Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"Oh!"

The two knives collided, making a crisp sound.

The sloppy man stepped back, holding a knife that was emitting a cold light in his hand. The knife was about twenty centimeters long, slightly longer than Wang Jin's knife.

"I was wrong, are you a fellow traveler?" the man asked in a low voice.

Wang Jin did not respond and looked at his other hand which was holding the Poké Ball tightly.

Now Wang Jin has lost the initiative. If he continues to fight, he will most likely lose without knowing the strength of the opponent's Pokémon.

Besides, this place is not very far from the tunnel entrance. If there are signs of Pokémon fighting, the two security guards of unknown strength will definitely run back.

"Hmph..." Wang Jin snorted coldly and nodded, slowly turning the blade.

The sloppy man also put away his knife, then took two steps back, raised his palm to indicate to keep his distance, and then quickly walked in another direction.

"That..." A timid voice suddenly came from behind Wang Jin.

He looked back and saw that it was the short-haired boy who was at the tunnel entrance before, who just happened to walk here.

The short-haired boy swallowed his saliva, his eyes lingering on Wang Jin's pocket where he put his knife. Then he tremblingly took out two alliance coins and said:

"Brother, this is my tuition fee, don't do anything..."

Wang Jin glanced at the amount and found that both bills were worth 5,000. The short-haired boy spent 10,000 Alliance coins.

But Wang Jin did not reach out to take it, but whispered:

"Fold it into a square and throw it over."

Although the short-haired boy looked weak, he had no idea what kind of person he was and would not rashly take the two bills.

"Oh? Haha..." Hearing Wang Jin's words, the short-haired boy laughed twice and put the money away. "Forget it then."

He raised his head twice and said with a smile:

"Brother, please go first."

Wang Jin was silent for a moment, then quickened his pace.

This short-haired boy is indeed not simple. As an illegal resident, if he is controlled by others everywhere, his money would have been robbed long ago. How could he be so lucky to get here?

Wang Jin kept a distance of three or four meters between himself and the short-haired boy, and kept walking. The sloppy uncle in front of him had already disappeared.

"Brother...where are you from? Are you going to Quanguan City too?" the short-haired boy behind suddenly asked.

Wang Jin glanced at him, focused on his journey, and did not reply.

Seeing this, the short-haired boy behind did not continue to talk.

The two walked for several hundred meters, and a little light began to appear in front of them.

They were almost at the end.

Wang Jin could already see two other security guards in blue uniforms leaning against the blue cart, but the sloppy-looking middle-aged man was also next to the cart, having taken off his black robe, and seemed to know the security guards.

Wang Jin couldn't help but stop.

"What's wrong?" The short-haired boy behind asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with that sloppy uncle?"

"No, there's a problem with the security personnel. They seem to be waiting for someone..." Wang Jin said, turning his head to look at the short-haired boy.

Judging from the brief interaction between Wang Jin and the sloppy man, the probability that he knew the security personnel was very low, and it was even more impossible for him to get together with the security personnel. These security personnel were very snobbish and looked down on illegal residents.

The most important thing is, Wang Jin knew how smelly sloppy men were, so how could they get so close?

After he had doubts, Wang Jin observed carefully and soon found something was wrong.

The two security guards and the sloppy man seemed to be together, but in fact they had no communication. The sloppy man also had his hands on the cart, most likely handcuffed.

But after catching the sloppy man, they did not take him away. Instead, they strangely left him here together, which meant they were fishing.

The two security guards must have received some news, or the sloppy man must have said something to them, causing them to endure the stench and ambush there.

Could it be that the murder he committed in Sharp Nail Town was exposed and he was wanted by the owner of Sharp Nail Hall?

Wang Jin hesitated, feeling very much like this.

"Hey! Brother, they are ambushing us. How about we just rush out?" The short-haired boy advised from behind.

"But the strength of those two security guards..." Wang Jin was afraid that they would directly take out gym leader-level or even king-level Pokémon, and then they would be unable to fight back.

"If they are strong, why would they lie in ambush like this? There are not many people in the tunnel now, can't they just send the Pokémon in to search?" The short-haired boy was very calm and continued in a low voice: "I have a new gym leader-level Pokémon, but it has some brain problems and doesn't listen to commands. How about taking it out to attract attention first?"

Wang Jin frowned and looked at him, then nodded in agreement.

The gym leader-level Pokémon with brain problems that the short-haired boy mentioned is most likely a trophy obtained from killing people, not his own Pokémon.

But since the short-haired boy took the initiative to speak, there was no reason for Wang Jin to refuse.

"Okay... let's walk forward another five or six meters, until they can barely see us..." The short-haired boy was interrupted halfway through his words.

"You go ahead, I'm scared." Wang Jin pointed ahead with his thumb, his face full of distrust. He only had one life, so he was very cautious.

The short-haired boy was silent for a moment, then nodded and agreed:

"it is good."

After that, the two began to change their positions. After going around in a circle, the short-haired boy was in front and Wang Jin was behind.

"You wait for me to release the elves, and then we'll rush out together, each relying on their own abilities..." the short-haired boy said, and walked straight forward.

Wang Jin also had some guesses about him.

This guy must have done something wrong and is most likely wanted by the Alliance, which is why he is so proactive.

Wang Jin didn't know whether the two security guards were arresting him or Wang Jin, or both of them. But no matter what, he had to run.

After walking another five or six meters, I confirmed that I was very close, and the two people in blue uniforms in front also made some unusual movements.

"Okay! Three, two, one..." The short-haired boy started counting down, took out a Poké Ball from his pocket and pressed the switch.

A long curved parabola shot towards the tunnel entrance. Seeing something was wrong, the two people in blue uniforms dodged to both sides at the same time in the blink of an eye.

"Dharma!"

A deafening roar came out of the Poké Ball, and a snowman covered in flames appeared in the middle of the tunnel.

The snowman was about two meters tall, with flames coming out of its head that looked like a rooster's comb. A strange red smiling face was painted on its round white belly, and the flames on both sides turned into arms.

It is the angry form of Daruma Baboon from the Galar region!

Wang Jin recognized the elf at a glance, but had no time to observe him carefully, so he took a step forward to catch up with the short-haired boy who was running at full speed.

The fire sacs of Daruma Baboons in the Galar region have been frozen and degraded by the ice and snow, but if they are emotionally excited, their bodies will rekindle the flames. Daruma Baboons, the snowman, are so angry that they will burn everything in front of them even if they melt.
