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

Chapter 251 The banquet in the Starry Sky Hall: An unexpected turn of events!
“A banquet!” Miles blurted out.

"Three days later, in the 'Starry Sky Hall' in the core area of ​​the Alliance, there will be a very high-profile banquet. Ostensibly, it is to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the Alliance, but in reality, it is an occasion for the major factions to compete and test each other! As the president of the Alliance, President Alicia will definitely attend. That is your only chance to get close to her peacefully!"

"In what capacity?" Ling Feng asked.

“The cleaner!” Miles answered in a very fast voice.

"The banquet needs a lot of temporary service staff, including cleaning. I can arrange for you to sneak in; I'll take care of the identification! It'll be just the lowest-level temporary work, but enough for you to move around the banquet hall!"

Ling Feng thought for a moment and nodded.

"can."

"Then listen carefully."

Miles's expression turned serious.

"The security level at that banquet is very high. President Alicia is surrounded by the most elite guards, and the bigwigs of both the pro-war and pro-construction factions will be there! Colonel Walker is also there. He's a very dangerous guy. If you're exposed, you're dead for sure, and I'll be finished too, understand?"

He stared intently at Ling Feng.

"So it's not too late to back out now, I also think this is crazy."

"Don't worry, you won't die. Tell me the time, place, how to enter, and the area where President Alicia is most likely to appear." Ling Feng didn't seem to care much.

They won't die; being discovered will just cause some trouble.

Miles looked at Ling Feng's calm demeanor and finally let out a sigh of dejection.

He didn't know where Ling Feng got his confidence from, but he knew he definitely couldn't persuade this young man.

“I’ll send the time, location, and employee access information to the communicator you have. Alicia…” he recalled.

"She usually gives her speech near the main podium, and then may make a short stop in the VIP lounge. If she is in a bad mood, she may go to the rooftop observation deck to get some fresh air. The view is great there, and you can see... an artificial starry sky, haha."

"Understood." Ling Feng turned to leave.

"Wait!" Miles stopped him.

Before you leave, could you tell me... who exactly are you?

Ling Feng stopped at the door without turning around, his voice coming clearly.

"It doesn't matter who I am."

He paused.

"But my goal is similar to yours."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and disappeared into the dimly lit corridor.

Miles stood there, looking at the empty doorway, then looked down at his calloused hands, which trembled slightly from overwork.

Can this young man named Ling Feng really bring about a change in the situation?

Before he could think any further, he shook his head slightly, overwhelmed by exhaustion and confusion once again.

three days later.

The most magnificent building in the core area of ​​Aztec City—the Starry Sky Hall.

Ling Feng changed into the gear Miles had prepared in a warehouse that smelled of cleaning agents and a faint engine oil.

A dark blue banquet cleaning uniform, with the brim of the hat pulled low and the matching mask covering most of her face.

A spray bottle, a rag, and a palm-sized portable vacuum cleaner—that's all he has.

The temporary work pass provided by Miles was already hanging around his neck; the photo was a blurred, altered image, and the name was still Lynn.

He mingled with a group of temporary workers, all dressed in the same cleaning uniforms and with blank expressions, and entered the logistics area of ​​the Starry Sky Hall through a hidden employee passage.

Security checks here are relatively lax; it seems the main focus is on scanning for weapons or explosives.

Ling Feng had nothing on him except cleaning tools, and the crystal chandelier spirit was, as usual, hiding in the shadows.

The next moment, the scanner's green light turned on.

The guard waved for them to pass.

Passing through the noisy kitchen and storage area, and pushing open a heavy soundproof door, deafening music and boisterous voices instantly rushed in.

Ling Feng stepped into the main hall of the Starry Sky Hall and observed the environment.

This is truly a building worthy of the Upper East Side; it's luxurious.

The ceiling at the top is made of countless pieces of transparent material inlaid with luminous crystals, simulating a dazzling starry sky.

Countless floating crystal chandeliers, emitting a soft glow, adorn the space like stars.

A giant holographic projection in the air changed the Alliance logo and a magnificent cityscape, while the air was filled with the aroma of fine fragrances, gourmet food, and alcohol.

Well-dressed men and women, with smiles on their faces, held wine glasses and moved between the huge crystal pillars and dining tables.

To describe it in four words: extravagant and decadent.

This scene, so different from the dilapidated and filthy downtown area, seemed like a completely different world.

Ling Feng's gaze swept quickly across the entire room without lingering for long.

He noticed that many guests had Pokémon of various shapes and sizes following them around them or at their feet.

Without exception, they were all either steel or electric, which is consistent with the situation in this world.

He saw the Magnemite hovering beside the waiter, carefully using its magnetism to support the tray of snacks.

Several lightning balls and playful lightning bolts were tied to a corner by their owner with special energy collars, rolling around aimlessly and occasionally sparking with electricity.

Most eye-catching were several wealthy or military officers who appeared to be of very high status. They were accompanied by enormous Magneton monsters that exuded a dangerous aura. These Magneton monsters were even weaker than those in Quinn's army before, probably only at the threshold of Elite Four level, and were not worth mentioning.

Ling Feng lowered his hat brim, picked up a spray bottle and a rag, and like a truly inconspicuous cleaner, began to wipe the gleaming handrail along the edges, cleaning up dust that didn't even exist.

His gaze also scanned the entire hall, gathering information.

Soon, he locked the target.

A slight commotion arose at the entrance of the hall—someone had arrived.

She was a beautiful woman.

She wore a sharply tailored silver-white dress that accentuated her slender figure, and her long, flowing silver hair was simply tied back.

Her face was exquisite, and her eyes were an exceptionally beautiful icy blue.
However, Ling Feng keenly noticed the undisguised weariness deep in her eyes; clearly, her mind wasn't on the banquet at all. Beside her were four guards in sharp black uniforms, their eyes sharply scanning the surroundings, wary of anyone who might approach.
Even more striking were the two Magneton hovering beside them. They were larger than any Ling Feng had ever seen before, with their metallic shells displaying a deep dark silver color and radiating a powerful energy field.

These three... are also at the initial stage of Quasi-Heavenly King.

Ling Feng immediately made a judgment.

What surprised Ling Feng the most was the Pokémon hovering low beside Alicia.

It maintained a height of about half a person, with four thick metal claws retracted to its sides, and its huge silver cross-shaped metal body radiating a cold, icy light.

This is a Metagross monster!
It merely hovered there, yet a powerful and concentrated sense of mental pressure spread out, causing several small Magneton floating nearby to tremble slightly and subconsciously move away from that area.

Peak near-King level!
Ling Feng instantly judged its strength level.

Given the current state of the world, this is already among the most powerful trainers in the entire world.
Alicia's arrival instantly drew everyone's attention. She walked into the hall like a queen, politely but distantly nodding to the important figures who came forward to greet her.

Almost at the same time Alicia appeared, Ling Feng's gaze also locked onto another focal point at the other end of the crowd—a man in military uniform.

This must be Colonel Walker.

This lean and muscular man possessed the unique aura of a professional soldier, and Ling Feng immediately recognized him.

He was surrounded by several people with similarly cold and hard demeanor, who clearly had military backgrounds.

Beside Walker was an electric monster. Ling Feng judged its strength to be roughly at the early stage of Quasi-Heavenly King.

This proves that my previous judgment was indeed correct; the entire audience combined probably wouldn't be enough to match the power of the chandelier.

At that moment, Colonel Walker's gaze lingered on Alicia for a moment, carrying undisguised pressure.

His gaze swept across the staff area like a searchlight. When it swept over Ling Feng's direction, Ling Feng immediately lowered his head, using the cover of wiping a huge crystal pillar next to him to avoid that scrutinizing gaze.

Just like that, a few minutes later.

Alicia finished her brief greetings, seemed tired, and walked towards the entrance of the VIP lounge surrounded by guards.

Ling Feng immediately pushed a small cart loaded with cleaning supplies next to him and followed quietly.

He needed to find an opportunity to speak with Alicia alone before she entered the lounge.

Using the crowd as cover, he quickly approached the entrance to the VIP lounge.

Alicia had reached the door, and the guard opened it for her.

Just as she was about to step into the lounge, Ling Feng quickened his pace, pretending to clean the carpet near the lounge entrance, and moved a few meters closer to Alicia.

"Sir!" A guard immediately stepped forward and blocked Ling Feng's path.

His voice was polite, but his tone was harsh.
"This area does not require cleaning. Please leave immediately and work in another area."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Ling Feng's name tag, as if he were checking something.

Alicia didn't even turn her head to look at Ling Feng, the "cleaner," and walked straight into the break room without pausing. The heavy door closed silently behind her.

The first attempt to approach clearly failed.

The guards were extremely vigilant, giving no unauthorized personnel a chance to approach.

However, this was not beyond Ling Feng's original expectations. He stood there and thought for a moment.

Actually, it's not impossible to just storm in and bring Alicia out to talk to us.
Anyway, even if all these people were put together, they might not be enough to burn down the chandelier with a single fire.

But that would mean he would have no secrets left on this trip, so he still wanted to leave himself some space.

Just as Ling Feng was pondering, the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall reached its peak.

Dazzling holographic images flickered under the ceiling, simulating a brilliant galaxy, while the sounds of guests chatting, clinking glasses, and the low growls of Pokémon blended together.

However, at that very moment, an extremely discordant and teeth-grinding sharp sound suddenly rang out!
Stab it--!
The sound was like a high-speed chainsaw frantically cutting something.

The source of the sound was the dome in the hall, which was made of high-strength alloy and energy shield!

Everyone froze, laughter and conversation ceased abruptly, and only the increasingly loud and piercing cutting sound scraped against everyone's eardrums.

Boom——! ! !
What followed was a violent explosion that arrived even before the sound!

A blinding, blue-white beam of light fell without warning from the center of the dome!
It tore through the thick alloy layer, like an invisible tsunami, surging out from the crack and instantly sweeping across the entire hall!

The enormous crystal chandelier suspended in the air was the first to be hit, shattered by the shockwave, and countless fragments poured down like a torrential rain.

Immediately following were the massive walls of light all around, spiderweb-like cracks instantly appearing before completely dissipating under the shockwave, turning into a sky full of dangerous raindrops!

A frantic scream erupted.

Fear instantly replaced the previous commotion. The crowd, like ants in a pot that had been set on fire, panicked and pushed each other as they fled, trying to avoid the falling debris and the destructive aftershocks of energy.

Tables and chairs were overturned, and exquisite food and drinks were spilled all over the floor, plunging the entire hall into complete chaos and panic.

At the height of this chaos, several strangely shaped figures radiating a cold metallic luster flew into the hall from the twisted crack!
Ignoring the chaotic fleeing crowd below, several Pokémon and humans unfortunate enough to be caught in their path of descent were instantly blasted away by the shockwaves from their high-speed dive, or struck directly by the dangerous arcs of electricity leaping around them, falling silent.

Ling Feng raised his eyebrows slightly as he watched this scene.

This situation was completely unexpected for him.

Because these attacks suddenly appeared in the hall.

They're all future Pokémon!!
—What exactly is going on?
His gaze fell upon those paradoxes—

The leader of them has a long, slender metal neck, with a single, red-glowing sensor at the top – it is Iron Neck!

Beside it were several iron bundles, their bodies radiating a chilling aura.

Closely following behind were the massive iron arms.

In addition, there were several Iron Warriors.

This number is even greater than what I saw on the ground before; at first glance, there are at least dozens of them!

However, upon closer inspection of their strength... it seems they are somewhat weaker?
If I'm not mistaken, they should all be at least mid-level Quasi-Heavenly King level.
The next moment, all these future Pokémon came to life!
Their target was extremely clear. Without the slightest hesitation, they directly locked onto the large energy crystal pillar in the center of the hall that emitted a soft blue light and provided the core energy and holographic projection for the entire banquet, and they all rushed towards it!
Once this crystal bead collapses, the entire banquet hall will be engulfed by a violent explosion!

At this moment, the Alliance's guards and soldiers in the crowd also reacted!

"Enemy attack!!!"

"Protect the crystal pillar!!"

"Stop them!!"
