Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

boom--

Mountain birds fly up from the branches, spread their wings and sing.

Many people were suddenly awakened from their dreams and hurried to be with their Pokémon.

Those who had companions huddled together to confirm with each other the sounds they had heard.

"It was gunfire."

"Not necessarily. What if it was a lightning strike that hit a rock?"

"No, no, you believe me."

Someone swallowed nervously and said, "I've been to a shooting range when I was traveling abroad before, so I definitely didn't hear it wrong..."

"But why would someone shoot here?"

The voices became quieter and quieter, and finally everyone fell silent.

If the problem does not lie with these high school students, then it means that the poachers often seen in novels and news are probably not far from them.

"No, I have to go."

Someone gritted his teeth, took out a flare from his pocket with trembling hands, and pulled the rope as if he was going to release it in the next second.

"Don't worry!"

Someone held his arm and said earnestly:

"There are so many sheriffs in the B&B, have you forgotten? They will naturally handle it. Besides, if you quit now, wouldn't all the suffering you have endured before be in vain?"

"No, I don't gamble... Never mind."

He took two trembling steps back, away from his companions:

"The training camp is meaningless to me. I won't get any ranking rewards. I'm already very satisfied with what I've achieved so far. If I really run into a poacher and get shot, my life will be over."

"I'll retreat now that the gunfire is far away, to avoid running into them later and being unable to retreat even if I want to..."

Done.

He pulled the fuse at his companions in front of him who were looking at each other with some hesitation.

next second.

The red flare soared into the sky with a thick exhaust gas and then exploded.

at the same time.

There were also many flares that were detonated in different places in the mountain.

Apparently, after the gunshots, many students immediately decided to withdraw from the mountain climbing training that had tortured them for a week.

For them, there is still a long and wonderful life ahead.

I don't want to gamble at this moment, but that's fine.

only.

Some people really think so.

Some people just want to find an excuse to quit.

...

The second brother was lying in the mud pit with his teeth bared, his whole body seemed to be covered in mud, and he looked very miserable.

The same was true for the people next to him.

"Who! Ahem..."

He coughed up a mouthful of foul-smelling mud. Veins popped out of his neck. He was so angry that his hair stood on end. He started dancing in the mud pit. "Who did this? Who did this?"

"I did it."

I heard the voice before I heard the person.

After the slightly proud voice, a young man in mountaineering clothes appeared with his hands behind his back, frowning and fanning his nose repeatedly:

"How old are you and still playing in the mud? It stinks. I thought someone would fall in the mud in the morning, but I didn't expect someone to fall in the mud not long after we finished digging. Man, you are even dumber than Zheng Xi... huh?"

Zhang Da blinked and looked at the people in the mud pit, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

And the more I look at it, the more something seems wrong.

Why do I feel like these people don’t look like high school students?

"I'm in the morning."

The second brother yelled, raised his shotgun and pulled the trigger.

Kaka-

The mud flowed into the barrel through the gap, and jamming was the only outcome.

Although no bullet was fired, it really scared Zhang Da. He covered his chest and looked at Lao Er with a look of fear.

Zheng Xi, who arrived later, paused slightly.

The first thing he saw was the shotgun covered in mud and sand, and the second thing he saw was the group of strangers.

The second brother threw his shotgun aside and walked laboriously in the mud.

He tried his best to stretch out his left hand to grab Zhang Da's trouser leg, while his other hand reached for the dagger at his waist.

He must kill this man with his own hands to vent his anger.

Zheng Xi's eyes suddenly became stern. He reached out to grab Zhang Da, trying to pull him back, and said quickly: "Be careful, these people..."

Snapped--

The sudden noise made his eyes widen and his mouth open slightly.

The poachers who were soaked in the mud pit also stopped their actions and stared in amazement at the young man who was squatting down and retracting his hands.

"You're trying to scare me with a toy gun?"

Zhang Da stared at Lao Er, whose cheeks suddenly turned red, with a fierce look in his eyes, and said disdainfully:

"I know you look a little anxious, but I, Zhang Da, am not scared. Is there a rubber bullet in the gun? Don't you know that this is illegal?"

Feeling the burning sensation on his face, the second brother suddenly became confused and listened to the other party's lecture in astonishment.

"Which school are you from? How dare you blatantly break the law? I will definitely tell your teacher!"

"You still want to shoot me? If you really hurt me, I will blackmail you for the rest of your life, you know? Besides, it's just a pit, is it necessary to do this to me?"

Zhang Da became angrier as he spoke. He stood up but squatted down again.

After two more claps of sound, he took a step back, rubbed his palms, and said impatiently:

"Forget it. The society will teach you how to behave in the future. Hand over the ribbon and pull the flare yourself. Don't let me talk nonsense. I have a big brother behind me, okay?"

Ribbon?

The poachers were stunned by what they heard.

Not only them, but also Zheng Xi is the same.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and for a moment he didn't know how to evaluate the abstract and distorted developments at the moment.

The second brother quickly came to his senses, his eyes burning red with anger.

I took a few deep breaths and tried to calm myself down, but I could only feel my temper getting hotter.

Having been a poacher for half his life, he was actually beaten by a little kid who hadn't even grown all his hair yet.

He had never suffered such a humiliation.

Never!

"Good good..."

He gritted his teeth, stared at the boy in front of him, took out his Poké Ball from the mud, and threw it upwards.

at this time.

A black shadow suddenly covered the surface of the pit. Hearing several hurried calls from behind, Lao Er realized that something was wrong.

Then came the arrogant voice of the young man: "You will only die if you resist stubbornly! I told you that I have the protection of my big brother..."

wow-

A heavy palm suddenly covered Lao Er's chest, and the huge force lifted him out of the mud.

The second brother's pupils trembled, and he was at a loss. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a fierce bear face.

At this moment, Kugrim was staring at him gloomily, holding the Poké Ball in its free palm.

For some reason, the Poké Ball was motionless at this moment.

It's as if there are no Pokémon in it at all.

"Master Bear is mighty!"

Zhang Da hugged Circle Bear’s thighs with an admiring look on his face.

Zheng Xi continued to watch this scene with complicated eyes.

Circle Bear's gaze slowly moved to the second brother, who chuckled like a chicken, his anger having long since disappeared with the wind.

After sweeping past him, it swept towards the group of poachers who were trying to reduce their presence as much as possible in the mud pit.

At last.

It twitched its nose slightly, feeling a little confused.

Are these guys really high school students?

Not right.

Circle Bear tilted his head, his expression becoming more ferocious.

When it was still a baby bear, it was abducted by a group of people and taken away from its mother's territory.

Although the gang was eventually caught and it was transferred to the Northern Province Cultivation Palace, the memory is deeply engraved in its mind.

You guys have a very similar temperament to those bastards.

How bold!

You can fool Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, but you can't fool me, Xiong Xuande.

Say!

Where did you beasts come from?
