Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

The next morning.

Yang Xiao received feedback from the interview.

After glancing at the various comments under the official blog, Yang Xiao put his phone aside and concentrated on brushing his teeth in front of the mirror.

Most of the comments are positive.

Some people questioned his words, which was normal. After all, judging from Yang Xiao's current strength, it was hard to believe that he and Disciple Bear had only been in contact for about a month before their first performance.

After washing up, Yang Xiao helped his sleepy apprentice Xiong to wash up as well. After everything was done, he picked him up and walked to the living room.

The eggshell hits the edge of the pot, the egg liquid heats the pot and the oil cools down.

Fry an egg in thirty seconds.

The apron-wearing lady was skillfully flipping the pan, frying the eggs until both sides were crispy. Next to her were hot milk and a few square slices of bread.

The baby Marsupialosaurus was not in its mother's pouch at the moment, but was sitting in a remote location in the living room, enthusiastically playing with the toy that Yang Xiao had just bought for it.

Taking the plate handed over by the mother of the marsupial dragon, Yang Xiao looked at the steaming breakfast on it and said with a smile: "Thank you!"

The marsupial dragon smiled gently.

After breakfast, Yang Xiao put his apprentice bear and dragon into the ball, put his apprentice bear's Poké Ball on his waist, and put the dragon's Poké Ball in the interlayer of his backpack.

Ever since the rookie competition became more rigorous, Yang Xiao would no longer wear the Tasmanian Dragon on the day of the competition. After all, it would be difficult to explain if he was caught, so he could only carry it in his backpack.

As for not bringing it out...

This option did not exist in Yang Xiao's mind.

After getting in the car and arriving at the arena, Yang Xiao pulled up his mask and went in through the hidden back door outside the arena.

There were still security guards waiting for him at the door.

Today, its match was not ranked first as usual, but it was the first match in the afternoon. He had plenty of time to rest or study the opponent's Pokémon to formulate strategies.

So when he found the lounge at the competition venue, he immediately took out his mobile phone and opened his notes to check whether there was anything wrong in his judgment of his opponent.

So far, there seems to be no problem.

The other person's name is Chen Yuan, a high school student studying in Northern Province. He went home to rest during the summer vacation and seemed to want to participate in a competition for fun, but he didn't expect to end up here.

Making some money was a pleasant surprise.

But this is definitely not a coincidence.

Its Pokémon is a Scyther, and judging from its previous game videos, it should not be underestimated.

At the very least, he is an excellent new Pokémon trainer who has talent and knows how to train Pokémon.

and.

Scyther has both insect-type and flying-type attributes, allowing it to achieve four times the fighting resistance when facing the fighting-type bear apprentice.

Frankly speaking…

This is not good news.

Judging from talent alone, even if Apprentice Bear crushes Scyther, I'm afraid four times the resistance would be enough for it to reduce the disadvantage a little.

Imagine defeating it with ease, but it may take some effort, because the best thing about this Sly Mantis is not attack or defense, but speed.

As for Disciple Bear’s speed… it’s pretty good, but not exceptionally good.

Even if there is a gap in strength, what’s the point if you can’t hit the target?

No wonder……

Yang Xiao remembered the comments he saw while brushing his teeth in the morning.

No wonder Chen Yuan is currently ranked third in the online vote for the championship, only behind Yang Xiao and red-haired Zheng Xi.

"Northern Province No. 11 High School..."

Silently reciting the name of Chen Yuan's high school in the North, Yang Xiao reached for his waist and released his bear apprentice, turned his phone to the picture of the fighting Scyther, and handed it to the latter.

"Disciple Bear, this is the opponent you will face next... Get familiar with its speed first."

"Huha."

Apprentice Xiong nodded seriously.

Among the people who were called to win the championship, Zheng Xi ranked second, which did not surprise Yang Xiao.

Although whenever he was mentioned, Yang Xiao would instinctively think of the time when he first met Jiang Youyi and he was scolded by that man and his defenses were broken.

of course.

He would also remember that after Yang Xiao's first game, he sat in the audience and made a "thumbs down" gesture to Yang Xiao.

Although he only did that action once.

It's not that he didn't run into Zheng Xi again in the arena during this period, but the other party seemed to have changed his personality.

When facing Yang Xiao, he was no longer so arrogant, but tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.

He began to become cautious.

There is only one possibility for this kind of change.

Yang Xiao smiled slightly.

That is……

It is very likely that Zheng Xi paid attention to Yang Xiao's subsequent games.

The first time he made that move, it was because he himself looked down on Tao Wanwan's fan Blim and thought that he could do it, which might actually be the case.

If Zheng Xi fights against Tao Wanwan, he will definitely win.

but.

When he saw Yang Xiao's subsequent battle, he quickly changed his mind and adjusted his attitude appropriately.

This is also normal.

If he had been a little bit stupid, it would have been impossible for him to be promoted to the next grade in Henghai No. 3 Middle School as the fourth place in the promotion examination.

They are all smart people, how can there be any fools?

Whoever thinks they are stupid is a fool.

Thoughts turn.

Leaving his disciple Xiong staring at the battle on the screen, Yang Xiao stood up to stretch his body, while thinking about some tactics that he could use when facing Chen Yuan.

Overall, it’s really hard to solve.

It's fast, can fly, has high attack power, and has four times the resistance.

Chen Yuan and Zheng Xi are the only two people Yang Xiao considers to be opponents in the rookie competition. Among them, Zhou Yuan has a higher priority because he is more capable of restraining the bear disciple.

The rest are insignificant.

I originally thought I would meet him in the later games, but I didn't expect to meet him now before I even made it to the quarterfinals.

If he were defeated, among the next opponents, perhaps only Zheng Xi could arouse his interest.

Speaking of which...

This is the first time that I've started to figure out my opponent.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiao couldn't help but laugh.

Bang bang bang!

There was a knock on the lounge door.

"Please come in."

"Hello."

Two medical staff in white coats walked in, still holding the beautiful leaf with the "Healing Heart" trait in their hands: "We need to check your participating Pokémon. We will come to check it again before the competition starts."

"Please."

Yang Xiao spread out his hands, indicating that he could do whatever he wanted.

"Huha."

After looking at the screen for a long time, when Apprentice Xiong looked up again, his face had turned sad: "Huha, huha!"

Yang Xiao laughed out loud: "It's normal to not expect it. It's okay. I have already thought of a solution."

"Huhu?"

"of course it's true."

Approaching the bear apprentice, Yang Xiao reached out and rubbed its head: "Trust your trainer!"

"Huh!"

Apprentice Xiong immediately got up, broke away from the medical staff, and stared at Yang Xiao with admiration.

Yang Xiao smiled and pressed his palm.

Basic exercises, don’t do six.
