Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

This lantern festival in Northern Province has nothing to do with any festival. It is just a custom with a long history that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day.

It is said.

The cause was a severe drought and famine in ancient times, and the people living here suffered from hunger and cold.

Beitu is close to the North Sea, but everyone knew how difficult it was to fish on the sea at that time. Even if you managed to go out to sea in a straw boat, the result would often be the destruction of the boat and the death of people.

at this time.

A star fell from the sky.

The records after that are much more confusing.

Some people say that stars are alive and can make wishes come true, while others say that stars are dead and that people only worship stars as gods when they are desperate.

In short.

Since then, several consecutive heavy rains have hit Northern Province, saving the lives of thousands of families living there.

The Lantern Festival was born.

Every September.

The northern province would always choose a commercial street, hang up lanterns, light yellow silk and blue satin, and have neighbors set up stalls, making it bustling with people coming and going.

"What about you?"

On the phone.

Zhang Da asked curiously, "Do you believe the story about the star?"

Yang Xiao did not hesitate too much: "I believe it."

"what?"

There was some surprise on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Da's body straightened up instantly while lying on the bed. He scratched his head, obviously a little surprised from the bottom of his heart:

"Old Yang, I didn't realize you're quite utopian."

"A star can grant wishes? I don't believe it. Rather than saying that the heavy rain was brought by the stars, it would be more appropriate to say that it was brought by a high-level Pokémon."

"is it?"

Yang Xiao smiled slightly and did not comment.

Of course there are stars that can grant wishes.

"Hey, when will you come back?"

Zhang Da's voice sounded a little bored:

"You'd better come back soon. Without you in this dormitory, the atmosphere here is no different from the North Pole... Zheng Xi always has a stern face, as if someone owes him money."

"Well, tomorrow."

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "I'll take them to the Lantern Festival tonight. Since we're here, let them have some fun."

"Okay, then remember to bring some souvenirs."

hang up the phone.

Yang Xiao raised his head and smiled at the two Pokémon in front of him who were well fed and drunk:

"I knew hamburgers were a delicacy for kids, but I didn't know they would work wonders for you two."

"belch."

Apprentice Bear burped and rubbed his belly, looking very satisfied.

The same is true for the electric monster next to it.

"Let's go."

Yang Xiao smiled and went to the bar to pay, then picked up the two Pokémon in each hand and walked out the door: "Let's go out and play."

The electric monster was still a little shy, but the bear apprentice didn't have so many concerns.

It raised its fist and said excitedly: "Huha!"

set off!

...

night.

Bright lights.

At the lantern festival, you can often see young people wearing ancient costumes, carrying various lanterns and walking in the crowded lantern festival.

Following the trend, Yang Xiao did the same.

But he did not change it himself. Instead, he rented a set of costumes for Ursa and Electric, making the two Pokémon look like Nian dolls, which attracted special attention.

"so cute……"

A couple pointed at the bear apprentice riding on Yang Xiao's neck and said, "What kind of Pokémon is this? When we have money in the future, we will raise one."

"Good good."

Her boyfriend looked at her lovingly and said, "When my work gets on track, I will definitely raise one for you..."

Yang Xiao smiled and passed by them.

There are many stalls at the Lantern Festival, most of which sell small items such as handicrafts, but there are very few stalls selling Pokémon props.

Even if there is.

Not to mention whether it is cost-effective, the price alone is quite expensive.

For example, there is this crystal-like object on the stall in front of you.

"This is the latest discovery from a foreign alliance, and it has the potential to surpass the purest crystal! Don't miss it if you pass by!"

The vendor was shouting loudly and earnestly, while looking carefully with his small eyes at the young man squatting on the ground in front of him, looking at these crystals with great interest.

Having two Pokémon at this age... he must be rich!

After shouting a few words, he asked the boy with a warm smile: "Are you interested? The price is affordable, and I will never cheat you."

Yang Xiao glanced at him and pushed up the sunglasses that he had prepared long ago on his nose: "Can I pick it up and take a look?"

"of course."

The vendors all had smiling faces:

"You can look at it as you like. I won't frame you. This is really the latest discovery of a foreign alliance. You can't find it anywhere in China! The reason I was able to get it is because my uncle's aunt's child's classmate is abroad..."

Yang Xiao smiled reservedly and nodded politely.

The Eye of Truth is activated!

[General Taijing Fragment: formed by Taijing gem crystals, contains some general attribute energy, energy filling degree 1%]

Yang Xiao was not unfamiliar with this thing.

Because this was exactly the latest gameplay that appeared in the last Pokémon game he came into contact with before coming to this world.

Through Taicrystallization, the attributes of Pokémon can be modified during battle.

This gameplay is quite remarkable, and it has given many Pokémon a second lease of life.

The vendor did not lie.

domestic.

So far, there has been no news on the Internet about the discovery of Taijing fragments. Most of this news comes from abroad, such as the Bullfighting League or the Beaver League.

"How do you see...?"

The vendors rubbed their hands together in anticipation.

These rich and young kids are the easiest to deceive.

Because people of this age are more concerned about their reputation and have money in their pockets, as long as you can quote a price that they can barely accept, they will usually pay for it out of face.

"good."

Yang Xiao smiled brightly.

"oops……"

The vendor was overjoyed and was about to say a few more words when he suddenly heard the young man say with a smile: "Boss..."

The vendor's heart skipped a beat, and he had an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

"…I'm a student, can you give me a ride?"

Yang Xiao's eyes were sincere: "Good people will be rewarded."

The vendor's smile gradually stiffened and finally became expressionless.

No.

Not to mention students, even animals are not allowed.

"Ok."

Yang Xiao sighed with a little regret: "Then you name a price, I'll listen to it."

The vendor took two deep breaths and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a figure appear behind the boy, followed by a voice:

"Yang Xiao, this thing is real, but it's useless."

"Tsk."

The vendor looked a little indignant: "Who are you?"

Yang Xiao turned his head and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Chen Yuan?"

"It's me, long time no see."

Chen Yuan said calmly, "When I saw the bear disciple riding on your neck, I guessed it was you... Why did you come to the North?"

"Come and pick your second Pokémon."

Yang Xiao lifted the electric monster in his arms slightly.

"So fast?"

Chen Yuan frowned: "I'm not surprised that you are at the elite level, but can you raise two Pokémon?"

"of course."

Yang Xiao was very frank: "During this period of time, I have experienced more things and gained more."

"What a coincidence."

Chen Yuan's eyes sparkled: "Me too."

When he looked at Yang Xiao, his eyes were filled with naked fighting spirit.

"Alas!"

The vendor waved his right hand: "Are you going to buy it or not? If not, don't squat here."

"Make an offer, I'm listening."

The vendor's eyes rolled and he spread his fingers: "Fifty thousand."

"Row."

Yang Xiao stood up, stretched his legs, and prepared to leave.

"what?"

The vendor scratched his head.

"Take a rest, sir."

Yang Xiao smiled and waved his hand: "I've told you everything. I'll just listen to the price. You're busy."
