Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

Coconut Cloud Island is the most famous tourist island in China.

The top three contributors to the national tourism GDP are located in the southern prefecture-level cities, surrounded by the sea and with a suitable climate.

The island is famous for its signature fruit called "sweet coconut" that grows on the five-meter-high cloud coconut trees that are unique to the island.

It is said that coconut milk is naturally sweet and leaves a lingering taste on the lips and teeth, and has even earned the reputation of being the "Ace of Coconuts" across the country.

of course.

Coconut Cloud Island also has the common characteristics of all coastal cities. The prices of fish, shrimp and seafood are very affordable, and the urban area of ​​Coconut Cloud Island is also quite developed, with everything you need.

Even the gym has it.

One of the 18 gyms in Shenzhou, the flying-type [Soaring Gym] is located on the highest ground here.

More importantly, the owner of this museum is a tall and beautiful woman, and she is also a personal photographer who is quite famous on the Internet.

The number of fans on the short video platform exceeded 10 million last year.

This is the end.

There are crowds of people in front of the Soaring Gym every day. People often line up here just after midnight and buy tickets when they wait to open.

Besides.

The beach of Coconut Cloud Island is also crowded with people on weekdays.

But the bustling time only lasts until around 19.20: in the evening. Like the late night we are in now, there are usually very few people.

Even if there are some, they are mostly family members holding small shovels and bringing their children to catch clams while waiting for the high and low tides, or couples out for a walk.

But today is a little different.

It's not just the number of people that's different, but everything is different.

It was clearly late at night and it should have been pitch dark, but nearly half of the beach was as bright as day.

It was as if an invisible sun was in this area, taking away the authority that belonged to the moon.

This also means that there are more people on the beach at this moment.

Many people who didn't know what was going on were holding up their mobile phones to record this scene in shock. I think there will be a lot of videos circulating on the Internet tomorrow.

Those who had some guesses stared blankly at the huge parasol in the center, the white-haired young man lying on the lounge chair under the parasol, and the huge monster lying quietly beside him.

"Wow, look!"

The little girl stared with round eyes, holding a small shovel in her left hand, and looked curiously at the Pokémon lying on the beach in front of her, breathing steadily.

The latter glanced at it and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

The little girl swallowed, her eyes full of envy.

She turned to look at her father, waved excitedly and said, "Dad, come here! It's so warm here."

“It’s really this…”

Her father took a few steps forward and hugged her, then looked at the dark-skinned Pokémon lying on the beach with some excitement.

He then turned his gaze behind the other person, looking at the young man lying on a recliner, wearing sunglasses and sipping coconut milk leisurely.

Seems to be aware of the sight.

He had short white hair, raised his sunglasses, and made a "yeah" gesture to the source with a smile.

My father became even more excited, as if he had met his idol.

The young man laughed heartily, very happy.

After watching the father and daughter leave, the young man put his sunglasses back on his eyes and lightly kicked the Pokémon next to him who was resting with his eyes closed: "

You try so hard, I can hardly feel the 'sunny day' anymore."

It raised its head quietly and looked at its trainer.

You are sick.

It's okay for me to open the 'Sunny Day' at night, I can tolerate it, but what do you mean by holding a parasol?

Who can feel this?

Besides, the sunny day has lasted for four hours. Even if you can feel it, your body should have adapted to it, right?

No.

Are you picking on me on purpose? (Sound effect)

next second.

The flaming tail slammed heavily to the ground.

The dust and sand that were raised covered the young man's face.

"Pooh!"

The young man spat out a mouthful of gravel calmly, put the sweet coconut filled with sand aside, and said with a smile:

"Charizard, I knew you would do this, so I bought so many sweet coconuts in advance..."

The words have not yet fallen.

A flame quickly swept through the coconuts packed in the cardboard box.

What was strange was that the flames did not seem to touch the cardboard box at all, but instead seemed to consciously wrap around the sweet coconuts until they turned into black balls.

The young man's smile gradually disappeared and finally shifted to Charizard's face.

He took a deep breath and looked away angrily.

Charizard smiled, then contentedly lay back down on the beach, continuing to enjoy the fun of life.

at this time.

The cell phone on the small table next to me suddenly buzzed.

The young man picked up the phone and glanced at the contacts on the screen, a little surprised.

"Qin Zhao."

After the call was connected, there was a sigh, followed by a woman's voice that sounded very helpless: "How have you been recovering from your injuries recently?"

"not too good."

The young man lay in the chair leisurely and said lazily: "It will probably last for about 30 years, and then I can retire..."

The woman didn't say anything, she was a little speechless.

"By the way, how come you remembered to call me?"

Without waiting for the other party to reply, the young man's mouth suddenly curled up into a smile.

He seemed to have thought of something, and said with a sense of evil:

"Could it be that Old Huo is dead? Don't worry, as part of the Iron Trio, I will definitely attend his funeral, haha..."

He covered his mouth suddenly, but it was too late.

The heartfelt laughter had already reached the other side of the phone.

"..."

Cheng Di's face was filled with black lines.

"If this is true, you'd better not come."

There was a pause.

She said expressionlessly: "If Huo Jun knew that you came to his funeral, he would definitely choose to come out and slander you."

"……snort."

The young man turned on the hands-free mode, put his hands on his head, looked at the distant sea level, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Just tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Will you agree to it if I tell you?"

"That depends on what the matter is."

The young man said slowly:

"Some things are okay, and some aren't... But after all, we grew up together, so there's no need to be so official. I'll help if I can."

"…It's not me. It's mainly because Huo Jun wants to ask you to do something."

"it is good!"

The young man stopped stretching and jumped up from the recliner as if he had received an injection of chicken blood. He rubbed his hands together and said, "Are you sure you want to beg?"

"It's 'please'!"

"I do not believe."

Cheng Di sighed and played the recorder she had prepared long ago.

Huo Jun's dying, whining voice could be clearly heard from inside: "Qin Zhao, I beg you..."

"Please turn up the volume a little more. I can't record it here."

"Qin Zhao, I beg you to do me a favor."

The young man turned off the recording function on his phone and said with a smile, "Okay, tell me what happened."

"Help him protect someone."

"Who?"

"His student's name is Yang Xiao."

"Yang Xiao..."

The young man touched his chin and frowned slightly: "Don't tell me, I seem to have some impression of him, I forgot who told me about it... Where is he now?"

"Bai Li Mountains... Originally, I wanted Yang Xiao to improve his ability to survive in the wild, but I didn't expect him to accidentally run into a group of poachers. I heard that some cadres from Hyena also showed up. Huo Jun is now more worried about Yang Xiao's safety."

"That's not right. He can solve these problems by himself, right? At most, the cadres from Hyena are a little difficult for him to deal with..."

The young man asked with great interest: "But he still chose to ask me for help. He cares so much about Yang Xiao. Could it be that he wants to accept him as a disciple?"

"Does it count if I unilaterally think of accepting a disciple?"

"Hahaha."

The young man laughed loudly and shook his head gently: "You haven't taken a fancy to Huo Jun yet? Although his ability is average, he is more than enough to teach a high school student, right?"

"That's his own business."

Cheng Di asked calmly: "So, do you agree or not?"

"promise."

The young man put on a flowered shirt, tied a bamboo hat on his head, and got ready. He got on the back of the colorful fire-breathing dragon that had already spread its wings, and patted it on the back gently:

"But the directors may not agree, so I have to go there now."

next second.

With its wings whistling, the Charizard rushed straight into the sky like a black lightning.

Only the confused crowd was left there, plunged back into darkness.
