Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

"Row 4, seat 02... Hello, is this the seat?"

"Uh... I'm in row 4, seat 4. You should check two seats forward."

"Baby, do we have to come watch the rookie competition? How about I take you to the movies?"

"No, we didn't have this experience in high school. Why don't you come and reminisce about the past?"

"Okay, okay..."

The venue was noisy.

Perhaps because it was the finals, the number of people came in very quickly today and the venue was full in just a few minutes.

The super-large screen on the ceiling facing the audience seats lit up instantly and began to play various advertisements that had been prepared in advance in a loop.

The ultra-clear sound system is dedicated to delivering every word of the advertisement to the audience's ears.

back row.

"We are in row 6, seat 9 or 10. Honey! Come here."

“…I don’t know what’s so interesting about the rookie competition.”

"Don't talk, come and sit down... You don't understand this!"

The woman said angrily: "If we want our child to win at the starting line, we must bring him here to learn some knowledge!"

"Study spirit?"

The man laughed in silence: "Feudal superstition is unacceptable."

"It's not feudal superstition!"

The woman rolled her eyes at her husband and pointed to the large screen on the ceiling of the commentary booth: "Look there."

The latter looked over and said, "Uh... I don't know either of them. I only watch the World Championships."

"Tsk, let me show you the one on the right."

"oh oh."

The man shifted his gaze to the right again and said in confusion: "This person is a little more handsome than the red-haired kid, then what?"

"He is the first one promoted to the third grade of Henghai Middle School this year."

The woman smiled kindly and gently stroked her belly: "The family is not prominent, and the age is young... It would be great if the child could be like this in the future."

The man was slightly startled and scratched his head.

A smile appeared on his face.

"That's it, then let me take a look."

Commentary seat.

The Fat and Thin duo were pointing the webcam they were using for the live broadcast at the two of them, and their computers were ready to switch screens at any time.

"Fat brother."

A staff member nearby lowered his head and ran over, whispering, "The trash talk segment has just been recorded backstage, but this..."

"Oh, it's okay."

The fat man waved his hand and said, "It's just trash talk. It's normal to say anything. Whoever loses will be embarrassed anyway. Just put it on the big screen."

"This……"

The staff was a little hesitant: "Is it possible?"

Before the fat man could speak, the thin man beside him laughed: "Don't worry, young man, your fat brother has been through everything. They won't say bad words, right?"

"That's not the case."

The staff waved their hands repeatedly: "It's just a little...tsk."

"Okay, put it up and let's see, it's okay."

The fat man looked at the computer screen in front of him, and skillfully dragged out a file that was automatically transferred from the folder with the mouse, then double-clicked it to open it.

next second.

The voice coming from the speakers froze the fat man's expression:

"I'm not a loser...woohoo, I will definitely prove myself!"

"Yang Xiao, I will definitely defeat you today... Woohoo, I will definitely win! Definitely! Woohoo..."

"I control my own life."

in the screen.

A red-haired delinquent was crying bitterly at the camera, crying and wailing, "My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of God."

Snapped!

The fat man was quick-witted and pressed the space bar to pause the playback.

What are you doing?

Fortunately, I have set up shortcut keys.

There was some silence in the audience for a moment.

Then everyone's expressions became more and more strange, and the noise became louder and louder, to the point that the thin man couldn't help but cover his ears.

"What do you mean? Are there any melons to eat?"

"Damn, this is Yang Xiao indeed. He's already been forced into this state by his opponent before the game even starts...

"I feel a little sorry for him, anyway."

"These two people know each other. One is promoted to first in the class, and the other is promoted to fourth. I guess we guessed wrong before. The one who loves and hates Yang Xiao is not Jiang Youyi, but this red-haired guy, right?"

"Oh! Don't tell me, there is a great possibility!"

...

“…Definitely! Woohoo…”

Ok?

Looking at the locker room screen in front of him which was suddenly suspended by a technical timeout, Yang Xiao, who was watching the trash talk at the same time, suddenly twitched his mouth.

next to.

Apprentice Xiong was stunned at first, then seemed to think of something, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Huh!"

Xiongxiong knows!

It immediately turned around and looked at its trainer seriously.

"what."

Yang Xiao sighed helplessly and looked at it: "What do you know?"

"Huh!"

The bear disciple moved with his arms folded, a smile on his face.

Of course, that means knowing its tactics.

"Oh."

Yang Xiao was surprised: "Please go ahead, Teacher Xiong."

Cough!

Apprentice Bear pretended to clear his throat and said, "Huha...Huha!"

"Uh-huh."

Yang Xiao rested his chin on his hand and listened very attentively.

Because he was completely subservient to Disciple Bear, he didn't dare to harbor any resistance... Bullshit.

"Of course not."

Yeah……

Apprentice Bear took two steps back, covering his head with his short hands.

His face was full of anxiety.

Damn it, why haven’t I grown a brain yet!

"It's probably because of some unexpected situation..."

Yang Xiao shrugged his shoulders:

"But because of the lack of key information, I don't know the specific reason why his defense was broken... Anyway, I really didn't do anything this time."

This is true.

Because his trash talk consists of only two very simple words.

That is: "accepting disciples".

And his trash talk hasn't come on stage yet.

"Hello, hello, can you hear me, contestant Yang Xiao?"

at this time.

A voice began to come from the speaker in the corner: "If you can hear me, please make a gesture to the camera."

Yang Xiao smiled and made the classic "V" sign.

"Ok."

There was a pause.

The loudspeaker continued: "The competition is about to begin. Please pay attention to your appearance and strictly abide by the rules and regulations of the rookie competition."

hiss.

Hearing this, Yang Xiao's expression looked a little strange.

Could this appearance be a reference to Zheng Xi who was crying her heart out?

The loudspeaker continued: "After the game, everything needs to be kept simple. Please understand."

Yang Xiao nodded.

There is no other way to keep everything simple.

In today's urban atmosphere, the Sixth Arena really doesn't dare to hold a public awards ceremony, so many of the processes originally planned after the finals were cut off.

For example, Director Wang went on stage to present awards and the contestants took photos together.

Yang Xiao had no objection to this.

Because he didn't care about these things.

"But after the competition, you can go to Director Wang's office, where a videographer will take some photos and post them on the official short video account."

Ugh!

Yang Xiao pursed his lips.

The competition hasn't even started yet, how could I know in advance that I would have to go to Director Wang?

"at last."

The loudspeaker finally said: "...I wish you a happy victory."

This is too imprecise.

That’s too much.

Yang Xiao turned his head and sighed.

The competition hasn't even started yet, but the organizers have already started congratulating.

In other words, no one heard it.

Otherwise, no one would believe you if you said there was no shady deal.
