Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

Yang Xiao was the first to reach the top.

At this moment, he was already soaked countless times.

He was even so short of oxygen that he immediately covered his knees and started gasping for breath.

But he didn't rest for long. Instead, he took a short break for two seconds before he straightened his back and looked at the scene in front of him.

The ground was red, with a lava pool in the middle that looked like a hot spring, and on both sides were cliffs that looked like the concave and convex parts of a volcano.

The overall area of ​​the lava pool is large, but it is too ordinary.

This is in stark contrast to the overall good furnishings below.

Yang Xiao frowned and murmured, "Nothing?"

What answered it was the sound of two footsteps coming one after another from behind.

The martial arts bear master who was running hard, and the Cang Yan Blade Ghost who changed his action from lifting to carrying his father, reached the top one after another.

Simultaneously.

The two Pokémon were also looking at each other.

Before the evolution, Martial Arts Bear Master was the absolute ace in Yang Xiao's team.

Even though Electabuzz had a half-restraint attribute after it evolved, I never thought of fighting it.

However, the Blue Flame Blade Ghost, whose attributes were reversed, clearly had the urge to challenge at this moment.

Yang Xiao looked back, then set his sights on the Red Lotus Patriarch.

It's normal to have this kind of thought.

Although he believed that there was a great possibility that Master Wudao Xiong would win in the end.

But giving Cang Yan Ren Gui a chance to challenge after the matter is over is actually no big deal.

"Clan leader."

Yang Xiao looked at it and tilted his head towards the lava pool: "Are you sure it's here?"

【certainly】

The Red Lotus Clan leader landed on the ground, took a few steps forward, and spoke hastily: [The Lord of Lava is in the lava pool]

"But no..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had anticipated something, slowly turned his head and looked into the magma pool again.

When his sight returned to normal, the pool of sticky magma suddenly began to ripple.

Then a gray metallic mask slowly rose from the magma.

A pair of orange-red eyes fell on Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao looked at him silently.

Sure enough, he had woken up a long time ago.

He did not feel fear or shock, but instead had a sense of normalcy.

To be honest, I'm a little numb.

In this regard, Master Wudao Xiong should take full responsibility.

At this moment, the orange-red eyes suddenly moved upwards.

The body, which was obviously not huge, slowly revealed all its vital signs.

His powerful limbs were firmly pounded into the magma, and all sights looking at him would be distorted to a certain extent by the scorching rising temperature of his body.

Occasionally, a hissing sound of evaporation could be heard in the air.

Even though his whole body was exposed, his eyes never left Yang Xiao. His pupils moved slightly, as if he was exploring something.

Yang Xiao's face was calm.

Count your breaths.

Xiduolan did not continue to move forward, but suddenly looked around Yang Xiao.

boom.

The Red Lotus tribe leader knelt on one knee and surrendered.

The body of the Blue Flame Blade Ghost trembled slightly.

It could feel that at this moment, two completely different ideas were fighting against each other in its body.

Half of it comes from the tradition in its ethnic bloodline, and the other half comes from the rebirth of the "Lamp of Shadows" in its soul.

moment.

The Blue Blade Ghost hesitated, and finally bowed slightly.

As for Wudao Master Xiong, he just held his head high.

There was an unusually serious look in its brows, without any hint of joking.

Although there was respect for the strong in the look he gave Xiduolan, that was all.

It actually doesn't know why it is like this.

Why after the evolution, he no longer had the awe he had when he saw Silver Companion Beast and Machado?

instead.

I seem to still have a strange desire to challenge it.

Martial Arts Bear Master pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure out why. Xi Duolan's gaze paused slightly on the Blue Flame Blade Ghost, and finally fixed on Martial Arts Bear Master.

Ok?

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Yang Xiao seemed to see Xiduolan's eyes become a little brighter, but soon became quiet again.

Yang Xiao was silent for a moment.

"Lord of Lava?"

He paused, then slowly said, "We were originally here to protect you, but now it seems that this may not be necessary."

The tone of voice made the Red Lotus Clan leader, who was kneeling on one knee, tremble all over.

Although it has inherited the position of patriarch for a long time, even including this time, it has only been here twice.

Only this time did he see the Lava Lord when he was not in a sleeping state.

Throughout the long history of the tribe, the Xiduolan has not always been in slumber.

The clan leader even heard from the elders that there was a story about a clan ancestor who had the honor of talking to Xi Duolan.

But it never had such luck.

Every once in a while, a wind mixed with sparks would blow from the peak of the sacred mountain.

That was actually Xiduolan's snoring in his sleep.

This "purring" will benefit many fire-attribute Pokémon, but if you think that Theodore is gentle by nature, you might be wrong about it.

Chief Honglian thought to himself: This is the Lava Lord who controls the volcano. Young man, you are really brave.

...

The young man had no idea what the patriarch was thinking.

After finishing the above sentence, he looked at Xi Duolan calmly and said slowly, word by word:

"Now, it's your turn to protect us."

The words fell.

He lowered his eyes slightly and added, "Thank you."

After saying this, he raised his eyes and looked at the Lord of Lava.

Of course, Yang Xiao was not unaware of Xi Duolan's personality.

As a legendary Pokémon born in lava, Yang Xiao would never believe it even if you said he was gentle and considerate.

Pure stereotype.

As for why he was doing this at this moment, it was just to test something.

Ever since he saw that ghost energy was needed to repair the cursed armor, Yang Xiao felt like an invisible hand was always pushing him forward.

And after watching some things, this feeling is even stronger.

and so……

Yang Xiao looked gloomy and said nothing.

Since I became a trainer, every legendary Pokémon I encountered seemed to have a story of mine.

The guy from the Great Tomb Mountain misses me so much, and the silver companion war beast is close to me.

It’s actually a little hard to judge what Machado thinks of Yang Xiao, but for now, he’s leaning towards the positive side.

It is even harder to say about the one associated with the Vajra Pearl.

After all, with His abilities, it is easier for Him to do things.

What about you, Sidoran?

Which one are you?

Yang Xiao raised his head slightly and his body tensed slightly.

In fact, he had already guessed an answer from some previous details.

It is for this reason that he chose to confirm his guess.

The gears of fate seem to be turning all the time.

Xiduolan looked at him silently, and the surroundings were even quieter.

moment.

He suddenly turned his head, and his figure increased at a speed visible to the naked eye in front of Yang Xiao's gaze as he gradually looked up in shock.

Eventually it became so huge that no one could ignore it.

Looking down at the bean-sized Yang Xiao, Xiduolanen was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned around and moved towards the entrance of the peak.

And gradually disappeared from Yang Xiao's sight.

"Ok?"

Yang Xiao blinked, already had the answer in his mind, and breathed a sigh of relief.

next second.

The fire wind howled like a hurricane and buzzed.
