Qing Wu's gaze fell on the high bridge, where the most trainers and hunters gathered.
The lightning corridor was divided into two levels. The original design was to prevent power plant employees from colliding with Pokémon, leading to injuries.
At this moment, the hunters and trainers were all standing on the high bridge, with boxes of Poké Balls beside them.
They all used Rock-type Pokémon, such as Geodude, Golem, Steelix, and Aggron, to attack.
These Rock-type Pokémon were extremely heavy and were frantically attacking the Electric-type Pokémon.
Rock-types naturally countered Electric-types, and they were also in a relatively high position.
Some Electric-type Pokémon couldn't attack the trainers and hunters, and could only watch helplessly as their companions were captured one by one by the hunters and trainers.
These Electric-type Pokémon quickly turned red-eyed.
Beneath the high bridge, dust occasionally fell. The pillars of the high bridge also made creaking sounds.
This high bridge was already unable to bear the weight, and Qing Wu also heard a strange sound.
Qing Wu observed carefully. These strange sounds came from the ventilation shaft of the lightning corridor.
As soon as the Electric-type Pokémon heard these sounds, their eyes immediately turned red, and they fell into a frenzy.
These sounds were not loud at first, and did not affect many Pokémon, but as the battle between trainers and Electric-type Pokémon continued, the range of agitated Pokémon grew larger and larger.
"This Mauville Group definitely has an expert. Utilizing human psychology, these hunters and trainers must have chosen Rock-type and Ground-type Pokémon to deal with Electric-type Pokémon." Qing Wu rubbed his chin and thought darkly.
"These Pokémon all have a special characteristic: they are extremely heavy. The high bridge is only for human employees to pass through. If Rock-type Pokémon stand on it, the high bridge will probably collapse soon."
"These 08 trainers should not have Flying-type Pokémon, probably because they sensed the counter of Electric-type Pokémon."
Although Qing Wu hadn't thought about where Voltorb would appear from the bottom, to give these hunters and trainers a warning, Qing Wu still had to act.
Although these hunters and trainers were throwing money around, or rather, were capturing powerful Electric-type Pokémon, most of the people inside were not bad at heart.
If so many people were lost here, the defensive power of the Emerald Region would greatly decrease. Although the Emerald Region was still the strongest region in the Pokémon world, it could still not escape going downhill.
Because compared to the Legendary Pokémon of other regions, Groudon and Kyogre were the most difficult to deal with. Once these two powerful Legendary Pokémon began to revive, it would be the beginning of the end of the world.
Qing Wu took out a megaphone from his wrist. He recorded a few words in it, then had Ditto transform into a large bat with a much smaller body size, and flew towards the lightning corridor.
Mauville Group, CEO's Office.
Mauville Shiten looked at the trainers and hunters who were constantly fighting the Electric-type Pokémon, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
"It's all about money and profit, and this great contradiction and conflict. I, Mauville Shiten, will definitely become the savior who quells this turmoil. I will definitely become the savior of this world, making people worship and respect me."
"I am the God of the present world!!!" Mauville Shiten's face showed a shockingly arrogant expression, like a fanatic.
"Clatter, clatter..." A faint scratching sound came from the shadows.
"You speak so well, President Mauville, I am even moved by your words." An old man in a white robe walked out of the shadows.
The white-robed old man had golden hair, wore a white mask, and had clear, bright eyes.
"Lord Ashura, why have you come?" Mauville Shiten said somewhat flusteredly. After hearing Ashura's words, his old face turned red.
[PS: Ashura, one of the Seven Sages of Team Plasma]
"How far has Psychic Resonance technology developed?" Ashura's voice carried a hint of coldness.
"Lord Ashura still lacks the final research material, Larvitar, this purest emotional Pokémon. Only then can we complete the final experiment." Mauville Shiten's words held a hint of murderous intent.
"Isn't Garchomp or Electivire okay?" Ashura said somewhat impatiently.
"According to the researchers' feedback, Garchomp and Electivire already have 'adult' pure emotions." Mauville Shiten replied.
"I understand. I'll think of a way. How are the arrangements at the power plant now? Are there enough sacrifices? Is the plan I provided being executed?" Ashura became a little impatient.
"Lord Ashura, please see, everything is going smoothly. The hunters and trainers are all on the high bridge. In a while, this high bridge will collapse due to the overweight Rock-type Pokémon used by the trainers and hunters."
"At that time, Voltorb will also fall from above, and with a single 'boom,' these trainers and hunters will fly into the sky. Their souls will become sacrifices for that illusory beast, and their Pokémon will also be stripped by us." Mauville Shiten revealed a triumphant smile.
"Psychic Resonance technology and illusory beast sacrifices are important parts of Master Ashura's plan. Please don't make any mistakes, because Master Ashura's wrath is not something you can bear." Ashura said to Mauville Shiten faintly.
Then, a psychic glow appeared on Ashura's body, and he directly disappeared into Mauville Shiten's office.
"Hmph." Mauville Shiten looked at the spot where Ashura disappeared, his gaze somewhat unkind.
He was quite apprehensive of this hidden organization in the Pokémon world. They suddenly appeared before Mauville Shiten, and supported the growth of Mauville Group. It was said that they had informants in every continent of the unification regions of the Pokémon world.
Their leader was called Ghetsis. No one knew the true identity of this leader. It was said that this leader was a champion-level trainer.
He had seven Elite Four-level trainers under him, known as the Seven Sages.
He wielded the destructive power of the black and white dragons.
Ashura suddenly appeared in front of Mauville Shiten. Mauville Shiten's Elite Four-level Pokémon were instantly defeated by Ashura.
This made Mauville Shiten realize that a champion-level trainer was like an ant in the eyes of a top psychic.
At that time, the Psychic Resonance technology provided by Ashura gave Mauville Shiten the hope that an ordinary person could become a top psychic.
However, Ashura proposed that he needed to use Mauville City's power plant to imprison a Pokémon. Mauville Shiten agreed without hesitation.
Including enticing trainers and hunters to the power plant as sacrifices for the illusory Pokémon, Mauville Shiten agreed without any bottom line.
As long as he could become a top psychic, even if it meant sacrificing his parents, Mauville Shiten could do it.
"As long as the power plant's situation is concluded perfectly, I can become a member of Team Plasma and directly replace Ghetsis's position."
"With the help of Psychic Resonance technology, I will become a top psychic, and at the same time, I will crush Ashura under my feet." Mauville Shiten muttered.
His eyes were filled with fanatical divine light. In his heart, human lives were like ants. He desperately wanted to see Ashura kneel at his feet and beg for mercy.
Mauville City Power Plant.
Qing Wu whispered to Ditto. Ditto transformed into a large bat, holding the megaphone Qing Wu had prepared, and flew majestically over the entire lightning corridor.
{Everyone quickly leave the high bridge. The high bridge is about to collapse. Please recall your Rock-type Pokémon. Be careful, leave the area.}
{Everyone quickly leave the high bridge. The high bridge is about to collapse. Please recall your Rock-type Pokémon. Be careful, leave the area.}
{Everyone quickly leave the high bridge. The high bridge is about to collapse. Please recall your Rock-type Pokémon. Be careful, leave the area.}
The megaphone echoed throughout the lightning corridor. Many sharp-eyed trainers discovered that the high bridge was indeed unable to bear the weight. They cautiously recalled their Pokémon and quickly left the area.
But some trainers and hunters remained on the high bridge, still continuously capturing Pokémon. They threw Poké Balls while shouting loudly to mock the cowardice of those trainers and hunters.
"These damned ghosts are truly difficult to persuade with good intentions." Qing Wu muttered. Just then, a Thunderbolt with one hundred thousand volts struck the large bat, and it immediately froze.
"It seems Mauville Shiten has already discovered me. Now, all I want to know is where Voltorb will appear from."
"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Who on earth messed things up?" Mauville Shiten looked at the large bat he was monitoring with a megaphone, which was still shouting at the retreating trainers and hunters. The hunters and trainers present also retreated one after another.
Seeing that half of the planned sacrifices were gone, Mauville Shiten immediately became anxious.
He saw him press another button, and an Electric-type Pokémon, originally controlled by sound waves, immediately unleashed Thunderbolt at the large bat.
The large bat instantly turned to charcoal and fell from the sky. The megaphone, because it was falling from a high altitude, shattered into pieces.
At this moment, Mauville Shiten was extremely happy. He saw that after the number of trainers and hunters present was reduced by half, Mauville Shiten knew he couldn't wait any longer. So he pressed another button 407.
"So that's how it is. I never noticed the ceiling." Qing Wu looked at the ceiling of the lightning corridor, which was suddenly pushed open with a loud bang, and countless Voltorb descended from the sky.
Voltorb, upon contact with the sound emitted from the ventilation shaft, immediately flashed with white light.
"Voltorb is going to explode!"
"Voltorb is going to explode!"
Many experienced hunters and trainers hugged their heads and ducked, trying to avoid this catastrophe. However, they didn't expect that the high bridge, which was already unable to bear the weight at this moment, finally collapsed with the falling Voltorb, hitting the last straw.
He only heard the high bridge begin to collapse with a roar. The scene immediately erupted with countless smoke and dust, like an explosion.
"Not bad, not bad. The ritual has already begun. Hahaha." Mauville Shiten showed a frantic expression.
At this moment, he didn't notice that the large bat, which had turned into charcoal, had already transformed into an Electric-type Pokémon with a wagging tail and was silently slipping through the lightning corridor.
Qing Wu had already scanned it with his system. Most of the Electric-type Pokémon here had red potential. Occasionally, there were some orange-potential ones.
Qing Wu knew that to get high-potential Pokémon, he had to go to the power vortex device area.
The Pokémon in the lightning corridor were all low-potential Pokémon that had been driven out.
The high bridge collapsed. The trainers and hunters who were originally standing on the high bridge all stood unstable and fell.
Subsequently, Voltorb's self-destruction completely destroyed their bodies.
Qing Wu watched living humans turn into charred corpses. He couldn't do anything else. He had already warned them.
"Ghost, where did all these human souls ultimately go?" Qing Wu asked.
Ghost pointed downwards with its tongue.
"It seems Mauville Group really wants to use human souls to corrupt the illusory Pokémon's sanity. Go, Ghost, Ditto, start teleporting us!" Qing Wu saw blue light emanating from his body.
But Ditto transformed into Garchomp. Qing Wu then noticed that it was muttering something.
Qing Wu unknowingly and silently crossed to the other side.
"Hmph, let the fleeing trainers and hunters be lucky. Next, I should comfort the families of the victims," Mauville Shiten said coldly.
Immediately, Mauville Shiten walked out of his office, his face taking on a shockingly sorrowful expression.
