Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

After an abstract ringing sound, the phone was connected again.

"Reached?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll pick you up now."

hang up the phone.

Glancing at the guards who were smiling at him inexplicably in the distance, Yang Xiao did not hesitate too much, but returned the smile.

But his hand in his pocket was gently rubbing the white card.

Combined with the man's brief moment of restraint in the car before...

Is it because of this thing?

Yang Xiao lowered his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

In just over thirty seconds, the door of the cultivation palace was pushed open.

A woman in a white coat and wavy hair looked out and saw the curly-haired boy standing there obediently at first sight.

"Hello there!"

The voice was cold and the person had no expression.

His face was full of fatigue after high-pressure work.

Yang Xiao looked at her twice, put on a shy expression, and slowly approached her.

The woman held out her hand first: "My name is Cheng Di, the current director of the Genetic Analysis Department of the Cultivation Palace, and also your guide today."

"Hello."

Yang Xiao shook hands and smiled.

"Let's go."

The woman tilted her head towards the door. "Have you eaten yet? Do you need me to take you out for dinner first?"

"Ate."

Yang Xiao scratched his head, the shyness on his face was particularly obvious: "If you haven't eaten, I can accompany you."

"Need not."

The woman looked at him and shook her head gently: "...Then I'll take you around the ecological zone first and see which Pokémon you like."

"it is good."

Yang Xiao nodded repeatedly, picked up his bear apprentice on the ground, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

now.

He has transformed into a pure and innocent tenor.

The woman looked at him twice more, then turned and led the way.

This doesn't seem to match what Huo Jun said. Anyone looking at the boy in front of him can see that he is a young man who loves Pokémon.

Huo Jun, ah, Huo Jun.

When you were a child, you were "jealous" of Qin Zhao and didn't play with him.

Is he still "jealous" of kids who had similar growing experiences as him?

The woman sighed, feeling quite helpless.

...

If the decoration outside the palace is a symbol of national technology, it is rather cold.

The palace seemed much warmer.

Everywhere you can see technicians chatting with each other over a cup of coffee, and breeders walking around with young Pokémon in their arms.

Occasionally, the Pokémon in their arms would cry.

At this time.

The caregivers will calmly start to cradle the babies, coaxing them, who have just come into the world, back to sleep.

Yang Xiao followed Cheng Di and watched everything curiously.

The same is true for the bear disciple in his arms.

It stared blankly at the surrounding environment, its right hand tightly grasping Yang Xiao's collar.

This was the first time I had seen a large number of my kind and I was instinctively cautious.

Yang Xiao looked down at it and whispered, "It's okay, these are babies younger than you."

"You have trained this bear apprentice well."

The woman turned half her body, her eyes fixed on the bear apprentice: "I can tell that it has a strong physique and abundant energy without any professional testing."

"No wonder Huo Jun came to your place to be a teacher. I hope you can help him realize his ambition."

ambition?

Yang Xiao kept these two words in his heart without making a sound, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your compliment, we will continue to work hard."

"Ah."

The woman withdrew her gaze and stopped at the corner.

She pointed to the gate on the left: "Behind the gate is the Pokémon Ecological Park for young Pokémon. We have divided it into sections with different attributes."

Then he pointed to the right and said, "Behind this gate is the elf egg breeding room, which is in the greenhouse."

"Choose, left or right."

Yang Xiao didn't hesitate at all and said immediately: "I choose the left side."

"Oh?"

The woman put her hands in her pockets and looked at him expressionlessly: "You know that Pokémon eggs may hatch Pokémon with higher talents?"

"know."

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "But I don't want to waste too much time, Director Cheng..."

"Call me Sister Cheng."

"Sister Cheng."

Yang Xiao paused and continued, "Waiting for Pokémon eggs to hatch and grow takes too much time. Wouldn't it be better if we use this time to train young Pokémon?"

The woman did not answer, but looked at him silently.

Count your breaths.

She suddenly said, "You really look like a person."

Yang Xiao was slightly stunned.

"fine."

The woman shook her head, put her right hand on her forehead, and then walked to the left first, and put her hand on the machine in front of the gate: "I am Cheng Di."

"Beep--"

"Voice recognition in progress..."

"Fingerprint identification in progress..."

"Facial recognition in progress..."

"Retina recognition..."

"Gate 0-03 has been opened for you."

puff-

A large amount of steam rushed out from the gaps on both sides, as if someone had placed a large amount of dry ice here.

The heavy gate slowly rose.

What comes into view is a passage that seems to have no end. There is transparent glass on both sides, allowing people in the passage to clearly see everything outside the glass.

The woman moved forward while explaining, "In the Fire Ecological Park, the Pokémon that is most suitable for you is the starter Pokémon exclusive to the Shenzhou region - Charmander."

Behind the glass.

A large number of little fire dragons were chasing each other and having a lot of fun, with the flames on their tails burning vigorously.

As if noticing the sight, a little fire dragon stopped and looked at Yang Xiao with its head tilted.

Yang Xiao smiled slightly, glanced cautiously at the woman in front of him, then turned his head and looked at the little fire dragons.

The talent is okay.

"Besides that, there are some other fire-type families from other alliances here, with similar qualifications... If you are interested, let me know, if not, we can continue to look down."

"Ok."

"correct."

Cheng Di suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "If your budget is not enough, the Cultivation Palace can provide installments or loans... This is not common, but you can."

"This is Huo Jun's proposal, and I agree now."

Yang Xiao paused for a moment and said sincerely: "Thank you, and thank you Teacher Huo."

"Well, let's continue."

...

"In the Ghost Ecological Park, there is a 'Candlelight Spirit' in good condition. It was just hatched last month. It is estimated that its parents in the secret realm should be around the White Jade level."

...

"If you have considered the general type, then the best one is Eevee, because this place sells energy stones and special items needed for promotion to Grass Ice."

...

"The number of dragons is relatively small. Apart from the 'Ultrasonic Larva', the only types currently on sale are the Mini Dragon and the Round Land Shark."

"But the price is very high. Even if I give you a white card discount, the price won't be less than seven figures. Consider it for yourself... Continue? Okay, then let's take a look at the next step."

...

"In the evil category, there is a 'Black Eyed Crocodile' with the trait 'Overconfidence'. As long as you can accept its second stage evolution at the end of the fine iron level, it is still very good."

...

"As for here..."

Looking at the glass in front of her with the electrical logo on it, the woman sighed as if she remembered something.

"Ok?"

Yang Xiao took two steps forward, retracted his gaze from the glass, and looked at Cheng Di with some concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? I have some medicine for you."

"No."

Cheng Di leaned against the glass and said, "The Pokémon here are a bit weird. I don't really recommend you consider this place."

"what happened?"

Yang Xiao blinked and said bluntly: "Could it be that the Pokémon here are not very good?"

"That's not the case, but it's... a little strange."

Cheng Di pursed her lips, held her forehead and smiled bitterly.

It was the first time she showed an emotional expression in front of Yang Xiao.

This also made Yang Xiao a little curious.

at this time.

He seemed to be attracted by something, his eyes passed over the woman's body and stared closely at the glass behind her.

"……Well."

Cheng Di hesitated for a while.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard the curly-haired boy in front of her suddenly interrupt her and said faintly:

"I think I've seen that unique Pokémon you mentioned."

"is it?"

This time it was Cheng Di's turn to be surprised: "That's pretty lucky, it usually doesn't like to appear in front of the glass."

"Yeah...I think so too."

Yang Xiao's expression was inexplicably strange.

He pointed at the glass and said calmly:

"It doesn't just dislike being in front of the glass. I think... it doesn't even like this place."

"Because it's trying to escape prison right now."
