Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

"Liu Feng, Dai Zinian."

"To!"

"You two, go to the mountaineering shopping area and buy the personal equipment we need. Here are everyone's clothing and shoe sizes that I collected when I came here. Thank you for your hard work... Tao Wanwan, Zheng Xi."

"arrive."

Tao Wanwan took a step forward, looking full of energy.

Zheng Xi put his hands in his pockets, and it seemed that only Yang Xiao was in his sight. He ignored Zhang Da who was giving orders.

"Tsk."

Zhang Da frowned.

Are you gay? Why are you always staring at my brother?

"You two, go buy some rations and emergency supplies, such as nutrition bars, band-aids, salt, and so on. Is that okay?"

"No problem! But will our training camp really be held on the mountain?"

Tao Wanwan raised her hand obediently and cutely, but her passionate gaze kept falling on Yang Xiao who was typing on his mobile phone.

Yang Xiao didn't look up and replied calmly: "This is just in case."

"Roger that!"

Tao Wanwan nodded cautiously.

"Zheng Xi, what about you?"

"Humph."

Zheng Xi glanced at Zhang Da and put his two fingers together: "My uncle taught me a lot about the necessary equipment for adventure. For me, it's completely easy."

Zhang Da sneered: "You'd better do this, you two go ahead."

"Bye, Yang Xiao!"

Even though they were only separated for a dozen minutes, Tao Wanwan was still reluctant to say goodbye to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao raised his head, looked at Tao Wanwan for a few seconds, and smiled: "Goodbye."

Wait for the two of them to leave.

Zhang Da had a headache looking at the almost full list in his hand:

"It's your turn next. We need to pick out a lot of stuff and make sure that there are enough for the six of us to share and use... Actually, I don't think these things are very useful."

He sighed and looked at Yang Xiao: "This makes me feel like a poor student with a lot of stationery... Even without these things, we can still climb the mountain, right?"

"Yes, you're right."

Yang Xiao patted Zhang Da on the shoulder and said frankly:

"But we are not without money. It is not wrong to make the trip safer if we can still climb the mountain."

"……Right."

Zhang Da nodded and said, "So what should we look at first, the power bank or the headlamp?"

"Let's go shopping."

Yang Xiao spread his hands and said with a smile:

"Old Pei will be here in a while. Although he is not a trainer in the standard sense, he once followed the adventure team to the mountains to do research. He can share his experience with everyone."

"You just used your phone to contact him?"

"of course."

Yang Xiao looked at Zhang Da curiously: "What else? Who do you think I should contact?"

"Uh……"

Zhang Da looked away and pursed his lips: "I thought... um..."

"Jiang Youyi?"

"Hmm... hm? I didn't say that."

Zhang Da wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead with his hand and said with a smile: "You said it yourself, you can't blame me for being too gossipy."

"You're thinking wrong."

Yang Xiao gave Zhang Da a chestnut without any hesitation.

He knew why Zhang Da had such an idea.

Because in recent days, Jiang Youyi did send him messages frequently, and the two of them often talked on the phone briefly because it was inconvenient for them to chat.

Although the content is normal, it happens so often.

And high school is the age when people keep joking about who is with whom or not.

"Where is it off?"

Zhang Da covered his head and muttered, "You're talking on the phone for a long time and you still blame others for thinking too much?"

“…No wonder.”

Yang Xiao stretched his arms, then picked up the plastic-wrapped battery in front of him, and after a careful inspection, he stuffed it into Zhang Da's frame and said casually:

"But our relationship is not as complicated as you think. It's simply because she gave us money."

"what?"

Zhang Da was stunned: "It's packed?"

"what?"

"Well...I said she gave money?"

"Of course."

Yang Xiao turned around and looked at Zhang Da in confusion, as if he didn't understand why the other party could ask such a question:

"Why should I answer her call if she doesn't give me money?"

"This……"

Zhang Da hesitated and didn't say anything.

Logically speaking, as friends, there is nothing wrong with good friends not stealing or robbing and being self-reliant.

But when it comes to legal principles...

Tsk.

But think about it...it's not right.

Isn’t Yang Xiao that kind of person?

He hesitated for a moment.

Zhang Da approached Yang Xiao, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "Have you got anything to hide recently?"

The confusion on Yang Xiao's face grew deeper and deeper.

broken.

Zhang Da's brain has evolved completely wrongly.

Yang Xiao was completely unable to understand his current train of thought.

It feels like although the two people are in the same latitude, their souls do not blend with each other, and the words they say to each other seem to exist in parallel worlds.

Looking at Yang Xiao's expression, Zhang Da seemed to understand something.

You must be embarrassed.

"fine."

He took a deep breath and bared his teeth at Yang Xiao: "Brother, if I don't tell you, no one will know."

“Ah? Ah??”

Yang Xiao's expression was unusually confused and distorted: "Huh???"

buzz-

At this time.

Yang Xiao's cell phone suddenly vibrated, just in time to interrupt their seemingly encrypted conversation.

"Hey."

Pei Zhilang's lazy voice came from the phone: "I'm here. Where can I find you?"

"A large underground shopping mall."

Calming down his emotions, Yang Xiao hung up the phone.

Looking at Zhang Da who had an expression of "I understand but I won't say it", Yang Xiao put his hands on his hips and silently looked away.

Looking at this face again, he was afraid that he would become mentally ill.

It didn't take long.

The young man with messy hair walked down the escalator leisurely, and the first thing he saw was Yang Xiao standing at the door with a very strange expression.

"what?"

He glanced at Yang Xiao suspiciously: "Your expression is very wrong, as if you have eaten feces. I have never seen you like this before."

"fine."

Yang Xiao took a deep breath, forced a smile and patted Pei Zhilang on the shoulder: "I don't allow you to say that about Zhang Da."

Ok?

Zhang Da turned around suddenly.

"Let's go."

Changing the subject calmly, Yang Xiao took the lead and walked towards the depths: "I asked you to come here mainly to listen to your experience."

"I know."

Pei Zhilang touched his chin and said, "But in fact, there is not much experience to talk about. Our conditions were more difficult than they are now, and the development of technology has remained the same for almost five years."

"At most, I'll tell you that you need to prepare some extra things, such as antidotes or sprays for wounds, because there will be countless troubles when climbing mountains."

"Although Henghai City has the word 'sea' in its name, this city has nothing to do with the sea. Instead, it has the longest mountain range within hundreds of miles around it."

"This is the exact opposite of the northern province that is close to the sea."

"Because the climate is mild, you need to be careful of those bug-type Pokémon in the jungle before climbing the mountain. During the process, you must also watch out for Pokémon with strong territorial awareness, such as Crawl and Nido Family."

"There's no need to say much about the mountains. It's dominated by Geodude and Rhydon. You can even see Rhydon... It's quite dangerous."

indeed.

Yang Xiao lowered his eyes slightly.

These Pokémon are extremely difficult to deal with, not only because of their bad tempers, but also because they always want to show their determination to destroy themselves.

The mountain is full of mines, and everyone is afraid of them.

"As for the cave..."

Pei Zhilang did not finish his words. After a brief silence, he shook his head and said, "The Alliance will not be so cruel as to let you enter the cave. There are tens of thousands of Zubats in there, which are difficult to deal with."

“…Not necessarily.”

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and covered his head with his hands.

He really has a headache at the moment.

Half of it came from Zhang Da, and half came from what he was saying: "It's really annoying... Our head teacher is a little abnormal."

Pei Zhilang raised his eyebrows and became interested: "I want to know how abnormal he is?"

"that is……"

Yang Xiao had a complicated expression: "It's outrageous, but also very normal."

"It's hard to understand. You have to describe it more vividly..."

"Look in the mirror."

"understood.

Pei Zhilang laughed: "You know how to look good, so isn't that pure by?"
