Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

At this time, in the dark space.

Rumble Rock fell headfirst into a depression and took half an hour to get up.

During this time, ordinary hunters who had successfully hidden in the corners of space took this opportunity to ride their Pokémon towards the broken night barrier in mid-air. That was their only chance and passage to escape.

"A bunch of idiots..."

In the dense forest, Baika rode a fat tank skunk and sped towards the middle of the mountain.

As the night space continued to shrink, the high mountains on both sides of the wilderness were excluded at this time, and the space for people to hide was also getting smaller and smaller.

The tank skunk under Baika was chasing the scent of the blocking bear.

That was the Pokémon that Baika and Wang Jin used to save Bolton's life before they left, in order to prevent the injured Bolton from being killed by some hunter who happened to pass by.

Bolton was still useful to him and couldn't just die like that.

Now that the passage has been opened, according to the force division blocking principle of the Night Barrier, the defensive capabilities of barriers in other places have been greatly reduced, and they should be able to be broken by using King-level Pokémon.

It's like an eggshell. It may not be broken with one hand, but it is easy to open if you knock on one edge.

"Burton is not dead yet..." Baika said, following Tank Skunk and looking around.

He was not in a hurry, and planned to leave this dark space after recuperating for a while. Maybe he could pick up some elf resources...

Baika was not at ease with Wang Jin, who was the first to go out. He always felt that Wang Jin would deliberately ride the Steel Crow to guard outside for two days and kill all the hunters who came out... In this way, no one would know that he had taken away the hunter's mission target.

In fact, Baika didn't know what the so-called target was, as Hunter G didn't explain it to him clearly.

He only knew that there was something very mysterious underneath the boulder field that was related to ancient times.

"Burton? Burton!" Baika didn't see Burton for a long time, but the Tank Skunk stopped in the woods, which meant that Burton was nearby.

Baika paused for a moment, then called out in a deep voice:

"Stop the bear!"

"Om-"

A swift gray-black figure jumped down from a tree and quickly came in front of Baika.

Baika is very strict with the elves he trains, and they must obey his orders. Unless he shouts or gestures in person, they must continue to perform the previous task even if they see him.

The blocking bear came to Baika, and Bolton on the tree also sighed deeply and slowly climbed down from the tree.

The tree where he was hiding was extremely thick, with dense branches and leaves, which could well bear his weight and hide his body.

"Why are you hiding?" Baika stared at the bald man with a cold face.

"I'm afraid there's another Elite-level trainer... pretending to be an ordinary person and suddenly coming..." Bolton sighed. He touched his bald forehead and shook his shoulders and arms twice.

Thanks to the best healing medicine Baika gave him, his previous injuries have recovered almost completely and he can barely jog.

Baika snorted coldly, took out the Poké Ball to take back the Blocker Bear, and released the exhausted and unconscious Squid King. He took out some energy cubes and water to feed the Squid King, and then sat down to rest.

You have to wait until all the Pokémon are fully recovered before Baika will consider going out.

In this situation, the dark space is the safest. Even if Rhydon crawls out of the depression, as long as no creature provokes it, it will most likely follow the nature of the rock Pokémon and pretend to be a rock and continue to sleep.

"When are we leaving?" Bolton also sat down cross-legged and asked in a muffled voice.

Baika glanced at him and replied:

"Let's wait until most of the hunters have left. They won't kill each other. If they rush out like this... let's see if anyone is scared back. Let's first confirm if there is any danger outside."

"Do you think..." Bolton hesitated for a moment, "that Steelix's trainer will ambush us outside?"

"Humph, they are all old birds in the wilderness, what do you think?" Baika's face was normal, but his voice was full of disdain. He actually looked down on the current Bolton. Even his Pokémon could be taken away, and he was also captured... If he were Baika, he would rather die by hitting his head against the wall if he ended up like that.

"By the way..." Bolton said hesitantly, "Can't your Tank Skunk smell the people and Pokémon you've come into contact with?"

"What do you want to do?" Baika looked at the bald man suddenly with a frown.

"I want to find that guy... and use something to exchange for Pokémon..." Bolton said slowly. As an expert in Bug-attribute Pokémon, in addition to the Bug Pokémon he carries with him, he also has a secret base for breeding Bug Pokémon.

After all, Bug Pokémon have a short lifespan, and it has become Bolton's habit to train new ones while using them.

And there are still some good things in the training base.

"Oh?" Baika narrowed his eyes. He knew that Bolton had a nest for breeding insects, and there was also a wild dragon king scorpion that he accidentally got a few years ago. It was once the leader of the clamp tail scorpion tribe on the east side of Jiqing City.

Bolton has never succeeded in taming that King Scorpion, otherwise he wouldn't be so weak and he doesn't have any combat Pokémon that he can use.

"You've always wanted to change your dragon-attribute Pokémon, right?" Baika took out a backpack, which he had snatched from a hunter when he escaped from the low mountains. The bag contained the reward that the hunter was originally going to pay them.

The black glasses given to Baika are a Pokémon item that can enhance the power of evil-attribute moves. You can't find this item in the Galar region, so you can only buy it outside.

Bolton's was a buzz-bat egg.

"This egg is for you. I want the breeding method of the scorpion tail and the dragon king scorpion." Baika said, and added: "I will take you to see that guy... But if a fight breaks out, I can only try my best to protect you."

"Okay!" Bolton agreed without much hesitation.

......

The next day.

The shore of Nilin Lake.

As soon as the sky was getting light, Wang Jin woke up automatically from his sleep.

He pushed aside the drooling Haunter on his body, stepped over the sleeping Growlithe beside him, and then stepped over the Ultrasonic Larva at the entrance of the tent before walking out of the tent.

Steel Crow and Wearing Bear were sleeping one after the other. After sensing the movement in the tent, the sensitive Steel Crow immediately opened his eyes.

"Gah——"

Steelix called out in a deep voice, and Haunter, who was drooling in the tent, jumped up as if he had heard an alarm.

After getting to know his big brother Steelix again, Haunter began to respect (fear) Steelix very much.

It was fine when they fought side by side before, but once Haunter stood alone in front of Steelix, the sharp red eyes and powerful aura made Haunter feel scared.

"Boom!"

Haunter was the first to rush out.
