Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Chapter 269 The Murderer and Speculations

Feeling nervous and anxious, Lulina went to the fishing cage market and other places downstairs, but still found nothing.

Facing those fishermen who looked at her with awe, Lurina couldn't use Pokémon to intimidate and interrogate them. After all, given the current situation, it would be easy to tell if these people were lying.

Faced with a powerful trainer, the fishermen's psychological quality was not high. Many of them were scared when they first saw her, and explained a lot of things in words that were much more urgent than hers.

Lulina returned to Shuizhou Town.

......

Wang Jin was wandering on the street and didn't know the way at all, nor could he find any hotel.

He thought this place would be like Quanguan City, where all the shops were very smart... and you could see places to live every few meters.

As a result, the streets were filled with residential townhouses and were so empty that it was hard to find even a pedestrian.

Wang Jin once suspected that he had taken the wrong road, and Ryan and the filming crew who were following him were also a little lost... they were just lost.

Ryan hesitated and said:

"I think... we need to stop and find our way first..."

Wang Jin, who was at the front, paused, thought for a moment, and took out the Poké Ball:

"Ghoststone!"

"Hiss~"

Haunter came out happily and wandered around the street.

"Please help check...if there are any hotels, pedestrians, or people we know nearby."

Wang Jin called out, and Haunter nodded repeatedly, then soared into the sky.

Glancing down, Haunter saw Lurina strolling on another street, so he quickly turned around and returned to Wang Jin.

“Boom…boom!”

Haunter danced, pointed his claws in a certain direction, and then floated over.

"Let's go!" Wang Jin trotted after him, and Ryan and others behind him followed closely.

After a while.

Lulina looked at Wang Jin rushing towards her and the group of people behind her, feeling a little at a loss.

She asked doubtfully:

"This is what you are doing?"

"Very good, Haunter."

Wang Jin praised Haunter who was twisting his waist in mid-air. Haunter also smiled and made a face, and was put into the Poké Ball.

He looked at Lurina and explained solemnly:

"We're lost."

"..."

Lurina didn't know what to say for a moment.

......

Under Lurina's command, they soon arrived at a hotel in Shuizhou Town.

The hotel is very close to the Shuizhou Dojo, just on the street southwest of the Shuizhou Dojo.

"All the facilities and shops in Shuizhou Town are centered around Shuizhou Gym." Lulina tilted her head to explain, "As long as you know where Shuizhou Gym is, you can easily find people and roads."

"Oh..." Wang Jin nodded suddenly.

Ryan and his group, who were not far away, felt relieved and hurried into the hotel.

They haven't slept in a proper bed for nearly half a month.

Wang Jin was about to follow, but Lulina grabbed his wrist.

"I have a little question too..." Lurina said hesitantly.

Wang Jin looked around and confirmed that there was no one around. He nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Lurina recounted in detail the disappearance of her parents.

"My parents are missing..."

Wang Jin muttered to himself and looked towards the Shuizhou Gym not far away.

According to his guess, the biggest suspect must be the owner of the Shuizhou Gym.

Wang Jin didn't believe that any of the many owners were good people with conscience and bottom line, especially the owner of Shuizhou. From what he had seen when he came, the owner of Shuizhou had people clean up all traces of the fishermen and stuff them into the space under the bridge...

If two chirping ants, or livestock, suddenly appeared in front of the door of the owner Nasan's house, Nasan would either kick them away or dispose of them without leaving any trace and bury them in some unknown place.

According to Lurina, you have to be in a good mood to kick someone away.

"I'm afraid your parents have met with an accident." Wang Jin said truthfully, "The murderer is most likely the owner of Shuizhou Pavilion."

"......" Lulina opened her mouth, but couldn't speak.

She had actually guessed this a long time ago, but she could not rule out the possibility that her parents left Shuizhou Town to look for her.

"If you're worried about your parents going somewhere to look for you..." Wang Jin shook his head and chuckled, "Excuse me, do your parents have the league's ID cards? Are they gym leader-level, or even elite-level trainers?"

He recalled the hardships he had experienced while smuggling from Jianding Town to Quanguan City, and looked at Lulina again.

Lulina didn't seem to be aware of the difficulty of sneaking into the city as an illegal immigrant. She shouldn't be like me, running to the next city before joining the group.

Was he discovered and taken away by the group in Shuizhou Town?

Awesome...

Wang Jin thought about it and added:

"If you leave Shuizhou Town, the only route you can take is from the Second Mine to Jiqing City. Because Route 5 in the west has to cross Galar to reach Caolu Town, Caolu Town is not a developed town, and the cost-effectiveness is too low."

"The second mine is still under development. There must be a lot of alliance and group staff on the way. Checking identity cards and alliance cards, etc. For things like this, just go ask Olivia and you'll know."

After finishing his speech, Wang Jin looked at Lulina who was thinking with her head down and asked, "Any other questions?"

"I..." Lulina raised her head in shock and looked at Wang Jin. Under Wang Jin's urging gaze, she said softly after a few breaths: "I don't know if I can defeat Puna. If I fail..."

"Why do you have such an idea?" Wang Jin was puzzled. "There are four of us. The group has given us the task of defeating the gym leader in the championship match... You are very strong, a king-level water attribute trainer, so it should be easy for you to challenge the roadblock."

Lurina hesitated for a moment, then said:

"There are four of us...but I always feel like I don't fit in with you guys."

"Uh?"

Wang Jin was confused.

Out of tune... Did she not fit in with the group? Did Lurina have a bad relationship with them? Was that true?

In doubt, Lurina explained softly:

"Ounio has had a champion-level master teaching him since he was young. Although Maru came a little later... he is the son of the gym leader."

"And me?"

Wang Jin smiled and pointed at himself.

A cheating dog?

Isn't it?

Maybe walking all the way here, getting dragon scales, encountering many dragons, as well as swords, shields and unknown totems... there is a lot of luck involved, but not everyone can grasp this luck.

There are more dangers involved.

"You are a genius." Lurina looked a little lonely, "whether it's capturing, raising Pokémon, or fighting."

She had actually studied Wang Jin's battles carefully... every one of them was flawless, as if he was playing a game that he was sure to win.
