Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

North Earth University.

In this world, all universities in China named after regions are among the best in that region.

Although Beijing University of Technology is not ranked at the top among these named schools, as a 985 university, its foundation is much stronger than that of ordinary universities.

Although it is more inclined towards liberal arts, this is also the foundation of China's strength.

If any country wants to prosper, it cannot do without a series of factors such as rich resources, vast territory, and advanced technology.

But in this world, there is one more option.

That's the trainer.

Even in a city like Northern Province that is far from being a top-tier city, the abundant resources it possesses are enough to cultivate a large number of excellent trainers.

The fact that all the members of the school team are professional level is the most obvious evidence.

...

On the way to Beijing University of Technology in a taxi, Yang Xiao suddenly had an idea and put the clip-on camera on his chest.

"This is……"

"Record some footage."

Yang Xiao adjusted the parameters on his phone and replied casually: "I haven't updated a short video for a long time, so I'll just shoot a life vlog."

"Do not."

Su Wanyu said calmly: "What I mean is that your camera is lame."

Yang Xiao's movements paused slightly.

"I'm also a blogger, whatever I usually adopt... just ignore what I said."

Only then did Su Wanyu catch a glimpse of the other person's actions, and instantly closed his mouth and silently shifted his gaze away.

The taxi fell into silence.

The master glanced at the rearview mirror, saw Su Wanyu's face clearly, and shook his head with a little regret.

The girl is very pretty, how could she be so tactless?

"arrive."

After a cool drift, the driver casually put his left arm on the window and said, "I'll take it at the meter price of 36 yuan."

"She pays."

Yang Xiao opened the car door and raised his eyebrows at the extremely spectacular school gate in front of him.

There are often debates about Beijing University of Technology on the Internet.

The main reason is half due to the difficult-to-evaluate mental outlook of the school team, and the other half due to the luxuriousness of its construction.

It is said.

The school renovates original equipment or venues every year. In terms of these hardware facilities, it can even be compared with top universities or private aristocratic colleges.

For example, the entrance is extremely spectacular, and the carvings look like lifelike statues.

After looking up for a while, Yang Xiao silently uttered two words: "Awesome."

Who would carve a five-meter-tall Snorlax and put it in front of the door?

"Let's go."

Carefully stuffing the wallet into the innermost layer of the shoulder bag, Su Wanyu tied it up and walked ahead:

"Let me show you around, Junior Brother."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Yang Xiao nodded slightly and followed closely.

...

"As for the number of teaching buildings, we have a total of eight buildings for different academic categories. One of them is specially built for the elves department. All the hardware is outstanding no matter where it is placed."

"In terms of accommodation conditions, we fully respect the living space between students and Pokémon. Whether it is undergraduate or graduate students in the Pokémon Department, we all adopt an independent accommodation system."

"As long as your Pokémon complies with the dormitory's management rules, you can let them live together."

Yang Xiao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by this.

As far as he knows, whether at home or abroad, most schools still adopt the mixed dormitory accommodation method, just like the accommodation environment of Henghai No. 3 Middle School.

The most obvious thing about independent accommodation is that it is very expensive. From this point of view, the University of North Earth is willing to spend money.

"Within the broad category of the elves department, there are also different sub-specialties."

Su Wanyu turned her head to look at Yang Xiao and said slowly: "For example, professional coordinator, professional nutritionist, etc...."

As she spoke, Yang Xiao lowered his head and flipped through the admissions resumes, nodding silently.

In addition to trainers and researchers, there are many other Pokémon-related professions, and there are also Coordinator competitions similar to those in the works of the last century.

It’s just that they are relatively less well-known than the former.

But think about it from another perspective, is there any position in the world that is more popular than the trainer?

When passing by a slightly short building, Su Wanyu suddenly stopped, turned around and pointed at it and said to Yang Xiao:

"This is the training ground."

"The training ground?"

Yang Xiao looked at the short building curiously, but he couldn't find any connection between it and these two words:

"Two points for strong word combination. You reminded me of when I was younger and I used to combine names for my online names."

"How young are you, old enough to wear diapers?"

Su Wanyu looked at Yang Xiao seriously:

"The parade ground refers to the place where people practiced or competed in ancient times. This place is also the same... It is a place specially reserved by Beitu University for the school team."

"A whole building? Huh?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiao put his hands on his hips and thought: "If you say so, I have to change my mind."

"what?"

"nothing."

Yang Xiao smiled and didn't express his thought: "If the enjoyment is not proportional to the effort, then it's not the board's fault for getting angry."

Su Wanyu quietly looked at Yang Xiao's smiling face, and could not see any clues from it.

Count your breaths.

Su Wanyu lowered her eyes slightly.

Even if she didn't say it, she could guess a little.

During the critical period of selecting "985" universities across the country, the school team's cultural heritage and achievements were sufficient, except for the Elf Department, which was slightly lacking.

At this time, the school team at that time gritted their teeth and worked hard, stood out in the college trials, and had a burst of performance.

As a result, they were qualified to participate in the National College League.

This also directly promoted the school's selection into the "985" program, and made Su Wanyu, a local, more determined to join the school.

After the school was officially selected as one of the 985 universities, the board of directors decided to make drastic changes to all the existing facilities.

Therefore, this low building, which was originally intended to be the new library, looks a bit shabby.

When they were about to tear it down and rebuild it, the then principal waved his hand and, against all odds, transformed it into a multi-functional building suitable for daily training of the school team.

then.

Everyone on the school team is united in purpose and believes they can charge forward to greater heights.

But they didn't expect that after they crossed the dragon gate and ascended successfully.

The one who became was not the Monkey King who caused havoc in Heaven, but the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals who were responsible for encircling and suppressing the Monkey King.

Even though the school team at that time tried its best, it still failed to achieve any worthy results in the national college league in those years.

It is even about to fall out of the admission quota for the National College League, and only retains the ranking among the top 985 universities in the cultural category.

The strength of the school team last year and this year can be said to be the best in history. She can even say without exaggeration that her contribution here exceeds 50%.

In addition, Sang Ping contributed 40%, and the rest contributed a total of 10%.

Even if all members were Silver-level professional trainers, it would only be enough for them to climb to the top 16.

In terms of strength, they are all at the bright silver level, but the gap in numbers is definitely not enough.

Don’t look down on this year’s freshmen, the reserve player Sang You has some mental problems and is very inexperienced.

But he has two Bright Silver-level Pokémon.

In terms of quantity, he is even much better than some old team members who racked their brains and could only train one team after four years of college.

Thinking of this, Su Wanyu suddenly sighed.

By next year, after Sang Ping graduates, the school league results will probably fall again.

Even if Su Wanyu used all his skills to make his sixth Pokémon break through the Bright Silver level, it would probably be difficult to maintain his current results.

It is true that she is a genius.

But those who rank at the top are all geniuses.

...

Looking at Su Wanyu, who had not spoken for a long time and suddenly fell silent, Yang Xiao suddenly felt a little guilty...

Shit.

He just looked at her quietly, and after counting thirty numbers in his mind, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"Ok?"

Su Wanyu's thoughts were interrupted and she looked at Yang Xiao in confusion.

The latter curled her lips and said, "Sister, why am I here?"

"Oh, sorry... How do you feel about Beitu University now?"

“It feels much better.”

Su Wanyu's eyes lit up: "Then you..."

"That's all."

Yang Xiao shrugged his shoulders: "Let me be honest with you. I'm not interested in suffering without any hardship... If you are not used to this word, I can also change it to turning the tide."

Su Wanyu stared blankly at the young man in front of her without saying a word.

The young man looked at her calmly and continued:

"I am not from the North, I have no feelings for the North, and I don't want to spend my next four years in college worrying about the school team every day..."

Hear this.

Su Wanyu was a little dazed, as if she remembered something she had forgotten.

The young man gave Su Wanyu some time to digest the situation, and his tone softened slightly:

"Of course, I may not be that useful. Have you ever considered that you are just desperate and trying all kinds of methods..."

"On my way here, I submitted my application for the Gym Badge Battle, and through some unspeakable means, I was able to speed up my application ranking."

"So, I will probably be able to make my debut in the evening..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Before Yang Xiao could finish what he said, Su Wanyu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted and said:

"Junior brother, you can't get the badge of Taohai Gym."

"…Sorry, Senior Sister, I may have to go first in a moment…What did you say?"

"I said……"

Su Wanyu took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at Yang Xiao with her dark eyes:

"You can't get the badge because there is indeed a certain gap between your strength and that of a real professional trainer..."

"But from your expression... you don't seem to believe this? So you want to know what a real professional trainer looks like?"

"It's a far cry from your current strength."

"stop."

Yang Xiao frowned and looked into Su Wanyu's eyes:

"...If you are angry and embarrassed, then my impression of you will become very bad, so bad that out of respect for the teacher, I can hold back and leave directly."

"No, I'm telling the truth."

"is it?"

Yang Xiao placed his hand on the luxurious ball at the starting position on his waist and rubbed it gently.

As if in response, the luxurious ball trembled slightly.

"I admit there is a gap, and I can accept that I can't get the badge, after all, I only have one Pokémon, but there is a world of difference..."

Yang Xiao was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Miss Su, is that an exaggeration?"
