Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

It's just that Maru felt a little uncomfortable.

"Ah~ I thought we could make it to the semi-finals..." Maru held his head and moaned softly.

His first match was against the Dan Emperor!

Has the group already regarded him as a stepping stone for Dan Di and a sacrifice for the championship?

Which group of dogs arranged the battle order?

Maru's face was filled with sorrow.

Although you can often participate in the championship after becoming a gym owner, the most important thing is to participate for the first time, especially as a challenger, so that the gold content is high.

In Galar's history, although it is relatively reasonable and smooth for a gym leader to participate in the championship and become the champion, it is inevitable that it will be criticized as bullying a child.

The previous champion, Pioni, was often criticized.

"You haven't even started yet, why are you thinking so much..." Granny Sha tapped Maru's calf lightly with her cane, which scared Maru so much that he jumped a little, and she chuckled.

Ruby and Ounio, who were at the back, glanced at the screen indifferently and then found a place to sit.

Anyway, after reaching the quarterfinals, the group has basically determined the positions of gym leaders and the like, and it will be enough for Ounio to have a gym leader position.

As for the remaining championship battles, and what championships are up for...

Ruby knew in his heart that all these people were just there to support Dandi. Everyone was going to lose anyway, just going through the motions. In such a public occasion, it was impossible for the undefeated Dandi to lose.

Even if Dan Emperor makes a mistake, the group will not allow the Undefeated Dan Emperor to fail.

Dandi and Chibana, who were standing side by side at the back, looked at each other in silence and chuckled at the same time.

Dandi crossed his arms and said in a deep voice, "Qibana, don't let yourself be eliminated before the finals... I have been preparing for the finals with you."

"Heh..." Chibana shrugged lightly, spreading his hands helplessly and said, "Maybe if you let me join your group, we can meet in the semi-finals in advance?"

Semi-final encounter?

Dan Emperor smiled even more widely, looking up at the battle order above, with endless fighting spirit surging in his heart.

It would be better if they met in the semi-finals. He didn't want to be a puppet over-protected and arranged by the group. Even if he failed, it was after a fierce battle.

Is winning or losing really that important?

Dandi asked himself in his heart, walked forward, passed Ounio and Maru, and was the first to enter the passage.

Qibana, who was standing behind him, took his time. He glanced at the silent Caidou and the gentle Yaluo, then walked towards Wang Jin, who was sitting on the sofa with a calm expression.

"Are you leaving today?" Chibana asked softly.

Wang Jin raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled: "Why do you care more about whether I leave than the group does?"

This Chibana asks questions every few days, as if he wants to block him one step ahead of the group...

Wang Jin started to have conspiracy theories in his mind.

Could it be that the Dragon Family has already colluded with the group or some other force? Could it be that Chibana was instructed... to participate in capturing him?

No way?

"What's that look in your eyes?" Chibana's handsome black face showed a helpless look, "Isn't it enough to just show some ordinary concern?"

Wang Jin shook his head slightly:

"I really can't find any reason for you to care about me..."

Chibana's face darkened even more, so he glanced at the hall and explained softly:

"I can help you."

Wang Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked Symbol A to use his superpowers to contact Chibana: "How can I help?"

After hearing this voice, Chibana was stunned for two seconds, then realized it was telepathy. He continued to whisper in his heart:

"Our family can find someone who looks and looks like you, and then find a king-level steel armored crow, and appear in the opposite direction of your departure to confuse the group's vision."

"You guys?" Wang Jin was even more confused. "What's your purpose? What do you need from me?"

"No special purpose..." Chibana said directly, and then silently said in his heart: "It's just a casual investment of the family. One person and a King-level Steelix are not valuable things... The elders in the family think you have great potential. Maybe you will be the key person to change the situation in Galar next time."

"Oh?"

Wang Jin rubbed his fingers, chuckled and nodded.

"Okay."

......

"Everyone is watching! It's so exciting! The championship has now reached the critical juncture of the quarterfinals. Who can defeat all the opponents and win the championship?"

In the Gongmen Arena, Ryan stood in the referee's seat. He was full of energy and his voice was much louder than usual:

"As we all know, the runner-up may not really have the strength of the second place, but the champion is definitely the champion! No one will remember the name of the runner-up, especially in Galar. Only the winner can get everyone's admiration and cheers!"

"Today's battle will begin soon! The first match is against our undefeated Dan Emperor!"

Ryan stretched out his hand, and in the player channel on the battlefield side, Dan Di also walked out steadily with a confident smile.

"On the other side..." Ryan changed the direction and said, "It's Maru, the true successor of Zhanjing Town, known as the Ice Boy!"

"What a bullshit ice boy..."

Maru complained in his heart, unhappy with the nickname given to the group.

Couldn't it be the God of Frost, the Master of Ice and Snow? If that doesn't work, then it has to be the King of Ice and Snow, right?

Compared to the Undefeated Dan Emperor, isn't the Ice and Snow Boy just a character who comes on stage to make people laugh, and then gets beaten six times and goes home crying for his parents?

Although the reality is indeed like this...

Maru reluctantly accepted the reality, tidied up her messy orange hair, and walked out of the contestant channel.

"Very good! Trainers from both teams are here at the same time. This is the Galar Championship quarterfinals. The rules are 6v6 rotation battles. The one whose Pokémon loses all combat abilities first will lose... Now, please release your Pokémon!"

Ryan finished speaking quickly, and Dandi also threw a Poké Ball:

"Charizard!"

The first one is still the champion-level Charizard!

Fire defeats ice!

How to fight this?

Maru's face was full of bitterness, and he complained in his heart:

"What's the Ice Boy? It should be the Ice Clown..."

Not to mention his own Pokémon, even if Granny Sha lent him two champion-level Ice-attribute Pokémon, he would still have no confidence in defeating this Charizard.

This is Dandi's signature! To a certain extent, it is also the signature of the group.

Champion Charizard...

......

"Actually, Maru, just stand there for ten minutes and then come down."

Old man Ruby smiled and teased.

Granny Sha had a blank expression on her face. She glanced at the old man and didn't say anything.

In the hall, contestants who were not in a hurry to enter the lounge remained here and watched the battle on the central screen together.
