Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

More than a dozen tall trees are located in an orderly manner in the yard, with branches covered with fallen snow.

The winter wind blows, bringing coolness.

This is a courtyard house from the imperial capital.

In the courtyard.

Irregular gray stones were paved into a stone road leading in all directions. The pond in the corner was rippling with water, which was rare because it was not frozen in winter.

This may be thanks to the swaying Magikarp inside.

The two sides of the courtyard are separated by a mud wall, and judging by the mottled appearance on it, it seems that it has not been repaired for a long time, but this also shows that the courtyard has a long history.

Under the eaves.

The old-fashioned incense burner can both retain fragrance and transmit heat.

The big man with a beard was sitting on an oval stone chair nearby.

He didn't care about his image at all, and was working hard to eat the food in his hand that didn't match the surrounding environment at all.

It is neither expensive tea nor occasional pastries.

It's a burger.

Although it doesn't look beautiful, the combination elements are very complete and the bearded man eats it with relish.

In the back room.

The huge figure lay on the ground, and his steady breathing was so heavy that it even blew up the fallen snow under the eaves outside.

When the hamburger in his hand was completely gone, the bearded man skillfully took out a piece of toilet paper to wipe his mouth, then took out his cell phone and swiped it twice.

No news.

See this.

The bearded man calmly took back his phone.

Sometimes no news is a safe message.

For example, the current situation of Cao Gong, Chief and Yulong.

The bearded man straightened his back and looked at the scene before him.

Many people in the alliance are currently uneasy, and this is becoming more and more obvious as the communication is cut off for a long time.

Those people were worried that these three people would die in that [world-destroying] secret realm.

Once this happens, the alliance's structure will inevitably change dramatically.

Thinking of this, the bearded man suddenly sighed.

Logically speaking, he should be happy.

After all, if that chief dies, then according to the current strength, qualifications and status in the Shenzhou Alliance.

Only I can truly take over the title of chief trainer and secure it completely.

But he wasn't particularly happy.

Because he knew that his strength was not weak.

But if you want to compare yourself with a country's top trainer, there is still a certain gap.

Such a gap is likely to lead to internal and external troubles.

Power, wealth and status do not have much appeal to him, so he does not want to see this.

only……

Now I can still convince myself that "nothing is a good thing", but if something really happens in a while...

Think of this.

The bearded man frowned slightly and sighed softly.

Should I also go to Fulong Island?

Although I haven't been home for a long time, I can take a good rest under the name of protecting the imperial capital, but it will be boring if I stay here for too long.

Might as well find something to do.

Just as he was sighing with emotion, the cell phone on the marble table suddenly rang, and the magical ringtone kept repeating.

“Mountain climbing, stone digging, treasure hunting, and exploration!”

"This is the romance of a real man, a real man..."

The high-pitched singing was like an opera, and passers-by outside the mud wall were startled and their faces were filled with horror.

"It's haunted in broad daylight?"

The bearded man didn't hear what was said outside, but he himself was already accustomed to the ringing sound.

But at this time, who would call me?

As one of the four kings of the alliance, his mobile phone number has a one-way communication barrier specially set up by the alliance.

Apart from the phone numbers he had specially registered, only professional numbers within the alliance could be dialed.

So who could this be?

He picked up the phone and glanced at the screen.

The pupils suddenly solidified.

Yang Xiao?

Although they left their phone numbers the last time they met, the two had not had any contact during this period, except for a few simple greetings during the holidays.

He also sent himself a short video of the young blacksmith at that time. It seemed that the young blacksmith was well trained and full of energy.

But why did you call me this time?

The bearded man raised his head slightly, was silent for a moment, and finally answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Yang Xiao?"

"King Guan, it's me."

The voice on the phone was clear and cheerful: "I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Ok?"

The bearded man paused for a moment in surprise, then chuckled, "So direct?"

"I'm sorry, it's really urgent."

The boy continued apologetically, "The main reason is that we really need your help."

"The specific situation is this..."

...

After explaining the key points of the matter in full, Yang Xiao took a sip of throat-soaking tea and began to wait for the other party's response.

From the middle of his narration of the events, the bearded man stopped talking and just chose to listen quietly.

Obviously the other party also realized the seriousness of the situation.

Count your breaths.

It was not until nearly ten years later that a heavy and serious voice came over the phone: "Anything else?"

"These are the key points, and there are some details that have not been mentioned."

The young man said without even thinking, "And it's absolutely true. Shen Hong, the team leader of the Imperial Capital Research Institute, can testify for me."

In the courtyard.

Guan Zaishan did not reply immediately, but his eyes shook slightly, as if he was judging something.

He didn't know the Imperial Capital Research Institute, nor did he know the people inside.

But he knew that Yang Xiao had no need to fabricate a person out of thin air to lie.

But this statement is a bit shocking.

of course.

He wasn't talking about legendary Pokémon. The idea of ​​them all gathering in one secret realm was too shocking.

But it is too shocking that a guy is full of aggressiveness and can use energy of the same attribute to progress.

Even if the vast majority of legendary Pokémon have bad tempers, they will not attack fragile lives at will.

Their pride would not allow them to do so.

Unless you are unlucky, they are really unhappy at that time, or they really don't like you.

This kind of aggressiveness was very rare among the Shenzhou legendary Pokémon he had known.

Even the very tough "Lord of Terror" in the "Great Tomb Mountain" did not kill all the ghost-type Pokémon in that secret place.

"So, you want me to accompany you into [Yu Lei Sen] to solve this trouble?"

"Yes."

The young man said firmly:

“Believe me, this is definitely a problem. No one knows the limit of His devouring ability, and no one knows how big He will eventually grow.”

“Even if “He” is unlikely to grow to the level of “World Destroying Level”, who dares to bet on this? Do you really want us to let a new “World Destroying Level” secret realm be born with our own hands?”

"Lord Guan, I really have no other choice."

In the dormitory.

The young man was talking on the phone calmly, but his voice sounded a little tired and helpless:

"I called Lord Cao and Chief Qin, but he didn't answer. In this case, I can only trust you..."

"Okay, no need to say more."

Just then, the other party's voice interrupted it.

The boy shut up immediately.

next second.

"Your words weren't very suggestive, but I could tell you really wanted me to go."

"Yang Xiao, you know, I once discussed something with the Chief, and we finally reached an agreement—"

“——The world does not have a fixed protagonist, but the protagonist will emerge at the right time until he or she reveals his or her anchor point in the era.”

"When the Chief was growing up, his stories were really rich. When I was growing up, my stories were a little bit inferior, but there were also many thrilling things..."

"We all guessed that you would be one of the protagonists of the next era."

The bearded man's laughter was not pleasant to the ear, but it made people feel strangely heavy and at ease:

"So this is a story about you? I don't know. Maybe I should let you try to solve it yourself..."

"But after thinking about it, I still feel that this is not right."

"After all, I am also the protagonist, and I still don't think it's over for me."

"After all, who says the protagonist has to ride alone into battle, kill the generals and seize the flag?"

"Wait, I'll come as soon as possible tomorrow."

"that's it."
