Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

In the days that followed, Yang Xiao's daily activity time was relatively fixed.

Get up at six in the morning, wash up and have breakfast.

I went downstairs and took a taxi at 6:40, and arrived at the Territory Training Center at around 8:00, where I met Zhang Da and Tao Wanwan who were yawning.

After simply assigning the training content to Apprentice Bear, Yang Xiao would no longer care about it.

After all, Bear Apprentice is different from other Pokémon.

Even if he wasn't watching it, Apprentice Bear's character wouldn't allow it to be lazy.

Yang Xiao was completely relieved about it.

Therefore, the focus of his training was basically on Zhang Da's "Three Treasures" Dalubi, whose personality had changed slightly, and Tao Wanwan's Mibrim, who had been promoted to the Elite Iron level.

After all, one received the money and the other was his best friend.

We still have to do our work seriously.

I went out for a meal at noon. There was a restaurant right opposite the Territory Training Center. The food was okay, at least worth the price.

After lunch, continue exercising.

However, the Pokémon no longer repeated the physical training in the morning, but went to the double gravity room and rapid reaction room for more sophisticated training.

In the middle there is also the process of training Pokémon moves.

I repeat this until 6pm, then go home, have dinner, write a training plan for the next day, and go to bed before 10pm.

This time.

Yang Xiao would meet Jiang Youyi and the people around her at the training center almost every day.

Among them, the young man named "Lin Cong" is a prominent representative, because he often casts a wary look at Yang Xiao.

That's enough, buddy.

Are you protecting the food here?

Jiang Youyi's attitude towards Yang Xiao remains the same as always.

It seemed that he did not have any emotional change at all after his disciple Bear's punch knocked Yaya flying.

One day later, she came to tell Yang Xiao what the doctor said to her after she took Yaya to the hospital for a checkup:

"It's not a big problem, it's just that I may be a little reluctant about physical contact between Pokémon recently."

The vivid description is complete.

Jiang Youyi put her hands on her waist and said with regret:

"From that day on, Round Land Shark suddenly lost Yaya's love. Whenever he made physical contact with her, she would be attacked from behind... You have to compensate me for Yaya who got along so well with Round Land Shark!"

Tao Wanwan was smiling at first, but then her expression became increasingly strange.

Ugh?

Why do I have a sense of déjà vu when hearing this?

"Just hit it a few more times."

Yang Xiao said calmly:

"The best way to conquer fear is to face it head-on. Look at the little Miblim in Tao Wanwan's arms... It was very afraid of the bear disciple because of some circumstances."

"Now, it's not afraid anymore?"

"afraid."

Yang Xiao continued:

"But I'm not that scared anymore, because the two Pokémon are gradually getting familiar with each other, and your Fang's situation has improved."

"Because it's not afraid of physical contact, but simply because the bear apprentice hurt it, it instinctively refuses to have physical contact with Pokémon, and is afraid to experience it again."

"Yes."

Jiang Youyi looked at Yang Xiao with a smile: "The doctor said the same thing."

Yang Xiao smiled slightly: "So my suggestion is... to increase the dosage."

"…How do you enlarge it?"

"It's simple. Take a million-ton punch every day and you will be back to normal, but it will cost you something."

"cost?"

Jiang Youyi rolled her eyes at him: "Is that so? Let me think about it."

"Yeah, think about it carefully."

Yang Xiao looked calm and said seriously, "One hundred per session. Once the money is paid, I will start fighting immediately. It's all guaranteed."

Behind Jiang Youyi.

Lin Cong gave up for the ninth time and tried to poke Yang Xiao to death with his eyes.

He found that his reputation didn't seem to be very useful, because the love rival in front of him didn't pay any attention to him at all.

Say something.

Although he doesn't like being flattered, he hates being ignored even more, especially by his "rival in love".

This only made him feel more upset.

then.

Every day his mood fluctuates between happy and unhappy.

It feels good to be with Youyi.

The one who stayed with Youyi was Yang Xiao, who was unhappy.

It feels good to talk to Youyi.

The one who was talking to Youyi was Yang Xiao, who was unhappy.

therefore.

Every day when he returned home, he would crawl on his bed in the dark for two hours to calm his ups and downs of mood.

...

Over and over again, day after day.

After getting off the taxi, Yang Xiao looked at the Sixth Arena, where the number of people was much less than before, and sighed softly.

no way.

The current decline cannot be remedied by human power.

The day before yesterday.

The competition in the Sixth Arena officially resumed, but the popularity was not as high as before.

Even though the game had been preheated on the Internet in advance and the ticket prices had been lowered, the response was still mediocre.

The shadow cast by the collapse of the Alliance Center and the earthquake has never left the city.

That is to say, the situation was better during Yang Xiao's competition.

In the other few sessions, the seats were barely full.

Faced with this situation, Director Wang was also helpless.

"Have no idea."

He wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue and threw the watermelon rind into the trash can:

"Everyone is immersed in the atmosphere of mourning now. No one is talking about this competition. There are even marketing accounts on the Internet criticizing us."

"It's just a random video clip with an audio clip of a five-star general, but netizens take it as a real thing."

“Normal.”

After swallowing the watermelon in his mouth, Yang Xiao held the watermelon and continued:

"Because when you called me, I didn't really understand why the competition had to be held now."

"Have no idea."

Director Wang stood up and patted his stomach:

"It's God's will. After all, we are just workers. We don't have much autonomy. We are all pushed out and forced to work. We just have to endure it... Have another piece."

"I won't eat it anymore. Give it to my apprentice bear."

Hear your own name.

The stuffed bear, whose entire face was buried in half a watermelon, suddenly raised its head.

Revealing the bright red cheeks stained by juice, and a few black watermelon seeds stuck on the face.

"Haha, just eat it all, don't waste it."

Reaching out and pushing the remaining cut watermelon towards Apprentice Xiong, Director Wang glanced at Yang Xiao's crutches and asked, "Are you okay with your foot injury?"

"It's okay. I'm almost healed. I'm just being safe."

Yang Xiao replied naturally, "I guess after today's finals, I can put it on a certain fish and sell it in the city without free shipping."

"Hahaha, you really know how to live."

Director Wang wiped his hands and said with a smile:

"During the past two days of competition, I saw that you played very quickly."

"Although it's not as popular in real life as it was a while ago, the response to the slices on the Internet is still good. Has Apprentice Xiong made progress again?"

"Ah."

Patting his apprentice Xiong on the head, Yang Xiao said, "After the finals are over today, we will prepare to advance to the elite level."

"Ouch."

Director Wang looked at his apprentice Xiong who was concentrating on eating and said, "I didn't realize you were so stylish, haha."

"to be honest."

Yang Xiao seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed out loud:

"I suddenly felt like we were conspiring, with the organizers of the competition chatting with the finalists before the final."

"Hey, what's this?"

Director Wang waved his hand and said, "If you really did something, it would be fine, but we didn't do anything. It was all because of your strength that we won. You are so fair and aboveboard, what should I be afraid of?"

"The only thing I'm afraid of is that the other party will lose too quickly and the audience won't be satisfied."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about your short video account."

"Xiao Yang, you have to publish some works in the future, and you have to run them. It would be a pity if you don't run them."

"You have almost a million followers on your account, but you've only posted one video. This is quite rare on the Internet."

"In the future, I can start live broadcasting, publish my works, and take on some advertising..."

in front of you.

Director Wang never tires of telling Yang Xiao all kinds of secrets.

next to.

Apprentice Bear was patting his belly and burping.

distance.

The morning sun is blazing, shining brightly on the doors and windows.

Yang Xiao leaned back on the sofa, his smile gradually growing brighter.

The weather is really nice today.

It's suitable for me to win a small championship.
