Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"By the way, isn't there a gym here? I'd like to stop by and visit."

Wang Jin asked.

He remembered that there was a flying gym in Inyu City, and the owner was Naqi.

But even in the original animation and the game, Naqi is too young. In the current timeline, she may not have become the Inu Gym Leader yet?

Wang Jin wasn't so sure.

Bai Tu pointed in the direction and took him there: "There is the Yinyu Gym. The owner is a very kind uncle. You will definitely be happy to meet Steel Armor Crow teacher."

A very kind uncle?

Wang Jin tried hard to recall for a moment, but still had no impression.

The two walked southwest from the lake. The surrounding trees looked like a primitive giant forest, and the houses above seemed to be the residences of elves, all built at a height of several meters or even more than ten meters.

"If these houses are built too low, they may not get any sunlight." Bai Tu has lived here for two months and is already familiar with this area. "But Yinyu Dojo is an ancient building. Hmm... like an altar?"

Bai Tu scratched his head, finding it difficult to describe the appearance of Yinyu Gym.

After walking for more than ten minutes, we could vaguely see a towering gray-white stone foundation at the southwest edge of the forest. A long staircase led to the top, which was taller than the tallest trees.

This is the same as Wang Jin’s impression of the Yinyu Dojo, and it really looks like an altar-like place.

After walking in, you can find two stone Pokémon statues on the middle and bottom platform of the altar, namely Charizard and Armorbird.

Behind the statue is a passage that should lead into the altar and into the Yinyu Gymnasium.

As soon as the two walked up the stairs, the gym trainer who was guarding the statue at the gym entrance ran in.

When they reached the platform of the statue, a tall, thin, middle-aged man came out of the passage. He had an elegant face, was about forty years old, and wore a blue and white robe. He looked like the owner of the Yinyu Gym.

When Bai Tu saw him, he waved and said, "Master Baron!"

Barron on the platform smiled and nodded in response, then looked at Wang Jin next to him with an inquiring look, and asked after taking a look:

"Sir, are you a trainer who comes to challenge me?"

Hearing this, Qiao Xiong at the back had a strange look on his face, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Wang Jin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the Yinyu Pavilion Master in front of him didn't recognize him. However, he couldn't say anything like "Don't you even know me?" He just shook his head and said:

"No, Master Barron, I'm a doctor from the newly built research institute next door, and I'm here to visit."

Barron opened his mouth in silence for a moment, and immediately thought of the news he had heard about the new professor in Hoenn. It was said that he was very young, but he did not expect that the person who suddenly appeared in front of him was him.

He had lived in Yinyu City for many years, almost like a hermit. Apart from the telephone, he had hardly ever used television or a computer, and most of the news he heard was just hearsay.

It was some time ago that the Hoenn Alliance called and informed us about the establishment of the research institute.

Although Barron was concerned, he had never thought about or known that he could use some electronic equipment to understand his neighbors.

He quickly changed his words and apologized:

"Oh! Haha, I'm so sorry, Dr. Wang... please come in."

Barron turned and extended his hand.

Wang Jin waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Master Barron. I came here just to meet you and get to know you. Forget about today. I will visit you again after the research institute is built."

"Okay, okay, take care!" Barron breathed a sigh of relief.

He heard that Dr. Wang was a trainer with considerable strength, but he was still a little worried that he was young and energetic, and might come to challenge him just because of a misunderstanding, which would be troublesome.

Fortunately, there weren't that many troubles.

Barron looked at the backs of Wang Jin and his group, feeling a little emotional. After waving briefly to the two disciples beside him, he walked back into the gym.

On the stairs, Qiao Xiongxian laughed out loud:

"I remember that Gym Master Baron has never been out of Inyu City. There are no electronic devices here. I'm afraid he doesn't even know the two new kings of Hoenn."

Bai Tu thought about it and said, "One is called Huayue and the other is called Bonnie."

Wang Jin asked, "Does this Barron gym leader have any children? In Hoenn, gyms can be inherited, right? He seems to be quite old."

Qiao Xiong pondered for a moment, then came over and explained in a low voice: "Master Barron does have a daughter named Naqi, but..."

Wang Jin cast an inquiring look at him.

"It's just that Naqi is very obsessed with the gorgeous contest that has been popular in recent years, and wants to become a gorgeous trainer. In particular, there is a young man named Mikoli, who is one of the most representative figures in the gorgeous contest. Miss Naqi also likes him very much."

After a few moments of hesitation, Qiao Xiong added, "Our chairman's son, Daigo, is a good friend of Mr. Mikoli."

After listening, Wang Jin nodded briefly and did not ask any more questions.

Speaking of the beauty contest, the beauty research he is preparing to release in the next phase is related to this.

During this period, Wang Jin used some of his spare time to write a number of research papers on beauty, the only thing missing was related Pokémon experiments.

He planned to complete the evolution experiment report of the chouchu fish with Odamaki first, and then hand it over to Kashiwado after the research institute was built.

Once the breeding park is built and the relevant research funds from the alliance are approved, there will be no need to worry about running out of elf experiments.

As for Mikoli...

In the original animation and game, it was clearly stated that he was a member of the Liuli Clan and should be a leader of the younger generation. I just don't know what the purpose is for promoting the gorgeous competition so ostentatiously.

After all, those ancient ethnic groups were people from the previous kingdom. Under the rule of the alliance, it was really not appropriate for them to show up in public.

Perhaps many people in the alliance are from ancient ethnic groups, but it would be difficult if their identities were exposed in public and they were despised.

Because when the alliance was first established, it clearly overthrew the kingdom system and sent many kings and nobles to the gallows.

These ancient ethnic groups hold many secrets of the elven world, such as some legendary Pokémon, unknown totems, etc. The previous hunter J Jonah was a member of the People of Glaze, and most of the unknown totems in her hands should have been found with the help of the People of Glaze.

But for now, it has nothing to do with Wang Jin.

If those guys become enemies, he wouldn't mind letting Hunter W take the Hunter Guild and Legendary Pokémon to have some fun with Mikoli.

Before they knew it, they were at the lake again.

"I will go to Dr. Odamaki's research institute later. If you have anything, you can find me there..."

Wang Jin said this, said a simple goodbye to Bai Tu, and left with Shafiya, who was squatting by the lake in a daze.

Now it’s time to go to the last stop and visit Dr. Odamaki.

"Mr. Qiao Xiong, is it troublesome to go to Mobai Town now?"
