Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Kona was speechless, as if he understood something, but also seemed to feel something eerie around him... He didn't know if it was because of Grandma Kikuko or because of these words.

The medium-sized cruise ship they were on soon came alongside the Sant'Anno.

Looking at the tall international cruise ship, Kikuko tapped the cane in her hand lightly, and a chubby black head emerged from the shadow under her feet.

"Gengar!"

As soon as the shouts fell, Gengar appeared endlessly, emerging from the shadows one after another, and turned into a black shadow bridge connecting the two ships. The bridge was about two meters wide and solid as a substance.

Kikuko picked up her crutches and walked up confidently, and Kona behind her quickly followed.

...

Saint Anno, deck.

Two skinny, dark-skinned crew members grabbed a dark-haired boy from the left and right. The boy had a hideous look on his face, and he kicked his legs and shouted:

"Let me go! Do you know who I am? Bastard..."

But the two crew members had no intention of stopping. Although the boy was young, he was very strong. It took the combined efforts of the two to barely pull him into the cabin.

Inside the cabin, the muscular first mate Tai Shu came over, put his arm around the kid's waist, and shouted in a deep voice:

"Master Dak, please behave yourself! When Dr. Wang comes back later, you'll be in trouble!"

"I'm afraid of him?" Dakoto felt humiliated. "You think I'm afraid of him? You're a dog-like first mate. That shitty doctor gave you the job of acting captain and you... Ouch! It hurts, it hurts..."

The muscles on Taishu’s arms were as big as Dakdo’s head.

Dakoto struggled even harder, but it was useless. The stone pendant on his neck swayed back and forth in the air like a pendulum.

After a moment, Dakoto took a breath, then screamed even harder:

"My grandfather is the vice president of the General Alliance! If you don't let me go, I will definitely put you in Guandu Prison!"

Tai Shu loosened his arms in response, and Dakduo fell onto the deck, rolling and crawling towards the edge of the deck.

When he was climbing up the railing and trying to climb over, a strange black shadow happened to be on the deck railing, forming a black shadow bridge. Dakdo was so scared that he jumped back to the deck.

Tai Shu and the two crew members didn't understand the situation and kept retreating.

After a while, Kikuko came up slowly with a cane.

Kikuko, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto!

Tai Shu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out they weren't pirates.

He also remembered a report not long ago that said an alliance ship was approaching the Saint Anno, which should be the ship that Kikuko was on.

After Kikuko took a quick look at the situation on the deck, her eyes stopped on Dakodo.

She asked in a hoarse voice:

"Who is this brat? What are you arguing about?"

Dakduo seemed to have seen his own mother, his eyes were full of hope, and he shouted quickly:

"Granny Kikuko, you must help me! These people are the pirates' accomplices, accomplices! Catch them now!"

Kikuko glanced at him and asked Taishu in a cold voice:

"You're the captain? Where did this brat come from?"

"Uh..." Taishu pretended to cough, "I was originally the first mate, and now I'm the acting captain. As for this kid, he claims to be the grandson of the vice president of the Kanto region, but I don't know whether it's true or not."

"My grandfather is the vice president of the Kanto Alliance!" Dakoto repeated again and pounced on Kikuko.

Kona, who had just climbed onto the deck, was a little surprised. He watched his grandmother use her crutch to push the boy aside.

Kikuko's eyes were gloomy and her tone was unfriendly:

"So you are the grandson of that old man Abbott... You are on the boat all right? Do you still need someone to rescue you?"

"Woo..."

Dakoto covered the bruises on his arm and roared with gnashed teeth:

"Aren't you the king? Go and kill these pirates quickly..."

Kikuko ignored the kid and looked at Taishu who seemed to be in charge, and asked:

"What's going on? Did the higher-ups order us to redeem this kid first?"

“No…” Tai Shu shook his head slightly, pointed inside the cabin, and explained: “All the hostages on Octopus Island have been rescued.”

"Rescued?"

Kikuko was a little bit incredulous. She glanced suspiciously at the cabin and Taishu in front of her, wondering in her heart if Taishu in front of her was really a pirate in disguise.

The pirates had taken over the Sant'Anno, so they were able to transfer the hostages and then ambush them...

"Yes!" Tai Shu still responded enthusiastically, "It was Dr. Wang. He stopped the pirate group's night attack, and then controlled the pirate leader and asked him to bring the people here."

"Wang, Doctor?"

Kikuko pondered over the name Guandu, but it didn't occur to her mind that there was a doctor with the same surname.

Besides, why is a Pokémon professor on this ship?

She only heard that there was a Galar friend of Professor Yamanashi, and didn't know if there were any other professors.

Kikuko pressed her eyelids and clenched her crutches with both hands.

"Doctor? That Doctor Wang is so awesome..." Kona didn't have any doubt at all. With surprise on his face, he took out the notebook from his pocket and wanted to ask the doctor to record some Pokémon knowledge.

Tai Shu also smiled and said, "Of course, Dr. Wang is humble and calm. We thought he was powerless before, but he stunned all the pirates as soon as he appeared..."

Kikuko couldn't bear to listen any more.

In her opinion, researchers should focus on research, and trainers should focus on training Pokémon.

A person who can train Pokémon and do research to the level of a doctor... She has only seen this in Oki Yukinari.

Is there another bitch like Oki Yukinari in the world?

Kikuko couldn't help but interrupt and ask:

"What Pokémon does that doctor use?"

"It's..." Taishu was stuck, "It's...I don't recognize it. It should be a Pokémon from the Galar region."

Kikuko chuckled and asked the two crew members:

"Tell me! What Pokémon does that professor use?"

The two crew members thought about it and could only shake their heads and say they didn't recognize him.

Kona was also a little surprised. He opened his notebook and continued, "Why don't you call Dr. Wang out? I just want to talk to this doctor."

"This..." Tai Shu was a little embarrassed, "The doctor just said he had something to do and went to Octopus Island, and asked us to stay and wait for him."

"..."

The deck suddenly fell silent.

"Then wait a moment." Only Kona muttered softly.

After that, the deck fell silent again.

As Kikuko kept looking back and forth, the atmosphere gradually became a little unusual.

If the so-called "acting captain" in front of him is a pirate, then what that kid Dako said is true?

That explains it.
