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

Ito Ryuzaki asked, "Is there something important you wanted to discuss with me here, senpai?"

Yu Jianxiang nodded silently, his voice dry, "Their plan has been brought forward."

Ito Ryuzaki: "!!!"

His eyes widened involuntarily, and Ito Ryuzaki exclaimed, "So sudden!? Didn't the previous information say that the collection of Dream Energy would take at least another six months?"

Mikage Hibiki shook his head: "I don't know why, but the Crescent Moon Cult has started to speed things up. Bishop Aoi Sawaki has even sent all the members of the Crescent Moon Cult to act as 'wedges' in the streets and alleys of Tokyo, wanting them to become the coordinates for spreading the dream!"

Ryuzaki Ito's breathing quickened as he exclaimed in shock, "Could it be that they intend to first cover all of Tokyo with the dream energy, and then use the dream energy generated by the residents of Tokyo to expand the scope until it covers the entire Sakura Kingdom Alliance, and even the world?"

Yujianxiang nodded: "That's probably it. Moreover, there are quite a few people who have come into contact with the Crescent Moon Cult in the current selection competition. The Aokigahara Forest will probably be covered by dreams as well."

"Ito, we have to make a decision. If we don't take this gamble, the Sakura Kingdom Alliance will be completely controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes!"

Ito Ryuzaki gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you know when the plan will be moved up?"

Mitsurugi glanced at his watch; the hour hand quietly pointed to midnight. He replied, "It's a new day. The 'Tsukuyomi' plan will begin tomorrow night on the night of the new moon!"

Ryuzaki Ito's gaze hardened, and he said solemnly, "...I will immediately gather my forces. No matter what, we must break through the Crescent Moon Cult's numerous blockades and liberate the Dream Goddess Cresselia!"

Yu Jianxiang nodded, his expression solemn, and said, "I will also lend you a hand."

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

That night, the Georgian Union team, who were spared thanks to Su Hao's special care and temporarily retained their eligibility to participate, were telling a team they had encountered about their experience.

The captain of the Korean Alliance team asked with a strange expression, "Are you saying that someone used wild Pokémon to attack you and stole four ranking bracelets, leaving only yours?"

Mara and the four team members nodded firmly in affirmation.

The five members of the Korean Alliance exchanged glances, picked up their score bracelets, and checked again. They said impatiently, "But during the time period you described, not a single team from any alliance gained 40 points!"

Are you lying to avoid being eliminated?

Chapter 635 The Resistance Alliance

"Su Hao, are we really not going to transfer the points in our bracelets?"

Xiao Zijian tossed the points bracelet in his hand and asked with a curious look.

Before Su Hao could answer, Cheng Liming gave Xiao Zijian a disdainful look and said, "Are you stupid? If we directly transfer the points to ourselves, wouldn't that be blatantly telling everyone that the Shenzhou Alliance team is controlling wild Grass-type Pokémon to steal the points bracelet?"

Xiao Zijian was not hurt at all by Cheng Liming's words, and looked enlightened: "So that's how it is!"

Su Hao nodded, confirming Cheng Liming's statement, and added a few more words: "From now on, our location will also be detected by other nearby teams, so we need to be more cautious in our actions."

"We can allow other league teams to form alliances, but we must create an atmosphere where it's unclear which team is actually behind the wild Pokémon army."

"Otherwise, when forty-odd teams unite as one to deal with us, even with king-level combat power, it would still be difficult to win against the combined resistance of geniuses from all over the world."

Bai Linglong raised an eyebrow, accurately catching the key point in Su Hao's words: "Is it... a little difficult?"

Could she interpret this as meaning that even if the other forty-odd alliance teams joined forces, Su Hao would still have a way to win?

Jin Lin suddenly said, "Su Hao, the cunning celestial dog has discovered a new team."

Su Hao smiled and said, "So fast?"

This is truly a double blessing! As they gradually move towards the center of the Aokigahara Forest, they will encounter more and more teams, and the news that there is a team in this selection tournament that can control wild Pokémon will spread.

With three Elite Four-level wild Pokémon and numerous powerful Gym Leader-level support Pokémon, no single team could withstand this force. Forced by the crisis, they had no choice but to cooperate.

Once the crowd gathers together, Su Hao can more easily check if any of the contestants are mentally controlled by the Crescent Moon Cult, which is many times faster than him going door-to-door to attack them one by one.

Su Hao stood up, dusted off his pants, and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go. After we finish attacking this group of opponents, as originally planned, we should also integrate into those teams as members of the Fear Manipulators team!"

"In other words, Mission: Impossible!"

Bai Linglong and the other three stood up together, their faces showing obvious excitement and eagerness.

They must be furious when they are being played like fools by the mastermind behind the scenes, and they would want to find the mastermind and tear them apart.

But when it's their turn to be the masterminds behind the scenes, their mindset is completely different.

I really look forward to seeing the expressions on the faces of those people in the team when they find out that the enemy they're wary of is right next to them all along!

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

Starting late at night on the second day of the qualifiers, a message swept through all the major alliance teams in the entire Aokigahara Forest like a storm.

A mysterious team possesses the power to control wild Grass-type Pokémon, and now, more than five teams have suffered as a result.

Originally, all the teams that understood the nature of the area were heading deeper into the center of the Aokigahara Forest, hoping to occupy a suitable position.

Now, under that mysterious threat, the teams of the various alliances have had to temporarily abandon their battles and form temporary alliances to fight against the mysterious black hand – the "Rebel Alliance"!

The second day of the selection competition, at 10 a.m.

Most teams didn't sleep well last night because a terrifying legion seemed tireless, constantly launching random attacks on some team.

After a whole night of commotion, the layout of the Aokigahara Forest has changed significantly.

The five teams led by the Thousand Islands Alliance, the South Korean Alliance, the Indian Alliance, the Korean Alliance, and the Divine Land Alliance can be considered strong contenders for the top five. Apart from the Sakura Country Alliance, which has not yet appeared, these five teams have the strongest overall strength.

Therefore, they each formed a small "Rebel Alliance," accepting the allegiance of some weaker alliances to fight the enemy together.

The five Georgians also temporarily stayed at the Goryeo Alliance headquarters.

Although the Korean Alliance initially did not believe their one-sided story, after both sides faced the terrifying, well-organized, and disciplined army of wild Grass-type Pokémon, the Korean Alliance had no choice but to extend an invitation to cooperate.

No single alliance team can possibly survive the legion's attack by fighting alone.

After the situation changed significantly, information began to circulate, and the rebel alliances led by the five major alliances each sent envoys to a neutral and safe area to discuss the matter of the Black Hand.

The negotiations lasted a long time, but ultimately ended in discord due to someone stirring up trouble.

However, they were also awakened to the fact that from this moment on, everyone had a consensus—the mastermind behind the wild Grass-type Pokémon army might be hiding among them.

Meanwhile, in the center of Aokigahara Forest, the Sakura Kingdom Alliance team, which had been resting for nearly two days, finally made a move.

Tachibana Mahiru looked at Zarude, who had been silent behind her, and said respectfully, "Senior Zarude, I've heard that you have the ability to summon wild Pokémon to a certain extent?"

This Zarude also possesses telepathy. In response to Tachibana Mahiru's question, it nodded slightly and said, "No problem. With the power of its aura, we can try to control a portion of it."

Tachibana Mahiru beamed with joy upon receiving the accurate answer. This meant they could conserve more energy and rely solely on Zarude and wild Pokémon to defeat the opposing teams.

The second day was already halfway over; it was time to set off on the hunt!

At this moment, Tachibana Mahiru was unaware that the entire landscape of the Aokigahara Forest had already undergone a complete transformation.

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

A street corner in Tokyo.

The young woman playing the role of Kazuma Ito, a disillusioned middle-aged man, has a strangely happy smile on her face. She walks briskly through the streets and alleys, and when she occasionally sees someone passing by, she will very enthusiastically invite them to stop for a moment to preach.

For the Interpol agent, although these people being proselytized are innocent, these necessary sacrifices must be made in order to delve deeper into the core of the Crescent Moon Church.

Moreover, once the problem of the Crescent Moon Cult is solved, all difficulties will be resolved.

After countless missionary attempts, the girl's phone suddenly vibrated a few times; it was a new message.

Open your phone and browse messages.

The girl's smile widened. The sender was her current superior, the Protector, and the message read: "...Return to the Crescent Moon Cult headquarters, the grand plan has begun."

Chapter 636 The Attack of the Sakura Kingdom Alliance

The afternoon of the second day of the selection competition.

One of the five major resistance alliances, the headquarters of the Shenzhou Alliance.

With the help of the elite forces of the various alliances, they managed to carve out a temporary camp in the perilous Aokigahara forest.

The central tent belonged to the Shenzhou Alliance, and at this moment only Su Hao and Jin Lin remained inside.

Although Jin Lin, as a logistics staff member, was overshadowed by Su Hao in many aspects, her professionalism should not be underestimated.

Her ability to unite elites from various alliances and accurately deploy them according to Su Hao's plan is enough to demonstrate her importance.

In addition to the backpack that looked like a four-dimensional pocket, Su Hao also had a shoulder bag.

The bag was enveloped in a dense waveguide force, strong enough to even affect signal propagation.

While planning her strategy on a map of power, Jin Lin glanced at Su Hao, who was meditating with Lucario and training his Aura, and her expression became somewhat complicated.

Possessing two special abilities, her Pokémon is also incredibly powerful, effortlessly creating high-quality Energy Cubes. Meeting such a teammate made her and the other three marvel at how incredibly lucky they had struck gold.

In the bag next to Su Hao, there were 28 score bracelets. This was the total number of score bracelets they had obtained after attacking seven alliances, leaving only the captain's bracelet to prevent them from being eliminated by the entire team.

With the addition of the 50 points already earned by the Shenzhou Alliance, their total implicit points have reached 320.

The Indian Alliance, currently at the top of the leaderboard, has only 130 points.

Early this morning, they discovered that the location signal was being displayed by a points-based wristband. If they couldn't block the wristband's signal, all their plans would be in vain.

Fortunately, Su Hao's abnormally strong waveguide could directly cover the shoulder bag, cutting off the location signal of the integrator bracelet.

Currently, Xiao Zijian, Cheng Liming, and Bai Linglong are leading the allied team to explore and guard the surrounding area. The plan is progressing very smoothly so far, and everyone has come to the realization that the "mastermind" is among us.
