Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

A corner of the black market.

The tall and thin man with long braids looked at the W-shaped token in front of him with some embarrassment and shook the card reader in his hand.

"Sir, this is an old item from more than ten years ago. I only have a card reader, not an old scanner..."

"That's fine." Wang Jin pointed to the narrow door behind him, "Go call your person in charge and tell him I'm Hunter W."

"Okay..." The man with the long face turned and walked in.

Wang Jin rubbed the W-shaped metal block in his hand and waited patiently.

This piece of metal was originally seized from Baika and is a token of W, one of the highest officials in the Hunter Guild.

It's just that it's already an old generation of keepsakes, and now hunter guilds have updated to use card readers...

The last time I came here, I was also mistaken.

It is not clear how Baika got it. Did he really kill hunter W or did he get it by chance?

Could it be that Baika is Hunter W?

Unfortunately, Baika is dead, so we can’t get to the bottom of it.

After a while, the crimson wooden narrow door opened again, and a hunchbacked old man in a black robe walked over quickly.

The old man did not cover his face, and his Mediterranean-shaped head was exposed with a smile. He was the old man who received Wang Jin last time.

"Haha, long time no see, sir. My name is Furlan..."

Furlan was deeply impressed by Wang Jin.

With this body shape and temperament, plus the metal W token, it's perfect.

He was the ruthless person who had the guts to sell the elves of Team Rocket's executives.

Stealing the Pokémon of Team Rocket's executives and then selling them to Team Rocket through the Hunter's Guild is really reckless.

He's not afraid of the revenge from the Rocket Leader...

Besides, Mr. A seems to know this person.

Fulun hid his doubts and said respectfully with his head lowered: "Sir, please."

Wang Jin nodded slightly and followed him into the narrow door.

Seeing this, the man with long braids who had just run out quickly lowered his head and cooperated respectfully.

...

After going upstairs through the narrow door, Fulun led Wang Jin into the second room on the left.

There is a matching sofa and table in the middle of the room. The space is quite large, and there is a row of glass windows on the back wall, through which one can clearly see the situation in the black market below.

"What do you need?" Furlan rubbed his hands with a smile, his old and cunning face looked a little wretched.

Wang Jin sat in the middle of the sofa and said steadily, "A little information."

"intelligence......"

Furlan put away his smile, drew out the end of his words, and quickly added:

"I will give you a price based on your question. One price for each question. If the answer is wrong and you can prove it, we will pay you the corresponding amount as the cost of purchasing the information. But if you are simply dissatisfied, no refund will be given."

Such rules are normal, at least they are not unfair terms.

Of course, for Wang Jin, this is not really important.

If there is a problem, he would rather use his super powers than spend money.

Wang Jin pondered for a moment and asked, "Who are the current top seats in your Hunter Guild?"

Fulun immediately replied: "Five thousand Alliance coins."

The price is low because it is just a trivial issue. Any member of the Hunter Guild can give a rough idea, and even those who have been in the black market for many years can feel it.

After all, some seats have not appeared for a long time.

Wang Jin pinched out the banknotes and pressed them on the table, then pressed it over.

Furlan put them away with a smile, counted them with a touch of his hand, and put them all in his pocket.

"I am F, one of the highest-ranking officials in the Hunter Guild. I can tell you that there are only twelve of them left. The rest are either unreachable or confirmed dead."

"The twelve seats are: A, B, D, E, F, H, J, M, R, T, Y, and Z."

"No W?" Wang Jin asked.

Fulun's smile gradually faded: "I think you should know this question better than us."

Logically speaking, the ruthless trainer in front of him should have killed W with his token.

After all, they even dared to mess with Team Rocket, so killing the top seat of the Hunter Guild would be a piece of cake.

But this person asked if there was a W......

Is this token...

"I didn't get this thing by killing W." Wang Jinming said, "I stole it from a gym owner, so I'm asking you about it."

"..."

Furlan's expression was stiff.

Snatched from the owner?

His mind raced, trying to remember which of the League's most wanted criminals had recently arrived in Sinnoh.

But those wanted criminals are basically leaders of evil organizations with names and surnames, so why would they need to come to the Hunter's Guild?

Who is this person?

Wang Jin stared at him and asked, "Who is the financial backer behind your Hunter Guild?"

"..."

Furlan wiped the sweat off his forehead and didn't dare to look at the other person's mask.

He felt like he was being questioned by the league's top brass.

This feeling of oppression...

But this guy totally behaves like a wanted criminal, there is no way he could be related to the alliance.

"Well..." Furlan hesitated for a while, "It is not convenient for us to disclose the information of the sponsor who issued the task."

Wang Jin thought silently.

The sponsor who issued the task?

What he wanted to ask was the financial sponsor who founded the Hunter's Guild.

However, judging by the loose nature of the Hunter's Guild, perhaps only the core few top leaders know the identity of the founder.

As for issuing tasks...it is also possible that they are really just commanding these hunters in the form of issuing tasks. The specific situation still needs to be understood in detail.

Wang Jin asked again: "Do you know the unknown totem?"

"Unknown totem?" Furren subconsciously touched the Mediterranean Sea above his head. "There was a related S-level mission, but it was quickly taken away."

Wang Jin narrowed his eyes slightly: "What else? Who took over the mission?"

Hearing this, Furlan smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, I don't know your identity... but don't embarrass an old man like me. This kind of thing is definitely not allowed to be disclosed."

"How much?" Wang Jin asked again.

"It's not about money." Furlan hesitated for a while, "Unless you are one of us, otherwise..."

At this point, Furlan couldn't help but think of a rule that the founder of the guild had once established: after killing a supreme seat, if you snatch the token from his hand, you will be eligible to apply for the corresponding supreme seat.

After applying, as long as your strength is verified as usual, you can be promoted directly to the highest seat and become one of the twenty-six most powerful people in the Hunter Guild.

It’s a pity that there are only a few people who have truly relied on this rule to get to the top.

Because the twenty-six seats in the Hunter's Guild have never been filled.
