Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

On the high cliff, several people were smoking tremblingly.

They were wrapped in cotton-padded jackets with the words "Shuibo Village Alliance" printed on them, and each of them wore a thick hat with earrings. Their faces were red from the cold.

"What a horrible weather! It was just a light snow, and now it's turned into a blizzard."

The young man put the cigarette into his mouth while trembling, and puffed violently a few times: "I almost froze to death."

"Have you applied the heating pad?"

"I came out in a hurry and didn't have time to post it...ah."

White smoke spews out of its mouth, and the top of the cliff is dominated by a misty, artificial heavenly palace.

After a brief groan, the young man contentedly threw the cigarette butt on the ground and twisted it twice with his foot:

"It feels good... If you ask me, the supermarket at the entrance of the village doesn't give us any face at all. This kind of "hard currency" is too expensive."

"No move."

beside.

The slightly older man took a sip and said leisurely:

"The geographical location here is originally remote, but there is also a secret realm in Wuli, which makes it more time-consuming and laborious to deliver any material. It's good enough if we can draw some."

"Don't you see that even the price they sell to us is so much higher? But who reported it? No one reported it. We are all living our lives. Don't make it difficult for them."

"Depend on."

The young man curled his lips, put his hands in his pockets, and said sullenly: "I studied hard for ten years, but I didn't come to this shabby place to live such a hard life..."

"Shut up!"

The man glanced at him, frost on his eyebrows, adding a bit of sternness to his expression:

"Although our Shuibo Village Alliance was hastily established by transferring personnel from nearby provinces and cities due to the emergence of the secret realm, who gave you the courage to say such nonsense here!"

"Not to mention the researchers from various research institutes, the fire-type gymnasium owner hasn't left yet. If you let them hear this, you'll be in big trouble!"

"……cut."

The young man opened his mouth, as if he was a little unconvinced, but he could only turn his head away as if in a huff, then squatted down.

Seeing his posture, the people around him looked at each other and sighed in unison.

There is no possibility of the alliance giving up halfway.

Since the name of "Shuibo Village Alliance Center" has been approved, if nothing unexpected happens, these people will probably have to stay here until retirement.

They are all old and have worked in cruel units in big cities, so they don't really have any resistance to coming here to retire.

But young people are different.

Although everywhere serves trainers...but to be honest, how many young people are willing to come to such a place?

It’s called a tourist resort… but actually, it’s just that.

and so.

They could actually understand the young man's feelings at the moment, and what he said might not be what the man meant.

It's very likely just a simple complaint.

They are named "Shuibo Village Alliance Center", but in fact it is just a makeshift team without any proper equipment.

The village office seemed easy to talk to, but they refused to give us any space.

The hot spring business here is said to be linked to some large companies, and they dare not force it too much, so they can only build it themselves.

But it’s only been a few days, what can it look like?

Not to mention doing business for others, not asking them to carry firewood or solicit customers in the middle of winter was already considered a special favor from the higher-ups.

There was silence for a while, and then someone slowly spoke up, "Do you know the person who's here to pick you up this time?"

"Director, tell me the details too."

The man sighed, "Just say he came from the North, and he seems to be a young man, coming to enter the secret realm."

"Now?"

"That's still false."

"Really..."

The people who were talking looked at each other, everything was said without words, and they all shook their heads.

"Humph."

The young man sneered:

"Why? No one dares to say. It's nothing more than a rich kid who got a silver rank and came to Shuibo Village to soak in the hot springs for a holiday, and then took a walk in this new secret realm that has not yet been made public, just to get some gold."

"Shut up!"

The man opened his mouth angrily for the second time.

He pointed at the young man, his expression serious and his words sharp: "Yan Xiaoba, you are just making blind guesses about something that has no beginning or end!"

"Then Master, do you dare to say that this is not the case?"

"you!"

The man's eyes widened, and his face turned red not because of the temperature, but because he was angry.

"Hey, forget it, Brother Ma, Xiaoba is still young."

"Yeah, try to understand him. He was working as an observer with you in the air defense observation department on the Beitu Expressway a while ago, and then he was transferred here in the blink of an eye. It's normal that he couldn't control his mentality for a while."

"Yes, yes, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth."

Seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming tense, several people around hurriedly spoke up to ease the atmosphere, speaking soft words to the man on one side and comforting the aggrieved young man on the other side.

"I don't care about you anymore."

The man took a few deep breaths and looked a little confused, as if his blood pressure had risen:

"Master is incompetent, but Master didn't abandon you. He came here with you. You are still young and will live longer than me. How can you be more impatient than me?"

"How do you know that this won't be your blessed land?"

The young man was silent for a moment and lowered his head.

Although he didn't believe what his master said, he wasn't going to really start a fight with his master over it.

Because the master really came here to accompany me.

Otherwise, given my master's hard work in the air defense observation department and his brother-in-law who is the chief of the city's police department, he would never have been transferred to this broken place with me.

"Haigaer——"

At this moment, two horse hoofbeats were heard in the sky.

Everyone looked up and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's Xiaoba's big-billed gull."

"Finally it's here. If it's a little later, I'll definitely have varicose veins tomorrow."

"I can feel my ankles starting to itch now."

Everyone smiled and waved.

In this kind of weather, Owl is one of the few Flying Pokémon that can withstand the bad weather and travel, and its flying speed will not be affected much.

The only fatal thing was that with the sharp cry of the gull, some raindrops mixed with snowflakes fell down.

"Hey? Hey!"

"Xiao Ba, there's something wrong with your energy control of this gull. Can't you control the 'rainfall' property properly?"

"no way."

The man shook his head and said slowly: "This big-billed gull of my apprentice was rescued from poachers. It has defects and cannot control its energy when it gets excited. Please understand."

The young man scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

Then he stood up and shouted, "How far is it?"

The black-billed gull circled in the air.

"One mile? Then..."

The young man took a few steps forward, squinted his eyes, and a swaying "hot air balloon" appeared at the end of his sight.

"I'm coming."

"It's broken. I didn't take the blanket. Can't this young master want a sense of ceremony?"

"Shh, stop talking, and stand still."

Seeing his companions around him being so cautious, the man looked at them unkindly and waved his hand impatiently:

"Look at you guys. Where is your aura? Go, drive the SUV over here."

"well."

"Hachi...Hachi?"

The young man came to his senses, turned around and said, "Hey, Master."

"You two should be about the same age, you can chat with me."

"...Okay, but I can't let him do whatever he wants."

"No, no, just watch."

The words fell.

The man turned and ran down the cliff: "I'll go get some hot packs."

"you……"

The young man's mouth twitched and he looked around.

Okay.

I'm the only one left.

There was heavy rain and snow, and the wind was howling.

Two armored birds covered in snow flapped their wings and slowly landed within his sight.

The young man forced a smile and was about to say a few words when his pupils suddenly contracted and the hairs on his body instantly stood up.

In the hanging basket.

Several snowmen of all shapes and sizes, tall, short, fat, and thin, gathered together, and everywhere as far as the eye could see was covered in snow.

This... is this a basket of snow?

Sudden.

A snowman suddenly turned its head towards him, and the snowflakes fell off, revealing a pair of black eyes.

The young man screamed violently, fell to the ground, and slid backwards several times on his hands and feet.

"Master...Master..."

His voice was sharp, like a lark: "Case solved! This Chun Chun is a Himalayan Bigfoot, Master!"
