Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

In the entire Vortex Red Earth, no tribe is more spectacular and larger than the tribe that Tan Xiaoshi belongs to.

They have been guarding in front of hundreds of active volcanoes for a long time, and have the best living environment for fire attributes in the entire secret realm.

Ever since Yang Xiao first met Tan Xiaoshi, he remembered some details of the moment when the latter poured out his heart to him.

Although he had never asked the other party in person, after seeing the living environment of other ethnic groups in the secret realm, there was no need to ask others.

I understand the ecological status of Tan Xiaoshi and his tribe.

At first.

Tan Xiaoshi once told him personally that there was information about the "village" among the tribe.

In such a wild place, the fact that they can reproduce and clearly understand the meaning of "village" is enough to prove their strong strength in the local area.

only……

With sand blowing in his face, Yang Xiao lowered his head and sat on the back of the Wind Speed ​​Dog, silently looking at the little Tan servant in his arms who seemed to be getting more and more uneasy.

He really didn't expect that his identity as a charcoal servant seemed a bit special?

I thought you were a Pokémon who was in the same situation as I was, unwilling to be confined to the status quo, but I didn't expect you to be a young nobleman who concealed your family background.

Feeling the trainer's gaze, Tan-sama scratched his head a little unnaturally, and then touched his butt instinctively.

It’s over.

It's really gonna happen.

Yan Song brought all the Pokémon with him on this trip.

However, as the gym owner, he knew that he had to follow the rules, so he only brought his own team out.

In this regard, Yang Xiao thought that he should learn from his unruly teacher. At most, he could carry six in public and hide a few in secret.

If Huo Jun goes out, six are not enough.

They usually carry out a pile of baskets, so it is easier to deal with enemies on weekdays (?)

In Yan Song's Pokémon configuration, in addition to the main combat force Infernape, there are also Arcanine and Flamehorse, which are famous for their speed.

The former carried Yang Xiao, while he drove the latter himself.

As for Pei Zhilang, he was currently dangling on the neck of the leader, the duck-billed fire beast.

"Slow down, slow down."

Pei Zhilang swayed back and forth, looking a little dazed: "It's too high. I really want to vomit."

The duck-billed fire beast turned a deaf ear and just ran as hard as it could.

It had visited the Tan tribe and had the honor of entering Zhengcun and talking to the majestic Tan tribe leader.

Therefore, he once happened to see a taciturn charcoal servant beside the other party.

That is the one in the arms of the two-legged beast.

If it wasn't really familiar with the man's face, even if the two-legged beast released the other charcoal servants it had never seen before, it would certainly not lead everyone to such a shortcut to the charcoal tribe.

Who knows if you have used threats and bribes to bribe Tan Xiaoshi in order to temporarily stabilize me?

But if it was that person's youngest son...

The Platypus didn't think any more, but lowered its body and walked faster.

...

In the completely opposite direction, several dark shadows stood silently, looking towards the bottom of the cliff.

Count your breaths.

They slowly turned around and looked at the masked man in the crowd.

The masked man clenched his fist, put it in front of the mask and coughed twice, as if he was a little embarrassed:

"This... I guess you can't blame me, right? The fire element is indeed overflowing."

Everyone was silent and kept silent.

You're right.

This huge and deeply hidden Fire Stone deposit is indeed full of energy...but are we here just for it?

We climbed such a high mountain for it?

For it, we take risks and go through so much trouble to enter the secret realm?

what?

Do we have some serious illness that requires us to come in and play Gold Miner?

half an hour.

The leading man in the bamboo hat took a deep breath and said, "Sumeru."

"Hey."

"Did you do this on purpose?"

"of course not."

Feeling the other party's anger that was about to be suppressed, Xumi waved his hands and explained:

"The burning bugs can sense where fire energy gathers, so this kind of mineral deposit is naturally included in it, so..."

"But this isn't the legendary boarding place!"

The man in the bamboo hat finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted out with murderous intent:

"Xumi, when this mission was first called, you volunteered to join. The leader thought about it and finally agreed to let you in..."

As he spoke, the man in the bamboo hat turned around and slowly approached Xumi:

"The leader never does useless things. Since he chose you, a rebel who worships the dwarf, he must be able to use you."

The man in the bamboo hat obviously couldn't control his emotions anymore, and even lost his usual stable temperament:

"You've led us astray again. If this is all you are capable of, the leader would never let you in! Tell me, what do you want to do? What is your intention!?"

Swish!

The man in the bamboo hat has stopped in front of the masked man. The gauze of his hat sways with the violence of his movements, revealing his violent and ferocious expression underneath.

Beside him, several figures reached for their waists without hesitation, grasped the most commonly used Poké Balls in their hands, and stared at Xumi together.

In the entire action team, except Xumi, all the others are the leader's subordinates.

As long as the man in the bamboo hat utters the word "kill", they will surely turn Xumi into ashes in an instant.

In this regard.

Xumi looked around, chuckled after a moment, and shook his head.

"No wonder the Chief is so determined to restore the glory of Hyena. Today I finally understand his idea. You are simply reckless... No, it should be said that you are stupid to a certain extent."

"He admitted it."

Black Leech, who had been watching from the side, licked his lips, his eyes flashing with a mixture of cruelty and excitement: "I'm going to kill him now!"

"Haha, I really have nothing to say to you guys."

Xumi sneered twice again, then spread his hands and said nothing.

"Wait a minute."

At this moment, the man in the bamboo hat suddenly pushed the black leech who was about to step forward and said in a cold voice: "Xumi, what do you want to say?"

"team leader……"

"Let him speak."

"[Zhongzheng]"

Black Leech widened his eyes and looked at the man in the bamboo hat in disbelief: "He can speak eloquently, and you still don't understand..."

"Shut up!"

The man in the bamboo hat turned around and shouted, interrupting Black Leech's words: "Get lost!"

Black Leech's cheeks twitched slightly, his breathing became more rapid, and finally he turned around and kicked over the backpacks they were carrying.

The backpack rolled and fell off the cliff, just like his mood at the moment.

The man in the bamboo hat ignored him and looked at Xumi again.

Xumi held the frightened burning insect in his arms, remained silent for a moment, and said softly:

"Is the mineral deposit here big enough? Is the fire element abundant? This is one of the only two large places in the entire secret realm, and it is the closest to our location. What's wrong with me coming here first?"

"Then why not go to the biggest place?"

far away.

Black Leech's voice was mixed with resentment: "How can anyone believe such a lie? Zhongzheng, ah Zhongzheng, you are unworthy of the third seat..."

“Because the biggest place is just too big.”

Xumi suddenly said loudly:

"The elemental sensing there is so much that it's outrageous. I suspect there is a large Pokémon population there, far beyond the Rhydon we encountered before!"

Black Leech's voice choked, and then fell silent.

Xumi sneered twice and said:

"If I really went there first, and if there were heavy casualties, would you accuse me of having ulterior motives?"

"You have no patience, yet you still want to accomplish great things? The organization has repeatedly failed in Shenzhou because of people like you!"

"Who on earth came up with the idea to openly attack the Alliance Center and eradicate the branch?"

"Who was it that acted on his own initiative, confronted the champion in the Ten Miles Mountains and showed his heroic qualities, but then missed the stone tablet? He's really awesome... If you ask me, why would you save such a person? Just let him fart and kill him."

"Look at you guys. The leader has so many heroes under his tutelage. You single-handedly assisted the United Nations in eradicating the organization's background. You guys are all world peace ambassadors...

"All right."

The man in the bamboo hat suddenly spoke, his voice returning to its previous hoarseness: "I know, I wronged you."

Stop scolding me, I really wanted to rebel. My eyes went dark when I heard the news.

The words were like sharp knives, piercing my heart.

Xumi snorted twice and said no more.

But no one noticed that behind the mask, cold sweat ran down the bridge of his nose, causing his face to strangely fluctuate in an awkward manner.

"I understand your concerns. I get it."

The man in the bamboo hat chose his words and added, "You don't have to worry about your safety. I am ranked third and I have brought many Pokémon. It's just a tribe. We can set off immediately."

"Better so."

Xumi raised his feet and passed by him.

"but……"

Sudden.

The voice sounded behind him again.

"I know that you have a bead in your hand, which is the key to this journey."

The voice of the man in the bamboo hat was gentle, yet seemed to be full of meaning:

"I'm afraid I won't be able to fully protect you while fighting with the tribe. For the sake of the mission, please hand him over to me."

"Don't worry, my reputation for loyalty is well known to everyone in the organization. I will never abandon you after you've done your job. I will do my best to protect you, even if the organization really falls apart... I will definitely protect a person like you."

Xumi stopped and was silent for a moment.

Amid the red sand, someone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

for a long time.

A good word spreads all around.
