Pokémon cross over into the real world

Chapter 515: The Elf Cult Holy War (1)

Wang Qiyi has spent most of his time in Dragon Country, arguably the safest nation in the world. The National Elf Alliance's control over the country is the strongest, even surpassing that of Eagle Country. This is also due to the local conditions of Dragon Country.

Because the Dragon Kingdom has been a unified empire since ancient times, the people are more obedient to collective leadership and management, and the idea that collective interests are higher than personal interests is deeply rooted. People believe that obeying the arrangements of the country and obeying the leadership of the organization is a natural thing, so such a large country is governed so well.

During the Warcraft War, the powerful European countries fought the Warcraft most fiercely and suffered the heaviest casualties. Although the earliest Warcraft trainers came from Europe, the Dragon Kingdom was the first place to quell the Warcraft War, so the Dragon Kingdom also has the largest population in the world.

Therefore, Wang Qiyi didn't know much about other countries in this world. In fact, this world was not peaceful, and various conflicts occurred every day. In the Dragon Kingdom, the gyms developed trainers through the model of Pokémon battle competitions, while in some poorer areas, trainers were directly developed through Pokémon killing, war and plundering.

Although this world has formed an Elf Alliance, the Alliance does not govern all regions and countries. Many places are still in the hands of warlords and family gangs. They form a small country of their own. Although national alliances have also been formed locally, the actual control of the alliance is very weak, and basically the local families have the final say.

South of the Dragon Kingdom lies a multitude of small and island nations, including South Vietnam, South Myanmar, the Philippines, Malay, Brunei, and Indonesia, all of which fall into this category. In ancient times, these southern nations were all very backward indigenous nations. Perhaps because Southeast Asia is close to the equator and lacks winter, obtaining food and energy was too simple, allowing people to obtain survival resources without labor. This prevented the local indigenous people from developing a strong civilization.

It wasn't until the 15th century, when Europe embarked on the Age of Exploration, that European nations began colonizing the oceans. Southern nations were subsequently divided and ruled by European powers, and by the end of the 19th century, after hundreds of years, these colonies had been built and developed. However, due to long-term domination, the locals lacked a unified cultural identity. With the advent of the Age of Elf in the early 20th century and the start of the Warcraft Wars, European powers, overwhelmed by their own concerns, withdrew from Southeast Asian nations, leaving a power vacuum in these countries.

By the time the World Pokémon Alliance was established, these regions had already been ruled by warlord families. Of course, the first warlord families were the most powerful trainers, the first to cultivate their own Pokémon, control the entrances to secret realms, and monopolize Pokémon training resources.

These loosely organized gangs and warlords fought for territory, leaving them in disarray and unable to organize themselves into a proper army. Therefore, the Elven Cult used this region as a breakthrough point. When the International Elven Alliance launched an open boycott of the Elven Cult, labeling it a cult, Southeast Asia offered no cooperation. Instead, numerous missionaries rapidly spread the Elven Cult's teachings throughout the region.

There were also some warlords and high-ranking officials of large families who were kidnapped by the Elf Cult and handed over to Mewtwo to plant mental imprints in their brains, turning them into devout Mewtwo believers.

In the Kingdom of Marley, the capital of Jilong is the largest city in the country. Although the country is very poor and backward, the capital is still very modern. Tall buildings stand in rows, the streets are bustling with traffic, and the sky is filled with countless flying elves carrying people on their journeys, making it a prosperous place.

However, at that moment, a massive black cloud appeared in the distance, obscuring the sunlight. Long sirens blared throughout the city, and people stopped their work and looked up. Seeing the oppressive black cloud on the horizon, they immediately turned and ran for the nearest shelter. The panicked crowds caused stampedes and traffic accidents.

Cars were jammed in the middle of the road. Those with Pokémon immediately released their mounts and bolted. Some even took advantage of the situation, releasing Pokémon to steal and rob. The entire city was suddenly plunged into chaos. From several secret realms near the capital of Jilong, Pokémon poured out in large numbers, and the suburbs and wilderness were already overrun by Pokémon. The trainers responsible for guarding the wilderness didn't dare to intervene, but instead sounded the alarm.

The actual controllers of the capital of Jilong are the three major families of Marley, and the president of the National Alliance is also selected from these three families. When faced with a large-scale beast siege, the three major families naturally rushed to the front lines, but even with all the trainers from the three families, it was difficult to resist the beast tide.

At the Pokémon Alliance office in Jilong's capital, National President Anvara asked in panic, "How did the beast tide get so close to the capital? Didn't we ask the three major families to send trainers to stop them?"

The secretary was also a little panicked: "The three major families did stop a group of beasts, but the capital is experiencing another group of beasts."

"How could there be so many beast hordes? Is there a new large secret realm near Jilong City? That's not right. A large secret realm would have a warning two or three months in advance. This time there was no warning at all. It must be a small secret realm or a micro secret realm at most. How could there be so many beast hordes?"

"Mr. President, the beast tide did not come from a newly emerged secret realm, but from an old secret realm."

"Come out of the old secret realm? Did someone slaughter elves en masse and provoke the overlord of the secret realm? Or did someone incite the elves?"

"Mr. President, the trainers fighting on the front lines have important intelligence." An official rushed into the office. "It wasn't just the beast horde that attacked the capital of Jilong, but also human trainers. It's said to be from the Spirit Cult. They sent a large number of believers to incite the spirits in various secret realms, unleashing their ferocity and driving them to attack the city."

"The Elven Cult! Damn it, they're at it again. Didn't they attack those great powers? Why are they targeting us this time?" Anvara paced back and forth in his office, reflecting on the Elven Cult's terrorist attacks around the world. The most brutal was the one against New York City, which had dispatched a hundred thousand Elven beasts and two guardian spirits. New York City was hosting the World Masters Tournament at the time, and the younger generation of masters from around the world were gathered there. The city also dispatched two powerful guardian spirits, and in just one day, they drove back the beasts.

Although their Marley Nation wasn't as powerful as the Eagle Nation, it still had the ability to repel a 100,000-strong beast tide. He immediately calmed down and said, "Have the three major families summon their respective guardian deities to deal with the crisis, and then notify General Babu..."

"Mr. President, General Babu's troops do not belong to the Elf Legion, they are hot weapons troops..."

"I know," Anvara interrupted the official. "This is a critical moment for the country. Let them send the armored corps into the capital of Jilong first. Our firearms cannot be used against the elves, but we can fight against the elves..."

There was a loud bang, and Anvara was halfway through his sentence when he felt the entire office shake, the window glass shattered, and he and his secretary unconsciously fell to the ground. Anvara immediately released his own Pokémon, Turtlefoot Giant Armor, a Rock-type and a Water-type.

The towering figure of the Turtlefoot protected Anvara. He was also a legendary trainer, and his ace Turtlefoot possessed high-level legendary combat power, making him a very powerful figure in Marley. At this moment, the Alliance Building shook, clearly someone was attacking it.

"Quick! Go notify the three major families!" Anvara shouted. The secretary hurried out. The building continued to shake, and the entire building's security system was activated. A group of bodyguards and their elves rushed into the president's office to protect him as he left.

At that moment, the window panes shattered as a Pidgeot slammed straight in, punching a large hole through the window and the adjacent wall. Pidgeot flapped its wings, unleashing its Flying Skill—Fierce Wind. A storm surged through the hole into the president's office, blowing away everyone inside, whether human or Pokémon.
