Pokémon cross over into the real world

Chapter 628 National Pokémon Peak Tournament (3)

During the qualifiers, Jia Wencheng refrained from using Mega Evolution, aiming only for a top 35 finish. He wasn't necessarily after the championship; he reserved his trump cards for the main tournament. For Jia Wencheng, participating in the National Pokémon Peak Tournament was merely a way to prove himself and see where his Pokémon ranked among the nation's top Pokémon. He wasn't particularly concerned about the rewards for finishing in the top ranks.

Level 7 attribute gems are indeed rare, but not impossible to buy; his family has plenty of money. He already has Mega Evolution Stones and Key Stones, he's been to the Alliance Island Secret Realm Trial, and he also has Z-Bracelets and Z-Crystals. With his relationship with Wang Qiyi, he could get Titanium Crystal Beads and Titanium Crystal Ore with just a word. So, rewards are completely irrelevant to him; what he wants is honor.

Li Yaoyao and Jiang Zining were in a similar situation, but unfortunately, Li Yaoyao's ace Pokémon, Fiery Fox and Blaziken, failed to advance, while Marowak did advance in the Ghost-type group. This was because Zhejiang Province lacked large Ghost Realms, resulting in lower strength for Ghost-type Pokémon there. If they were in Sichuan Province, a Marowak below the Legendary level wouldn't be enough to compete.

Jiang Zining's Zarude has reached the mid-Legendary level. She only has two Pokémon, Zarude and Chansey, and all her resources are focused on Zarude. With Wang Qiyi's help and gifts, Zarude's leveling up is going smoothly. Jiang Zining did not participate in the competition in Zhejiang Province, but returned to her hometown of Gansu Province to participate in the preliminary rounds.

Because Gansu Province has fewer trainers than Zhejiang Province, the competition is not as fierce. Jiang Zining's Zarude achieved third place in the Dark-type group, which is the best result for a Zhejiang University student participating in the Peak Tournament qualifiers.

Wang Qiyi's group of friends got tickets to the main tournament of the Peak Tournament, but unfortunately Wang Qiyi didn't get to see them. Jia Wencheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "That bastard, what kind of competition is he playing? We all took leave to go and cheer him on. The Road to Champion Challenge even gave the whole school a holiday to watch him fight. But when we went to the competition, this guy just disappeared."

"Alright, stop being jealous. Wang Qiyi plays at such a high level; we might even learn something from watching. If he watches our matches, it'll just be the Pure Baby Cup. Besides, he's a national elder now; he's very busy," Li Yaoyao advised from the side.

"By the way, has Teacher Lu spoken with you?" Jiang Zining suddenly interjected.

"What's wrong? Why do you want to talk to us?"

“He talked to me a few days ago, and he might talk to you soon too. He said that the school is no longer suitable for our level of training. The methods we use to raise Pokémon are not things that regular schools can teach, and the school doesn’t have any resources to provide us. So he said that if we can get good results in the National Peak Tournament, he will apply to the school for credits so that we can graduate early,” Jiang Zining said.

"Yes, I've long felt that the school can no longer offer me any help," Jia Wencheng said, stroking his chin.

"I don't think I'm a Fighting type, right? I'm a Pokémon Research major. I have Pokémon strength, but my research skills aren't enough to graduate yet," Li Yaoyao said.

"Staying in school is good, I can continue to learn other things. If I graduate early, I don't know where I'll go. Working for the League as a trainer is definitely not an option, I'm used to being free; I don't like going home to help my dad with his business; am I supposed to take my Pokémon on adventures in various secret realms?"

"Let's go to the Xiaoyao Gym. I heard that the former Azure Gym in Wen'an County has been renamed the Xiaoyao Gym, and it will be the headquarters of our Xiaoyao Sect. Didn't Qi Yi tell us before that we could sign with the Xiaoyao Gym to compete in professional tournaments and improve our Pokémon's strength? I heard that professional trainers earn a lot of money," Jiang Zining said.

“Okay, let’s go to the Xiaoyao Dojo. I don’t care about the income, I want the honor. I want all the honors Wang Qiyi has won, and I also want the honors he hasn’t won.”

"What are you so upset about?" Li Yaoyao glanced at Jia Wencheng with disdain. "I told you back in high school, don't take him as your goal, just stick with him."

In the mysterious World Tree Realm, Yan Xu, the newly appointed leader of the Green Gang in Gambat City, Southeast Asia, was inexplicably captured and brought to this unfamiliar primeval forest. Looking around, he saw an enormous, towering tree that blocked out the sun, and the two-lane road he stood on was merely a branch of this tree, some branches even wider. Countless unnamed spirits climbed and frolicked around the giant tree.

He was able to get here because of a summoning spell cast by this god-like young man. Upon seeing Wang Qiyi, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to show his piety. Wang Qiyi quickly pulled him up: "You don't need to be so nervous. It was just that Huba's 'dredge' skill that brought you here."

Since regaining its original powers, Hoopa's scooping abilities have become even more unrestrained. Once it marks a place, there's practically no place on Earth it can't find. In Hoopa's eyes, hide-and-seek is no longer a game; it can find you anywhere in the world, unless you leave Earth. The only limitation is that Hoopa cannot scoop itself; it cannot pass through the Golden Ring, while other people and objects can pass through freely.

The Kingdom of Shatuo is a vast distance from Southeast Asia, yet Yan Xu was instantly transported there. In his eyes, this was nothing short of divine power; he was even unaware of Shatuo's existence, believing Wang Qiyi had taken him to the realm of gods. Although he is currently the leader of the Green Gang, his position is not yet secure. After all, he is young, and his elven strength is limited. However, his status within the Elven Church is not low; he is considered a high-ranking holy warrior.

He knew some of the inner workings of the Elven Church, and had heard that someone had launched a sneak attack on the Elven God during a pilgrimage. That person fought a great battle with the Elven God, but was ultimately severely wounded and forced to flee. Then the international coalition arrived and engaged the Elven God in fierce combat again, fighting for more than ten days. Finally, the Elven God forced the alliance to compromise and submit a peace negotiation agreement.

He was summoned for questioning, but from the questions, it was vaguely understood that the person who attacked the Pokémon was Ash Ketchum. Therefore, when answering questions, he tried to distance himself from Ash, pretending he knew nothing. Furthermore, given his background—he was indeed a native of Southeast Asia and had joined the Green Gang at age eight—he was exempted from further investigation and retained his original position.

As long as he retains his current position, he can serve Ash. The god-like young man before him is certainly no weaker than the Pokémon God. Now that he has been suddenly summoned to the realm of the gods, there must be some mission for him. He has been waiting for this day for a long time.

Wang Qiyi summoned Yanxu to inquire about the situation in Southeast Asia, primarily focusing on Mewtwo. Now that they had Hoopa, they might actually be able to fight Mewtwo. Mewtwo wasn't a major villain; it might even be an ally, someone who could stand on humanity's side when a world-class secret realm descended upon them in the future.

However, to get it to cooperate, you have to defeat it first. All Pokémon are subject to this basic rule: they can only be successfully captured after being beaten up by their trainer. Wang Qiyi doesn't expect to capture Mewtwo; he just wants it to be able to communicate with him as an equal and stand on humanity's side in future clashes with the gods.

"My status is too low to see the Spirit God."

"It's okay, just tell me whatever you know over there."

"A major event recently occurred. Just ten days ago, a nationwide announcement was made, declaring the establishment of a nation called the Elf Kingdom, with a red 'R' on its flag. In our country, elves have a higher status than humans. Without special circumstances, elves cannot be captured and placed in Poké Balls, and only those at the level of High-Rank Holy Warrior or above can possess Poké Balls," Yanxu reported truthfully.

"They've already established a nation? An 'R' on it! Isn't that Team Rocket? Mewtwo still has feelings for Team Rocket. Have you heard anything about the situation with the league?"

"The Alliance has recognized the existence of the Elf Kingdom, and the border issue has entered the negotiation stage."

"They've accepted it so quickly!" Wang Qiyi muttered to himself. "Logically, if they recognized the establishment of the Elf Kingdom, it would be tantamount to declaring the complete demise of those occupied countries in Southeast Asia. Those nobles who fled would definitely not want to see this happen and would certainly try to put pressure on the Alliance. But now that the Alliance has compromised, it's probably because they don't want to continue the war at this time. The predicted arrival of the world-class secret realm is getting closer and closer, and they need to focus on dealing with this biggest event. Perhaps the Alliance also wants to win over Mewtwo to the side of humanity."
