Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"Aren't you going over there quickly? Wang Jin..."

Granny Sha supported her crutches with both hands and tilted her head to look at Wang Jin who had just walked out of the hotel.

Ryan and others had already joined the photography team at the entrance of Shuizhou Gymnasium, and the group had assigned them work for today.

Wang Jin was still wearing a black robe. He took out the communication device from his pocket and checked the time. He replied:

"It's only half past eight. I still have thirty minutes before I go on stage... It's still early."

I don’t know if it was the group’s behind-the-scenes manipulation or what, but Wang Jin was supposed to be the third challenger to appear, but now he has become the first.

At nine o'clock, today's gym tour challenge officially begins.

The show continued all day until around seven in the evening, when all the matches were over.

The plan is to complete the battle between at least two challengers in the morning...

......

At this time, on the sea about one hundred nautical miles east of Shuizhou Town in the Galar region, a giant copper-yellow cruise ship was striding towards them.

This is the Royal United States in the United States.

The captain's cabin of the Royal Union.

Captain Noguton was standing in front of the electronic screen for panoramic observation. While adjusting the speed of the ship, he was also communicating with Dr. Yamanashi using the communication device.

"Dr. Yamanashi... I'm about to arrive at Mizufune Town, about three hours away."

"Very good, speed up..." Dr. Yamanashi urged.

Noguton asked hesitantly:

"So, who is that Dr. Steel Armored Raven? What does he look like? And are you sure the port of Shuizhou Town is open... I remember there is only an ordinary small port there, which may not be able to accommodate the Royal Cooperation."

What does it look like?

Shuizhou Town Port?

Dr. Yamanashi couldn't answer, but he didn't need an answer, so he continued to urge, "Don't worry about it, just drive. Drive to Shuizhou Town... If you can't stop, don't stop, go to the nearest place and wait for a while. If I say go, you go..."

"Uh..." Nogudon looked at the vast ocean, with a bunch of questions in his mind, but he still agreed: "Okay...you should also hurry up..."

"Okay, okay, remember to call me when you're ready."

Dr. Yamanashi said this and hung up the phone.

Noguton put down the communication device, checked that everything was normal in the captain's room, then combed his half-bald forehead and walked out muttering.

"What a doctor... I have to make another trip..."

......

Shuizhou Town.

In front of the Shuizhou Dojo.

Nathan, with a smile on his face, finally finished chatting with all the cameras, and after bowing slightly with some effort, he returned to the Shuizhou Gym.

Immediately, four or five staff members carrying cameras wanted to follow, but they were quickly stopped by the Shuizhou Town staff guarding the door:

"The owner is preparing for a battle, and no one is allowed to enter for the time being."

"..."

Several staff members looked at each other, and after hearing the urging of the young leader behind them, they retreated.

No matter which gym they went to before, there was no mention of preparing for a fight to stop people, and this time the group actually agreed...

The cameramen noticed something was amiss, but tactfully turned the camera to the challengers who had arrived and the characteristic sea view of Shuizhou Town.

In the Shuizhou Dojo.

In Nathan's work room and office, besides Nathan himself, there was also a little girl with long pink hair.

The girl had her pink hair tied into a ponytail at the back of her head. She was wearing a light brown casual jacket and tight jeans. She was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, looking very familiar.

“Miss Sonya…is this thing really that…stable?” Nathan stood aside, pointing at the white-edged wristband in his hand with an uncertain tone.

Sonya nodded slightly and replied:

"Of course, this is a finished product. We have tested it many times and it was very successful. It is designed to slow down the dissipation of energy. The effect only lasts for a few minutes. We must seize the opportunity to resolve the battle as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Nathan stuffed the things into his pocket thoughtfully, and a smile naturally rose on his face:

"Excuse me, Olivia... and how is Dr. Mulan doing recently? I met her once when she came to Shuizhou Town to do research..."

"The teacher is fine. You don't have to worry about it." Sonya put down the glasses on her head, stood up, and pretended to leave. She asked, "Do you have any questions about this prop? If not, I'm leaving."

"This..." Nathan shook the fat on his face, looking hesitant. "After all, this is the first time to use it. Just in case, I would like to ask Researcher Sonya to watch the battle live and give guidance."

Sonya walked out and nodded.

"Of course."

She just held the door handle, suddenly stopped, turned around and said:

"By the way, I have another question."

"You said, you said..." Nathan smiled sincerely.

"Your daughter Puna is the challenger this time, right? Which Pokémon is she using and what level is her strength at?" Sonya asked.

"This..." Nathan frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "I don't know what use this will be for Researcher Sonya. Then I'll call Puna over now... She trained everything herself."

Sonya shook her head and chuckled:

"It's at the request of President Rose and Sister Olive that we need to count the Pokémon of the challengers... Normally they have to be registered, but in order to facilitate the program and the championship, Puna hasn't entered the information yet."

"Haha, yes, yes." Nathan kept nodding his head, but he naturally didn't believe it in his heart.

What about collecting challengers' Pokémon information? Then can Chibana from the Dragon Family leak his Pokémon information to the group?

If there really was statistical information, could Nie Zi have had the problem of borrowed Pokémon being disobedient?

"It's because there have been many incidents of borrowing other people's Pokémon that we added this task temporarily." Sonya added, and then said: "Of course, if Gym Master Nathan refuses... I have no choice but to report back to the group headquarters first."

Sonya narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Nathan, who lowered his head slightly. Although he still maintained a smile, he was already lost in thought and weighing.

Either hand over Puna's Pokémon information, or there is no guarantee that what I give you can work as it should... In other words, compared with the roadblock challenge in Puna and the challenge with the Wangjin Gym, which one is more important?

Even if Puna is given the information, she may not necessarily lose.

Of course, we have to protect the most likely side and do our best to protect the gym.

Nathan made a quick decision:

"Ms. Sonya, I remember some of Puna's Pokémon and their levels. That should be enough for statistics. Do you think we should write them down or dictate them?"

"Just tell me, I'll remember it."

Sonya smiled triumphantly.
