Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

"Do you have any experience in fighting?"

"Different battles, different enemies, will have different solutions."

"Hmm... slurp slurp, then what do you think is the most important thing when it comes to teaching children?"

"patience."

"What about the adults?"

"strength."

"Slurp...what else?"

"The second is that it varies from person to person...General training, I only need these two methods."

After a short pause, Yang Xiao said, "Strictly speaking, 12-year-olds are no longer considered children in the full sense of the word, but patience is still important to them."

“And for the adult group, ‘patience’ is not that important. What is important is whether we can make them feel that they are getting stronger faster.”

Yang Xiao continued calmly: "And I know very well how to quickly improve the opponent's strength in a short period of time."

The words fell.

The young man shifted his gaze and looked at the woman opposite him who seemed to be buried in a large iron bowl.

Qi Xu, who was beside him, twitched his mouth slightly.

Opposite.

Jin Que just kept slurping his noodles, as if he didn't hear what Yang Xiao said clearly, and never looked up.

Count your breaths.

“Slurp… ah!”

The gulp sound disappeared, and Jin Que leaned back on the sofa with a satisfied look on his face, casually wiping his mouth with his wrist.

"good to eat."

She rubbed her belly through her clothes and said, "Sour and spicy beef noodles, I would like to call it the treasure among noodles."

“…I disagree with that.”

Yang Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and then he suddenly said:

"I think spicy beef noodles may be more authoritative, especially Chef Moo's brand."

Qi Xu looked at the two people dimly.

Jin Que touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "...It does make sense."

"what?"

Qi Xu couldn't help but lean forward and asked, "Did I miss it? What's the point?"

Jin Que ignored him and looked at Yang Xiao, saying solemnly: "Sour and spicy is more business-like, but spicy is more sporty. It's really hard to choose between the two."

"No, who's doing sports? Who... who's doing business?"

"It's not difficult to choose. Trust me."

Yang Xiao ignored the noise and just gave the woman in front of him a thumbs up, saying seriously: "My grandfather said before that Xiangla was a big shot..."

"Okay, damn it."

Qi Xu stood up suddenly, first waved his palm towards Yang Xiao, then waved his palm towards Jin Que: "That's enough."

The words fell.

No one spoke in the room.

Count your breaths.

The woman and the boy suddenly looked at each other and smiled.

"You're really quick, kid."

Jin Que stretched out his arms, straightened his back, and the beads on his neck collided with each other, making a rustling sound:

"You're so quick to praise me. You can even talk to me about this?"

See this.

Qi Xu shyly turned his eyes away, while Yang Xiao instinctively glanced at him and then fixed his eyes on Jin Que's expression.

“It has regressed.”

He smiled implicitly: "I'm quite abstract, and my friend is even more abstract. We've been together for a long time, so we can connect with each other a little faster..."

"…Do you have anything else to ask? Or how do you feel about me?"

"pretty good."

Jin Que looked at the boy and decided to tell the truth: "But I still have a question for you."

"You say."

"What you just said is that it can help people improve their strength quickly in a short period of time."

Jin Que looked at the young man, his eyes reflecting his every move and expression: "I may not ask about the method for now, but won't this affect their mentality in future training?"

"Some of my adult students are paid, but some are not."

In this regard.

Yang Xiao’s expression remained unchanged: “…it may indeed affect your mentality.”

But he calmed down and said slowly and naturally:

"After all, I only have time for a short period of time, and once people have tasted the sweetness, it is difficult to accept a life of following the rules."

"Oh? You don't hide anything from me?"

"no point."

Yang Xiao shook his head gently: "You have already noticed it, haven't you? And I thought the adult group were all paid disciples you collected."

"Whether it is or not, it's wrong for you to do this, kid."

Hear the words.

Yang Xiao looked a little hesitant, his eyes full of distress.

Finally, he lowered his eyes, as if he had an epiphany, and finally said softly: "I'm grateful for your advice."

"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."

Jin Que breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled happily:

"I've heard people talk about you. Even at the recent Badge Challenge, there were people talking about you in the audience..."

"...Undoubtedly, this is a good thing. Seeing you now, I also believe that after you understand the truth today, you will become more and more outstanding in the future."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and touched her neck.

Yang Xiao, who was sitting opposite her, lowered his head, his face full of confusion after a sudden realization, but mixed with a bit of innocence.

next to.

Qi Xu looked at Yang Xiao with increasing suspicion.

"Here, this string of beads is for you."

Jin Que put a string of white beads into the bewildered young man's hands and said with a smile, "Seek good fortune and avoid disaster, and seek peace of mind in the future."

Yang Xiao looked at the woman in front of him in confusion, his eyes sparkling, as if something was moving:

"Thank you... ahem, thank you, Master Ima."

"What do you mean Master Jin? Just call me Sister Que from now on."

"well."

Yang Xiao sniffed and just managed a smile, but then he seemed to have thought of something and his expression suddenly became lonely: "Sister Que, then I, I..."

"you?"

"I...this...temporary tutor..."

"what!"

Looking at the frustrated boy, Jin Que seemed to have suddenly realized something, and then blinked his eyes: "Speaking of which, how is your level of Bright Silver?"

"Ahem, interrupt me."

Seeing that it was his turn to take the stage, Qi Xu stood up and told his senior sister about his previous dispute with Yang Xiao.

"Really? That's good."

Jin Que heaved a sigh of relief again:

"This saves time on testing. I don't know Qi Xu's strength, but when I gave him that Ditto, it was already at the Bright Silver level... Can you sign the contract today?"

"Ok, Ok."

The young man stood up suddenly, his expression vividly showing what it means to be ecstatic: "That's great, I thought there was no hope!"

"Haha."

Jin Que smiled and shook his head, then stood up and walked out the door: "Then wait a moment, I'll go print the contract."

"Bye, Sister Magpie."

Yang Xiao waved goodbye.

After watching Jinque leave the room, the smile on his face gradually disappeared and finally returned to his calm appearance.

"Ah."

Qi Xu looked at him with a sneer on his face: "I said your mood was not right, and it really showed its true colors."

"But I just go with the flow."

The moisture in Yang Xiao's eyes had faded away: "I've just reached adulthood, isn't it normal to do wrong things? Isn't it normal to 'turn over a new leaf'? How wonderful it is."

“It’s emotionally deceiving.”

“No, it’s mutually beneficial.”

Yang Xiao glanced at Qi Xu and said casually, "She gained the emotional value provided by me, and I gained the contract I wanted. This should be a win-win situation for us, my friend."

Qi Xu opened his mouth, but could not say anything.

"Don't worry, Qi Xu."

Yang Xiao put the backpack on his back in front of his chest and looked down at the elf eggs in the bag:

"I have no ill intentions. I just want to be more cautious. After all, calling her Sister Que is more intimate than calling her the owner."
