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

Before the Magic Masked Meow could use the powerful vitality of an Elite Four Pokémon to recover from its injuries, Su Hao rode his goat to the Magic Masked Meow's side.

At this moment, the Magic Masked Cat was vastly different from its previous light and agile state. Its fur was curled and charred black from the burning magic, and it had temporarily lost its ability to move, leaving it vulnerable to attack.

Under the resentful gaze of the Magic Masked Cat, Su Hao remained silent for a moment, then turned and dismounted from his goat mount. He then took out a box of energy cubes from his pocket and strode forward.

The team leaders who were watching Su Hao's movements noticed that after the Diancie appeared, a bright light enveloped the entire screen. Then, a crackling sound of electricity rang out, the drone crashed, and the screen went black due to loss of signal.

Liao Xingchen smiled at the hesitant gaze and said to Ito Ryuzaki, who was looking at him, "How much does this drone cost? Our Shenzhou Alliance will compensate you!"

After saying that, Liao Xingchen glanced at Hadanbatel, whose expression kept changing, seemingly unintentionally, which made him even angrier.

Ito Ryuzaki tightened the black haori draped over his body and said, "Liao-san, don't worry about it. The loss of just one drone is nothing for our Sakura Country Alliance to ask you for compensation."

"I have some matters to attend to in the league, so I'll have to excuse myself for now."

After saying that, Ito Ryuzaki turned and walked towards the outside.

Once Ito Ryuzaki's figure disappeared from sight, Park Jung-yu, one of the four Ghost-type Heavenly Kings of the South Korean Alliance, withdrew his gaze and said meaningfully, "It seems that the Sakura Country Alliance has a lot of confidence in its own team."

As if inspired by Park Jung-yu, Galatea Vias, the psychic king of the Tianzhu Alliance, stroked his chin and said, "Speaking of which, the Sakura Kingdom Alliance team seems to have stayed in one place without moving in the surveillance footage."

Hearing their discussion, Liao Xingchen frowned, sensing that Ito Ryuzaki and the others seemed to possess some kind of secret weapon...

Considering the information Marshadow brought back, if they could also utilize the power of wild Pokémon like Su Hao, the only wild Pokémon in the Aokigahara Forest that would give them such confidence... would be Zarude, right?

If that's the case, then it's going to be a bit troublesome.

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

After leaving the monitoring room, Ito Ryuzaki went to a secret room and used a landline phone located there to make a call.

After a few beeps, the call connected, and Ito Ryuzaki said, "It's me."

On the other end of the phone, it was also a male voice: "Mr. Champion, what can I do for you?"

"I've received a report... Has Interpol successfully infiltrated the Crescent Moon Cult?"

"Yes, although we don't know exactly which detective it was, they did successfully infiltrate the place."

“Good… very good!” Ito Ryuzaki slammed his fist on the table in front of him, his expression excited and thrilled. “In any case, this is an opportunity. You continue to operate as the ‘Shinsengumi’ and make sure to distract the Crescent Moon Cult and help that Interpol agent obtain decisive evidence within the Crescent Moon Cult.”

"As ordered!"

After hanging up the phone, Ito Ryuzaki leaned back against the wall and let out a long sigh.

Finally, an outside force noticed the Crescent Moon Cult's unusual activities, and it wasn't just any ordinary force... Interpol, who likely used the power of a legendary Pokémon to successfully evade the indoctrination ritual for joining the cult.

The Crescent Moon Cult has now secretly amassed a vast power thanks to half of the Sakura Kingdom Alliance's high-ranking members who voluntarily "joined" the cult.

Half of the high-ranking officials were captivated by the power of the dream. Ito Ryuzaki had already exhausted all his efforts to protect himself and had no time to resist the dark hand that was gradually enveloping the Sakura Kingdom Alliance.

Now, he can only feign ignorance and play along with the Crescent Moon Sect. The entire Sakura Kingdom Alliance is on the brink of survival, and can only hope that an external force can break this deadlock...

The plan "Tsukuyomi" must not be allowed to come to fruition. The threat of the Dream God, which has absorbed the dream energy of life throughout Tokyo and even the Sakura Kingdom Alliance, will engulf the entire world!

Chapter 632 Couldn't think of a title, so I'll just use something cute ヽ

Heracross!

In the territory of the goat mount, Xiao Zijian cried out in alarm, but Heracross, engrossed in the fierce battle, had no time to respond.

The battered Heracross Horn was poised to unleash a million-ton horn strike, but it was to no avail.

Heracross stared in despair at the blizzard whistling towards Milotic's side.

It has no way to defend against such a wide-ranging attack!

After Heracross collapsed into an ice sculpture, Milotic nodded in satisfaction.

The training in Articuno's Secret Realm was quite effective; its proficiency and power with Ice-type moves were enhanced. Although it still couldn't match the power of its own Water and Dragon-type moves, it was already quite good as a coverage type.

After Milotic finished its battle, the outcome was also decided on Draco.

With a terrifying Dragon Dive, Doronmesia's brother knocked Cheng Liming's Nidoking off its feet, leaving it sprawled on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Dragapult's incredible performance made Bai Linglong's eyes light up; such a powerful Dragon-type Pokémon was exactly what she wanted.

Cheng Liming and Xiao Zijian, who had been thoroughly thrashed by the two Pokémon, exchanged a glance and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Having nothing better to do, they approached Milotic and Draco, who had been left behind by Su Hao, wanting to have a friendly spar.

The other party seemed to find it a bit boring and readily agreed to their request, and then... the nightmare began!

After their first Pokémon was easily defeated by Milotic and Dragapult, their pride as trainers got the better of them.

It's like this: Su Hao isn't around, so you guys can't possibly be that strong, right?

As a result, up until Heracross and Nidoking just now, four of their main forces had already been taken down by Milotic and Dragapult.

In the end, the two of them even saw a competitive and racing spirit in the faces of those two Pokémon.

This is too much——!

Xiao Zijian and Cheng Liming were both on the verge of tears. Why did they have to go and fight Milotic and Dragapult? Not only did their four main Pokémon lose their ability to battle, but they also lost face in front of Jin Lin and Bai Linglong.

When Su Hao returned on his goat mount, he saw Jin Lin and Bai Linglong trying to suppress their laughter, as well as Xiao Zijian and Cheng Liming, whose overall waveguide had become much darker.

what happened?

Su Hao dismounted from the back of his goat mount and looked around. It seemed... there were signs of a battle?

Before he could speak, a green phantom followed closely behind and arrived at the territory of the goat mount. The unbridled aura of a Champion-level being drew the attention of everyone and the Pokémon.

"King-level!?"

Before Bai Linglong and the others could get into a state of alert, under the strange gazes of Milotic and Dragapult, the King-level Pokémon completely disregarded the stares of others and stuck directly to Su Hao.

"Meow~~"

The leader of the goat mounts and Oliva, who arrived last, were utterly helpless at the Magic Masked Cat's behavior.

It all started when Su Hao summoned that pink, noble Pokémon... I think its name was Diancie?

Diancie's Magic Dazzle caught Magic Masked Cat off guard. Even with Magic Masked Cat's speed, it couldn't escape the massive, wide-range attack and was temporarily rendered immobile due to Diancie's highly effective all-out attack.

Next, the helpless Magic Masked Cat, under Su Hao's food offensive, communication with the power of Eternal Moon and the power of Aura, and the somewhat useful cat-petting techniques, chose to submit.

However, it's unclear whether it was because they were beaten into submission, because the energy cubes were too delicious, or for some other reason.

This magical masked cat was incredibly clingy to Su Hao, desperately trying to get his attention.

Before leaving, they also helped to rebuild the trees on the land that had become barren because of Diancie's attack.

Between the goat mount and Oliva's reminiscences, Su Hao, who was a little unaccustomed to the clingy nature of the Magic Masked Cat, pushed it away while recounting what had happened to the others.

Jin Lin said blankly:

"So... this early-stage Celestial King level Magic Masked Cat is now part of our fighting force!?"

A Grass-type Elite Four Pokémon... It's incredibly appealing to her, who specializes in Grass-type Pokémon.

Su Hao nodded slightly, unable to resist the Magic Masked Cat's frantic attempts to get his attention, and reached out to scratch its chin: "For the next three days, the Magic Masked Cat will temporarily serve as our team's fighting force to provoke other teams."

Bai Linglong said in a teasing tone, "It seems that Magical Masked Cat really likes you..."

Xiao Zijian and Cheng Liming nodded as well. The magical masked cat followed Su Hao closely, both in its movements and expressions.

Su Hao was also at a loss about what to do, as he himself couldn't figure out what the Magical Masked Cat was all about.

Although he enjoys petting and cuddling cats, it feels a little strange to be the one being cuddled by a cat in return.

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

After sending out the Magic Masked Meow to remove the warning environment, Su Hao was finally freed from the burden of being entangled by "Heavy Girl". After treating Cheng Liming and Xiao Zijian's Pokémon that had lost their ability to battle, he said earnestly, "Don't be so hot-blooded in the future. If you want to fight, I'm ready to fight anytime after the competition. What you're doing now is undoubtedly weakening your own combat power. It's really reckless!"

Xiao Zijian and Cheng Liming were so ashamed by Su Hao's words that they lowered their heads and said guiltily, "Captain, we were wrong..."

Su Hao didn't pursue their thoughts too much and simply moved on from the matter, then looked at Jin Lin and asked, "How are the other teams doing now?"

It's already 3 PM. Even if the drop-off locations are sparse, the other teams must have encountered the same problem by now.

Jin Lin replied, "Right now... the Bangladesh Alliance, which has gained fifty points and reached a total score of 100, is in first place, followed by the Indian Alliance with 80 points, and the South Korean Alliance with 70 points."

Su Hao frowned and asked suspiciously, "What about the Sakura Country Alliance?"

As the hosts, shouldn't they demonstrate their familiarity with the Aokigahara Forest and hunt down weaker teams?

Jin Lin swiped the screen of her points bracelet and frowned, saying, "Their points haven't changed; they're still at 50 points, just like us."

Cheng Liming said, "It feels like they're up to something."

Xiao Zijian raised his hand: "I think so too!"

After thinking for a while, Su Hao, unable to figure out what the Sakura Kingdom alliance team was up to, could only shake his head and say, "Don't worry about them, we'll run into them sooner or later anyway. What we need to do now is continue to expand our military strength. I heard from Magic Masked Meow about the location of a few more Grass-type Pokémon with decent strength."

"Let's continue to increase our support and move towards the central area."

The next update should be released around 1 PM.
