Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"Ah? Brother Jin, I finally found you..." Maru hurriedly pulled Wang Jin out of the elevator and said, "The combat meeting will be held tomorrow... There is still a month before the tour begins, and the alliance must also start preparing."

"Prepare?" Wang Jin was confused by what he said, "What do you mean?"

Maru looked around and made sure there was no one else around before lowering his head and whispering:

"Do you know what the strength of the guy you are facing is?"

The corresponding guy? The opponent that needs to be challenged during the pilgrimage?

Wang Jin understood. His identity was in Jianding Town, and his opponent was the eldest son of Jianding Town - Nie Zi.

Wang Jin can recite all the Pokémon that Nie Zi can have, including Turban Gangster, Squid King, Block Bear, Tank Skunk...

Seeing Wang Jin nod confidently, Malu frowned in confusion and asked again:

"I mean the strength of the Pokémon! Do you know how many gym leader-level Pokémon he has and how many Elite-level Pokémon he has?"

"King level?" Wang Jin said doubtfully, and suddenly came to his senses.

The current level of these second-generation gym members may be at most the gym leader level, but since they have participated in the gym tour, they will definitely carry one or two Pokémon of their elders with them.

These one or two Elite-level Pokémon may very well become the biggest obstacles in the battle!

Wang Jin lowered his head in thought and asked:

"Didn't President Ross investigate the specific strength of those gyms?"

"The investigation process is very difficult. How could those gym owners easily leak information about their strength to the Alliance?" Maru continued, "The mission of our special team is also to detect their strength."

Some gyms may have lost several generations of talent, and the gym owner's own strength is still stuck at the gym leader level, and can only use one or two Elite-level Pokémon left by their fathers to save face.

But some gyms are extremely rich in resources and full of talented people, and they may even be able to produce champion-level Pokémon.

"Ah..." Maru sighed and put his arm around Wang Jin's shoulder. "I know my own situation best. Magua is the weakest one among them. The old bitch Meirong only has two of her father's king-level Pokémon, but I don't know if she will give one to Magua."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jin nodded slowly.

Zhanjing Town has declined in recent years, and he estimated that Spike Town is the same, with only two or three King-level Pokémon left. But Nie Zi's hard power should be slightly stronger than Magua.

"It is said that something will happen tomorrow and we need to gather together..." Maru said, and then asked, "By the way, where did you go just now? I couldn't find you on these floors."

"I went downstairs to walk the dog." Wang Jin replied truthfully.

"Walking the dog?" Maru's eyebrows twisted into two green caterpillars, with an unbelievable look: "My brother Jin, you still have time to do this... No, you do have time."

Maru felt bored when he thought of Wang Jin's champion-level Duolongqi. He was the second-best player in the team, but he was actually worrying about the number one player who had a cheat.

"I'm going to training. Let's see what happens tomorrow." Malu patted Wang Jin's arm twice, turned around and ran into the elevator.

Wang Jin went straight back to the bedroom.

He first gave Caterpillar and Doron Messiah a bath, and then took out his notebook to check whether his thesis had been reviewed by the group.

"Well, I passed..." Wang Jinsong breathed a sigh of relief and closed the notebook and stuffed it into his backpack.

What he was most worried about was that it would not be approved, and the group would not explain it. At that time, Wang Jin would not know the reason and would have to worry about whether he had to rewrite it, which would be very uncomfortable.

Wang Jin took out the energy cube and placed it in front of each Pokémon, and he also went to the cafeteria to eat.

He suddenly saw Gastly, who was full of energy and concentrating on chewing energy blocks, and remembered that he still had to continue training.

"By the way, Gastly..." Wang Jin hesitated for a moment and decided to talk about it tomorrow.

After all, we agreed to rest this afternoon. If we change our mind at the last minute, Gastly might become upset and become reluctant to train.

After he finished his meal, he returned to his bedroom and prepared to go to bed.

The night ended quickly.

...

The next day.

Early in the morning, just after Wang Jin finished his meal, the communication device in his backpack began to vibrate violently.

"Buzz~buzz~"

In the elevator, Wang Jin took out the small rectangular box and checked the information.

It said: Mr. Wang Jin, please go to the first floor of the group building, there is an urgent mission.

"Urgent task?"

Wang Jin simply pressed the button for the first floor, and the elevator went straight down to the first floor.

The elevator door opened, and only Granny Sha and Old Man Ruby were in the lobby on the first floor.

Granny Sha sat at the counter in her little red round chair, while old man Ruby leaned against the counter with his arms folded, his back to Granny Sha, and seemed to be at odds with her.

At this time, seeing Wang Jin coming down, Grandma Sha pressed the remote control in her hand, and the large-screen TV on the wall next to her turned on directly.

On the screen, a pretty beauty with short hair and a blue uniform said in a steady voice:

"Hello everyone, this is Galar Morning News. There is only one month left before the Gym Challenge officially begins. Galar's gyms are ready and can welcome participants at any time... Now, please allow League President Roz to give an important speech.

The screen turned and the female host disappeared. Instead, Roz appeared in a gray suit, and the background was his office in the Marrokomon Group.

"Dear audience friends..." Roz said with a faint smile, and the short beard on his face also followed the smile.

At this moment, Onio, Lurina and Maru also arrived at the first floor lobby one after another.

"Everyone knows the importance of the Gym Challenge to Galar. This is a grand event that takes place every three years. I sincerely hope that all challengers can achieve good results. After all, they are the most talented young people in each region..."

Roz spread his hands and laughed twice, then continued as usual:

"Now, let's ask our host to briefly introduce each challenger..."

As soon as President Roz disappeared from the screen, Maru asked Granny Sha quietly:

"Mother-in-law, what is our mission this time?"

"Don't be in a hurry, finish watching the news first." Granny Sha side-glanced at him, lowered her eyebrows, and signaled with her eyes that Maru should stand still.

Maru also understood what he meant, and leaned back, standing straighter than anyone else.

On the screen, a thin man was introducing the contestants with his hands and feet dancing in order to give the audience an impression in advance.

"After the strongest contenders for the championship, Dantei and Chibana, it's our much-anticipated talented fighting girl, Caidou! She comes from a fighting family in Suchuan Town! And there's Puna from Shuizhou Town! Her father, Nasan, was once a dark horse in the championship!"

Seeing this, Wang Jin keenly observed that Lulina, who was also from Shuizhou Town, was staring at the image of Puna on the screen.
