Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

On the top floor of the battlefield, in a VIP viewing room.

Wang Jin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, glancing at the situation below.

"Tsk, there are a few people."

Standing at the highest point, the scene below is clear at a glance.

As the Johto group finals were about to begin, the audience seats were not full yet.

It is visibly visible that compared to yesterday when the auditorium was packed with audiences and some people even sneaked onto the stairs to sit, the number of people in the auditorium is now about one-third less.

Not only the host and veteran trainers knew that today's battle was not of sufficient quality, but the vast majority of the audience could also feel that today's battle was destined to fail to meet their needs.

Yesterday's head-level battle had already raised their threshold very high, and today it suddenly became an ordinary championship-level battle...

...

"Champion-level Pokémon? A Pokémon of this level couldn't even last ten seconds on the battlefield yesterday? It was killed by the aftermath of a single move..."

"Yeah, he's just a small fry. Yesterday, let alone holding out for a single blow, he probably couldn't even stand in the arena where Steelix and Tyrannosaurus were fighting."

"No, you two, what level of trainer are you? Why do you call the champion level something like a Pikachu on the street?"

"..."

The contemptuous voices of many people were refuted by some impatient trainers.

Most of the people who mocked were ordinary residents who knew something about things like trainer levels, but not much.

But those who are trainers, especially the old trainers who have never reached the Elite level in their entire lives and remain at the Gym Master level, feel it is very harsh and uncomfortable.

Two novice trainers, two teenagers, both reached the champion level and fought against each other in the tournament finals, but were still mocked for being weak... Then what are these ordinary trainers who are struggling to achieve the king level?

"Heh, you're just trash. You don't even have any talent, so why do you want to be a trainer and burden society?" A researcher in a white coat pushed his glasses with disdain.

Some nearby researchers also echoed the sentiment.

"That's right, two kids can dominate the trainer finals, and the champions of the two worlds are held by two great Pokémon Doctors..."

"These ordinary trainers know they have no talent but still waste resources every day and use Pokémon to disrupt society."

"Why not send the elves to the research institute? At least they can contribute to the future development of the elf world."

These voices immediately angered many trainers below, and many of them even took out their Poké Balls.

But the researchers were not afraid at all, and the two teams confronted each other head-on.

Soon, the Alliance Investigator who noticed the situation came over to maintain order:

"Put down your Poké Balls! Take them back!"

"Wang Woo!"

A king-level Ardennes also bared its teeth and howled at those trainers.

Upon seeing this, most trainers simply weighed their own strength and had to sit back obediently.

But those researchers didn't want to let things go easily. One of them mocked loudly again:

"Look! This is how a bunch of rubbish uses Pokémons. They either fight or cause trouble. It's fine if they can't reason with them, but they just got scared when they saw that the Inspector's Pokémon was higher level than them. Where's the killing spirit they had just now? Did they get eaten by Arcanine?"

The trainers who had already put away their Poké Balls stood up again after hearing this, their faces filled with anger. It was clear from the get-go that this situation was not going to end so easily.

"hiss......."

The Alliance investigator who wanted to calm the situation was suddenly confused and stared at the researcher, but he couldn't scare him at all.

The two teams were on the verge of a fight, and the investigators in charge of other areas had to come over, but there was still no quick solution.

The key is, the finals are about to begin!

Is the game played down below and the audience up above?

How shameful!

And if something goes wrong, who will be responsible in the end?

The investigators who maintained order at the scene and stood between the researchers and trainers with great difficulty!

...

"What's going on there?"

Somewhere in the audience, Denci stood up and looked out.

The scene of the incident was quite far away from him, and it was a bit blurry no matter how he looked at it, but he could see that the two teams were entangled with each other.

"Are we going to fight?" Mrs. Piao was a little unsure and turned around to ask, "Big sister, can you see clearly?"

Sirona, who was sitting in the back, also looked at the situation there and nodded slightly: "It seems that some researchers and trainers have had a conflict."

"Oh, that's not surprising."

Piao Tai took out a communication device from his pocket, connected to the Internet, logged into the alliance forum, and showed the comments to the people on his phone.

"Yesterday, Wang Jin won the championship. The forum was peaceful at first, but it soon turned to a dispute between trainers and researchers. It was bloody again..."

The rivalry between trainers and researchers has a long history. When Ohki Yukinari switched from a champion to a researcher, he was scolded by many old scholars every day until he achieved many research results and became a doctor.

"That's it..."

Sirona frowned as she flipped through the arguments on the forum.

She is similar to Wang Jin, having two identities and she doesn't find it strange.

But in the debate, the two professions seem to be incompatible, and are described by both sides as one in heaven and one in earth.

"Forget it, let's see how the alliance handles it."

Sirona was also helpless and returned the device to Piao Tai:

"Otherwise, this battle between Red and Green will probably go down in the history of the alliance."

...

"It's over! We just solved the battle behind the scenes yesterday, and today we can make big news again."

Somewhere in the audience, Chibana, with an excited look on his face, took out a simple monocular telescope from his pocket and observed the situation.

The Dan Emperor, who was sitting next to him, crossed his arms, closed his eyes and shook his head:

"I guess there is some force messing around."

He had not been in Kanto for long, but he could already see the problem.

Just like in Galar about ten years ago, the Alliance and local families are fighting endlessly.

It was at the championship match two years ago that President Roz completely eliminated the interference of various families in the alliance.

...

"Damn it, which bastard is messing up such an important game again!"

Oki Yukinari jumped up from his seat and was about to run over to solve the problem, but hesitated and stayed where he was.

Today he learned from yesterday's lesson and put on a Ditto mask... If he just went there with his current face as a passerby, it would definitely not solve the problem.

Unless Professor Oak's identity is exposed.

But if the chaos was intentional, it is still a question whether Professor Oak's identity can calm those people down.

"Oh shit......."

Ooki Yukinari scratched his hair anxiously.

This is Xiaolu's most important battle. If something goes wrong, it will be all over!

Once researchers and trainers start fighting, there will definitely be casualties. Then... what should we do?
