Pokémon cross over into the real world

"Kojiro, don't scare him. Didn't you see he's almost peeing his pants?" Wang Qiyi quickly added. He couldn't let Jia Wencheng steal the show, after all, he was the planner and the lead actor of this operation. He waved to Acha: "Come on, sit here. Let's keep playing. Tell us what other exciting and fun things there are to do."

"You!" Wang Qiyi pointed at another underling at random. "You're allowed to call as many people as you can. Call your most powerful big boss here. If my brother Kojiro is unhappy, he can burn this nightclub down." As Wang Qiyi spoke, Pikachu gave him a cute, silly smile, with two electric arcs jumping on its cheeks.

The underling scrambled out the door, while Acha shakily sat down next to Jia Wencheng and Wang Qiyi, whispering, "Do you know whose territory this is? You've made such a mess of things, you're definitely not going to get away with this. I advise you not to escalate things. If you stop here now, you might be able to get through this by paying some money, which shouldn't be a problem with your financial resources."

"You're threatening me!" Jia Wencheng kicked Acha in the stomach, making him curl up in pain.

"Aren't you guys overacting a bit? This is too ruthless." Jiang Zining couldn't stand it anymore. Jia Wencheng's behavior was that of an unreasonable rich kid, the kind of behavior a villain would exhibit. It made Jiang Zining, who had a bit of a saintly heart, unable to bear it. Back when Mengsar tried to kidnap her, Wang Qiyi helped her subdue Mengsar and even let her kick and hit him a few times to vent her anger, but Jiang Zining didn't dare to.

Wang Qiyi patted her shoulder and whispered, "Don't be so overly compassionate. Think about the children who were kidnapped with you. If I hadn't arrived in time to save you, what do you think would have become of them? Think about the ruthless methods of the Evil Dragon Mercenary Group, and think about when the Scarab Alliance members pointed guns at your heads in the Alliance Island Secret Realm. Do you think these people deserve any pity?"

After Wang Qiyi said that, Jiang Zining stopped talking. Wang Qiyi continued, "The drug they put in your drinks is called hydroxybutyric acid (HABA), which is a type of hallucinogen. It's colorless, odorless, and easily soluble in alcohol. Once ingested, it causes hallucinations, weakness throughout the body, and symptoms such as memory loss and confusion. It also has another name in nightclubs: 'obedience agent,' a drug often used to date and rape young girls."

“If we were ordinary people, once we fell into their trap, we would definitely be robbed of all our money. You two girls would definitely lose something too. But that’s not the worst part. They will contact our families and demand huge ransoms. If we can’t pay, they will sell our blood and organs, and eventually we’ll become mummies and be dumped in some secret place. These operations are almost an industry.”

Hearing Wang Qiyi's words, Jiang Zining covered her mouth, feeling a chill run down her spine. Then she asked weakly, "With so many illegal and criminal activities, doesn't the alliance do anything about it?"

"It's not that the Alliance doesn't care, it's that it can't. The Dragon Kingdom is too vast, and at least half of its land is inhabited by elves. Each provincial alliance is autonomous, and while the national alliance has jurisdiction, its power is limited. Just like the International Alliance, which nominally manages all the countries in the world, but do you see any countries that can be directly commanded by the International Alliance?"

"Master, you are now a national elder, can't you use your power to cleanse this place?"

“If we come here in the name of a national elder and investigate these illegal activities in a high-profile manner, we can indeed find some criminals. But they are just small fry.” Wang Qiyi pointed to several of Acha’s underlings lying haphazardly. “These guys are just thrown out to take the blame. You can’t find the real big shots behind them. They will cover their tracks completely.”

"Even if we were to launch a large-scale investigation, there would be many obstacles and various legal procedures to go through. In the end, you would only be able to dig out a few scapegoats. It's not as convenient as it is now. There's no need for any evidence of procedural justice. We can just settle scores quickly and get revenge. We can't save the world."

Jiang Zining nodded, her gaze towards Acha turning cold. Wang Qiyi had successfully corrupted Jiang Zining, and he nodded in satisfaction. This disciple was too naive. Although naive people were closer to elves, the world was full of treacherous people, and one needed to be aware of that.

A soaking wet henchman burst into a lavish private room on the second floor of the nightclub. Liang Ping, who was drinking and singing karaoke with a group of his men, frowned: "What's going on?"

The underling hurriedly replied, "Master Liang, something terrible has happened! A group of people came to the underground private room and caused trouble. They're incredibly powerful; they burned the room down. Ah Cha and several of the brothers were all beaten to a pulp."

"A bunch of trash!" Liang Ping stood up and smashed a bottle on the ground. "Who are these blind fools who dared to cause trouble in my place? Who are they? What are elves?"

"This group is very young, in their early twenties, two men and two women, claiming to be Team Rocket. I checked, but the station doesn't have any information on them, so they're probably from out of town. As for Pokémon, I've only seen three so far: Alakazam, Fiery Fox, and a huge Gyarados, which is incredibly powerful. My brothers' Macho Power was instantly defeated, and even Acha's Machamp couldn't last two moves." The henchman quickly recounted the situation, omitting Pikachu, as he considered it negligible in terms of combat strength.

"There's a Gyarados!" Liang Ping felt uneasy when he heard about this Pokémon. He was a seasoned Master Trainer with four Master-level Pokémon and two near-Master level ones. He was definitely a top-tier trainer in this region, and no one could mess around on his turf.

Now that we hear about Gyarados, things are different. Magikarp that can evolve into Gyarados are generally at least Master level. There are also two Psychic-type Pokémon, Alakazam and Fiery Fox. You have to know that Psychic-type Pokémon are considered high-class; ordinary people simply can't afford to raise them. It's like a master has come to cause trouble.

However, this was his territory, and even if the four opponents were all masters, they wouldn't get the better of him today. He stood up and said, "Call the brothers and come with me to meet them. Notify Chani of the Hujir Dojo and have him bring a few more skilled fighters. Tell them his brother got beaten up."

Several henchmen ran off shouting and yelling to get reinforcements. These guys loved causing trouble, and they all rushed to get their Poké Balls. Liang Ping stopped the excited henchmen: "You bunch of bastards, calm down. Don't let the Pokémon cause trouble in my shop. If they wreck my place, you'll all starve."

"Don't worry, Boss Liang. We have this." One of the henchmen pulled out a pistol. "We outnumber them. When we take those people hostage, even if the elves are strong, they won't dare to make a move. We can easily settle things."

"Hmm, you're the clever one." The underling, beaming with pride, walked in front of the group after being praised.

Another henchman, who had been ordered to call for backup, found a quiet spot and made a phone call. Upon hearing that his brother had been beaten up, the person on the other end of the line immediately shouted angrily, "Hold them off! Don't let that kid get away! I'm coming right now to beat them up!"

The underground private rooms and corridors were flooded; the water had overflowed from Wang Qiyi's private room. Initially, some waiters tried to go in to check on the situation, but a quick glance through the small window revealed that they couldn't handle the situation, so they evacuated everyone nearby, waiting for Boss Liang to deal with it.

Pushing open the door, one could see that Mr. Liang was a tall, middle-aged man with some white hair at his temples, appearing to be around 50 years old. Upon entering, he saw four people sitting on the sofa. Acha was being held down on the table by one of the shorter boys, his cheeks swollen and red from numerous slaps. Behind the four stood Alakazam and Red Fox, and a Pikachu was eating snacks on the table.
