Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

The Tea and Cake Museum is generally divided into several sections.

The first floor is set up as per the convention of gyms across the country, with a core fighting/spectating area.

Because of the general system itself, the battlefield is a regular venue in the standard sense, without any special factors.

The second floor is designed as a leisure area, with various small rooms for making tea, cakes, etc., which is in line with the name of the Tea and Cake Hall.

There are also parent-child parks, children's indoor playgrounds and other facilities.

The third floor is the "private space" exclusively for the owner Jin Que.

On this floor, there are mostly rooms that she needs.

As for the fourth floor, it is an area specially prepared for disciples.

The floor plan here is similar to that of a school dormitory, with no private bathroom and only two public bathing spaces.

In addition, there are two large-scale battle venues, which are used for students to train on a daily basis.

now.

Yang Xiao was standing next to a table inside the pastry area on the second floor, bending over to look at the small pastries with green cores in front of him.

Next to the pastry is a small cartoon-style card - Qingqing Cake.

"This is a pastry made by mixing a small amount of rare tree fruits."

Qi Xu only took a look at it twice before losing interest in it: "You can't buy it outside. It's exclusive to this museum."

"My senior sister developed it a long time ago. You know what, it does have a little bit of the effect of the fruit of that tree, so it also sparked a wave of discussion online, but..."

"but……"

Yang Xiao sniffed it gently, then straightened his back and naturally took over the conversation: "It doesn't taste good."

Qi Xu sighed and nodded slightly.

If it tasted good, or the side effects weren't so negligible... maybe Senior Sister wouldn't be so tired.

Yang Xiao looked at the other pastries curiously.

Basically, the designs are relatively "novel", and Yang Xiao has no impression of them at all, so it is estimated that their circulation is very limited.

I'm afraid it has already become a "collection" in the category of "gym specialty".

It's the kind that you just look at but don't eat after you bring it home.

"Pity."

Looking at these pastries, Yang Xiao shook his head with sincere regret.

Once these things are done, there's no guarantee that they will work.

In today's society, this type of food is innumerable, but nearly 90% of them are probably similar to the pastries in front of you.

You say it doesn't work, but it does have some effect.

You say it works, but the effect is better than nothing.

"Nowadays, the best of this type is the dragon blood rice cultivated on Fulong Island."

Qi Xu sat on a chair nearby, looking at the darkness in the distance leisurely, and said casually:

"It is said that this kind of rice is planted next to the berry fruit tree, which causes it to have a certain degree of the effect of the fruit of the tree. When people or Pokémon eat it for a long time, it can offset part of the erosion of dragon energy..."

"That stuff is sold at a very high price. It's even a little cheaper than the rare fruit variety of berry and durian. It can be called the most expensive rice in the world."

Having said that, Qi Xu curled his lips.

He couldn't understand the value of this kind of thing. In his eyes, it was truly useless.

It is a pity that it is tasteless.

Yang Xiao did not comment on this.

He could understand it and was really a little curious, but the production of dragon blood rice was limited and it was generally not available for purchase.

Just then, the sound of footsteps gradually came from the distance.

Bang, bang, bang!

Jin Que, with his hair loose, ran forward with his arms swinging, and did not stop until he reached the two of them.

Looking at his senior sister who was wearing a spotted white pajamas and holding her knees and panting, Qi Xu widened his eyes and stammered, "Senior... Senior Sister? What are you doing..."

"You can actually sleep a little longer."

Yang Xiao lowered his head and glanced at his mobile phone screen, then spoke directly and amiably:

"It's only been about ten minutes since you sent me the message."

"Forget it, I won't sleep."

Jin Que waved his hands and forced himself to stand up straight: "At my age, it's time to work hard...Xiao Yang, shall I take you directly to the fourth floor?"

"it is good."

"Well...but it's actually not time for the students to get up yet."

Jin Que pondered for a moment and said:

"How about this, I'll take you to where you're going to stay first, then take you to the venue to familiarize yourself with it, and finally, after they're all up, I'll let them come over?"

"All right, I'll follow your instructions."

"Uh-huh……"

Jin Que nodded, turned to look at Qi Xu who was fidgeting in his chair, and then glanced at the suitcase next to him: "Junior brother, what are you doing?"

"Just homesick."

"……also."

Jin Que smiled at Qi Xu and said, "Then you can stay with Xiao Yang. There is a room vacated for him with two single beds."

"Good good."

Qi Xu stood up suddenly, with a very obvious smile on his face: "Let's do it."

...

"Don't sleep anymore, get up."

"Um...what time...what time is it?"

"It's half an hour to 7 o'clock, hurry up and get up and wash up. Don't forget what the teacher said last night that a battle instructor will come today, so you can't be late!"

"Oh, it's okay, I'll sleep a little longer, fifteen minutes is enough to wash up... Huhu."

"You...Okay, then I don't care about you. I'll leave first."

Similar words as above are repeated in multiple rooms on the fourth floor.

Among all the current disciples of the Tea Cake Dojo, most of them are those who pay money, so not many of them can stay overnight.

As for those adult students who paid the fees, they actually regarded this place as a top-level training center and did not have any expectations of being able to stay here.

therefore.

When the adult boarding students gathered together, there were only five of them.

Opposite them, Jin Que, who was dressed in formal attire, looked at them seriously without a smile on his face.

"Too slow!"

She shouted angrily, "You are my disciples. If you slack off like this, when will you go on stage to face the challengers and share some of my burden?"

The five of them trembled all over and no one dared to say a word.

Jin Que glared at them in hatred for not fighting back.

The disciples who stay overnight are actually the real disciples of the dojo, and they may inherit the dojo in the future.

But now the strongest among these five people is only at the elite iron level. Let alone fighting against the challenger, in Jin Que's eyes, it would be difficult for him to even get on the kang.

"Hey."

She shook her head, looking worried.

What can we do?

His junior brother, who did not choose to leave like the others after he inherited the gym, is now still in the hospital with his Pokémon.

It is estimated that it will take a few days to fully recover.

During these few days, she was able to handle it completely on her own.

But even if that junior fellow comes back after a while and everything is back to normal, who can guarantee that this situation won't happen again?

Is it going to be like this every time, and am I the one who has to do it every time?

Jin Que put his hands on his hips, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

"Uh."

The voice came from behind her.

Yang Xiao took a step forward and glanced at Jin Que's expression. He immediately realized that she was probably deeply trapped in her "inner demons" and could no longer introduce herself to the five people in front of her.

But it doesn’t matter, he has his own mouth.

"Hello everyone."

Yang Xiao looked around and raised his hand to pull down his mask.

He calmly glanced at every young man of similar age who looked over at him, and then said calmly:

"I am your temporary combat instructor, responsible for all your daily combat training until the 21st..."

The words fell.

Yang Xiao paused, then slowly said: "I should be younger than you. My name is Yang Xiao. I am currently in the third year of high school and a Bright Silver-level professional trainer."

He emphasized the last few words.

"You're welcome, we're all the same age, just call me whatever you want."

Yang Xiao was not at all nervous, and just spoke normally: "Like calling me Teacher Yang?"
