Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

Gym badge battles are an unavoidable topic in Pokémon works.

In movies and TV shows, it is an extremely long plot that spans the main storyline, with corresponding events occurring in almost every gym.

In the game, he is a signature gameplay that extends from red-green-blue to vermilion.

When Yang Xiao played the Pokémon game in his previous life, he would often feel excited about defeating a gym.

I even deliberately came into contact with some adaptations that were inspired by love, just to enjoy the combined game of brain and cheating.

In this world, the number of gyms belonging to each alliance has greatly increased, and their strength has also greatly increased.

Thanks to the already popular Pokémon battle atmosphere and the fact that there are battles every day all year round, Gym Battles can be said to be the hottest "offline program" in various countries.

almost.

In every city that has a gym, its gym is one of the city’s most lively attractions. Tourists will take photos there, and locals will also watch this scene with pride.

For trainers, gym battles have a different meaning.

There are a total of eighteen badges in the eighteen attribute gyms. Every time you get one, it not only represents the gym owner's recognition of your ability, but also means that your subsidy for the whole year will be increased by a certain amount.

Although the amount of improvement is still not large.

more importantly.

After obtaining a certain number of badges, you can participate in various official formal competitions to gain fame, resources, property and status.

The number of badges an individual holds will be refreshed at the end of each year, which means that if trainers want to obtain increased subsidies or competition qualifications, they need to travel to various places to challenge gyms year after year.

therefore.

Every year, a large number of trainers travel back and forth between cities using various means of transportation.

They don't even need to do any other work. The bonus money from defeating the gym and the increase in subsidies are enough for the survival of their family of three.

...

"Please make your choice."

A middle-aged man in a white suit stood in front of Yang Xiao, holding a contract covered with handwriting: "Choose singles or doubles, one time or multiple times."

"This gym accepts trainers to choose the challenge mode on their own, but I need to remind you that: Needless to say, if you choose the former multiple times, the number of Pokémon you will fight will only be fixed at three, and will not change according to the number you have."

There was a pause.

He glanced at the Electabuzzer who was doing sit-ups next to him, and the Electabuzzer who was sitting on his lap and reading a paper book with great interest, and said:

"Although you have only registered one, all gyms offer the function of uploading information. We can update the trainer data for you."

"clear."

Yang Xiao smiled slightly, but did not answer immediately. After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at his two Pokémon.

As if he was aware of the gaze, Master Xiong, after performing a move, lay on the ground, breathing slightly, and also turned his head to look at Yang Xiao.

next second.

It looked at its trainer seriously and nodded heavily.

Yang Xiao smiled and glanced into the distance again.

There are my teachers, old friends and seniors.

Although no one spoke, their eyes were filled with trust in him, which made Yang Xiao feel a little amused.

I was just preparing to challenge a gym, but I don't know if you thought I was about to make some important decision.

"Single, multiple times."

"sure?"

"determine."

The referee nodded, took out a pen and quickly filled in a few blanks on the contract, then handed it to Yang Xiao:

"Please fill in the form as required. You need to write your name and citizenship number below."

Yang Xiao reached out to take it, scanned it carefully from top to bottom, and filled it out according to the referee's requirements.

Finally, he took the Indonesian number provided by the other party and clicked on his own name.

The referee looked at the contract, stuffed it into his briefcase, and said as he wrapped it with string:

"Then everything is ready. You just need to wait in the battle preparation hall to go on stage."

Done.

He nodded politely at Yang Xiao and turned to leave.

"call."

Yang Xiao stood up, stretched his muscles, and suddenly turned his head to look at the silent Tan Xiaoshi beside him.

"Charcoal smash."

"Crack?"

Tan Xiaoshi suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Yang Xiao in confusion.

"You will have this day too."

Yang Xiao reached out and stroked its head, feeling the flames that were not hot at all: "After we defeat the Taohai Gym, we will go to your house to take a look."

Hear the words.

Tan Xiaoshi was slightly stunned, and then his eyes widened.

"Crack?"

"of course it's true."

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "How could I lie to you?"

...

Bang!

The door was roughly opened, and the man with goatee took the lead, walked in and took a look around.

When he saw the person sitting inside, his eyes paused slightly, and then he stood respectfully by and made way for the person.

next second.

The two-meter-high threshold made the visitor bend down. From the moment he entered, his eyes patrolled the room unscrupulously until he saw a certain figure, and then the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Master."

His voice was rough, almost indistinguishable, and full of malice: "Long time no see, how have you been recently?"

in the room.

Qi Chuntang said nothing, but just silently used the lid to scrape the tea foam on the porcelain cup.

But a cold snort came from beside him.

"Isn't this Heavenly King Qianwu?"

The head of Taohai Gym looked at him coldly, his face full of sarcasm:

"Why don't you just clean up your gangster tail and come to my place?"

"Master Zhao Haifeng, please be careful with your words."

The reckless man only looked at Qi Chuntang, not even glancing at the owner who was talking beside him:

"What mafia? I run a legal financial investment company... Besides, you are totally disregarding the league's laws by talking to me like that."

"you!"

The owner of Taohai Pavilion glared angrily and slammed the teacup on the table:

"This is my gym. Do you really think I don't know what you're doing here? I'm already giving you face by not kicking you out."

"It's annoying to listen to the constant chatter."

The reckless man waved his hand casually, and a large group of people rushed in from the gate. One of them carried a chair and placed it behind him.

The latter sat on it naturally, holding the dragon head on the chair handle with both hands, crossed his legs and said leisurely:

"I finally get to meet you two, but you won't even let me sit on a chair?"

"I'll let you sit..."

Veins stretched tight on Zhao Haifeng's forehead, and he clenched his teeth, as if he was about to explode in anger in the next second.

The corners of the reckless man's mouth curled up slightly.

The people behind him were even more eager, as if they would pounce at the slightest command.

Sudden.

A pair of strong hands grabbed Zhao Haifeng's arm, and then a calm voice came:

"Why bother getting mad at him? The badge competition is about to start, so go get busy first."

"But……"

"fine."

Qi Chuntang raised his eyes slightly, looking at the perverse and domineering man opposite without a trace of emotion, and saw the teasing in his eyes clearly: "I will do my own thing."

"……it is good."

Zhao Haifeng was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and agreed, then glared at the other person angrily and walked towards the door.

At the gate.

The man in a suit who had been watching from the sidelines lowered his eyes slightly, even took a step back, and nodded politely to the owner of Taohai Pavilion who was walking towards him.

"Chicken-stealing and dog-stealing."

Zhao Haifeng glanced at him disdainfully and walked away.

As the footsteps faded away, the atmosphere in the room became more and more weird, like an active volcano that could explode at any time.

"Master."

After a few breaths, the reckless man spoke first.

He stood up and moved slowly forward until he reached Qi Chuntang's desk.

Then he leaned forward, his eyes widened, bloodshot eyes were clearly visible:

"Since that year, you and I have not met each other again. I miss you from the bottom of my heart."

"I often miss my fellow apprentices back then. How happy we were together? But we rarely met each other later... After all, I was busy and had no time to visit their graves."

opposite.

Qi Chuntang did not speak immediately. He took a sip of tea slowly and said, "Feng Gou'er..."

Bang!

Before he finished speaking, the wooden table flew across the sky, followed by an angry shout: "My name is Feng Jujia, not Laoshen Feng Gouer."

The splashing tea spilled over Qi Chuntang.

His movements paused slightly, then he slowly stood up and looked up at the man who was more than a head taller than him and more than a body taller than him.

Then, he slowly said, "Back then, your parents abandoned you at the Wenwu Dojo. Because their family was poor, they kowtowed and begged me to take you in, and I agreed."

"Let's not talk about it anymore, but if I were to do it again ten thousand times, I would still choose to accept you."

The reckless man sneered, and his expression gradually became ferocious:

"Then thank you very much, Master... I heard that you gave your bear apprentice to a child? Is that my fellow apprentice? Great, I will definitely go to meet him."

"We will get along very well... just like me and my fellow apprentices back then."

But at this moment, Qi Chuntang was not as angry as he expected, but said to himself:

"...It's better not to call you by that nickname, after all, it has the character 'animal' in it. And you need that name now."

"After all, you are worse than a beast."

"You can do it ten thousand times, and I will still take you in, but..."

Qi Chuntang looked at his former disciple and said sternly, "I will strangle you to death and will never let you live in disgrace and harm others!"

"Even if it means I will disobey my teacher and sage! I was blind to choose to let you live!"

boom!

The giant kicked the door open without saying a word, and just put down the wooden basket in his hand angrily.

The densely packed Poké Balls inside were shaking slightly.

Outside the door, noisy voices came into the room.

now.

The competition has officially begun in the gym, and the momentum is so great that it even overshadows the hustle and bustle of traffic outside the gym.
