Pokémon cross over into the real world

Wang Qiyi casually picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He was thinking that if a fight broke out later, these dishes might go to waste, so he wanted to eat now. Pikachu and Jerry also jumped down from his shoulders, wanting to take something from the plate. Wang Qiyi tapped the two little guys' hands with his chopsticks, then put a few pieces of meat on a small plate for them to eat.

Wang Lingqi also started eating without ceremony, commenting on the taste of the dishes to Wang Qiyi as she ate, saying that they weren't as good as the banquet hosted by President Jiang of Dragon Kingdom.

"Of course! The chef working for Chairman Jiang is the best chef I've ever had. I'm talking about the food he makes." Wang Qiyi chatted casually with Wang Lingqi, completely disregarding Xie Chao.

He raised an eyebrow, clearly suppressing his anger. He glanced down at the badge on his chest—the badge of a high-ranking holy warrior! Didn't these two idiots see that? He forced back his anger and said, "Didn't Bishop Robin tell you before that we've been paying tribute? This quarter isn't even over yet, why are you collecting tribute again?"

"Didn't you just say you weren't in charge? Why are you asking so many questions? I'll talk to your older brother when he gets here." Wang Qiyi's attitude was extremely arrogant.

"Bang!" Xie Chao, unable to contain himself any longer, slammed his hand on the table: "You two have gone too far! Can't you see I'm a high-level holy warrior?"

Wang Qiyi blinked innocently, "High-level Holy Warriors don't have to pay offerings? Or does that mean high-level Holy Warriors can be disloyal to the Elf Cult! No matter what rank we are, we are loyal to our cult, loyal to the great God. Everything we have is a gift from the Elf God!" Wang Qiyi struck a pious pose and made a prayer gesture.

Xie Chao was stumped by Wang Qiyi's overly religious pronouncements; in the Elf Cult, loyalty to the Elf God was of course paramount. Just as he was about to retort, a deep voice came from behind him: "Chao, don't be rude!" Cai Chengwang appeared outside the door, followed by a Greninja. He turned his head and whispered, "Keep watch around." The Greninja nodded and vanished silently.

"I already know that you two have come to collect offerings on behalf of Bishop Robin." Cai Chengwang bowed to Wang Qiyi and Yan Xu as he entered, then found a seat. He waved to Yan Xu, who quickly bowed and left the private room. Although he was the second-in-command's henchman, he understood the boss's gestures. A wave at the neck was a throat-slitting gesture; he could kill the two at any moment.

What he needs to do now is go downstairs and evacuate all the guests, then get the pleasure boat away from the dock. Once they're in the middle of the sea, the two people upstairs can do whatever they want, and it will be much easier to talk about anything.

"The ship is moving?" Wang Qiyi, who was eating, looked out the window at the scenery.

"Since you two are working for Bishop Robin, as the host, I should certainly treat you well. Just eating dishes isn't enough; once the pleasure boat leaves the shore, you can see the beautiful sea view. I'll call the songstresses downstairs to perform later."

"Let's skip the performance and get down to business. We need to resolve Bishop Robin's request for offerings as soon as possible. Our church is currently facing a tense war with the alliance and needs a lot of funds."

"No problem, I believe we are duty-bound to help if there is a need. Our Qinghai company will contribute 1 billion dong, and I will give further instructions to each village and town to collect offerings according to the old tax collection rules. Each household will pay a head tax of 5 million dong for those over 16 years old, and half that for those over 10 years old. However, the large-scale collection of offerings in the three towns will require a priest to preside over it."

"Five million rupiah? How much is that?" Wang Qiyi had no concept of Indonesian currency, but it must be a considerable sum. He had already seen so many impoverished people on the way here; if this head tax were levied, it would surely kill them. He immediately waved his hand and said, "My partner and I are both new converts. We worship the Spirit God and are wholeheartedly devoted to serving Him, hoping to behold His glory. Bishop Robin told us that only by becoming a white bishop are we qualified to go on a pilgrimage to the Holy Island, so we urgently need to contribute merit to the bishop."

Cai Chengwang was taken aback by Wang Qiyi's words. "And then?" he asked. "What does this have to do with me? You desperately need merit and contributions, what does that have to do with accepting offerings? Do you think you're not getting enough? You desperately need contributions so you want to accept more? Are you even more unscrupulous than me?"

“What I mean is, let’s not make it so complicated. Collecting offerings in the three towns, having a priest preside over it, and having a large group of saints and holy warriors run errands to various villages and towns to collect money. Inevitably, some people will line their own pockets and exploit the people. Now the war on the front line is intense and we can’t spare any manpower. If the people are pushed to the limit, they may cause trouble. So the simplest solution is for your Green Gang to pay for it all.”

"Hahaha..." Cai Chengwang laughed heartily, as if he had heard the funniest joke. Xie Chao also laughed along. After laughing for a while, Cai Chengwang took a swig of his drink and patted Wang Qiyi on the shoulder, saying, "Are you kidding me? Don't tell me Bishop Robin told you this!"

"Of course I'm not joking. It wasn't Bishop Robin who said it; it was my private decision to send out your entire Green Gang. You've been running rampant here for decades, harming countless villagers and plundering untold wealth. You're practically a local cancer. It's just that our church is currently preoccupied with the war with the alliance and doesn't have time to clean up these scoundrels who plague the countryside. Now is your chance to atone for your sins. As long as you contribute all the wealth you've plundered over the years to our church to support the frontline war, I believe the Elven God will forgive your past evils."

"Hahaha..." Cai Chengwang was still laughing. "I thought you were joking on purpose, but I didn't expect you to be stupid, and pure, naively pure. You look to be no more than twenty, with such immature thoughts, yet you're so devoted to the Elf God. Don't you think about your current situation?"

"What's the situation?"

"Are you brainless?" Cai Chengwang felt infuriated by the fool in front of him, both amused and annoyed. "You're on my ship, at sea. Our Green Gang is known for its powerful water spirits. There are eight high-level holy warriors on this ship, all of higher rank than you. What makes you think you can ask me to give you all the wealth of the Green Gang?"

"Are you showing me your strength?" Wang Qiyi got up and looked out the window. Only half of the setting sun was left on the sea. The sunset sea view was really beautiful. It was getting dark outside. The ship had already left the dock to some distance. Only small figures could be seen busy on the dock.

"You're known for your Water-type Pokémon, don't you know that Electric-type Pokémon are super effective against Water-type Pokémon?" Wang Qiyi pointed at Pikachu, who was secretly eating boiled fish on the table. Seeing everyone suddenly looking at it, Pikachu quickly withdrew its little hand and smiled awkwardly.

"Hahaha..." Cai Chengwang and Xie Chao burst into laughter, and Pikachu scratched its head and laughed "Pika Pika". The atmosphere on the ship was great, and anyone who didn't know better would think that the people in the private room were having a very pleasant conversation.

"That's it? Kid, is this your first time catching a Pokémon? Electric-type is super effective against Water-type, but that's not how Pokémon battles are played. Want me to teach you?"

"Greninja!" A Greninja darted in through the window, leaping and bounding upside down from the ceiling. Cai Chengwang looked at Wang Qiyi and laughed, "Today I'll show you what it means for Electric-type to counter Water-type. Come on! Let your Pikachu make the first move and hit my Greninja with an Electric-type attack."

"Alright, you said it. Pikachu, Thunder Ball, knock that toad off the ceiling." Pikachu glanced at Greninja above, flicked its tail, and with almost no charging, a golden electric ball the size of a ping-pong ball shot out. Its speed was like a sniper rifle bullet; there was only a crackling sound of electricity, followed by a thunderous boom from the ceiling, and finally a loud "BOOM!"—the sound of Greninja crashing down from the ceiling.

Upon seeing the Greninja, charred black and incapacitated, the private room fell into a deathly silence, broken only by the sound of Jerry eating.
