Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"This battle should be a foregone conclusion. That ice boy will definitely not be able to withstand any of Charizard's attacks."

In the corner of the hall, two staff members were talking in low voices.

This attracted the attention of Yalu, who was sitting on a chair holding a white fluffy cat. He raised his face with a few freckles, and after seeing the duel between Maru and Dandi, he lowered his head and continued to tease the white fluffy cat.

"But the most interesting thing today is the battle between Wang Jin and Qibana... I bet two thousand Alliance coins that Qibana will win." A staff member at the back said so.

"Then I bet 20,000 that Wang Jin wins." A slightly cold female voice came from the side. It was Lulina who had been listening for a long time.

The two staff members looked up and saw that it was Lulina. After being stunned for a while, they laughed awkwardly at the same time and lowered their heads to retreat to another corner.

Lulina bit her lower lip, frowned her slender eyebrows, and walked towards Wang Jin who was sitting on the sofa in front.

She hesitated for a moment and sat down next to him, only to hear Wang Jin shaking his head and saying:

"Maru is still going to lose..."

Lurina looked up and saw that Maru on the screen had just taken back his second Pokémon and was about to release the third.

The first two Ice-attribute Pokémon were killed instantly by Charizard's flame spray.

Seeing Maru's eyes full of fighting spirit at the beginning, Wang Jin almost thought that Maru could explode on the spot... and replace him with a Charizard.

Looking back now, it was still too much of a stretch.

Wang Jin sighed and then noticed Lulina next to him.

"Wang Jin..." Lulina said softly, "The next opponent is Chibana...why don't we go now?"

"Where can I go?" Wang Jin didn't react for a moment.

“Leave Galar.” Her voice was as thin as a mosquito.

Wang Jin was silent for a moment, then replied:

"Don't worry, I have my own plan."

He finished speaking and smiled:

"It's your turn to fight soon, go ahead, Lurina."

Lulina watched as Maru on the screen was easily defeated by Dandi. It couldn't even be said to be easy, as he just stood on the stage for ten minutes and then went downstairs to eat.

Maru's strength was once comparable to that of Onio, and if he encountered other champion-level Pokémon, he might even try to consume them. But now he was defeated so easily?

What kind of strength does Chibana have to compete with Dandi for the championship?

How much power does Chibana have hidden? Which Pokémon is his champion?

neither knows.

Lulina didn't think that Wang Jin would be able to continue participating in the championship smoothly. Not only was the group making things difficult for him, but he was also hunting him down... Under normal circumstances, the championship would have already reached a fever pitch, and they were even trying to shorten the time... Now he should really find a chance to leave Gongmen City and Galar!

Wang Jin's voice interrupted her eager gaze:

"Go, Lurina."

Lulina still stood up and listened to Wang Jin say:

"Trust me, I can win the finals."

Lurina nodded heavily and walked into the passage behind Onio.

......

Time passed quickly, and the difference in strength between Onio and Lurina was still obvious. With both of them trying their best, Onio defeated Lurina with the advantage of having two Pokémon left.

10:30 am, Gongmen Arena.

"Now it's the first battle of the second group! The two opponents are Wang Jin and Chibana! Wang Jin, the genius trainer from Spike Town, and Chibana from the mysterious Dragon Family... I believe many people are looking forward to this battle!"

Ryan, who was sitting in the referee's booth, raised the microphone high and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Who will make it to the semi-finals, Wang Jin or Chibana? I believe everyone has their own favorite... Next, it's time to witness the battle! Trainers from both sides, please come to the scene!"

Wang Jin had a calm expression, wearing an ordinary black group uniform with long sleeves and long pants. He quickly walked into the battlefield area.

On the opposite side, Chibana had his hands in his pockets, always with a smile on his face.

"The battle rules are 6v6 rotation battles. Trainers from both sides please release your first Pokémon!"

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Wang Jin and Qibana threw Poké Balls at the same time.

"Steel Armor Crow!"

"Come out, desert dragonfly!"

The red light flashed, and the steel armored crow with bright black feathers flapped its wings and flew into the air, letting out a hoarse roar:

"Gah-"

The emerald green desert dragonflies across the street were also humming softly, and it sounded so beautiful that it sounded like elves were singing softly.

The moment the sound came, Wang Jin immediately asked Symbol A to cover his ears.

The Desert Dragonfly is also known as the Desert Fairy. In the sandstorm it stirs up, a beautiful female singing voice can be heard. Legend has it that anyone who is bewitched and distracted by this voice will eventually be caught in the sandstorm and become food for the Desert Dragonfly. As a result, people are constantly killed in the desert.

Although the sound of the Desert Dragonfly is not as mysterious as the legend says, it will still have a certain impact on the trainer's mind. If one is accidentally addicted to it, he may be in a daze for a long time.

The audience outside is isolated by a superpower barrier, but will not be affected.

This is a trait that specifically targets the opposing trainer, but it is also a natural characteristic of Pokémon and has a great impact on inexperienced trainers.

Wang Jin looked at the data of this desert dragonfly attentively:

【Name: Desert Dragonfly】

[Attributes: Ground, Dragon]

[Level: Level 49 (King of Heaven)]

[Characteristic: Floating]

[Items to carry: none]

[Mastered moves: Dragon Claw, Sand Throwing, Ultrasonic Wave, Dragon Breath, Stomp, Mud Throwing, Quicksand Abyss, Dragon Tail, Screech, Insect Chirping, Sand Storm, Power of the Earth...]

Wang Jin's eyes were solemn, without any relaxation.

This Desert Dragonfly is very powerful and is not far from the champion level... I just don't know how many champion-level Pokémon Chibana has.

Dante and Chibana were ahead of most of the contestants and they probably had more than one champion. Dante at least had one that he knew was Charizard, but Chibana was not sure.

Maybe Chibana will pull out a quasi-dragon of champion level later.

But for Steelix, this battle has the advantage in attributes. Ground attributes are ineffective against flying attributes, and dragon attribute moves are blocked by steel attributes.

The referee's voice quickly broke the tense situation on the battlefield:

"The first Pokémon of both teams have been released, and the battle begins!"

Wang Jin and Qibana did not hesitate at all and shouted at the same time:

"Steel Armor Crow, a flash of lightning and then a peck of drilling!"

"Desert Dragonfly, use Bugsong!"

On the battlefield, the Steel Crow, which had been prepared for a long time, suddenly jumped out and disappeared in the naked eye, without even a trace of afterimage, and the Steel Crow came behind the Desert Dragonfly.

Qibana's pupils dilated slightly, and he was a little surprised:

"So fast... Didn't this Steelix use its full strength before, or has it improved recently?"

Seeing that Steel Crow was approaching, he did not say anything to let Desert Dragonfly defend or dodge.
