Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Chapter 514: Wanted Criminals Gathering Place

“Is there such a large space at the headquarters?”

Wang Jin remembered that the meeting hall of the Hunter Guild headquarters he had visited before was not as big as the current market, and the battle between two king-level Pokémon would seem a bit crowded.

It's hard to have a melee there, right?

Furlen explained: "There is actually a larger battlefield below... It's big enough for them. And the headquarters is much more durable than here. A battle has taken place here before, so there will definitely be no problems."

Wang Jin hesitated for a moment, then tried to ask, "Is the headquarters in the north of Sinnoh? Near Lake Wisdom?"

Furlen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Master W... To tell you the truth, I only heard from Master A that the headquarters is in Sinnoh. Who knows whether it is actually Sinnoh or its exact location?"

After saying this, the two of them came to the end of the corridor.

"Master W, I don't think the Hunter Guild's Sinnoh headquarters and branches can be defended."

Furlan walked into the transmission device slyly and said before starting it:

"It will be fine if we can keep the Zhuqing City branch. If Zhuqing City alone can become independent, it will be enough for us to make money."

Wang Jin glanced at the old man thoughtfully and did not answer.

...

Zhuqing City, Third Street.

The sunshine is soft, the weather is good, and there are young men in short sleeves everywhere on the street.

Next to a street lamp, Kikuno lifted her thick scarf, coughed a few times, and then held her thick coat tightly. She looked around silently, not caring about the strange looks from passers-by.

She had been waiting for more than ten minutes. If the man decided not to come, she would set off alone in half an hour.

About ten breaths later, a young man in a dark trainer's uniform walked over from a distance.

It is Wang Jin transformed from the symbol G.

"Uh, cough cough...sorry to bother you." Kikuno's voice was a little weak, as if he had just had a fever.

Symbol G subconsciously asked with concern: "Are you sick?"

"It's okay, just an old problem." Kikuno waved his hands and didn't notice anything unusual.

Little G reacted immediately and reflected on himself. He thought that he should speak less because of his stuttering. Otherwise, if he was found out, he would be unable to defend himself.

Kikuno quickly adjusted himself, took out a communication device and explained, "This time it's a mission from the General Alliance, I have to trouble you again."

Symbol G nodded: "Yeah."

Kikuno handed the device over, showed it to Little G, and said slowly, "There really is no one left... But President Damaranch said the reward is generous, and it will overlap with the last mission to hunt down Hunter A. You can talk to him in person."

Symbol G: "Hmm."

"There are quite a few people participating in the mission this time, and we will be ambushing in the dark, but we need to go deep into the Hunter Guild headquarters."

"Ah."

"The mission goal is to eliminate those wanted criminals. We must seal off the Hunter Guild and not let any of them escape."

"Ah."

"This is the cleansing plan prepared by President Damaranch... ahem!"

Kikuno covered his mouth and his body trembled slightly.

Under Little G's slightly caring gaze, Kikuno waved his hand again: "It's okay, it's just the root of the disease from the past. We have to hurry... Now, the action begins!"

Symbol G nodded solemnly: "Yes!"

...

Hunter's Guild, headquarters.

The headquarters is hidden deep underground, rumored to be somewhere in Sinnoh, but no one knows its exact location.

Down the central passage of the conference hall was a huge battlefield comparable to a palace. Walking out of the entrances on both sides, one could see the ancient and worn carvings on the surface. It looked like towering stone pillars that almost ran through the top and bottom, protruding slightly and embedded in the stone wall, with occasional cracks.

The audience seats on a slightly higher level around the battlefield were already full of people, and each of the Elite-level trainers with different expressions were staring intently at the center of the venue.

There were two people standing in the field, and they had just finished fighting.

An energetic Nidoking was beating his chest, while another Scyther was already dying.

"Is this the strength of the top hunters in the Hunter Guild?"

On one side of the battlefield, a bald middle-aged man raised his hand and scratched his forehead, revealing a disdainful smile. He raised his hand again to take back Nidoking and looked around.

"The Hunter Guild, what's their name... T? Y? Z? Didn't they say that the Hunter Guild respects strength before? Why do they come up with some bullshit rules as soon as I get here, saying that I don't have enough experience and can only start as a hunter at the bottom? Huh?"

"Now that the fight is over, it's time to get out of the way, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, many wanted criminals around him who had the same idea started shouting.

"That's right! Brother Shang is right!"

"All those top hunters in the Hunter Guild are cowards!"

"The 26 seats weren't full to begin with, why the hell are you not letting people in?"

On the other side of the venue, the burly man in black robe gritted his teeth, retracted his Scythe, and retreated in silence.

He lost this battle completely, not because of his command, but simply because of the level difference. The opponent's Nidoking was level 49, which was very close to the champion level. His Scyther had just entered the king level.

"D, you underestimate your opponent." The tall man in black robe with his arms crossed behind his chest said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Hunter D did not refute anything and could only keep retreating until he reached the back of several top hunters.

There were only eight top hunters in the Hunter's Guild present. Excluding hunters A and B who were missing, and Furlen and Wang Jin who had not yet arrived, these were all the top hunters in the Hunter's Guild.

"Why are you stunned?"

On the other side, Shang Quan, who had just won, growled, with a fierce look in his eyes.

It was worth it for him to travel thousands of miles from Kanto to Sinnoh to get the inside information... Without the notorious Hunters A and B, the Hunter Guild was indeed leaderless and just a bunch of losers.

Even Shang Quan had to hide in Kanto, for fear that his location would be discovered and surrounded by the Four Heavenly Kings.

But in Sinnoh, he can do whatever he wants with the strongest king-level Nidoking in his hand.

He had encountered that Sinnoh King once not long ago. He was pretending to encircle and destroy him, but when Nidoqueen saw him, he just ran away!

Now, the so-called top hunter D on the opposite side can only take out a Scyther that has just entered the king level. It's ridiculous.

Shang Quan was impatient and shouted again: "Didn't this damn Hunter Guild say that everyone can join? Why are they dragging their feet now? Do they look down on us heroes who are wanted by the Alliance?"

"The Hunters Guild doesn't even have a leader... what a bunch of rubbish!"

"Hurry up and give me the answer! Otherwise I'll tear down your headquarters!"
