Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

As it pondered this, it started grinning foolishly again.

The only one still inside the Poké Ball, the single sword sheath, looked at the three outsiders through the red part. Being serious, it didn't jump out at this moment, but the look in its single eye as it looked at the outside world changed.

If I had to put it in a way... it was like being on a ghost ship, watching those Ghost-type Pokémon figuring out how to play a 'prank'.

...

"A trainer can only register one Pokémon. If the Pokémon loses its battle ability, it's considered a failure... Hmm~"

Alice lay on the soft bed, her thin white nightgown covering the girl's beautiful curves, revealing glimpses of parts that she wouldn't normally show to anyone in this space where she was all alone.

Her hair had just been dried; it was fluffy and had a pleasant fragrance.

Just then, Alice's bangs, which had somehow grown longer, brushed across her fair forehead and fell in front of her eyes, diverting her attention from the few lines of the rulebook she was reading. She casually grabbed a strand of hair.

"The color has faded again. It seems that my hair will soon turn golden, just like the doctor said."

"This in the end is why?"

Alice didn't understand.

However, she didn't care that much. After casually brushing her hair aside, her gaze returned to the rulebook.

There are fewer than ten rules for this cheating competition. If we exclude some rules that were created by certain contestants in previous competitions to address particularly outrageous situations, there are fewer than five proper rules!

And it's not very detailed.

Alice, who already loved studying tactics, had already come up with countless plans just by looking at this rulebook.

She is different from Luo Ke.

She had decided that if she had any Pokémon, she would definitely participate, ever since she was so impressed when she first watched the competition.

Moreover, she watched every single cheating competition she had ever participated in.

Under such circumstances, she naturally considered many ideas while waiting.

but...

"I guess I'll pass on cheating."

Alice rolled over in bed and casually placed the rulebook on the bedside table.

She was lying on the bed, letting her hair fall loosely on the pillow, staring straight at the ceiling. Even though she pursed her lips, she couldn't hide the joy on her face!

"When the time comes, I will use tactics, command, and strategy to win the victory honorably!"

"And my opponents along the way will unleash their imaginations, make full use of everything they have, and use all sorts of tricks to try and stop me!"

what--

"Just thinking about sparring with so many interesting opponents is so exciting I can't sleep!"

Compared to Luo Ke, this one is even more of a battle maniac!

In mid-air, a small red dream demon looked at Alice, its eyes crinkling as it chuckled.

The black bead on its neck, which was originally used to absorb fear, was now operating at full power!

It's not just a different color.

Unlike ordinary dream demons that can only absorb the fear of others as nourishment, it can absorb not only fear but also the happiness emanating from others!

And the conversion rate is much higher than fear!

The reason it decided to leave the ghost ship and crawl directly into Alice's backpack was because after meeting Alice, it repeatedly sensed extremely pure and immense joy from her!

This is a massive number it has never seen before in a place like the Ghost Ship.

That's why it chose Alice and became her third fairy.

and...

Although Alice will be challenging the Dark Continent Gym next, and her Lapras will be the main force, for the Cheating Contest—Alice has decided to send out this little Misdreavus!

...

A huge, dark office located high up.

The man, sitting in his office chair with the back of the chair facing the main entrance, spoke in a deep voice.

"Go on, and take what I gave you."

"Although I am different from those mediocre people and do not need others to help me develop how to use my work, I still need to do a good job of advertising if I want to attract their attention."

"So use my stuff to defeat all your opponents and win this childish game."

As he spoke, another man, dressed in a black suit, with his hair neatly styled and exuding an air of sophistication, stood in front of the desk and slightly lowered his head.

"I understand, Doctor."

He was holding a crystal in his hand, the one the doctor had given him.

If Luo Ke were here, he would recognize it at a glance—this is a Z crystal!

However, unlike the Z-pure crystal that Luo Ke was looking for, which had pure internal energy, the power inside this crystal was extremely chaotic!

Completely opposite to Z Pure Crystal!

Even so, because of this, this crystal, which contains a mixture of powers from all attributes, has more than twenty times the power of a regular Z-crystal. But if Luo Ke were to see this, he would probably throw it away with considerable disdain.

After all, whether it was the experience he gained from playing games in his previous life or his real-life experience in this life, the power of the Z-Crystal and the resonance of the corresponding attribute moves, the huge improvement that transformed from quantitative change to qualitative change after they were all transformed together, was the right path in his eyes.

Even if this rare little piece of junk has a little more energy inside, it's still far inferior to Z-pure crystal.

At best, it's just a superior alternative to those attribute gems.

It can't compare to Z Pure Crystal at all!

However, for the man, just thinking that the doctor had a way to guide out the enormous energy contained within the crystal filled him with admiration as he looked at the doctor.

And he knew that, even so, the doctor still said that this technology had flaws.

The reason is that only with crystals of this particularly chaotic nature can the Doctor's method draw out their power. Crystals that are not chaotic enough, or rare junk crystals containing only a single attribute, are useless to the Doctor's method.

But from a man's perspective, what kind of flaw is that!?

The power contained within this chaotic crystal is dozens of times greater than that of other crystals. It is already a tremendous success that the best crystal can be made to work!

A PhD is a genius!

And the thought of the doctor's plan ignited a fanaticism in the man's eyes. It was as if a believer had seen his god!

He believed more than anyone else that the doctor would succeed.

so...

Bearing the responsibility of being a doctor, he could not allow himself to fail!

He's practically guaranteed to win this competition!

53. Cheating Contest

Having decided to participate, there are some issues that need to be addressed.

So Rocco sat cross-legged on the bed, then took out the scabbard and lined it up with Ditto and Victini in front of him, as if giving them a military drill.

But Rocco prepared small cushions for Ditto and Victini, and even symbolically placed a sword stand over the monocle, which meant that the monocle's single eye had been half-open since the beginning, staring at Rocco without uttering a sound.

Luo Ke probably knew he hadn't done anything good, so he didn't meet the gaze of the sword sheath, and even closed his eyes before slowly speaking.

"Alright, now that we've agreed that Ditto will transform into my form and stand in the Trainer's position, and then I'll take the field—there are a few things we need to discuss."

"When trainers battle, the trainer arrives and then releases their Pokémon to enter the battle. But of course, I can't go inside a Poké Ball, so we need to decide on the way they enter the battle."

"Secondly, since Alice said that the initial purpose of this cheating contest was to test all sorts of random items, then unlike the gym battle where I had you all bring Assault Vests, Priority Claws, and Ghost Z, and Changshan also had his Pokémon bring items that passively boost stats..."

At this point, Rocco's face darkened, and he finally looked at his elves.

"...This time, all sorts of bizarre and unusual props will appear!"

Hearing Rocco say this, Victini blinked her big, sapphire-like eyes and looked at Rocco with some confusion.

'Tini?'

This time it did not connect with Rocco's mind, but Rocco still understood its meaning.

“Victini, I know you think that as long as I'm on the field, all methods and tools are meaningless under absolute numerical advantages.”

“I don’t deny your point of view. Although I don’t think I should be mythologized like this, to those elves who don’t even reach the level of Elite Four—what difference is there between me and a god?”

"Even if I am afflicted with various abnormal statuses and all my attributes are reduced to the minimum, they still cannot be my match and cannot stop me from winning."

Upon hearing Rocco's words, Victini nodded repeatedly, and Scabbard also agreed. Ditto, on the other hand, excitedly opened its mouth, raised its hands, and waved them around.

"but!"

"You've all underestimated this cheating contest!"

Roco suddenly made a loud noise, which made Victini and Ditto quiet down. Sheath immediately fell into deep thought, his eyes solemn and extremely serious.

Before it could even figure out what could have made someone as strong as Luo Ke so serious, Luo Ke had already pulled out the rulebook for the cheating competition from behind him!

Luo Ke simply ignored the few serious rules in the rulebook and didn't even mention them.

He pointed directly at those highly targeted rules!

"Look at this—it's forbidden to play dirty, smelly, or disgusting games during the competition!"

"The existence of this rule means that someone must have cheated in previous matches..."

Before Rocco could finish speaking, Victini flew over and covered Rocco's mouth with its little paws, stopping him from continuing!

After they finish discussing this, they'll have a late-night snack!

Don't say things like that at a time like this!

Despite their attempts to stop them, Victini and the others clearly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Yes...they've oversimplified this game!

Without a doubt, this is also a competition, a war!

They need to seriously consider this!

...

Cheating contest in Baping City.

Despite its unconventional name, the popularity of this entertainment event is unimaginable.

Tickets sell out in advance every year. As a result, the venue for the cheating competition has changed from the initial medium-to-large venue to the current venue – the largest competition venue in Baping City, Tianjing!

This venue was built by the alliance years ago when it was Baping City's turn to host the King of Kings Tournament.

After that competition, this enormous venue was imbued with an aura of glory. Any event qualified to be held here is invariably the most prestigious competition in Baping City!

So in the past two years, more and more contestants have participated in cheating competitions, and while they are getting stronger, they are also becoming more and more unscrupulous!

After all, who in their right mind would participate in this kind of competition?

This situation has also increased the entertainment value and program effect of cheating competitions year by year, and every year a few 'genius contestants' with brain circuits different from normal people are born!

Therefore, even players who have achieved certain results in other competitions and whose skills are considered decent by professional trainers have to be 1,000% serious and cautious when participating in this kind of competition!

After all, each trainer can only send out one Pokémon, and if they lose, they are eliminated, leaving no room for error!

If you happen to run into someone who perfectly counters you with some weird combination, then you can say goodbye to this year's competition!

When these rules are applied to formal competitions, they are not only too unbalanced, but also present numerous problems.

But in this kind of entertainment competition—the rules with huge unpredictability are what foster the creation of all sorts of memorable moments.

Along the way up the mountain, Luo Ke observed the stone statues, steles, and cliffs around the path, gradually learning about the past champions through the records recorded in these things.

After he had completely climbed the mountain, what appeared before him was a huge meeting place carved out like a sculpture in the middle of this flat-topped mountain – the courtyard!

The stadium is located inside a mountain with its roof open. The stands are eight layers high, surrounding the edge of the stadium. As far as the eye can see, there is a dense, dark mass of people, countless in number, like a sea of ​​sand.

Compared to ordinary stadiums, such a huge venue naturally has more space to set up more powerful protective devices. There is even a unique sky simulation system above this huge protective wall!

This is a system that is essential for large-scale competitions, separating the sky inside the arena from the sky outside the arena to prevent the audience from being directly affected when the Pokémon changes the weather.

Although there were already many spectators inside, even more were still queuing to enter.
