Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

Yang Xiao looked at the woman calmly.

All this was within his calculations.

From seeing the idler when going out, to calling the security desk, and then going upstairs to meet the stranded sheriff.

Including the conversation between the two, the rhythm was completely controlled by Yang Xiao, and the reason why he had not admitted it was to lead to what he was going to say next.

"Then why don't you admit it?"

"I'm sorry, Sheriff Lee."

Yang Xiao's smile faded, and he lowered his eyes, as if regretting: "I shouldn't have done this, mainly because... I was scared."

"Fear?"

The woman's anger at being teased subsided a little.

"Yes, I am afraid."

"Just yesterday, some rude people came to my house and almost tore it apart."

Yang Xiao pointed to the empty living room and said, "Yesterday, the living room was full of furniture."

The woman looked around and was silent for a moment.

Before this, he thought that the tenant had just moved into a new home, and was a little surprised when Yang Xiao said that he was the owner of the house. But before he could ask, Yang Xiao had already brought him to the next topic.

The woman hesitated and said, "That group of people..."

"It's the criminal gang in Red Central."

Yang Xiao pretended to be calm, but the woman could see clearly the worry he was hiding:

"I'm just an ordinary high school student. I was really worried about being retaliated by them, so I didn't dare to admit it... Even if you said they were arrested, I would just want to keep the peace, because who knows if they will be released?"

"Where are your parents?"

"I'm divorced, my mother remarried, my father broke the law and is probably in custody right now, my grandfather just passed away a while ago, and now I'm living on my own."

The woman immediately comforted him, "Most of them are sentenced to life imprisonment. Even if some of them can be released, it will be ten years later... I can't tell you more. I can only tell you that they are sentenced for multiple crimes. This is definitely not a single case."

"That's good."

Yang Xiao wiped his red eyes and smiled brightly: "I know I can trust the sheriff, there will be no problem."

Hearing these words, the woman instinctively straightened her chest. She looked at the curly-haired boy in front of her and couldn't help feeling a little pity.

She took two steps forward and gently hugged Yang Xiao, who was pretending to be strong in her eyes.

Yang Xiao rested his hand on her heaving chest, his eyes turning deep.

In his previous life, he roamed the streets, was cheated too many times, and met too many different kinds of people, so he developed a pair of discerning eyes.

Even if you can't tell the whole story from the small details, at least you can get a simple understanding of the other person's character from his actions, expressions and way of speaking.

For example, the female sheriff in front of him obviously had just entered the job not long ago.

Because of this, he chose to make full use of the other party's sympathy when he first came into contact with the case to cover up his previous behavior.

How could he have known that the sheriff was so powerful and caught them all with just one phone call? Did no one report it before?

Or did something unexpected happen to him?

"Sheriff Lee..."

"My name is Li Rushuang, you can call me sister."

Li Rushuang touched the boy's fluffy hair and thought of her younger brother in her hometown.

"Sister Rushuang."

Yang Xiao broke free from his embrace, his cheeks slightly red: "I want to ask you something."

"You said."

"You sheriffs are so quick, have you been keeping an eye on them for a long time?"

Seeing Yang Xiao's eyes flashing with admiration, Li Rushuang hesitated for a moment and said frankly:

"No, there have been several routine inspections before, but nothing was found."

"This time, it just so happened that the former gym trainer who led the team to explore the secret realm of 'Zenwu Mountain' some time ago, Qi Chuntang, the gym leader, came to our branch office to give guidance, so he went along."

"After we went there, we seemed to have discovered a certain... er, acquaintance, so we directly dismantled the Koda Duck chess and card room, and then we discovered some secrets. We followed the clues and finally arrested all of them."

"I see."

Yang Xiao already understood.

It seems that I am lucky.

He asked casually: "That acquaintance..."

"He is a victim, but he was indeed coerced into participating in some extremely serious illegal acts. He will be given a lighter sentence...about three years."

Yang Xiao almost blurted out: Please sentence him harshly.

But in the end, reason prevailed.

The conversation between the two was relatively normal afterwards.

They agreed to go to the branch office next week to collect the bonus. The two added each other as friends on Rayquaza's WeChat. Then Li Rushuang left Yang Xiao's home because of work.

Yang Xiao also completely relaxed.

There is no sincerity in this conversation, it's all acting.

If the 100,000 yuan bonus was not so important, he would never have gone through so much trouble just to subtly eliminate the influence of his repeated excuses to Li Rushuang when they first met.

tired.

After releasing the marsupial dragon, Yang Xiao lay straight towards the other party.

The bag dragon raised its hand to catch Yang Xiao, with a smile in its eyes.

It was in the Poké Ball and heard the conversation clearly.

The average IQ of Pokémon is mostly on par with that of humans, and there are very few that are lower than that of humans. After all, they are responsible for fighting, and if their IQ is not high enough, they would probably find it difficult to understand the trainer's instructions.

The baby marsupial dragon crawled out of the belly pouch, moved to sit on Yang Xiao's chest, and giggled with its mouth covered.

Lying in the warm arms of the marsupial dragon, Yang Xiao just felt very tired.

After resting for a while, Yang Xiao returned to his room and put the elf egg into the bedding as usual.

Then I went to grandpa's room, kowtowed and burned incense.

Finally, I called and waited for the locksmith to come.

While the master was installing the lock, Yang Xiao put the purchased items in his room and classified them one by one.

The marsupial dragon was outside watching the locksmith, while the baby marsupial dragon was lying on Yang Xiao's bed, licking the milk in his hand.

Yang Xiao looked back and laughed, "Is it delicious?"

The baby marsupial nods frantically, a happy smile on its face.

"That's fine. If it tastes good, the money is not wasted."

Spreading the books he bought on the ground, Yang Xiao read through the knowledge points on them attentively, and occasionally recorded some important information on a separate white paper.

During the first and second year of high school, the school did teach some basic knowledge about breeding Pokémon.

This knowledge is indeed sufficient for daily use, but if you want to take a step further towards becoming a trainer, it is somewhat insufficient.

That's why Yang Xiao bought those more professional cultivation-related books, and spent the whole day studying hard in the house except for eating and going to the toilet.

It was not until the evening that I had roughly read through these books.

I have made some preparations on how to train young Pokémon, and now all I have to do is wait for it to hatch.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at the gray-black elf egg.

The Pokémon eggs in real life are not uniformly pure white like in the games, but are more like in the anime, where you can infer the type of Pokémon from the color of the eggshell.

among them.

The areas on the eggshell that have more colors often represent its properties.

But even though Yang Xiao spent a lot of time using his mobile phone, he couldn't find an elf egg that looked similar to his own.

Is it because it hasn’t been released yet?

It is possible.

Although the history of elves is longer than that of humans, a large number of Pokémon were still discovered from a secret realm that suddenly appeared eight hundred years ago. To date, more than 800 species of Pokémon have been registered.

But Yang Xiao knew that this number was wrong.

Before he was reborn, the number of Pokémon had exceeded 1000.

Since I can’t guess it, I won’t guess it anymore. I’ll know which Pokémon it is once it hatches.

One of Yang Xiao’s greatest strengths is that he listens to advice.

...

Three days later, it was night.

The only sound in the room was Yang Xiao's gentle breathing.

The elf egg that Yang Xiao was unconsciously holding in his arms suddenly moved.

Then the bright light instantly illuminated the dim dormitory. Yang Xiao was illuminated by the strong light in a trance. He propped himself up and turned on the light in the room.

Seeing the situation in front of him, he suddenly woke up.

He suddenly pulled the quilt open, rolled over to the ground, leaving enough space for the elf egg.

then.

He stared at the white light with his sharp eyes, as if there was endless flame in his eyes.

He only felt his breathing becoming increasingly tense, as if...

At this moment.

He completely found his long-lost youth.
