Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

After slurping the instant noodles, Yang Xiao sat quietly in the chair, waiting for the first phase of collection here to be completed, and then leave with the convoy.

Pei Zhilang was sitting next to him, crossing his legs and fanning himself with several folded pieces of paper.

this moment.

He showed his strong attitude.

While his colleagues were working frantically to dig, he was the only one sitting here, enjoying the pleasure of slacking off.

“That’s what capitalists do.”

Noticing Yang Xiao's gaze, Pei Zhilang guessed what the other party might be saying before he could speak, so he took the initiative to lazily say:

"Besides, as long as I don't touch these things, I won't stand in their way, and they may even get a fair promotion."

Yang Xiao smiled and then looked away.

It is true that you use this as an excuse to slack off.

But it's also true.

The Pei family is not a powerful or wealthy family in the alliance, but they can be called a top family in scientific research.

and so.

Making contributions in scientific research has no technical content for his family, so it is better to let others do it.

of course.

This also sounds very arrogant.

After a moment of silence, Pei Zhilang suddenly straightened his back, left the chair, leaned forward to face Yang Xiao, and whispered:

"Zhao, I just remembered something."

Capitalists are good at it. They start with the word C to help with the context.

"what's up?"

Pei Zhilang did not answer immediately, but looked around.

Then he lowered his voice again and muttered through gritted teeth: "I guess we can't keep this matter secret this time. You're going to be on the news."

That's it?

Yang Xiao smiled slightly: "I guessed it."

"guessed?"

Pei Zhilang looked at him suspiciously: "My friend, this is not right. How can you be so calm after you guessed it?"

"if not?"

Yang Xiao picked up the bear disciple who was approaching him after "eating and drinking enough", held him in his arms, stroked its fur, and said casually:

"There were so many students in the Baili Mountains, and the mountains were set on fire. Then there was the Nido Family's charge... If we cover up these movements by force, they will only be dug out by others."

"Since there is no other way, isn't it normal for it to be on the news?"

Done.

Yang Xiao spread his hands again and said with a smile: "Besides, the focus of the news will not be on me... After all, the chief himself is here."

Pei Zhilang smacked his lips, and his slightly anxious expression gradually calmed down.

After thinking about it, he breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his whole body.

Leaning back on the chair, he closed his eyes again and said, "What you said makes sense."

Yang Xiao smiled and rubbed his disciple Xiong's ears.

The latter shuddered with comfort.

Add time.

...

The first phase of collection has not yet involved the extent of digging three feet into the ground, but it can be said to be a swarm of locusts.

All the trees within a one-mile radius of this place were cut down and taken away.

It doesn't matter if the tree has been stained with ghost energy or has traces of burnt fire energy.

The ground was also lightly scraped.

Several large boxes filled with soil were carried onto the carriage by the soldiers.

Some people even took documents to confirm each one, treating the soil as a treasure.

“That’s what scientific research is like.”

not far away.

Yang Xiao stood in the open space holding his three Pokémon, and Pei Zhilang on his body said leisurely:

"Not to mention the legendary Pokémon. This has been the main focus of the Alliance's scientific research in recent years. This is only the first time we've collected them. There will be at least several more collections in the future."

"correct."

As if he remembered something, Pei Zhilang raised his eyebrows, looked at Yang Xiao with a half-smile, and suddenly said: "This time... won't it be similar to the last time?"

Yang Xiao paused, then pretended to be dumbfounded and asked, "What's similar?"

“…Alright.”

Pei Zhilang curled his lips:

"From your reaction, I've got the answer... Don't let anyone else know about this except me."

"Last time, no one really doubted whether you were... special, but after going through so much, there will always be some doubts."

Pei Zhilang covered his mouth and said hurriedly, "After the news came out, you are now completely famous. You should be promoted to a professional trainer in the league as soon as possible."

"This time, you were standing on the hyenas' heads and pissing on them, especially since you caused them to lose that piece..."

At the end of his words, Pei Zhilang did not tell the whole story.

He seemed a little hesitant, not knowing whether to continue talking to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao looked at him and made some guesses about what he hadn't said.

It's nothing more than that slab of stone.

Count your breaths.

Pei Zhilang gritted his teeth, brainstormed frantically, and finally picked out something to say:

"Anyway, that stone slab is very mysterious. I don't know much about it, but I know... it is classified as a Level 5 protection."

"There is no simple baby in this category."

In response, Yang Xiao smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will start to strengthen my training when I return and strive to be promoted as soon as possible."

"Ah."

The two chatted for a while, and then they heard someone in front shouting, "You two, get in the car."

A soldier stood there, holding his gun in a serious tone: "According to the chief's order, I will take you back to the location of the Baili Mountain B&B."

"Ok."

Yang Xiao took a few steps forward and said politely, "Excuse me."

"You are Welcome."

The soldier was silent for a moment, then said hoarsely: "This is our mission."

Yang Xiao looked him up and down, then opened the door and got in the car.

Pei Zhilang walked to the car window and knocked on the glass.

When the car window rolled down, he stuck his head in and said:

"I have to go back to the Alliance Center to do experiments. When you return to the city, let's get together for dinner and tell me what happened to you recently."

"Ah."

Yang Xiao nodded and agreed: "That's great, I'll need your help when the time comes."

"Oh, that's rare, tell me about it first."

"About something."

Yang Xiao briefly mentioned a few words, then said:

"But I haven't decided yet whether to ask you for help, so you don't have to take it to heart. I won't tell you about it when the time comes, and you don't have to ask me."

"Tsk."

Pei Zhilang frowned and took a step back: "Then you shouldn't tell me now, it's really too far away, so annoying."

Done.

He waved his hand impatiently and walked away wrapped in his white coat.

Yang Xiao smiled and looked down into his arms.

The three Pokémon also looked up at him.

"Ask a question."

Yang Xiao smiled and asked, "What if you are like him and can't keep things in your heart?"

The electric monster raised his arm: "Beep--"

Then find a way to hide the matter!

The charcoal waiter thought for a moment and said, "Crack!"

Strengthen psychological construction.

"Uh-huh."

Yang Xiao nodded with a smile, looked at the bear apprentice who had followed him the longest, and waited for it to speak.

But the latter just narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Yang Xiao suddenly burst into laughter.

He scratched his bear apprentice's nose, turned to the two Pokémon who answered, and smiled, "Neither is right."

"Beep?"

"Crack?"

"Just buy a box of Liqun."

Yang Xiao touched his head and said, "It's strong enough to handle things."

really.

Apprentice Bear looked away quietly.

He knew that the trainer's answer would probably be very abstract.

Because when he saw this video, I was next to him and watched it with him.

...

Nearing the corner of the mountain road, the off-road vehicle pulled Yang Xiao away from the convoy and drove towards the location of the homestay.

Besides Yang Xiao and the three Pokémon, there was only a fully armed soldier driving the car.

Qin Zhao had long disappeared.

I heard from the soldier that after chatting with Song Du, he flew away on the Charizard.

They were left with only orders to proceed with their normal driving plan.

I didn’t expect that dinner would be the last time we saw each other.

Yang Xiao shook his head with some regret.

I should have asked him to sign it earlier.

The road leading to the B&B was forcibly pressed through the mountains by off-road vehicles.

The soldiers are very skilled in driving. Even when traveling through the mountains, the cars are very stable and rarely shake.

As the familiar building got closer and closer, the SUV's speed slowed down, and the sheriff on guard at the door became more and more vigilant.

"parking."

A sheriff raised his pistol and shouted, "The B&B ahead has been occupied by the Henghai City Alliance Center. Please return to the lane immediately."

Faced with the off-road vehicle that suddenly emerged from the mountains, the sheriffs' attitude was already very friendly.
