Pokémon cross over into the real world

"What's going on here, that city lord invited us here but then refused to come out to see us?" Jia Wencheng asked Wang Qiyi in a low voice.

“I don’t know,” Wang Qiyi shook his head. “I don’t know much about the warlords here, but I know there’s no such thing as a free lunch. This city lord definitely has ill intentions. Let’s wait and see, and deal with whatever comes our way.”

"He told us to release our Pokémon here to play, he probably wants to get to know them. Maybe that guy is observing us from there. Do you think we should release all our Pokémon?"

"Just release them, but don't release them all. It's always good to have a backup plan." After saying that, Wang Qiyi threw out three Poké Balls: Jerry, Goku, and Egg, along with Pikachu on his shoulder. These were the most ordinary-looking Pokémon in his team, making it less likely for them to reveal their identities.

Jiang Zining only had Zarude and Chansey, so she had nothing to hide and released them directly. Jia Wencheng, like Wang Qiyi, actually had a bodyguard: Gengar, who always hid in his shadow to protect him from being ambushed. He released Butterfree, Milotic, Gyarados, and Pidgeot, keeping Gengar and Alakazam as his trump cards. Li Yaoyao didn't release Fennekin either; Marowak and Blaziken were released to play.

"Is this the bunch of kids? Brother, are you sure you're not mistaken?" A bearded man who looked somewhat like Varza asked, watching the surveillance video. He was Gru, the younger brother of warlord Varza.

Six other men sat beside Gru, all dressed in green military uniforms; they were legendary trainers under Valza. One of them scoffed, "These young brats seem pretty good at Pokémon, but we don't need to send our entire force to take them down. Don't worry, General, I can handle this alone."

"Sit down, all of you!" Varza roared. "Didn't you see the information I gave you?"

The subordinates fell silent, picking up the printed documents and reading them carefully. Valza continued, "The Rocket Team's four-man squad has a bounty of 100 million League Coins on the Dark Web for each of them. Do any of you have that kind of net worth? Let me ask you, which one of you with that kind of net worth isn't a top expert? Look carefully, how many people have they already killed, and how many of them are legends."

“Big brother, I don’t doubt Team Rocket’s strength, I just doubt whether the four people you invited to the palace are the same four people with bounties on the Dark Web,” Gru said.

Valza nodded and said, "You guys get ready first. I'll go meet them and confirm their identities. If it's Team Rocket, then we'll take them down as planned. 20 billion League Credits is no small sum, and this 20 billion is just their recent looting income. There might be more, and you'll definitely get your share of the profits."

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of my palace?" A bearded man in military uniform walked onto the beach and asked four young people who were playing on the sand. The butler, who was beside him, introduced him at the right moment: "This is our city lord, General Varza, the owner of the palace."

The four men surrounded Varza and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Varza."

Valza smiled and beckoned the four to sit down: "I admire your elves very much. I didn't expect that there would be young people who could train elves so well. I wonder if any of you would like to stay and serve me. I can offer you very good treatment."

"We are honored by the General's kindness, but the four of us are used to freedom and do not like to stay in one place. We prefer to travel around the world," Jia Wencheng replied first.

“Hmm, it’s good that young people have ideals and ideas.” Valza took a sip of his drink and then asked, “Recently, I’ve heard rumors internationally about a group of four young people—two men and two women—called Team Rocket, who are incredibly powerful. Their clothing and appearance are also very similar to yours…”

"Hey, we've made a name for ourselves!" Before Varza could finish speaking, Jia Wencheng patted his three companions on the shoulders and said excitedly, "I didn't expect our fame to have spread to Africa, let alone the world! Why can't I see us trending on websites like Mobile Dog and Yacat?"

Valza had only intended to test the waters, but the other side made no attempt to hide anything and directly admitted it, leaving him somewhat uncertain: "Are you really the Rockets?"

"Yeah, we are Team Rocket, the Team Rocket that traverses the galaxy," Jia Wencheng said, striking a pose.

"Is it Team Rocket, the one that wiped out Liang Shizhong's forces in the Dragon Country's Mongolia Province, Fajada's forces in the Stan Country, Ashira's forces in the Afghan Country, Misar's forces in the Shatuo Country, and Kikor's forces in the Arab Country in just over ten days?"

Jia Wencheng and the others exchanged glances: "We did cross five countries and wipe out a lot of forces, but we don't know their names. We thought that black-on-black would not be reported much, but we didn't expect that even Africans would hear about us."

Seeing the excited and somewhat childish expressions of the young people opposite him, Valza frowned. Was he sure these kids could be that strong? He tentatively asked, "Do you know that your bounty on the dark web has reached 1 million Alliance coins each?"

"1 million Alliance Coins?" This time, it was Jiang Zining who was surprised. Her family was of average means, and she had never seen so much money before. She herself did not believe that her net worth was so high. "1 million Alliance Coins is more than 8 million Dragon Coins!"

As soon as she said that, Li Yaoyao kicked her below. They were all dressed up, had changed their names, and even claimed to be from Japan. How could someone from Japan have such a mindset about exchanging the currency of the Dragon Kingdom? Jiang Zining quickly snapped out of it and said, "1 Alliance Coin is 250 Sakura Coins, isn't that 250 billion Sakura Coins? Are we that valuable?!"

"You invited us to the palace to play and eat, are you going to arrest us and put a bounty on our heads?" Jia Wencheng stood up with a disdainful look, then whistled, and the elves playing on the beach all gathered around him.

Varza laughed and waved to the butler, who understood and blew a whistle. The servants and maids on the beach began packing up and retreating into the house, and the once lively beach suddenly became quiet. Anyone with eyes could see that this meant a fight was about to break out, and Li Yaoyao and Jiang Zining were also ready for battle.

"Don't get me wrong, why would I do such a thing for a mere 1 million Alliance Coins? I'm just eyeing the wealth you've plundered in the five countries. I bet you've looted more than 20 billion Alliance Coins. The International Alliance has issued a warning that a world-class secret realm will descend next year, and there's a high chance of a third Warcraft War. We're all actively preparing, and there are so many places where we need money. I'd like to talk to you about some cooperation."

“We originally only intended to rest for one night in Sirte City and leave tomorrow. Most of the criminal organizations here are poor and there's not much to rob. But if it's General Varza's palace, then it's worth our attention. Of course, we usually only deal with illegal organizations, and we have great respect for the Alliance's regular troops like General Varza. However, if General Varza provokes us, then we wouldn't mind looting your palace.”

After Jia Wencheng finished speaking, he and Valza looked at each other without saying a word. After staring at each other for several seconds, they suddenly burst into laughter. Valza laughed so hard that he was doubled over, and then suddenly pulled out a stainless steel pistol and pointed it at Jia Wencheng: "At this close range, you don't even have a chance to release your elves. Don't move. If you move even a finger, I'll pull the trigger."

When Varza pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the people in front of him, more than a dozen people rushed out of the villa, each holding a gun and pointing it at the four people in the middle.

"In the world of elves, if you handle a gun, it means your elf isn't very good. Go ahead and try shooting!" Jia Wencheng said arrogantly, reaching into his pocket, completely ignoring the gun in Valza's hand.

With a "bang," Varza, a decisive man, immediately fired a shot at Jia Wencheng.
