Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Although Wang Jin and Malu were sitting opposite each other and chatting well, Wang Jin always knew that the person in front of him was just a stranger, whom he had known for less than a day. Even if they had experienced danger, his credibility was still too low.

Based on Maru's words, Wang Jin reluctantly believed it, but the riddle man did not explain the specific circumstances and methods of the action.

This means that if you agree, you may have to follow Maru for the next two months, and it will be Maru who makes the decision to disrupt the gym trip and cause trouble.

Wang Jin didn't want to let a stranger guarantee his life and property. Besides, what good would happen to them after ruining the gym trip? Being hunted by the whole area?

"Hehe... This is a gym trip for five people. But if one of them makes a fool of himself in the live broadcast..." Maru said, but saw Wang Jin shaking his head.

"What happens after you're done?" Wang Jin asked him.

"Brother Jin..." Maru smiled confidently, "We will join the Marrokomon Group!"

Maru took out a seal with the Marrokomon Group and a communication device exclusive to the Marrokomon Group from his backpack to prove that what he said was true.

Join the Marrokomon Group?

Wang Jin fell into deep thought.

It seems that the decision to disrupt the gym trip was not made by Maru alone, but was made by the president of the alliance, Roz? But why would President Roz instruct on such a thing...

"Dantei must become the champion, and the gym leaders are not very obedient." Maru whispered, "President Roz is standing behind us."

"That sounds good indeed," Wang Jin affirmed.

Hearing this, Malu opened his eyes wide and was about to nod, but Wang Jin changed his tone:

"But I refuse!"

...

Early next morning.

There are many diligent Alliance trainers on Route 7 on the east side of Quanguan City. They come out early to find people to fight and improve their strength.

In order to prepare for the gym trip two months later, all trainers in the alliance are eligible to stop participants halfway and decide whether they can pass through a battle.

The entire battle situation will be broadcast live by drones, which is also a good opportunity to appear on TV.

Who doesn’t want their family to see them performing on TV?

Just as they were getting ready to go on the spacious, dry dirt road designated by the authorities, two figures were seen walking one after the other in the forest separated by grass and earth slopes.

It’s Wang Jin and Malu.

"As long as you agree, let's go to Quanguan City now, and I can help you find a job immediately..." Malu kept talking, still not giving up.

After Wang Jin rejected him last night, Malu was very surprised and is still pestering Wang Jin to join.

But Wang Jin has made up his mind to grow on his own. Of course, the main reason is his distrust of Maru.

Wang Jin replied:

"We'll be in Quanguan City soon. I'll find a job on my own."

"This..." Seeing this, Maru had no choice but to accept it.

Not far after exiting the forest is the Quanguan Bridge.

The Quanguan Bridge is brown in color, more than 20 meters wide, and is made entirely of rare rocks.

This is one of the landmark buildings upon entering Quanguan City, and it is bustling with people coming and going.

After arriving here, I plunged into the crowd and no one could tell the difference between the illegal trainers and the league trainers.

There are no security personnel checking in places with large traffic.

Wang Jin and Malu walked onto the bridge and followed the flow of people along the edge of the bridge.

On both sides of the bridge, there were several majestic Steelix standing on the roadside, and their trainers kept shouting to attract passengers.

As Galar's iconic Pokémon, Steelix is ​​almost everywhere in Galar, and has also spawned a related industry: flying taxis.

As long as you pay, you can take a taxi controlled by Steelix and travel freely around Galar.

Whether it is upper-class celebrities or lower-class trainers, everyone likes this means of transportation.

"Gah~gah~"

A Steelix just had a customer, and after the trainer sat down, it flapped its wings and flew into the sky, dropping a few black feathers.

These Steelix, which are used as a means of transportation, are basically at the peak of the gym leader level, around level 39. Limited by their talents, they can only be stuck at this level, neither being able to become a king-level Pokémon to be admired by others, nor being able to turn into a young titmouse that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

Those trainers who captured and bred Chickadees in the early years, in the end, almost all of them changed their careers to become taxi drivers because their main Steelix could not improve its strength.

Although for novice trainers, young titmice are easy to catch and can be trained to be very strong, most young titmice that are kept as home birds on the roadside are not very talented.

Without good resources, their strength will stagnate after they exhaust their potential and complete their final evolution.

Of course, there are also unwilling trainers who try to make Steelix fight a life-and-death battle to break through. But only a few succeed, and most of them just make the Pokémon injured and disabled, and then they can't even fly, and spend the rest of their time in depression.

"Chirp!"

The young titmouse poked its head out of Wang Jin's sleeve, jumped onto his shoulder, and looked longingly at the steel-armored crows flying freely in the sky.

To it, these are all powerful predecessors.

At this time, Wang Jin and Malu walked across the bridge and entered the main street of Quanguan City.

"Okay, Brother Jin. Let's say goodbye here. I have something urgent to do." Malu waved to Wang Jin, and suddenly remembered something, and took out a note from his pocket. "You should need this."

He handed it to Wang Jin and walked towards an ordinary coffee shop.

Wang Jin also nodded and took it to check.

It says: No. F307, Quanguan, black market.

He casually put the note into his pocket and walked along the sidewalk, looking curiously at this city he was seeing in reality for the first time.

Quanguan City was once the center of Galar and a place where heavy machinery technology was thriving. Although it has now developed into precision technology based on electricity, this industrial city that embodies history has been preserved intact.

The layout of Quanguan City has two levels. The first level is entered from the main gate in the south, which is also the main open-air city view and commercial area.

After reaching the end, you can take the industrial pulley elevator to the second floor, which is where Wang Jin is now.

The center here is the Quanguan Arena, also known as the Quanguan Gym.

Since Galar highly values ​​Pokémon battles, gyms in various places also serve as arenas and have the same name and function as arenas.

All the previous owners of Quanguan City were from a secretive Dragon Family. Wang Jin did not recognize the current owner and did not know his name.

Walking through the Pokémon Center with a faint pink glow, Wang Jin decided to go down to the first floor to find a job.

If you are a trainer of the Alliance, you can get free treatment and accommodation services at the Pokémon Center by showing your ID card. But if you are an illegal resident like Wang Jin, being kicked out directly is considered good.

Illegal residents who are able to enter big cities by some means are usually wanted criminals. Alliance trainers who are interested in doing good may arrest them directly and find out if there is a bounty first.

Wang Jin needs to find a job and a place to live as an illegal resident.

There may not be any on the surface, but we just need to find a way to enter the black market in Quanguan City...
