Pokémon cross over into the real world

Chapter 602 Titanium Crystallization

Wang Qiyi's identity is different now than before. Previously, his massive acquisition of Key Stones and Mega Stones allowed him to maintain his persona as a wealthy second-generation gem enthusiast, and no one cared how many Mystic Gems he bought. Therefore, on the day the Mega Stones were announced, he had thousands of Mega Stones and Key Stones in his possession.

But things are different now. If Dr. Wang were to acquire a large number of certain secret gems, everyone would surely guess that these gems are extraordinary, and the international alliance would definitely increase its investment in research, causing the price of the gems to skyrocket. Therefore, he can only have his people secretly search for them everywhere, and he can't fixate on any one type of ore; he has to make it appear as if he wants all kinds of ore.

This back-and-forth led to substantial expenses. The 200-plus titanium crystal beads alone cost over 5 million yuan. Including other minerals purchased to conceal the truth, as well as the titanium crystal ore itself, the total expenditure exceeded 20 billion yuan. Of course, this amount was still a drop in the ocean for Wang Qiyi.

Glowing Technology, relying on five major markets—special Poké Balls, Pokémon Transfer Devices, Fossil Revival Devices, Rotom Phones, and Power Cubes—generates over a trillion Dragon Coins annually. It is already the leading giant in the Dragon Kingdom and one of the world's top companies.

Both titanium crystal ore and titanium crystal beads have fixed attributes, resulting in eighteen different types. To change the attribute of a Pokémon's titanium crystal transformation, simply equip it with the corresponding titanium crystal bead. Before use, the titanium crystal bead must be charged with the titanium crystal ore of the corresponding attribute, and it must be charged after each titanium crystal transformation.

Titanium crystal beads can be used an unlimited number of times, but the titanium crystal ore will gradually lose energy and turn into ordinary crystals with each recharge. As for whether it can be regenerated, it is currently unknown and requires further research.

Inducing titanium crystallization is so simple, so why wasn't it discovered before? That's because naturally found titanium crystal beads are uncharged, and energizing them requires a specialized device. If people hadn't known about titanium crystallization beforehand, they would have had a hard time figuring out its uses.

Dong Bangzhe completed this research under Wang Qiyi's guidance. Although it wasn't enough to win a Nobel Prize in astrophysics, it was still a significant discovery and invention in history. Dong Bangzhe was destined for fame and fortune, and he was glad he had chosen the right person to work with.

Wang Qiyi demonstrated Titanium Crystallization to the Pokémon several times. Each Pokémon, after achieving this, wore an attribute crown, causing them to excitedly run around in all directions. Jerry, who couldn't fly, pestered Wang Qiyi to let him achieve a Titanium Crystallization and fly so he could fly for a while. Seeing that Jerry could fly, Bunta also came over wanting to try, but was promptly refused by Wang Qiyi.

Jerry is light, so even if he doesn't fly well, Egg can catch him. But Bunta, with his truck-like body, would be in serious trouble if he caused an accident while flying.

With titanium crystallization, Wang Qiyi is full of confidence for the upcoming championship assessment. He plans to surprise everyone with his unexpected display.

The League's legendary assessment gave Wang Qiyi half a month to prepare, during which he stayed in the World Tree Secret Realm to train. His Pokémon all had their own territories within the World Tree Secret Realm, and the local overlords were their underlings. Gamabunta was even the World Tree's personal gardener; its massive body served as a playground for the young Zarude, with a large group of Zarude cubs jumping around on its back and swinging on its vines.

When Wukong first came to the World Tree Secret Realm, he easily defeated a Zarude in a one-on-one fight, and the Zarude never forgot that grudge. So every time Wukong accompanied Wang Qiyi to the World Tree Secret Realm for training, they would inevitably spar with each other. Over time, Wukong also taught the Zarude quite a few martial arts techniques passed down from humans.

Xiao Hong secretly came to report to Wang Qiyi that Dracula had chatted with a female dragon somewhere in the secret realm, but was too embarrassed to bring her back. Wang Qiyi was puzzled. Wasn't Dracula in love with Wang Ruoping's Milotic? He was completely infatuated with her back then, so why had he fallen for someone else now? Well, Wang Qiyi decided it was best not to meddle in the elves' love affairs. This Dracula usually seemed so serious; he might actually be a womanizing male dragon who left his seed everywhere.

The place where Dracula showed his affections was a swampy jungle in the northern part of the secret realm, where a tribe of Gouramis lived. Moreover, all the Gouramis here were shelled and belonged to a variant of Gouramis, being both Steel and Dragon types. Since these rural Gouramis had never seen the outside world or other dragons, as soon as they saw the majestic and imposing Bloodwing Wyvern appear, a group of little bewildered dragons rushed up to ask to get to know him.

With his emotional appeal at its peak, Dracula naturally became the star of the show. Although this displeased several male Golems in the tribe, none of them could withstand a single blow from him. The local overlord, a Golem with near-legendary strength, was subdued by Dracula's dragon breath. Thus, Dracula became the leader of the tribe, possessing several Golems.

Dracula was not only incredibly powerful, but also far more knowledgeable than the average dragon. He recounted to the queen of his tribe the grandeur of the Dragon Kingdom's Dragon Island, the Dragon Canyon, and the Dragon Celebration. The sticky dragons in the tribe listened in awe, all yearning to see the Dragon Island.

Besides Dracula, Jerry and Pikachu are also social creatures, and the World Tree Secret Realm naturally has its own tribes of mouse creatures. Pikachu always stays by Wang Qiyi's side, but Jerry can't stay still and went off to unite the local mouse tribes. Unfortunately, this secret realm doesn't have the Chinchilla tribe; instead, it has the Rattata tribe from the western region and one other mouse tribe.

The Rada tribe is further divided into ordinary Rada, dark Rada, and a white family of rats, creating a three-way power struggle. Battles frequently occur between the three, but they have always maintained a balance. Now, an exceptionally powerful Chino squirrel has suddenly entered the fray. Originally not recognized by the three families, its strength is so overwhelming that no rat can rival it, forcing the three families to submit.

However, once the three rats followed this leader, the area they controlled immediately doubled, and the big-billed sparrows that used to bully them no longer dared to come.

"I feel like your Pokémon are almost unifying the World Tree Realm!" Mew noticed that Wang Qiyi's Pokémon were particularly active in the Realm.

"It's all just a joke. We don't live here long-term, so unifying this place wouldn't make any difference. The reason they're causing trouble is because I sent them out to gain more experience and spar with powerful overlords. They even brought energy cubes as payment. After each battle, they'll give the overlords a reward for their sparring."

"Your elves are indeed growing very fast, but this is still not enough to be on par with the gods."

"I know, this battle with Mewtwo has made the difference clear. Mewtwo might not even be the strongest among the legendary Pokémon. So I'm here to ask you for help with two things. As your messenger, it's not unreasonable for me to ask you for some assistance, is it?"

Mew rolled its eyes, its expression becoming more and more human-like, completely losing the innocent cuteness of a Pokémon: "Tell me, what do you need my help with? Let me tell you in advance, I don't like battling, so don't ask me to fight, especially not Mewtwo."

"I haven't even said it yet, did you fight it a thousand years ago and are you scared of it?"

"It's no use. Don't try to provoke me. I've read all your human military strategy books. I won't fall for it." Dream crossed her arms and turned her face away, pretending to be angry.

Seeing Mewtwo's appearance, Wang Qiyi smiled and shook his head. This elf, who had lived for thousands of years, still acted like a child; no wonder Mewtwo seemed so out of place. He said, "Don't worry, I'm definitely not looking to fight you. The first thing I want to do is ask you to ask Registeel, the guardian spirit of the secret realm, to be my sparring partner. I'll be participating in the legendary-level assessment soon, and I heard that the guardian spirit of the final stage is a Steelix, which happens to be the same type as Registeel. I want to familiarize myself with how powerful a high-defense Steel-type guardian spirit is beforehand."

Dream nodded: "That's easy, I'll talk to it about it in a bit. And the second thing?"

"The second thing is more important. I'd like to know about Arceus's seal. Do you know anything about it?"

"The seal of Arceus? Why are you asking about that?"
