Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 156 Mutant Eevee, Containment Breached! (4k)

boom! ! ! ! !
A deafening explosion, mixed with scorching and acrid air, suddenly erupted from the deepest part of the tunnel, instantly filling the screen in front of Du's eyes with blinding red light and swirling dust!
In reality, he was so startled by the sudden and violent impact that he instinctively leaned back, almost dropping the mouse he was holding—although it was pixelated, the game's experience felt incredibly realistic.

"careful!"

In the game, the character "Watari," wearing the iconic red cape, reacted with astonishing speed. With a short but powerful shout, he suddenly slammed the character he was controlling to a safe corner, narrowly avoiding the most violent shockwave from the center of the explosion and the high-speed metal fragments flying everywhere.

His red cloak was violently lifted by the raging gust of air, making a loud rustling sound behind him.

Watari's heart pounded violently in his chest. Once the image on the screen stabilized, the character quickly stood up.

At this moment, the interior of the passage was a complete mess. The already dim lights flickered even more erratically, as if they might go out at any moment. The air seemed to be filled with dense dust composed of countless gray pixel particles, making visibility extremely poor.

"What's going on?!" Reality Ferry couldn't help but blurt out, his voice tinged with wariness.

"It's a trap... or some kind of self-destructive defense mechanism has been accidentally triggered."

In the game, "Du" also quickly stood up, his sharp eyes scanning the messy surroundings, his face filled with vigilance and solemnity.

"It seems we've inadvertently touched upon some core areas they absolutely don't want outsiders to discover. However, the passage doesn't appear to be completely blocked; keep going down, and the answer should be below."

He pointed to a section of metal staircase exposed after the explosion, which led into the deeper darkness below.

Without the slightest hesitation, Reality Crossing immediately and cautiously followed up with his character.

The surrounding environment became even more oppressive and terrifying. The broken pipes hissed and leaked unknown, eerie liquids or gases, and the charred explosion marks and deep claw marks on the walls became increasingly dense and menacing.

Just as they were maintaining a high level of tension and delving deeper into a relatively intact circular experimental area, a maniacal, twisted, and chilling laugh suddenly rang out, violently shattering the suffocating silence.

"Hehe... Hahahaha... A new experimental subject! A fresh experimental subject that came to us willingly!"

The figure staggered out from behind a large, severely overturned piece of equipment.

He was wearing a filthy white lab coat stained with unidentified dirt, his eyes were unfocused yet filled with fanaticism, and his hair was greasy and messy like weeds—he was a researcher who had gone mad!
He was waving a broken syringe, drool dripping uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth, looking both ridiculous and terrifying.

"Perfect... perfect vessel! It can definitely withstand the great power of 'Twilight'! Much stronger than that unstable and failed Eevee!"

Reality Crossing frowned deeply, a strong sense of disgust welling up inside him. This kind of person didn't deserve to be called a researcher at all; he was a complete madman.

In the game, "Lance" stepped forward without hesitation, shielding Lance's character slightly behind him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Remnants of Team Rocket? Stop your insane behavior immediately!"

"Madness? No! This is evolution! It's a sacred dedication to a new world!" the researcher screamed hysterically, waving his hand violently as if directing an evil ritual. "Come on! My dear darlings! Let these ignorant fools see... see the beginnings of our great power!"

From the shadows, a Pokémon slowly and stiffly emerged.

That was actually... an Eevee?!
But it's not a normal, cute Eevee.

Its fur was dull and lifeless, interspersed with large, unnatural gray patches, and its eyes were filled with unspeakable, immense pain.

The energy field around its body is extremely unstable, and illusory images of water, fire, thunder and other different evolutionary forms flash and alternate rapidly on its body, like a television with a poor signal.

The next moment, his scarlet eyes locked onto the direction of Du!
Team Rocket researcher Giger wants to fight!

[A mutated Eevee has been dispatched!]

The black screen instantly switches to the battle interface!
The left and right sides of the screen display the character portraits of the two opposing sides, while the background is the dilapidated laboratory ruins.

"What exactly is this?"

Reality clicked his tongue and quickly and accurately selected a Pokémon from his team—Gyarados, currently the strongest Pokémon in the game.

At almost the same time, Lance unhesitatingly sent out his trusted Dragonite.

This match looks like a two-on-one doubles game!
"It's no use! It's no use! Eevee, show them what the possibility of perfect evolution is! Use Hydro Pump!" the researcher ordered frantically and chaotically.

[The mutant Eevee used Water Gun!]

The animation effect appeared immediately, and an exceptionally thick jet of high-pressure water slammed into Dragonite.

However, just as the water cannon was about to hit, the attribute phantom on Eevee's body began to flicker and change rapidly. Its attribute seemed to have undergone an unpredictable change, but the move had already been executed according to the command and could not be taken back.

[The results are minimal! ]

Despite the minimal effect, Dragonite's HP bar dropped by half! This strange situation clearly caught Lance's attention.

"This guy"

A message appeared above Watari's dialogue box in the game, and his expression became extremely serious.

"Gyarados, use Crunch!"

In reality, Wataru immediately controlled Gyarados to launch an attack, however—

[The mutant Eevee's genetic disorder has activated!]

[The mutated Eevee dodged the attack!]

[The mutated Eevee has become an Electric-type!]

As the text prompt popped up, Eevee's phantom form briefly stabilized in the shape of Jolteon, but its real body was still trembling slightly due to pain.

Seeing this, the researcher laughed even more triumphantly: "Useless! Your attack is futile! Ibu, now's the time, use Thunder!"

[The mutant Eevee used Thunder!]

【Excellent effect! 】

A dazzling golden light flashed, and Gyarados let out a painful scream as its massive body crashed to the ground, its HP instantly reduced to zero, rendering it unable to battle.

"What?!" In reality, Lance was completely stunned. This Eevee not only had an unpredictable type switching pattern, but the power of its moves was also astonishing, completely exceeding the norm!
"Watch out, its type seems to have changed again!" Yugi warned in time. His Dragonite immediately followed up with a fierce Dragon Breath, but Eevee mysteriously switched to Fairy type just before the move hit, making it immune to the damage from the Dragon-type move.

The battle instantly turned into a desperate and agonizing tug-of-war—no matter how the two commanders directed their attacks, Eevee's completely random and highly prioritized form switching would cleverly deflect their offensives each time, and then instantly annihilate their Pokémon with its incredibly effective moves. Dragonite, Gyarados, Arcanine… one Pokémon after another fell!

In the battle, the skill effects were dazzling yet deadly. Under the relentless onslaught, the HP bars of both Lance's Pokémon were rapidly decreasing at a visible speed.

"This Eevee... has been modified far too much! Its life is being devoured by this power!"

The voice of Yugi Watari came through, carrying an unprecedented heaviness and solemnity.

Reality was filled with cold sweat. He could even feel the immense pain that the mutated Eevee was enduring through the screen, as well as the violent energy that was forcibly distorted, uncontrollable, and could only be vented wantonly.

This feeling of powerlessness and anger in the face of everything is probably even stronger than the pressure of actually facing a legendary Pokémon!
Just as their last Pokémon was on the verge of collapse, researcher Giger let out a triumphant, maniacal laugh and issued the final command:
"Enough! Ibrahimovic, even if it costs you all your life energy, take them down completely! This is the final order!"

The next instant, the mutated Eevee that had been emitting painful groans suddenly stopped all movement in the scene.

Its body began to tremble violently and completely uncontrollably, and all the phantoms around it—the azure radiance of water, the scorching heat of fire, the violent current of lightning—exploded simultaneously at an unprecedented intensity!
Its body was swallowed by an extremely chaotic, multicolored, and dizzying energy vortex, emitting a blindingly bright light that was impossible to look at directly!

"Woohoooo ...

A stomping sound, filled with endless pain and boundless rage, seemed to pierce through the screen, directly shaking Du's heart!

The next moment, the twisted energy that had accumulated to its limit and was enough to destroy everything did not rush towards the two Lances and their Pokémon as ordered. Instead, it suddenly poured out in the opposite direction and blasted all of it towards the crazed researcher!

"Damn it, what are you doing..."

Researcher Giger's face was instantly filled with extreme fear and disbelief, and his scream was completely drowned out and swallowed by the huge red explosion effect.

After the intense light of the explosion, the researcher lay on the ground, his body charred black, his fate unknown.

After its energy was depleted, the mutated Eevee's body returned to its original size and shape, but its color became even more grayish, as if its life force had also been lost.

It turned its head extremely weakly, its deep red eyes briefly glancing in the direction of the two 'Crossers', its gaze incredibly complex, a mixture of relief and deep exhaustion.

Then, without lingering, it used its last strength to become a blurry afterimage, darting into a broken ventilation duct nearby at an astonishing speed and disappearing completely into the darkness.

[Team Rocket researcher Giger is unable to fight!]

You have won!

[I've won a prize of 10000 yuan!]

The battle ended with a cold, impersonal notification popping up, but Wataru in front of the screen felt no joy of victory.

The laboratory area returned to its deathly silence, with only the occasional electrical hum from the wreckage of the equipment remaining.

Reality Ferry stared blankly at the screen, speechless for a moment, his heart filled with an indescribable heaviness and oppression.

In the game, Lance silently recalled the Dragonite that had lost its ability to battle, his expression quite solemn, as if he was thinking about something.

"A pathetic experiment. Another sin of Team Rocket, they deserve to die."

After a long while, "Du" in the game finally spoke in a low voice, his voice filled with barely suppressed anger.

"We must move forward and find out exactly what kind of research they are conducting here."

They bypassed the researcher who lay motionless on the ground and continued their advance into the deepest part of the base.

The atmosphere around him was even more somber than before. The brief but intense battle just now, and Eevee's last glance, were deeply imprinted in Lance's mind, lingering there.

Finally, they seemed to have reached the end of their journey—a larger hall, but also more dilapidated.

In the center of the hall, an enormous glass culture tank was completely shattered, and viscous nutrient solution emitting a faint, eerie glow was spilled all over the floor.

Most of the screens of the various precision instruments around were completely black, with only a few red lights flickering intermittently.

"It seems... we're still a step too late; the most important thing is no longer here."

"Du," the game's "Crossing," said in a deep voice. He strode to the main console, his fingers moving quickly and skillfully across the still-functioning touchscreen.

The character in the real world was guarding the side vigilantly, but his gaze was unconsciously drawn to the huge, broken culture tank in the center.

An inexplicable chill rose uncontrollably from his junior, making him feel a pang of fear.

"found it."

The voice of Yugi Watari pulled him back to reality from his unease.

"This is... a fragment of the core log of Project 'Twilight'. It was encrypted with Team Rocket's highest level of encryption. Fortunately... I had some luck in getting access to their encryption methods when I was an undercover agent in my early years."

His fingers flew across the keyboard, and countless strange symbols and obscure code scrolled rapidly across the screen, eventually transforming into readable text records.

Reality immediately moved closer to the screen, carefully examining the black text that appeared line by line.

[Project Codename: 'Twilight'. Final Phase Initiation: Forced Gene Sequence Fusion Attempt to Stabilize]

[Vitality confirmed. Energy response has surged dramatically, exceeding predicted peak levels. Warning: Restraint devices overloaded!]

[The final restraint device has completely collapsed. The target individual has breached containment and its whereabouts are unknown. (Repeated "whereabouts unknown").

[Top Alert: All personnel must evacuate immediately!]

The cold, mechanical words before him pieced together a terrifying truth that sent chills down his spine.

The Rockets weren't just conducting dangerous genetic experiments; they actually succeeded—at least halfway—creating a living, breathing "thing" with unimaginable power that was completely out of control!
And now it has escaped to the outside world!

Watari couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Admittedly, this is part of the game's storyline.
But what about in reality?!
