Chapter 240 The Power of Dreams, Multiple Characteristics! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Mo Zhen looked at the blond face on the screen with reflective glasses and a wicked smile. Instead of showing any panic, he calmed down completely.

"Hey, isn't this Dr. Akromma? Haven't seen you for a few days, what's gotten into you? Now you can only hide behind the screen and spout tough talk?"

The appearance of the other party indirectly confirmed that this was indeed the production base for Mengzi cigarette raw materials, saving them the trouble of further verification.

A-Du's face immediately darkened, and his eyes under his red hair began to look serious.

The handsome man's report contained information about this blond-haired, bespectacled man.

[This man is suspected to be the developer of the core technology for Mengzi cigarettes and is extremely dangerous.]

He took a sudden step forward, stood before Dr. Makomo, and spoke with an unquestionable air of authority.

"Dr. Makomo, it seems that your so-called 'Dreamweaver Laboratory' is actually a shady factory used by Akromar to extract and process the core raw materials of Dream Cigarettes on a large scale! Am I right?"

Dr. Makomo was so frightened by Wataru's imposing manner that he retreated repeatedly, his back pressed against the cold instrument, his face as pale as paper.

She waved her arms frantically, her eyes filled with terror and disbelief behind her thick glasses.

"No...that's not it! I...I don't know anything about what you're talking about! Mr. Akroma was just...just interested in my 'Dream Particle' theory and provided funding! Our data exchange was purely academic collaboration! Dream Smoke? What's that? I have no idea what you're talking about!"

Akroma on the screen let out a gleeful laugh, completely ignoring Makoko's explanations and Awata's accusations.

He pushed up his reflective glasses, his gaze fixed on Mo Zhen, a fanatical smile curving his lips.

[Hahaha, everything else is irrelevant now. Today I'll show you just how amazing my research truly is! Let's get started and demonstrate the power of science!]

As Akroma finished speaking, the eyes of the two researchers, a man and a woman, who had been standing silently in the shadows of the corner of the laboratory, instantly became incredibly sharp.

They pulled out their Poké Balls in perfect unison and threw them with all their might!
"Come out, Gear Monster!"

"Your turn, Mengmengshi!"

Two cold voices rang out simultaneously.

A burst of white light! A mechanical sprite—the Gear Monster—composed of interlocking, enormous silver gears and crackling with blue electricity, floated in the air.

Its heavy metal body vibrated, making the air hum, and its cold red electronic eyes instantly locked onto the target. The gears spun at high speed, emitting a piercing metallic friction sound.

The other one was much more bizarre, its body resembling a huge, round sow, silently floating in mid-air, with wisps of pinkish-purple smoke rising from its head, carrying a sweet, drowsy scent.

This thing is the evolved form of Dream Eater, Dream Eater!

The moment these two elves appeared, a terrifying pressure far exceeding that of all their previous opponents spread out as if it were a tangible force!
The electric arcs pulsating on the Gear Monster were incredibly intense, ionizing the air and giving it the smell of ozone; the mental fluctuations around Dream Eater were like a deep pool, as if a person's soul would be sucked in with just a glance.

Their levels were all over level 50, far surpassing those previous small fry!
Dr. Makomo was completely stunned, his mouth agape wide enough to fit a grapefruit.

“Sebastian? Christina?! You…you elves…how could you be so strong?! You’ve worked for me for two years…I always thought…”

The male researcher, Sebastian, was expressionless, his voice as cold as a machine.

"Dr. Makomo, thank you for sharing your technology so generously. Without your pure trust, we could not have completed Lord Akromma's task so smoothly—to thoroughly analyze and master the extraction and conversion technology of 'Dream Particles'."

The female researcher, Christina, added with a stiff smile.

"Your naiveté is a key element in the plan's success."

Dr. Makomo was struck dumb, her body swayed, and she barely managed to stay upright by leaning against the equipment.

She stared at the two familiar yet unfamiliar faces before her, then at Akromah's mocking smile on the screen. The immense shock left her mind blank, and she could only utter unconscious murmurs.

"How could...how could this have happened..."

In the instant that Makomo was lost in thought, Luca's blue pupils suddenly contracted!
It keenly sensed the rapidly surging electrical energy gathering on the gear monster, and the deadly threat made its fur stand on end!

"snore!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Luca let out a low shout and used [Shave]. He left only a faint blue afterimage in place, and his true form appeared instantly in front of the Gear Monster's huge metal body, like a blue lightning bolt tearing through space!
The pitch-black Armament Haki instantly covered the iron elbow, carrying the will to shatter steel, and slammed it hard into the core drive gear of the Gear Monster, which was its vital point!
However, just as Luca's iron elbow, wreathed in dark, imposing energy, was about to strike its target...

Om-!
An invisible yet powerful shockwave of superpowers, like a giant python that had been lurking for a long time, struck with perfect precision from the side!

This super-powered shockwave was completely countered by Luca in terms of its attributes; it was Momoshiki, who was hovering to the side, who made the move!
Its attacks seemed to predict the future, with the timing and angles being incredibly precise, perfectly anticipating Luca's location.

boom!
Caught off guard, Luca was hit in the middle like a speeding dump truck. His Armament Haki collapsed instantly due to the huge disadvantage of the elemental advantage!
It let out a painful groan, and its blue figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the alloy wall in the distance, unable to get up for a moment!
"Ugh! Blue-skinned dog!"

Seeing Luca severely injured in an instant, Xiao Huolong unleashed his Burning Technique fighting spirit.

It burst into action, its massive body like an angry tank, ready to charge forward and provide support.

Sizzle——!
But what awaited it was the Gear Monster's long-awaited [Electric Discharge]!
Countless thick, azure lightning bolts erupted from the Gear Monster's body, instantly weaving into a devastating electric net that completely enveloped the charging Xiao Huolong!

"Aaaaaaahh ...

The Gear Monster's attack power was beyond imagination. Xiao Huolong let out a shrill scream as his crimson-gold battle qi robe was torn apart instantly like paper!

A powerful electric current surged through its entire body, causing its massive form to convulse violently. Paralyzed by the current, it collapsed to its knees, unable to get up!

In just one exchange, Mo Zhenfang's two main forces—Luca and Xiao Huolong—were both instantly killed!

Only the crackling of electricity and the unsettling pinkish-purple smoke of Mengmengshi remained in the laboratory.

[Hahahaha! Did you see that? Little Zhenzhen! This is the perfect result of my [Dream Power Project]! Did you know that each race of elves possesses more than one [trait]? All elves have multiple potential traits, but each individual can only express one of them...]

On the screen, Akromar burst into triumphant, maniacal laughter, his eyes behind his glasses gleaming with the morbid excitement characteristic of a mad scientist. [But under my guidance, those Pokémon can unleash all their potential [Abilities], becoming fully evolved forms with multiple [Abilities]! Not just these two Pokémon, but also the Toad King in the Liyong Warehouse—they're all my creations!]

His voice was filled with an arrogant disdain for everything and an expectation of Mo Zhen's reaction.

Mo Zhen narrowed his eyes and used Xiao Mengzi's Pokédex to instantly see through the details of that Gear Monster.

He clearly sensed two opposing yet mutually stimulating electrical currents within the Gear Monster's body.

That's right, this gear monster possesses both positive and negative electrical properties!
The [Positive Charge] trait increases attack power when an ally has the [Negative Charge] trait.

The [Negative Electricity] trait increases attack power when an ally has the [Negative Electricity] trait.

The Gear Monster, possessing both of these characteristics, has an electric current circulating perfectly within its body like a yin-yang symbol, like a perpetual motion machine, constantly accumulating power by stepping on its right foot with its left!

This made its attack power reach an extremely terrifying level, easily taking down Xiao Huolong, who was protected by a battle qi veil!

Dream Erosion, on the other hand, possesses both the characteristics of [precognitive dreams] and [telepathy].

【Precognitive Dreams】 allow you to see the enemy's moves, while 【Telepathy】 allows you to predict the enemy's attacks.

The combination of the two made Luca's lightning-fast "Shave" impossible to hide, as it was easily predicted and precisely intercepted!

The languid look on Mo Zhen's face finally disappeared, and her brows furrowed tightly for the first time.

He originally thought that the dream cigarettes that Akroma produced could only let losers like Gongping indulge in their fantasies about their goddesses.

I never expected that this knock-off would even have their ability to develop Pokémon abilities, that's incredible!
Mo Zhen vaguely remembered that there were certain combinations of Pokémon traits that, if combined, could supposedly create a world-destroying force...

Meanwhile, Xiao Mengzi, who had been hiding on Mo Zhen's head, was extremely angry and furious, letting out a loud pig-like squeal.

【Ughh ...

The situation was urgent, and Mo Zhen didn't have time to deal with Xiao Mengzi, this nonsensical thing.

He suddenly turned his head and yelled at Adu, who was still posing next to him.

"Hey! Dodo! Are you still posing here?! Stop hiding! I know you have a backup plan! Hurry up and summon your Dragonite, or that red Gyarados with triple speed, or Charizard will do. Get to work!"

Adu was taken aback by Mo Zhen's shout, then a slightly smug smile appeared on her face as she casually tossed her red hair across her forehead.

"Oh? I didn't expect Master Mo Zhen to know me so well? He even knows my main lineup like the back of his hand? It seems my charm is indeed irresistible, forcing you to take notice of my existence..."

He changed the subject, shrugged, and gave a helpless look.

"Unfortunately, those guys at the United States Customs, citing the need to prevent invasive species, kept all my old buddies out of the country..."

Seeing the Dodo bird's unreliable behavior, Mo Zhen immediately became extremely angry and roared in fury.

"Are you kidding me?! You didn't bring any Pokémon, did you come to Unova for tourism?! You're not hoping your Interpol ID will help you arrest criminals, are you?"

Faced with Mo Zhen's fury, A Du smiled mysteriously and held up one finger.

"Master Mo Zhen, please calm down. As an experienced Interpol agent, I certainly won't put all my eggs in one basket."

As he spoke, he patted the inside of his flamboyant red cloak.

"Although my main force was taken away, I still have a trump card up my sleeve! It's a secret weapon that I painstakingly hid in an absolutely unexpected place to successfully bring in!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhen's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had grasped a lifeline, and she eagerly pressed for more information.

"It's Fatty, right?! I knew you couldn't possibly be without some trump cards! Fatty's great, a late bloomer, tough as nails, his dragon dance is devastating!"

Mo Zhen could almost see a giant Xiao Huolong with wings sweeping across the entire arena.

With Lance's Champion-level strength, his Dragonite level absolutely crushes all the Pokémon present. In theory, he should be able to easily defeat these two level 50+ dual-ability Pokémon!

Under Mo Zhen's expectant gaze, A Du smiled confidently, gracefully pulled out a Poké Ball, and threw it forcefully.

"I choose you! Show me the power of the sky's ruler!"

"Roar--!!!"

A roar filled with the aura of ancient savagery resounded throughout the laboratory. The white light dissipated, and a huge figure was suspended in mid-air!
Mo Zhen's expectant gaze froze instantly. The other party was indeed a Flying-type, and it was indeed a "Dragon," but it wasn't a Dragonite, but rather... an Aerodactyl!
Upon seeing this fossil pterosaur, which was only around level 50, Mo Zhen was so angry that he trembled all over.

"Holy crap, a Dodo bird! This is your secret weapon?! You brought such a cheap, scrap item to compete in the Baby Cup?!"

A-Du shrugged helplessly and explained.

“Master Mo Zhen, you don’t understand. Although my fossil pterosaur isn’t top-tier, it has an unparalleled advantage—its nose isn’t very sensitive! The other guys are too fussy and unwilling to cooperate with my infiltration plan, so I had no choice but to bring it along…”

On the screen, Akroma watched Mo Zhen and Adu's flirtatious interaction, especially Adu's flashy red cloak and the way he kept getting close to Mo Zhen. His eyes behind his glasses instantly darkened, and he coldly gave orders into the communicator.

[Sebastian, Christina, take care of that red-haired man in the cloak first! Now! Immediately!]

Upon hearing Akroma's command, Adu laughed instead of getting angry.

He ripped off his flamboyant red cloak, tossed it aside, and his face radiated boundless confidence.

"Hey kid, step back a bit, leave this to me! Dealing with this kind of guy... ten seconds will be enough!"
