Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Chapter 282 Nathan's Emergency Decision

The battle field of Shuizhou Gym.

The battle between gym owner Nasan and Puna is coming to an end.

On the battlefield, there were two large-billed gulls that were constantly entangled with each other.

They glowed with grayish-white light at the same time, and separated in mid-air at a very fast speed. Even the extremely high-precision cameras around them could not fully capture their movements.

Referee Ryan shouted:

"Excellent! Puna is very strong and has a lot of experience in battles. She used two Pokémon to defeat Nathan's two Pokémon. Now they released a third one at the same time, both of them are Sablefish!"

Nathan at the side of the field said coldly:

"Gull, use Storm!"

On the battlefield, the larger and higher-level great-billed gull paused for a moment, and its white wings flapped slowly and then immediately accelerated, leaving only a white shadow visible.

Without further ado, Puna, who had been prepared, immediately shouted:

"Gull, use Lightning Flash! Add wings to attack!"

Before the storm started, Puna's gull was faster and had already arrived in front of Nathan's gull. The impact of the lightning interrupted the storm move, and two wing attacks also slapped over from the left and right.

In just a moment, Nasan's gull let out a wail and fell directly from mid-air.

Referee Ryan immediately responded:

"Nathan's gull was attacked and fell! Has it lost its ability to fight? Nathan has taken his gull back! The battle is over!"

Puna raised her hand with a smile, and after Nathan handed her the badge symbolically, he quickly escaped into the passage at the back.

The battle with Puna is over, and now it's time to take a break from the Gym Tour Challenge.

Intermission.

Another filming team will be selected from the venue to go to Route 5 in the west to film the road-blocking challenge between Puna and Lurina.

Nathan is very anxious now and moves extremely quickly.

For at least the next hour, he will not have any scenes and will not need to appear in front of the camera.

He walked all the way out of the contestant channel into the corridor of the Shuizhou Gymnasium, and then passed through the hall and the gate and arrived at the entrance of the Shuizhou Gymnasium.

"Come out, toucan!" Nathan immediately released the toucan that he had just fought with and had lost its ability to fight.

The toucan gulls were chirping softly as they flew in the air. They looked injury-free and full of energy.

Nathan waved his hand lightly, and the gull stretched out its claws to grab his shoulders, lightly lifted up his heavy and huge body, and flew towards Route 5 on the west side.

At the corner of the gym's gate, in the shadows next to the marble stairs, Wang Jin sat on a chair, watching the owner of the Shuizhou gym go away, with doubts in his heart.

"What is this Nathan...going to do?"

Wang Jin stood up, looked at the large-billed gull flying to the west with Nathan, and quickly put away the folding chair behind him.

"Little A!" he called softly.

The symbol A quickly popped up from his shoulder: "What's wrong?"

"Follow that large-billed gull and see what's going on." Wang Jin whispered.

Symbol A nodded slightly, then used his superpowers to cover himself and Wang Jin, and they disappeared at the same time.

...

Nathan must seize the opportunity to find Lurina!

Now that the challenge of the Shuizhou Gym has come to a temporary end, the staff of the Group and the Alliance are resting and preparing, and no one is paying attention to Lurina who is waiting at the corner of Route 5!

He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to snatch Lurina's King-level Pokémon and then exchange it for the gym leader-level Pokémon...

After failing to stop Wang Jin, his daughter Puna is his only hope. He must ensure that Puna wins and then enters the championship.

Nathan knew with his toes that Ross would definitely do something when the championship started and temporarily change the rules and reward and punishment mechanism of the championship... For example, the gym leaders in the future would be determined by the ranking of the championship. The champion would be the league champion, but the trainers after him could become gym leaders.

Then the situation of the old gyms would be precarious... No, the old gyms have plenty of geniuses and Pokémon, so they don't have to worry at all.

His old and declining gym is in danger of being replaced by emerging trainers.

These should be the people that the group focuses on training, Maru, Onio, Lurina... Wang Jin should not be able to escape the group's clutches.

Nathan's own strength is at most a Elite-level water-attribute trainer. Although it is very good compared to the vast majority of ordinary gym leader-level trainers, he is just a roadside scout bug in front of the group.

The hope of continuing the Shuizhou Gym lies in Puna and this time's time difference!

Puna's information has been leaked by him, and Lurina's strength must be weakened!

Nathan had a gloomy face and his heart was as cold as ice.

"Ouch~ Oh~"

The toucan gulls flew quickly in the sky, chirping happily, and the clean and tidy water town beneath them was quickly receding.

Under his orders, the residents and pedestrians in Shuizhou Town stayed at home and watched the Dojo Tour program on TV or listened to it on the radio. In short, they had to stay at home and try not to go out.

Nathan cannot guarantee that all townspeople are well-mannered and will show their good side in front of the camera, but he can prevent them from appearing.

As long as the Galar audience can't see it, his Water Boat Town will remain as neat and clean as ever.

The residents are warm and amiable as expected.

Those tourists probably prefer less crowded attractions, right?

Nathan was thinking that the toucan had already flown westward out of Shuizhou Town.

The gray-white cement road extending from the town gradually became thinner and lighter, and weeds and green plants gradually grew on both sides of the road.

There was almost no one here, and Lurina could be clearly seen from the sky. She was leaning against a large yellowish-brown rock, throwing a red and white Poké Ball up and down.

Lulina quietly looked at the sparse woods in front of her and did not notice that a large-billed gull had come overhead.

"Very good..." Nathan muttered in a barely audible voice, "I saw it at a glance."

"Ugh~"

The toucan glided down and soon landed on the open space next to Lurina.

The obese Nathan also landed at the same time.

Lurina subconsciously turned her head to take a look and was stunned. She caught the Poké Ball that fell in her hand but did not continue to throw it up.

"Suifune Pavilion Master...Nathan?"

She muttered something, somewhat strangely.

What is Nasan doing here? Shouldn't it be a gym challenge now?

According to the original schedule, we should have just arrived at Puna's gym for the challenge.

"Om-"

The communication device in Lulina's pocket vibrated slightly. She took it out to check and saw a time adjustment notice from the group.

Puna's gym challenge is over, and she has to prepare for the roadblock challenge immediately.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, a strong airflow came from her side, and Lulina subconsciously stepped back to the side to avoid it.

The sharp blade of air hit the ochre-colored rock behind her, stirring up a light smoke and dust.
