Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

"Right here."

In the red sand, a group of people stopped and silently watched the masked man who spoke.

He raised his head and looked around, then squatted on the ground again, turned to the man in the bamboo hat and whispered:

"Over there, that's the energy gathering place I mentioned."

The man in the bamboo hat nodded silently.

First of all.

The suspicion of Xumi in his heart has been completely cleared so far.

Because there is no difference here from his previous description.

Second.

He originally thought that perhaps Xumi had exaggerated his evaluation of this place.

But it seems that what he said is true.

There really is an established Pokémon community here.

This kind of ethnic ecology is actually quite rare in other secret realms.

This complete tribal-like way of survival is more like the "ultimate evolutionary form" of all secret Pokémon tribes.

So it’s incredible to see the embryonic form of the tribe here.

"team leader."

Xumi continued to look at the black stone wall in the distance with his back bent. He thought of something and whispered again:

"The gathering place of fire-attribute energy, besides these Pokémon, should also be in the volcano behind this group."

"I saw."

The man in the bamboo hat spoke hoarsely: "You did a good job. I'll remember it."

in the crowd.

Black Leech smiled coldly, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"Let's go."

The man in the bamboo hat stood up and straightened his clothes.

Even though he was about to explode with heat, the black clothes were the symbol of villains and he really couldn't take them off.

Just shaking the clothes and trying to wring out the sweat:

"It's a pity for these ethnic groups. In fact, they are developing quite well... What a pity."

He said "what a pity" twice, as if he really felt pity.

The face beneath the Xumi mask was expressionless.

False kindness.

"Wait a minute."

"Ok?"

Looking at Xumi who stretched out his hand to stop him, the man in the bamboo hat looked at him with some confusion.

Xumi sighed:

"Captain, don't be reckless. The energy in those volcanoes is so strong that it makes my burning insects tremble."

In his arms, the burning worm paused for a moment or two.

Then he began to tremble slightly.

Xumi did not hesitate and continued, "How about we prepare first and then take action later in the night?"

"……Need not."

The man in the bamboo hat was silent for a moment, then chuckled:

"I took a look and found that the Pokémon guarding the gate are all below the sixth stage. They pose no threat to me."

"If we extrapolate based on this, the Pokémon inside may not be that outstanding."

"Yeah? What are you worried about?"

At this moment, sarcastic voices were heard among the crowd.

Black Leech sneered and took a few steps forward, but he didn't look at Xumi. He just patted the gravel on his body and said slowly:

"Both cadres are here, there is nothing to worry about... Xumi, are you stalling for time?"

“Besides, this tribe may seem good, but in reality, they lack strength. They are just an empty shell. There may not be any legends in those volcanoes.”

"If there is a real connection, why isn't there even a single Stage 6?"

The man in the bamboo hat glanced at the black leech.

Although his thoughts were similar to Black Leech's, he was becoming more and more annoyed with him at this moment.

Just once or twice.

You have targeted Xumi time and again. Is it because of different factions, or is it because your personal preferences override the organization's mission?

No wonder you've never been promoted.

The man in the bamboo hat's disgust for him almost overflowed from his hat.

Hei Zhi naturally didn't know this, so he couldn't see it either. When he opened his mouth to speak, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up under the Sumeru mask.

Thank you, Black Leech.

You are indeed a stereotyped character.

"I guarantee that in those volcanoes behind the tribe, there are legendary Pokémon or slabs of stone."

Xumi pointed over there and said calmly, "Since this tribe was established before the volcano, it is difficult to say whether it is related to the legend or the stone slab."

"For example, offering sacrifices, guarding, etc."

"If it is really related, then without knowing the details, we are bound to fail... If we fail, it will directly alert the enemy."

"so……"

Xumi took a deep breath and turned serious:

"I suggest that we use these few hours to circle the mountain and make sure that a violent attack is the only way out. Secondly, we should release flying Pokémon to conduct reconnaissance from high in the sky."

The man in the bamboo hat touched his chin thoughtfully and nodded slightly.

That makes sense.

Black Leech's breathing gradually became heavier, and after repeating this several times, his fists clenched slightly, but he finally restrained himself.

Of course he knew that the captain was probably disgusted with him.

He knew more clearly that his best option now was to make peace with Xumi.

At least on the surface, they have turned hostility into friendship.

This is indeed difficult for him to do.

He joined the Hyenas and became a terrorist because here he could do whatever he wanted without restraint.

You can suppress anyone who is inferior to you at will.

Normally, he would live like this unless he met cadres with higher power than him.

This caused ordinary members to be afraid when they saw him, but he got used to it and was secretly happy.

Bullying is addictive.

But this bastard Xumi is different.

At the beginning, he just wanted to put on an act and target the reserve cadres who, in his impression, he could control at will, so as to leave a good impression on the captain of the third seat.

But what he didn't expect was that Xumi didn't buy his tricks and didn't even give him any face.

I confronted him head-on several times in a row, making him lose all face.

So far, the captain clearly values ​​Xumi's words more than his own.

This feeling made him particularly uncomfortable.

His heart felt like it was being eaten by thousands of ants, and gradually the only thing left in his sight was Xumi wearing a white human-face mask.

Sudden.

Xumi's head turned towards him for a moment.

Through the two round eye sockets, Hei Zhi clearly saw the other person's eyes slowly bending into crescents.

There seems to be sarcasm and contempt in it.

The black leech's rapid breathing suddenly stopped, and a sound like iron sand rubbing against metal came:

"Captain, he is really lying to you. He is just stalling for time. There is something wrong with him."

"..."

The man in the bamboo hat looked straight ahead, glanced at the black leech beside him, and then looked at Xumi on the other side.

In his previous suggestion, he actually preferred black leech.

Because for him, fast break is the most suitable method. Even if the situation inside is really difficult, it is very easy for him to retreat safely.

This group has enough packaging but not enough hardware. What Black Leech said is true.

If there is a connection, how could it be just this?

Not to mention, their team members this time are not bad.

But if you say that what Xumi said is problematic and unacceptable, that’s not true.

Forget it.

After all, Xumi is not very strong. I don’t know that the higher the level of the Pokémon, the bigger the gap will be.

and.

Although this tribe is very close to the volcano, judging from their strength, they do not seem to be related to the legend.

Even if there are, the legends are probably in a dormant state. They have not received any help for a long time and can only stay here to guard.

Sudden.

The man in the bamboo hat shook his head and was about to say something when the roar in the distance instantly suppressed his voice and the sparks in his face burned his clothes.

"…Just do as Xumi says and be a good general."

He made the final decision in a split second.

He extinguished the sparks on his body, and looked at the volcano in the distance with his pupils contracted. The smile under his hat became increasingly fanatical:

"Observe carefully to see if there are any other ways to sneak in."

"Then, we will all gather our strength and wait for the night to fall... Once the right opportunity arises, I will see Him within half an hour."
