Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"Kanto coward!"

The bald man standing at the door cursed and walked to the bronze window with Limo.

The two men wanted to take the opportunity to test Wang Jin's strength in order to confirm Wang Jin's background.

They were not so bold as to commit a crime in the Quanguan Arena, but Wang Jin's true strength would determine how the two would act next.

They had the idea of ​​attacking and stealing the treasure while Wang Jin was out, but they mostly wanted to buy the dragon scales directly from Wang Jin. The sale was aboveboard, and it would not matter if others heard about it, and they did not have to worry about the possible wanted list and revenge after killing someone.

If Wang Jin is actually very weak and stays in Quanguan City without leaving, then they can use threats and inducements to get the dragon scales at a relatively low price.

"What should we do now?" Li Mo looked down from the bronze window, trying to find Wang Jin's shadow.

"What else can we do? Either we wait and see if he can get out, or we negotiate the price with him directly." The bald man glanced at Limo's curly hair and walked straight back to the training room.

The bald man was born in an illegal household and still did not have a formal ID card. He had the money to buy one on the black market, but he was not in a hurry.

The black market identity card is equivalent to directly clearing the wanted charge, unless an enemy recognizes the person and continues to want him.

The bald guy wanted to take on a few more big cases and earn enough money to buy an ID card. But it also meant that he would have to hide from people for a long time. If he didn't cover his face with a big hood, he would be arrested directly if he was recognized in the boxing arena.

He also wanted to commit a crime in Quanguan City, but the discipline of this city ruled by the Dragon Family was very strict. The Dragon Family was also very wealthy, and as long as they found a murder case, they would use super-powered Pokémon above the King level to investigate. With moves such as predicting the future and the spoon of fate, no criminal could escape.

This is the rule established by our predecessors with their lives and the Dragon Family with their money.

Quanguan City is also the city with the lowest crime rate except for Gongmen City where the Alliance Headquarters and the Marokomon Group are located.

"Find a time to contact him..." The bald guy didn't dare to challenge the authority of the Dragon Family in Quanguan City, so he snorted at Limo and turned back to the training room.

...

The next day, Wang Jin packed up and went out early in the morning.

He jogged all the way to the central street of Quanguan City. It was now about 6:10 in the morning. The brown stone bricks of the central street had just been swept by the people of the Marrokomon Group and reflected the luster of water stains.

There were only a few newly opened restaurants on the street, and even the waiters weren't at work yet. Only the bosses were busy inside.

Wang Jin walked skillfully into a restaurant with relatively simple decoration and ordered a bowl of mountain boar noodles.

As the name suggests, this noodle has two small pieces of mountain pork, each as big as a palm. It only costs 25 Alliance coins.

After putting Gastly and Chickadee on the table and taking out their lunch boxes and energy cubes, the shop owner happened to leave in the rising heat, holding noodles with both hands and carrying a strong aroma of meat.

After a while, the sound of slurping noodles began to fill the restaurant.

About twenty minutes later, Wang Jin finished his meal, put away his Pokémon and things, and headed for the Quanguan Arena.

After getting on the gear elevator, Wang Jin saw that there were already quite a few people under the tall bronze door of the Quanguan Arena. He walked straight towards a male receptionist in the corridor.

The receptionist raised his head, pushed his glasses twice, and nodded to indicate that Wang Jin should ask any questions he had.

"I'm here to apply for the position of sparring partner. I made an appointment three days ago." Wang Jin took out his ID card and handed it to him.

The receptionist swiped the ID card into the card slot on the table next to him, and Wang Jin's identity information appeared on the computer.

"Oh, Mr. Wang Jin? Please come this way..." The receptionist put on a smile, stood up and led Wang Jin into the primary training ground, which was the public battlefield.

At this moment, there are very few trainers in the battlefield, almost no people, and the venue is very empty.

The receptionist walked to a vertical rectangular machine in the corner, quickly found Wang Jin's application information, and then asked:

"May I ask what Pokémon you would like to use as a sparring partner?"

"Young tit." Wang Jin answered without hesitation.

"Oh?" The receptionist stopped what he was doing and pushed his glasses twice. "Are you sure? There are a lot of Pokémon like Chitose in Galar, but that also means there are a lot of people who own it... and we already have a sparring partner for Chitose, and you need to defeat him. We will only keep the strongest, you know that."

Wang Jin understood what the receptionist meant. There were too many Pokémon like Chickadee. As a sparring partner, Wang Jin would have to face a very strong opponent.

His young titmouse is on the verge of evolution, but the young titmouse of the current young titmouse sparring partner is also very likely to be on the verge of evolution.

As for combat experience, Zhi Shantiao, who is currently the sparring partner in the arena, definitely has more.

But Wang Jin is very confident in himself and Pokémon.

"You know, the sparring partner of Chickadee in the arena has been occupying this position for three years...that person only raises Chickadees." The receptionist looked at Wang Jin and reminded him.

Wang Jin thought for a moment and nodded.

Of course, he understood that such a person was very strong. At least in terms of cultivating and fighting the elf Zhishanque, he was one of the best in the entire Quanguan City.

But the opponent must be strong, so Wang Jincai must fight against him, so that he can see what flaws and problems there are in his training and cultivation. What is special about the opponent?

At worst, if I can't beat him, I still have Gastly, or I can go to the recruitment center and do other jobs.

"Are you sure you want to choose Chickadee?" the receptionist asked again, and added: "If you fail, you can only change another elf to apply for the job. If you fail again... the arena does not need weaklings."

"Of course." Wang Jin did not hesitate.

"Okay." The receptionist typed on the device, inputting information. "You need to wait until seven o'clock to start applying for battles. Our sparring partners' working hours are from seven to six in the afternoon. Is that okay?"

"OK.."

After Wang Jin agreed, the receptionist quickly entered the final information.

After he finished typing, he let out a long sigh and pointed to a battle field nearby with satisfaction:

"Mr. Wang Jin, just wait there for a while. When our current Zhi Shanque sparring partner arrives, he will go directly there..."

After giving the instructions, the receptionist pushed his glasses twice and left the public area.

Wang Jin walked to the battle field next to him, put down his backpack at one end, and released the Chickadee from the Poké Ball.

"Chirp!"

A young titmouse flew onto his shoulder.

One man and one bird began to formulate a battle plan.

...

Not long after, a skinny middle-aged man walked in from the passage. After looking around, he walked straight to the battlefield where Wang Jin was.

Behind him was the receptionist with round glasses.

This skinny middle-aged man was only wearing a black cloth shirt and black cloth trousers, and looked very capable. But his wrinkled face looked like dry bark stuck to his bones, which made him look particularly creepy.
