Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

"Hey, Lord Guan, where are you?"

"... "

"The Imperial Capital has sent a message that the energy fluctuations have disappeared. This is consistent with what the analysis team has deduced. Please hurry up and get the Master Ball."

"... "

"If there is any deviation from the plan, please enter the secret realm immediately and use the captured... to suppress their attempts by force."

"... "

"…Um?"

“…bad signal, hung up.”

The rumbling train whizzed past. The bearded man blew his nose and tightened his mountaineering clothes.

He heard that the place he was going to was very cold, so he had to wear more clothes. After all, he hadn't been to a place where it snowed for a long time.

If you don't wear enough, you will feel cold.

This is not okay.

He raised his sunglasses and calmly watched the passing scenes outside the car window.

He didn't have a Pokémon that could fly long distances, and he didn't like the feeling of being in the air without being able to touch the ground.

Therefore, after ruling out the option of flying, he could only make the "painful" choice of changing trains at each stop.

How wonderful this is.

A smile appeared on his weathered face.

No one disturbs me, down to earth.

"What do you think?"

The words fell.

He suddenly lowered his head and patted a Poké Ball on the trainer's belt around his waist, but the latter did not give any response.

The bearded man didn't care.

He just picked up his backpack and said:

"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you... I will choose a good owner for it before it hatches."

This time.

The Poké Ball shook slightly for a moment, then returned to calm.

"It's just that I have a question."

As if sensing the shaking of the Poké Ball, the bearded man lowered his head and asked curiously:

"From the perspective of the egg, you and it are not of the same nature, so why do you care about it so much?"

The Poké Ball did not respond.

"Is this your love?"

The bearded man raised his head, chuckled and shook his head: "Amazing, I didn't expect that you are also a warm-hearted stone."

...

"Get rich."

Pei Zhilang happily put down the paper in his hand, stood up and stretched his waist: "Joy comes so easily."

next to.

Yang Xiao didn't stop writing, just glanced at him and said, "Is your family bankrupt?"

"You do not understand."

Pei Zhilang's mouth was almost reaching the ceiling:

"This is the most money I have ever earned on my own in my life so far... Money is not important. What is important is that my joy comes from the comfort of my soul."

"I see."

Yang Xiao suddenly realized.

I almost forgot that good buddies are half a cancer in the scientific research community.

It is because of my core identity as a capitalist that I have been able to survive to this day as a researcher.

the other side.

Qi Xu, who was forced to sit in a wheelchair, silently looked at the numbers jumping on the tablet computer, and his breathing gradually became rapid.

"One hundred thousand, one million, ten million..."

He raised his head slightly, and it was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress his rising emotions.

But in the end, his voice still trembled and changed a little.

Glancing at Qi Xu's position, Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Qi, you have become the first generation of rich people."

Swish!

Qi Xu pretended to be calm.

But his suddenly clenched fists and flushed face already explained his mood at the moment.

He is really happy.

Even the mature and experienced inner qualities were briefly broken at this moment.

Yang Xiao looked at him and smiled slightly.

Qi Xu's reaction was just as Yang Xiao expected.

Because this person did not come from a wealthy and prominent family, but was a typical small town test-taker.

He built the outline of a ladder through learning and filled it in through his abilities.

This is how I stood out among many public training students and finally got the qualification to participate in a certain program.

In theory, his Pokémon belong to him, but in reality, they are all allocated by the alliance. This is what it means to be a public trainee.

However, these treasures that were given to him, with predicted eight-digit profits if all were sold, may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of people like Yang Xiao who value practical interests more, or tycoons like Pei Zhilang.

But in Qi Xu's own eyes, it was the "one piece" that was enough to help him change his destiny.

"How to say."

After a while, Pei Zhilang ended his self-refreshment and officially entered the sage time.

So he walked up to Yang Xiao and said:

"I have a channel. I can sell treasures of this level at an auction. Can I take you with me?"

"Need not."

Yang Xiao continued to sketch something on the paper: "I'll only bid a little, and I don't think we can go to auction."

"What?"

Pei Zhilang scratched his head in confusion.

In this regard.

Yang Xiao glanced at him and sighed softly.

It can be seen that my good buddy is still feeling refreshed and his brain is not very sharp yet.

Otherwise, there would be no need to ask.

“…It’s the Alliance.”

Qi Xu's gradually calming voice suddenly sounded.

He knocked on the handle of the wheelchair, and the scarf around his neck suddenly turned into a pool of sticky blue liquid.

Then he fell to the ground and transformed into a secret version of Pei Zhilang with a dead fish look on his face.

Snapped!

Really? Pei Zhilang suddenly threw the paper in his hand to the ground:

"Qi Xu, you've almost had enough, I'm really going to get angry."

"Feel sorry."

Qi Xu coughed twice, and Pei Zhilang with dead eyes finally put on his pants.

Then it walked behind the former and pushed the wheelchair forward a few meters:

"This kind of fire stone that grows next to the Lord of Lava is probably extremely rare in the world in terms of purity... If it were to be sold, the Alliance would probably be the first to purchase it."

"Yes."

Yang Xiao took over the conversation and added: "If I were you, I would prepare a few pieces for my family, Lao Pei. They can be used in experiments after all."

"Makes sense."

Pei Zhilang slapped his forehead and laughed:

"Anyway, we've been back for a day, and the king hasn't arrived yet, and he probably won't come right away... I'll go to the post office first and mail a few dollars home."

Watching Pei Zhilang go away, Yang Xiao shook his head.

What post office?

The temporary military district has a Pokémon transport device. You can just put the Fire Stone on the Pokémon and transport it back home, and then bring it back.

at this time.

After a brief silence, Qi Xu suddenly spoke again: "Yang Xiao."

"Ok?"

"Thank you."

A smile gradually appeared on Qi Xu's face, and he looked very sincere: "Without your help, I wouldn't be able to dig up so many treasures."

"……Need not."

Yang Xiao smiled lightly, as if he didn't take it to heart, and continued to write something with his pen:

"That's your own credit."

"Different."

Qi Xu shook his head slightly and said directly: "If it weren't for you, the Tan Clan would never agree to let us take away all the Fire Stones on the top of the mountain."

Yang Xiao smiled slightly and said nothing.

"And the treasures you gave me..."

Qi Xu didn't care about Yang Xiao and just kept talking to himself.

But at the end of his speech, he suddenly looked up at Yang Xiao and said, "I will remember this kindness in my heart."

"That's an exaggeration. We are friends who share weal and woe. Friends don't talk about that."

Yang Xiao chuckled, but still didn't look up immediately.

But the next second, he stopped writing and blew away the ink on the paper.

Subsequently.

He handed it to Qi Xu with a smile on his face.

"This is……"

"Secret Realm Report, Peak Version."

Yang Xiao's smile was like a spring breeze, and he looked well-behaved and sensible: "Can you see if there is anything you want to modify?"
