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

At 9 PM on the night of the selection competition, the Shenzhou Alliance team had completely penetrated deep into the Aokigahara Forest, leaving the edge areas and entering a region that could truly be called a paradise for wild Pokémon.

At this moment, everyone gathered in the territory of the Honeycomb Serpent that Su Hao had just successfully "captured," including the companions he had gathered along the way. Now, Su Hao's Grass-type Pokémon army has exceeded 40.

The thirty riding goat tribe members, along with Oliva, were classified by Su Hao as support/interference Pokémon. The wild Grass-type Pokémon they searched for afterward still adhered to two principles—solitude and strength.

"Early Champion level Pokémon like Meowth, Honeycomb Orochi, and Torterra, and late Gym level Pokémon like Olivier, Ferrothorn, Amoonguss, and Whimsicott... Uh, isn't Su Hao's Pokémon selection a bit strange?"

Xiao Zijian held up the dumbbells that Su Hao had taken out of his magic bag, squatting down while counting them.

Jin Lin had some thoughts on Su Hao's choice. Her hands were almost blurring as she frantically prepared food suitable for these Grass-type Pokémon, saying, "Whether it's Mount Goat or Oliva, they are all Pokémon that excel at support and disruption."

"From the very beginning, Su Hao never expected wild Gym Leader level Pokémon to fight against the elites of other leagues. His main fighting force must be those three Elite Four level Pokémon."

Cheng Liming chimed in, "His special ability can tightly connect these wild Pokémon that should be extremely loose, and many times, it can produce an effect that goes beyond 1+1."

Bai Linglong sighed, "At least in my opinion, if any one of us, or all four of us, encountered this legion, even if we went all out, we might not be able to escape unscathed."

"If we're already like this, the other teams are probably in the same boat. Let's just relax and be Su Hao's sidekick in this qualifier and win without lifting a finger."

The four men sat around the roaring campfire, expressing their emotions and sighing deeply.

They were already considered among the best of the younger generation in the Divine Continent Alliance, yet a sense of inferiority involuntarily arose in their hearts in front of Su Hao.

Whether it's the strength of their Pokémon or their own abilities, Su Hao is several times stronger than them, and he's only eighteen years old!

The four men, who were seven or eight years older than Su Hao, were somewhat frustrated.

Suddenly, a shadowy figure, barely visible in the night, leaped from the branches and came to their side.

Upon seeing the magical masked cat, the group was initially taken aback. Then, as if realizing something, they quickly extinguished the fire, swiftly cleared away any traces of their camping, and found a hiding spot.

As Su Hao had said, in order to avoid revealing his team's strength and to save his trump cards for the official matches after the qualifiers, he would only send out wild Pokémon to fight in this qualifier.

Now, all the four need to do is conceal their presence, so that the other teams are unaware that the wild Pokémon army comes from their Shenzhou Alliance.

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

Five kilometers away from the territory of the Honeycomb Serpent, a somewhat disheveled team quietly arrived at the location.

They are a team from the Georgian League, and their strength is almost at the bottom among the 48 teams in this selection tournament. The strongest fighter of their captain, Mara, is only a late-stage Gym Leader Roseradore.

Mara, as the leader of the Georgian Union, has exquisite and beautiful features, a tall figure, and long, beautiful legs, but these advantages that humans have are completely lost in this sea of ​​trees in the Bluewood Plain.

Her team was initially deployed to a location that crossed the edge of the region, where most wild Pokémon possessed at least professional-level combat power, and Gym-level wild Pokémon were also frequently encountered.

The five of them had already expended a lot of energy just to move forward. Fortunately, they didn't encounter any Elite Four level Pokémon, otherwise they probably would have had to send out a distress signal before even seeing any other teams.

However, this good fortune vanished at that moment.

"A Celestial King-level early stage... Honey Orochi!"

Mara stared solemnly at the enormous apple blocking her view. Seven snake-like heads danced on the apple, and there was no doubt that these heads possessed consciousness and the ability to attack.

Honeybee is the evolved form of Honeybee, and its type is Grass/Wild.

Dragons are extremely difficult to deal with.

However, even with this, Mara wasn't without the confidence to fight with all her might and escape with her teammates.

From the shadows where Mara was completely unaware of their presence, as if lying in ambush, another magical masked cat and a Turtle emerged one after the other. Their auras were the same as those of Honey Orochi, both at the early stage of the Elite Four level.

Mara's teammate exclaimed in disbelief, "My God! How can these wild Pokémon coexist peacefully? Shouldn't they be fighting to the death for their territory?"

Mara understood her teammates' doubts, but now was not the time to dwell on them, because some more Gym Leader level Pokémon had emerged.

Cold sweat beaded on her temples and back. Mara made a desperate gamble: "Full force! We must escape from these strange wild Pokémon, no matter what!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her teammates threw out all the Poké Balls they had brought, and red light filled the area in an instant.

On an unremarkable tree branch a kilometer away from the Georgian League, Su Hao, who was using Aura to coordinate the movements of wild Pokémon, smiled and whispered, "Grassy Terrain Domain, activate!"

The next instant, even Su Hao's location could see that a strange green light suddenly appeared a kilometer away.

The scene shifts to the battlefield.

The moment the Grassy Field was formed, even though her ace Roseredo was enhanced, a hint of despair still appeared in Mara's beautiful eyes.

The giant serpent led the way, while a small snake in the center, responsible for issuing commands, raised its head and let out a loud roar that echoed throughout the forest.

The move "Dragon's Roar" raises the morale of all allies, making it easier for moves to hit vital points. It is even more effective against Dragon-type Pokémon.

Meanwhile, the "syrup bomb" attacks from the other six snakes and insects are also ready to be unleashed.

With the support of the grassy field, Magic Masked Cat is like a ruthless Grim Reaper reaping the Georgian Alliance's strength. Using the grassy slide, it is like a green light, constantly shuttling between battlefields.

Torterra unleashed its Crazy Plant attack, its thick trunk rampaging across the battlefield. Any Georgian League Pokémon hit by it would be instantly knocked unconscious by the terrifying force.

The entire battle lasted less than three minutes before the Georgian Union collapsed completely and lost its ability to fight.

Now, only Mara's last remaining fighting force, Roseradore, is struggling to hold on.

Suddenly, as if receiving some kind of order, the terrifying army of wild Pokémon stopped moving and dispersed like a tide.

Before leaving, several Grass-type Pokémon used Vine Whip to steal the four Score Bracelets from Mara's teammates, excluding Mara.

"Huh?" Mara suddenly looked up, a ridiculous idea popping into her head.

Does the fact that these wild Pokémon took the points bracelets mean that they were following orders from someone in a team?

If that's really the case, then why not just take her points bracelet?

Chapter 634 Cultists Spread Throughout Tokyo

"He's using wild Pokémon as pawns to attack other teams and steal their ranking bracelets...?" one of the team leaders, who was watching the stage closely, murmured.

In the live feed, the Georgian League team appeared to have simply been attacked by wild Pokémon due to bad luck.

But these team leaders, who had a semi-divine perspective, knew very well that these Grass-type Pokémon were probably all created by the captain of the Shenzhou Alliance team!

After all, they had witnessed the other party collecting wild Pokémon in the Aokigahara Forest as if it were their own territory for an entire day.

"He even deliberately left Captain Mara's points bracelet so that the Georgian Union team wouldn't be eliminated immediately. What is he trying to do...?"

"Generally speaking, in order to maintain an advantage without leaking this intelligence, wouldn't the best option be to simply eliminate the Georgian Union team?"

Unlike the team leaders who were enthusiastically analyzing the situation, the Georgian Union team leader's face turned pale and then red, a truly fascinating sight.

Anyone who sees their team being crushed by an opponent through external force would have the same expression as him, and might even feel worse.

"The power of the eternal moon... so there's another trick to it."

Liao Xingchen raised an eyebrow with interest. It turned out that the mysterious power of the Everlasting Rock, which only a very few people possessed, could actually do such a thing.

It seems that his decision to have Marcia temporarily act as Su Hao's bodyguard was somewhat unnecessary.

With his personal abilities alone, Su Hao was able to lead the team to stand out in the selection competition.

After finishing her thoughts, Liao Xingchen looked at the open space not far away.

It has been a long time since Ito Ryuzaki, the champion of the Sakura Country League, left, and he still has no intention of returning. Is he confident that the Sakura Country League will advance, or has he encountered some inescapable situation?

Liao Xingchen felt that something was wrong. There was an indescribable strange feeling about the whole of Tokyo, but he couldn't move freely in the territories of other alliances.

"It seems we can only deal with whatever comes our way."

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

Late at night, at the headquarters of the Sakura Kingdom Alliance.

Ito Ryuzaki impatiently tapped the table, feeling extremely irritated and not wanting to stay there any longer.

The Crescent Moon Cult's infiltration of the Sakura Kingdom Alliance has reached a point where it would be so illogical in a novel that readers would be furious. Half of the high-ranking members have become their supporters, while the other half is filled with people who are indifferent or want to protect themselves. Resisters like him are extremely rare.

The person who is now asking him to meet is his colleague, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Steel Heavenly King, Mikado.

Moreover, Mikami Hibiki was also one of the rebels.

His approach was to involve the Shinsengumi, a grassroots organization, in order to get young people who were unwilling to indulge in their dreams to interfere with the Crescent Moon Church's plans.

Meanwhile, Yujian Xiang works alone, secretly sabotaging the Crescent Moon Cult's plans.

They would keep in touch occasionally, but they rarely met at headquarters like this anymore.

Of course, Ito Ryuzaki suspected that Mitsurugi Hibiki might have also fallen, otherwise meeting in any alley would have been more reliable than here.

Out of trust for his colleagues and seniors, Ito Ryuzaki ultimately chose to keep the appointment.

Snap, snap, snap.

Rhythmic footsteps sounded, getting closer and closer to the room where Ito Ryuzaki was, and finally stopped in front of the door.

After a moment of silence, Ito Ryuzaki took a deep breath, gripped the Poké Ball tightly, and said, "Miken-senpai?"

After a deathly silence, a voice rang out: "...It's me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tightly closed door was pushed open, and a man dressed as a ronin walked in.

Just as Ito Ryuzaki was observing Mitsurugi Hibiki, Mitsurugi Hibiki was also observing Ito Ryuzaki. After a while, it seemed that they had finally confirmed that the other party was not under control, and their auras relaxed immediately.

However, unlike Ito Ryuzaki's relief, Mitsurugi Hibiki's face still held a hint of gloom.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two

Let's get straight to the point.
