After hanging up, Lu Li called Yao Yifei and repeated what the other party had said.
To be honest, Yao Yifei didn't have much interest in the black market, as she wasn't short of money right now.
"What do you think?" Yao Yifei passed the buck back to Lu Li.
Lu Li said, "I think we can agree. Three percent of the black market's profits is quite high."
The greatest value of the black market isn't actually the profit it brings, but the sales channel it provides.
Yao Yifei nodded and said, "Then let's agree. Anyway, I won't have much to do after you go to college."
"Okay, then I'll give your number to Auntie Liu Li."
"Give it, give it. I'm hanging up first. I stayed up too late playing bomb disposal games with Yatou yesterday, so I need to catch up on some sleep," Yao Yifei said before hanging up.
Lu Li: "…"
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Lu Li was speechless.
Stayed up too late playing with Baobao? Yao Yifei doesn't seem like the type to enjoy video games.
…………
In a secret base in the American region of the North American Alliance.
"Heh heh heh…"
"Success! Arceus bless America!"
An old man with thick glasses looked excitedly at the special Poké Ball in the device.
The Poké Ball in front of him was light purple, with two raised dark red gems on the upper hemisphere.
Freya also looked excitedly at the Poké Ball in the device, whispering in disbelief, "Doctor, did we succeed?"
"Yes, we succeeded," the doctor said with certainty.
"A Poké Ball capable of containing a god," Freya murmured with fiery eyes.
[Note: It's 'containing,' not forcibly capturing.]
Theoretically, as long as we can bring that god to the brink of death, a Master Ball can capture it, causing it to fall into a permanent sleep inside the Poké Ball until it fully recovers.
"Can humans… finally control gods?"
Everyone in the lab was incredibly excited.
However, some rational people didn't think so.
Poké Balls don't have brainwashing capabilities. As long as the mythical beast inside the Poké Ball regains consciousness, it can easily break free from the Master Ball's restraints.
However, Master Balls have great strategic significance.
To give a simple example:
Poké Balls can shield the pressure emitted by a Pokémon. Even an ordinary person can carry this Poké Ball and infiltrate the interior of an alliance to cause destruction.
There are also dirtier tricks, such as beating a mythical beast to the brink of death, capturing it with a Master Ball, and then taking it directly into the enemy alliance.
When the mythical beast inside the Master Ball recovers, its anger will be unleashed on the enemy alliance.
This thing is like a roughly controllable atomic bomb. After all, the destructive power brought by a god who controls the laws is definitely not something a Master-level Pokémon can compare to.
Just as everyone was in a frenzy, an accident occurred.
One of the thin researchers suddenly grabbed the Poké Ball in the device. Under everyone's shocked gaze, the researcher holding the Poké Ball instantly disappeared from the spot.
The doctor, who had finally reacted, cursed angrily, "Fack!!! The Master Ball has been stolen!"
Freya, realizing what had happened, immediately released a Psychic-type Pokémon.
"Natu, can you sense any Psychic energy fluctuations? Where did that damn thief run off to?"
Natu sensed the Psychic energy fluctuations in the area and then disappeared with Freya in an instant.
At the border of the American region.
Freya Russell appeared and immediately saw the researcher on the ground.
Natu glanced at it and said directly, "Although this corpse is well-preserved, the person has been dead for at least two years."
After a moment, Natu added, "There's an energy wave shielding device here. The energy waves left by the other party disappear here."
Hearing this, Freya's face instantly darkened.
"So, we lost them completely?" Freya asked through gritted teeth.
"Not completely," Natu teleported to a machine.
Natu said, "This is the symbol of the Divine Sect."
"Damn it! I knew it was these lunatics. But this was supposed to be a secret plan. How did those crazy people from the Divine Sect find out? And they started planning two years ago?" Freya cursed.
Not giving up, Freya asked, "Can't you use Future Sight to continue searching for traces of the other party?"
"It's useless. The other party is a Psychic, and their strength is already at the Gym Leader level. Most importantly… the other party is a Champion-level Psychic Trainer."
Natu looked at its Trainer with great seriousness and said, "I don't recommend you continue investigating. The risk is too great."
Freya is only a Elite Four-level Trainer. The fact that the other party only ran away and didn't kill anyone proves that they have already restrained themselves.
Hearing this, Freya became even more depressed.
"We have a mole in the Alliance!" Freya said through gritted teeth.
"How surprising," Natu rolled its eyes at its Trainer.
Isn't it common knowledge that there are moles in the Alliance?
Natu comforted, "You should be glad that the manufacturing quality of the Master Ball wasn't lost."
"I don't know what the Divine Sect wants the Master Ball for," Freya was still very worried about the theft of the Master Ball.
It's not scary for the Master Ball to fall into the hands of the ordinary world, but it's scary for the Master Ball to fall into the hands of a behemoth like the Divine Sect.
Completely giving up, Freya said, "Let's go back and report."
"By the way, my Future Sight just foresaw a new scene that you might be interested in," Natu suddenly said.
"What?"
Freya looked at Natu curiously.
"I saw my mother in the future. She seems to be in the Kyushu region."
"Are you saying Uncle might be in the Kyushu region? But didn't he disappear during the space-time experiment? Could he have been kidnapped by the Kyushu Alliance?" Freya exclaimed.
Natu shook its head, "I'm sorry, the future scene I saw didn't have your uncle in it."
"It seems we have to go to the Kyushu region. Do you know the specific location?" Freya asked.
Natu: "The southern Kyushu region. I don't know the specifics."
Freya immediately made a decision, "Then let's go back and submit an application. The reason is to pursue the Divine Sect fugitive."
Natu: "Whatever makes you happy."
"Shouldn't you be happy? After all, you're going to see your mother?"
"I've never even seen my mother."
"I bet she's as dull and boring as you are."
"Are you嫌弃 me?"
"No! I'm just as boring as you, so we're natural partners."
With a flash of light, the bickering duo disappeared from the room.
…………
In a base in Southeast Asia.
"Pope, this is the Master Ball."
The Pope sitting on the throne nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you, Reggie."
"Everything for the Divine Sect!" Reggie looked at the old man in front of him with fanaticism.
After taking the Poké Ball, the Pope looked at the Poké Ball in his hand in silence.
The Pope announced, "Reggie, from today onwards, you are the Holy Son of my Divine Sect."
Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Reggie's eyes.
In the Divine Sect, the Pope is the supreme leader.
Below me are the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters. The Divine Sect currently has three Holy Daughters and two Holy Sons. Now, with you, there will be three Holy Sons.
Unlike the previous five who became Holy Daughters and Holy Sons based on talent, Reggie relied entirely on hard work, which was the two-year undercover mission the Pope gave him.
"Go to America again and tell Plante that our Divine Sect has agreed to his request," the Pope said before waving his hand.
The true children!
The gods controlled by humans are not humans after all, and the true children are not gods after all. Now everyone is hindering your appearance.
The reason why the Divine Sect knew about that laboratory and project was naturally because of the mole.
What no one expected was that the mole was actually the Champion of the North American Alliance—Plante.
The content of the transaction between the two parties was very simple: the Divine Sect would eliminate the reserve true messengers, and the reward would be the North American Alliance's latest technology, the Master Ball.
The Pope handed the Poké Ball to the masked woman next to him and said, "Try to see if you can crack it."
The masked woman took the ball and disappeared into the shadows.
…………
The next day at ten o'clock, the top ten to top five promotion matches.
Lu Li curiously sized up the girl opposite him.
Lu Li had heard of this person.
However, what he heard wasn't a good reputation. This notorious young lady was called Long Ying, the direct daughter of the Long family, and had an invincible older brother, who was the current champion of the Asian Alliance, Long Du.
This villainous young lady was sixteen years old, and she was the focus of everyone's attention in every match.
She had a head of fiery red hair that seemed to be burning. The strands were smooth and shiny, like a burning flame in the sun, as if each strand contained a mysterious power.
Her hair was casually draped over her shoulders, swaying gently with her movements, exuding a different kind of agility and wild beauty.
Her eyebrows and eyes were even more captivating, with a pair of narrow phoenix eyes, her eyes as deep as a dark pool, and her eyes seemed to twinkle with stars, and seemed to be frozen with ice.
Lu Li didn't like the other party's eyes. Long Ying's eyes showed a bit of cunning and disdain, as if everything in the world was insignificant in her eyes.
Especially when looking at him, Lu Li felt offended.
Long Ying's eyebrows were as carefully outlined with a brush, slender and upturned, with a sharpness at the brow peak, like a sharp sword pointing straight to the sky, showing her unruly nature and arrogant posture.
Her nose was slightly upturned, as if silently挑衅 this world, and as if proudly announcing her uniqueness.
"Your dragon is very good, but the trainer's purity is too low."
Long Ying belittled Lu Li as soon as she opened her mouth.
The corners of Lu Li's mouth twitched slightly. If you didn't have a champion brother, you would know how high the purity of my 'wind in both ears' is.
Looking at the arrogant Long Ying, Lu Li smiled maliciously.
"Miss Long, if I remember correctly, the college entrance examination competition shouldn't stipulate that trainers can't attack trainers, right?"
Hearing this, Long Ying raised her eyebrows.
Then, she glanced at Lu Li provocatively.
"If you have the courage, you can try," Long Ying looked eager to try.
As the owner of the Dragon Force, her physical fitness was stronger than that of trainers of the same level.
Even if the trainer went down to fight, Long Ying wouldn't be虚, and even looked forward to it.
"Then wait and see," Lu Li responded.
"Wait and see!" After Long Ying finished speaking, she released her Pokémon.
Long Ying's initial Pokémon was a mid-level veteran Zweilous.
Lu Li, who had watched the other party's game before, wasn't surprised.
"Tropius, do your thing," Lu Li stared at Long Ying eagerly.
"You should do this, after all, your existence is useless except for dragging Tropius down," Long Ying commented with a sneer.
With that, Long Ying put her hand on Zweilous' back.
Dragon Force activated!
The mid-level veteran Zweilous instantly increased in strength and became a late-level veteran.
This was the horror of the Dragon Force, temporarily increasing the strength of Dragon-type Pokémon.
"Come on! I'll beat you down today," After doing all this, Long Ying hooked her fingers at Lu Li.
Long Ying and Lu Li had the same idea, and he didn't intend to command Zweilous either, but set his sights on Lu Li, the trainer.
In the viewing room, Long Du exclaimed after seeing this, "Damn it! My sister has been tricked."
Comparing combat power with the Rainbow Hero?
The last one who did this seemed to be a Master-level Fire-type trainer, who didn't use the Nine Tails that entered the realm of God, but wanted to compare fencing with the trainer.
The result naturally goes without saying, the Master-level trainer was beaten up by the Rainbow Hero who was only at the Elite Four level at the time.
"This 学渣! I told you to study history properly, but you just wouldn't listen. Now you're going to suffer!" Long Du looked at Long Ying in the competition with schadenfreude.
Almost at the same time, Tropius and Zweilous moved.
Tropius almost went all out as soon as it came up, and the Seed Machine Gun was released wildly without caring about energy.
Zweilous also didn't intend to probe, and came up with a Dragon Breath with full power.
At the same time, Lu Li also shot towards Long Ying like a cannonball.
Long Ying also didn't show any timidity. Looking at Lu Li who was rushing straight over, Long Ying greeted him excitedly.
Zweilous's Dragon Breath was successfully dodged by Tropius with Flying, and Tropius's Seed Machine Gun was also dodged by Zweilous with Dig.
Not at the same time, both Pokémon had a clear comment on each other in their hearts.
Insidious little spirit!
We agreed to head-on, but you fly (遁地)?
And Lu Li's side was much more direct.
After rushing to Long Ying, Lu Li raised his leg and swept across, but Long Ying blocked it with her arms.
After kicking the object, Lu Li heard the sound of bone breaking, and Long Ying's face changed instantly as she felt the strange force coming from her arm.
Just as she wanted to change her move, her arms were torn with muscle tearing pain.
Lu Li changed his move, his left leg supported by his right hand swept across, landing on the other party's back 豚.
From that brief exchange, Lu Li knew roughly what level his opponent was at, so he deliberately held back, not wanting to send Long Ying flying.
Although falling backwards in an inelegant manner was rather unsightly, it was more humiliating than harmful.
"Is my purity sufficient?" Lu Li asked, looking at the fallen Long Ying.
