Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

Even more excited than the contestants are the young journalist friends who have just entered the workplace.

The news industry is not easy to work in.

The vast majority of capable people will work hard in the direction of the host.

As for the journalistic profession, which is euphemistically called the "pillar of journalism", it doesn't matter if one is not professionally trained.

But in this situation, young journalists who have just graduated and have dreams are eager to have a suitable news work that can help them quickly gain a foothold.

Big, popular events are opportunities.

They know that experienced predecessors have official channels and will target the seeded players who are more likely to produce hits.

So they can only bet on other players.

What if an unknown contestant becomes famous overnight?

Looking at the anxious looks of his young colleagues, Chen Zhen's eyes were filled with nostalgia for the past.

He's been through this time, too.

Although it was bitter, it was also a precious memory.

Wipe the lens and organize the documents.

After doing all this, Chen Zhen chewed gum and looked towards the elevator, then turned to look at the stairs.

Where should I enter from?

As a popular editor and ace reporter for a popular online news column, he was slapped in the face with an invitation letter on the first day that Yun En Group decided to market the event.

He was officially invited.

This makes him more direct than those "predecessors". After all, although they have the information, they need to ask the other party one by one whether they can and are willing to be interviewed.

He doesn't need it.

He can apply on his own initiative and then the event officials will arrange it.

He had already chosen the person in his mind after reading the invitation letter.

Not the players who are ranked at the top of the seeds.

Instead, he is a young man who is considered by the public to be quite capable and will surely be a master in two years. But the focus is on the young man who will be just a bonus in two years.

I heard that his predicted ranking is 18th?

"...Really."

Chen Zhen chuckled, not knowing what to say.

The professional analysis team of the listed company may not necessarily underestimate Yang Xiao’s martial arts bear master.

It is even possible that they only considered Master Wudao Xiong's strength in their scoring.

As for the newly announced Azure Blade and Electabuzz, they are probably just side dishes in the eyes of the official.

If we count only or mainly Master Wudao Xiong, then it is not out of the ordinary that they only gave him the No. 18 seed.

After all, considering the total number of more than a thousand participants, becoming the 18th favorite to win with just one Pokémon is considered to be among the top.

"Ugh."

Thinking of this, Chen Zhen sighed slowly.

But it was different for him because he trusted the boy very much.

The reason was not only because his aunt and the boy's teacher were a loving couple, but more because of his own eyes.

At first.

He was standing far away and saw with his own eyes the young man talking to the gang king in Taohai Gym in a dignified manner.

and so.

He trusts his own inner choices more than speculation based on professional data.

The last interview established his ace position in the company.

What about this time?

Chen Zhen spat the tasteless chewing gum into the paper, crumpled it into a small ball and threw it into the trash can, then slowly moved towards the stairs with his assistant following him.

This time, maybe we can reach a higher level.

...

"Please, contestants from the first round of Area A, enter the venue in an orderly manner and stand on your respective battle fields! I repeat, Area A, please..."

"Please strictly abide by the signed player contracts. It is forbidden to withdraw early, give up before the battle, or refuse to appear. Otherwise, Yunen Group's legal department will pursue your breach of contract according to the rules and regulations."

"It is forbidden to temporarily replace the props that are inconsistent with the registered ones, and it is forbidden to replace the Pokémon that are not registered..."

"Please respect the competition and your status as a trainer."

“Please don’t leave any regrets and fight hard on the field... The first dual-province professional competition will remember your presence and sweat!”

The gentle voice is transmitted to the lounge through expensive equipment, just like a real person standing next to you giving advice.

Many people had flames burning in their eyes, and some even turned around immediately to look at the young man sitting in the last seat.

Is this boy the strongest in the room?

In this regard.

The young man crossed his legs and glanced at them indifferently.

The adrenaline of these people has been slowly rising, and it is obvious that the broadcast has aroused their passion.

Quite cute.

Only people with strong empathy would do this.

The boy looked away, his expression still calm.

It is difficult for him to be moved by what others say, and he can only do it if he wants to...but this does not mean that he does not like people with strong empathy.

Because such people are more suitable to be friends, and you can confide in them...

Ok.

Yang Xiao would not confide his true feelings to others, but he also sincerely believed that such a friend would make him feel at ease.

Clang.

The door on the right was opened and a young man poked his head in. After taking a look around, his eyes were fixed on the boy at the end.

"found it."

With a whisper, the young man straightened his clothes and walked towards the boy.

Swah——

"Hello."

A security guard stopped them with a frown on his face, his eyes fixed on the camera in the hands of his assistant behind him, and said seriously: "This is the preparation lounge, reporters are not allowed..."

"Sorry for not telling me in advance."

The young man put his hands in his pockets and took out a work ID: "I am a special reporter. I will not disturb everyone's rest. I am just doing a simple interview with an individual. I am really sorry."

Done.

He bowed slightly with a sincere attitude.

"This...that's okay."

The security guard hesitated for two seconds, and finally moved away.

that's it.

Under the gaze of the contestants, the young man walked all the way to the boy and sat down on the chair next to him without any hesitation.

"coming?"

"kindness."

Chen Zhen opened his backpack, took out his notebook skillfully, and then looked at Yang Xiao helplessly:

"When you sent me a message, I actually anticipated that our meeting would be like this."

"Haha, this is easier."

Yang Xiao smiled faintly: "Of course, if you don't like it, we can also move to the side passage."

"No, just here."

Chen Zhen waved his hand, and his assistant had already found the right position with the camera.

Then the young man said, "Contestant Yang Xiao, do you have any goals for the competition?"

Such a direct question?

Yang Xiao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, but he did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "Of course it's the champion."

“Do you have confidence?”

"of course."

"Even if you only have three Pokémon participating in the competition?"

"Yes."

Yang Xiao nodded calmly, his eyes fixed on the camera lens, confidence oozing out from his smile:

"I knew at the beginning of the tournament that a lot of people would feel sorry for me..."

"They think I might be even better in two years. I've also seen some comments from fans who don't understand why I'm participating in such a big event and think it will hinder my future."

"I appreciate your suggestions and understand your concerns, but..."

Yang Xiao paused for a moment, and the smile on his face became brighter: "I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains."

“And the prerequisite for standing on the mountain top is to climb the mountain.”

"thank you all."
