Malay National Army Medical Station.

After two days of rest, Wang Qiyi had almost fully recovered. With the healing wave skill of his Psychic-type Pokémon, various external injuries healed easily. To replenish Wang Qiyi's nutrition, Jiang Zining also brought him a Chansey egg. This egg, when eaten by a Pokémon, instantly restores most of its stamina. For humans, it cures illnesses and strengthens the body, making it arguably the best nutritional supplement.

"The last time I was injured this badly was probably during the Impression Kingdom incident," Jia Wencheng said, peeling an orange for Wang Qiyi as he sat by the hospital bed.

"Last time I almost lost my life, and I was bedridden for at least a week. By the way, how come you guys have so much free time? Don't you have any combat missions?"

"Now all the battles are concentrated on the Holy Island of the Pokémon Cult, and they are all high-level battles. No one below the legendary level can participate. We have been asked to stay behind to guard the rear. All the legendary and legendary-level trainers in the allied forces have been mobilized, and Elder Dong has also gone."

"It's been two days already, is there any news from the front lines?"

Jia Wencheng shook his head: "We definitely have the information, it's just that our rank isn't high enough to know it."

"Wang Qiyi, General George is coming to see you." Wang Qiyi's attending physician entered the ward, and Jia Wencheng quickly stood up and saluted.

York George returned the salute, and seeing that Wang Qiyi was about to stand up to salute, he quickly stopped him: "You should rest well, don't get up. You are a great hero and meritorious contributor to our allied forces. The key to this war depends entirely on you."

"General, you are so kind!"

"Don't be modest. It's all thanks to your signal that we were able to locate the headquarters of the Elf Cult. We also successfully met the so-called Elf God of the Elf Cult."

"So? Can you defeat it?"

York George shook his head and smiled wryly: "I find it hard to imagine how you survived the Elven God's attack. It took at least half an hour from when you sent back the signal to when our operation arrived at your location. According to the news from the front, when the Allied forces arrived, you had already fought a great battle with the Elven God and seriously wounded it. It was precisely because it was injured that the Tapu family was able to work together to hold it back."

“Even so, the Tapu family, along with the Meloetta sisters sent by Chairman Puck, still couldn’t defeat Pokémon. I’d really like to know how you managed to severely injure it? Oh, if you don’t want to say, that’s fine too. I just wanted to ask what Pokémon’s weaknesses are; we’re truly at a loss for what to do with it right now.” York George knew that every trainer’s tactics and strategies were kept secret, their trump cards, but he was truly out of options and wanted to get some useful information from Wang Qiyi.

“Mewtwo is indeed very strong. To defeat it, you would need to bring out a god-level Pokémon, or have ten guardian-level Pokémon join forces to attack it, and you would have to sacrifice at least half of them. Perhaps you could take it down then. Another way is to communicate and negotiate with it. Pokémon religion does have a good foundation in Southeast Asia. I have visited the area, and even before Pokémon religion existed, the people there lived a primitive life of farming, fishing, and hunting. The people there were exploited and oppressed by the nobles, and Pokémon religion became their sanctuary.”

“Dr. Wang Qiyi, you are a great trainer, a great scientist, and an excellent warrior. I respect you very much. But please don’t say those kinds of things again,” York George said seriously. “I was sent here to command the war to destroy the Pokémon Cult. As for the living conditions of the people in Southeast Asia that you mentioned, I am aware of them, but that is not something we should consider. Whether to negotiate is a decision for Chairman Parker to make.”

Wang Qiyi nodded in understanding, then changed the subject, asking, "Are you still attacking the Elf Cult headquarters these past two days? How's the battle going?"

York George shook his head and didn't say anything.

"Is it because I'm not of a higher rank to know this information?"

“Of course not, Dr. Wang. You are a special agent of the Alliance, and you have a superior position in my eyes. Military rank has no effect on you. I just find it difficult to say this.” York George sighed. “The situation is very unfavorable. When we first raided the Pokémon Cult headquarters, it went very smoothly. The Tapu family held back the Pokémon God, and the Pokémon of the other legendary and legendary trainers rushed in. We immediately took control of the battle.”

"But what I didn't expect was that there was a secret realm entrance inside the main hall. This secret realm covers an area of ​​nearly 10,000 square kilometers and contains about 500,000 Pokémon. What's most terrifying is that these 500,000 Pokémon are not wild, but exist in a tribal civilization. They all obey Mewtwo's command, and they are well-organized in battle. There are more than 20 legendary Pokémon and hundreds of legendary Pokémon, which is enough to rival a great nation."

"Our surprise attack was quickly thwarted, and then the other guardian deities of the Elven Church, upon receiving the news, rushed back. To prevent our forces from being surrounded on the island, I decisively issued the order to retreat. According to reliable intelligence, the Elven Church's guardian deities include the Three Holy Birds, Ladias, and Latios, a total of five guardian deities plus an Elven God. Such a lineup is enough to challenge the Alliance; to destroy it, the Alliance would have to mobilize its entire forces."

Wang Qiyi fell silent upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Mewtwo's forces to be so powerful. It seemed that Mewtwo had only managed to escape because it disdained to capture him. Now he understood York George's predicament: unable to negotiate with the Pokémon Cult, unable to win a fight, and forced to fight to the death with the Pokémon Cult with no end in sight.

The war was tough, and the league's higher-ups were the ones who suffered. As a low-level trainer, all you had to do was fight bravely and earn military merit rewards. Wang Qiyi and his friends reaped a great harvest in this war, receiving various Pokémon training resources as rewards. If they were to buy them on the market, it would cost at least several million Dragon Coins.

Of course, this amount of money is nothing to wealthy people like Jia Wencheng and Li Yaoyao, but for trainers like Jiang Zining, He Jiaying, and Yin Fanxing who don't come from wealthy families, these resources are enough to help their Pokémon reach the next level. Add to that the life-or-death battles on the battlefield, which are far more intense than arena matches, and the growth rate of Pokémon under such pressure is incomparable to that of sheltered university students.

A few days later, Wang Qiyi's injuries were fully healed, and his Pokémon were mostly recovered as well. Gamabunta was the most seriously injured, and Bloom had suffered severe damage and wouldn't recover for a while. In the end, they used Hoopa's teleportation ability to send it to the Mystic World Tree, where it recovered under the natural power of the World Tree.

The other Pokémon resumed their usual training, while Gluttony was sent to some cities in Marley to deal with construction waste, which was its specialty.

Wang Qiyi was curious. This should be the most intense phase of the battle between the League and the Pokémon Cult, so why hadn't the League contacted him for support at the front lines, given that they knew his strength could rival Mewtwo? Was the battle going very smoothly?

Just as Wang Qiyi was about to go to General George to get some intelligence, he discovered that Elder Dong and a group of legendary trainers had returned from the front lines. The intelligence they brought back was that the League and the Pokémon Cult had been fighting on Sanctuary Island for more than ten days, and both sides had suffered losses due to the prolonged siege. Mewtwo was seriously injured, and the Tapu family and the Meloetta sisters were in no better shape and needed a period of rest and recovery.

The League considered negotiating a ceasefire with the Pokémon Cult, and both sides entered a temporary truce. Therefore, all trainers and Pokémon on the front lines were withdrawn. The Strait of Malacca served as the boundary, with the League controlling the north and the Pokémon Cult controlling the southern islands.

On the Dragon Kingdom's side, the third batch of 1 volunteer soldiers arrived in Marley to provide support, bringing with them over 3 elves. They were a replacement for the casualties suffered by the previous two batches of volunteer soldiers.

The first two waves of volunteer soldiers from the Dragon Kingdom suffered 654 deaths, 2336 serious injuries, and 6025 minor injuries. Human casualties were relatively low in wars involving elves, as the main combatants were elves. Elf losses, including deaths, serious injuries, desertions and becoming wild, and capture by the Elf Cult, totaled approximately 10. The initial 25-strong elf army suffered a 2.5% reduction in numbers.

Some trainers were unfortunate enough to have all their Pokémon captured by Psychic Balls, leaving them with virtually no fighting power. This effectively meant a loss of personnel, forcing them to withdraw from the battlefield entirely. Other trainers who lost their main Pokémon were also rendered useless by the loss and had no choice but to withdraw. The League will, of course, compensate these trainers, and the League will consider reclaiming their Pokémon from the Pokémon Cult in subsequent negotiations.
