Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Old Man Ruby and Granny Sha had already received the news. They both looked calm and released their Pokémon directly outside the hall.

"Gengar!"

"Double more ice!"

As soon as the two Pokémon appeared, Maru rushed to Granny Sha, bent over and asked anxiously:

"What happened? What's the situation now?"

Granny Sha raised her cane, but it didn't fall on Maru's head. She walked slowly around Maru and said quickly:

"I don't know either. The group said there was a problem with the building and asked Ruby and me to help."

Maru looked at old man Ruby again, only to find that Onio had also run out and was looking up in front of old man Ruby.

Old man Ruby had nothing to say and could only shake his head.

The two of them still watched their respective masters flying towards the direction of the Marlokomon Building on their Pokémon...

"How is Wang Jin?" Lulina just arrived at the door and was a little anxious.

Things are happening so fast now that we don’t know what’s going on.

Unfortunately, neither Maru nor Onio knew much about it.

The three returned to the hall, which was filled with a strange atmosphere.

Chibana and Kabali stopped at the entrance, as if they wanted to go in and take a look. The other contestants sat quietly, without a single word of discussion.

"This championship..." Maru asked herself in confusion, "Is it over?"

...

In the players' lounge, Dan Di, who was ready to enter the battlefield through the passage, stopped.

The sound of the broadcast was still lingering in his ears.

"Wang Jin..." Dan Emperor felt a little regretful and lowered his head and sighed: "Is he leaving after all?"

He thought he could play the entire final with Wang Jin.

But given Wang Jin's current situation, with the group pressing on, he really has no better choice.

"Buzz!"

The communication device beeped softly, Dan Di took it out, glanced at it casually, and put it back into his pocket.

He put on his gloves and raised his head again, his eyes still firm.

Even if there is no opponent, he still wants to play until the last moment...

No matter what, he is Galar's undefeated Dan Emperor!

...

Palace Gate Arena.

There were several white fluffy birds with colorful ribbons floating in the air above the stadium, and more than a dozen majestic steel armored crows were flying steadily with passenger suitcases and photographers in their claws. The dazzling white lights on the top of the stadium were blinding, shining towards the center of the battlefield lawn.

The audience's expectant chatter and cheers never stopped.

As the number of audience members was too large and too noisy, and also for fear of causing sudden chaos, the previous broadcast was not played here.

The slightest noises in the hall and the room went unnoticed.

But this news must be explained after all.

Referee's box.

Ryan, holding the railing with one hand, tightly grasped the communication device in his hand, which contained the order sent by the group to notify and appease all the spectators.

Let him inform and reassure the audience!

Ryan didn't know what to say...

This is the championship game!

Galar's grandest event held every three years!

There are not only tens of thousands of spectators in this venue, but also hundreds of thousands of people from different towns and cities are eagerly waiting in various squares in Gongmen City!

Not to mention those residents who sat at home early in the morning, in front of their TVs and radios, hoping to watch and listen to the championship finals...

If not handled properly, it will be a riot that can spread to the entire Galar region!

Ryan scanned the dark crowd of spectators in the air in the stadium and could only put away the communication device in his hand and took out the microphone. He took a deep breath and said:

"Dear viewers, as the championship match is about to begin, please allow me to tell you..."

Before he could finish his words, the entire venue suddenly erupted in shouts like a volcanic eruption.

"Oh--"

"Dan Emperor! Dan Emperor! Dan Emperor!"

"Champion Dan Emperor! Undefeated Dan Emperor!"

"Charizard......"

"Let me see your decisive battle~"

Ryan was confused by the fanatical shouts. He looked in the direction where he saw Dan Di had already walked out of the player passage on the battlefield side.

Amidst the warm cheers, Emperor Dan walked calmly into the lawn and waved to the audience.

Ryan, however, looked at the communication device again and again, somewhat puzzled.

Wang Jin is missing, shouldn't Dan Di also stay in the lounge?

The group told Dan Di not to come out!

If Dan Di doesn't come out, the information of the contestants can be blurred, making everyone unsure whether it is Dan Di or Wang Jin who is in trouble...

Even if everyone will complain, when it's over and Dan Di and the fake Wang Jin come on stage, everyone will believe that both of them are real.

If we make it clear now that Wang Jin has a problem, then when the Dan Emperor defeats the fake Wang Jin, I'm afraid many people will question it...

This championship didn't come from a legitimate source!

Why did the Dan Emperor come out on his own initiative?

Ryan felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He had to cut short the words he had prepared, swallow them down for the time being, and then reorganize his words.

Although he was in a difficult position as a referee and host, the audience was extremely excited.

Even the trainers in Kensei City, who were the most hostile to Dan Di, shouted Dan Di's name in unison.

The final of the championship is the real championship.

The tournament that will determine Galar's future champion!

At this place, at this moment, trainers from different cities can put aside all their prejudices and conflicts and cheer for the players on the field!

After a moment, Ryan looked at the time and raised the microphone to interrupt everyone's enthusiasm:

"Now, there are only five minutes left before the championship game begins! Our Dandi player seems to have arrived a little early, but it's just right..."

Seeing that the voices of the audience gradually became lower, he said in a low voice:

"But I need to tell you another piece of news...even though this is definitely not my intention."

When Ryan said this, his voice got stuck in his throat.

What should he say?

"That is..." Ryan said very slowly, and had to stretch out his voice.

In an instant, the venue suddenly became silent, and even the slight discussions just now disappeared without a trace.

Ryan's eyes widened as well.

Directly opposite Dan Di, in the contestant passage covered by light and shadow, a familiar figure in a black robe was slowly walking out.

"Wang Jin!"

There was a loud explosion in the Gongmen Arena.

Another cheer from the audience almost burst Ryan's eardrums. He was trembling all over, raising his arms high and shouting:

"Both trainers are ready! The championship match will begin early!"

……

"Hello, hello? Roz! Why is it as noisy as a boiler in there?"

Soder's impatient voice came from the communication device.

Roz stared at Wang Jin walking towards the lawn, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Thord shouted again:

"Loz! I'm already heading to Gongmen City. If I don't see the unknown totem after the championship game..."

"You'll see." Roz replied softly and hung up the phone directly.

Roz sat back on the sofa, folded his hands under his chin, and whispered:

"You're back?"
