Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"..."

Ah Zhi sat down weakly on the chair beside him, glanced at the crew members and passengers around him who were casting cryptic glances at him, and felt a little bit of self-destruction in his heart.

Anyway, they were rescued by Steel Crow and have been bound to him. No matter what, it's better than working illegally for Team Rocket, right?

As she thought this, she laid down on the table and stopped talking.

"Oh right!" Kashiwazu slapped his head and remembered something: "After we go to Sinnoh, should we visit Professor Yamanashi first?"

"Well... maybe I need to stay here for a while?" Wang Jin replied.

Bai Tu said excitedly:

"Great! I've been wanting to ask Dr. Yamanashi some questions for a long time. What I'm most curious about is what exactly Dr. Yamanashi has been researching in the past 20 years? A project that takes so long must be amazing..."

"Maybe."

Wang Jin really couldn't say it out loud. Dr. Yamanashi had been wasting the alliance's funding for the past twenty years... But it was precisely because Dr. Yamanashi had been wasting the alliance's funding for the past twenty years that it proved that he could do it too!

In academic research, high input does not necessarily lead to high output. That’s normal.

Wang Jin thought about it and continued to talk about superpowers with Bai Tu.

...

Second floor cabin.

In a room, Kikuko had a gloomy face and was sitting on a soft chair holding a cane.

The Gengar in front of her popped his head out of the shadows, grinned and made a face, trying to make her smile, but Kikuko's face remained unchanged, and she used her cane to push the Gengar back into the shadows.

"Mother-in-law, it's just some dead pirates, you don't need to worry so much..."

At the desk, Kona said, flipping through his notes.

Kikuko explained coldly:

"He is from Galar and has nothing to do with the Sinnoh region. He can just stay at the Yamanashi Research Institute and not leave."

She raised her eyes, paused and added:

"A Pokémon professor who was obsessed with research killed a few pirates. Even if those Sinnoh bastards wanted to find him, they couldn't. In the end, he just hid with Oak and avoided this incident perfectly."

"Hmm..." Kona closed the book, a little confused: "Isn't it good?"

Kikuko frowned, then suddenly sighed, and the wrinkles on her face relaxed a little. She advised like an ordinary old woman:

"Kona, rescuing hostages is our mission. In the eyes of the Sinnoh leaders, we are the only ones who can kill pirates..."

"What do you mean?" Kona put the tip of the black pen against his chin. "They will suspect that we killed someone and then put the blame on Dr. Wang?"

Kikuko nodded and said:

"Who would believe that a Pokémon doctor would be so powerful? After we arrive at the shore, we will definitely be pressured by the Sinnoh high-level officials. They might say that those islands are just ordinary ocean islanders and frame us for killing innocent people."

"But the Jellyfish Pirates are not good people..." Kona's voice became smaller and smaller.

Kikuko remained silent, staring at Gengar's two red eyes in the shadows, thinking hard.

Those pirates deserved to die, so just kill them. What she didn't want was that she and Kona would have to take the blame for that guy for a while...

On the other hand, the Sinnoh executives should quickly investigate the cause and then point the finger at Wang Jin.

What she was most worried about was actually Wang Jin.

There are too many mysteries about him.

After coming out of the most isolated Galar region, I met Professor Yamanashi. According to Kona, he is a famous Pokémon evolution researcher and the person who is most likely to be awarded a doctorate in the next two years...

And there are also unknown powerful Pokémon with super powers!

If Wang Jin's background is really innocent, the Sinnoh high-level officials will naturally be unable to do anything to him.

Kikuko's hoarse and gloomy voice slowly echoed in the room:

"I heard that Yamanashi chartered an entire ship to go to Galar to pick him up... The only question is, with what identity did Wang Jin leave Galar?"

Sinnoh, Galar, Kanto...

This Wang Jin will definitely be the center of regional alliance struggles in the future!

She said to Kona in a hurry:

"Kona, go ask the dean of the Silver Academy to check the latest announcement from the Galar Regional Alliance to see if there is a wanted notice for Wang Jin!"

After a while.

Kona put down the communication device in his hand and shook his head:

"There have been no announcements from Galar lately."

"..."

Does this Wang Jin really have a clean background?

Kikuko was silent for a long time, feeling a little self-doubting.

Her guess was wrong!

Could it be that Wang Jin really came out from Galar for academic exchange?

Then as long as this kid moves into the laboratory, she and Kona will have to take the blame for him!

Kikuko was filled with resentment, and once again used her cane to poke Gengar down when he showed up.

"Koujie~" Geng Gui felt a little aggrieved.

"Uh, Granny?" Kona asked carefully, "Since Mr. Steelix is ​​okay, I'll go down and ask him for some Pokémon knowledge?"

"..."

Kikuko's eyes were complicated, as if her own child's elbows were always bent outward.

She sighed and replied:

"Okay, go ahead. Remember to ask that kid to come over to my place to have a chat after you're done asking questions."

"Great!"

After Kona finished speaking, she rushed out and found that she had forgotten to bring her notebook. She patted her forehead, went back to get her notebook and pen, and walked out the door with her red hair shaking.

...

Lobby dining area.

Wang Jin patiently answered Bai Tu's questions:

"Pokémon evolution is not just a physical change. The physical fitness, moves that can be learned, and even attributes of the evolved Pokémon may change. Generally speaking, Pokémon can also learn new moves when they evolve. Once a Pokémon evolves, it usually cannot degenerate."

"Learn a new move?" Kashiwa discovered the blind spot and said hastily, "This is something that Dr. Yamanashi's evolutionary theory didn't mention."

"......" Wang Jin thought for a moment and replied: "It is mentioned now."

Bai Tu nodded repeatedly, and wrote with a black pen in his hand:

"So, you're helping Dr. Yamanashi complete the basic evolutionary theory?"

"Let's study together. Let's study together." Wang Jin really didn't dare to be greedy or arrogant.

"Oh..." Bai Tu nodded repeatedly.

As they were chatting, they heard hurried footsteps coming from the stairs not far away.

The red-haired girl with glasses holding a notebook hurried into the hall and her eyes immediately found Wang Jin sitting at the corner dining table.

It's Kona!

When Wang Jin saw her, he stopped talking and looked serious.

If Ke gets it, it means the real owner has also arrived!

Kikuko, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the old king of Kanto...

To be honest, given Kikuko's skepticism, if I see a rogue panda, I'd doubt whether it was dyed by the Growlithe.
