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

Chapter 267 Watari's Analysis, Battle Frontier!

Honestly, if I were to encounter this guy in real life, I would be absolutely powerless to resist.

He replayed the video again and again, and combined it with the explosive discussions in the comments section, forcing himself to analyze the terrifying power displayed by this unknown and formidable enemy.

First, there's the species. This is definitely a Pokémon that no one has ever seen before!
It was entirely white, with a slender humanoid silhouette, and a rather powerful-looking tail trailing behind it. Its body surface seemed to be covered with some kind of machine-like creation.

As for its attack methods... Du stared intently at the bursts of light, trying to assess these skills.

With its powerful Psychic and Ghost-type offensive capabilities combined with its appearance, is this a Ghost/Psychic type Pokémon?
Or is it simply a superpower type?

What gave him the creeps the most was the "Spiritual Ambush" skill! That thing could actually ignore protection!

The first attack disappeared from the field, and the second attack, like a ghost, pierced through all defenses and took down the Tanabata!
As the champion, Du knew very well that if the level difference between the user of the protection skill and the attacker was too great, the protection of this skill would be broken. This was normal, as protection was not omnipotent and could not overcome the gap between levels.

Although his performance in the game was good, the special battle he just fought felt more like reality.

Moreover, the protective barrier wasn't broken at all; it was simply bypassed!

These are two completely different concepts!
On the other hand, its speed, attack power, and defense are all obviously very high... You can't tell its level at all in the replay; you can only feel its unfathomable power.

As for this guy's modus operandi—he deliberately blew up the roof of the Hall of Fame to break in and specifically targeted him, the champion.

Moreover, he seems to have a very strong sense of self.

Those cold, contemptuous words echoed repeatedly in his ears.

Tiny strength... utterly vulnerable... test qualification...

As a Pokémon, it exhibits a high level of intelligence and blatant aggression!
Du Meng abruptly turned off the playback.

No, now that such a Pokémon has appeared in the game, he can't just ignore it.

However, the audience certainly doesn't know that such a thing could possibly exist in reality—or rather, it definitely will.

At that moment, he spoke to the chat in the live stream.

"Everyone... you all saw it. That guy just now was a Pokémon we've never seen before. Its power... I'm guessing it might be a legendary Pokémon?"

He paused, then continued.

What are your thoughts on this guy's identity?

The live stream chat instantly erupted again, with the chat scrolling wildly with various speculations:

[Mythical Beast? New Divine Beast?]

[Is this a bug?]

[This is definitely a special storyline!]

[The White Devil?]

Clearly, there was no useful information.

As Du looked at the comments, something suddenly occurred to him.

He immediately opened the private chat window, quickly found Cynthia's name, and sent a message directly, his tone so urgent it almost overflowed the screen:

"Cyndaquil, I'm on my second playthrough too, but I was attacked in the Hall of Fame just now! A white, humanoid Pokémon I've never seen before blew up the roof and stormed in, instantly wiping out my entire team!"

"It has a skill called 'Sneak Strike' that can ignore protection, and its stats are very high. Have you... seen anything similar in the game? Or heard of anything like it?"

At that moment, on Cynthia's side, she had just controlled her character to enter the gate of Daigo's villa, which was filled with the smell of minerals, and was planning to go back and carefully search for anything else that could be used when Lance's message notification sounded urgently.

She clicked on it, her brows furrowing instantly, a hint of surprise flashing in her golden eyes:
"White. Humanoid? Ignores protection and wipes out your entire team?"

She was well aware of Wataru's command abilities. Even in the game, since he could complete the first playthrough, his team's skill level should be about the same as hers.

She immediately stopped in her tracks, lost in thought.

"Wait a minute. I've seen a similar Pokémon in a game before."

She replied quickly, trying to grasp that blurry fragment of memory.
"It was late in the first playthrough. When I was passing through a secluded side path deep in a cave, a white shadow flashed by in the shadows high up... It looked very different and left a deep impression on me, but it didn't attack and disappeared instantly."

Watari's instant reply:

"If that's the case, we've probably encountered the same Pokémon, but it seems like you didn't see any scene where it attacked you, right?"

Cynthia looked at the message and nodded.

"It's definitely different. I'm guessing this is likely a branching event unique to the second playthrough, or a special plot triggered by the player's actions?"

"There have been two branching points where the plot was abnormal before, but they are generally not that different, which means I should also encounter the Pokémon you mentioned."

"If I run into him again in the future, I'll tell you right away."

"Okay, you know, I'm mainly worried about some other things."

Ferry crossing.

Cynthia remained silent for a few seconds.

"I understand what you mean. Let's get stronger through the game for now."

After ending the call with Watari, a sense of urgency arose spontaneously.

Cynthia took a deep breath and spoke to the live stream camera, her voice a few decibels deeper than usual:
"Did you all hear that? Lance's side encountered a mysterious and powerful enemy in a direct attack. It seems to be a white Pokémon? It looks like the challenge of the second playthrough won't be easy. We need to improve our strength as soon as possible."

She decisively pulled up the map. "Target clear—Battle Frontier! Let's go!"

At the same time, the live chat was immediately flooded with expressions of support and amazement:

[My heart aches for Du Bao, hahaha]

What white Pokémon? Is there a screen recording?

[Stay calm, streamer! If he dares to come, beat him up!]

[The expansion zone should be where you get stronger, right?]

[As the champion, his special training actually takes place in a game, lol]

After locating her position on the map, Cynthia quickly arrived at the Battle Frontier in the southern part of the Hoenn region.

What comes into view is a vast complex of buildings full of futuristic technology, with various peculiar facilities reflecting a metallic luster in the sunlight.

The founder, Ashida, the bald man with sunglasses and a warm smile, was already waiting at the entrance:
Welcome, champion!

"This is the Battle Frontier, the ultimate battleground that surpasses even the Gyms!" He opened his arms wide, his voice filled with pride, and continued his introduction:

"Seven battle facilities, each with its own unique features!"

"Singles, doubles, roulette... the rules are all different, and they're all incredibly challenging!"

"At the pinnacle of each facility, there is a pioneering genius with unparalleled abilities in charge!"

"Successfully challenging them will not only earn you a pioneering symbol representing glory, but also give you the chance to win extremely rare rewards! Are you ready, champion?"

Guided by Ashida's enthusiasm, Cynthia first arrived at a venue shaped like a giant gear.

"This is Battle Factory, which mainly focuses on doubles battles. The rules are relatively straightforward, making it a good starting point!"

Yashida explained.

Cynthia ended the conversation and went inside. Doubles was nothing new to her.

The interior space is spacious, making it a standard doubles match venue.

Her first opponent quickly appeared on the other side—a little boy wearing a straw hat, who looked only seven or eight years old, with an innocent smile on his face. The comments section immediately lightened:

[Holy crap, a kid?]

[Is this some kind of welfare agency?!]

[Please go easy on me, streamer!]

[A newbie protection system in the Frontier Zone? It's probably just a tutorial, right?]

Seeing the opponent's youthful appearance, Cynthia's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and she decided to end the battle quickly.

Let's finish this quickly.

A thought flashed through Cynthia's mind, and she lightly clicked the mouse, sending out her starting lineup.

"Ludicolo, Pelipper! Prepare for battle!"

Ludicolo with its free-swimming ability and Pelipper with its rain-bringing ability suddenly appeared on the field.

In doubles matches, this is currently a very good partner for him on his team.

Utilize the Pelipper's ability to activate rain, allowing Ludicolo to gain double speed in the rain for high-speed output and suppression.

The comments section flashed by instantly:

[They're here! What did the streamer call this team? The Rain Team! That's right.]

[Using weather teams to discipline kids?]

[The champion's meticulousness.jpg]

【Isn't this a bit bullying? (doge)】

In the game, the little boy looked at the two Pokémon that Cynthia sent out, grinned, and revealed a smile.

His eyes inexplicably lit up.

"Wow! Big sister is the champion? That's amazing! I'm going to give it my all too! Let's go, my partner!"

He threw out two Poké Balls with force, a flash of red light, and two extremely imposing figures landed with a thud!
On the left is a majestic presence, like a fiery lion king, with golden mane like a burning sun, radiating an aura of heat and nobility!

[The young man has dispatched the Flame Emperor, level 80!]

To the right, amidst the roar of steam, the massive cannon barrels resembled fortresses, their blue bodies brimming with explosive power.

[The boy has dispatched Polcanion, level 80!]

The air seemed to freeze.

Cynthia's smile froze instantly.

She almost thought she was seeing things.

Isn't that Emperor Yan on the left?

I learned about this legendary Pokémon through a live stream on Qishu.

As for the one on the right
This doesn't look like a normal Pokémon at all, does it?

The live stream chat exploded as if a bomb had been dropped on it.

【？？？】
[Emperor Yan?!]

"Hey buddy, do you wholesale legendary Pokémon?"

[Run, streamer!!!]

However, the battle interface has already popped up, intense music is playing, and the battle has begun!
[Puffin's ability, Rain, is activated!]

Dark clouds gathered instantly over the field, and large raindrops began to pelt down, turning the weather into a downpour!
This is the core of Cynthia's tactics.

However, the Yan Emperor opposite him let out a deafening roar, and the fiery crown on his forehead burst out with dazzling light!

[Emperor Yan's Special Trait - Sunlight Activated!]

A more powerful surge of intense energy, seemingly emanating from the sun, shot into the sky, instantly dispelling the newly formed dark clouds. The scorching sunlight relentlessly baked the field.

The weather has turned sunny and clear!

"Oops!"

Cynthia was startled.

If it gets stolen in the rain, the Rakuten Kappa loses its speed advantage.

Almost at the same instant the weather shifted, Polcanion's massive cannon barrel was already aimed at the Lucky Kappa at the other end of the field! The blazing white light from the muzzle converged wildly, compressing terrifying energy!

It emitted a deep, rumbling sound—

[Polcanion used a massive fireball!]

A massive, terrifying flame, billowing with scalding steam, tore through the air like an enraged dragon and slammed into the Lucky Kappa!
That Pokémon named Volcanion seems to have an abnormally high offensive capability.

With the blessing of a sunny day, this ball of flame actually killed the Lucky Kappa instantly!
Following closely behind, Pelipper successfully attacked the two Pokémon on the other side using Surf.

As a Fire-type Pokémon, Entei is extremely effective against Water-type moves. However, in sunny weather, and given the level difference, Surf only took away two-thirds of Entei's HP.

Even more critically, the Polkadot was clearly using a fire-attribute move, yet Surf didn't trigger any super-effective warning when it hit him!
Meanwhile, Emperor Yan, bathed in the scorching sun, was engulfed in flames, his golden-red light so intense it was blinding!
It opened its enormous mouth, and another huge "大" character, burning with flames like the core of the sun, roared and crashed towards the lone bighead gull with the power to burn everything!

Even if the effect is minimal, only two-thirds of the health points disappear!

The team was completely wiped out just seconds into the game!
As the new round began, Pelipper was predictably defeated immediately.

As the battle ended, Cynthia stared blankly at her half of the arena, which had suddenly become empty. Then she looked at the two Pokémon opposite her, which were radiating terrifying pressure, and at the smile of the little boy in the straw hat. Her lips twitched slightly.

Are you sure this is a child?

As usual, the live stream chat exploded.

[Where's my Lucky Kappa? He got wiped out in a flash?!]

Why is the opponent able to use their ability to steal the weather?

[This Bolginion's damage output is terrifying!]

[The Frontier Zone is terrifying, streamer, let's go home?]

[The mythical beast guy is awesome (voice cracks)!]

[The champion's performance faltered!]

The screen was completely flooded with images, so densely packed that the image was almost impossible to see.

As the battle ended, the notification sound rang out, and Ashida slowly walked over from the side:
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, champion! It was my oversight; I forgot to mention it beforehand."

He shrugged. "The Battle Frontier is where, to increase the challenge and the element of surprise, we sometimes arrange some very special NPC trainers."

This little kid is one of them! His Pokémon skills... are certainly quite unique.

He emphasized the word "unique".
"Don't be discouraged, that's the charm of the Frontier Zone! Keep the challenge going!"

Looking at Ashida's smiling face, and then at the little boy opposite who had retrieved Entei and Volcanion and was skipping away, Cynthia felt a lump in her throat.

unique?!
You call this unique?
