Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

After the battle, the two took a photo facing the camera.

After each Badge Battle, each gym will take a group photo with the trainers who have successfully completed the challenge, and the photo will be posted on the challenge wall in the lobby for people to watch.

At the end of each year, the photos on the group photo wall will be updated regularly according to the number of badges, so even if I take a photo with Yang Xiao, I won’t be able to keep it for a few days.

In this regard, the league is not so humane.

Challenging gyms in December and refreshing the number in January, this has actually happened many times in the league, and many trainers have suggested changing it to a personal timing system.

That is, the count started from the moment you got the badge, and it was announced to end on this day one year later, but it was quickly rejected by the alliance.

It is difficult to count because there are too many people.

The main reason is that they think it’s too messy and too busy.

"Yang Xiao."

Watching the photographer finish taking pictures, Zhao Haifeng suddenly turned his head and whispered:

"The badge I'm giving you is the latest undisclosed model that was originally scheduled to be released next year... At the same time, I will also activate the gym owner's privilege to continue your achievements and become the first badge recipient of "next year"."

Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Master. Actually, there is no need to do this..."

"It doesn't matter."

Zhao Haifeng straightened his clothes and said calmly:

"The main thing is that even if you come to challenge me again, it will be meaningless to me. In the short term, the result will probably not change."

"In that case, you'd better stop bothering me."

Yang Xiao just smiled and said nothing.

"It can be seen that Master Zhao is communicating cordially with the challenger."

The commentator held up the microphone and said sincerely to the camera:

"This kind of emotion is really touching. I hope everyone will pay more attention to the Beitu Taohai online battle channel P700.02. We will cut some highlights and show them to everyone later..."

...

In countless different rooms, people pressed the remote control one after another, interrupting the playing video.

Then, the people in the room looked at each other.

"How to say?"

"Recruit in advance."

Someone crossed his arms and said without hesitation:

"In the entire Northern Territory, there are some people who are similar to him, but there are very few who are close to him. I have reason to suspect that if he took the college entrance examination, he would have won first place in the Northern Territory."

"It's hard to say. Beitu has more than one subordinate city, Henghai, and there are countless students there... I'm making a reservation, but there should be a place in the top three."

"The top three..."

The person who spoke first smiled coldly and threw the pen in his hand lightly without any courtesy, letting it roll on the table:

"Let alone anything else, even if he were placed in our imperial capital, he would still be on the list... Do you look down on him, or do you look down on his outsider background?"

"you!"

"okay."

The voice came from the end of the oval conference table: "...Xiao Tang, what do you think?"

"I?"

The young man called Xiao Tang scratched his head, looking a little unaccustomed to this kind of environment: "Very good...very good."

"Ah."

The speaker paused and added:

"In that case, let's follow the procedure and invite him to visit the imperial capital. Xiao Tang, you must also strive to get first place in the national college points competition in a few days."

"Understood, Principal. I will do my best."

At the same time, many others made the same decision.

Although there is still some time before the college entrance examination, everyone has already begun to focus on their favorite students.

After all, there are only so many outstanding talents in the country every year. If you don’t think of ways to contact them in advance, it may be too late by then.

For example, Chen Longjing in Shangpi back then.

At first, everyone thought that he would choose to study in the imperial capital like the Dragon King.

But who would have thought that he ran to Shangpi without saying a word and became a strong enemy of many people.

learn from mistakes.

They really don't want such an embarrassing thing to happen again.

...

He bowed and waved to the audience repeatedly until most people had left, and the noise in the venue gradually died down.

Yang Xiao also rubbed his cheeks, which were stiff from smiling.

He also didn't expect that the competition, which lasted less than half an hour, would arouse such enthusiasm among the audience and their favorability towards him soared.

When the crowd dispersed and only a few staff members were left to pump water and change the water quality, Yang Xiao suddenly turned around and glanced at Zhao Haifeng.

And at the same time, he turned to look at him.

The two people's eyes met, and they turned around at the same time and ran away into the distance.

Now that there are no outsiders, there is no need to hide anything.

During the game, there was no unusual sound in the venue.

Something is obviously wrong.

Yang Xiao knew what his teacher and Qi Chuntang wanted to do.

Although killing someone is unlikely, at least if they want to stop the madman they are talking about from doing something, they can do so without doing anything.

In fact, Yang Xiao had already prepared a plan to deal with the explosion, including a plan on how he would respond if attribute energy flew across the venue.

Running all the way to the corner, Zhao Haifeng was stunned for a moment as he looked at the lounge with its door open at the end, and his pace gradually slowed down.

There is no movement in here.

Yang Xiao ignored it, as if he didn't notice anything, and ran straight forward, making Zhao Haifeng's attempt to grab his hand fail.

"Hey, Yang Xiao!"

Yang Xiao turned a deaf ear to him, ran all the way to the door, paused for a moment and stuck his head inside.

next second.

He blinked and was stunned for a moment.

There was great harmony in the house.

Apart from the flying, collapsed tables and broken teacups, everyone was in harmony.

Of course, it would be better if the marks on some people's faces were excluded.

Qi Chuntang, in ragged clothes and with disheveled hair, sat on a chair, silently brewing tea, occasionally twitching his nose to suck back the flowing blood.

A reckless man... He should be that reckless man, right?

His naked upper body was extremely muscular, but covered with bruises. His face was completely swollen like a pig's head, and his two dark circles were extremely obvious.

He seemed to be sitting in the chair in a casual manner, but the lit cigar in his right hand was shaking wildly, as were his crossed legs, as if he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

Behind him, several figures silently turned their backs to the room and faced the wall, as if they were thinking about their mistakes.

This includes a man in a suit.

Yang Xiao could even see beads of sweat dripping down their faces.

As for my mentor...

Yang Xiao looked at him in silence.

At this moment, my teacher's face was full of smiles.

Just like a villain succeeding.

Although his face was a little swollen, there was no trace of pain on his face. Instead, he stood with his hands on his hips in a smug manner.

In the wooden frame in front of him, the Poké Balls were motionless, only occasionally one of the balls would shake, proving that they were all paying attention to the environment outside.

In the center of the house, an old man was sitting quietly on a round stool, leaning on a cane, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Behind him, the man with a ponytail and glasses had a stern expression. The moment Yang Xiao appeared, he immediately set his sights on him.

next second.

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if there was something meaningful in them.

"What's wrong, Yang Xiao?"

The voice of Master Zhao came from behind him.

With the sound of footsteps, Zhao Haifeng showed up, brushed past Yang Xiao's body, and walked into the house, his face full of anxiety:

"But something happened, damn Feng Gou'er... uh."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the old man in the center.

The old man also looked up at him, and the scar on his face was very clear.

Zhao Haifeng's voice suddenly stopped.

“… Lord Cao.”

He subconsciously took a step back and bowed instinctively.

But then he took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and took a step forward: "Zhao Haifeng, the head of the Taohai Dojo of the Northern Province Water System, reports Qianwu Tianwang, one of the four incumbent Tianwangs..."

"All right."

After a hoarse voice without any emotion, the heavy sound of a cane falling to the ground was heard in the room.

Boom!

Zhao Haifeng immediately clenched his teeth, his face full of unwillingness, and raised his head as if he wanted to say something.

But he saw his friend gently shaking his head at him.

In addition, there is the cold gaze of the man with a ponytail behind the old man.

Count your breaths.

Zhao Haifeng lowered his head and said nothing more, but he was obviously complaining.

The old man glanced at him, his eyes still calm.

half an hour.

"A king, a former leader, an educational elite. He was secretly swinging his fists in the house, swinging them so respectably. Good, very good... If I hadn't come, I'm afraid this Taohai Dojo would have been demolished, right?"

Hear the words.

There were different expressions in the room.

The old man didn't pay attention to them. After a brief silence, he suddenly changed the subject: "Young man, you are Yang Xiao? Right?"

"……Yes."

Seeing that the topic suddenly turned to himself, Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The old man nodded slightly, and then slowly said: "My last name is Cao, and others call me Cao Gong, so you can call me that too... I have a few words to discuss with you."
