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

Chapter 261 The Villainous Organization's Reaction, Emerald's Second Cycle!
【Ding! 】

[The host has triggered an SS-rank special mission—The Turmoil in the Spirit Realm!]

[Mission Description: The dormant defenses of the spirit realm are becoming increasingly weak. A cataclysmic upheaval originating from the depths of the spirit realm is about to sweep across the world. An unknown crisis is brewing deep within the spirit realm, and its effects have already begun to permeate reality.]

[Task Requirements (Optional):]

Option 1: Go it alone to quickly improve your own strength and suppress or quell the unrest with overwhelming power when it breaks out.

Option Two: "Mutual Support" guides and strengthens the existence of the "Spirit Realm lineage" (such as Ghost-type Pokémon and their trainers), making them a force to resist turmoil.

[Note: Different choices will lead to different task completion rewards and subsequent impacts.]

[Countdown to the outbreak of chaos in the spirit world: 16 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes...]

The dark red characters lingered in Ling Feng's eyes for several seconds before slowly fading away.

"The Spirit Realm... in turmoil?" Ling Feng looked at the prompt, his expression somewhat complicated.

He was no stranger to the concept of the "spirit world".

After all, Gengar came from that place, and Chandelure is also from the spirit world, strictly speaking.

From what we can see, that area is inhabited by Ghost-type Pokémon. He even researched it later, and online sources say it's a place where souls reside, difficult for the living to reach. It's said to maintain a fragile balance with the real world, but no further information was provided.

The earth-shaking changes... I don't think that's all it refers to, right?
Ling Feng glanced again at the unusual weather outside the window.

Gengar's abnormal state and the unusually gloomy weather in Cerulean City are probably signs of some kind of energy seeping out from the spirit world.

As a Ghost-type Pokémon of this caliber, and originating from the Spirit World, Gengar is naturally very sensitive to changes in the Spirit World, which explains its current state.

But then again.
"SS-rank..."

Ling Feng smacked his lips.

This level indicates that the trouble that is about to come is definitely not small.

The mission requirements gave two options: one was to become stronger and fight head-on, and the other was to make that spirit realm lineage stronger.

Different choices will yield different rewards…

"The lineage of the spirit world..."

He had never even heard of those four words before.

However, with a little thought, one can guess that they might be a group of trainers or something similar from the spirit world?

And there should also be a connection between them and the problems that are about to occur in the spirit world.

This sudden high-level mission disrupted Ling Feng's relaxed mood, which had just been lifted by the generous reward.

He needs to carefully plan his next move.

Meanwhile, in the First World, in the Hoenn region, deep within Mt. Chimney.

Inside the Lava Cluster's secret base, built within the volcanic rock walls, the air was scorching and stifling, thick with the stench of sulfur and metal.
The lava pool churned at the bottom of the base, casting a dark red glow over the entire space.

Leader Crimson Pine stood in front of a huge wall of surveillance screens, on which a shocking video was playing repeatedly.

That's a key CG scene from Emerald where Groudon and Kyogre engage in an epic battle in the waters off Sootopolis, ultimately quelled by Rayquaza.

Crimson Flame stared intently at Groudon's towering figure on the screen, its every step expanding the earth, its eyes burning with fanatical flames.

"What...what power!" he murmured, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

"God of the Earth...this is the true form of the God of the Earth! Expand the land and create our ideal world!"

However, when the scene progressed to Rayquaza descending from the sky and delivering a devastating blow that simultaneously rendered Groudon and Kyogre unable to continue, Crimson's expression instantly darkened, his fervor replaced by resentment and anger.

"Who is this guy again?"

It seemed like this wasn't the first time he'd seen this footage; he slammed his fist on the control panel next to him, making a dull thud.

Just then, the specially made encrypted communicator on his wrist vibrated.

Chi Yansong glanced at the caller ID, his expression turning even uglier, but he still pressed the answer button.

Shui Wutong's rough voice, tinged with a hint of displeasure, immediately rang out: "Chiyansong! Did you see that scene?!"

"Of course I play slower than you!"

The Crimson Pine responded coldly.

"Damn it, all I want to do right now is smash things."

The water sycamore's voice was very irritable.

"That Kyogre! He's the sea god our Team Aqua is after! And yet... he was treated like a child by that green guy... Damn it! Who made this game?! Why is it arranged like this?"

After a brief silence, the two men, who had fought for half their lives because of their diametrically opposed ideologies, now felt a strange sense of alliance because of their shared defeat and humiliation in the game.

"In any case, it knows... more than we thought."

Chi Yansong's voice deepened, tinged with excitement.

"They not only know Groudon and Kyogre, but they also know our original plan perfectly well."

"So what!" Water Wutong roared, "It showed it! It proved that the power of divine beasts can be guided and utilized! Although we failed in the game, that's just a game! It's fake! Why can't we do it in reality?!"

Crimson Pine's eyes lit up.

"Wait, what do you mean?"

"It means we were incredibly stupid!"

Shui Wutong pursed her lips.

"In the game, we only think about controlling Groudon or Kyogre, letting them fight to the death, and the winner takes all. But what really determines the outcome is that green guy, that thing called Razorback!"

"Raykuza."

Chi Yansong corrected him.

"But you're right. It seems our previous ideas were too limited. Why insist on having the land cover the sea, or the sea submerge the land? I think we could cooperate once."

"cooperate?"

Shui Wutong's voice was full of suspicion and vigilance.

Chi Yansong has always been full of clever ideas; who knows what he's up to this time?

"Yes! Temporary cooperation."

Red Pine spoke rapidly, "Our Team Magma and Team Aqua will find and control that strongest green legendary Pokémon, and use its power to control Groudon and Kyogre!"

"That way, they'll all be at our disposal! Then..."

Chi Yansong's voice was filled with excitement: "The earth and the sea will both prostrate themselves at our feet! As for whether the earth will be more or the sea more... we can decide that when we have absolute power, shall we?"

"It's better than this, where we end up getting wiped out by Rayquaza with a single slap, right?"

The water sycamore remained silent.

He stared intently at the majestic figure of Rayquaza frozen on the screen, his eyes churning with intense emotions.

His instinctive rejection of Crimson Pine's proposal, his craving for Rayquaza's power, his obsession with controlling Groudon, and his weighing of the cooperation—ultimately, he clearly couldn't resist the temptation.

"Alright... then let's cooperate this time."

"However, given your previous performance, if you want to cooperate, you'd better show me some sincerity!"

Meanwhile, deep underground in Viridian City, in the Kanto region, lies Team Rocket's secret base.

Sakaki sat in a large leather chair, stroking the smooth fur of the cat curled up on his lap with one hand, while operating the mouse in front of him with the other.

On the screen, there was also a CG scene of the battle between the three gods from Emerald.

However, Giovanni's gaze did not linger on Groudon or Kyogre for long; his eyes were fixed on Rayquaza, which had descended from the sky and quelled the two gods with absolute power.

The scene ended, the screen went dark, revealing Giovanni's deep, unreadable face.

Rayquaza... Groudon... Kyogre...

He murmured the names.

So... such things still exist in this world.
Sakaki's voice carried an undisguised excitement.

This was different from his excitement when he learned of Mewtwo's birth some time ago; back then, it was the joy of the birth of the "strongest weapon."

And now, it is the ambition to know that the world is so vast and that there are so many powerful forces waiting to be discovered and utilized.

Power... so much power...

There was a fanatical glint in his eyes.

If the Rockets could control one of them, no, even just a portion of their power, wouldn't they be able to easily rule over the entire Kanto, no, the entire world?
However, Sakaki quickly snapped out of his excitement.

Because of this game… this game called Emerald, it knows too much!
It not only knows these legendary Pokémon from Hoenn, but also portrays their powers, their possible habitats, and even the story of humans trying to use them so realistically!

So... what about Mewtwo?

Sakaki felt something was off as he thought about it more and more. The cat seemed to sense its owner's change in mood and meowed softly.

Mewtwo, the strongest weapon secretly created by Team Rocket with all their might, countless resources, and the sacrifice of countless experimental subjects.

Could its existence have already been exposed to the game's view?
As the game's story progresses, will information about Mewtwo be revealed to players worldwide, just like the so-called Hoenn Legendary Trio?

This thought made Sakaki feel a strong sense of unease and threat.

If those guys in the League knew about Mewtwo's existence...

For me now, the consequences would be unimaginable.

No... We absolutely cannot let Mewtwo be exposed.

A cold glint flashed in Sakaki's eyes as he made up his mind.

We must accelerate the process of controlling and training Mewtwo!

We must unleash its full power and completely control it before the information is leaked!

He immediately picked up the encrypted communicator and connected to a number.

"it's me."

Sakaki's voice was cold.

"From today onwards, Project Mewtwo is elevated to the highest priority. All resources will be directed towards it. I want to see it reach its theoretically complete form in the shortest possible time!"

"The implantation test of the will control module was conducted in advance, and if necessary... the stimulation intensity can be increased."

A hesitant man's voice came from the other end of the communicator:

"My lord, isn't this... a bit too hasty? Mewtwo's mental state is still very unstable. Forcibly accelerating and increasing stimulation is extremely risky and could lead to..."

"Regardless of the risks!"

Sakaki abruptly interrupted the other person, his tone resolute.

"Do as I say! Mewtwo is a weapon that can cut into the League immediately, not some work of art that needs to be carefully protected, get it right."

Putting down the communicator, Sakaki leaned back in his chair, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest.

On the screen, the CG had ended, but Rayquaza's figure soaring through the sky seemed to still flash before his eyes.

From this perspective
The Rockets' journey... has only just begun.

The following morning, in the Sinnoh region, atop Mt. Tenkan.

Golden morning light pierced through the clouds, bathing the rooftop villa in a soft glow.

Cynthia, dressed in comfortable loungewear, with her long blonde hair casually draped over her shoulders, sat in front of her live-streaming equipment by the window, holding a steaming cup of coffee.

She took a deep breath of fresh air, looked at the view outside the window, and felt very happy.

To be honest, she had temporarily shut down the live stream to avoid the upcoming content of Emerald causing a worldwide sensation and alerting Team Rocket.

In retrospect, this decision was the right one. The intensity of the Emerald storyline far exceeded her expectations, and there was also a lot of information about Team Rocket.

However, it doesn't matter anymore now.

Many players have already completed their first playthrough, and these messages are already out of control.

Moreover, during the period when she stopped streaming, online discussions about Emerald, especially about the Three Gods War CG, completely exploded.

Screen recordings, analysis posts, and posts from players expressing their amazement flooded the internet.

Many players mentioned in the posts that the immersive and shocking experience of personally triggering and watching the cinematic of the three gods' battle in the game is completely different from watching a screen recording on a video website.

Perhaps this is the game's mechanics; only when playing it yourself can players truly feel as if they are amidst towering waves and erupting lava, experiencing the earth-shattering pressure of the mythical beast.

This unique experience has attracted countless new players to Emerald, while veteran players are even more enthusiastic.

That said, something unexpected happened to her last night.

As she finished a segment of the rescue team's storyline and exited the game to rest, an update announcement suddenly popped up on the screen with the Pokémon Emerald icon:
[Pokémon Emerald Version Update Announcement]

[Update completion time: 7:00 AM tomorrow]

[Update Content: New Game Plus story is now officially available!]

[Note: Players who have successfully completed the first playthrough (i.e., defeated the Elite Four and the Champion to become the new Hoenn Champion) can continue their journey to explore the deeper secrets and challenges of the Hoenn region!]

Enjoy the game!

Second playthrough?
She thought that once she defeated Daigo and reached the top of the champion's hall, the main storyline of the game would be perfectly completed.

At the time, she felt a little regretful because her exploration of the world was not enough to satisfy her.

But unexpectedly, there was more content later in the game...
This discovery changed her mind.

The rescue team's storyline is indeed quite interesting, but let's play this first among the new content released in Emerald.

She glanced at the time: 7:01.

—Great, it's time to go live.
