Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

Severe earthquakes come and go quickly.

In less than ten seconds, the shaking subsided and ended.

Yang Xiao lay on the ground, feeling the pain in his back from hitting the ground. His eyes returned to normal and he looked at the dark metal above his head with a hint of relief.

If it is under normal circumstances.

Hiding in the basement when an earthquake strikes will cause you to feel far more intense shocks than being on the ground, and there is a high probability that you will die.

But due to the toughness of [Dark Gold], there was not even any sign of distortion or damage around here.

This also reminded Yang Xiao of the sunken [Dark Gold] before.

"call."

Pei Zhilang held his knees with both hands, and a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Although he did not lie on the ground like Yang Xiao, the feeling of being pressed against the wall and repeatedly colliding with the wall was not very comfortable.

“This earthquake…”

Pei Zhilang's expression gradually became serious.

Yang Xiao showed a slightly puzzled expression in response to this truncated remark, and stood up by supporting himself on the ground and holding onto the wall:

"What happened to the earthquake?"

"……nothing."

Pei Zhilang's expression returned to normal. He looked at Yang Xiao and shook his head gently: "It's okay... I'm here, don't worry."

"Ah."

Yang Xiao lowered his head in thought.

But after Pei Zhilang looked away, Yang Xiao quickly recalled the information he had just seen through the Eye of Truth.

[Feeling a large amount of ground energy]

[Analysis in progress...Analysis completed]

[Earthquake: Using special impact to induce violent vibrations, suspected to be caused by the release of a large number of White Jade Pokémon]

Needless to say.

This earthquake was man-made.

Although he didn't know who did it, Yang Xiao always felt that it was related to this place.

"What are you going to do if you can't get out?"

Rubbing his arm, Pei Zhilang continued to focus his eyes on Yang Xiao and said:

"Should we risk going forward? Or should we stay somewhere for a while and wait for this to be over?"

"I do not know."

Noticing Pei Zhilang's gaze fixed on his changing expression, Yang Xiao hesitated and shook his head gently: "My thoughts are very confused right now...very confused."

"……Yeah?"

"Of course."

Yang Xiao looked directly into Pei Zhilang's eyes and said with a wry smile:

"I'm just a high school student. Can you still expect me to figure everything out in this situation?"

"……Too."

From Pei Zhilang's observation, Yang Xiao's pretended calm expression revealed anxiety and worry that he could hardly hide.

From time to time, a light of fear flashed in the boy's eyes.

The Poké Ball that he was holding tightly in his hand and had not yet put back on the trainer's belt, and his slightly tense body, naturally could not escape Pei Zhilang's eyes.

That's right.

Pei Zhilang nodded slowly, this was right.

No matter how smart or talented a high school student is, he is just a high school student.

It is impossible not to feel a little nervous and scared after seeing the corpse.

But it is impossible for him to panic and lose his mind, because this is not in line with Yang Xiao's personality.

So now his performance is just right in Pei Zhilang's eyes.

It perfectly fits his impression of Yang Xiao.

As for the possibility that this is a disguise by the other party?

Pei Zhilang spread his hands, smiled and shook his head: Impossible.

So, should we take him with us?

Pei Zhilang was silent for a while, then he said:

"Why don't I give you two options, but you have to think about it carefully before making a decision."

The Oscar-winning actor is possessed again.

Yang Xiao seemed to be about to speak, but after opening his mouth he paused before saying, "...you go."

"First, follow me inside until the problem is solved."

Pei Zhilang glanced at the dark environment ahead and said:

"Now don't think about going out through the stairs. That's impossible."

"Even if you are lucky enough to defeat those two criminals, your Pokémon will not be able to leave the destroyed stairs if I can't help you."

"Because they didn't intend to return the same way, nor did they want to let anyone in for no reason. I thought that the reason why no one had come from the ground until now was because they were rescuing people, but now...

He shook his head and said, "Maybe I think too much, but I regard you as a friend, so I tell you from the bottom of my heart: don't go there."

"Ugh."

really.

Although I don’t understand what Pei Zhilang meant in the end.

But when Yang Xiao learned that there was someone at the door and Pei Zhilang was unable to help him leave, he had already given up the idea of ​​taking the stairs.

Since he had guessed the Desperado before, he might have brought with him a Psychic-type Pokémon that could master "Teleportation".

Naturally, he also guessed that the passage might have been blocked.

Not to mention the method of leaving someone to guard the door.

just.

Yang Xiao had no choice but to go this way before.

He looked at Pei Zhilang and said, "You continue."

"second."

Pei Zhilang calmly stretched out his finger, showing a look that Yang Xiao had never seen before: "That is, find a place to hide."

Yang Xiao did not hesitate, but said directly: "Choose one, I will go with you."

"Don't you think about it?"

"I can't think about it, and I can't think about it."

Yang Xiao sighed: "If I was going to sit and wait for death, I wouldn't have the courage to bypass those corpses and take the risk to move here."

"……Too."

Pei Zhilang nodded silently: "No, you are not afraid anymore?"

"...I was afraid, but I'm much better now. I was a little timid before, but now I see you, right?"

Yang Xiao looked at him with great emotion, and said sincerely: "It has always been Pei Qing who has supported me."

"Get it."

Pei Zhilang waved his hand in disdain: "You're just doing this useless stuff. Do you think I haven't read the novel? Can you leave now?"

He raised his head and looked at Yang Xiao's left foot: "Looking at your condition, do you need me to help you?"

"Need not."

Yang Xiao gritted his teeth and moved his ankles: "I can do it myself... If not, there is still the marsupial dragon."

"Okay, let's go."

Pei Zhilang turned and headed back the way Yang Xiao came and said, "Although they won't be able to find any clues for a while, we can't waste any more time."

...

Behind the blown-up stairs, two figures were hiding in the shadows.

One looked at the stairs that were completely blocked, and the other looked at the passage leading here.

Both of them were holding guns, and neither of them showed any intention of slacking off.

Beside them, a total of four Pokémon were silently accompanying their trainers, surrounding them vigilantly.

I don’t know how long it took.

One of them suddenly said, "Do you think the captain has found them?"

"...I don't know."

The other man looked straight ahead and said slowly, "Our mission is just to keep an eye on this place, and leave the rest to them."

"…I know, I just feel like something is wrong."

"Are you afraid?"

"Be afraid, fart!"

The man secretly spat and continued, "I always feel that the person who gave us the news doesn't seem like a good person."

"We're not good people either... You don't have to worry about him."

Another figure said calmly: "The captain has his own arrangements, we just need to follow his orders."

The man curled his lips and stopped talking.

at this time.

A sudden voice suddenly sounded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"who!"

The two of them were ejected from their positions almost at the same time.

At the same time, he raised his gun and decisively shot towards the place where the people were talking.

The bullets crackled into the darkness, but there was no echo.

While shooting, they shouted to their Pokémon:

"Forkbat, use 'Ultrasound' to find its location. Slime, use 'Poison Gas' directly!"

"Ariados, spit silk over there; double-bomb gas, get close and burn everything together!"

The two cooperated tacitly.

But after shouting for a while, both of them were already stretched to their limits.

Anyone who can appear without going through the stairs must be someone of the same level as the captain, so they can only hope that this set of methods will work.

The combination of "gas" and "burn everything down" makes the explosion even more violent.

The loud blast created a huge air wave that blew the two men backwards, and they both flew backwards and slid on the ground.

As he felt dizzy, a stream of blood gushed out of his mouth.

"Dead... dead?"

The calm desperado forced himself to stand up and looked towards the center of the explosion. At first glance, he could see four Pokémon that were affected by the blast and were on the verge of death.

But his gaze did not linger on them, but looked further away.

But there was no one there.

His breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Alakazam, telekinesis."

really!

The voice came from behind the two of them again.

The man turned his head, his eyes bloodshot:

They saw a man in a suit approaching them from the shadows, emanating lavender psychic energy from his body.

His expression was extremely calm, and his eyes swept across the broken gas masks on their faces.

Behind the man in the suit, the yellow humanoid Pokémon floating in the air raised the soup spoon and shook it gently.

next second.

Intense pressure squeezed their bodies from all sides. The pain flashed by in an instant, and then they completely lost consciousness.

Throwing the two twisted bodies aside.

Alakazam released his telekinesis, tilted the spoon to point at the dying Pokémon, and turned to look at his trainer.

"no point."

The man in the suit glanced at them and said calmly, "Save your energy for later... We have to complete the mission."

at the same time.

The psychic energy responsible for blocking the explosion sound from all directions was also withdrawn, and the man in the suit moved forward calmly.

——Patta, pat.

Only the sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground echoes here.
