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

She had never heard of such a person before.

Just as she stepped inside, lost in thought, a slightly amused voice rang out.

"Thank you for showing me the way. So you are from the R Research Institute, aren't you? And what about him? What is his relationship with you?"

Sophia's heart skipped a beat. She looked incredulously at Su Hao, who had appeared behind her at some unknown time, and screamed inwardly.

How is that possible! She clearly confirmed that there was no one hundreds of meters away before opening the door, so how did he follow her here?

Seeing Sophia's astonished expression, Su Hao knew what she was thinking. But instead of explaining to Sophia that his waveguide had been remotely tracking her, he simply tossed the unconscious Ian inside like a dead dog.

Sophia glanced at Ian, then said coldly without comment, "Who exactly are you?"

She couldn't understand how this person could be so certain that this was the R Research Institute, since the information should never have been leaked.

"You don't need to know."

With a snap of his fingers, Su Hao unleashed a torrent of Metagross's psychic power, instantly capturing Sophia's body and lifting her into the air, rendering her immobile.

Knowing she had completely failed and had become the guide for the mysterious man before her, Sofia was annoyed, but she didn't back down in her words: "I've failed, but you'll regret coming here too. You think you can be a hero with just your Pokémon?"

"That's none of your business."

Su Hao shook his head. Under his command, the Metagross's psychic power gradually increased, and then it slammed Sophia into a wall made of an unknown metal.

After a tremendous roar, the entire research institute lit up with red lights, and a piercing alarm sounded.

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

A little earlier, at the R Research Institute branch.

In this bright and clean research room, however, inhumane Pokémon experiments were being conducted.

This place disregards life and ethics, solely in pursuit of unraveling the mysteries contained within the intelligent creatures of Pokémon.

Of course, that was before the current head of the research institute's branch took over.

Today, only two types of experiments are being conducted at this branch of the R Institute; the rest of the projects have long since been moved out.

The analysis of Dynamax energy, and the genetic optimization and mechanical modification of the Gt series experimental subjects resurrected from fossils, are the two projects that constitute the entirety of this division's work today.

Charles stood with his hands behind his back, gazing thoughtfully at the three purple mechanical Pokémon that were waiting in front of him.

More than a decade has passed since he took over this person's identity and spearheaded the British League's research into Dynamax, thereby rapidly elevating the status of that person.

He had long forgotten his original name; now he was Charles, and Charles was him.

As for Ian, he was just the son of the original owner of this identity and had nothing to do with me. I had no feelings for him either, so I just let him do whatever he wanted, which made things easier for me.

However, recently that kid has had some incredible luck, running into Gt series test subjects several times, and once even accidentally stumbling upon one of the research institute's passageways.

Left with no other choice, I had to perform a memory erasure procedure on him, which had some "side effects" and might cause irreversible damage to his brain and intelligence, but there was nothing I could do about it.

All he needed was for Ian to live and be able to conceal his identity; whether Ian was mentally challenged or not made no difference to him.

"The analysis of Dynamax has been packaged and sent to headquarters. Although the Great Britain Alliance is far from making perfect use of Dynamax, it has suffered a crushing defeat in public to that kid named Su Hao and Mega Evolution."

"But the Dominic Corporation, which I control, has been established here for a long time. All the experimental subjects have been moved out, leaving only the GT series experimental subjects entrusted to us for research by headquarters, the ancient insect-type Pokémon scientifically known as Genesect..."

Charles was thrilled. Finally, having completed his mission, he could return to the headquarters, a place whose memory had become hazy, and leave behind these tedious matters to devote himself solely to his research.

In a few days, all that's left is to wait for Mr. R's people to arrive. Although there has been no breakthrough in the modification and debugging of Genesect and the like, a cartridge that can help them convert the attributes of high-tech beam cannons has been developed into a semi-finished product.

With this achievement, I should be able to lead at least one laboratory when I return to the main research institute.

----------

Chapter 719 Unleashed!

Thinking of this, Charles looked at the researchers behind him who were destroying data and urged them in a cold voice: "Hurry up, if the British Alliance finds any of the data, not only you, but I will be finished too."

The researchers, who had been engrossed in their work, paused for a moment, then resumed their work with even greater speed.

Charles was about to turn around and check on the other laboratories when suddenly a loud bang came from a distance. Charles froze, looking somewhat confused, thinking that there had been an accident in one of the laboratories.

But then a piercing alarm blared, and some researchers outside shouted that there were intruders. Charles then realized that the research institute, which had been hidden in the mountains for many years, had actually encountered an intrusion for the first time, apart from Ian's blunder!

Charles shoved aside the panicked researchers, quickly pulled up the surveillance footage of the corridor, and then froze.

The gate to area b-1 has just been opened; it's Sofia's access card.

To save himself some trouble, Charles disguised Sophia, one of the security guards at the research institute, as a newly hired bodyguard and had her follow Ian, lest this unfortunate child, whose intelligence had already deteriorated, cause any more trouble.

He even specially lent her the weakest Genesect in the GT series, and gave her a half-finished cartridge. Could it be that Ian is up to something again?

Charles frowned, pulled up the surveillance footage of the B-1 corridor, and then his expression froze.

Ian was thrown to the ground like a dead dog, while Sophia was blasted into the wall by some force, her fate unknown.

At this point, Charles realized that something seemed wrong, and his fingers quickly typed on the keyboard, bringing up the surveillance footage from several corridors.

Charles fell silent when he saw the unremarkable-looking adult man, a native Briton, commanding a Leafeon to easily defeat the guards and stun the researchers.

What exactly is going on with this person?

I have no recollection of that face, but that Yeezy is incredibly powerful; it could take down any guards that surrounded it with a single move.

It seems the research institute's current security measures are insufficient to handle this person, so...

Charles looked at the three Genesects in the petri dish behind him, his eyes instantly turning cold. He said softly, "Genesects, the ancient Bug-type Pokémon nicknamed 'World Destroyer Bugs,' have been somewhat weakened by mechanical modifications, but you have adapted to the environment of this world and have also obtained this cannon with extremely strong offensive capabilities."

"Come on, show me your strength!"

After saying this, Charles began to awaken and activate the Genesis.

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

"Bastards!" "Damn it, don't underestimate us!" "Die!"

Amidst the smoke and fire, shouts, curses, and exasperated cries echoed continuously. The security guards inside the research institute were firing their guns until they were smoking, but they still couldn't break through the mental defenses of the silver-white giant monster.

The bullets they were carrying were clearly designed to destroy energy. Unless a Pokémon reached the level of an Elite Four member with near-materialized mental power, it would be impossible for them to stop the bullets.

But this Metagross, whose aura was only at the professional level, managed to do it, which shows that its mental power was so dense that it was almost materialized!

If that were all, the security guards wouldn't have cursed, but their Pokémon were also dealt with as easily as cutting melons and vegetables by that small Yeevee that exuded a strong sense of sharpness.

With just those two Pokémon, that person managed to fight his way in and is almost at Minister Charles's research lab!

Contrary to the security guards' expectations, Su Hao, who was using waveguides to oversee the overall situation, was not strolling around leisurely. Instead, his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was pondering something.

After breaking into the research institute some time ago, Su Hao felt that something was wrong, very wrong.

First of all, he had already confirmed along the way that this was definitely a branch of the R Research Institute. Just from the paper documents he had snatched from those researchers, he had already seen countless shocking experimental data and processes.

Inhuman and worse than animals are not enough to describe R-Research.

The evil deeds committed by this group at the research institute—this seemingly glamorous and bright research institute has buried countless innocent Pokémon, and no one knows the torture they suffered here before their deaths, and even their remains were exploited.

Such an evil path, even without Ye Yibu's hatred, he would surely kill it.

Although he didn't see any test subjects along the way, Su Hao managed to get the specific reason from the researchers: the research institute had completed an important mission and was about to be abandoned, and the test subjects had been moved away several months ago.

Aside from their firearms, the security team had very few Gym Leader level Pokémon. They could easily defeat the enemy with Yeevee, and Milotic and the others didn't even need to fight.

Recalling that the Genesect in Sophia was not the same as the Genesect he encountered when he went to the Mineral Kingdom, Su Hao had a gut feeling that there were probably multiple Genesects here, and perhaps even some with the power of a King-level warrior.

If that's really the case, without Diancie present, the only ones who could probably rival her are Mega Lucario and... Reshiram.

His thoughts did not affect Su Hao's actions. After defeating another wave of security forces, he saw the laboratory at the end of the road, and... a slightly familiar-looking man and three Genosects quietly hovering behind him!

Su Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly finding the man's name and identity from his memory, and said calmly, "Charles, I didn't expect you to be from the R Research Institute."

The man before me was Charles Dominic, the owner of the Dominic Company, and also the father of Ian Dominic.

It's no joke that the owner of Dominic, a company that has a deep partnership with the British Alliance, is actually from the R Institute.

While researching Dominic Company online, he also saw the press conference held by the British Alliance, where Charles appeared as a person who made outstanding contributions to the Gigantamax controllable project.

Dominic Corporation even monopolized the mining of minerals and the extraction of super-energy within the Great Britain Union.

Charles spread his hands and said coldly, "Hello, intruder. Although I don't know who you are, your nonsense ends here."

Su Hao's gaze fell on the three Genosects behind Charles: two early-stage Elite Four level and one mid-stage Elite Four level.

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

Chapter 720 The Blue Flame

Three cannons, gleaming with a cold light, were aimed at Su Hao, each containing a massive amount of compressed energy: scorching flames, surging water, and violent lightning.

Clearly, Charles loaded the Flame, Water, and Lightning cards into the Genesects' card slots after activating Genesect, going all out from the start.

For a non-combatant like him, delaying would only cause the situation to spiral out of control. Having been an undercover agent in the Great Britain Alliance for so long, he wasn't stupid enough to challenge the expertise of those trainers with his ignorance.

He remembered a saying from the Shenzhou Alliance: "The villain dies from talking too much."

Charles, fully aware of what he was doing, did not intend to press the nameless man before him about his purpose or how he found the research institute.

Once you unleash your full power from the start and obliterate your opponent, nothing else matters. This research institute is about to be abandoned, and he will return to headquarters to continue his research. For the sake of the grand plan, Mr. R will handle everything else.

Because he transmitted to Mr. R all the Dynamax energy and Dynamax data that the Great Britain Alliance had been researching for countless years, as well as the enormous Dynamax energy he had secretly hoarded by using his useful identity as the owner of Dominic's Company.

He still has value to be used, and the other party won't care about some minor details.
