Pokémon cross over into the real world

To the east of Palu City lies a continuous mountain range. The sun slowly peeks out from behind the mountains, illuminating the entire city. The northern part of Palu City is completely submerged by the sea, turning it into a vast swamp. The morning light pierces through the thin mist, dyeing the water a murky orange-red. The seawater is no longer its former azure blue; instead, it is littered with broken planks, shattered Poké Balls, and countless corpses of Pokémon rendered unable to battle—some truly dead, others perhaps still alive.

The waves crashed against the rocks on the shore, and the splashes of water were mixed with dark red bloodstains, all of which told the story of the fierce battle that night.

The mountain ranges to the east and west stood like silent giants, their foothills mostly flattened by the crushed vegetation. The exposed rocks were covered in charred marks—the scorching traces of fire-type moves—and fragments of ice crystals, frozen and shattered by ice-type moves, reflecting blinding sunlight. The roads that once encircled the city were gone, replaced by ravines of varying depths. Some were cracks torn by earthquake moves, others were deep pits stomped out by large Pokémon, the bottoms still radiating lingering energy.

Most of the buildings in Palu are in ruins, the remaining walls riddled with bullet holes and claw marks. The skeletons of several tall buildings twist and reach towards the sky, like gnawed bones. The city center square, where the fighting was fiercest last night, is now a scorched wasteland. A blue rebel flag, burned to a corner, hangs on a broken lamppost, swaying helplessly in the morning sea breeze.

The survivors of the resistance huddled behind the remaining bunkers, their faces weary and their eyes bloodshot. They silently bandaged their wounds, counted their remaining Poké Balls, and gazed toward the bay, where the flag of the Pokémon Church could be faintly seen in the morning mist.

The Elven Church achieved a resounding victory in this battle, gaining control of half of Palu City. The resistance forces are now fiercely guarding the entrance to the secret realm, ready to retreat inside at the first sign of trouble. Although this medium-sized secret realm covers over 2 square kilometers, it only has two entrances. If the Elven Church were to block them, they would be trapped inside, awaiting their demise.

While the resistance forces were in a state of chaos, the Pokémon Cult was celebrating their most successful battle in recent months. Bishop Womi lavishly praised Ash and Brock's bravery, stating that once the resistance was wiped out, he would definitely report to headquarters for promotion and important positions for Ash and Brock.

Given the current situation, it's only a matter of time before the battle of Palu City is completely won. Bishop Womi quickly wrote a report to inform the higher archbishop of the good news, while also emphasizing the formidable combat power of the newly joined Ash and Brock. With the Pokémon Church and the League front lines locked in fierce combat, both are eager for the surrender of high-level trainers, meaning that even newcomers like Ash and Brock will be given important roles.

As for whether someone is an undercover agent or not, the core members of the Elf Cult know that there's absolutely no need to worry. This is because the Elf God possesses extraordinary psychic power, capable not only of manipulating people's consciousness and thoughts, but also of possessing a mind-searching ability akin to soul-searching. Whether you're an undercover agent or not, you'll be exposed the moment you see the Elf God.

Three days later, Palu City fell completely. It wasn't due to an attack by the Pokémon Cult, but rather their internal divisions that caused their collapse. Since Zandso's capture, the resistance had been leaderless, with the legendary trainers vying for power, and the entire army suffering from low morale and numerous wounded.

The city's power system was destroyed, rendering the Pokémon recovery devices unusable without energy, and the lack of signal prevented them from contacting the League for support via the Pokémon transmission device. Ultimately, some of the rebel trainers fled the city, while others surrendered.

After completely conquering Palu City, Ash and Brock's reward arrived quickly. Bishop Womi allowed them to choose a few items from the Pokémon training resources they had seized in Palu City. They could take any level of resource as long as it was available in Palu City, and each person could take two items.

Since that's the case, Wang Qiyi won't stand on ceremony. He can pick and choose any treasures in the city. He found quite a few good things when he raided Chen Yuanhong's house in Nanyue Kingdom, including one level-seven resource. Now it's the resources of the entire city, and the resistance has gathered a large number of high-level trainers, so there are bound to be many treasures they didn't have time to take.

Of course, the fact that Womi let Wang Qiyi choose whatever he wanted meant that he took the best items first. Wang Qiyi searched through all the supplies but couldn't find any Mega Stones or Key Stones; after all, some members of the Resistance had used Mega Evolution. However, Wang Qiyi did find one good item—an Electric Ball.

As described above: The Electric Ball is a level 7 resource that can greatly enhance the power of Electric-type Pokémon's Electric-type moves. Wearing it for a long time can help Electric-type Pokémon train and grow.

The moment Wang Qiyi saw this thing, he jumped three feet high. In his eyes, the Electric Ball was an absolute treasure, even more precious than a level nine divine resource. Because in the game, it was Pikachu's exclusive equipment; equipping it doubled the power of Pikachu's Electric-type moves and increased its Special Attack by 40%. Even an ordinary Pikachu could become godlike with it, let alone Ash's Pikachu. With it, Pikachu would truly be qualified to go toe-to-toe with Mewtwo.

How could something so good be classified as a level seven resource? It's probably because people in this world haven't discovered that the Electric Ball only reaches its full potential when paired with Pikachu. Also, Pikachu's base stats are too low; only low-level players use it. In high-level matches, Raichu is the go-to choice, so nobody has discovered the Electric Ball's unique ability.

Wang Qiyi really got lucky today. He took the Electric Ball and immediately gave it to Pikachu. The moment Pikachu received the Electric Ball, it perked up, the electricity on its body resonated with the ball, and the three tomoe inside the yellow ball spun rapidly, emitting a buzzing sound.

"Pikachu, hold back your power and don't attract attention. Let's wait until we're somewhere quiet before trying out the item's amplification effect." Hearing Wang Qiyi's words, Pikachu quickly withdrew the electricity, and the Electric Ball stuck to Pikachu's neck, like a yellow bell around its neck.

Wang Qiyi's other choice is a piece of highly poisonous sludge. This item also has a level seven resource level. It is the core residue left behind after a high-level Grimer dies. It contains powerful poison-type energy and is the best training resource for poison-type Pokémon.

However, this thing was too unsightly and reeked of a foul stench, so even though it belonged to the seventh-level resource, it couldn't fetch a high price among seventh-level resources. Wang Qiyi used it for Wen Tai to practice poison-type skills, but it was just too smelly, so he secretly had Hupa use the golden ring to teleport it away and give it to Wen Tai to use for his own training. He also gave him a final warning: if you need it to appear in public, remember not to bring this thing with you, or the whole place will be suffocated by its stench.

Wen Tai pursed his lips, wondering if he would pickle himself up and become as annoying as a stinky flower if he cultivated with such a smelly thing by carrying it around!

Wang Lingqi naturally chose ghost-type resources, but given its level, even level seven resources wouldn't catch its eye, let alone level eight or nine resources. He could only randomly pick two for his subordinates.

In addition to resource rewards, promotions for Wang Qiyi and Wang Lingqi also came. Bishop Womi was credited with the greatest merit and promoted to Black Archbishop, in charge of the entire Sulawesi Island. Wang Qiyi and Wang Lingqi were promoted two ranks directly to White Bishops, gaining the qualification to worship the Elf God. After completing the worship, they will be sent to the front lines to fight against the Alliance.

Wang Qiyi was overjoyed upon hearing this. He had been sent as an undercover agent to obtain the opportunity to meet Mewtwo, then find the location of the Pokémon Cult headquarters and pass the information to the League, allowing the League to concentrate its forces to destroy Mewtwo. He had thought this mission would take at least a month to make any progress, but unexpectedly, he wiped out the Green Gang in a few days, and then a rebel group in a few more days, obtaining the opportunity to meet Mewtwo in less than ten days in total.
