Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

“Mercy! Mercy, Mercy!”

The waiter who was pinned against the counter begged for mercy. Facing the sharp dagger Wang Jin had taken out, his calves were shaking so much that they were about to cramp.

"Tell me, how can we get out?" Wang Jin asked.

"Where... where are you going?" The waiter was still playing dumb, pointing to the door of the shop next to him and said, "The coffee shop door is over there..."

"Squeak!"

The dagger pierced the waiter's arm and easily penetrated the solid wooden counter, and the waiter's face turned purple.

Wang Jin pulled out the knife, carefully examined the blood on it, and continued to ask:

"How do I get back to the real world... tell me or not?"

"You...you know this is fake?" The waiter began to struggle, but when he found that Wang Jin's strength was far beyond his, he gave up.

Wang Jin wiped the back of the knife with the waiter's black vest and replied coldly:

"Oh, this is bullshit. You can't even get out of the shadows, you're the only one in the cafe, and the menu looks like second-hand goods... And the leather sofa there, is the farthest one not loaded? Is it a bug?"

"If you can't tell this is fake, then who do you think I am? A Pokémon baby that runs after people when you give it food?"

"Woof~"

Before the waiter could say anything, the Caterpie next to him jumped and wagged its tail in grievance. It felt that the Pokémon cub who ran after people when given food was talking about it.

Wang Jin glanced at him and ignored him, instead pressing the dagger against the waiter's forehead.

As long as the waiter didn't answer, he would perform a craniotomy on this guy to find out what the hell was going on.

"No, no, no!" The short knife pressed against the waiter's forehead made him a little scared. Besides, Wang Jin was originally rough... If he died here, he would have no place to seek justice.

"Actually..." Seeing Wang Jin's sharp eyes, the waiter sighed helplessly: "There are too many people, and the illusion in front also needs to be maintained. The energy transmitted by Lord Cang Xiang and Lord Zang Marant is not enough..."

"Then what? How do we get out?" Wang Jin continued to ask.

The waiter didn't say anything, but trembled all over, and then slowly turned into a mischievous little demon with a round head and a slender body.

The Trickster looks like the traditional mischievous goblin. It has a small body, thin limbs, pink skin, and a purple tongue and two fangs in its big mouth.

"Oh?" Wang Jin understood a little, but then he began to wonder, "You seem to have some fairy-like energy? Where did it come from?"

At present, when Xerneas has not yet revived, most of the fairy attributes should be dormant. Although Pokémon like Trickster have both evil and fairy attributes, that is also a matter of the future. Currently, it is only a Pokémon with evil attributes.

"It is the power of Lord Cang Xiang..."

The mischievous little demon replied carefully in a soft voice, feeling an inexplicable fear towards the human in front of him who seemed to know many things.

More importantly, as a qualified Pokémon, its physical fitness is completely inferior to that of the opponent, and it has no power to resist at all.

"Hmm..." Wang Jin nodded continuously, and then patted the round face of the mischievous little demon with the back of his knife. The blue crow on his shoulder also stared at the mischievous little demon, ready to guard against the other party's possible attack at any time.

"How to get out? Tell me quickly!" Wang Jin asked again.

"This..." The mischievous little demon looked at Wang Jin, then looked at Lan Ya who looked unfriendly, and then lamented: "You passed! You passed the test... Is this okay?"

As soon as the words fell, in an instant, all the scenes around him collapsed rapidly.

The coffee shop fell into the dark abyss like a puzzle piece smashed by a giant hammer. The street outside disappeared in a trance, and was replaced by the dazzling white scene before.

The giant dog with dark blue hair appeared again, and with a strange and helpless look, it watched Wang Jin's body gradually return to reality.

Originally, some memories needed to be cleared in the illusion, but Wang Jin managed to hold on until Maru and the other two fell down before closing his eyes. Cang Xiang also found that it was too troublesome to reshape some memories for Wang Jin, because there were actually two different memories in it...

How did Arceus allow such a guy to exist?

Cang Xiang was puzzled, so he had to stop thinking and choose to accept it.

Anyway, Arceus has his own deeper meaning.

...

Underground crystal cave.

In a blue crystal forest, Wang Jin opened his eyes with difficulty.

There seemed to be a string in his brain that was stretched tight, forcing him to break free from his still tired sleepiness, and then he forced himself to sit up.

"Huh...huh..."

Wang Jin gasped for air and regained consciousness. He shook off the bandage still wrapped around his arm and observed the gray uniformed troops scattered around.

Wang Jin stood up and then heard Duolongqi's voice.

"Duolong!"

Duolongqi then showed up, and after quickly walking around twice to make sure Wang Jin was okay, he stretched his neck and called out towards a blue crystal forest.

Wang Jin looked over and found that the Soul-Catching Eyes that was originally outside the cave was now lying quietly on the ground, as if it had also entered into an illusion and fallen asleep.

However, there was a long red bloodtrail winding behind the Soul-Catching Eyes, and Wang Jin also found that both of the Soul-Catching Eyes' claws were covered in blood.

'It comes in and kills people!'

Wang Jin immediately strode towards the entrance, and Duolongqi then grabbed him by the back of the collar and flew up, floating across the blue crystal forest at full speed.

Looking down, along this conspicuous bloodstain, all the B5 unit members along the way had cuts on their chests and were dead.

Wang Jin frowned, very worried about Maru and the others.

Duolongqi slid down from midair to the high slope at the entrance. Wang Jin also saw that there was no blood on the chests of the three people, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled Maru up and shook him vigorously a few times. Seeing no response, he stretched out his finger to feel his breath.

"Still alive..." Wang Jin threw Maru to the ground, then walked to Lurina and checked, and found that she was breathing.

And Ounio, his Wandering Night Spirit also fell asleep, and Ounio was lying in the claws of the Wandering Night Spirit.

"There's no need to check this..." Wang Jin said, calling Duo Longqi over, and flew towards the Blue Crystal Forest again.

Wang Jin remembered that there were rotten swords and shields in it, which were the exclusive props of Cang Xiang and Zang Marant. If they were held in their mouths, they could transform into the forms of the King of Sword and the King of Shield.

"Wooden sword and wooden shield..."

In mid-air, Wang Jin quickly discovered the dark bronze platform at the end, as well as the grooves for the sword and shield.

Just as he was wondering about the empty space in the sword groove, Duolongqi descended directly and saw the wooden sword fallen to the ground.

In mid-air, Wang Jin was about to pick up the wooden shield, but then stopped.

Since he successfully came out of the illusion, he should not enter it a second time. But it is necessary to be careful, because after the sword and shield are picked up, everyone else may recover from the illusion.

Especially the enchanting eyes still lying in the blue crystal forest.
