Chapter 202: You Mock My Purity, I Mock Your Frailty!
After hanging up the phone, Lu Li called Yao Yifei and relayed what she had said.
To be honest, Yao Yifei didn’t have much interest in the black market, as she wasn’t short on money.
“What do you think?” Yao Yifei kicked the ball back to Lu Li.
Lu Li said, “I think we can accept. Three-tenths of the black market’s profit is quite high.”
The biggest value of a black market isn’t the profit it brings, but the sales channel it provides.
Yao Yifei nodded and said, “Then let’s accept. After all, I won’t have much to do once you go to university.”
“Alright, I’ll give your number to Aunt Liu Li then.”
“Go ahead, go ahead. I’ll hang up now. Bao Bao played too late with the girl yesterday, so I need to catch up on sleep.” After saying that, Yao Yifei hung up the phone.
Lu Li: “…”
Listening to the dial tone, Lu Li felt speechless.
Playing with Bao Bao too late? Yao Yifei didn’t seem like the type to play video games.
…………
In a secret base in the America Region of the North American Alliance.
“Hehehe…”
“We succeeded! Arceus bless America!”
The old man, wearing thick glasses, excitedly looked at the special Poké Ball in his hand.
The Poké Ball before him was light purple, with two raised dark red gems on the upper hemisphere.
Freya also looked at the Poké Ball in the instrument with excitement, whispering in disbelief, “Doctor, we succeeded?”
“Yes, we succeeded.” The Doctor nodded affirmatively.
“A Poké Ball that can contain a deity.” Freya’s gaze was fervent.
【Note: It’s about containment, not forced capture. 】
In theory, as long as we can defeat that deity to a near-death state, the Master Ball can capture it, causing it to fall into a permanent sleep within the Poké Ball until it fully recovers.
“Have humans… finally gained control over deities?”
Everyone in the laboratory was incredibly excited.
However, some rational individuals did not think so.
The Poké Ball does not have a brainwashing function; as long as the divine beast inside the Poké Ball regains consciousness, it can easily break free from the Master Ball’s restraint.
However, the Master Ball has great strategic significance.
For example.
The Poké Ball can shield the Pokémon’s emitted pressure, allowing even an ordinary person to infiltrate an alliance’s interior and cause destruction with this Poké Ball.
Even more despicable, after defeating a divine beast to a near-death state and capturing it with a Master Ball, they can directly bring it into enemy alliance territory.
When the divine beast inside the Master Ball recovers, the enemy’s wrath will be directed at the opposing alliance.
This item is essentially a controllable atomic bomb, as the destructive power of a deity that controls laws is by no means comparable to a Master Level Pokémon.
Just as everyone was reveling, an unexpected event occurred.
A slender researcher suddenly grabbed the Poké Ball from the instrument, and under everyone’s astonished gaze, the researcher holding the Poké Ball instantly vanished from their spot.
The Doctor, reacting, yelled furiously, “F*ck!!! The Master Ball was stolen!”
Freya, realizing belatedly, her expression changed, and she quickly released a Psychic Type Pokémon.
“Natural Bird, did you sense any Psychic Power fluctuations? Where did that damn thief go?”
Natural Bird slightly sensed the Psychic Power fluctuations at the scene, then vanished instantly with Freya.
Border of the America Region.
Freya Russell immediately saw the researcher on the ground upon appearing.
Natural Bird glanced at him and directly said, “Although this corpse is well-preserved, the individual has been dead for at least two years.”
A moment later, Natural Bird added, “There’s an energy fluctuation shield in this area. The energy fluctuations left by the culprit disappeared here.”
Hearing this, Freya’s face instantly fell.
“Meaning, we lost them?” Freya asked through gritted teeth.
“Not entirely lost.” Natural Bird teleported to a machine.
Natural Bird said, “This is the mark of the Divine Cult.”
“Damn it! I knew it was those lunatics. But this was supposed to be a secret plan, how did those Divine Cult crazies find out? And they started laying the groundwork two years ago?” Freya cursed.
Freya, not giving up, asked, “Can’t you use Foresight to continue tracking them?”
“It’s useless. The culprit is a Psychic type themselves, and their strength is already at the Gym Level. Most importantly… they are a Champion Level Psychic Type Trainer.”
Natural Bird looked at the trainer very seriously and said, “I don’t recommend you continue investigating. The risk is too great.”
Freya is only a Heavenly King Level Trainer. The fact that the culprit only fled and didn’t kill proves they were already very restrained.
Hearing this, Freya became even more frustrated.
“We have an internal mole in our Alliance!” Freya gritted her teeth.
“How surprising.” Natural Bird rolled its eyes at its trainer.
An internal mole in the Alliance, isn’t that common knowledge?
Natural Bird comforted, “You should feel fortunate that the quality of the Master Ball’s production was not lost.”
“I wonder what the Divine Cult wants with a Master Ball.” Freya was still very worried about the Master Ball being stolen.
It’s not terrifying if the Master Ball falls into the hands of the ordinary world; what’s terrifying is if the Master Ball falls into the hands of a behemoth like the Divine Cult.
Freya, completely disheartened, said, “Let’s go back and report.”
“Oh, right. My Foresight just saw a new fragment, which you might be interested in,” Natural Bird suddenly said.
“What?”
Freya curiously looked at Natural Bird.
“I saw my mother in the future. She seems to be in the Jiuzhou Region.”
“You mean Uncle might be in the Jiuzhou Region? But didn’t he go missing during a temporal experiment? Could he have been kidnapped by people from the Jiuzhou Alliance?” Freya exclaimed.
Natural Bird shook its head, “I’m sorry, there were no images of your uncle in the future fragment I saw.”
“It seems we have to go to the Jiuzhou Region. Do you know the specific location?” Freya asked.
Natural Bird: “Southern Jiuzhou Region. I don’t know the specifics.”
Freya decisively made up her mind, “Then let’s go back and submit an application. The reason will be to pursue a fugitive from the Divine Cult.”
Natural Bird: “Whatever makes you happy.”
“Shouldn’t you be happy? After all, you’re going to see your mother?”
“I’ve never met my mother.”
“I guess she’s as dull as you, and just as boring.”
“Are you looking down on me?”
“No! I’m as boring as you, so we are natural companions.”
As a beam of light flashed, the bickering pair vanished from the room.
…………
A base in Southeast Asia.
“Pope, this is the Master Ball.”
The Pope, sitting on his throne, nodded with satisfaction and said, “You’ve worked hard, Regi.”
“Everything for the Divine Cult!” Regi looked at the old man before him fervently.
After receiving the Poké Ball, the Pope looked at it in his hand in silence.
The Pope announced, “Regi, from today onwards, you are the Holy Son of my Divine Cult.”
Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Regi’s eyes.
In the Divine Cult, the Pope is the supreme leader.
Below him are the Holy Son and Holy Maiden. The Divine Cult currently has three Holy Maidens and two Holy Sons. With him, there are now three Holy Sons.
Unlike the previous five who became Holy Maidens and Sons through talent, Regi’s achievement is entirely due to his effort, specifically the two-year infiltration mission assigned by the Pope.
“Go to America yourself and tell Plante that our Divine Cult has agreed to his request,” the Pope said, waving his hand.
A Son of Truth!
Deities controlled by humans are still not human, and the Son of Truth is still not a god. Everyone is hindering your emergence now.
The Divine Cult knew about the laboratory and the project naturally because of an internal mole.
What no one expected was that the internal mole was actually the Champion of the North American Alliance—Plante.
The terms of the transaction between the two sides were simple: the Divine Cult would eliminate the Reserve True Messenger, and the reward would be the latest technology from the North American Alliance, the Master Ball.
The Pope handed the Poké Ball to the masked woman beside him and said, “Try to see if it can be cracked.”
The masked woman, taking the Poké Ball, disappeared into the shadows.
…………
The next morning at 10 AM, the ten-into-five advancement match.
Lu Li curiously sized up the girl opposite him.
He had heard of this person.
However, the reputation he heard wasn’t good. This infamous young lady was named Long Ying, the legitimate daughter of the Long family, and she had an invincible older brother, Long Du, the current Champion of the Asian Alliance.
This villainous young lady was sixteen years old and was the center of attention in every match she participated in.
She possessed a head of long, fiery red hair that seemed to be burning. Her strands were smooth and soft, resembling a ball of flames under the sunlight, as if each strand held a mysterious power.
Her long hair cascaded casually over her shoulders, swaying gently with her movements, exuding a unique wild beauty and vitality.
Her eyes were even more captivating, a pair of narrow, phoenix-like eyes. Her gaze was as deep as a tranquil pool, and as her eyes shifted, it was as if stars twinkled, or as if ice was freezing.
Lu Li did not like her gaze. Long Ying’s eyes held a hint of cunning and disdain, as if everything in the world was insignificant in her eyes.
Especially when looking at him, Lu Li felt a sense of being offended.
Long Ying’s eyebrows were as if meticulously drawn by a brush, long and upturned, with a hint of sharpness at the brow’s peak, like a sharp sword pointing towards the sky, showcasing her unrestrained temperament and proud demeanor.
Her nose tip was slightly upturned, as if silently provoking the world, or as if proudly declaring her uniqueness.
“Your Dragon Pokémon is quite good, unfortunately, the trainer’s purity is too low.”
Long Ying began by belittling Lu Li.
Lu Li’s mouth twitched slightly. If you didn’t have a Champion older brother, you’d know how pure my “wind in both ears” is.
Looking at the arrogant Long Ying, Lu Li smiled with malice.
“Miss Long, if I recall correctly, the Grand Festival doesn’t have a rule against trainers fighting trainers, does it?”
Hearing this, Long Ying raised an eyebrow.
Then she looked at Lu Li provocatively.
“If you have the courage, you can try,” Long Ying said, looking eager.
As a wielder of Dragon Tamer Power, her physical fitness was inherently stronger than trainers of the same level.
Even if a trainer were to get into a physical fight, Long Ying wouldn’t flinch; in fact, she would eagerly anticipate it.
“Then we shall see.” Lu Li replied.
“We shall see!” After saying that, Long Ying released her Pokémon.
Long Ying’s starter Pokémon was a Deino at the Veteran Mid-stage.
Lu Li, having watched her previous matches, was not surprised.
“Tropius, you’re free to act as you please.” Lu Li stared intently at Long Ying, eager to fight.
“You really should. After all, your existence is of no use other than to drag Tropius down,” Long Ying sneered.
As she spoke, Long Ying placed her hand on Deino’s back.
Dragon Tamer Power activated!
Deino, at Veteran Mid-stage, instantly became stronger and reached Veteran Late Stage.
This is the terrifying power of Dragon Tamer Power, temporarily boosting the strength of Dragon Type Pokémon.
“Come on! I’ll beat you down today.” After doing all this, Long Ying beckoned Lu Li.
Long Ying and Lu Li had the same idea. She also didn’t intend to command Deino, but instead targeted Lu Li, the trainer.
In the viewing room, Long Du saw this and exclaimed, “It’s bad! My little sister fell for it.”
Fighting against the Rainbow Hero in terms of combat power?
The last person who did that seemed to be a Master Level Fire Type Trainer who, instead of using his Ninetales that had entered the Divine Realm, wanted to fight the trainer in a duel.
The outcome, as expected, was that the Master Level Trainer was easily defeated by the Rainbow Hero, who was only at Heavenly King Level at the time.
“You good-for-nothing student! I told you to study history properly, but you wouldn’t listen. Now you’re going to suffer!” Long Du said gleefully, watching Long Ying on the battlefield.
Almost at the same time, Tropius and Deino moved.
Tropius unleashed its full power immediately, firing Bullet Seed as if it had an inexhaustible energy supply.
Deino also had no intention of probing and immediately unleashed a full-power Dragon Breath.
Simultaneously, Lu Li shot towards Long Ying like a cannonball.
Long Ying also showed no fear. Seeing Lu Li charging directly at her, she excitedly met him.
Tropius’s Dragon Breath was successfully dodged by Flying, and Tropius’s Bullet Seed was also dodged by Deino’s Dig.
Not at the same time, both Pokémon had a clear assessment of each other in their hearts.
Sneaky little spirit!
You said a head-on confrontation, but then you flew （ and burrowed ）?
As for Lu Li’s side, it was more straightforward.
After reaching Long Ying, Lu Li swept his leg horizontally, but Long Ying blocked it with her arms.
Upon kicking something solid, Lu Li heard the sound of bones breaking. Long Ying’s expression changed instantly as she felt the immense power from her arms.
Just as she was about to change her move, her arms felt the pain of torn muscles.
Lu Li changed his move, supporting himself with his right hand on the ground and sweeping his left leg, landing on her posterior.
Through the previous collision, Lu Li knew the approximate level of the opponent and deliberately held back, not kicking Long Ying away.
Although the “Falling Goose” pose with its rear end facing forward is quite ugly, it is only strong in its insult.
“Is my purity enough?” Lu Li asked Long Ying, who was lying on the ground.
