Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

"Give me a cup of hot water to warm myself up."

"Thank you."

"Should you put on a hot pack, it's very hot."

"Oh, you're so polite."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. This is just the beginning. What's your name?"

"My surname is Yang."

"Yang, Yang...hiss, whose last name is Yang...ah ha ha, look at me, I almost forgot to turn on the air conditioner in your car."

"That's not necessary."

The curly-haired boy was wrapped in a black cotton jacket, holding a thermos cup full of water in his hand, sitting sideways on the seat.

He smiled at the several people who were crowded with smiles as the car door was wide open, "Half of my body is exposed, so turning on the air conditioner is useless."

"Oh, look at me."

The person who was speaking slapped his forehead twice and said with a smile: "How about I close the door for you?"

"No, thank you."

The young man took a sip of the scalding hot water and said casually, "You go about your business, don't worry about me... I have some signs of frostbite, and I'm afraid it will get worse if I'm hit by a sudden heat wave. I'll just have to get used to it first."

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. Just look at the snow scene, we'll shovel the snow and we'll be able to set off soon."

"Can I help?"

"No, no, just take a rest."

Done.

The person who spoke ran hurriedly down the cliff, picked up the snow shovel that had been placed aside, and ran towards the road.

But after a few hours, the light snow turned into thick snow, covering the road down the mountain.

Watching the man go away, the young man looked around cautiously, took another sip of hot water, and then slowly glanced to the other side.

There were two people standing there.

A younger one was listening to the scolding, occasionally lowering his head to avoid the latter's slap on the head; the other one had his hands on his hips, scolding something rapidly.

"No, Master, you can't blame me. At first glance, I really thought it was..."

"What do you think? What do you think?! Just be honest."

The voice was intermittent, perhaps because the volume was deliberately controlled, and the boy couldn't hear it clearly.

Just looking at this scene, he lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking about, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He was none other than Yang Xiao who had “drifted” here.

Count your breaths.

Feeling that he was no longer cold, Yang Xiao covered the thermos cup again, stood up, walked on the snow, and walked towards the trunk.

Then he pulled it upwards, and the snowflakes floated down through the gap. He waved his hand to clear the snowflakes and unfastened the side chain of his suitcase.

After rummaging around inside for a while, he took out a thick envelope.

Taking a casual glance inside the envelope, Yang Xiao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Although the master's wife said that she left him some cash as a backup.

But he really didn't expect that so much cash was left.

A rough estimate...nearly six digits, with some integers and some decimals.

Be nice.

Could this be the private cash that my mentor had saved with so much difficulty? Was it all gone?

Wouldn’t this mentor be so angry that his lips would twitch?

After thinking for a while, Yang Xiao chuckled, pulled out a stack of red bills, and without counting them, he raised his hand to close the trunk and got back into the back seat.

After casually glancing at the furnishings in the car, Yang Xiao leaned forward slightly, opened the central armrest box, and put the stack of bills in it.

Then he leaned back in the chair, rubbed his hands together, and breathed out air.

It can be seen that these people are quite humble, even unbelievably humble.

Judging from the clothes they were wearing, they should be staff members of the alliance that was temporarily transferred to the new hot spring village because of the secret realm.

In any case, several people came to pick me up and even shoveled snow in the heavy snow.

Even if it was just an official requirement, Yang Xiao was willing to give them some psychological comfort and let them do whatever they wanted with the money.

of course.

The most important thing is that it is not my own money. I spend money now to help my mentor quit smoking as soon as possible and regain his youthful and healthy figure.

Having said that, Yang Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

I just feel a little itchy in my lungs.

"Hello?"

"Ok?"

The sound outside the car door made Yang Xiao stunned for a moment. He turned his head and saw the duo approaching him.

The one who spoke was the older one.

now.

He clasped his hands together, and his attitude was not as humble as those others: "What's your name?"

"My last name is Yang, you can just call me Xiao Yang."

"Okay, then...Xiao Yang."

"Hey."

Yang Xiao smiled politely: "You go ahead."

"I'm going to shovel the snow too. I'll try to shovel a path down the mountain within half an hour. That's enough for us to get started."

"Okay, you're busy."

"Well, I'm afraid you'll be lonely, so I'll ask my apprentice to come and chat with you. He's smart and likes to watch talk shows..."

"Master, I won't. I'll shovel snow with you."

"Don't make me kick you."

The man quickly turned his head and said something serious, then turned to Yang Xiao and smiled again: "Okay, you two can chat in the car, I'm leaving."

Done.

He turned around and pretended to slap him, but the young man shrank his neck and stepped back. When he raised his head again, only the back of his master was left.

Seeing this, the young man scratched his head, feeling a little annoyed.

When he turned around, he saw the young man looking at him with a smile, and there seemed to be a flash of golden light in his eyes.

Is it an illusion?

"Uh……"

When their eyes met, the young man felt a little embarrassed.

Even when he opened the car door and got into the driver's seat, the awkward atmosphere was still lingering around them.

Yang Xiao looked at him twice, then looked away.

Young people had a bad impression of him, and were even a little repulsive. Yang Xiao was not prepared to explain anything about this situation.

Unfamiliar, meaningless.

Sudden.

Just as the young man made up his mind and decided to turn around and chat for a while, a cry suddenly came from the sky, followed by something approaching quickly.

Yang Xiao's whole body tensed up instantly. He grabbed his trainer belt with his right hand, and quickly grabbed the car door with his left hand and closed it with his backhand.

boom.

The force of the door closing caused the SUV to shake slightly, but then a white and blue figure rushed straight into the driver's seat which had not been closed in time.

next second.

The young man cried out in pain, but before he could say anything, the yellow thing like a bird's beak suddenly grew larger and sucked the young man in decisively like sucking noodles.

Yang Xiao watched this scene dimly.

Followed by.

The blue-white figure staggered down from the driver's seat, and the tongue that was forced to squeeze outside was steaming and floating in the air.

Along with it, there was the sound of knocking on the door, and the young man shouting at the top of his lungs, "Let him out... Let him out!"

"I'm not food! Stupid bird, how many times a day do you have to come here! Huh!?"

Sudden.

As if it had noticed someone else's gaze, the toucan with its chin propped up like a suitcase suddenly turned its head and looked at Yang Xiao who was looking out of the car window.

Eyes facing each other.

Looking at those eyes that were so wise and seemed full of charm, the corners of Yang Xiao's mouth twitched slightly.

Not right.

Is it too late for me to put the money away now?

Aren’t you the employees who were eliminated?
