Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

“No.” Su Hao shook his head, pointed to the crescent pendant, and said, “Actually, this is my first time trying this. What just entered your mind can only be considered a seed at most. Since it hasn’t sprouted or blossomed yet, it’s easy to handle.”

"But the seeds sown in Shen Meizhuang and the others are already deeply rooted, and my touch just now had no effect at all."

Miao Yin looked at Su Hao in disbelief: "You brat, you used me as a guinea pig?!"

Su Hao flattered, "Hehe, isn't it all because Senior Miao has such a strong will?"

If I were to work for someone else outside, I couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be other problems.

Miao Yin wasn't buying it and asked directly, "So, what are you trying to do by showing me this?"

Su Hao chuckled, not revealing his purpose directly, but instead asked, "Senior Miao, do you know about Cresselia, the Goddess of Dreams?"

Miao Yin pondered for a moment: "Hmm, I've seen it in some documents before, so I know the general idea."

"I once got a feather from a gashapon machine that others thought was an ordinary Psychic-type bird Pokémon, but it was actually Crescent Feather of Cresselia, the Goddess of Dreams."

Miao Yin: "???"

With a look of shock on his face, Miao Yin couldn't help but blurt out a national treasure: "Holy crap, what kind of incredible luck do you have?"

Su Hao recalled the secrets he had heard in the time ripples and some things that the rabbi had revealed. He organized his thoughts and said, "The organization that distributed this crescent pendant is a religious organization called the 'Crescent Cult.' In addition, given the test tube fragment with the 'R' on it, I believe that the Crescent Cult and the R Research Institute have a very close connection."

"In fact, the headquarters or branch of the R Research Institute is located somewhere in the Sakura Country Alliance."

Miao Yin frowned, took out his tablet, logged into the alliance's backend, pulled up a set of data, and read aloud: "The Crescent Moon Cult is a religion that has emerged in the Sakura Kingdom Alliance in recent years. It has been officially determined by the Sakura Kingdom Alliance to be a harmless ordinary religious organization, and the tokens of their followers are indeed this crescent pendant."

After reading the key points, Miao Yin pondered and said, "Something's not right... According to what you've said, the Crescent Moon Sect couldn't possibly be considered a harmless religious organization."

“I don’t know about that. Perhaps we’ll have to wait for the investigation results.” Su Hao shook his head, showed the crescent moon pendant, and said, “However, besides that, there is something else I need Senior Miao’s assistance with.”

Miao Yin noticed that the pendant had become dull and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Su Hao revealed a malicious smile and said, "Besides Shen Meizhuang, you've also captured quite a few Crescent Moon Cult members, haven't you?"

A martial artist's intuition told Miao Yin that a sudden chill had invaded his body.

"They must all have a crescent moon pendant on them, and the pendant can plant the seeds of mind control in people. It's really too dangerous."

"Therefore, I would like to ask Senior Miao to hand over all these pendants to me, and then have you, a strong person with a firm will, act as the medium to guide the hidden power within the pendants to appear, so that I can absorb all the power from the God of Dreams within them."

Miao Yin: "......."

Chao, are you really not going to live with yourself?!

Chapter 591 Su Hao, the Scoundrel Who Bullies the Elderly

Leaving aside the inhumane mental trauma Miao Yin endured.

The subordinates of the Ultimate Cave Special Operations Team only remembered that after Miao Yin came out of the secret room, the once energetic and imposing Miao Yin became listless and unsteady on his feet.

It looks just like... cough cough cough.

Inside the secret room, Su Hao looked at the cool pink and gold patterns on his super glove with satisfaction. It had absorbed the energy that appeared in those crescent pendants. Perhaps the dim crescent feathers woven into the glove material had regained their energy?

Su Hao remembered Articuno saying that once Crescent Feathers had enough energy, nightmares could be dispelled. Perhaps once the energy was fully replenished, he could sense Cresselia's location and know whether she was truly working for the Crescent Cult... or rather, the R Research Institute behind it.

Ultimately, the thirty-six Crescent Moon Society members who were identified as the culprits were originally destined for the death penalty.

However, based on the evidence provided by Miao Yin, the alliance decided not to impose physical punishment on them because they had been under mind control. Instead, they were temporarily detained until the mind control was resolved.

Faced with the evidence, Shen Lingyun and Shen Zishan also fell silent. Considering the emotions of the innocent family members and Su Hao's instigation, the alliance sent professionals to temporarily take over Shen Meizhuang's work to continue operating the power plant.

At the same time, psychological counseling and guidance were provided to the Shen father and son on multiple occasions.

Su Hao believed that this was all he could do, along with settling accounts with the R Research Institute, including Ye Yibu's.

........................

The next day, at 11:00 AM.

Su Hao's advanced ball to master ball level 3-on-3 singles match started at the match center.

Because Naruto City had recently suffered an attack by wild Pokémon, the entire city was busy dealing with the problems left over from that incident, so this tournament was not held in the large arena open to the public at the Naruto City Battle Center.

The only people present were the referee, Su Hao, and his opponent in this qualifying round.

The referees for this event happened to be Su Hao, who was making his first dojo challenge, and Song Jian, who was also a referee at the High School Cup.

As someone who witnessed Su Hao's rapid rise and rise in status, Song Jian had mixed feelings when he received the news that he would be the referee for Su Hao's Masters-level promotion tournament.

Su Hao's opponent is also quite formidable.

The old man's name is Ye Tian. He is about sixty or seventy years old and his hair is not completely white. He has been active in the ranking matches and is affectionately called "Master Goalkeeper" by many netizens.

Although losing too many times at the Master level will cause you to drop back to the Advanced level, it's rare to see someone like Ye Tian who, despite losing more than winning, stubbornly stays on the edge of dropping and keeps playing promotion matches against those who are advancing.

The two first glanced at each other, exchanging a brief look.

Su Hao's first impression of Ye Tian was that although his skin had started to show many wrinkles, he was in good spirits.

Ye Tian glanced at Su Hao and, upon seeing his appearance, instantly remembered that Su Hao was the genius who frequently appeared on television due to his outstanding performance in the college league.

Ye Tian shook his head with a sigh, as if mocking himself: "Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older."

Ye Tian's ranking at the Master Ball level indicates that there are over ten thousand Gym Leaders ahead of him. While this may seem like a lot, in reality, if you were to distribute them across the vast land of the Divine Continent Alliance, they would be extremely rare.

"They are much more spirited than I was when I was young... This confidence is truly dazzling and eye-catching."

Ye Tian smiled and shook his head, forcefully throwing the Poké Ball forward. Judging from the trajectory, it was clear that his force was not very strong.

The Poké Ball landed gently, and a giant electric petrel with a swollen throat pouch and sharp eyes that couldn't hide the twilight gloom danced in the air, electricity leaping between its wings.

At the same time, the Pokémon sent out by Su Hao also appeared on the field.

Its feathers are jet black, its wings seem to blot out the sky, and its body is enormous!

Warrior Eagle (Washed Green) (Different Colors) (Leader) dignified

Debut!

Once trainers have gained some experience, they can often judge a Pokémon's strength by the aura it exudes.

For example, Giant Puff is a Gym Leader level Pokémon in the early stages, while Green Eagle is only a Pro level Pokémon in the late stages.

"Is this... underestimating me?"

Ye Tian frowned, thinking that Su Hao was far too young and impetuous.

He actually thought he could take down his Giant Electric Pelipper with just a single professional-level late-stage Pokémon!

"Fair wind!"

"Please rain!"

The former was commanded by Ye Tian, ​​and the latter by Su Hao.

The Great Electric Petrel flapped its long wings, and a stream of wind instantly swirled around its body. Some of these winds, under the Great Electric Petrel's control, gently bumped against its body. Whenever the winds rubbed against the Great Electric Petrel's feathers due to the impact, a large amount of electricity was generated out of thin air, becoming the Great Electric Petrel's power.

With just this one move, Ye Tian demonstrated the depth of his expertise in developing abilities and moves as a veteran trainer.

The eagle, a warrior of emerald green, nonchalantly stirred up the air currents, summoning large rain clouds indoors, and in an instant, a torrential downpour began.

Ye Tian commented on Su Hao's choice of moves: "Truly... he's reaping what he sowed!"

Triggered by the characteristics of wind power generation, the Big Electric Seagull was in a state of accumulating power, but Su Hao seemed to think that the Big Electric Seagull was not powerful enough, and forcibly sent a rainy day that was like paradise for the Big Electric Seagull.

Ye Tian had never watched Su Hao's matches, but he had only heard of his reputation. At this moment, he was starting to doubt whether Su Hao was just someone the media had hyped up.

Su Hao knew very well that the simplest way for the Emerald Warrior Eagle to fight beyond its level was to use its hidden strength, and the Emerald Warrior Eagle needed the assistance of rain to exert even a small amount of Lugia's power.

Yes, rainy days will enhance the power of storm surges, but so what?

Su Hao calmly ordered, "Unleash an endless hurricane and tear the enemy apart!"

Ye Tian thought the young man's move names were all so fancy and shook his head, saying, "Thunder!!"

The giant electric petrel let out a high-pitched cry towards the sky (referring to the ceiling). In an instant, golden lightning began to flash from the center of the giant electric petrel, and a violent thunderstorm swept indiscriminately in all directions, filling the air with a pungent, acrid smell.

In response, the Emerald Warrior Eagle calmly activated Perpetual Enhancement Meditation, and then flapped its wings.

In an instant, the airflow under the dark clouds became violent, and a storm like a natural disaster raged in the venue. On the first contact, the thunder of the Great Electric Petrel was defeated like a landslide, without even making a ripple, and was directly swallowed up by the hurricane stirred up by the Emerald Warrior Eagle.

Immediately afterwards, the raging storm seemed to form a wind domain full of murderous intent. Countless tiny wind blades bloomed on the body of the Great Electric Swallow. Before the Great Electric Swallow could even put up an effective counterattack, it was transformed into a "Blood Swallow" covered in blood and wounds and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Silence, deathly silence.

Song Jian's lips twitched. He felt that Su Hao seemed to have tasted success in the college league and was becoming increasingly unruly after no longer hiding his strength.

Ye Tian's eyes widened, still reeling from the shock of his own Electric Seagull being instantly defeated in one move.

My 80- or 90-year-old mother, this script seems a bit off!!

------------

Chapter 592 Master Ball Level 10011!

Without Song Jian's prompting, Ye Tian silently recalled his Electric Petal and sent out his second Pokémon—a Zebra at the early stage of the Gym Leader level.

The rules don't restrict Su Hao from switching Pokémon. After recalling the Green Warrior Eagle, which was having a less-than-satisfying match, into its Luxury Ball, Su Hao laughed and said, "I'll let Diancie play against you later, you'll definitely have a great time."

The Emerald Warrior Eagle: "???"
