the entrance of Taohai Dojo..."

Before he finished speaking, a pair of violent eyes in the back seat slowly opened.

"It is reported that this person has many physical characteristics that are consistent with the previous gym leader..."

"Speed ​​up."

A hoarse voice suddenly interrupted the suit man's unfinished words.

He was also very sensible. He closed his mouth almost at the same time and looked out the window with a slight smile.

The voice from the back seat continued: "I need to be there within two hours."

"……clear."

The man with the goatee nodded silently.

Even the largest airport in Northern Province is more than 70 miles away from the city center due to geographical reasons, and there is no highway that can be crossed by a horse.

It is not an easy task to travel 60 kilometers in one hour.

But he had no choice but to accept it.

then.

He pulled the intercom off the console and said coldly, "All vehicles, full speed, immediately."

The words fell.

The cars that were already moving fast accelerated again, as if they were racing on the road.

This made many drivers who were previously indignant stunned for a moment, and even their anger gradually subsided.

"never mind."

Someone got back into the car and said to his friend, "It's like someone in these people's family has died, and they're rushing to help reincarnate. We have a happy family, so we won't argue with them about this."

...

"Hey?"

"Haha, Yang Xiao, guess who I am."

"...First, Zheng Xi is ruled out. Since you are a man, Tao Wanwan is also ruled out. Teacher Huo is by my side, so that is also ruled out. Pei Zhilang disappeared mysteriously. I don't know what he is busy with..."

"Well, then I am..."

"Oh, oh my brain, oh."

Yang Xiao's voice made people feel like they were there. They could imagine that he was twisting his head and covering his head with a look of pain on his face:

"It's so hard to guess, oops!"

There was silence on the other end of the line.

moment.

A wild laugh suddenly rang out.

The owner of the voice seemed to have seized an opportunity and began to laugh at someone crazily.

Count your breaths.

"Yang Xiao!"

The person who spoke earlier spoke again, but his voice was much sharper, and even had a hint of crying in it:

"It's been less than a month since we last met, have you already forgotten me?"

On the other end of the phone, the crazy laughter became even more crazy.

Yang Xiao was silent.

There was no doubt that this was just a friendly prank, but he really didn't expect that Zhang Da would respond to him with such feedback.

It makes people lose all interest.

"Zhang Da..."

Yang Xiao rubbed his brows, feeling exhausted: "Stop howling, let's talk about the matter. By the way, why did you think of calling me?"

The screaming on the other end of the phone stopped abruptly.

"Ah, we've come to play with you. We're almost at the Taohai Gym!"

After a while of pushing and shoving, Tao Wanwan's lively voice came over: "Are you happy? Are you very happy?"

"Now?"

Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment.

He didn't have the habit of posting on WeChat Moments. Although Chen Zhen had already published the news that he would challenge Tao Hai Gym today, that was something that had just happened not long ago.

If Zhang Da and his men have already arrived in the North, they would have set out at least in the morning or even earlier.

How do they know their itinerary?

"It's Jiang Jiangyo."

Tao Wanwan was smiling playfully on the phone, and one could easily hear the joy and anticipation in her voice:

"She called us in the middle of the night and said that you might challenge the Tao Hai Gym in the next two days and asked if we wanted to come over to play with you."

"We figured it was vacation time anyway, so we decided to come and play with you!"

Jiang Youyi?

Yang Xiao thought for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face: "Okay, when you arrive, I'll pick you up at the door."

"Okay, see you later!"

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Yang Xiao's face gradually disappeared, and his eyes were once again on the man in front of him.

Qi Chuntang sat upright, looking at the young man with an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

It had been several months since they last met, but he still couldn't see through the boy in front of him.

When we first met, the boy was timid and ordinary, and it would be an understatement to say that he was a rough diamond.

When we met for the second time, although the boy was reserved, his arrogance was evident in his every move.

This was the third time they met, and the boy's reservedness seemed to be natural, which was surprising.

Just a second before answering the phone, the atmosphere here was obviously a bit heavy, but then Yang Xiao was able to chat with his friends in a relaxed tone.

Not even a hint of the heavy emotions here were conveyed.

You said that young people have big ambitions, but Qi Chuntang himself doesn't believe it.

So he really couldn't see through it.

"Yang Xiao."

There was silence in the house for a while, and Qi Chuntang said slowly: "I regret it now, but I don't regret it at the same time."

"Regret what Disciple Bear has entrusted to you, and it's the same if you don't regret it."

There was a pause.

He continued, "Because I really didn't expect that you would be able to do something that I and many other people haven't done... and even do it so quickly."

“Maybe someone will say you are lucky, but luck is something that everyone has, but not everyone can master it.”

Qi Chuntang looked into the boy's eyes quietly and said word by word: "Don't be afraid, I promise nothing will happen today."

next to.

Huo Jun frowned slightly.

He suddenly felt a strong sense of "crisis", which was just like an adult man inviting Cheng Di out.

Come come.

Huo Jun's whole body tensed up.

Are you going to rob someone?

"Don't worry, Master Qi."

Yang Xiao smiled slightly at Qi Chuntang's words, with a relaxed smile on his face: "I'm just here to participate in the gym battle. I'm not afraid of anything."

"Besides, you and the teacher are with me... If I'm still afraid, then I'm too cowardly. It would be embarrassing for the teacher and I'd be sorry for you handing me your bear apprentice."

"Humph."

Huo Jun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, crossed his arms, and stood straight.

That's more or less.
