Chapter 1097: Why are you just watching from the sidelines, Senpai!!!

It is well known that the current Champion and Steel Heavenly King of the Sakura Alliance are a junior and senior who graduated from the same university, that is, the so-called relationship between junior and senior.

Even though he surpassed Mikurugi Hibiki to become the Alliance Champion, Ito Ryuzaki still often used honorifics for him in private.

Everything went incredibly smoothly. Perhaps the Goddess of Luck was favoring the two, and even the gate of the research institute had someone to help them open it.

It was already three o'clock in the morning. This was the time when people slept the deepest and the night was the darkest.

The research institute in the middle of the night was pitch black, and the silver-white walls seemed to absorb the night, looking very eerie in the darkness.

The two walked toward the laboratory in the very center of the research institute with a clear goal. According to their intelligence networks, they had all reached one answer: the Dream God Cresselia, who had been captured, was being held in that laboratory.

For ordinary trainers, just being in this eerie research institute would have exhausted their courage, but the two were different. They were Alliance Champions and Four Heavenly Kings who had earned their positions through strength, and both had absolute confidence in their own strength. That was why they were bold enough to choose to infiltrate as a pair.

Getting closer and closer to the central research lab, Ito Ryuzaki seemed to remember something and asked in a low voice: "Mikurugi-senpai, have you already contacted that person in Hokkaido?"

Mikurugi Hibiki's expression was hard to see under his mask and the dark night. He was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I have contacted him, but Senior Cicada Ninja said that he cannot make a move without conclusive evidence."

Ito Ryuzaki nodded slightly. This answer was also within his expectations. The older generation with Master-level combat power were all bound by that contract and could not make a move unless it was an extreme situation.

They carried items that could break the signal shielding here. As long as they broke into the research lab and obtained evidence that Cresselia was bound within the Crescent Cult, Senior Cicada Ninja, who was in Hokkaido, could arrive within half an hour.

With the tacit understanding and combat power between him and Mikurugi, even if the Dream God was controlled, it was not impossible to persist in defense or even escape under its attack.

Pokémon that had broken through to the Master level possessed the power to fight against second-tier Legendary Pokémon. As long as Senior Cicada Ninja arrived, even if they couldn't defeat Cresselia, under the continuous support from all walks of life, the Crescent Cult would only face defeat!

The gate of the central research lab was already close at hand. The two knew that there was no need to hide anymore, so they immediately took out their Poké Balls, intending to break through by force.

Who knew, the pitch-black research lab suddenly lit up with bright lights, and the central research lab gate, which looked very sturdy, opened slowly.

"Exposed!?" Ito Ryuzaki's expression tightened, and he threw the Poké Ball belonging to his ace Pokémon without hesitation: "Baxcalibur!"

As soon as the Dragon and Ice-type pseudo-legendary appeared, the temperature in the lab dropped sharply. Champion-level Pokémon would affect the surrounding environment to a certain extent just by existing here.

Ito Ryuzaki opened his mouth and spat out a white mist; this was a phenomenon that occurred because the temperature inside the human body was different from the outside. He glanced at Mikurugi Hibiki, who had been slow to release his Pokémon, and without thinking much, reminded: "Senpai, Pokémon!"

Mikurugi Hibiki lowered his head and did not reply.

Ito Ryuzaki felt a trace of something wrong.

Before he could figure out the connection, rhythmic clapping sounds came through the gap of the slowly opening door, adding a few signs of life to this silent night.

Clap, clap, clap, clap.

The gate opened completely, and the two people standing in front of the central research lab came into view. One was Aoi Sawaki, whom Ito Ryuzaki was very familiar with, the former leader of the Sakura Alliance who had retired, an old man over a hundred years old.

And the other person Ito Ryuzaki had never seen before. The other party was a mature woman with long, golden wavy hair and a very hot figure.

Ito Ryuzaki had no interest in these two at all. After letting Baxcalibur block in front of him, through the gap between the two, Ito Ryuzaki accurately saw Cresselia sleeping quietly inside the central laboratory, with many strangely shaped pipes connected to various parts of its body!

Ito Ryuzaki picked up his phone and took a picture of this decisive moment without hesitation, then immediately intended to send the photo to Senior Cicada Ninja.

However, when his gaze touched the signal shield destroyer in Mikurugi Hibiki's hand that had no signs of activation, Ito Ryuzaki

knew it was bad.

"Senpai!!" Knowing that it was going to be bad, Ito Ryuzaki still shouted loudly at Mikurugi Hibiki with the spirit of a Reiwa man.

Aoi Sawaki, who had been standing with his hands behind his back without speaking, smiled and said: "Don't shout, Ito-kun. He has already become one of us. Can't you see that?"

Ito Ryuzaki gritted his teeth.

The blonde woman said impatiently: "Sawaki Aoi, don't talk so much nonsense, be careful of complications."

Aoi Sawaki spread his hands, "I know. Then please make a move, Full Moon."

Full Moon!?

Ito Ryuzaki's face stiffened. He remembered that the only person who had this title and could be named should be that mysterious Sixth Seat of the Nova Organization, right?

To be honest, Ito Ryuzaki was not afraid of these rats hiding and sneaking around... but that was on the premise that the Dream God Cresselia did not move.

I don't know what that woman, who was actually older than Aoi Sawaki, did, but the sleeping Cresselia moved. In just an instant, the fluctuations of sweet dreams shrouded the entire Crescent Cult headquarters.

Ito Ryuzaki, who was the first to be shrouded, judged that even if he carried items to resist mental control, he could not resist this control fluctuation!

Using the last bit of remaining reason, Ito Ryuzaki shouted at the silent Mikurugi Hibiki: "Why are you just watching from the sidelines! Mikurugi-senpai!!"

At the same time, Meimei, who had successfully arrived at the periphery of the Crescent Cult headquarters, looked at the edited information and evidence, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although he didn't find where Cresselia was, there should be no problem seeking international assistance based on this evidence.

Just as Meimei was about to press the send button, the sweet dream fluctuation instantly shrouded the entire Crescent Cult headquarters.

Meimei covered his head and knelt on the ground, and the communicator also fell to the ground and went black. Sensing the endless sleepiness surging from the depths of his mind, Meimei said in disbelief: "Why...?"

Meloetta's singing offset the effect of mental control, but could not resist the sleepiness of being in a wonderful dream. After only a few breaths, Meimei fell to the ground and fell into the deepest sleep.

Central research lab, Aoi Sawaki squatted on the ground and poked Ito Ryuzaki, who had completely sunk into the dream, and said with a smile: "Oh my, no matter how many times I see it, I feel from the bottom of my heart that the power of a Mythical Pokémon possessing authority is truly terrifying."

Full Moon did not reply, but narrowed her eyes and frowned: "How come there are rats mixed in besides this Champion... Interpol?"

"Sawaki Aoi, explain."

Aoi Sawaki said gently: "Even if they mixed in, weren't they wiped out by your Cresselia? As long as the result is fine, it's okay."

Full Moon snorted and said with dissatisfaction: "The Tsukuyomi plan is related to whether you and I can gain a firm foothold in the organization and go to the next level. Don't forget, the reason you helped me and Mr. R infiltrate the Sakura Alliance as an insider is for that Zarude leader in the Aokigahara Forest."

"Even if the Tokyo plan fails, I'll just find another place to spread sweet dreams and let Cresselia approach the level of a first-tier Legendary Pokémon through the power of faith. And you, who betrayed your country just to capture Zarude to gain a firm foothold in the organization, if the plan fails because of your mistake, neither the organization nor your country will be your place to stay."

"Be more rigorous in doing things in the future. The Aokigahara Forest side is gathering a group of Four Heavenly Kings and Champions, especially that Champion of the Shenzhou Alliance. The other party is a candidate for the Rainbow Hero. Do you think there will be a second-tier Legendary Pokémon following him?"

Aoi Sawaki restrained his smile and lowered his head: "There will be no problems next. People have already been arranged to leave 'wedges' on the Aokigahara Forest side."

Full Moon nodded: "Not bad. Tonight's Crescent Night will be the period when the Dream God's power is at its strongest. By then, sweet dreams will unfold throughout Tokyo through the 'wedges', and all people and Pokémon will become slaves to sweet dreams."

"I will take over the Sakura Alliance, and you will get the leader of the Zarude tribe!"
