Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

"arrive."

The RV slowly stopped by the roadside.

Pei Zhilang's voice came into the carriage:

"Look outside."

Yang Xiao slowly opened his eyes and stretched his body slightly.

This also woke up his bear disciple who had taken a nap with him.

The latter rubbed his eyes, and inadvertently looked out the window, but his eyes widened instantly.

At first glance, there are no tall buildings.

It's a place similar to a horse farm.

where is this?

With his furry hands resting on the window, the bear apprentice's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

I've never seen Xiongxiong before!

"Lao Pei."

Yang Xiao glanced out the window and jokingly said to the driver's seat, "Did you turn us?"

"Yes, it's 2.5 yuan per pound."

Pei Zhilang responded with a smile:

“Although this place is relatively remote, it is still on the fringe of the city.”

"That's the new training ground I found over there... Did you think it was a tall building before?"

"Although the machines here are not as sophisticated as those in the Alliance, the place is large and simulates a real battle environment."

“There are also professional league referees working here part-time every day, so they also support the match.”

"If nothing else, this place is definitely more realistic than the move simulation room. Want to go in and take a look?"

He lowered his head and glanced at Apprentice Bear's expression.

Yang Xiao smiled and nodded:

"Okay, that's good. Disciple Xiong has never seen such a place before."

Without waiting for Yang Xiao to speak, the moment the car door opened, Apprentice Xiong jumped up and ran out of the car.

"Slower."

Yang Xiao laughed and looked at his disciple Xiong: "Don't be so anxious."

"Shall I help you?"

Tao Wanwan next to her asked tentatively.

"Need not."

Holding the cane, Yang Xiao stood up: "I can do it myself."

"Ok."

At this moment, Yang Xiao got out of the car and Tao Wanwan pouted.

boom.

A chestnut hit her on the head.

"Ouch."

Covering his head.

Tao Wanwan turned around and looked at Tao Tan in frustration and anger: "Brother, why did you hit me?"

"Wake you up."

Tao Tan's eyes were calm, and he continued, "Do you think he will fall in love with you?"

Zhang Da, who hadn't had time to get off the car yet, pursed his lips instantly.

He whispered "Excuse me, excuse me" and quickly got off the car.

"why not?"

Tao Wanwan covered her head in frustration: "Is there something wrong with me?"

"It has nothing to do with these."

Tao Tan frowned and said, "Do you know why I am still single?"

Tao Wanwan muttered quietly, "Isn't it because you can't find it?"

"Me? Can't find it?"

Tao Tan pointed at himself in confusion: "Are you talking about me?"

"Hmm."

Tao Wanwan curled her lips: "Didn't you say that when Dad asked you before?"

"That's certainly an excuse."

Tao Tan laughed angrily.

He continued, "The actual reason is that I have put all my energy into training Pokémon, so I am still single."

"Oh."

Tao Wanwan sat on the chair with her head down: "In the eyes of geniuses like you, is falling in love a waste of time?"

"Everyone has their own aspirations. This is uncertain... But for people like me and Yang Xiao... yes."

Looking at his sister, Tao Tan did not restrain his tone, but said firmly:

"Because there is no doubt about one thing: when you devote yourself to something, as long as everyone has the same talent, you will definitely go further than others, even if it is only one step."

"Yang Xiao and I are both pursuing this step."

"There are Pokémon levels and various competitions in the world, and there are countless dreams in life waiting for people to strive for. Ten years ago, who would have thought that I could become the owner of a Psychic-type gym?"

"But what now?"

Tao Tan spread his hands and smiled brightly:

"Among the White Jade Rank trainers, which one of them who specializes in psychic-type would be scared of me?"

"So, you mean..."

Tao Wanwan took a deep breath and said, "Are these the results you get for giving up love?"

"You still don't understand what I mean."

Looking at his sister who was almost about to cry, Tao Tan opened his mouth, but finally changed his tone:

"Everyone's pursuit is different, and Yang Xiao and I both happen to pursue becoming stronger, so any situation that may hinder this development will be excluded by our instinct."

"People like us try to do the right thing at the right time."

"And falling in love at the beginning stage is undoubtedly unreasonable in our eyes."

"Do you understand it?"

"No."

Twitching her nose, Tao Wanwan stared at her brother with big eyes and said sincerely:

"I didn't understand, but I kind of get what you mean."

"……Fine."

Reaching out and hugging his sister, Tao Tan whispered to comfort her: "Control your emotions, you still have to get off the car soon."

...

"Lao Yang, Lao Yang!"

Yang Xiao stopped and looked at Zhang Da who was jogging towards him.

The latter's face clearly showed that there was something to be desired.

"what happened?"

"Guess what I just heard?"

"Just now? In the car?"

Yang Xiao looked past Zhang Da and into the car.

I saw my brother reaching out to hug his sister.

"Let me tell you, Master Tao said..."

"do not talk."

Yang Xiao seemed to be thinking about something. He covered his mouth with his hand and approached Zhang Da, whispering:

"Master Tao is one of those people with super powers. He can hear you talking."

Done.

Gently patting the confused Zhang Da's shoulder, Yang Xiao limped towards Pei Zhilang in the distance.

If his guess was correct, Tao Tan should have warned his sister.

fair enough.

There is no need to say it a second time.

"What is Lao Tao doing?"

After taking a puzzled look at his RV, Pei Zhilang said to Yang Xiao, "Forget it, I'll take you two in first."

"Okay."

Doorway.

Standing at a place similar to the zoo ticket gate, Pei Zhilang handed the brown memory card to the female staff member in a denim uniform in front of him.

The latter put it close to the card reader and smiled in a standardized way: "Hello, is this Mr. Pei?"

"Yes... Hey, I have a question for you."

"You say."

Pei Zhilang knocked on the wooden counter that was full of wild atmosphere and said:

“If I want to transfer this card to my friend in the future, is that possible?”

"Ah, this..."

The staff member turned to look at Yang Xiao, and then his expression changed slightly.

Yo?

Pei Zhilang raised his eyebrows and looked at Yang Xiao.

Did you recognize this?

Yang Xiao's expression was calm.

Maybe.

After all, the number of fans of the short video platform has inexplicably almost exceeded one million.

This growth rate is the same as if someone bought fans.

"This... OK, that's fine."

The staff member came back to his senses, looking a little surprised: "You can change it, I will help you now."

Pei Zhilang was stunned, then looked at her dimly.

Sister, I'm talking about the future.

From now on (bang the table)!

at this time.

The door next to him suddenly opened, and several figures walked out from the front and back.

"Yang Xiao?"

The voice sounded a little surprised.

Yang Xiao looked over and saw a pretty face with a smile on her face, speaking to him:

"Wow, it's been a while... Will you be training here too?"

Jiang Youyi?

Yang Xiao paused for a moment and nodded gently: "Yes, for now... Are you here too?"

"Yes."

Jiang Youyi put her hands behind her back and walked towards Yang Xiao with a smile, not paying any attention to her companions beside her.

Some of the companions frowned and stood still.

Silently watching her walk towards the boy in the distance.

"elder brother……"

"Shut up."

He said expressionlessly: "Don't play the villain role for me. Youyi and I are not even boyfriend and girlfriend yet."

"Besides, who can't have a few ordinary friends of the opposite sex? Don't embarrass me."

Done.

He turned and walked away.

But she unconsciously turned her head and looked at the boy who was chatting with Jiang Youyi.

Noticing the gaze, Yang Xiao glanced over.

When their eyes met, no one avoided it.

But one side became more solemn.

On the other side…

Yang Xiao yawned and shifted his gaze back.
