Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

8:55 AM.

The Shuizhou Gym opened its doors, and the cameramen, group or alliance staff who had been waiting outside for a long time came in one after another.

In just over three minutes, they ran all the way from the entrance to the giant battle arena inside the Shuizhou Gym and set up all the equipment.

This battlefield is an ordinary land battlefield, without artificial pool water, and the ground is covered with lush green grass, just like the championship stadium.

The challengers were already seated in the audience seats on both sides of the venue. Chibana and Dante sat together, followed by Maru and others.

Ryan, the host of this match, stood in the referee's seat suspended in mid-air, as if he was trapped in a small cage with rails. He held the communication device in his hand, and the voice came into his mind through the headset:

"There is one minute left before the battle begins....get ready!"

Ryan didn't hesitate at all, picked up the microphone and shouted:

"Dear audience, challengers, and staff! Welcome to the much-anticipated Gym Tour Challenge! We are now in Shuizhou Town, and the two opponents are - Shuizhou Gym Master, Nasan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fat man strode out from the player channel on the side of the battlefield. It was Nasan. Nasan walked into the battlefield with a big smile on his face, waving at the camera.

"Very good! It seems that Gym Master Nassan is very confident in this battle! Next..." Ryan paused and shouted loudly: "It's the gym challenger from Spike Town, Wang Jin!"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Jin walked out of the passage at a leisurely pace, nodded to the camera with a smile, and walked into the battlefield.

"Both players have arrived... Please release your Pokémon! The Shuizhou Gym Leader, Nasan, will announce the rules of the game!"

After Ryan finished speaking, a staff member came to Nathan with a microphone and the camera turned to Nathan.

"The battle rules of our Shuizhou Gym are very simple..." Nathan looked at Wang Jin and smiled. "As long as both sides send out three King-level Pokémon to fight, it will be 3v3 rotation."

"Oh~ The battle rules of the Shuizhou Gym are 3V3, but the strength of the Pokémon is limited to the King level!" Ryan added the explanation at the right time.

Wang Jin frowned slightly, but couldn't guess what the other party meant.

Three against three... probably they want to end the battle as quickly as possible.

The limit is the King level, which actually limits the appearance of his Dragonite and even the Unknown Totem. As the owner of the Water Boat Gym, Nasan should not have Pokémon higher than the King level.

Then...if there is no gym test to embarrass him, how exactly is Nathan going to defeat him?

Could it be that the group has obtained three top-level water-attribute Pokémon?

But if it weren't for Nathan's Pokémon, it would be difficult for the three Pokémon to obey orders as easily as a wave of the hand.

While Wang Jin was thinking, Nathan on the opposite side had already released his Pokémon.

......

auditorium.

Qibana turned slightly to look at Dan Di beside him. Dan Di's precocious face looked straight ahead with no expression.

"Does the group think Nathan can defeat Wang Jin?" Qibana asked.

But Emperor Dan just closed his eyes and shook his head without saying anything.

Sonia, who was standing behind her, raised her eyes, leaned forward and said:

"Hey, Chibana, I'm still here, and you're asking about the group's research secrets?"

"Researching secrets?" Chibana turned to look at her, a healthy smile on his dark face.

Sonia was slightly stunned, realizing that she had said something wrong, but she didn't care much. She adjusted her sitting position and continued to speak nonchalantly:

"Anyway, the battle has already begun, you will know soon."

After he finished speaking, Maru and Lurina next to him looked over. Lurina couldn't help but ask, "Can't you tell me now?"

Sonia smiled faintly and whispered into Lurina's ear:

"Are you trying to get some information out of me so that you can send a message to Wang Jin? Lulina..."

Lulina quickly leaned back and avoided him, not saying anything more.

She only knew that Wang Jin seemed to have taken something and did not hand it over to the group, and the group wanted to snipe him during the challenge and competition.

Grandma Sha and old man Ruby, who were sitting at the back, quietly observed the younger generations in front of them, wondering about the group's actions and preparations. They knew nothing about Nathan's trump card.

Although the group forces and the research institute belong to different affiliations, information is often exchanged between them. But this time, they knew nothing.

"Wait and see... This is the secret weapon of the Galar region." Sonia pulled down her glasses.

.......

Battlefield.

Nathan threw the Poké Ball first.

"Come out, super bad star!"

The super bad star looks like a dome tent covered with spikes, which is the posture of it using its tentacles to protect itself. Because it needs to spy on the outside world, it usually raises the two tentacles on the front, from which you can see its purple body with yellow eyes and small fangs.

The small sacs on its tentacles are full of deadly poison, so strong that it can cause a whale king to suffer for three days and three nights.

Wang Jin focused his eyes, and the information of this super bad star appeared before his eyes:

[Name: Super Bad Star]

[Attributes: Water, Poison]

[Level: Level 46 (King of Heaven)]

[Characteristics: Unkind and Unjust]

[Items to carry: none]

[Mastered moves: Bunker, Poison Needle, Bite, Peck, Wide Area Defense, Venom Shock, Self-Regeneration, Missile Needle, Poison Spike, Water Stream Splitting, Acid Bomb, Poison Attack, Water Wave, Hold, Pour Cold Water...]

Super Bad Star's Mercilessness can cause critical attacks to poisoned targets every time, but it has no effect on Steelix with steel attributes.

Steel attributes are immune to poison attributes and all poison effects.

"Steel Armor Crow!"

Wang Jin threw the Poké Ball and Steelix quickly leaped into the air.

Steel Crow is very capable of restraining Super Bad Star. Although Super Bad Star is quite powerful, he is still far from being able to defeat Steel Crow.

Ryan's voice sounded again: "Both Pokémon are ready! The Shuizhou Town Gym Challenge begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nathan raised his right wrist high.

There was a white wristband on it.

The black raised part of the wristband instantly lit up with a bright blue light, which then instantly turned into a dazzling white, causing all the super bad stars on the field to light up with the same light.

The more Wang Jin looked at the wristband, the more familiar it looked...

that is not......

"Steel Armor Raven! Air Blade!"

Alarm bells rang in his heart, and he shouted loudly almost the moment the blue light came on.

Several sharp air blades hit the surface around Super Bad Star, but Super Bad Star did not dodge and just endured it.

Nathan also shouted loudly:

"Super Bad Star! Gigantamax!"
