Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

On the mountain road leading from the wilderness to Suchuan Town.

A dark brown behemoth shaped like a steamroller rolled forward heavily and steadily.

About thirty meters away from the Rhyno, the fat and broad trainer retreated with difficulty, feeling the vibration of the road and the rock wall.

"Camille! What on earth is that thing in front? A top-level Pokémon? Which top-level Pokémon with nothing to do would..." The fat trainer kept mumbling to himself, and the short and strong man behind him was dragging him back with all his might.

"Stop talking nonsense, Buller. If we don't hurry up, we'll all die here!" Camille growled and dragged the overfat Buller back.

Buller continued to complain:

"Could it be that someone from the Alliance has arrived? What the hell is wrong with the guy in front of us? He can't even tell whether he can catch the prey or not. He must have been killed by the enemy... What a loser!"

"Stop nagging me or I'll throw you down." Camille said, and reached out to grope around Buller's waist. He finally pulled out a Poké Ball and released the Pokémon inside.

A deep yellow hippopotamus moved freely in the wind and sand, carrying the two people and running quickly.

Seeing that the beast was less than ten meters away from them, if they stayed any longer they would be trampled into a pulp. Buller didn't have the energy to complain about Camille's physical behavior, so he just lay quietly behind the hippopotamus with his head buried.

"Fuck! What the hell is that thing in front? A super armored mad rhino at the top of the world? Which lunatic..."

"Why don't you run away, you bastard?"

"It's definitely a League trainer! Here to clean up Tracing Town! Go back and tell the boss!"

Amidst the curses, the leisurely Hippomon led the two men past the yellow-robed hunters and Pokémon one by one. They soon reached the end of the mountain road and came to the gray-yellow stairs leading to Suchuan Town.

The sand and gravel had buried half of the stairs. Buller and Camille didn't care and just rode on the hippopotamus through the sand-covered town of Suchuan.

As the Pokémon flew by, pairs of vigilant eyes were also looking out of the windows of each household. Countless Pokémon of various kinds were loyally guarding in front of the door to prevent any bad guys from breaking in.

In such a chaotic sandstorm environment, all the rules have disappeared, thanks to a good start made by the unscrupulous wilderness trainers.

After Hippomon left, several unicorns and mudfish passed by quickly on the street. A large number of hunters and trainers swarmed in the town, accompanied by a slight tremor in the ground and mountains.

The residents hiding in the houses were also in a state of confusion.

"What happened?"

"What kind of ghost could be chasing us? A bunch of sewer garbage!"

"Is it someone from the Alliance or..."

Amidst the whispers, a large number of people in yellow robes quickly disappeared in the wind and sand.

But there were also some guys who had nowhere to go, so they just rushed to a door and started smashing it.

"Inside! Open the door! Or I will kill you all!"

"Open the door now!"

"Buzz~"

I only heard that one family had indeed opened the door, but before the man in yellow robe at the door could be happy, he was hit by a jet of flame and burned to half charcoal.

"boom!"

As the doors closed again, there was no more movement in the remaining houses. The desperate yellow-robed people ran around like headless flies.

At the entrance of Suchuan Town, a short and broad foot stepped onto the stairs at this time.

"Super Armored Rhino, keep going, cross the street ahead, and head west!"

When they arrived at the town, Wang Jin did not choose to take back the Pokémon, but continued to maintain formation with the other three and move forward at a constant speed.

He knew that the hunters in yellow robes in the wind and sand had retreated upon hearing the news, but he could not relax now.

One must be extremely careful as some organized hunters are watching them like hyenas.

While walking and observing each house, Wang Jin heard Malu's question:

"Is there a gym in Suchuan Town?"

"There is a gym." Ounio answered first.

Lurina also frowned, turned her eyes away, and said hesitantly:

"Don't gym leaders have the right and responsibility to manage the town? Then... where are the Suden gym leaders? And where are the group's troops? They're not here to maintain order?"

As he spoke, Wang Jin also looked in the direction of the Suchuan Dojo and ordered the Super Armored Rhino to move forward.

...

Suchuan Town.

Tracing the Daoist Hall.

The unique gray-yellow stone pillars are crudely and savagely piled up to form such a tall building, but they are also extremely strong and successfully block all wind and sand.

In a disc-shaped training ground inside, a group of Pokémon including War Dancer, Onion Ranger, Wrestling Hawkman, Strongman, Octopus Warrior, etc. were lined up, each swinging their weapons to attack the hard stone Pokémon targets.

In the corner, a girl with short gray hair was punching and kicking the heavy sandbag in front of her.

“Caidou, keep punching, try your best!” In the center of the training ground, a man in dark ancient cloth stood with his hands behind his back and scolded, “You have to remember! Fighting with those who are stronger than you is the key to growth. Even if you have no chance of winning, you must go all out to fight for a draw!”

"Yes! Father!"

Caidou responded loudly, and her hands and feet attacked more fiercely, causing her Pokémon to train even harder.

"Hmm..." The head of Suchuan Hall nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the closed door of the training ground.

As soon as he walked out, a timid, thin man came in front of him.

The thin man, dressed in a simple yellow cloth, knelt down and bowed, calling out repeatedly:

"Master, it's full of sand outside. Please save everyone..."

"Hmph! What the alliance does has nothing to do with me!" The head of the Suchuan Hall shouted angrily, kicked the man to the center of the hall, and shouted: "Come here! Who let this guy into the reception room? Huh?"

The thin man who was struggling hard was quickly thrown out by two strong warriors.

A tall and strong man in a white combat suit also walked over carefully and reported in a low voice:

"Teacher Gao Pu, that guy said he had something important to report, but he didn't tell me what it was, so I brought him here..."

"Dison..." Gao Pu stretched out his voice and glanced at Dison who lowered his head to the ground. "I told you not to let anyone in, didn't I?"

"Teacher, please forgive me! It's really..." Dyson put his hands on his knees and organized his words. "Some barbaric trainers from the wilderness formed a group, robbing and attacking everywhere, and even wanted to attack our gym..."

"There's just a little sand outside, right? Just a little sand!" Gao Pu raised his voice, his suppressed anger was about to erupt.

He strode out of the reception room and towards the gymnasium door.

Gao Pu didn't want to care about the damn Ross coming to Suchuan Town to cause trouble in the name of archaeology, but if the situation was serious enough to affect the daily training of the gym, he would have to drive him away!

"boom!"

The solid door made of rock was kicked open by Gao Pu.
