Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Chapter 227: Magua and the Battle of Jing Town Gym

The hot spring pool was filled with mist, and the door at the back was suddenly pushed open. An ordinary trainer from the Battle Gym in a white uniform leaned half of his body in and shouted to Magua, who was bathing with his back to him and squinting his eyes, in front of him:

"Master Magua... the TV station people are here, and the gym challenge will start in ten minutes... Lady Meirong asked me to call you..."

"Got it." Magua snorted, somewhat dissatisfied with the staff member who ruined his nap.

As the magua in the pool stood up its bloated and fat body, the staff member breathed a sigh of relief and retreated through the crack in the door.

After a while.

Battle competition gym battle field.

The walls made of slightly brownish beige marble were very tall and very effective in keeping out the cold. The hot air and water vapor leaking from the hot spring pool quickly formed a layer of mist beads on the marble surface, forcing the cameraman standing by to take a few steps forward.

On one side of the central battlefield, Meirong stood there with short white hair, her body wrapped tightly in a white down jacket and a long coat.

The professional hosts of the two groups, Lily and Ryan, who had interviewed Nie Zi in Jianding Town before, took advantage of this time to ask Meirong questions one after another:

"Excuse me, Master Meirong, is your son Magua participating in the Gym Tour Challenge for the second time? Many people said that they saw Magua last time, but he was defeated in the second gym and his presence was too low..."

"Ridiculous! A complete lie!" Meirong refuted without hesitation, and then said: "That's Maru, Maru and Magua are brothers..."

Lily and Ryan looked at each other, both puzzled, and then asked:

"Excuse me, what do you mean..."

"The last person who participated in the gym tour was actually Maru!" Meirong said, and added: "The two brothers looked very similar before. After Maru lost the battle, he started to lose weight crazily. After losing weight, he wanted to grab Magua's gym challenge spot..."

The two hosts were shocked:

"Is Maru trying to snatch Magua's spot?"

Meirong nodded and said:

"Of course! Later, I had a hard time, and he even stole the old man's Pokémon, which pissed the old man off to death..."

At this point, Meirong showed obvious sadness on her face, and then she shouted angrily:

"That bastard Maru should have been a wanted criminal! He even hooked up with the group and now he's trying to snatch his brother's gym challenge spot..."

"This..." Lily looked at her companion with doubt. Ryan quickly reacted and said loudly:

"In that case, it means that Maru and Magua each have their own opinions. We can take a good look at the appearance and strength of this pair of brothers when they challenge us on the road. We will know who is true and who is false after the battle..."

......

Quanguan City.

Fists close the gate of the arena.

Because it was too uncomfortable to watch the gym tour in front of the Pokémon Center yesterday, Chibana temporarily asked someone to set up an extra-large screen TV on the top of the bronze door at the entrance of the Quanguan Arena.

Except for some trainers who don't like crowds and are still staying at home or in the Pokémon Center, other trainers, including the law enforcement team of Quanguan City, gathered in front of the arena and watched the Gym Tour Challenge with the two representatives of the Dragon Family.

Chibana stood in front of the bronze door of the arena with his hands in his pockets, and behind him was a crowd of trainers.

He narrowed his eyes and quietly watched Meirong on the screen accusing Maru of being the one who snatched the qualification to challenge the Gym Tour.

A few months ago, when the Zhanjing Town officials issued a wanted notice for Maru, they used the same excuse.

As for the truth...

The trainers behind were arguing:

"She lost weight, bullshit. Maru and Magua have different face shapes and hair colors... Is she going to say that she dyed her hair?"

"Hiss... I can't say for sure. After all, the group's operations..."

"Didn't you watch the last gym tour? The guy who beat his mother in the beginning, wasn't he? He even wore triangular sunglasses to show off, and you couldn't recognize him without the sunglasses?"

“I haven’t seen it.”

"I have just arrived in Quanguan City not long ago... Anyway, let's wait and see the road blocking challenge. Whoever wins will be right."

Chibana rubbed his fingers subconsciously, wondering how the group would deal with Zhanjing Town.

This time, the Gym Tour Challenge was a purge of the Gym Leaders in various places by the group... This was already a well-known fact. And the Spike Town that we just visited yesterday seemed to have really changed its Gym Leader.

Roz's handling method was indeed ruthless and quick, and the news was also blocked very well.

All the news today was filled with the gym tour in Zhanjing Town, and no one was too lazy to care about what the Spike Town, which was in a mess yesterday, looked like.

The owner of the Spike Hall is missing, and his son Nie Zi is arrested...

Thinking of this, Qibana suddenly felt worried.

Although Dandi's strength is comparable to his, Roz won't resort to trickery, right? He will manipulate the final of the championship game behind the scenes... just to help Dandi win the championship.

The louder the noise from the ordinary trainers behind him, the depressed Chibana became.

......

Zhanjing Town.

Battle competition gym battle field.

As the battlefield edged, a beige door with delicate reliefs opened. Magua, with his chest exposed and wearing shorts and only a white bathrobe, pushed up his triangular sunglasses and strode out.

Since he had just soaked in a hot spring, the temperature in the battlefield was much higher than the ice and snow outside. He did not feel that cold and walked to the other side of the battlefield with a swagger.

Meirong, who was standing opposite her, could not help but grit her teeth and cursed in her heart: "This stupid thing..."

It was definitely for convenience, so I didn't spend time getting dressed and ran out directly after soaking in the hot spring.

Magua had a confident smile on his fat face. He waved enthusiastically to the cameras and the two hosts, and posed in a way he thought was very handsome.

"Well...our Magua player seems very confident, as if he has already secured victory?" Lily raised a forced smile and said to Ryan beside her.

Ryan could only nod and smile helplessly: "In such a cold area, contestant Magua seems to be in good health. He actually walked out wearing only a bathrobe..."

Magua on the field heard these words and kept nodding and waving at Ryan.

Ryan, who was disgusted, hurriedly urged:

"Well, now that both players are ready, the Zhanjing Town Gym Challenge officially begins! The two sides are the Gym Master Meirong and the Gym Master Meirong's son - Magua! Please look forward to the next... Gym Challenge!"
