Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Wang Jin summoned Haunter back into the shadows and walked back to the deck.

There were more and more crew members and passengers on the deck, and almost everyone gathered here.

The weather is good today, the sky is clear, and in addition to the largest group of long-winged gulls, there are also bird Pokémon such as royal swallows and proud pheasants flying to the railings to beg for food.

"Woo——"

The speed of the Sant'Anno was slowing down, and the ship seemed too big compared to the slightly narrow port ahead. But when the waves calmed down and the ship arrived at the port, it was just right.

The crew opened the railings and set up the alloy stairs that had been prepared long ago, and the passengers silently retreated to both sides.

The circling flock of long-winged gulls also spread out over a wide area.

Wang Jin didn't have much luggage, only a backpack. He nodded to the acting captain Tai Shu and several crew members, then walked towards the stairs. Behind him were Bai Tu, who was standing on tiptoe to look around, and A Zhi, who was just keeping his head down.

"Teacher Steelix, will you go to Kanto to attend the academic conference?" Kona, who was not far away, asked, holding his notebook tightly.

"Ok!"

Wang Jin nodded solemnly and bid farewell to the future King of Kanto.

He was about to go down the stairs when he heard another voice beside him.

"Dr. Wang!" Qiao Xiong, who was near the stairs, raised his hand and called out, "Goodbye, and have a safe trip!"

Wang Jin turned his head and saw Qiao Xiong and his wife waving goodbye, so he waved as well.

The three of them got off the boat quickly.

The alloy stairs were quickly folded up by the crew, the railings were closed, and most of the passengers on the deck left.

Still leaning against the railing, Qiao Xiong held his round belly, glanced around the deck with some doubt, and asked his wife:

"Where's Dakoto? Didn't he come to see Dr. Wang off?"

"Little Dakoto..." His wife looked worried, "Since leaving Octopus Island that day, he has hardly spoken. He stays in his room every day and rarely comes out."

Qiao Xiong nodded with regret, and looked at the port and beach that were getting farther and farther away. He wanted to say something, but in the end he could only sigh:

"Ugh......"

......

The southern beach of Masaga Town.

Dozens of apprentices and researchers, led by Dr. Yamanashi, almost jogged all the way to the port.

Dr. Yamanashi saw the St. Trianon docking from a distance, and the three people getting off.

The researchers at the back spread out in an arc, looking up and talking among themselves.

"These three people? Which one is Steel Crow teacher?"

"He should be wearing glasses and a white coat, like a researcher."

"The guy at the front is a bit grim, maybe he's a bodyguard."

"That seems to me to be the case."

"The little girl behind should be Steel Crow's assistant."

Amid the noise, Dr. Yamanashi snorted twice in a serious tone, suppressing the voices of others.

Although it is lively with many people, if there is no discipline, it is just like a vegetable market. How can this be a researcher who is passionate about academics? It is better to go home and buy tree fruits and learn how to make energy cubes.

Under Yamanashi's expectant gaze, the three men walked straight over.

But the closer they got, the more guilty Dr. Yamanashi felt.

Which one is Wang Jin?

The girl at the back is eliminated, and the remaining two people...

I can't tell the difference!

Yamanashi looked them over carefully.

A man in a white coat and glasses, casual, with messy hair, looks very happy.

The other one was wearing standard black casual trainer clothes, looking neat and tidy with a cold expression.

"Hiss, this..." Yamanashi had a headache.

He thought Wang Jin was the only one there, but there were three... He didn't even ask about Wang Jin's appearance!

Yes, he overlooked the most important point. As a Pokémon scientist with outstanding achievements, he must have an assistant with him. It would be embarrassing if he confused the assistant with Wang Jin himself.

Theoretically speaking, Wang Jin is the one walking in the front.

But it could also be a bodyguard.

Perhaps the King-level Haunter mentioned in the message from the Sinnoh executives is actually the Pokémon of this bodyguard.

It looks quite similar.

Yamanashi looked for help at Mingyao, his assistant.

Mingyao was experienced and understood the meaning immediately.

As the three people on the opposite side were about to approach, he shouted at the top of his voice:

"Teacher Steel Crow, I have long admired you!"

If you say this to the three of them at the same time, someone will definitely react. Even if Steel Crow teacher is actually the little girl behind, you can use this to test it out.

Wang Jin nodded slightly towards the man.

Seeing this, Dr. Yamanashi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately approached Wang Jin with a smile:

"I'm Yamanashi."

"Hello, Dr. Yamanashi. I'm Wang Jin, also known as Steel Crow on the Internet."

After Wang Jin shook hands with him briefly, they walked towards Zhensha Town side by side.

The dozens of researchers in white coats who followed were a little surprised. They made way for the two people to pass first, and then surrounded Bai Tu and Azhi from behind.

"Uh..." Even though Bai Tu was a brave man, he was a little panicked when he saw so many people blocking him: "What are you doing?"

Mingyao, who was in the lead, smiled:

"My dear brother, I am Dr. Yamanashi's assistant, Mingyao. May I ask..."

Soon, the two of them became familiar with each other and started chatting freely.

Surrounded by the attentive crowd, everyone slowly returned to the Yamanashi Research Institute.

Only Azhi, who had been keeping silent all the time, started to jog anxiously to catch up after realizing that there was no one around.

...

Yamanashi Research Institute.

Dr. Yamanashi took Wang Jin all the way to a laboratory specializing in the study of evolutionary magnetic fields.

He built a large-scale equipment for the evolutionary magnetic field, which can ensure that most Pokémon can enter and undergo magnetic field experiments, and also has a matching electromagnetic hypnosis function.

This equipment is placed in the center of a large laboratory, like a huge silver-white birdcage. The special glass covering the outside allows a clear view of the scenery inside.

"This instrument was built specifically for the evolving magnetic field experiment."

Dr. Yamanashi stood in front of the instrument and talked freely:

"We have now verified most of the known Pokémon. Except for some extremely rare special Pokémon and legendary Pokémon, we have completed the experiment to see if the rest of the Pokémon can evolve due to the evolutionary magnetic field."

Wang Jin nodded repeatedly, pinching his chin as he looked at the equipment.

Putting aside Dr. Yamanashi's specific research methods, the equipment itself is a bit too bulky and cumbersome.

It should be that in order to eliminate the influence of the Poké Ball on the evolutionary magnetic field experiment, Yamanashi did not let the Pokémon stay in the Poké Ball to be exposed to the magnetic field.

Under normal circumstances, Pokémon will actually evolve due to magnetic fields, but this was discovered through the Pokémon Remote Exchange Device.

"Do you think there's something wrong?"

Yamanashi felt a little nervous when he saw Wang Jin’s serious expression.

After all, this theory was proposed by Wang Jin, and Wang Jin should be the most qualified person to conduct research and experiments.

Wang Jin himself must have more ideas and stricter requirements.

Yamanashi felt a rare sense of uneasiness like an apprentice.
