Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

In the back, the originally passionate cheering team fell silent.

Including the TV crew with the camera, and the hostess Lily, who had no idea what to say.

Is this a match-fixing?

It must be another match-fixing, right?

The owner of the Spike Gym, standing surrounded by the Shouting Team, had a gloomy look on his face and immediately began to look for his good brother.

According to the plan, Baika should have disguised himself as a member of the Shouting Team. Where is he now? Where did the Baika people go?

The person on the field now is his son!

This Baika...

The Spike Master was also wondering if something had happened to Baika. The most urgent thing now was to find Baika. He also knew that his brother had been wanted by the Alliance for a long time. If he was secretly arrested by the Alliance in this situation... it was very likely.

He was thinking in his heart, and was about to ask a few members of the cheering team around him to run to find Baika, when a voice came from behind:

"Master...Master! Please go back and check. There is news from the Alliance..."

"Hmm?" The Spike Gym Leader frowned slightly, glanced at the equally silent TV crew members, and chose to return to the gym first.

......

At this time, Quanguan City.

The Pokémon Center in front of the arena.

Kibana pressed his fist against the side of his face, somewhat confused about what the purpose of Nie Zi and the Spike Gym was.

Openly playing a fake match, not commanding the battle... doing it at the beginning of the Gym Tour Challenge, trying to mess up this Gym Tour?

They knew that their eligibility to participate in the competition would most likely be taken away by these trainers prepared by the group, and then the main force, the Dragon Family of Kensei City, temporarily allied with the group... in order to sacrifice these weaker gyms.

All they had to do was disrupt the Gym Tour and get everyone to boycott. Although their reputation was ruined, they succeeded in stopping the Gym Tour.

They were already in decline anyway, so they could have lived for a few more years.

Small gyms like the Spike Gym... could it be that some kind of agreement was reached behind the Dragon Family's back?

Chibana rubbed his temple with his fist, the more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

Now it depends on what measures the group will use to deal with the emergency.

In the back, a group of trainers from Kengoku City were looking at the silent Nie Zi on the screen, and Ursa Major being beaten up by Steelix. They really couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

After waiting so long and playing so many promoted challenges and battles...

Is this the result?

"Master Chibana! Is this really a fixed match? This Nie Zi didn't say a word on the battlefield... This is too..." Someone shouted from behind, and several trainers squeezed to the front.

Kabali had no intention of scolding or stopping these guys. He himself was also confused and couldn't figure out what was going on with Nie Zi.

Deliberately making a fool of yourself at a Galar-wide event like the Gym Tour Challenge?

Kabali looked at Chibana beside him.

The shouts of the trainers behind him became louder and louder:

"Lord Kabali! Did Nie Zi take money? What has he done to this gym tour?"

"Yeah, did Wang Jin send him something? Otherwise, why wouldn't he say anything?"

"Isn't that right? Wasn't he just having a fake match with his father? As for now he's not even pretending?"

"I don't know, I don't know."

"Appeal together and appeal to the alliance!"

The noises were getting louder and louder, and even the law enforcement officers chatting leisurely outside could hear them clearly. Law enforcement captain Woods curiously poked his head around the crowd and looked at the TV screen inside.

"What's going on?" Woods was a little confused. Even if the gym tours in previous years were very intense, they wouldn't be like this, right?

As he was wondering, a subordinate beside him said loudly in a low voice:

"I heard that the first challenger, Nie Zi from Jianding Town, played a fake match and didn't even give orders during the battle."

"what?"

Woods raised his eyebrows in surprise, but saw that the picture on the TV screen inside suddenly changed from the battlefield.

An experienced middle-aged male host said calmly:

"Dear audience, a bad incident occurred in the Gym Tour Challenge. It has been confirmed that contestant Nie Zi from the Spike Gym had a fake battle. His first battle in the Spike Gym was a performance, and the Bad Badge he obtained does not count towards his badge count."

He added:

"The relevant punishment measures of the alliance have been issued. Now we will return to the Gym Tour Challenge site."

......

"On the battlefield right now, Wang Jin's players are attacking very fiercely. It can be seen that this Steel Crow has been trained very well..."

Seeing the silence in the audience, Ryan, the referee and host who received the message from the group, quickly explained the remedy.

"The Blocking Bear is now seriously injured. Can it still get up? Steel Crow seemed to want to pursue the victory, but was stopped by Wang Jin. Wang Jin seemed to be very curious about why Nie Zi did not issue any orders..."

Nie Zi looked left and right. The cheering team members behind him all looked the same, with familiar stupid expressions on their faces... Where was his second uncle?

Unable to find it, Nie Zi became even more confused.

It was originally agreed that Baika would find a way to hide around the battlefield, probably pretending to be a member of the Shout Team or a staff member... If there is any unexpected situation, he can also provide remote guidance through some methods...

But what about his second uncle?

On the side, Ryan was still talking non-stop:

"Drumbly can't get up anymore. It doesn't want to continue fighting! More than ten breaths have passed, and Drumbly still hasn't gotten up. It is considered to have lost its ability to fight! Please ask player Nie Zi to replace the next Pokémon in time!"

Seeing that Nie Zi was indifferent and even looking around in confusion, Ryan emphasized:

"Contestant Nie Zi, please quickly change the next Pokémon!"

Nie Zi was constantly urged, and seeing that Dulanxiong was unable to get up, he made a decision and took Dulanxiong back directly.

The next one is...

Nie Zi held the Poké Balls of Tank Skunk and Cool Leopard and fell into anxious worry.

Which one should I put?

Did your second uncle tell you about this situation?

No, no...it's not your Pokémon anyway.

When Nie Zi thought of this, he felt much more relieved and casually threw the Poké Ball of Tank Skunk.

"Come out, Tank Skunk!"

The somewhat fat and purple-haired Tank Skunk jumped onto the battlefield and looked at the Steelix in front of it with vigilant eyes.

Nie Zi had no time to think about what had just happened. Now that Ursa was defeated, it was defeated. Anyway, he still had two Elite-level Pokémon in his hands. As long as he defeated this Steelix first, the opponent might not have a second Elite-level Pokémon.

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted:

"Tank Skunk! Use Venom Blast!"
