Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

Central Henan Province ranks quite well in the country, and its GDP ranks among the top five in the country every year.

Perhaps because it is not far from the imperial capital, the architectural styles in the province are mostly similar to those of the imperial capital.

There is even a special "Imperial Capital Street", which completely copies the furnishings of a street in the imperial capital.

As for trainers, Central Henan Province, as one of the well-known provinces in the country, has a particularly strong fighting atmosphere.

Moreover, this province has huge advantages that other cities in the country do not have.

Although it is "strong" enough individually, it is never dealt with alone.

Especially in terms of trainers, they are often closely connected with the neighboring province of Hebei and complement each other.

therefore.

If one really wants to calculate the strength of trainers in Central Henan Province, it would be difficult to exclude trainers in Zhouji Province.

Everyone communicates with each other and cultivates each other.

They also compete with each other and grow with each other.

Looking at the various buildings towering into the sky in front of him, Yang Xiao put his hands in his pockets, raised his head, and said nothing.

beside him.

Qi Xu, wrapped in a big cotton-padded jacket and wearing a red scarf, sniffed.

His face and ears turned red from the cold wind.

But he didn't seem to care about it at all. He just slowly closed his eyes, as if full of nostalgia, but smiled freely:

"Finally home."

No one will know what he was thinking when he was ordered to leave his hometown.

No one would know how complicated his mood was at this moment.

"what."

The white mist exhaled went all the way down, and Yang Xiao also blew his nose.

Then he turned his head and looked at the densely packed crowd coming in and out.

now.

He was wearing a mask and standing at the main entrance of the North Railway Station in Central Henan Province, feeling the flow of people coming and going around him.

Count your breaths.

"Let's go."

After enjoying the snow breeze from his hometown for a while, Qi Xu slowly opened his eyes and enthusiastically placed his hand on the shoulder of the boy beside him:

"Let me take you to the hotel and get a room first?"

"if not?"

Yang Xiao calmly took off his arm, then pulled his hand out of his pocket and grabbed his small suitcase:

"I'm going to sleep on the ground in the park. It's almost dark."

"Hey, are you still angry?"

Qi Xu nudged Yang Xiao with his shoulder, then paused, and suddenly changed into that awkward voice, choking:

"Oh, my Lord, you are so generous..."

"vomit."

Qi Xu's smile froze.

"Excuse me."

Yang Xiao covered his mouth apologetically, then became confused:

"Am I more attractive to people like you? Why does everyone around me become so twisted in the end?"

Hear this.

Qi Xu suddenly paused, then as if he remembered something, he smiled and said:

"Because it's reassuring, young man."

"Although I haven't been with you for a long time, I can feel that you are methodical and solid in your work. I don't even have to think about it."

"I am the same. The longer they spend with you, the more they will trust you, just like an animal will expose its belly to its unsuspecting companions."

"Okay, stop talking."

Yang Xiao curled his lips and stretched out his hand to signal Qi Xu to stop fooling around:

"I apologize. You are better than them. At least you tried to use encouraging words to PUA me."

“Hahaha… cough cough.”

Qi Xu laughed twice at first, then looked away awkwardly:

"Let's go to the hotel and put all the luggage away first, and then I'll take you to visit our famous commercial street in Zhongyu."

...

There are many commercial streets in Zhongyu, the most famous of which is called "Guilin Road".

The reason why it is famous is not just because of the brightly lit food street every night.

More importantly, at the end of this commercial street, there is a building that is very famous in the province——

Zhongyu Olympic Sports Center.

Although this competition center is not as big as those famous national stadiums, its area is indeed not small.

even.

It can be said to be the largest unofficial competitive center in the country, bar none.

The outer perimeter is a five-story square hollow building that can accommodate hundreds of people participating in battles at the same time, and there are all kinds of different but highly professional arena venues.

And right in the center of the competition center is an open-air sports field.

If you want to fill the auditorium, there must be at least five or six thousand people.

The original founder of the Central Henan Olympic Competition Center was the Yun'en Group, a top Chinese giant focused on electronic communications equipment.

At that time, the cost of building this competition center was astronomical.

And to this day, I heard that the cost has not been recovered.

...

“The dual-province professional competition will be held here.”

Qi Xu held a bowl of steaming cold noodles and tilted his head forward towards Yang Xiao who was eating heartily beside him:

“Isn’t it spectacular?”

"Spectacular."

Yang Xiao glanced at the shape in the distance with several white clouds carved on it, and the huge 3D image screen in the center:

“But it shouldn’t make money.”

"Uh."

Qi Xu choked with a slightly proud look:

"For Yun En Group, whether this thing makes money or not may not be that important."

"I do not know then."

Yang Xiao calmly stuffed the empty paper bowl into the trash can beside him, then looked ahead again.

The flow of people is really not small.

There were huge crowds of people at the entrance, and a large number of security personnel in fluorescent uniforms were seriously directing the crowded crowd to disperse.

At a glance, there were some people handing out flyers.

"Bro."

Just as Yang Xiao was observing silently, footsteps suddenly came from the distance.

Then a young man wearing a hat with a cloud pattern on his head was running towards here quickly.

Yang Xiao was quick-witted and quickly pulled the mask upwards.

When the other party approached, he took two deep breaths, and then distributed the flyers in his hand to the two of them in turn:

"I see you two have been here for a long time. Are you interested in the battle inside?"

Yang Xiao didn't say anything, and Qi Xu replied casually, "Not bad."

"That's a coincidence."

The young man's eyes lit up and he said enthusiastically:

"In a few days, the preliminaries of the first joint professional competition between the two provinces will officially begin. You can buy your tickets now, and then you can watch the competition at the competition venue for a whole day."

"Yo."

Qi Xu lowered his head with a smile, and repeatedly looked at the information on the flyer: "That's really good, but we don't need it for now."

The young man was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "You can get a discount..."

"do not mean that."

Qi Xu laughed loudly, pointed at the boy next to him, and then pointed at himself:

"We are contestants in the competition... although we haven't officially registered yet."

"what?"

"Okay, thank you."

Qi Xu patted the young man's shoulder, turned around and waved to Yang Xiao, then walked towards the venue: "Let's go, I'll take you to register."

Count your breaths.

"Pooh."

After watching the two people go away, the young man spat on the ground and curled his lips:

"Registration has already closed, okay? Does this cup have to be filled?"

"But, that boy..."

The young man tilted his head, looking thoughtful: "I seem to have seen him somewhere before, who was he?"
