Chapter 168 - Chapter 168: Mauville City Power Plant

At night, Qing Wu released the Libra Puppets from their Poké Balls.

Sandshrew, indeed, had full psychic power. It communicated with the Libra Puppets using its psychic ability, and the Libra Puppets surrounded Sandshrew, spinning around it. The vast psychic power enveloped Sandshrew's entire body, making it impenetrable.

Qing Wu saw Illumi's head emerging from behind, biting his fingers, his eyes gleaming fiercely as he watched Sandshrew surrounded by the Libra Puppets.

(O.O)

Qing Wu somehow felt a jealousy from Illumi that churned like a raging ocean.

This jealousy was so intense it seemed to reach the Libra Puppets' heads. Was Illumi truly feeling that his own real master was being eclipsed?

No way, he doesn't usually show this kind of behavior, Qing Wu thought, rubbing his forehead.

After the Libra Puppets communicated with Sandshrew, they became auspicious objects in the cultivation room. They would disguise themselves as antiquities in the cultivation room's shop.

Once a thief intruded into the cultivation room's shop, they would unleash the power of the Libra Puppets, which had been transformed into war machines.

The Libra Puppets also unleashed endless psychic power, turning the cultivation room's shop into a psychic sanctuary.

Qing Wu observed that the Libra Puppets had a certain arrangement order, described in the psychic secret scroll as an "array formation."

After the Libra Puppets formed an array, they could greatly enhance the psychic abilities of psychic Pokémon and accelerate the recovery of psychic power.

Sandshrew's Pokémon, having bathed for a long time in this ocean of psychic energy, would possess incredibly terrifying psychic power upon birth.

Qing Wu had thought Illumi would refuse to cultivate in this psychic ocean. After all, with his pride, he wouldn't accept handouts.

As it turned out, not long after, Qing Wu saw Illumi cultivating in this sanctuary. This is a true scent party.

"If only there were more psychic Pokémon," Qing Wu lamented.

This easily triggers psychic resonance, forming a psychic tide.

This is a secret method to improve the qualifications of psychic Pokémon, but it requires a large number of psychic Pokémon.

"However, the Dazitong Group did smuggle a lot of psychic Pokémon. Maybe they even smuggled some 'Kingdra'?" Qing Wu thought secretly. He secretly sent the information from the ledger to Ziwu Qimu. Knowing that Ziwu Qimu had not yet made a move meant that he understood Ziwu Qimu's thoughts.

Ziwu Qimu was preparing to "cast a long line to catch a big fish." According to the contents recorded in the ledger, he would collect illegal evidence against Dazitong through other channels.

"This guy is probably thinking about the tower buried in the city of Chengdu a month later. Dazitong is also one of the main forces. It is estimated that this old fox will severely weaken Dazitong's power through this activity, and then suppress it." Qing Wu had long been aware of this information.

This information was taken away when Kora came, which meant Qing Wu also took away Vodka.

This way, under the combined push of the Alliance and Dexian Manufacturing, the complete collapse of the Dazitong Group was an inevitable event.

Qing Wu's cultivation room could also extract things from this event, and also acquire the land he currently had from the Great Love Cultivation Room.

After Qing Wu had settled the Libra Puppets, he released the Pangoro he had subdued. Pangoro was a good hand at cultivating fruit trees.

Many fruit orchards specialize in subduing Pangoro and Pangolins to turn over the soil around fruit trees, making the land more fertile.

After the land is turned over, the insect eggs buried deep in the soil can be turned up, thereby reducing the hatching of pests.

"Illumi, I'll leave the Pangoro to you. Pangoro is not a fighting-type Pokémon; just let them guard the fruit forest, okay?" Qing Wu took out Pangoro's Poké Ball and handed it to Illumi.

Just then, Qing Wu saw Stoutland. At this moment, its belly had become flat.

"Haha, Stoutland has also given birth. Congratulations!" Qing Wu then saw the Pokémon that Stoutland had given birth to, which were Grookey and Lillipup.

Qing Wu glanced at the qualifications of these two Pokémon eggs. As expected, they were Pokémon with green qualifications.

The mother was a green-qualified Pokémon, and the father was a dark green-qualified Pokémon very close to unlimited qualifications. It was not surprising at all that they could give birth to green-qualified children.

Stoutland was now bathed in a halo of light. It looked gently at its child, who was still an egg.

"Oh, right, this time I got some good things from Smokescreen Mountain. I'll give them to the unborn Grookey." Qing Wu took out four Fire Crystal fragments and placed them in Grookey's incubator.

"I hope these two little guys can hatch smoothly." Qing Wu circled around. In the cultivation room, the large dog and Stoutland had also given birth one after another.

Qing Wu released Lycanroc and Blaziken from their Poké Balls, letting them ride on Stoutland and Lillipup.

Now, Sandshrew and Lillipup were becoming more and more like humans. Qing Wu felt that Lycanroc and Blaziken becoming the mounts for Sandshrew and Lillipup was also quite an interesting thing.

After all, Raichu was also a Pokémon, and also a Pokémon mount.

Now, the power of the cultivation room was unprecedentedly strong, making Qing Wu feel much more at ease. At least he didn't have to worry about anything happening to the cultivation room when he went out.

Under Qing Wu's guidance, Sandshrew had become proficient in making high-level energy cubes. Although there was still a small gap to becoming a top-level trainer, the day of becoming a top-level trainer was not far off.

Qing Wu went directly to the back mountain and took away Tyranitar. He felt that Tyranitar could be put to good use.

He had always felt that the Dazitong Group was not as good as imagined. Doing thankless things, that unmanned power plant must contain unspeakable secrets.

Qing Wu had a premonition that something bad would happen on this trip to the power plant, and as the departure time approached, the premonition became stronger.

Qing Wu had no choice but to discuss it with Stoutland and the large dog, after getting their consent.

Qing Wu also used camouflage technology on Stoutland and the large dog to create countless scars on their bodies, and handed Stoutland's Mega Evolution necklace to Sandshrew for safekeeping.

The purpose of Qing Wu's doing this was to prevent others from recognizing that Stoutland and the large dog came from his cultivation room.

After making these preparations, Qing Wu planned to bring Ditto, Exploud, Three-Color Merman, Stoutland, the large dog, Tyranitar, and Gus—these seven Pokémon.

Three-Color Merman, after battling the Libra Puppets, rose two levels, reaching Level 27. Pokémon's levels increase quickly at first, then slow down later.

Currently, Exploud and Aggron were still stuck at Level 40. For Exploud and Aggron, Pokémon of lower levels had already gained considerable experience.

Now they could only increase their levels through top-tier treasures and battling higher-level opponents.

Qing Wu camouflaged Exploud, Three-Color Merman, Tyranitar, and Gus. Especially Gus, to make Gus change color, Qing Wu also used air dye, dyeing Gus to a normal color.

When Qing Wu finished all of this, his anxious and nervous mood finally eased.

When Ditto climbed onto Qing Wu's face and moved into shape, bounty hunters went online.

Outside the Mauville City power plant, countless hunters and trainers in black robes stood in a plaza, talking to each other. They stood or sat, in twos and threes.

A plump, wealthy middle-aged man wearing a purple suit stood on the podium in the plaza. A person beside him was testing a microphone.

This middle-aged man's hair was also purple. His plump and round face was filled with a smile that conveyed both wealth and amiability. He was not tall, but he was extremely imposing.

This middle-aged man was the true emperor of Mauville City, Dazitong Shengtian.

At this moment, he was wearing a pair of transparent glasses on his head, and the sun seemed to be connected to some strange instrument.

Two artificial cell eggs were floating in the air beside him.

{Artificial Cell Egg Level 65}

{Artificial Cell Egg Level 68}

These two artificial cell eggs were pseudo-legendary Pokémon. However, these two artificial cell eggs floated in the air with lifeless eyes.

"Psychic mind-sensing technology. It seems they have successfully entered the testing phase," Qing Wu secretly thought to himself. (ag fd)

This was the reason why the Dazitong Group had been secretly collecting psychic Pokémon.

They intended to control psychic Pokémon to create a psychic army that belonged to them.

Qing Wu had never heard of this matter. He only knew that the Dazitong Group was destroyed after the Jinta Tower incident.

Qing Wu knew that it was the result of Dexian Manufacturing, the Alliance, and many other forces acting together.

It seemed that this was a result of Dazitong's fate, and it was a forbidden thing that the Alliance strictly prohibited them from researching.

In Qing Wu's view, this technology completely deprived psychic Pokémon of their ability to think, directly treating psychic Pokémon as tools for releasing psychic power. It was a very despicable technology.

This technology completely eroded the psychic Pokémon's personality. Psychic Pokémon were like large psychic batteries, providing Dazitong Shengtian with psychic power.

Dazitong Shengtian looked proudly at the two artificial cell eggs around him, which were manipulated by his mental power.

"Now is a brand new era. Dwelling in the past is bound to be hated by the world. Developing psychic mind-sensing technology is to allow humans to use psychic power."

"It allows humans to use skills like instant movement, psychic power, and illusion. If it weren't for You Feng's betrayal, lacking important experimental material, it's safe to say this technology would have been developed long ago," Dazitong Shengtian muttered to himself.

Up until now, Dazitong Shengtian still didn't know that his loyal junior had long been unable to return. He could only blame Qing Wu for handling things too well.

The dead squad dispatched to the scene to capture You Feng found no trace of him.

When Dazitong Shengtian saw that almost everyone had arrived, he cleared his throat, walked to the microphone of the podium, and began to explain this hunting activity.

As the organizer of this hunting activity, the Dazitong Group not only publicly displayed a map of the unmanned power plant, but also had a Pokémon exchange score table.

Pokémon captured by bounty hunters and trainers could not only be freely sold, but also sold to the Dazitong Group for exchange points.

After accumulating a certain amount of points, they could exchange them for rare treasures collected by Dazitong.

"Dear hunters, good morning. I am the organizer of this hunting activity, Dazitong Shengtian. I am very pleased to invite so many famous hunters and trainers to participate in our activity."

"Now, I will explain the main mission of this hunting activity. Our most important mission is to go deep into the unmanned power plant and shut down the unmanned generator, which is the key point."

Dazitong Shengtian unrolled a map. A red dot was circled on the map with a red pen.

"How to shut down the unmanned generator? It's all written in the brochures we distributed to everyone. Everyone can shut down the generator by following the basic operations."

"As long as you can successfully shut down the unmanned generator, whether you are a trainer or a hunter, you will receive our Dazitong Group's generous rewards." Dazitong Shengtian raised the Pokémon exchange score table.

"At the same time, because there are too many Electric-type Pokémon in the power plant, for the subsequent safety of the power plant, hunters and trainers can subdue Pokémon. We will not stop you."

"Subdued Pokémon can be freely traded or sold to our Dazitong Group. Our Dazitong Group will purchase these Pokémon at twenty percent above market price."

"Of course, if you want to exchange for precious treasures collected by Dazitong, then you can..."

to exchange Pokémon for Dazitong internal points, and then exchange internal points for treasures."

"Rest assured, we have Pokémon Appraisal Experts here with decades of experience in appraising Pokémon's qualifications. We will not deceive any trainer or hunter. Of course, trainers and hunters who cause trouble without reason will incur the wrath of the Dazitong Group."

"Time is running out, please line up and enter," Dazitong Shengtian said. These hunters swarmed to the entrance of the power plant, like hungry dogs, wanting to bite off a piece of fat from the power plant.

These hunters also carried various heavy weapons. Qing Wu knew that these heavy weapons were actually very easy to be attracted by Electric-type Pokémon.

Their proud weapons instead became hidden landmines that detonated their lifelines.

In his previous life, Qing Wu heard about this power plant incident. The reason for the heavy losses was due to sheer indiscipline, and hunters snatching from each other was a key factor.

Another key was that the Dazitong Group didn't tell the truth. The actual number of Electric-type Pokémon was several times the announced number.

This led to hunters, when they wanted to escape, being surrounded and attacked by Electric-type Pokémon, unable to fight off multiple opponents with just two hands.

Many experienced veteran hunters were thus cut down and buried in the sand, inexplicably detonated by their own detritus.

The last key was that the power plant, for some unknown reason, produced a large number of Electrode. The Electrode's self-destruct was also the fatal reason why the hunters walked into the underworld.

The area where the Electrode were located was also referred to by later generations as the "Landmine Field," where countless casualties occurred.

Qing Wu always felt that this power plant was a trap set by the Dazitong Group. This was only the first event, and the casualties were already devastating.

Subsequently, the Dazitong Group also organized 2-3 similar events, with many hunters dying in each.

Why the Dazitong Group wanted to do this, Qing Wu still couldn't understand.

Qing Wu actually saw Lance's figure. Although Lance was well hidden, his fiery red hair and his height made him recognizable to the familiar Qing Wu at a glance.

"It seems Lance also felt there was a conspiracy at this unmanned power plant. What exactly is the secret of this power plant? Lance must have also come to investigate." Qing Wu thought to himself, but didn't greet Lance. He didn't want his own cover to be blown so quickly.
