Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

Watching the two people go away, the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at them vaguely.

"Hah?"

Beside him, the suppressed voice of Infernape sounded.

"……in spite of."

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment and said softly:

"Since Lord Cao allowed him to come to this still-closed secret realm, I think he has high hopes for him... It would be fine for others, but Lord Cao values ​​order the most. Since he has given me this convenience, I'd better not offend him."

Hear the words.

Flame Monkey lowered his head slightly, then suddenly turned and walked towards the RV.

The middle-aged man didn't care about it and just sighed:

"The last person to receive this kind of attention was the young champion who was unbeatable all over the country... The situation has become so serious, is it necessary to give him such obvious attention when he is at the professional level?"

"An ancient palace appeared in the south, and Taiyue was dispatched to suppress it. What happened in the board of directors? Why did Qin Zhao need to return to the capital to impose martial law? Why did Yulong suddenly come to the [Locking Heaven Pillar] in person and not leave for a moment?"

Ask and answer your own questions, and no one will answer you.

There has never been a concept of sons inheriting their fathers' business on the board of directors. People with experience and contributions have always been at the top.

But ever since the previous head of the Wen family made great contributions and unfortunately passed away, everything seemed to have changed since his son came on the scene.

He originally thought that he could balance the chess game with Cao Gong's methods, but now it seems that he is a little powerless.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and sighed.

"The situation is changing rapidly and unpredictable."

Thoughts were tangled into a mess in his head, giving Yan Song a splitting headache.

to be honest.

Who who plays with fire likes to think about so many details?

"Ah ho."

"No, thank you."

Yan Song looked helplessly at the coffee that Flame Monkey brought over and gently pushed it back: "Drink it, you've worked hard."

Flame Monkey shook his head and handed it over again.

Yan Song pushed again.

Pass it again.

Looking at the serious expression on the face of his old partner who had followed him for nearly forty years, Yan Song looked up and sighed three times, and finally had to raise his hand and drink this clean and hygienic cup of coffee.

See this.

A slight smile appeared on Flame Monkey's face.

Not wasting is a good habit.

...

"Lao Yang."

Pei Zhilang looked back for a moment like a thief, and suddenly whispered, "Tell me, has Pavilion Master Yan figured it out?"

Yang Xiao carefully examined the red vortex in front of him and said casually, "I see."

"Then why did he...Oh, yes, he just mentioned Cao Gong."

Pei Zhilang was about to say something when he suddenly realized something and shook his finger: "It was Cao Gong who asked you to come?"

"Ah."

Yang Xiao answered casually, his eyes moving up and down the vortex.

Then he bent down, grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and threw it over.

next second.

Yang Xiao's pupils contracted and the bronzing converged.

In his sight, the vortex accelerated for a moment, and then the snowflakes disappeared without a trace.

It's as if it had never appeared, or as if it had entered another dimension.

[This is the secret tunnel leading to the 'Vortex Fire Red Earth'. When the unrejected material touches this place, it will immediately go there.]

[Please note: We have sensed that there is a very threatening life force in the 'Vortex Fire Red Earth'. The risk factor in this area is extremely high.]

[Repeat: The danger level of this area...]

Swish.

Yang Xiao suddenly took a half step back, his nose twitching slightly, and he stared at the quiet vortex in front of him.

"Mr. Cao is not an ordinary person...what's wrong?"

Noticing Yang Xiao's strangeness, Pei Zhilang's expression suddenly became serious.

He held Yang Xiao's shoulders and looked at the boy's expression.

"……call."

After a pause of one second, the young man took a deep breath and did not answer Pei Zhilang's question. Instead, he suddenly asked:

"Two things. First, who came up with the name Swirlfire Red Earth?"

"Uh……"

Pei Zhilang was a little confused by this, but he did not hesitate. Instead, he thought about it quickly and said immediately:

"I don't know, I really don't know, what's the problem?"

"No."

Yang Xiao took a deep breath: "It is precisely because there is no problem at all... The second question is, what is its rating level?"

Pei Zhilang stared at the boy's expression and said slowly: "...For now, it is tentatively decided to be a medium-sized secret realm."

"Low."

Yang Xiao clenched his teeth, and the sound seemed to be squeezed out from his throat:

"Can a medium-sized secret realm still threaten Yan Song?"

In his subjective mind, Yan Song is already a teammate, so the Eye of Truth will not miss him when assessing the risk factor.

"No."

Pei Zhilang did not ask the boy why he felt that the medium level was too low, but continued hurriedly:

"The medium-sized one is capped at the White Jade level, and will never reach the Brilliant level or above, not to mention that Yan Song is a veteran Brilliant-level fire trainer... But this is only a preliminary assessment, not the final assessment. What's wrong with you?"

Yang Xiao shook his head, his eyes wandering.

This was the first time he used the ability of the Eye of Truth, so it was difficult for him to make an appropriate guess.

What if the "extremely dangerous factor" displayed refers to the active volcano inside?

Or maybe, is it the boiling hot magma?

The Eye of Truth is not an intelligent thing after all. It cannot answer Yang Xiao’s guess. It can only use the most direct way to present everything it has discovered in front of Yang Xiao.

Count your breaths.

Yang Xiao gradually calmed down and said, "Old Pei."

"Ok?"

"Don't follow me in."

Yang Xiao looked at Pei Zhilang and said seriously: "I feel that this place is not safe."

Pei Zhilang stared at Yang Xiao and said, "Then why don't you leave? A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

"…If I don't go in, I have a feeling I'll regret it."

Yang Xiao rubbed his nose and frowned:

"Besides that, the evolution of Tan-sama is also imminent... This may not be the only place where it can evolve, but it is the most promising place."

"I see."

Pei Zhilang was silent for a moment: "But I won't leave... It's no use trying to persuade me. Since I'm here, I'll naturally go in with you."

"Old Pei..."

"I have given up."

Pei Zhilang shook his head and raised his hand: "No point in talking any more."

Looking at Pei Zhilang in this posture, Yang Xiao could only open his mouth.

Persuade him to leave with reason?

it's useless.

He is not a child, he is an adult who has been in society for a long time. Will he listen to you?

Since you don't know how to do it, why bother talking about it?

It's just that the two of them keep each other company and try their best to help each other.

"Both of you."

The voice came from not far away, it was Yan Song.

He lifted his backpack with a smile and looked at the two of them: "Now that we are ready, let's go."

Yang Xiao and Pei Zhilang looked at each other.

next second.

Yang Xiao suddenly said: "Master Yan, I don't feel safe here."

"Oh?"

Yan Song raised his eyebrows and looked at the boy.

moment.

He chuckled and said:

"I know this is your first time entering a secret realm, so it's normal to feel scared. Don't worry, I'm here with you. Everything will be fine."

"Do you know why it is me who came here, and not the fisherman from Taohaido Gym?"

Yan Song said as he moved forward.

He brushed past the two men until he was close to the red vortex, then stopped and turned around and said with a smile: "Because Cao Gong said that I am a novice in foreign wars but an expert in civil wars."

"Man, you're playing with fire."

Yan Song raised his hands and wiped his hair. Although his face showed the traces of time, his smile was still confident and high-spirited: "This Internet slang was used to evaluate me many years ago."

"Let's go."

Done.

He turned and moved forward, without hesitation, he touched the red vortex: "It's normal to feel a little nauseous at the beginning, you will get used to it slowly..."

As the fingertips touched it, the vortex began to spin violently, like a black hole, shrinking madly towards the vortex.

In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man's body began to gather and disappeared.

...

Volcanic rocks and roiling magma.

The whole body is dark and the lava is solid.

suddenly.

A pair of orange-red pupils opened instantly.

His eyelids opened without warning, but he was not affected at all by being immersed in the magma, which splashed in all directions.

The earth shook and the mountains trembled, and the sound shook the sky.

next second.

His eyes slowly closed, as if they had never been opened.

just.

Looking closer, it seems like He has left a gap.
