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

Chapter 211 People are in high spirits when they have good things to do; what are the needs of a special world?
This powerful energy had no effect on the city buildings and refugees below. The rainbow beam of light it spewed from its mouth pierced the sky, and wherever it passed, even powerful monsters like the Explosive Mosquito and the Pheromosa melted away like snow under the sun.

Ho-Oh easily and single-handedly intercepted the endless torrent of Ultra Beasts, bringing a glimmer of hope to the despairing world below.

Finally, after clearing out most of the visible monsters, Phoenix King let out a long cry that shook the heavens and earth and contained a sense of determination. Its huge body transformed into a rainbow beam of light that pierced through the heavens and earth and was more dazzling than the sun. It crashed into the huge ultimate hole in the sky where monsters were still constantly appearing!

A deafening roar exploded beside Ling Feng's ears. The purplish-black vortex trembled violently under the impact of the rainbow light, then shattered continuously, and finally vanished without a trace.

The sky returned to its original color, although a black aura still lingered, but the ultimate hole was gone.

The majestic figure of the Phoenix King vanished completely after the burst of brilliant light, leaving only a rainbow-colored feather that slowly drifted down in the air, containing unimaginable and immense life force. The feather shimmered with a faint light and eventually disappeared from people's sight, as if it had never existed.

All the hallucinations abruptly ended there, plunging the screen into darkness as if the power had been cut off.

Ling Feng's consciousness did not return to reality; a new question arose in his mind.

Why is it that even though Ho-Oh has gone to such lengths, successfully closing the Ultra Void and purifying the earth with all its power, the world has still ended up looking like it does now?
Is there an even more terrifying disaster after Ultra Beasts? Or have Ultra Beasts returned?
As if in response to his question, the darkness before him did not dissipate, but instead rippled again.

The illusion continued to play.
The initial scene is filled with hope: the survivors kneel on the ground, bowing in reverence to the sky where Ho-Oh disappeared. The legendary Pokémon that suddenly appeared saved them, so this is their natural reaction.

On the ruins, tender green seedlings sprouted, and the earth, bathed in rainbow-colored light rain, was visibly recovering its vitality.

The survivors supported each other and began to rebuild their homes. They revered Ho-Oh as their savior and even erected a monument in his memory. Everything seemed to be back on track, just like before.

At this point, the flow of time in the illusion begins to accelerate.

One generation passes away, and another generation grows up.

The new generation of leaders stood in towering buildings, looking through huge glass curtain walls at the world gradually returning to green.

Their eyes were no longer filled with awe, but with scrutiny and ambition. Ling Feng overheard fragments of argument:
"...We cannot entrust the survival of civilization to fantastical mythical creatures..."

"...We must take control of our own destiny! We must build an absolutely reliable defense..."

"...Surface resources must be used efficiently for a greater future..."

The images flicker, showing how human technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace. Huge drilling machines penetrate deep into the earth's crust, constantly overloading and depleting energy reserves, flattening forests and replacing them with massive factories.

Smoke covered the once azure sky.

Cities are becoming more and more magnificent and brighter, but the natural atmosphere is becoming increasingly faint, and the environment is deteriorating.

Ling Feng suddenly understood.

Ho-Oh's sacrifice did stabilize the environment in the short term, and even repaired the damage caused by the Ultra Beasts.

But Ho-Oh's very existence may be the core of maintaining the ecological balance of this world.

After this core burned itself out to save the world, its remaining power was barely enough to maintain the normal operation of the world's natural environment.

If humanity continues to recklessly destroy the environment, then there's nothing more to say; in the end, we'll only perish.

This is the consequence of messing things up without a divine beast to back you up.
As expected, just as Ling Feng predicted, the illusion ultimately revealed various scenarios of complete collapse of the natural ecosystem.

The land began to turn into desert, the rivers became murky, the sky was shrouded in permanent haze, and even the last bit of greenery disappeared completely.

The once glorious city has become desolate and dilapidated. Only now do the survivors remember the warnings of their predecessors and are forced to flee to the underground shelter they have been secretly building for some time—the precursor to the huge underground world where Ling Feng is now.

At this point, the illusion finally came to a complete end.

Ling Feng took a deep breath, his feelings slightly complicated.

On the one hand, he felt that these people had brought it all on themselves, because their greed and shortsightedness had buried them.

But on the other hand,

However, at this moment, he also realized something.

Since the cause of the disaster was human overexploitation after Ho-Oh disappeared, the surface world has been repairing itself for five hundred years without human interference, so it should be much better now, right?

After all, without human intervention, the world's natural environment will gradually repair itself.

The return to the surface that those Watchers long for might actually be something that can be done.

Of course, this is on the premise that the surface has indeed been restored and there is no possibility of Ultra Beasts invading and attacking again.

Speaking of this, Ling Feng felt a little strange.

Why do ultimate holes appear in every world?
Will a similar situation occur in my world later on?
However, now is clearly not a good time to think about this issue in depth. Ling Feng carefully put the metal fragment that recorded the heavy truth into the system space.

Now, let's return to the Watchers' base and tell Aunt Hong and the others about this crucial information.

However, just as the thought of setting off arose in his mind, the system notification sounded.

Important historical fragments have been included, significantly enhancing the understanding of the global context.

[Current world background resolution: 33%. When the resolution reaches 100%, the probability of connecting to a special world will greatly increase if the dimensional communicator is activated again.]

Ling Feng was stunned again when he saw the sudden notification.

Resolution? As the name suggests, this should refer to the level of understanding of the world linked by the dimensional communicator.

However, this... special world
What kind of world qualifies as a special world?
Isn't this world special enough?
Just as Ling Feng was pondering, the system provided a prompt, answering his question.

[Returning to host, a special world refers to a world that is closely related to the original characters and the main world. The first world you are in can be considered a special world.] [The current world is an ordinary world.]

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng understood.

From this perspective, being able to connect to a special world is a good thing.

After all, only in those worlds would there be a high degree of connection between the characters and the Pokémon world.
In that case, we absolutely have to find a way to maximize the background resolution this time.

The best way to achieve this is to thoroughly understand the situation in this world.

He took a deep breath, started walking, and hurried back the way he came.

Just as Ling Feng was preparing to return home, the situation at the Watchers base was not so optimistic.

The incident where Gengar instantly wiped out the League patrol team has clearly attracted great attention from the League's upper echelons.

At this moment, outside the defensive fortifications at the entrance to the Watchers' Base, the atmosphere was tense. A well-equipped League guard squad was launching a fierce attack. The officer leading the squad, whose shoulder insignia bore three stars and half a star, had a cold expression. His Pokémon were no longer ordinary Magnemite, but rather a heavily modified Electivire with thick steel shields added to its arms, and a larger Magneton with a significantly enhanced discharge device—their strength was clearly much greater than before.

Rainbow, Anvil, and the other Watchers fought back tenaciously, relying on the haphazard cover. Their Snorlax and Golem were struggling against the enemy's intensified firepower; sparks flew from Golem's body, and even Snorlax's thick layer of fat couldn't completely absorb the powerful electric shock from Magneton.

As more and more Watchers were injured and fell to the ground, the defensive line was pushed further and further back, and it looked like it was about to be breached.

With a loud bang, Aunt Hong was thrown back by the shockwave of the explosion while trying to push a young member away. She crashed heavily into the metal wall, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating that she was seriously injured.

"Surrender now." The three-and-a-half-star officer's voice came through the loudspeaker, cold and emotionless. "You have nowhere to retreat. Giving up resistance might save your lives."

An atmosphere of despair permeated the survivors. Iron Anvil supported Aunt Hong, his eyes filled with resentment and anger, yet also with helplessness.

The gap in strength between them and the league is ultimately too large.

However, at this critical moment, a heavy iron plate was pushed open from the inside of a hidden passageway on the side of the base, which was usually covered by debris.

A figure wearing an oil-stained leather jacket and smoking a metal cigarette slowly walked out.

—He was a heavy smoker.

He seemed completely oblivious to the fierce battle before him and the countless weapons pointed at him. His gaze swept across the battlefield, finally landing on the injured Aunt Hong. He walked straight over and asked in a hoarse but clear voice, "Hong, tell me, where did that Ling Feng go? I need to talk to him."

Everyone was stunned.

The Allied officer frowned, watching the uninvited guest warily.

The Watchers were completely baffled. Many of them knew Old Smoker, but he was just a well-informed intelligence broker in the lower city, usually only at the level of a three-star trainer. How could he appear deep inside the base at this critical moment?
Also, is this the time to ask this kind of question?

Despite the pain, Aunt Hong anxiously hissed, "Old Smoker! Are you here to die? Quick! Take Ah Xuan and get out of the secret passage! We can't hold out here any longer!"

The Allied officer also lost his patience and warned sternly, "Anyone who is not authorized to leave, get out of here immediately! Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

Upon hearing this, the old smoker grinned, revealing a set of teeth that had turned yellow from smoking.

He took off his pipe, tapped the ash on his prosthetic leg, and said slowly, "Looks like I haven't stretched my muscles in a long time. Now even the most insignificant cats and dogs dare to bark at me."

Before he finished speaking, a Poké Ball appeared in his hand—the same Ultra Ball that Ling Feng had given him earlier!

The Ultra Ball was thrown, and a flash of light appeared. Instead of the familiar Murkrow, a raven leader appeared, with an unusually large body, sharp eyes, and an imposing aura!
Its beak and claws gleamed with a cold metallic sheen, and its red mechanical eyes swept across the entire area, exuding a domineering aura.

At this moment, both Aunt Rainbow and Anvil were stunned, because this was definitely not the Pokémon that Old Smoker should have in their memories!
This aura is definitely at the four-star level!
Old Smoker's voice remained calm: "Raven leader, Tailwind, Dark Pulse to destroy the energy cores of those Magneton."

The crow let out a piercing cry, its wings flapping violently, instantly unleashing a powerful gust of air that swept across the battlefield, disrupting the formation of the opposing Pokémon and increasing its own speed.

Immediately afterward, before anyone else could react, it darted out like a black lightning bolt, its jet-black energy wave striking with pinpoint accuracy the most vulnerable energy transmission components of several Magneton.

Boom boom boom!
A series of explosions rang out, and several Magnetons from the Alliance side instantly crashed to the ground!
The Electabuzz, now equipped with a steel shield, tried to block, but the Raven leader made a strange dive, its Dark Pulse striking the connection between the shield and the beast's body, cleverly flipping it to the ground and rendering it unable to fight.

In just a few minutes, the battle was completely reversed by his Pokémon!
The three-and-a-half-star officer's face turned deathly pale as he stared in disbelief at what was happening before him.

In the end, he could only grit his teeth and order a retreat, fleeing in panic with his remaining troops.

After the crisis was over, the base entrance was in a mess. The surviving Watchers looked at Old Smoker and his Raven leader with shock and confusion in their eyes.

Aunt Hong, clutching her wound, frowned and asked somewhat urgently, "Old Smoker, what happened to you? ...How did you manage to level up to four stars all at once?"

The old smoker retracted the crow's head, picked up his pipe again, but instead of answering Aunt Hong's question, he asked again:

"Tell me where that guy Ling Feng is. I need to talk to him about something important."

Just as the atmosphere became a little tense, footsteps came from the entrance of the passage.

Ling Feng is back.

He immediately spotted the scene at the base entrance, the injured Aunt Hong, and the old smoker whose aura was completely out of place in the lower city.

This person seems a bit different from before.

Then he saw the leader of the crows next to the old smoker.

Oh, so my main Pokémon evolved after eating a Rare Candy... Now I feel much more energetic.

This might just be because... people are in a good mood when they're having a good time.
When the old smoker saw Ling Feng, his eyes lit up, and he immediately wanted to go forward and say something, appearing very anxious.
