Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

Putting the towel around his neck, Yang Xiao silently looked at the mirror hanging on the wall in the bathroom.

The water drops slid down the hair.

Just last night, he had a good dream after a long time.

I looked in the mirror for a long time.

Yang Xiao picked up his crutches, turned around and left the bathroom.

in the kitchen.

The marsupial dragon was wearing a pink apron with a lot of baby doll patterns printed on it, and was slowly observing the boiling milk in the pot.

Next to it are four porcelain bowls of different sizes.

On the dining table were toasted bread slices and fresh jams of different flavors in glass bottles.

All made by Bag Dragon.

Bread, milk, jam.

This is today’s breakfast for Yang Xiao’s family of four.

The baby Marsupialos sat obediently on the chair, not moving at all, only following the movements of its mother's body with its round eyes.

Noticing Yang Xiao's gaze, it tilted its head with curved eyes.

"Huh!"

"morning."

A smile appeared on Yang Xiao's face.

The bear apprentice was sitting next to the marsupial cub.

But it was now concentrating on brushing honey and jam on the bread slices repeatedly, and did not notice Yang Xiao's existence at all.

Yang Xiao smiled.

It seems.

Even in the world of Pokémon, even the legendary Pokémon cannot escape the instincts that seem to be locked in their "genes".

The unsolved mystery of bears and honey.

It was not until Yang Xiao sat opposite it that the bear disciple managed to spread jam on the bread in front of him.

Its expression also changed from serious to excited.

Yang Xiao even saw shining stars in its dark eyes.

"All right?"

"Huh!"

The bear apprentice nodded happily and showed his work to the trainer.

A slice of bread brushed with honey jam half a centimeter thick.

"Okay, pretty good."

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Eat it with confidence, as long as you don't feel choked..."

The words were not finished.

Suddenly the phone rang in the bedroom.

"Snort!"

The bag dragon poured the milk into the bowl and made a sound without looking back.

The baby marsupial dragon nodded repeatedly and jumped off the chair.

He walked towards Yang Xiao's bedroom with his short legs.

After a while, he ran out again and handed the phone to Yang Xiao.

"Thank you."

After touching the head of the marsupial dragon cub, Yang Xiao focused his attention on the mobile phone screen.

This is……

Director Wang?

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and then answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Yang Xiao?"

"It's me, Director Wang."

"Sorry to call you so early."

"……fine."

He took the porcelain bowl filled with milk handed to him by the bag dragon.

Looking up at the clock on the wall which was almost six o'clock, Yang Xiao said calmly:

"You're young, so it's normal to be a little early."

Hear the words.

Director Wang on the other end of the phone sighed.

then……

He slowly turned his head and looked towards his son's room.

Even through a door, Director Wang could hear his son's energetic snoring.

Then he sighed again: "Alas."

"…Did something happen?"

"Ah, no, no."

Noticing his own sigh coming through his phone, Director Wang laughed, trying to hide his embarrassment: "It's just a few sighs..."

Yang Xiao took a sip of milk and said, "I understand."

As a normal person.

Of course he wouldn't say that he had also heard the loud and rhythmic snoring just now.

People still need to have some emotional intelligence.

The two chatted for a while and then got down to business.

"Nine days later, three matches in three consecutive days?"

"Yes."

After a pause, Director Wang continued on the phone:

"This is the notice given to us by the alliance."

"They said the atmosphere among the people in the city was too depressing. Let's continue the competition and see if there's any way to attract everyone's attention."

Yang Xiao did not answer immediately.

Instead, he stood up, staggered back to the room, and looked at the calendar on the wall.

Let me check the date...

Fortunately, there was enough time.

then.

Yang Xiao said slowly to the phone:

"Okay, thank you Director Wang for reminding me...see you then?"

"Yeah, see you then."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiao raised his arm.

He ran his finger across the calendar, stopping at the date nine days later, and muttered:

"The match day is Thursday. If we have three matches in three days... the matches will end on Saturday."

then.

His fingers slid back again:

"We can have a day off on Sunday, and then go back to school on Monday."

After tapping the calendar, Yang Xiao took half a step back.

A smile slowly appeared on his face.

This call is good news.

Because Yang Xiao was about to give up the competition.

As a trainer, he was very aware of his bear apprentice's current situation.

After receiving the blessing of the Silver Companion, the energy level and physical fitness of the bear apprentice have been infinitely close to the limit level of the Sandalwood-level Pokémon.

One can even say:

It is now much better than some Pokémon that have just entered the Iron tier.

The mysterious Blim named Rutao Wanwan.

In this situation, he is still stuck at the Sandalwood level, which undoubtedly slows down the growth of Apprentice Bear.

The reason why Yang Xiao hesitated was because of the winning prize of the rookie competition.

That is the compulsory exerciser.

The main reason is that it has the effect of slightly increasing the growth rate of Pokémon through training.

For Pokémon with better talents, it naturally has more room for improvement.

This is also what Chen Yuan, a high school student from Northern Turkestan Province, was doing when the top 16 entered the quarterfinals.

Yang Xiao clearly remembered that he had used the Eye of Truth to clearly see the four words "interrupted promotion" on the entry of that Scyther.

The other party must have done this with the idea of ​​winning the championship and taking away the compulsory training device.

It’s a pity that he met Yang Xiao.

His thoughts turned back, Yang Xiao returned to the living room.

see him.

The bag dragon waved repeatedly, reminding him that the milk was getting cold.

"fine."

Yang Xiao smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter if it's cold. I don't care about that."

But before he could sit down, there was another knock on the door.

"Lao Yang, I'm here, open the door."

Yang Xiao looked up at the clock again.

You read that right, it’s not even six o’clock yet.

Zhang Da has such a loud voice that I’m afraid even people upstairs can hear him.

"Stop shouting. I'm afraid the neighbor hasn't woken up yet."

Yang Xiao raised his voice and shouted, then drank the milk in front of him, stood up and moved towards the door.

open the door.

It was indeed Zhang Da with an excited look on his face.

"I'm here, Lao Yang."

"Come early."

Yang Xiao looked at Zhang Da dimly and said, "It's only what time now. I haven't even found a place to train yet."

"Oh, don't worry, don't worry."

Zhang Da laughed loudly, walked around Yang Xiao and headed towards the living room.

He greeted the marsupial dragon with a smile.

He went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and then naturally sat in Yang Xiao's seat.

He picked up the slice of bread with one hand and reached for the honey jam in front of him with the other.

"Huh!"

Apprentice Bear snatched the glass bottle of honey jam and held it in his arms.

Then he shook his head solemnly at Zhang Da.

Trust me.

This won’t work, it doesn’t taste good.

All buddies.

Come on, I'll eat it for you.
