Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

There weren't that many participants in the team battle.

Rather than calling it a "team", it's more like a simple 2v2.

The rewards are not customized by the seeded players like in single-player competitions, but are completely designated by the official.

Although the rewards for the team competition have not yet been made public, many people know them.

It is estimated that it will not be able to deviate from the old reward model of money + fame + items.

However, this time, someone from Yunen Group who did not want to be named said that the rewards for the first team battle might be a little different.

Because he saw that the group transferred a Porygon on duty.

As an artificial Pokémon created in modern times by several global groups with top scientific research capabilities, it possesses "special abilities" that are extremely adaptable to the modern living environment.

But this news has left many people in doubt.

Because in fact, its blockade is more thorough than Rotom's in terms of quantity.

At present, there is no multi-sided beast in the world that can be free from the control of major groups.

All the attributions are recorded and filed?

Yang Xiao didn't take the various discussions on the Internet too seriously.

He is full of confidence in the individual competition, and he focuses on participation in the team competition.

Even though he and Qi Xu are the third highest ranked single seed combination in the currently known team competition.

Even though he and Qi Xu had been getting used to each other for a few days, he still didn't have any expectations for this matter.

Because team competition is not a simple 1+1.

As someone who has experienced the Pokémon game, he is well aware that some "unknown" Pokémon can burst into overwhelming and majestic brilliance in doubles.

There are also some combination moves that are enough to make you unable to stop and feel extreme ecstasy.

I also know that in doubles, the kitchen knife general is not actually that good.

In short.

Yang Xiao still uses the same four words - participation is important (working hard).

Snapped.

In the players' lounge, the chair next to him was pulled away.

It was Qi Xu, who had a smile on his face and had just greeted the contestants who were in the lounge.

"It's so tiring to talk to so many people."

Qi Xu raised his head and moved his shoulders, but the smile on the corner of his mouth revealed his true thoughts.

Yang Xiao saw this and said, "I think you are enjoying it."

"Have it?"

Qi Xu pretended to be ignorant and patted his neck with one hand, but in the end he smiled with great satisfaction:

"Okay, I admit... I really enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by people. Socializing is as sweet as a delicious cake to me."

Yang Xiao looked at him silently and said softly: "Generally speaking, supporting characters who say such things will fall into darkness for such reasons in the later stages and then betray the protagonist."

Hear this.

Qi Xu's narrowed eyes slightly opened, and he pointed at himself casually, then at Yang Xiao: "...Who is the supporting role?"

Yang Xiao sincerely affirmed: "This is more like it."

"Haha."

Qi Xu's carefree laughter made many people turn their heads and look at the two of them curiously.

"Who says good people can't have selfish desires? A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart... Besides, I just like the feeling of being noticed, it's not like I have to die immediately if I lose that feeling."

The words fell.

He was about to add something else when a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Well said, I think so too!"

Yang Xiao and the other man looked over when they heard the voice, and their eyebrows raised in unison.

The visitors were two young men.

Seeing the other side's gaze sweeping over, the two men immediately stopped at the end of the social distance.

The leading boy stood in place and continued to speak enthusiastically to Yang Xiao and Qi Xu:

"Those without selfish desires are saints, but good people don't need to be saints! Hello, I am a student of the Spirit Department of Zhongyu University in this province..."

The voice just fell.

He paused for a moment and added, "They are also the first-round opponents of the two teams."

"Ah, hello."

Qi Xu was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and answered kindly.

Qingxiao University is not a university directly under the provincial government.

But it is one of the few schools in the country that is more famous for its elves than the local universities.

Although they are not in the same district, there is occasional communication between the two schools.

Especially when it comes to the elves, some cooperative activities are often held together.

They are considered "friendly forces".

Although Yang Xiao sat in the chair unmoved, he still nodded politely to the two of them.

Simultaneously.

The information about these two people automatically played in his mind.

The leader is Liu Xing and his partner is Xiao Yu, both of them are junior students.

The names sound familiar, the figures are one thin and one fat, and the signature Pokémon are also very vivid.

A second-stage Infernape from the fourth generation of the Fire-type Starter Pokémon, and a second-stage Toraji from the same generation of the Starter Pokémon.

Although he has not yet reached the final stage of evolution, he can be considered as one of the new generation of professional trainers.

The two sides exchanged a few simple greetings.

But during the communication, the man named Xiao Yu would always suddenly turn his eyes to Yang Xiao.

But when Yang Xiao looked back, he would shift his gaze away again.

At the same time, a hint of shyness appeared on her face.

Ok?

Why are you blushing?

No.

I'm angry, why are you blushing? !

Yang Xiao widened his eyes slightly.

After roaring inwardly, he observed carefully for another two seconds.

Then, as if realizing something, his expression began to harden.

It was not until the two men left and Qi Xu sat back in his chair that he noticed the slightly stiff body of the boy next to him.

"What are you..."

"fine."

Yang Xiao opened his mouth, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice: "Give me all your strength in a moment, and try to defeat them as quickly as possible and send them off."

"Uh... ok."

Although he was a little confused by the boy's sudden desire to fight, Qi Xu still nodded in response:

"These two are just ordinary elf students who wanted to feel the heat of the competition before graduation. I heard that they were both eliminated in the individual preliminaries yesterday... Now that they bumped into us today, they can pack up and go home."

"Ah."

Yang Xiao took a deep breath, stood up and walked towards the passage where the staff opened the door.

At the same time, he instinctively wiped the cold sweat that suddenly appeared on his forehead.

It's just a little... a little wind and frost.

...

Chen Zhen stood in the front row of the media area, holding a high-precision camera to capture the moments of the battle on the field.

With a loud bang, the afterimage on the field instantly turned into a frozen image of the martial arts bear master twisting his hips and stepping forward.

The fighting energy wrapped in its right fist hit the forest turtle that was blocking the Infernape heavily.

The violent impact caused the forest turtle to groan. Its round limbs seemed completely unable to support it, and its entire body began to fall to the ground uncontrollably.

boom!

The agitated soil and sand flew all over the sky.

And at this moment, a strange scene happened.

Another figure of a martial arts bear master emerged from the dust, and its stern expression turned directly towards the Fire Monkey, who was becoming increasingly panicked and instinctively taking a step back.

next second.

The water knife condensed in an instant and flew out of his hand, mercilessly hitting the fire monkey's chest repeatedly.

In the media seats, the corners of Chen Zhen's mouth gradually curled up.

While watching the scene on the field that was about to end, he silently checked some numbers in his mind.

3…2…1!

My finger pressed the button and the sound of quick snapshots was crackling.

And right in his sight, the turbulent sand was blown away by the official blowers at the same time.

Two majestic and burly figures were revealed standing opposite each other on the field, and the Pokémon at their feet that had lost their ability to fight were also revealed.

"All right!"

Chen Zhen licked his lips and almost trembled with excitement.

In his mind, even the title of the next news has been prepared.

That is--

"If one isn't enough, how about two?"

Or: "Can you tell who is who among us?"
