Pokémon: Did you play Pokémon today?

Chapter 363 is a giant milk tank! An invincible giant milk tank! We're saved!

Celebration day.

The wind blows through the city under a clear blue sky.

The streets were already newly decorated, with colorful flags fluttering, balloons bobbing, and the air filled with the sweet aroma of baked biscuits and the joyful atmosphere unique to celebrations.

People flocked to the central square from all directions.

Children held onto floating balloons, couples smiled at each other, and vendors loudly hawked limited-edition snacks and souvenirs for the festival.

In the distance, a huge temporary stage was undergoing final adjustments, with upbeat pre-show music playing from the speakers.

Meanwhile, the white boat, waiting for the stone slabs to appear in the forest ruins, is watching all of this through real-time monitoring.

"Everything is normal."

Bai Zhou muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the heat map of the densely packed crowd in the central square.

"The calm before the storm — what an apt description."

"White Boat, Crimson, and Blue-Green are in position and patrolling the East District."

A static sound came from the communication channel, followed by Zhu Lan's calm report.

"Azure has just passed the third layer of identity verification and has now infiltrated the outer perimeter of the target base."

"Received. Have Ajin and Xiaoyin keep a close eye on the Northwest Main Road. That's where the flow of people is the largest, and the evacuation pressure will be the greatest if there's an emergency."

Bai Zhou nodded slightly.

"Also, tell them not to fight in the crowd."

Everything is ready.

They are just waiting for the "guests" to arrive.

The celebration officially began at 9:00 AM.

The mayor's enthusiastic speech was broadcast throughout the city through loudspeakers, fireworks went off, ribbons flew everywhere, and the crowd erupted in deafening cheers.

The parade began, with performers dressed as various Pokémon singing and dancing, and a giant Pikachu balloon slowly rising into the air.

The carnival atmosphere reached its first climax.

And it was at this most exciting moment that Boom!!

A loud bang suddenly came from the outlying suburbs to the southeast!

Immediately following were continuous explosions, the sound of shattering glass, and terrified screams from the crowd!

Thick smoke billowed up!

"here we go."

Bai Zhou's eyes narrowed.

Almost simultaneously with the explosion, the city’s alarm system was activated, and the piercing sound of sirens shattered the clamor of the celebration!

The pre-prepared broadcast resounded throughout the city.

"Attention citizens! Multiple emergencies have occurred within the city. Please remain calm, follow the instructions of staff, and proceed to the designated shelters in an orderly manner!"

"Repeat, this is not a drill. Proceed to the shelter immediately!"

League staff and trainers, who had been pre-arranged, acted swiftly to guide the panicked crowd to evacuate along predetermined routes.

Because of prior drills, most citizens, though panicked, did not fall into complete chaos, and the evacuation was carried out with astonishing efficiency.

"What's going on? Another drill today? It's a celebration!"

"Get out of here! Who said it was a drill! Didn't you hear the explosion?"

"It's just a realistic drill. If it were a real terrorist attack, why is our main urban area unaffected? The explosions all came from the suburbs."

"Shut up, you idiot! Look over there! That fruit stand just blew a hole in it! The people who came out were all terrorists!"

Many people followed the gaze and, sure enough, it was true.

Suddenly, seven or eight figures dressed in special black uniforms emerged from the berry stall, each accompanied by their own Pokémon.

Upon its appearance, it began indiscriminately attacking its surroundings, causing chaos among the vendors.

This scene startled many people.

"They really are terrorists!!"

"Run! Run!!!"

"Get out of the way! Let me pass! My dad is Li Gang!"

Anxiety began to spread, leading to pulling and tugging.

But the next moment.

Countless trainers who had been prepared in advance rushed out from the side, unleashing a barrage of Pokémon moves, instantly quelling the chaos.

The riots were met with a strong countermeasure the moment they broke out.

The Rainbow Rockets members, who had just been swaggering around, still didn't understand what had happened.

He only felt a blur before his eyes, and the next second he was knocked to the ground by the move, howling in pain as he was bound hand and foot.

A woman dressed in casual clothes stepped out of the crowd and nodded solemnly to the onlookers as an apology.

Then, with a wave of his hand, several Alliance police officers stepped forward and dragged the bruised and battered terrorists away like dead dogs.

crowd:""

The same scene was happening in various corners of the main urban area.

The chaos was quelled as soon as it began.

"All riot hotspots have been suppressed, all exposed Team Rainbow Rocket members have been detained, and order has been restored to most areas of the main city."

"Residents have been evacuated from most areas of the city. Except for the celebration square, where there are large crowds, there are still some scattered locations where evacuation has not yet been completed."

Zhu Lan's report came through the communicator.

Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.

But Bai Zhou frowned slightly.

It's going so smoothly —

The process of moving from the outbreak of chaos to its quelling was somewhat unrealistically idealistic.

This doesn't seem like a real riot; it's more like a —

"Scouting the way."

Bai Zhou whispered.

"Zhu Lan, speed up the evacuation. Let Chi Hong and the others prepare. I have a feeling—"

Before he could finish speaking, Azure's communication suddenly cut in!

"Brother Bai Zhou! Something terrible has happened!"

Her voice had lost its usual playfulness and was filled with a sense of urgency.

"I've just infiltrated a secret outpost! I've obtained their latest orders through their internal channels—mass intrusion, begin now!!!"

The wind blows over the city.

A clear blue sky, gone in an instant.

Dozens of enormous rifts, glowing with an eerie purple light, opened simultaneously in the sky without warning!

next moment.

Countless figures dressed in rainbow-patterned uniforms fell from the crack like dumplings being dropped into a pot!

Armed with standard energy weapons, they began indiscriminate destruction the moment their feet touched the ground or rooftops.

Explosions, flames, and screams erupted instantly in every corner of the city!

But this is just the prelude.

The truly terrifying existence followed closely behind.

A muffled roar emanated from the depths of the crack, making the glass vibrate.

Immediately afterwards, huge black shadows crashed down from the purple vortex!

A three-story residential building was crushed into ruins!

The other one crashed into the city center square, shattering the hard stone slabs and creating a giant spiderweb-like crater tens of meters in diameter!

Another one crashed in the middle of the commercial street, its massive body squeezing and deforming the shops on both sides, shattering glass, and twisting steel bars!

The King of Devourers!

One, two, three — a total of five!

As soon as they landed, they let out greedy roars.

A terrifying suction force was generated out of nowhere!

The roadside trees were uprooted and spun in the air before disappearing into that gigantic maw, needing no chewing at all.

"What...what kind of monster is that?!"

"Pokémon?! No—I've never seen anything like this before—"

"It can't be Pokémon! They look so different from Pokémon! They're monsters! Real monsters!"

"It ate an entire building in one bite! How is that possible! It's going to die! It's definitely going to die!"

"That monster is coming! Run!"

The crowd, which had just been somewhat orderly evacuated under the guidance of staff, completely collapsed!

Witnessing the Gluttony King's atrocities firsthand, even after a rehearsal of the evacuation, people still could not remain calm.

Many panicked people even broke through the diversion lines and fled in all directions to save themselves.

Countless screams erupted.

The largest of them, the Gluttonous King, has already approached a six-story residential building that has not yet been fully evacuated!

Downstairs, people scattered and fled, leaving a mess on the ground.

Inside the fifth-floor window, a small figure was perched on the windowsill, trembling with fear.

It was a little girl, about seven or eight years old, wearing a yellow Pikachu dress she had just bought at the festival.

Her face was streaked with tears, and her little hands gripped the window frame tightly, but she dared not jump down, nor did she have time to run away.

"Mommy! I want my mommy!"

The child's innocent cries sounded particularly jarring in the deathly silent street.

Those who had already escaped to safety discovered this scene and cried out in alarm.

"There are children up there! What do we do?!"

"Someone save her!! The monster is gone!!!"

"It's too late! It's already downstairs!"

Several strong young men exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and suddenly turned around and rushed back.

They are not heroes, nor do they have powerful Pokémon.

But they also have children and families.

They couldn't stand idly by when they saw the little girl leaning against the windowsill.

However, the Gluttonous King merely flicked one of his tentacles, and the resulting rubble smashed into them, leaving them bleeding from the head!

Some trainers gritted their teeth and summoned their Pokémon to attack!

Blastoise's Water Gun, Charizard's Flamethrower, Venusaur's Power Whip —

Countless attacks rained down on the Gluttonous King, but only left shallow marks on its ridiculously thick skin!

It doesn't hurt or itch at all!

"Damn it!!!"

"It's useless!!! Our attack is completely ineffective!!!"

"What on earth is that thing?!"

Despair gripped everyone's heart.

At this critical moment.

A pink figure suddenly darted out from the side!

It's a big milk tank!

Its whole body was tense, and it charged straight ahead at an astonishing speed, its body curled up into a pink, fleshy bomb.

scroll!!!

boom-

With a powerful roll, the giant milk tank slammed into the side of the Gluttonous King, which was about to devour the building, causing its massive body to stagger and shift half a step to the side!

Although it was only half a step.

But it was this half-step that caused the Gluttonous King's enormous mouth, which was about to open, to deviate from its original direction of being aimed at the window!

"Big Milk Tank, use milk to restore stamina! Then prepare to roll again!"

A girl with pigtails rushed out from the street corner, panting heavily, her eyes burning with a resolute determination that disregarded everything.

It's Xiaoxi!

The leader of the Goldenrod Gym!

The crowd suddenly erupted in cheers of surprise.

"It's Milk Tank! It's the invincible Milk Tank! We're saved!"

"I know her! She's the Gym Leader of Goldenrod City in Pokémon! That cow demon who can sweep the team with just Miltank!!!"

"Great! The gym leader has arrived!"

"Go, Akane! Kill that monster!"

"Big Milk Tank is the best!!!"

Xiaoxi heard the cheers, but she bit her lip tightly and didn't turn around.

Because she knew better than anyone that she couldn't stop it.

That full-force impact was the limit of what Milk Tank could do, and now its front legs are trembling slightly from the recoil.

The monster merely swayed.

Fortunately, its attention has already been drawn to her.

The Gluttonous King slowly turned his head, his murky eyes fixed on her and the Milk Tank, and let out a chilling roar.

Xiaoxi's hands were trembling.

But she did not back down.

Because there was a little girl in that building.

He was clearly the weakest gym leader in the Johto region —

But because of one game, it became the "ultimate" nightmare in the hearts of countless players —

Bearing this absurd expectation, she must overcome her own cowardice and live up to that trust.

Cow Demon —

That's a really awful title.

Xiaoxi took a deep breath and said to the big milk tank next to her, "One more time, big milk tank."

"Use scroll before it fully rotates!!!"

She didn't know if it would work.

All she knew was that she couldn't back down.

Just as she was about to give the order again.

Four figures descended from the sky!

"Pikachu! Quick Attack!"

"Growlithe! Lightning Speed!"

"Fire Beast! Flame Vortex!"

"Mighty Crocodile! Ice Fist!"

The commands were given simultaneously.

A golden light flashed!

Pikachu slammed into Guzzlord's jaw at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow, sending its head flying high. Arcanine followed closely behind, its body enveloped in white light.

With a spin in the air, its thick tail used the momentum to whip the unbalanced Gluttonous King, sending it tumbling sideways and crashing to the ground!

Flames appeared out of nowhere!

Following the Explosive Beast's charge, it transformed into a scorching wall of fire, trapping the Gluttonous King firmly within it!

The last figure leaped high into the air!

The crocodile's fists, gleaming with a chilling light, descended from the sky and slammed into the Gluttonous King's head, which was struggling to lift!

Click—

The ice spread instantly, freezing half of its head along with its massive mouth!

boom!!!

Dust and smoke rose up, and gravel flew everywhere.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the once arrogant Gluttonous King lay dead amidst the ruins.

His body was still twitching slightly, but he could no longer move.

"It's crimson! And greenish-blue!"

In the crowd, someone was the first to shout out those two names, their voice filled with unbelievable elation.

Immediately afterwards, more people recognized the figures among the ruins.

"Those two in the back are—ah! It's Ah Xiang and Xiao Yin! What amazing teamwork!"

"The champions are all here! Great! We're saved!"

"They even defeated that monster! No wonder they're the main characters from Pokémon! So cool!"

"Don't be afraid, everyone! Follow them! You might even see a handsome researcher!"

The crowd erupted in deafening cheers.

Hope and courage, rekindled in people's hearts by the powerful influence of role models.

The four of them originally wanted to maintain their expert demeanor and strike a cool pose.

But upon hearing the cheers from the crowd, Akin instantly broke down.

He turned around abruptly and angrily berated the enthusiastic crowd.

"My name is Ah Jin! The 'Jin' in 'Heart Gold Soul Silver' refers to me!"

"You all better remember this! It's not called Ah Xiang! You bunch of bastards! If you call me that again, I'm done with you!"

However, the more excited he became, the more excited the crowd became.

"Wow—Ah Xiang is talking to us! Ah Xiang is so handsome!"

"Hey! Can I get your autograph? I'm a huge fan of HeartGold/SoulSilver!"

"Ah-Xiang, look this way, I love you!" Ah-Jin:

C□) on |

I'm done! Let whoever wants to be the hero be it!

Qinglu and Xiaoyin turned their heads away expressionlessly, pretending not to recognize the person, and even subconsciously took two steps to the side to create distance.

Red tried hard to suppress his laughter, his shoulders trembling slightly.

He walked over, patted Ah Jin on the shoulder, and whispered something in his ear.

It was something like, "Okay, at least they didn't mistake you for someone else."

But Akin's face turned even darker.
