You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 204 Cattleya: All the happiness is yours, I just find it noisy.

Because of the official endorsement of the Padiya League, the events that occurred in Kitakami Township quickly became known to the world at minimal cost.

In fact, it was precisely because of Qingyu's special identity that the "Three Treasures Resurrected" incident, which could have had a huge impact later on, ended at lightning speed.

Having both the identity of the Padiya Pavilion Master and the supreme authority of interpretation granted by Chairman Yaji, all of Qingyu's actions became reasonable and legal.

As for whether it conforms to the procedure?

Sorry, but all the rules in our Padiya are decided by Chairman Yeci.

There cannot be two suns in the sky; in Padiya, there is only one sun, Yeshe.

So whatever she says goes!
Meanwhile, the valuable video recordings left by Ziyu became the best evidence of his "just execution," making him widely known through his other identity as a popular Pokémon TV streamer.

With both witnesses and physical evidence, the troublemakers of Beishang Township had no way to explain themselves.

As for other methods...

Putting aside the Sinnoh Champion, who is clearly close to the Blue Feather Gym Leader, if you anger her, it won't just be a matter within Padia.

Even if Egui Peng makes a slight move, they will be in deep trouble.

According to a legend that has been passed down in Kitakami Township for over a hundred years, the three Pokémon are hero-level Pokémon, the embodiment of bravery and fearlessness.

In the video, he was as small as an ant, and was easily and decisively killed by Ergui Peng with a single blow.

These three blows shattered the prejudices of the villagers in the north towards "ghosts," and they resolutely chose to follow their hearts.

As a result, Baoban Square was renamed Emerald Green Square at lightning speed, and the statues of the Three Treasures were planned to be replaced with the two ruthless characters, Egui Peng and Qing Yu.

As for Sanbaoban and Taodailang?
He was nothing more than the culprit who had caused the villagers to collectively misunderstand justice for over a century.

I'm so unfamiliar!
Facts show:

When you hold the truth in your hands, even the stupidest and most wicked person will instantly become a normal person again, as if they have suddenly become enlightened and can understand human language.

The plan for the improvement of Beishang Township was handed over to Qingyu after a phone call from Chairman Yeci.

"As long as Beishang Township isn't completely demolished and rebuilt, we can do whatever we want with it. It can't possibly get any worse than before anyway."

These are Chairman Ye Ci's original words.

In this regard, the solution devised by the Qingyu Pavilion Master, who is known for his "benevolence," is quite simple:
The administrator, Lao Deng, clearly had a close relationship with Tao Dailang and was likely still influenced by him after his death, so he decisively and "voluntarily" gave up his position as mayor.

As for the new mayor, he will naturally be a descendant of the craftsman who uncovered the historical truth and created the mask in the first place.

That is, Xuezhong, the grandfather of Danyu and Wuli.

As perhaps the only person in the village who knew the history, he provided a great deal of evidence to prove the historical facts after the incident.

At the same time, this old man was probably the most normal person in Beishang Township, which is why Qingyu felt comfortable entrusting him with all the subsequent rectification work.

Although Qingyu's attack on Taodailang caused a significant temporary loss to the village, the Sanbaoban dolls will definitely not be able to sell in the future.

But it might not actually be a bad thing.

At least in the future, these troublemakers will definitely not dare to blatantly rip off their customers anymore.

Moreover, the villagers quickly discovered new business opportunities in this:

Their best-selling item was originally the mask of the Evil Spirit, but the Sanbao Ban merchandise actually required more aggressive sales tactics, otherwise it simply wouldn't sell.

Even locals can't lie through their teeth and say that their Sanbaoban is prettier than Eguipeng.

Now that Master Yu has arrived, he's turned the "ghosts" into a regular army, so they can openly sell Evil Creature dolls from now on.

And then there's Qingyu, this "god of wealth"...

After learning that Qingyu was a well-known streamer with global influence, the villagers of Beishang Township instantly changed their attitude towards him.

As long as we can get in touch with Master Yu, the number of tourists visiting "Qingyu Square" will definitely be countless. How much more fortunate will our Beishang Township be?
and so--

We offer our loyalty to Mr. Qingyu, the greatest hero in the history of Beishang Township!
……

"So, all that happened last night?"

Standing at the Pokémon Center in Greentown, after Cynthia briefly recounted what had happened the night before, Caitalia felt as if the sky had fallen!

So many interesting things happened, and I had no idea I was even aware of them, and slept soundly until dawn?

Of course, there was something even more intriguing to her—

How did Qingyu manage to tame another adorable creature in just one night?

Cattleya's gaze unconsciously fell on Qingyu. A cute-looking Pokémon, seemingly wearing a green robe, was hiding behind him, only half of its head showing, and it was looking around warily.

She found it hard to connect this seemingly powerless Pokémon with the "ghost" in the video that easily defeated four opponents while wearing a mask.

So cute, I want to touch it...

"Boni?"

Sensing Gadriya's gaze, Egui Peng quickly withdrew his head and hid his entire body behind Qingyu.

Clearly, it is maintaining a certain level of vigilance towards all humans except Qingyu.

Although after hearing its story, Cattleya deeply understood and sympathized with its centuries-long suffering at the hands of humans, but...

I didn't mean any harm, so why is Qingyu the only one who's different?
Cattleya's face fell again, looking like a cat.

It seems all the happiness belongs to you guys; all I find is noise!

Zhu Lan simply smiled in response.

If Gadria had been there, with her powerful psychic abilities that even surpassed Alakazam's, that Madoka might not have shown up.

After all, superpowers are too much of a counter to the poison-attribute abilities of Momotaro and Sanpoban.

So it might not have been a coincidence from the beginning, but rather the result of Tao Dailang deliberately avoiding her.

"Speaking of which, theoretically, Momotaros and Sanpoban are unique beings, just like Evil Phantom, and might even be classified as legendary or mythical Pokémon, right?"

Zhu Lan looked at E Gui Peng, who was almost glued to Qing Yu, and smiled as she spoke.

"I never imagined that even something like this could be good or bad."

"Perhaps Tao Dailang's original intention was not bad, but an existence like it is still too dangerous for humans."

After making a high-level summary, Qingyu sighed.

He actually knew more about Momotaro, since there couldn't be a Game Freak promotional video in the Pokémon world explaining how Momotaro decided to go to Kitakami Village a hundred years ago.

As long as Tao Dailang exists, he will unconsciously influence the desires of the people around him.

Even though it had no malicious intent, the kind-hearted old couple who tamed it eventually became influenced by it and turned into puppets driven by desire.

Their amplified desires also fed back into Tao Dailang, shaping him into his current form.

Who dares to say they have no desires in their heart?

However, as long as one has desires, one is likely to lose rationality while interacting with Tao Dailang and eventually become his puppet.

Therefore, only the dead Momotaro is truly harmless to humans. As for keeping him for research or as atonement...

Regardless of whether Tao Dailang, whose thinking has now completely gone astray, can turn over a new leaf, a being that is close to being a legend will attract a lot of unnecessary trouble.

If Momotaro were to be subdued by more ambitious humans, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So, forget it.

Qingyu's gaze fell on Baoban Square, which had been reduced to ruins due to last night's battle, and he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Speaking of which, these unruly people from Beishang Township really know how to do business. If they could run this place more normally in the future, it might actually have a much brighter future than it does now."

When the villagers of Beishang Township first wanted to build a statue for her, Qingyu refused.

After all, he's still alive, and only eighteen years old. Building a statue of him feels a bit unlucky...

But he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the villagers, and they said things like "We can never repay Master Yu's kindness" and "We swear to be loyal to Parthia to the death".

What can I say?

However, after the entire Beishang Township was wiped out overnight, he no longer needed to handle the subsequent reconstruction plan. The new mayor and the commissioner sent by Padia would soon begin to re-plan the reconstruction.

Qingyu can finally enjoy his wonderful vacation again.

……

Crystal Lake, a volcanic lake located atop Guishan Mountain, is one of the six signature dishes of Beishang Township.

This is Qingyu and his group's destination for today.

Because of the legend of "ghosts" and the presence of many unfriendly Pokémon on the mountain, very few visitors dare to climb Ghost Mountain.

Even Padiya didn't really know much about this lake with its many unique crystals.

But now that Qingyu has subdued all the "ghosts," there's nothing to be afraid of anymore!
As for those Pokémon that dare to block the way, they become experience points for Sylveon and Riolu.

Ghost Mountain wasn't actually that high, so the climbing and fighting didn't last long, and Qingyu quickly reached the top first.

(Crystal Light Pool)

Upon seeing the large, colorful crystal that had condensed in the lake water, Qingyu quickly revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

Sure enough, he guessed right.

These crystals in the Crystal Pool are the original Taijing ore from Zone Zero!
“Boni…”

At the same time, Egui Peng also showed a nostalgic expression.

Even though it had been hiding behind Qingyu the whole time during the climb, it actually came out on its own and slowly walked to the lakeside, seemingly wanting to reach out and retrieve the crystals.

Seeing this, Qingyu became even more certain of her suspicions—

Crystal Pool may indeed be a natural landscape of Ghost Mountain, but the crystals within it are clearly related to Egui Peng... or rather, the man who brought the Taijing ore to Beishang Township.

Both the jewels embedded in the mask and his current treacherous behavior confirm this.

The only humans who came into contact with Zone Zero a century ago were probably members of the Heizhe Expedition or their descendants.

Just then, the surface of the lake suddenly began to tremble slightly.

"Boni?!"

Egui Peng, who was lost in his memories, suddenly stopped and became wary of any enemies that might appear at any moment beneath the lake's surface.

Qingyu immediately tensed up as well.
Soon, a long, thin black shadow appeared beneath the swaying lake surface.

With a deafening roar as the water burst open, a colossal creature leaped out of the water and came to the shore, letting out a threatening roar.

"Mi-oh!!!"

A giant Pokémon, resembling a sea serpent, appeared before Qingyu.

Milotic!
However, unlike the Milotic of the Bamboo Orchid, perhaps due to its long-term contact with the Primal Crystal Ore, it is even larger in size.

Its body was also covered with a layer of deep purple light, and the Taijing energy overflowing from the top of its head formed a shape similar to a ghost.

Clearly, like the wild Pokémon that strayed into Area Zero, it absorbed the energy of the Primal Crystal and gained the ability to use Primal Crystallize normally.

Qingyu suddenly remembered that this battle was triggered when she first came to the Crystal Pool in the game.

It seems to be the guardian protecting the Crystal Pool?
"This Milotic is very powerful, it's not even in the same league as the Pokémon we just encountered."

Even Cynthia felt its powerful aura, frowned, took out a Poké Ball from her pocket, and prepared for battle.

"It seems we're about to have another battle."

Qingyu sighed, and just as he was about to command Egui Peng, he noticed that after seeing this Milotic, its face quickly showed a joyful expression.

"Bonnieyo~"

Evil Pon jogged toward Milotic, waving repeatedly.

It seems they know Milotic.

"Meow?"

Upon seeing Evil Phantom, Milotic, who had seemed poised to attack at any moment, instantly softened, his eyes narrowing into slits.

Milotic acted quickly, gliding swiftly across the ground to Evil Phantom's side. It then wrapped its soft, wet body around Evil Phantom, letting out a sweet, coquettish laugh.

Seeing this, Zhu Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She also owns a Milotic, so she knows the meaning of this body language.

Only people with extremely close relationships would make such an effort to maximize the contact area.

"This Milotic seems to know Evil Creeper, and they seem to have a very good relationship?"

Qingyu was also stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"I see. Perhaps this Milotic was left behind by that legendary man from a hundred years ago?"

This also explains why, in the storyline, one cannot capture Milotic and must defeat it to approach the Crystal Pool.

Because of the existence of the Evil Spirit, they were spared a troublesome battle.

The interaction between Ursaring and Milotic quickly ended. After exchanging words for a while, Milotic quickly retracted its long tail that had been blocking the Crystal Pool.

The security system of Crystal Pool was easily bypassed by the "face-scanning hacker" E Guipeng without breaking a sweat.

After nodding politely to Milotic, Qingyu quickly stepped forward, cupped a handful of lake water in her hands, and began to examine it carefully.

Not only are there crystals at the bottom of the lake, but there are also tiny fragments of Taijing in the water, almost exactly the same as the contents that need to be filled into the Taijing Bead each time...

After confirming her guess, Qingyu quickly took out her Rotom phone and took pictures of everything she saw.

With Zone Zero temporarily locked down, perhaps research on the terrestrial crystal phenomenon can continue through a crystal pool?

In short, let's hand over the information to Chairman Yaji first.
