Pokémon: Did you play Pokémon today?

Chapter 209 "Intruders! Eradicate!!!"

"I know who Mr. Saltfish is looking for! It's Mewtwo! It's definitely Mewtwo! I'll never forget that unique voice!"

"What exactly is this 'destructive gene'? Why can it attach to my body and even make Mewtwo's voice heard?!"

It looks terrifying!

"So Mewtwo has been hiding in the starting village ever since he left Saffron City? No wonder the online strategy guides couldn't find any information about him after searching for so long. Who would have thought?"

"Wait a minute! Could it be that Saltfish-sensei came all this way to find Mewtwo to forge a bond with it?! After all, he said before that he needed to prepare for the final challenge!"

"Wow! It really seems to be true! He went to the handsome researcher's room specifically to get a medicine that can cure genetic defects, and then came to find Mewtwo, which just happens to be a Pokémon created through genetic experiments! You don't need to say more about what Mr. Salty is up to, right?"

"Hiss, now that you mention it—but isn't this gene serum a tool for dealing with future crises?"

Wait a minute! Holy crap! Could it be that the notebook is about dealing with Mewtwo from another world?! That's terrifying to think about!

Mewtwo's unique telepathic connection, tinged with a hint of painful struggle, resonated throughout the game, instantly igniting a heated discussion in the live stream chat.

In just a short while, someone actually guessed Bai Zhou's true purpose for this trip by relying on clues and a strong ability to make connections.

It even goes further, connecting to the vague information in the notebook about the Rainbow Rockets' future crisis.

Bai Zhou was truly impressed by the players' creativity and reasoning abilities.

But he doesn't have time to pay attention to these things right now.

In the game, the "destructive genes" on Xiao Chi's arm, which wriggle like living things and seem to have their own life, are becoming increasingly unstable.

The ominous purplish-black light it emitted flickered and flashed violently.

Even the telepathic connection between Mewtwo and the telepaths was delayed and distorted to some extent.

"Run! Get away! I can't control myself anymore! Run!"

A gradually weakening, intermittent, and painfully struggling superdream perception.

Instead of succeeding in dissuading Red from retreating, it only strengthened his resolve to find Mewtwo immediately, understand the situation, and offer assistance.

"Teacher Saltyfish! I've found Mewtwo's location! Its energy is over there!"

Red looked at the Mewtwo outline mark on the black-and-white game screen, which had become clearer due to the disruption of the genetic resonance, and immediately reported the direction to White Boat.

At the same time, he controlled Little Red to plunge headlong into the dense forest next to him without hesitation, running straight toward the marker.

Shirashu wanted to say something like "act cautiously," "there might be guards," or "make a plan."

But seeing Crimson charging forward like a runaway Tauros, unable to be restrained, he could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

With a somewhat speechless sigh, he controlled Little White and quickly chased after it, following the path forcibly carved out by Little Red, the "human road-clearing machine."

The two characters traverse the forest at high speed, crossing a thicket of bushes and wading through a clear stream.

The outline of a building that looked abandoned for many years, with peeling paint and covered in vines, appeared in the game screen.

But the condition of this building has an indescribable eeriness about it.

Although it is generally dilapidated, some key parts are clearly visible.

For example, the main gate, parts of the walls, and the roof show signs of rough but sturdy renovation and reinforcement.

The contrast between the old and the new is extremely stark, making it seem out of place with the surrounding pristine natural environment and full of artificial sense of separation.

Before Akane could even control Little Akane to try and push open the heavy-looking door, a series of dense rustling sounds suddenly rang out from all around!

From the dense grass on both sides of the road and the deep shadows of the woods, silent figures slowly emerged, completely surrounding the two people and the clearing they had just stepped into.

Lv.60喷火龙、Lv.56风速狗、Lv.55尼多王、Lv.55快龙、Lv.53袋兽、Lv.52

Strange power——

None of these Pokémon are below level 50, and their strength is comparable to the ace of the regional gym leader!

Their eyes were vacant and lacked any lively spirit, yet they exuded a unified and powerful sense of oppression, silently blocking the only path that Little Red and Little White could take to the building's main entrance.

They all assumed silent fighting stances.

The appearance of such a group of Pokémon of this level and composition in Pallet Town, the starting village, is quite outrageous.

This also indirectly illustrates a harsh reality.

With the strength and team level of ordinary players in the early stages, it would be impossible to break through this defense line and reach this hidden building.

Although these Pokémon did not immediately launch an attack, their attitude was very clear: this path was blocked.

"Everyone, make way! We're here to find Mewtwo! Something's really wrong with it! We need to help it!"

Seeing this, Crimson grew even more anxious.

Mewtwo's behavior was very similar to how it nearly went berserk and out of control in Saffron City last time.

Considering the special item "gene serum" that Bai Zhou had just obtained, he became even more convinced of this.

Time is life!

The fact that these Pokémon didn't attack directly suggests there might still be room for communication. We must try to avoid unnecessary battles to save precious time.

"Don't waste your energy, Crimson."

Bai Zhou sensed the urgency in Chi Hong's tone and explained somewhat helplessly:

"They are now all controlled by the powerful mental energy emanating from Mewtwo, and their sole purpose is to stop any creature that tries to approach it and protect it from disturbance."

He paused, his tone becoming serious.

"And you guessed right, Mewtwo is indeed nearing its limit. The pain and power surge caused by the collapse at the genetic level are not something it can easily control. Our purpose here is to solve this problem."

Shirashu had intended to warn Akane before even arriving here.

This area is guarded by Pokémon controlled by Mewtwo's psychic powers. It's best to try to sneak in quietly by utilizing the environment, avoiding alerting the Pokémon and wasting precious time.

Unfortunately, Red, being an extremely impatient person, became flustered upon seeing that Mewtwo might be in trouble, and didn't give him a chance to formulate a thorough plan.

Like a protagonist in a shonen manga, he charged straight in with boundless enthusiasm and instinct.

Now they've been cornered and are forced into a situation where they have no choice but to fight.

"Damn it! Since we can't communicate, we'll just have to break through as quickly as possible!"

Upon hearing Bai Zhou's confirmation, the last trace of hesitation in Chi Hong's eyes disappeared, and he decisively changed his approach!

Every second is precious now!

As dazzling lights lit up one after another, a powerful aura swept out instantly!

Lv.74喷火龙！Lv.75皮卡丘！Lv.72蚊香泳士！Lv.71卡比兽！Lv.70化石翼龙！Lv.70伊布！

And—a Lv.75 Moltres naturally surrounded by sacred flames!

The crimson All-Star team makes its full appearance at this moment!

As soon as the Moltres appears, the blazing flames that naturally surround its body instantly evaporate the moisture in the air.

A scorching wave of air erupted from its center, spreading outwards and crashing into the Pokémon blocking its path, causing them to stir.

The other Pokémon also let out low growls, their eyes sharp, ready to unleash a thunderous attack at any moment!

The live stream chat was instantly captivated by the impressive lineup and the outrageous level of the characters, erupting in incredulous exclamations.

"No one's level has consistently been below 70! That's comparable to the ace players of the League's Four Heavenly Kings! Crimson Legend, are you living in the game?! Don't you care about your health?!"

"Don't the experience points required for higher-level Pokémon increase exponentially? My level 60 Snorlax only leveled up 2 times after a whole weekend of grinding! How did Red build this team? Did they really just grind it out of sheer willpower?"

"That yellow-skinned mouse is already level 75! The same level as the legendary Pokémon Moltres! It's invincible! How much does Red Legends really love it? They must be pouring all their resources into it!"

"The previous part isn't entirely about grinding. There are actually quite a few powerful NPC trainers to challenge in the game, and the experience points gained from defeating them are far greater than those from wild monsters. Who would be foolish enough to rely solely on farming wild Pokémon to level up their main team?"

"Don't tell me! You think I don't want to challenge those powerful NPCs hiding on the roadside? I just can't win!"

If I had the strength of the Crimson Boss, would I still need to grind levels like crazy?

"Red Legend is really inhuman! He's a Battle Legend in real life, and he still manages to level up his Pokémon to such an absurd level in the game—no wonder he chose the 'Very Easy' difficulty? (laughing and crying)"

"Dude! Isn't the focus right now Mewtwo?! Even Teacher Salty said Mewtwo is about to go berserk!"

"At that point, not only Moltres, but everyone will be finished! You've all seen how outrageous Mewtwo's destructive power was in the story! That's a difference that level can't bridge!"

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

Bai casually dropped this sentence, completely irresponsible.

"Remember to resolve this friendly exchange quickly! I won't disturb your sparring; I'll go find Mewtwo and chat with it, check on its condition!"

Before he could finish speaking, the little white creature he was controlling suddenly ducked down.

Target the opponent's Pokémon, and create a momentary commotion due to Moltres's imposing aura!

It's now!

A clean, crisp, and near-perfect sliding tackle!

It slid directly through the gap between the two Pokémon, successfully breaking through the defense, and disappeared into the open door of the abandoned building in a flash!

All that was left was Crimson, who hadn't expected White Boat to be so "uncivilized" and run away, and the Pokémon that had just ended their standoff and were about to start fighting.

"Ah—Teacher Salty Fish, how could you do this! Wait for me! You can't eat alone!"

Red let out a wail in the voice chat, wanting to imitate him, and controlled Little Red to try to break through with a slide tackle.

However, by sheer coincidence, his sliding tackle landed precisely at—

That's exactly where the opponent's level 60 Charizard was standing.

Little Red bumped headfirst into Charizard's strong, warm embrace, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

Little Red: "—"

Charizard: "—Roar?!"

Charizard looked down at the human who had thrown himself into its arms and disturbed its guard duty, its gaze quickly escalating from hostility to "You're courting death."

Oops!

Crimson knew something was wrong; cold sweat was about to break out on his back.

Seeing their trainer surrounded by the other team's Pokémon, the Crimson Pokémon were instantly furious!

"Pikachu!!"

Pikachu took the initiative, its cheek pouches bursting with dazzling golden light as it unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt attack directly at the opposing formation!

The Charizard immediately opened its huge mouth and spewed out scorching flames!

With a clear cry, the firebird unleashed a wave of holy flames that swept across the land!

The battle erupted in full force amidst the explosions of skills and the roars of Pokémon!

Listening to the constant, mournful shouts coming from the voice channel as Crimson frantically directed the battle.

Having successfully infiltrated the building, Bai Zhou smiled knowingly, focusing intently on controlling Xiao Bai as they continued their exploration deeper into the building along the quiet corridor.

In stark contrast to its dilapidated exterior, the interior of the building was surprisingly clean and tidy.

Various high-end experimental instruments were neatly arranged, and the corridor was brightly lit, making it look like a large, secret experimental field that was still in operation.

bang

A dull metallic clang and a strange sound of energy explosion came from deep within the building, causing the ground beneath their feet to tremble slightly.

Bai Zhou, without stopping his actions, immediately controlled Xiao Bai to run quickly towards the core area where dangerous noises were constantly emanating.

As the destructive sounds grew louder and more intense, Xiaobai finally rushed into a space resembling an indoor battlefield.

Upon entering the venue, a striking scene immediately came into view.

In the center of the field, there was a complete mess.

Everywhere there were charred marks and deep pits!

The source of all this was Mewtwo, which was suspended in mid-air!

At this moment, Mewtwo's eyes had completely lost their usual calmness, leaving only rage and endless pain.

It held its hands high, and a shadow sphere of extremely terrifying size, constantly twisting and expanding, was frantically gathering energy, emitting a heart-palpitating destructive wave!

Then, as if venting his anger, he flung the terrifying shadow orb haphazardly.

It indiscriminately unleashed its rampaging energy and boundless destructive desires upon everything around it!

The previous explosions and sounds of destruction came from this!

At the same moment that Xiaobai rushed into the battlefield, Mewtwo's ferocious senses immediately detected this uninvited guest who had entered its "domain".

The next moment, it turned its head, its empty and fierce eyes fixed on Xiaobai!

"Intruders! Eradicate them!!!"

The terrifying torrent of mental energy in its hand, almost tangible, spun wildly in its palm, ready to erupt at any moment as a mental shock that could destroy everything!

Bai Zhou calmly watched this scene, while Ting Xin spoke up:

"Mewtwo! Calm down! I'm here to talk—"

Holy crap! No sportsmanship whatsoever!!!
