Chapter 140 Goal
Cynthia nodded, then turned around, opened a drawer in a nearby cabinet, took out a few golden candy wrappers, and placed them in front of Cattleya.

The magic candy was so effective that she didn't even want to throw away the wrappers.

Under normal circumstances, powerful Ghost-type Pokémon like Rockruff don't need to eat solid food; instead, they grow by absorbing energy from special items. This makes their growth process much more difficult compared to other Pokémon.

But the Flower Rock Monster swallowed the candy without hesitation the moment it found it, leaving only a few pieces of the wrapper. This shows just how tempting the candy was to the Flower Rock Monster.

When Gadriya took the candy wrapper from Cynthia, she immediately sensed the special power remaining on the paper.

For a moment, she stood there, a look she had never seen before on her face, as if she didn't know what to say.

After all, as a champion trainer, it's still hard to understand and accept such a thing.

A moment later, she slightly raised her hand, and the candy wrapper, accompanied by a faint blue light, fell back in front of Cynthia.

"Let's just assume that what you're saying is true, Sister Zhulan."

"Since that's the case... why didn't you share such a big thing with me when we were playing the game?"

Cynthia paused for a moment upon hearing this, then shook her head.

"Actually, when I first came across this game, I was just curious about the identity of the game's creator because Rayquaza appeared in the game."

"But when I discovered that this game actually provides items that can be directly applied to real life and boost Pokémon's strength, I immediately shared this news in the group. Didn't you see it?"

Upon hearing this, Gadriya's face immediately showed a playful expression, and she frowned.

"You mean that rabble's group chat?"

Seeing her like this, Cynthia suddenly remembered something: given Cattleya's personality, she might not be willing to associate with most of the Elite Four members and Champions.

Therefore, Gadriya was not in the group chat that gathered the champions from various regions, and had no idea that she had said such a thing.

To be honest, this was entirely her own oversight...

Cynthia wanted to say something, but Gadriya closed her eyes, as if sensing something, and then looked directly towards the study.

"I'd like to see what this game you're talking about is all about."

"Wait a moment……"

Cynthia had already realized what the other was about to do. She had barely spoken when Gadriya vanished from her spot—clearly, she had used teleportation to enter the study. The next moment, a heavy thud echoed from inside the study.

Following this was Cynthia's next sentence:
"The study... is not finished yet."

……

Two minutes later, Cattleya shook her head, looking disheveled. A deep blue light gathered and appeared on her body, cleaning her dusty, tattered clothes.

But her face was still very dark.

Who would have thought that there was a hole in Zhulan's study that was bigger than the room itself...

Before I could even react, I fell headfirst to the bottom.

But there are definitely more important things to do now.

"This is the game; you can give it a try."

Gadria's gaze fell on the computer screen, on the icon called "Pokémon Emerald," and she used her telekinesis to click on it.

Meanwhile, standing next to her, Cynthia suddenly thought of another problem: after receiving the game's rewards three days ago, she immediately sent news about the game to the Champions group.

Later, I was busy completing the game, and then the archaeological team ran into problems. I was unconscious for another day and hadn't seen the group chat for a long time.

It was only when I mentioned this to Cattleya that she remembered there was such a thing.

So how many people in the group believed what she said, and how many have already started playing the game? Thinking this, she took out her phone and entered the group chat that she hadn't opened in a long time, and the situation inside was completely beyond her expectations.

Shellder: Where are you guys at? I've already beaten the Fighting-type Gym.
Dragon-type Saiko: I'm currently ranked third on the leaderboard, and I'm about to beat the Flying Gym, haha!

Deep in the mountains, I'm studying hard: To be honest, this game has made me almost reluctant to go back to the mountains for further studies. Why is there no internet in the mountains?
This one isn't too cold: (Image) Has anyone seen this Pokémon?

……

Some of the Elite Four members and Champions that Cynthia knows have already started sharing things about Pokémon Emerald in the group, including pictures of them playing the game.

Clearly, not every champion and star player in the group chat has started playing the game. A small group of people who aren't interested in the game itself, and some who aren't familiar with Cynthia, haven't joined in.

Even given Cynthia's status and how well she's known to everyone, there's no doubt that most people would believe her to some extent. Even with her outlandish claims, some people still chose to play the game.

And by playing it, they first experienced the unique features of the game, which naturally led to the scene they just witnessed.

However, no one seemed to take the reward that Cynthia mentioned seriously.

Seeing this scene, Cynthia felt a mix of emotions.

After discovering that she had obtained a Mega Evolution Stone, Cynthia's first thought was to share with everyone in the group that "it is possible to obtain this level of reward in the game and improve the strength of Pokémon".

But now she suddenly realized that even with her status, if she didn't demonstrate that power of evolution in front of everyone, probably no one would believe such a bizarre thing.

And now the problem is even bigger. If the magical candy before only amazed her,
The appearance of Mega Stones and Mega Evolution will cause a sensation throughout society and may even completely change the landscape of the world and the Pokémon League!

This is no longer just about him or these champions... it's about the whole world!

While Cynthia was deep in thought, Gadria, who was beside her, acted very quickly, having already opened Pokémon Emerald and played for a while. Then she turned around and nodded to Cynthia.

"Although I don't play games much, the graphics of this game seem pretty good, but is it really as amazing as you say?" "Hey, are you worried about the consequences and impact this game might have?"

Having spent so much time with Cynthia, Gadriya could easily discern what she was thinking. Cynthia nodded in silent affirmation.

But the next moment, Gadriya suddenly sneered.

"After all these years, Sister Zhulan, you're still the same. You always value other people's affairs more than your own."

"I ask you, since no matter what you do, when the true nature of this game is revealed to everyone, it will inevitably change the landscape of this world, and that is unchangeable."

She pointed to the game screen. "In that case, what you need to do is maintain your advantageous position as much as possible before this game is shown to everyone. Isn't that right?"

"Don't forget, we're not the only ones who can play this game."

Her voice suddenly turned cold, and Cynthia seemed to be awakened by a heavy hammer, snapping back to her senses.

Yes, if the rewards of this game can make every trainer's strength improve by leaps and bounds, then the most crucial point is not the change this game will bring to the world order, but those hidden in the shadows—if they obtain the rewards in this game and greatly improve their strength, what will happen next?
Her gaze instantly turned serious, and her mind became incredibly clear as she figured out what she should do next.

As Cattleya said, relying on this game to improve one's strength is more important than any other consideration.

……

Seeing Cynthia's sudden realization, Gadriya chuckled again, stood up from her desk, and offered her her seat. "Since you've figured it out, good luck. I'm going back now."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing." She pointed to a large hole in the floor next to her. "Remember to fix this thing. Don't forget, this is my house."

After saying that, accompanied by a flash of light, Cattleya's figure disappeared into thin air without a trace.

Only the soft sound of Cynthia's fingertips tapping on the mouse and keyboard echoed in the room.

She embarked on her quest for emeralds once more, and this time... she was truly going all out!

……

However, what Cynthia didn't know was that, at the same time, thousands of miles away in the Kanto region, beside a tranquil and clear blue lake, stood a wooden villa.

Inside the small house, a boy wearing a Poké Ball-themed baseball cap and sporting short, bright red hair stood before a wooden table, handing a bowl of prepared Pokémon food to the Pokémon beside him. It was a robust Pokémon with a dazzling flame burning on its tail, radiating a powerful aura.

This was clearly a fire-breathing dragon.

Moreover, this kind of temperament is comparable to Cynthia's Garchomp and the Rockruff that ate the Rare Candy.

If someone were standing in the cabin right now, they would naturally recognize the boy's identity—he is none other than Red, the legendary trainer of the Kanto region and the youngest official champion in the world!

He embarked on his journey at the age of 10 and became the champion of the entire Kanto region at the age of 16, a remarkable and irreplaceable achievement in the history of trainers.

At this very moment, he is on vacation by a secluded lake in the Kanto region.

"You've been really busy lately, buddy. You've had a tough time."

As he spoke, Red patted the Charizard beside him, which was none other than his starter Pokémon and the strongest ace in his team.

Upon hearing this, the Charizard didn't make a sound, but nodded, quickly finished eating what was in front of it, and then quietly got up, spread its wings, and left the hut.

Red watched his partner's departing figure and sighed softly. He knew, of course, that his partner had gone to training again; even on his days off, Charizard never slacked off.

This is certainly not a bad thing, but it is not entirely true for Crimson.

Because his Charizard had already reached the top level of champion, even with years of training and constantly raising his own standards, its strength had not made any significant progress.

At first, Charizard's training had some effect; it could refine the energy within its body and thoroughly master some unfamiliar moves.

However, as time went on, this training became increasingly meaningless, only maintaining Charizard's current state. The results were clearly not worth the effort.

Red saw all of this, but to be honest, even he, who was known as a legendary trainer, couldn't do anything about it.

I have tried using resources and many other methods, but I have been unable to achieve a breakthrough and reach a higher level... but without exception, I have failed.

It seems that the legendary realm above the champion level is an insurmountable barrier that ordinary people cannot reach, a level that mortals and ordinary Pokémon cannot achieve.

Thinking of this, Crimson shook his head slightly. Even though he realized there were many difficulties, his companions had been working hard to break through to new levels, so as a trainer, he naturally had no reason to give up.

With that thought in mind, he casually broke off a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, leaned back in his recliner, took out his laptop and placed it in front of him, and began to continue his research for the day.

Before this, Chi Hong was not used to going online.

Playing games and engaging in battles... is just a hobby for him, a substitute for real combat when he can't engage in actual fighting.

But later he heard from others that the knowledge on the Internet was quite vast, and that he might be able to find some solutions to problems, or even things related to legendary realms.

However, his recent online discoveries have left him somewhat disappointed. All that information about the legendary realm turns out to be nothing more than rumors and legends, offering no real help whatsoever.

Some training methods and content posted by others are so funny that he can't help but laugh just by glancing at them.

Therefore, Crimson didn't have high hopes today; he didn't think he could find anything good online.

He was almost ready to give up on this idea.

But just then, the contents of a message caught his eye and drew his attention.

".Um?"
