Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Chapter 356 Sea-Broken Rock Cave

"Zheng——"

The blades collided, and a flash of fire appeared.

Wang Jin subconsciously drew out the dagger he carried with him almost instantly, just in time to block Aju's attack.

Aju broke free from Emrido's superpowers?

Wang Jin was a little bit unbelievable.

The A-Jie in front of him was agile. He used the force of the knife to quickly half-crouch and land on the ground, then continued to jump back several steps, like a retreating springtail.

Wang Jin came back to his senses and disappeared from the spot in an instant without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Ah Ju, who had jumped into the air, suddenly had his pupils dilated. A sense of cold sharp blade suddenly emerged from behind him, and before the blade even fell, it had already made the hair on the back of his neck stand up.

Aju tried his best to move his body, twisting his arm at a weird angle in mid-air, and while turning sideways, the back of the knife in his hand just managed to block Wang Jin's attack.

Instantly, a huge force was transmitted from the back of the knife to the wrist. Ah Ju's tendons trembled violently, the knife handle fell off, and his body twisted and fell to the ground.

"Oh!"

A muffled sound was heard from the gray-white broken rocks on the ground, causing the Team Rocket members who were about to gather around to speed up and flee in other directions.

After falling, Ah Ju leaned sideways on the rubble, holding his slightly bent right arm, curled up his body and gritted his teeth in silence.

Wang Jin stood in front of him and asked Emrido in his heart:

"What happened just now?"

Emrido replied softly: "On his waist, there is a device that can burst out powerful superpowers in a short period of time. I don't understand what it is..."

Wang Jin hooked his finger, and a cylindrical black device on Aju's waist instantly moved into his hand.

The black device is translucent in appearance, and the strange liquid inside can be vaguely seen, but it seems to have lost its energy.

"Can it only be used once..."

Wang Jin put it into his pocket and became more interested in Aju and Team Rocket in front of him.

If nothing else, Team Rocket's high-tech is definitely comparable to Legendary Pokémon.

Although we don't know how much this device costs, it is very unusual that it can temporarily help people break through the constraints of the master-level superpowers.

In front of him, Aju, who was lying on the ground, raised his eyes with difficulty, feeling a chill in his heart.

He didn't expect that the opponent's individual strength was so strong, and his own strength and the swordsmanship he was proud of were completely useless.

As long as he could hit the target with one blow, even if it was just a wound, Aju would be confident of turning defeat into victory.

Unfortunately, his first and most confident strike didn't even cut the opponent's clothes and he failed.

Plus, the other party has a superpower that is stronger than Nancy's...

There is no room for resistance anymore!

I can only die here today.

"Well, you are worthy of being Hunter A..." Aju said hoarsely, "But I have Nancy's superpowers in my head. As long as external superpowers intervene, my brain will be destroyed immediately. No matter what method you use, I will not hand over the organization's research results. Even if I die here, Boss Sakaki will..."

Hearing that it was just nonsense, Wang Jin knocked him out quickly and continued to search his body.

In addition to the disposable device, Ah Ju also had five Poké Balls, one of which contained a champion-level Crossbat, and the other four were all king-level poison-attribute Pokémon.

"It's a great harvest." Wang Jin put away the Pokémon with a smile.

Of course he wouldn't kill Aju for no reason, as that would be bad if it caused Sakaki to hunt him down.

At most, he can just take some winner's prizes... This is Galar's fine tradition. Even though the trainers outside don't understand it, it doesn't stop him from taking it himself.

Wang Jin put away the Poké Ball, glanced at the Rocket Team soldiers who had almost escaped, and didn't care. He walked directly to the dark cave with a rock mass not far away.

That place seems to be called Haishayan Cave, right?

Who cares what kind of cave it is? Just go in and take a look.

Wang Jin walked to the front of the cave and used his superpowers to explore inside as usual.

The cave tunnel was somewhat curved, with several long black data cables overlapping and extending out from it, connecting to some tents in the rock area.

Everyone in the tent had already run away, and Wang Jin did not go out of his way to look for them. There was only one ship outside Octopus Island, the Saint Annu, and Aju was still here, so the Rockets would come to "collect the bodies" anyway.

Wang Jin slowly entered the cave tunnel.

Thanks to the black mechanical lights installed by the Rockets on the inner walls of the tunnel, it is as bright as day inside and the road surface can be seen clearly at a glance.

Walking down the road, Wang Jin walked faster and faster, and soon reached the end.

It was a very spacious oblate cave, illuminated by many neatly arranged lights. In the center was a deep pool, in the azure water stood three tall stone pillars of strange shapes.

"You are..." a timid voice came from the side.

Wang Jin took a quick glance and found that they were members of Team Rocket who had originally stayed in the cave. Judging from the white coats they wore, they seemed to be researchers.

There were two researchers in total, one male and one female. The one who was speaking was the male researcher, both wearing thick glasses.

"I'm the new Pokémon doctor. I was invited by Team Rocket from the League to help you study Sea Crusher." Wang Jin spoke without hesitation.

The male researcher was visibly relieved, his demeanor returned to normal, and he continued typing on the large black computer in the corner.

But the female researcher still kept her head down, and kept pulling at her companion's clothes, trembling and calling in a low voice:

"Bai Tu, Bai Tu..."

Wang Jin had already come over and asked with a smile:

“Are there any research results?”

Male researcher Bai Tu pushed up his glasses and explained while looking at the computer:

"The current research has only found that there seem to be some strange factors in these sea rocks that can promote the secondary development of water-attribute Pokémon's bodies, and seem to have a certain effect on promoting the growth of their talents...but the specific reasons are still uncertain."

"Oh~" Wang Jin nodded repeatedly and glanced at the things on the screen openly.

It seemed to be some kind of black technology that directly projected the three stone pillars in the pool onto the screen. He couldn't understand how to study it specifically.

Wang Jin glanced at the shivering female researcher again and gave her a sincere and kind smile.

But the female researcher was so frightened that she couldn't stand it. She wanted to retreat and hide behind the computer, but she stopped deceiving herself and asked stutteringly:

"Hey, sir of the alliance... do you have any... mission?"

As she spoke, she pulled Bai Tu's coat even harder, which brought Bai Tu back to his senses as he was absorbed in looking at the data charts.

"what?"

Bai Tu looked at his assistant in confusion, then at Wang Jin who seemed to be obsessed with the data charts.

Wang Jin felt his gaze and turned his head, his eyes full of confusion.

"Azhi, what's wrong?" Bai Tu couldn't help but ask.
