Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

As the competition becomes increasingly popular, Director Wang plans to arrange interviews with all the top 16 contestants.

of course.

The main target of the arrangement is still Yang Xiao.

Few contestants would refuse such an offer, because most of them are young and energetic teenagers and are unlikely to resist becoming famous.

in contrast.

Many teenagers also believe that the more interviews of this kind, the better.

more importantly……

Yang Xiao recalled what Director Wang said to him on the phone after he accompanied Miblim to the test in the morning.

"We have reached a cooperation agreement with the Henghai City News Center."

The voice on the phone was faintly excited: "Before the end of the game, the news center will broadcast the game video on TV the day after the game."

Is this considered being on TV?

It definitely counts.

After standing by and waiting for a while, Yang Xiao noticed that a staff member was waving at him.

The latter took him to a single room. When he opened the door, he saw the female host who was already prepared and the cameraman carrying a camera.

Noticing the gaze, the female host stopped organizing the interview manuscript in her hand and looked up at the source of the gaze: "Hello."

"Hello."

"Please take a seat. Let's do a simple interview."

Yang Xiao glanced at the female host secretly.

It’s not that he was interested in her, it’s just that he had seen her before... on TV.

He is the gold medal host of Henghai City News Center.

"Do not be nervous."

The female host looked at Yang Xiao and smiled, "It's not a live broadcast, it can be edited, so you can answer freely."

"Ah."

Yang Xiao nodded.

"Okay, let's officially start?"

"no problem."

The cameraman pressed a key skillfully.

When the red light in front of the camera came on, the female host with her back to the camera seemed to have eyes behind her and stretched out her hand to signal Yang Xiao to start introducing himself.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yang Xiao, a preparatory student for the Henghai No. 3 Middle School's combat class."

"Hello Yang Xiao, I'm the host Li Lin... I heard that you were very good at studying before your senior year of high school. Do you have any secrets?"

Yang Xiao pondered for a moment, and seemed a little hesitant, but finally said directly: "Diligence can make up for lack of talent...but it also requires some talent."

"So, in your studies, are you more diligent or more talented?"

"Hard work 60%, talent 40%."

Yang Xiao continued: "Normally, none of these points alone is enough, but when added together, they are enough."

"Uh-huh."

The host smiled and nodded, then casually asked, "I noticed that you participated in the rookie competition at the Sixth Arena. What was your reason for participating in the competition?"

Yang Xiao blurted out: "Money and a compulsory exercise device."

"What do you mean? Are you short of money?"

"lack."

Yang Xiao was not embarrassed at all, but said seriously: "I am short of money, so I need to make money."

"Ok."

The host turned around and looked at the camera guy. After the latter closed the camera cover sensibly, she turned her head and looked at Yang Xiao: "Can I ask you about your original family?"

"better not."

"Well, then I won't ask you about this part... I'll resume recording in five seconds, don't move."

Done.

The camera guy opened the cover and filmed the two people in front of him.

After silently checking a few numbers, the host resumed his interview attitude.

"Let me take a look at the rules and regulations of the rookie competition. The mandatory training device is a reward that only the champion can get. Did you think you could become the champion at that time?"

"……Yes."

"why?"

"Um……"

Yang Xiao was silent for a while, then said:

"If a trainer is not confident enough, then he will never become a good trainer. I trust my bear apprentice and have a strict training plan for the future. Therefore, I believe... we can charge towards the championship."

"How long have you had the bear apprentice?"

"It's been a long time."

"Specifically..."

"About three days... or two?"

"Oh?"

The female host's eyes lit up.

This is a hot spot.

Less than three days after getting the Pokémon, the boy in front of him was sure that he could win the rookie competition in a month?

and……

He is indeed the biggest favorite to win the championship at the moment.

"In the three battles you've had, is there anyone who left a deep impression on you?"

"From a match perspective, no; apart from the match, the middle-aged man I encountered during the 32-to-16 round made me feel a little emotional. The courage to pursue dreams is worthy of respect."

"I noticed that the first person who mentioned your name was Jiang Youyi from Henghai No. 1 Middle School. Are you familiar with her?"

"I know a lot of people on the internet say that we know each other, or that we are rivals or something... but we are not familiar with each other and have only met once."

“This answer is quite unexpected.”

The female host looked a little surprised: "If you've only met once... then you can't really be considered familiar with each other."

"Yes."

Yang Xiao turned his head to look at the camera and said leisurely: "But I am very grateful that she mentioned my name. This has given me a lot of help... So I am looking forward to having a battle with her one day."

"For your upcoming senior year, are you confident that you can get the top spot in the Henghai No. 3 Middle School competition class?"

"Have."

Yang Xiao nodded and continued, "Although this may sound a bit crazy, in fact... I really don't think the position of chief will flow to anyone else."

"I can see that you are very confident."

The female host paused, glanced at the interview manuscript in her hand, and continued: "Have you paid attention to other contestants?"

"Have."

Yang Xiao said frankly: "Although I am confident that I can win the game, I still can't take it lightly. So after the official announcement of the players' information, I went to find out more."

"Did you gain anything? For example, did you find a tougher opponent?"

"It's rewarding."

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "I am more confident that I can win in the end."

The female host also smiled cooperatively.

The young man is very sensible. He knows how to set up some discussion points for the audience. I just don’t know if you can really win in the end.

Once you "die halfway", the backlash of this conversation will probably haunt you for years.

"The above is the complete interview content of Li Lin from Henghai City News Center."

...

The interview should air in the evening.

There is no problem with Yang Xiao. The female host highly praised the content of his interview, saying that it does not require a lot of editing and can be performed on stage after some simple modifications.

But other people all have some problems to varying degrees, but these problems are not too serious. They are simply caused by being stuck on words or being too awkward.

When the female host was leaving, Director Wang came over and said that his interview video would almost certainly be the last one to be shown.

This is to avoid the embarrassing situation where the audience changes channels after the opening show.

Don't say it.

This could actually happen.

Up to now, Yang Xiao’s popularity in the rookie competition is far ahead of others, and the rest of the people combined can barely compete with him.

With both good looks and strength, he stands in the forefront of everyone like a big devil, almost untouchable.
