Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Even if Wang Jin successfully defeats Poplar, his opponent after the quarterfinals will be Chibana.

"This is to force me to stop before the quarterfinals."

Wang Jin glanced again and walked to a gray sofa at the edge of the hall and sat down to rest.

Maru looked at it for a while, then followed closely and complained:

"The group is really shady. They let you and Chibana face off in the quarterfinals... This is not..."

He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good adjective.

"The runner-up is not necessarily the second, but the champion is definitely the strongest," Wang Jin commented.

This is the best arrangement for the group.

Make sure to provide enough information to Dan Di and try to eliminate two of the three people, Poplar, Qibana and Wang Jin.

The remaining winner, unless he has hidden too much strength, will definitely reveal all his cards, allowing the Dan Emperor to effectively guard against him.

Wang Jin supported his forehead with one hand and planned his time.

Beside him, Maru scratched his hair with both hands and said:

"Oh...what if I win the championship, Jin-ge?"

"Yeah, what if I win the championship?"

Chibana, who had arrived out of nowhere, responded with a smile.

As soon as Maru saw this guy, his expression drooped involuntarily. He didn't know why, but he felt uncomfortable when he saw Chibana's smiling face.

Qibana didn't notice the change in Maru's expression. He just crouched down from behind the sofa, leaned towards Wang Jin, and whispered:

"Are you leaving in a few days?"

Wang Jin nodded imperceptibly.

He will definitely leave during the championship game, but as for when exactly...it depends on the specific situation.

Wang Jin had observed the structure of the Gongmen Arena, which was an open-air battle field. If he was going to lose, he would simply not fight, but just ride on the Steel Crow and slip away.

He discussed with Dr. Yamanashi that during the championship days, they would directly charter an international cruise ship, which would stay in the northeastern waters of Galar for a long time.

As long as Wang Jin sends a message, the ship will approach immediately.

"I don't care. I just hope that if we can fight... then, you don't disappear in the middle of it." Chibana said softly.

Wang Jin smiled:

"decide as things go."

He glanced at Maru who was staring at Kibana, and Lurina who had just walked over and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

After taking out the communication device and briefly checking the time, Wang Jin stood up and said calmly:

"It's time to prepare for our entrance."

...

There is still an hour until the championship game starts.

"Contestants, please go through the passage to the lounge and wait patiently...Contestants, please go through the passage to the lounge and wait patiently..."

The broadcast urged the gym leaders to stand up, as well as this session's gym challengers.

There was no conversation between the crowd, but a hint of tension naturally burst out from the brief exchange of eye contact.

championship!

This is the real event that takes place every three years in the Galar region!

A real eye-catcher!

Only the strongest trainer can reach the end.

Although the group has not explicitly stated it yet, everyone knows the rules. The allocation of gym leaders in the future will most likely be based on the rankings in the championship game.

Only the top eight people, excluding the champion, will be qualified to become gym leaders.

Wang Jin silently entered the passage at a very fast speed. Maru, Onio, Lurina... familiar faces passed by one by one. Poplar, who was leaning on a cane in the front, looked at him and smiled.

Popla's old face looked a little creepy, and her eyes slowly swept over the contestants behind her.

It's not that she is arrogant. Among these sixteen people, there are only three people whom she can look at straight in the eye.

The other so-called challengers, gym owners, and acting gym owners are nothing more than a few young kids.

But, Dandi, Qibana, Wang Jin... are all too young.

Who says that an old woman like her can’t become a champion?

This year may be the best opportunity.

"Ho ho..."

Poplar let out a strange laugh, which made Maru, who was passing by behind her, feel numb on the back.

Hiss...this old woman is so scary!

......

Palace Gate Arena, in a room on the top floor.

This room is used to entertain distinguished guests. One side has a huge floor-to-ceiling window, which allows a complete view of the underground battle field and most of the spectators.

There was a row of U-shaped sofas in the center, and Roz sat in the middle.

"Dong dong!"

There was a loud knock on the back door, and the person knocking seemed to be trying to rob.

Roz hurriedly stood up, opened the door with a smile, and greeted him.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time...Lord Xierdi."

At this time, the alliance president and the group president were like a waiter, raising their hands to invite the person outside to come in.

Xierdi had blond hair and blue eyes, and was dressed in a bright red traditional aristocratic costume. His face was deep, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised to reveal a proud look. He simply glanced at the layout inside, frowned slightly, and hummed:

"You still like this servant style, Roz. Not celebrity enough at all."

"Haha." Roz was not angry, his smile remained, and he responded attentively: "Of course I can't compare with Lord Cirdi. This is a small and simple place, please forgive me."

Xierdi nodded slowly, sat directly in the middle of the sofa, and asked:

"I heard that you are not satisfied with Thord's order? Is that true?"

Roz's expression remained unchanged as he replied:

"I was too rude, Lord Cirdi. Please apologize to Lord Thord for me."

"Alas... you still can't change your habits as a miner." Xierdi sighed and didn't continue to ask, but asked again: "Ten days later, how is the unknown totem?"

Roz clasped his hands together and said softly:

"It's already under the control of the group. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be able to see it in the next one or two days."

"Well...it's that kid from Kanto...right?" Syldi asked uncertainly.

"Yes, his name is Wang Jin." Roz nodded.

Syldie was a little confused, and turned to face Roz:

"Isn't he your subordinate? Why don't you let him hand the things over directly? Why do you make us wait so long?"

Roz looked at him sincerely and explained eagerly:

"It's like this... Wang Jin is also a participant in this championship. As you know, this championship plays a very important role in promoting the Galar region... In order to complete this task, let Wang Jin participate first. Don't worry, he will be eliminated within the specified time and hand over the unknown totem."

"Oh..." Syldi nodded, not quite understanding.

Roz smiled even more and said with a firm tone:

"As long as Wang Jin loses the game, he can reclaim the unknown totem. If the intelligence is correct, he can do it in the first game. He can't defeat Poplar."
