Pokémon: Did you play Pokémon today?

Chapter 260 Pokémon All-Round Competition!

"wrong!"

Bai Zhou suddenly realized something, his face darkened, and he shouted at the Pokémon that were frolicking and chasing each other in the courtyard, "It's dinnertime! You guys! Go eat first! You can play after you finish eating!"

His cries were like stones sinking into the sea, having little effect.

The reason is simple: most of the Pokémon in the garden are obviously having a great time playing and are not responding much to the usual call to "eat".

At most, they would glance back at him, and then continue to devote themselves to their respective "important undertakings".

Finally, after a helpless sigh, he pulled out several boxes of "Absolutely Perfect" energy cubes that shimmered with a dreamlike seven-colored luster.

The situation suddenly reversed!

An indescribable, alluring fragrance, mixed with pure and gentle energy fluctuations, spread like invisible ripples to every corner of the courtyard!

The Pokémon, who were playing wildly just a second ago, froze in unison!

Every head, regardless of size, turned toward the boxes of energy cubes in Bai Zhou's hand, which exuded a deadly allure!

His eyes shone with a light brighter than the stars!

Amidst excited shouts, the little ones who had just been indifferent to eating immediately abandoned their playtime.

They eagerly yet with a strange sense of order gathered obediently in front of the extra-large dining table prepared for them in the courtyard.

They all sat ramrod straight, their eyes fixed on Bai Zhou without blinking.

For the time being, the "rebellion" was quelled with "delicious food".

that is----

The effect of this "perfect" energy cube seems a bit...

That's too good.

Almost every Pokémon, after eagerly eating its share, is instantly drawn into some kind of exquisitely beautiful illusion.

Their faces beamed with happiness, bliss, and even a touch of nausea, their eyes glazed over.

Then----

Pfft!

Pfft!Pfft!

One after another, the Pokémon went limp, snoring contentedly or dreaming, and collapsed to the ground, falling into a coma.

The courtyard was instantly filled with people "lying down," leaving only the even breathing sounds and the lingering enticing aroma in the air.

"Is...is this really just an energy cube?"

Standing to the side, Qinglu stared in disbelief at the spectacular sight before her, her voice trembling slightly.

As a legendary breeder, he sees Energy Cubes as nothing more than a well-made regular nutritional supplement or a high-end snack.

The taste was just so-so.

At most, it can efficiently replenish a Pokémon's stamina and consumed energy.

But what did he see now?!

How could an energy cube possibly have this effect—like a mixture of hypnotic gas and a happiness potion?!

Moreover, with his keen senses as a top breeder, he can clearly "see" it.

While these Pokémon are "in a coma," their internal energy is steadily increasing at a remarkable rate!

This completely overturned his understanding of power cubes!

Qinglu subconsciously swallowed, her eyes filled with unprecedented shock as she looked at Baizhou.

Brother Bai Zhou —

Has the cultivation path already silently led us to this inconceivable state?!

He can even make the most basic energy cube look so amazing!

"It can even safely promote energy growth —"

Qinglu suppressed the turmoil in her heart and looked at Baizhou with a mix of joking and seriousness, her tone filled with sincere admiration.

"Brother Bai Zhou, I think the title of 'Nurturer' is more suitable for you. My abilities are really not worthy of the name."

Crimson, Silver, Christal, and the others watching this amazing scene nodded in agreement.

Looking at the energy cubes that Bai Zhou casually took out, gleaming with extraordinary light, they all felt it was somewhat unreal.

Ah Jin, the boldest and most curious among them, couldn't contain himself any longer.

While Bai Zhou wasn't paying attention, he secretly "snatched" a small piece of energy cube debris from beside an unconscious Mariluru.

He shoved it into his mouth with lightning speed, wanting to personally experience what kind of magic this thing possessed—

Then----

Then he felt an overwhelming sense of happiness wash over his taste buds and brain like a tsunami!

"Hmm—good, good—blessing—like—like lying—lying—Zzz—"

His eyes rolled back instantly, a silly grin involuntarily spread across his lips, his body swayed, and he fell straight backward.

Clang!

Gold lay firmly on the floor, joining the ranks of the Pokémon who were "in a coma"!

If it weren't for Xiao Yin's quick reflexes, who silently squatted down and "gently" slapped his face twice to wake him up.

He could probably linger in that exquisite dream until dinner was over.

"What are you all doing gathered around the Pokémon table?"

Bai Zhou looked at the various expressions on the faces of the people gathered around the Pokémon dining table, and pointed speechlessly to the other side of the courtyard.

"Are you trying to steal our food too? Our table is over there! If we don't go over there soon, Xiao Lan, who's in charge of plating, is probably going to really lose her temper."

Bai Zhou was actually a little dumbfounded.

Of course, he also had something to say.

Forget about training or anything like that; he's just a decent cook at best.

Aside from his impressive energy cube crafting skills, his other cultivation knowledge is simply inadequate compared to a true genius like Qinglv.

There was not much delay.

Bai Zhou led them to the dining table and they took their seats, where a sumptuous dinner officially began.

Because there were many people and it was lively today, Bai Zhou put on his best cooking skills and prepared a total of eight dishes and a soup.

They even went so far as to exchange some rare and hard-to-find ingredients with Xiao A, creating a feast that was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, comparable to a top-tier restaurant.

Everyone enjoyed the meal. The table was bustling with activity as people chatted about their experiences and interesting stories, filled with laughter and joy.

The moon sets behind the western mountains, stars twinkle, and the night deepens.

Bai Zhou looked at A Jin, who seemed a little drunk from drinking too much Moo Moo milk, and started recklessly showing off Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver to Green and Red.

He knew this guy was about to be in big trouble.

Sure enough, after dinner...

In the backyard arena, Akin "voluntarily" accepted "forced instruction battles" from the two legendary battlers, Blue and Red.

In an instant, the backyard was in chaos, with screams, cries of pain, and the sounds of Pokémon clashing.

Bai Zhou did not stop this "friendly exchange," but instead crossed his arms and leaned against the porch.

He watched the lively scene with great interest, a smile playing on his lips, while simultaneously pondering his next course of action.

Following the Longcheng incident, due to the widespread attention and discussion it sparked, his current BP points reserve has reached over 12,000.

They could be considered to have made a "small fortune".

However, this amount of BP points is simply not enough to cover the potential threats he faces.

According to Shirafusa's speculation, although Rainbow Sakaki is not dead, he is not far from it.

His dream of domination was shattered by three punches, and he was seriously injured. At least for the next period of time, he will not be able to personally cause trouble.

Even so, the pressure from the behemoth Team Rainbow Rockets on Bai Zhou was still immense.

God knows how many hidden cards their crazy organization still holds.

Even creatures like the Crimson Flame Pine and the Water Wutong Tree, which should have disappeared into the turbulent flow of time and space, can be found by them.

The other Rainbow Rocket Team executives, Team Galaxy, Team Plasma—those guys might just be able to be recruited and integrated again!

Therefore, this precious period of "peace" is coming.

Bai Zhou must race against time to improve his immediate combat strength as quickly as possible and accumulate enough resources.

Currently, he has over 12,000 BP points, which can be used in three main ways to quickly increase his combat power.

One option is to continue calling on the old buddies.

This remains the fastest and most direct way to enhance top-tier combat power.

However, the only drawback of this method is that the starting price is too high.

Summoning the core requires 10,000 BP points. To form an effective fighting force capable of countering the senior executives of Team Rainbow Rocket or even Giovanni, an investment of at least 50,000 BP points is needed.

Bai Zhou doesn't have that much savings right now, so he really can't afford it and has to pass for now.

Another approach is to use the BP points currently saved to restore Zygarde's core power and enhance its combat strength.

But in reality, it's not really necessary at the moment.

Firstly, it can "borrow" Zygarde cells from this world to temporarily restore some of its strength.

Before being discovered and approached by the "native" Zygarde of this world, this was an incredibly profitable business.

Secondly, a deposit of over 10,000 BP points is a significant amount for an existence of Zygarde's level in its complete form.

Investing in it won't improve your strength much, so it's not cost-effective and there's no need for it for now.

The last resort is to make things difficult for the little ones.

Let them grow up quickly!

Although it certainly won't be able to reach the world-destroying power of legendary Pokémon in the short term and participate in top-level battles.

But at the very least, they should be made capable of protecting themselves in a crisis and even assisting in combat as soon as possible.

In this way, Bai Zhou can focus on handling more matters without having to constantly worry about protecting them.

With that thought in mind, Bai Zhou no longer hesitated and his consciousness sank into the system.

With a wave of his hand, he left 3000 points as emergency reserve funds and deducted 9000 BP points!

These points were used to supplement and improve the Kanto region in the "Dream World," turning it into a dedicated training ground.

This allows the little ones to engage in high-intensity combat simulations and skill training.

The training effects of the Dream World have been fully demonstrated on Ralts last time.

In just one night, it not only successfully evolved into Kirlia, but its combat experience and control over its psychic powers also improved by more than one level.

The results were remarkable.

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long—"

Bai Zhou let out a soft breath and glanced across the courtyard.

However, when he saw the scene next to the battlefield in the courtyard, the "heavy" emotion he had just been building up instantly dissipated, replaced by a moment of silence.

At this moment, the no-rules battle between Akin and Crimson has entered a white-hot stage.

Akin constantly moved flexibly, looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Crimson continued to throw steady punches, looking for an opportunity to deliver a powerful blow.

For a moment, the scene seemed strangely evenly matched.

What made Bai Zhou even more speechless was...

Gengar, that little rascal, somehow managed to get his hands on a small notebook and a pen.

He was calling out to Kirlia and Young Gilas, and squatting down in the best viewing area next to the battlefield, looking quite serious.

Its chubby paws held a pen, and it quickly made notes on the paper, its big eyes even revealing a fanatical research look.

When the emotions got too intense, he couldn't help but let out ghostly shouts of "Yang ga! Yang ga!", acting like a professional atmosphere-setter and sideline technical advisor.

All right----

Bai Zhou rubbed his temples.

It seems the plan to make these guys "suffer" is indeed a long and arduous task, but it doesn't seem that heavy-hearted.

Letting it train in the dream world, isn't that a kind of reward for it?

Attention is returning to assets.

Although I only have 3000 BP points left, I feel a bit strapped for cash.

The good news is that development of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver is complete, and all that's left is the final release.

Once the licensing issues for the character images of the various Gym Leaders and important NPCs involved in the game are resolved, Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver can be launched to the market immediately.

With the current reputation and popularity of the Pokémon series, it will soon bring him another considerable amount of BP.

Points income.

However, the only problem that gave him a headache was—

If we follow the usual procedure, we would visit each dojo and dojo one by one to seek authorization from each dojo master.

That's far too inefficient and wastes too much time and energy.

"Sigh, if only the museum owners could all gather together like today, allowing me to resolve all the authorization issues at once, that would be perfect —"

Bai Zhou pinched his chin, pondering with some trouble.

While this game was unfolding, the "guidance game" over there finally came to a conclusion.

Unsurprisingly, Akin was once again thoroughly humiliated by Red's "friendly" combo, losing all his strength.

Combat capabilities.

"That wretched little Red! I refuse to accept this!"

Ah Jin lay on the ground, panting, but still stubbornly refused to admit defeat.

"If you're so capable—if you're so capable, come with me to the Pokémon All-Round Championship next week! I definitely won't lose to you there!"

'

"Pokémon All-Round Competition?"

Akaya put away his stance and repeated it thoughtfully.

To be honest, he had participated in various formal competitive tournaments, but he had never experienced this kind of competitive event that emphasized fun and overall ability. It sounded like—

It's quite interesting.

Meanwhile, Bai Zhou, who was struggling with the authorization issue, suddenly lit up when he heard the keywords "competitive game"!

Yup!

Pokémon All-Round Competition!

Such a large-scale event will definitely attract a lot of trainers, and even many Johto Gym Leaders may go to watch the event or serve as guests!

Isn't this—

A perfect opportunity for a chance encounter and a chance to solve a problem involving blindfolded individuals?!
