Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

"My name is Yang Xiao."

"It all started from humble beginnings, from the grass roots."

"Some of you know me through my achievements, and some of you know me through our battles. This is undoubtedly my luck."

The young man stood on the platform, his eyes seemed lazy or careless.

He looked down at the densely packed students below the stage.

"When I was in junior high school, I stayed up late to study and memorize knowledge about Pokémon, while also taking care of my studies. Eventually, I passed the high school entrance exam and got a ticket to the Pokémon interest class at this key high school.

"When I was in high school, I worked hard day and night, and finally got the first place in the class."

"How can I explain all the hardships in the process in just a few words..."

"And now——"

A smile slowly appeared on his face. He reached out and grasped the microphone on the podium. His bright eyes were filled with ambition. "I have achieved the first step that is almost perfect for me."

"Becoming a trainer has changed my life, and you can do the same."

"With hope, you will be invincible!"

A little sunlight came in through the small window on the roof, falling on the boy's upper body, as if covering him with a layer of golden gauze.

The young man is full of vigor and ambition, climbing high and looking far.

offstage.

The freshmen held their heads high and stared blankly at the young man on the stage.

The auditorium, which had been somewhat noisy, suddenly became quiet.

“I don’t want to exaggerate. My success is not entirely due to hard work. Talent is also important...but without hard work, talent is nothing but a tree without roots and duckweed without water.”

“I want to be a roc soaring in the sky, unrestrained and unhindered; I want to be a whale diving thousands of miles deep, without any obstacles or fears—”

"I must climb the highest mountain to see if there are any more mountains above it."

"I'm full of energy and youth, I'm not afraid of anything, I'll just do it!"

Yang Xiao smiled brightly and spoke in a loud voice.

at this moment.

Often, one would feel that the boy was too mature to be his age, but his face showed the arrogance that only belongs to youth:

"Young man is strong-willed and unrestrained, like a tiger with wings spread out to fly in the daytime!"

"If I can do it, who can't?"

"My name is Yang Xiao."

"Promoted to the top of the class, the top of the three middle schools."

The words fell.

Yang Xiao bowed slightly, then turned and left.

There was a moment of absolute silence in the audience.

Everyone's eyes followed the boy's figure until he disappeared.

next second.

The deafening applause resounded throughout the entire auditorium like thunder, as if it was going to blow the roof off.

There was a lot of cheering and excitement.

The whistle cuts through the sky——

"Really..."

Huo Jun leaned against the back wall, his arms folded, his face reminiscing and yet unwilling.

At this moment, the image of another young man from that year rang in his mind.

Equally heroic and equally ambitious.

And now he has become the existing "myth" in the entire China.

At last.

He smiled, as if relieved: "Some people are born...to be the protagonist."

...

Sports room.

The ding-dang sound of the message alert made Yang Xiao feel helpless.

Who posted the video of the speech online?

Although he wanted to open it and take a look, he had to put his phone on silent mode at the moment.

He actually didn't like doing this.

then.

It was because his cell phone was on silent mode that he did not receive the news from the hospital in the first place and missed seeing his grandfather for the last time.

But now we have no choice but to do so.

Because Huo Jun was looking at him expressionlessly.

"…The point of Pokémon battles is a lot of things."

"But I'm telling you clearly now, no matter how you behave in life, when fighting, you must not show your emotions!"

Look back.

Huo Jun looked at the students sitting cross-legged in front of him and continued:

"This is to prevent your opponent from taking advantage of your weakness and giving you enough confidence in your Pokémon."

"Believe me, the perception ability of these little guys is far beyond your imagination..."

Done.

Many people looked down at the Pokémon around them.

The latter also looked up at his trainer.

at this time.

A buzzing sound suddenly sounded in Huo Jun's trouser pocket.

"Tsk."

Huo Jun looked unhappy and took out his cell phone.

Then he raised his eyebrows.

He waved his phone at everyone and said with a smile, "The scores are out."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone instantly perked up, staring intently at the phone in Huo Jun's hand.

There is no other reason.

The so-called "opening the list" refers to the ranking of the competing classes.

This also means that everyone’s subsidies will be in place.

"Chief, Yang Xiao, credits 100."

Huo Jun glanced at his phone and said calmly, "One hundred credits are automatically obtained every week, one set of standard six medicines and one set of regular tree fruits."

“Nothing has changed.”

Zhang Da was a little confused: "It's no different from before."

Yang Xiao didn't say anything, but continued to look at Huo Jun.

The latter paused and continued:

"For all exams, the top scorer will receive double points, and will be given the highest redemption privileges. You can use your points to exchange for various precious Pokémon items, and an additional set of Pokémon enhancement potions will be added every week."

"Ok?"

Zhang Da blinked his eyes: "Enhancement potion?"

boom.

Zheng Xi, who was standing by, slammed his hands on the ground, looked at Huo Jun in disbelief, and shouted, "One set per week?"

"Yes."

Huo Jun glanced at Zheng Xi and said calmly, "Let's open up its exchange conditions."

Zheng Xi clenched his fists fiercely, his face full of excitement.

Then he seemed to remember something and quickly calmed down.

It’s too early for him to be happy. It has nothing to do with me.

"Second place... that's too much trouble. I won't read it."

Huo Jun put away his phone: "I'll send it to the group later, you can take a look for yourselves."

Subsequently.

He continued, "Since we're talking about this, let me just say something... Let's decide on the class leaders. Does anyone want to be the class monitor?"

Everyone, look at me and I'll look at you.

Then they all looked at Yang Xiao in unison.

Seeing this scene, Huo Jun sighed.

I knew it.

After the speech, the freshmen were so excited that they wanted to take over.

On the other hand, the emotions that were hard-earned for the students in the opposing class yesterday were about to vanish into thin air.

Everyone is in a different environment, so the emotions they feel are bound to be different.

and so……

He asked expectantly, "Give credits, does anyone want to compete?"

compete……

Someone curled his lips.

You said it was a competition, so who will compete with Yang Xiao?

me?

"I!"

Zheng Xi gritted his teeth and stood up: "I suggest that the squad leader be handed over to Yang Xiao..."

"sit down!"

Huo Jun covered his head with his hands, his face full of pain.

This by is the most outrageous.

I originally thought that since he had lost to Yang Xiao, he would take up the banner of "resistance" against Yang Xiao, but I didn't expect that he would completely surrender to the enemy.

Looking around, Huo Jun looked unhappy.

Although he originally wanted to give it to Yang Xiao, he didn't want to give it this way.

We are ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?

"Okay, then Yang Xiao will be the monitor."

The applause was quite unanimous this time.

Yang Xiao supported his chin with his hand and smiled slightly.

"teacher."

Someone raised his hand, full of hope: "Then what about other positions..."

"Fuck job."

Huo Jun said expressionlessly: "I'm not in the mood for that. Let me teach you how to control your emotions first."

He reached for his waist and threw it upwards.

boom!

A dark purple, short Pokémon fell to the ground, its sapphire-like eyes looking at the crowd in front of it without any emotion.

Gudong.

Someone swallowed and quietly moved back a little.

This appearance is so "wow".

"It's called the Eye of Enchantment."

Looking at the frightened faces of most people, Huo Jun finally showed a satisfied smile: "Legend has it that people are afraid of its eyes because it can absorb human souls."

"In fact, this is complete nonsense."

“But my own is a little different…”

The voice changed.

Huo Jun suddenly said, "Security officer, turn off the lights."

Doorway.

After receiving the order, the old man decisively turned off the ceiling lights of the gymnasium, then closed the door and left without hesitation.

The entire hall was in pitch darkness.

"its not right."

Someone murmured, "There should be windows on the roof."

"Stop looking for it."

Huo Jun said in a deep voice, "In order to train you, I specially asked Pokémon to paint all the windows with airtight black paint."

"Of all the emotions for a trainer, fear and anger are the most deadly."

"Then let's start by getting used to fear..."

The words fell.

A faint light suddenly appeared in front of someone, and before he could concentrate, a ghost face suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Ahhh-"

He screamed instinctively, hugging his Pokémon tightly.

But the Pokémon's roar was even more fierce than its own.

"Pokémon move 'Scare'."

Huo Jun's voice seemed to come from all directions: "Don't worry, I won't hurt your body...but I will definitely hurt your heart!"

"Jie Jie Jie!"

"Ahhh-"
