Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Aju, one of the future Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, the current owner of the Crimson Gym, is proficient in poison attributes. He is the heir of an ancient ninja family and one of the three major cadres of Team Rocket.

This guy often disappears to do missions for Team Rocket, and the gym is left to his daughter Axing to manage.

Wang Jin recalled the information about Aju and felt a little excited.

One of the three major executives of Team Rocket, what is his strength?

One-eyed Red Devil, who only specializes in Octopus Barrel Pokémon, is also considered a top-level trainer. He said that Aju is very strong, but does very strong mean that it does not constitute a crushing defeat?

Is Aju's strength at the champion level? Or is it the top of the king level, with one or two champion-level Pokémon in his hands?

Wang Jin guessed, and then looked at the highly nervous Red Devil beside him, which frightened the Red Devil and he hurriedly explained:

"My Lord...I am not lying. You will know if you go to Octopus Island..."

"I am clear."

Wang Jin smiled and patted the Red Devil on the shoulder and asked:

"How much did you want to exchange for these hostages when you negotiated with the Alliance?"

"I...10 million per person in exchange for 120 million Alliance coins." The Red Devil answered honestly.

"Yeah." Wang Jin smiled, "You remember, I've already given it on behalf of the alliance, right?"

The Red Devil suddenly shuddered and nodded frantically:

"That's right!"

Although the Red Devil didn't see the 120 million Alliance Coins, he still gave it in his heart, and he could only receive it anyway.

Wang Jin just wanted to ask the alliance for mission compensation.

Since the person was saved, he should get the money.

Besides, the Speaker’s great grandson must have more than just these Alliance coins, right?

The Octopus Pirates actually dared to kidnap people halfway...

"Oh, right!" Wang Jin frowned and asked, "Octopus, you dare to arrest people like this, aren't you afraid that someone from the alliance will order the king champion to come to your lair to clean up the mess?"

The Red Devil was stunned, thinking, aren't you here just to clear up the mess?

He still hesitated and replied:

"There really is a giant octopus sleeping in Octopus Island. It is the ancestor of these octopus barrels. It has lived for hundreds of years and has been eating sea rocks. Its strength is unfathomable."

Wang Jin shook his head and said, "No, this is not a reason."

What kind of bullshit giant octopus is it? At most it can be a master level?

Legendary Pokémon are at least at the Master level, not just a giant octopus. If someone in Galar can master a Legendary Pokémon, there must be a big boss in the Alliance who can master one.

Or there should also be a master-level trainer like the old monster, right?

For example, Liu Bo?

Wang Jin still remembers the scene in the special episode where Liu Bo, holding Articuno and the little pig, beat up Lugia, the King of Wind.

Of course, he is not sure whether the characters in the special chapter exist at present. If they do exist, he can just go to Pallet Town and ask Professor Oak if there is a person named Xiao Aka.

This is what you should do after going to Kanto.

Wang Jin quickly withdrew his thoughts and turned to the present, staring at the one-eyed pirate in front of him.

The Red Devil closed his eyes and sighed, then said:

"The three pirate groups in our triangular sea area must hand over a portion of the looted property..."

"Who is it?"

"Sinnoh Alliance."

The Red Devil said a name that made Wang Jin couldn't believe his ears.

"Sinnoh Alliance? Are you sure it's the Sinnoh Alliance?" he couldn't help but ask hurriedly.

The Red Devil nodded quickly, "It's the Sinnoh Alliance."

Wang Jin asked again: "Isn't it that some high-ranking officials in the alliance are too greedy?"

The Red Devil shook his head and said, "If all the top brass are corrupt, that would include the current Sinnoh King and Champion. It is said that the local hunter guilds in Sinnoh are not breaking the law, as long as you pay the money."

"......Who are the current Sinnoh Kings and Champions?" Wang Jin couldn't help but say.

Although the Red Devil was puzzled, he answered all the questions and said a string of very unfamiliar names. There was only one King Kikuno, whom Wang Jin had heard of.

Yes, it’s still early in the timeline, and the gym leaders and champions of the Galar region have just been selected.

Shirona, Daye, A Liu and others may still be improving their strength and trying to challenge the championship.

In silence, the Sant'Antoine had already docked.

......

Octopus Island is very large, separated from north to south by a mountain shaped like an octopus's head.

To the south is a very clean town with rows of houses and very neat gray-white streets. It does not look like the living environment for pirates at all.

All the crew members on the Sant'Anno refused to go ashore and chose to stay here and wait.

Wang Jin followed Red Devil and Am into the town. The houses inside were all single-story and detached, with their doors tightly closed.

"Octopus Town is the home of our Red Devil... the Octopus Pirates." When they arrived at the town, Red Devil looked much more relaxed and explained with great interest: "In recent years, we have more money, so we can build brick and stone houses. In the past, we built wooden houses by cutting down trees ourselves..."

Wang Jin looked around and nodded slowly. An Mu, who followed behind him, said nothing.

Talking along the way, the Red Devil led him to the northernmost end of the town.

Behind the tallest house painted red, the Red Devil lifted something that looked like a manhole cover and walked down first.

Wang Jin used his superpowers to look around below before following closely.

Below was a tunnel dug by humans, square in shape and two meters long on each side. The mud walls were inlaid with countless glowing minerals, emitting a bright white light that almost made the tunnel as bright as day.

After walking for half a minute, I reached the end.

The Red Devil took out the key and opened the iron gate. He walked in first and stood aside, followed by Am and Wang Jin.

It was quite spacious inside. It was a man-made cell with bricks on the top and bottom, about the size of a classroom.

Before Wang Jin went in to observe the hostages, a foul smell came out from inside.

It's like the smell of someone defecating and urinating anywhere for a few days and then letting it evaporate.

"We built a toilet." The Red Devil also covered his nose, "These guys are still messing around..."

Before he could finish his words, Wang Jin, who used his superpowers to temporarily block his mouth and nose to filter the air, walked in. He first looked at the simple toilet in the corner of the cell, and then glanced at the people who were squatting in the corners.

Although the original styles of these people's clothes can be seen, they are extremely dirty.

The cell was quiet, as if it was filled with dead people.

Even after Wang Jin and the others came in, these people just took a quick look and didn't say anything.

It was also because Wang Jin was wearing a black robe and his expression was too stern... Mainly because he was with two pirates, he didn't look like a good person.

The pirates delivered three meals a day, and they were used to the iron gate opening from time to time.

The Red Devil quickly explained:

"Sir, I didn't abuse them. These people just fought among themselves..."
