Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

The young trainer just turned his head mechanically, then took a stack of Alliance Coins from between his legs and hugged them tightly, sighing quietly:

"When I lost those 500,000 Alliance Coins, I had already lost trust in the Alliance. These champions and heroes have nothing to do with me."

"But brother, isn't the money back in your hands?" An Shu asked again, pointing at the Alliance Coin.

The young trainer held the money tightly with caution, then suddenly remembered something and quickly reached out to snatch half of the Alliance Coin from An Shu.

"What are you doing?" An Shu was anxious.

"Didn't you lend these 50,000 Alliance Coins to my dad?" The young trainer grinned, "Uncle An, why don't you return the money to me now?"

"But, but I originally..." An Shu was confused.

"Your other 50,000 Alliance Coins have already been lost in the first game!" The young trainer gave the final blow without any hesitation, "You won't come back!"

An Shu loosened his grip instantly, and 50,000 Alliance Coins disappeared before his eyes.

Looking at the half of the Alliance Coin in his hand, he felt sad, as if he understood the feelings of the little brother next to him.

No, the guy next to me is no longer my little brother, but a stingy, money-hungry, and hateful fellow villager!

...

Another part of the audience.

Ami stood up and held up the cheering sign, urging Songye who was sorting the alliance coins beside her, and said anxiously:

"It's Wang Jin, it's Wang Jin! Songye, didn't you like him before?"

"Before was before."

Songye put the sorted alliance coins into his pocket and said seriously:

“Wang Jin is indeed very strong, but I don’t think he can beat everyone in a round-robin match.”

"......Why?"

Ami was very confused.

Shouldn't support be continued to the end?

"He is indeed very powerful." Songye sighed, "But he is definitely not a master-level trainer. If the level gap is not big, even if the leader of Team Rocket is here, it is impossible for him to fight nearly ten champion and master-level trainers in a row."

"Besides, who knows what the Kanto team's battles will be like? Maybe half of the challengers will give up and surrender for no apparent reason, so won't he win?"

Songye's tone was a little sour.

If this is really the case as he said, then he can do it too, he can also become the Kanto champion!

After all, the Johto team had already surrendered in two suspicious matches before the start, so it is reasonable for the Kanto team to give up half and admit defeat in the other half.

If this was true, Songye swore that he would never believe the Alliance's lies again.

"How is it possible? How could the alliance ruin its own reputation like this?" Ami pulled Songye several times before Songye reluctantly raised the support sign again.

...

Another corner of the audience.

Piaotai thought about it, but still didn't raise the cheering sign in his hand, muttering:

"Forget it, let's wait until the first game is over and see how things go."

Go ahead. Before Denji could respond, a trainer in front of him turned around and said in approval:

"Right, we have to at least watch the first battle first...what if something goes wrong again?"

Dianci looked at the two of them without saying anything, but just held up the sign that read "Wang Jin will win" that he had prepared earlier.

"Hey!" The audience on both sides pulled his arms, "Dianci, don't be so superstitious about the alliance. Who knows if Wang Jin on the field was also deceived to come here?"

"Why else would he agree to be named the Kanto Champion?"

Hyota nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, how could a normal person agree to such a round-robin match, with more than ten Master Champion trainers... Even if you challenge the champion normally, it wouldn't be this difficult."

Denci shook off these people and explained, "Of course I know, but suspicion is suspicion and support is support. These are two different things. He doesn't need to stand to the end. As long as Wang Jin can beat half of the people fairly, it will be enough to prove that he has the strength to be the Kanto Champion..."

"And even if some lucky person finds the right opportunity to become the champion, he will definitely face challenges from everyone, and Wang Jin will win in the end. Although it is shameful to have the champion pre-determined, he has the ability to do so."

After listening to his words, Piao Tai was stunned for a moment, then thought about it for a moment and nodded with a smile.

Several audience members in front, behind, and around him also smacked their heads and nodded.

"That makes sense..."

...

"This is the final of the Quartz Conference, and it is also the challenge for the Kanto champion! Not long ago, we received an application from the first contestant who volunteered to challenge the Kanto champion first!"

When the host Jin Zhi finished speaking, his voice suddenly stopped.

Hearing this, many audience members also became agitated.

Actively choose the first challenge?

That’s not the most difficult part!

And since he took the initiative to challenge first, there is no way he would admit defeat. Otherwise, he would not be able to find any other excuse to pretend, which would be embarrassing for Chouchou Ni.

Some viewers also shouted out the names they expected:

"Dragon-crossing! Dragon-crossing!"

"Shiba, world fighting champion Shiba!"

"Sister Sirona, you must defeat this pre-determined champion..."

"Miss Kona, Miss Kona goes first!"

"It should be the Dan Emperor. The two are old rivals..."

Hearing these shouts, Jin Zhi, who was floating up and down on Magneto, couldn't help but curl his lips.

Even if these people say things like the game is unfair, the champion is predetermined, and there are shady dealings in the league.

But when the fight really starts, each one is more excited than the other.

After all, they have experienced so many competitions, and most of the trainers have won many fans with their strength. Who doesn’t want to see their favorite trainer fight with all their strength?

"The first contestant to appear..." Jin Zhi finally spoke, and stretched out his tone, and finally shouted: "It's the master trainer from the Galar region - Dante!"

"In the Galar Championship two years ago, Dan Di was slightly inferior to Wang Jin. But in this Quartz Conference, he is clearly well prepared. With the confidence of winning, he was the first to apply to enter the competition venue and challenge the Kanto champion Wang Jin!"

"Let us welcome this powerful Galar trainer - Dante!"

Jin Zhi bent his waist in mid-air and said all his words in one breath.

After a short moment of silence, the audience burst into a very unified voice.

"Dan Emperor! Dan Emperor! Dan Emperor!"

"The Undefeated Dan Emperor!"

"Come and defeat this shady champion of the league!"

In the contestant passage on one side, Dan Di lowered his head slightly and strode out.

The red cape embroidered with various patterns of the Marrokomon Group fluttered in the wind. The tight trainer's clothes outlined his well-defined muscles. His mature and dark face was full of determination.
