Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Captain Urt was packing up and preparing to go back to bed.

It was already past eight in the evening, almost nine.

Except for the one or two crew members on duty and the waiters who rotated in the service area, everyone else had already gone to bed.

"what--"

Urt yawned, fiddled with his gray beard, and half-opened his eyes.

The ship has just reached the edge of the triangular sea area, and is still far away from the Red Devil Islands and the Red Devil Pirates where the hostages are.

Normally there are no pirates around the edge of the sea, so he can still have a good sleep today.

Urt thought about it, held his belly and pushed the mess on his desk aside, then hung his coat on the hanger and prepared to go to the bedroom to take a shower.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Captain! I have something urgent to discuss with you!"

It seemed to be the voice of the crew on duty at night.

Did you see something unusual?

Why not just use the communicator to contact...

Urt thought about it and opened the door directly.

A cluster of black ink sprayed on his face, and he immediately felt a strong sense of numbness. When his body retreated unconsciously, it seemed as if something jumped at him. All the joints in his body were tied tightly, and he could not move at all...

It's a pirate!

Urt's head felt a little dizzy.

Why would the pirates show up at this time?

Haven’t we just entered the triangular sea area?

Luckily, the San Te Anno was originally an empty ship... but there was a young Pokémon professor!

The attack was so sudden that there was no time to remind Wang Jin!

Urt struggled hard, sweating profusely. The Poké Ball on his waist was immediately snatched away by the strange tentacles, and his body finally fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

"Octopus Bucket, you did a great job!"

Amn took back Slowpoke, kicked the crew member aside, and took the Poké Ball handed to him by Octopus Bucket.

He took a quick look inside and saw that most of them were water-attributed elves, four at the gym owner level and one at the king level.

After confirming that the Poké Balls were all locked, Am threw four gym leader-level Pokémon to the four pirates who were unable to take their eyes off them, and said in a deep voice:

"This is a reward from the Red Devil boss."

"Thank you, Boss. Thank you, Lord Am..."

The four of them happily accepted the elves and kept thanking them.

Am squatted down, looking at Captain Urt, whose face was covered in ink and whose mouth was buzzing, and waved his hand to let the two octopus barrels release the tentacles that bound his mouth, and asked in a cold voice:

"Where are the passengers on your ship?"

Urt kept panting, his vision blurred and he saw a thin and dark pirate in front of him, so he explained intermittently:

"I received the news and rushed over. I temporarily evacuated the passengers in Galar... I will pick them up after I collect the hostages."

"Galar?"

Am muttered, not quite believing it:

"Isn't the Galar region very exclusive? How come they accepted your passengers?"

"Is there anyone among the passengers who can contact a gym leader in Galar..." Urt replied hurriedly.

Hearing this, Am took out the Poké Ball again, released Slowpoke, and frowned and asked:

"What's the name of the owner?"

"Ka, Kawu! Gym Master Kawu!" When Urt heard the cry of Slowpoke, he became nervous and shouted hurriedly.

"Kawu?"

Amn used the Poké Ball to collect Slowpoke again, and waved his hand to let the four pirates carry Urt out.

He had heard of this name. Not long ago, it had very close contact with the newly emerged Rocket Team nearby and was doing some business.

There is credibility, but the facts don't matter at all.

What he needed to determine was how many people were left on the ship and whether there was still a chance of finding those passengers who had left.

Amn came to the outer deck and gave orders to the dozen or so pirates who had just boarded the ship:

"Search every room carefully to find all the people and Pokémon in this ship! Even if it's just a green caterpillar, bring it to the deck!"

The pirates immediately erupted in a noisy response:

"Yes, Lord Am!"

"Let's go, I love hide and seek the most..."

"Grab it!"

After shouting quickly, they ran like sharks fighting for food, releasing their Pokémon and entering the cabin.

The pirates had a very clear purpose. They ignored the lobby and the dim training area and headed straight for the passengers' lounge.

A few breaths later, a wave came from the side of the Saint Anno. The giant red octopus on the wave paused for a moment, then suddenly jumped up and came to the deck with the strong man on its head.

"Red Devil Boss!"

Amn quickly walked to the giant octopus and watched the sturdy man on it jump easily onto the deck.

The sturdy man had a sallow skin, and a scar on his face that extended vertically from his forehead to his chin. His remaining single eye was extremely fierce, and he was only wearing a short-sleeved jacket and shorts.

He ignored Am and quickly set his sights on Urt who was tied up.

"Boss Red Devil!" Am quickly handed over the Poké Ball he had found from Urt in his pocket, which contained the king-level water-attribute Pokémon.

The Red Devil took it casually, and after seeing the Megalodon inside, he threw it to Am:

"Keep it for yourself."

"Yes..." Am had expected this and did not show any excitement.

This Red Devil Boss, the leader of the Red Devil Pirates, only likes to use and cultivate octopus barrels. He has been able to cultivate octopus barrels to the king level.

Although the octopus bucket looks ugly, it is very practical.

Am didn't know why the Red Devil liked this Pokémon. Am only liked powerful Pokémon.

"Urt!" the Red Devil shouted, "Are there any other passengers on this ship?"

Captain Urt was about to answer, but the Red Devil added grimly: "If you lie, I will let the octopus bucket eat one of your legs for every passenger I find."

"..."

Urt struggled briefly.

It's not that he couldn't bear to sacrifice his legs, it's just that the young Pokémon professor was about to become a hostage.

He himself didn't expect that the pirates would launch a raid so soon. Without anyone notifying them, Wang Jin would definitely be discovered.

The other side already has a bunch of hostages in their hands, so one more or one less makes almost no difference.

Anyway, we will just have to stay in the hands of the Red Devils for a while, waiting for the boss from the alliance to find a way to rescue us.

Urt shouted honestly:

"There is another passenger who wants to stay on this ship!"

"Hmm?" The Red Devil's face seemed to be smiling, "Who is it?"

"A very young Pokémon professor..." Urt's mind raced, "He came from Galar. After we temporarily evacuated the other passengers in Galar, he boarded the ship by himself. It was Professor Yamanashi who introduced him to the ship, and he refused to listen even when we chased him off..."

He then added:

"The Pokémon doctor is in Room 102 of the first-class cabin. You can see him once you reach the top floor."

"Oh~ Not bad!"

The Red Devil nodded in satisfaction and called to the octopus bucket beside him:

"Swallow his right leg!"
