Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"Strong Shield!"

The blade of the Shieldsword Monster rose from bottom to top, carrying with it increasingly dense evil energy, leaving a brown-black trail in the air.

The golden sword blade passed heavily through the cracks in the azure space, but did not hit any elf.

"A strong shield?"

While the Shield Sword Monster was still confused, a space crack appeared around him again.

In the blink of an eye, these cracks appeared at an extremely rapid speed, one after another, surrounding it tightly.

In just two breaths, the Shield Sword Monster had just recovered from the remaining force of the sneak attack when a deep shadow ball shot out from the cracks at the same time.

"Oh!"

More than a dozen shadow balls hit the shield sword monster in the center at the same time, and the explosion dispersed the surrounding red fog one after another.

Dan Di stood there in a daze, the aftermath of the game created a strong wind that blew up his clothes.

"Failed..."

After muttering to himself, he took out the Poké Ball and quickly took back the Shield Blade.

In the center of the arena, the smoke and dust dissipated, and Mega Gengar was still floating in the air with an evil smile.

At the top of the battlefield, the host Jin Zhi stepped on Magneto and fell down, speaking at a high speed and in a high voice:

"The Shield Sword Monster has been taken back! All of Dandi's Pokémon have lost their ability to fight... This battle, the first match of the Kanto group in the Kanto Quartz Tournament Finals, ended with the perfect victory of the champion Wang Jin!"

"In the first round of the Kanto Group Championship Challenge, Dan Di failed in his challenge!"

"Please prepare yourselves, next challenger!"

The sound spread throughout the battlefield through the radio.

This giant battlefield was also filled with unusually enthusiastic cheers and shouts.

Even though all the audience were mentally prepared, they couldn't stop being excited when they saw Gengar actually complete the team push.

"Handsome Gengar! One against six!"

"Wang Jin, champion! Wang Jin, champion!"

"Witness history, a master-level battle, the strongest champion battle..."

"This is a round-robin battle that has never happened before. Can Wang Jin really win?"

"Fuck it, I'm going to bet everything I have on it, I'm going to blow it up!"

The sounds from the audience spread, and the increasingly excited crowd raised their cheering signs and waved them. Many people took advantage of this great opportunity to take a break and ran to the league's official handicap to continue placing bets.

In the arena, Wang Jin raised his right hand and nodded to the spectators.

...

Dan Di walked back to the lounge along the contestant passage as if he had lost his soul.

He almost didn't remember how he left the arena. He kept his head down all the way, with the battle just now still in his mind.

"Dan Emperor, Dan Emperor?"

It was not until Chibana slapped his shoulder several times that Dandi raised his head with a confused look on his face.

"Are you fucking stupid, Dandi?"

Qibana stretched out his hands and pressed both sides of Dandi's head, tilted his neck back, and slammed his forehead into him:

"Isn't it just losing a battle?"

The Dan Emperor was knocked back five or six steps by the headbutt, and the pain made his mind clearer. He stopped and covered his forehead, gasping for air.

Chibana's attack was quite powerful.

"Are you awake?" Chibana also rubbed his head with his teeth bared. "Didn't you lose more miserably last time? What are you thinking about?"

Emperor Dan gritted his teeth and looked at him with a tangled expression:

"I'm reviewing and reflecting! Why did you bump into me?"

"...Haha, it's okay."

Chibana plopped down on the sofa as if nothing had just happened.

Dan Di didn't bother to argue any further and just sat next to him.

In the lounge, the discussion was particularly clear.

"That Gengar isn't seriously injured, but Mega Evolution will continue to consume the physical strength of the trainer and the Pokémon. We just need to delay the current transfer time a little bit."

Kukui spoke earnestly to the crowd:

"Wait until Wang Jin can no longer sustain the super evolution state. He won't be able to use it a second time in a short period of time."

After saying that, Chi Hong was the first to stand up and refute:

"How despicable! This kind of round-robin battle is disadvantageous to the master. You have more people than me, and you still use this method to delay time..."

"Little Chi!"

Qinglu quickly pulled him back and smiled apologetically to everyone:

"He doesn't understand the battles of the Kanto Group very well, sorry..."

"No, what Red said is right." Xiba then stood up and said calmly: "It's just that Gengar is very strong. After Mega Evolution, it should have reached the level of a leader... It should be said that I am lucky to have this opportunity to fight against a leader-level Pokémon."

Hearing this, Kukui, who had been looking at Chihong coldly, stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Is it good luck to fight against a master-level elf?

If a trainer does not care about the benefits that can be gained from any competition, a trainer who fights purely for the sake of fighting will certainly feel happy.

But as far as he knows, Xiba's main purpose of coming here is to find a position in Kanto or Johto Alliance, right?

And using a Fighting Pokémon to fight a higher level ghost is crazy!

Pure fighting doesn't exist...

"If you don't mind, I'll be the second one to go on stage."

Shiba said, turning and walking towards the door of the lounge.

Kukui continued to remain silent. Among the other trainees, Sirona and Kona also looked hesitant, but still did not compete with Shiba.

In any case, it would be unwise to challenge Wang Jin who has Mega Gengar now.

No one expects a losing battle unless the reward is exceptionally high.

...

"Very good, the second challenger is Sheba."

In the lounge at the top of the battlefield, in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Damaranki muttered quietly.

He looked contented, glancing at the celebratory battlefield, nodding his head repeatedly, very satisfied.

As expected, Wang Jin lived up to his expectations and even exceeded many expectations. He actually accomplished the feat of using Gengar to defeat six enemies alone and quickly defeated the first challenger, Dan Emperor.

With such big news worth discussing, no one paid attention to the chaos caused by the Galaxy team before the game started, nor the two horrific surrender incidents of the Johto team.

Damaranchi turned around and picked up a document. He looked at the information about Hiba and said to himself:

"Shiba... Kanto or Johto? They're both good..."

...

"Contestant Dandi has left the battlefield. Please invite the next challenger to enter the battlefield..."

The host Jin Zhi received the message and started to introduce it with the microphone:

"The next challenger is the world fighting champion - Xiba! He is proficient in fighting, and the fighting Pokémon in his hands are top-notch and fierce."

"I wonder what kind of battle this world-renowned and powerful trainer can bring us..."
