If an idea comes to mind—act on it!
Seizing this fleeting inspiration, Leo immediately began formulating a plan.
Having powerful figures from other worlds lead the humans of the Pokémon world was undeniably the perfect solution.
However—
Bringing them directly into the new world raised too many questions. Explaining their sudden appearance would be cumbersome, and it might compromise the integrity of the Transdimensional Chamber of Commerce.
That option was off the table.
But that didn't matter.
After surviving and navigating countless complicated scenarios, Leo had perfected the art of deception to an extraordinary level.
An alternative idea quickly came to mind—
Instead of transporting these powerful figures into the Pokémon world, why not let them battle each other in a grand spectacle?
A massive, interdimensional showdown, featuring warriors from various power-system worlds, where they could unleash their full strength!
Then—
Broadcast it live across the entire game world!
Leo was confident that after witnessing such raw power, the humans of the Pokémon world would be inspired to unlock their own potential!
After all—
They weren't incapable of growth; they just weren't accustomed to it.
They weren't fools!
As the plan took shape, another thought struck Leo.
"Wait… in that case, wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity to reveal the 'real' Chamber of Commerce to the world?"
His lips curled into a grin.
"If we're going to do this… let's do it big!"
But he quickly reconsidered.
"No… we need to keep this within controlled, specialized worlds."
"That said, any world with formidable warriors should be allowed to participate!"
At this point, the three-dimensional investigators under Leo's command had already abandoned their previous assignments, instead focusing on expanding his influence across various worlds.
While most of the realms they visited were low-tier C-level worlds, every now and then, they stumbled upon a truly exceptional individual.
Originally, Leo had no clear strategy for making the most of these worlds.
But now?
Now was the perfect time to capitalize on them!
By recruiting these powerhouses for his grand event, he could generate immense hype—and at the same time, collect the residual energy from their battles to fuel his next project!
Thanks to the efforts of numerous dimensional merchants, Leo's point balance was growing by the day.
During the few months he had spent managing the game world, he had already accumulated enough points to create another small world.
Initially, he hadn't planned to make the Chamber of Commerce's base particularly large—after all, it was meant to be a place of mystery and intimidation, not a sprawling metropolis.
But now—
The perfect solution was clear.
Step 1: Create a new, enclosed world to serve as the battle arena.
Step 2: Let the strongest fighters from various dimensions unleash destruction upon it.
Step 3: Once the world has been battered and torn apart, use the residual energy left behind to construct a majestic, awe-inspiring Transdimensional Chamber of Commerce!
Leo chuckled to himself.
"Yes… but just to be safe, I should reinforce the game world's barriers. Wouldn't want any unintended 'side effects.'"
With that final adjustment, his plan was set.
Without delay—
A ray of light shot out from the game world's barrier, streaking into the depths of the void.
Soon, Leo found a vast, unoccupied expanse of nothingness.
There were no other worlds nearby—the perfect location for a new interdimensional gateway.
By placing it here, he could save a significant amount of power of Origin when establishing connections to other realms.
This time, he was far more experienced.
Unlike before, the process of creating a new world was almost second nature to him.
Within a short period, the foundations were laid.
However, before continuing, he made a quick return to the game world—
Game World
Under the leadership of the strategy team, an elite force led by Ash and the Four Heavenly Kings had finally conquered the level 30 world dungeon.
As per the pre-established rules, Leo granted access to approximately 5% of the Pokémon world's population, allowing them to enter the new world.
For this first wave of newcomers, he had previously selected skilled combatants—primarily Pokémon trainers.
But this time—
He focused on scientists and engineers.
The game world still retained the core essence of the Pokémon world, but compared to the original, it had already changed beyond recognition.
If he truly wanted to restore the glory of the Pokémon world, he needed these intellectuals to lay the foundation.
This new generation would bear the responsibility of constructing a real, thriving Pokémon civilization!
After clearing the world dungeon, Ash finally unlocked his first Nen Beast!
That is, the replica of his first Pokémon, the Legendary Pikachu.
Though this clone lacked the charisma and intelligence of the original, its raw strength was undeniable.
However—
Ash wasn't content with this! He wants his real Pikachu!
So without hesitation, he gathered Misty and Brock and dived straight into the next challenge—
The level 30-40 dungeon!
In this dungeon instance, there happened to be mission items that allowed Ash and his team to advance to the second stage of their journey.
With his Nen Beast Pikachu's combat abilities, they had dominated the dungeon, effortlessly eliminating wave after wave of enemies.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Ash summoned his second Nen beast—Charizard!
However—
Compared to Leo's expectations, Ash and the others were still progressing far too slowly.
The reason was clear—just as Leo had predicted before.
Ash was merely absorbing the power that already existed in this world, rather than creating something entirely new.
And if even Ash, the leading player, was stuck in this cycle—what did that mean for the rest of the players?
It was urgent for them to understand that power wasn't just something to inherit—it could be cultivated, refined, and expanded through dedicated research!
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, three more months had passed.
Relying on his previous experience, Leo successfully created a new small world—this time in just three months.
However, the actual size of this world was much smaller.
In fact, its real space was only one-tenth of the original New World, roughly equivalent to one-tenth of the Pokémon World's continent.
But that was more than enough.
After all, Leo had no intention of letting this world evolve or expand.
As long as it existed—that was all that mattered.
"Alright! The construction is complete. Now, it's time to reinforce this place."
Stepping into the new world, Leo surveyed the landscape.
Unlike the New World, this place didn't resemble a planet. Instead, he had simply spread a vast expanse of land into the void.
According to Leo's expectations, only the strongest warriors from other dimensions would be able to set foot here.
And once they did—
Their battles would unleash unimaginable destruction.
Without proper reinforcement, this entire world could be obliterated in an instant!
After careful thought, Leo extracted a portion of his original power and began strengthening the environment.
A bit of increased durability…
A bit of self-recovery capability…
That was enough.
He didn't overinvest in this battlefield.
After all—this world was meant to be a stage. A spectacle for combat.
If a group of top-tier warriors clashed here in a battle of thunderous intensity, but their attacks didn't even cause the ground to crack—
Well, that would ruin the experience for the audience.
So, Leo only made basic reinforcements to ensure the land could take a beating but still show visible signs of destruction during combat.
And now—
Everything was ready!
All that was left was the final push!
Not long after, a message suddenly appeared in the minds of everyone affiliated with the Transdimensional Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber's internal system had issued an urgent notice:
[To strengthen dimensional connections and maintain world stability, the Transdimensional Chamber of Commerce proudly presents—the First Interdimensional Martial Arts Tournament!]

1. A registration fee of 10,000 points.

[To all Chamber of Commerce members:]
Actively promote the Interdimensional Martial Arts Tournament!
Ensure the event's success with both quality and quantity!
[Tournament Start Date:]
Transdimensional of Commerce Chronology: August 24, 114514.
The Transdimensional Chronology was a custom function Leo had implemented specifically to prevent his subordinates from losing track of time due to the effects of void space travel.
Each individual linked to the Chamber of Commerce had a direct channel to the central system.
This ensured that even if they ventured into the void, they wouldn't experience temporal distortions—
No more cases of someone stepping out for an hour and returning a hundred years later!
As for the specific year number in the announcement…
Leo had just typed in a random number.
After all—
He had no intention of explaining it.
How they interpreted it was entirely up to them.
...
...
At the same time—
Floating in the vast void, Ace was searching for his next landing point when his expression suddenly froze.
"Huh? A new notification?"
Without hesitation, he accessed the Chamber of Commerce system within his mind. The moment he opened it, a message from Leo, issued under the name of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, appeared before him.
"The First Interdimensional Martial Arts Tournament!?"
"August 24th…? That's only three months from now!"
As if he had just stumbled upon something exciting, Ace's eyes lit up with anticipation.
But as he continued reading the announcement, his enthusiasm quickly faded.
"What!? Only merchants are allowed to participate? But I wanted to have a real fight too!"
Ever since leaving the Reborn World, Ace had encountered several low-level worlds in succession. None of them had offered him the thrill he craved—he had been itching for an adventure filled with real challenges.
With a deep sigh, he muttered to himself, "Oh well… Since it's a Chamber of Commerce event, I guess I should at least be involved for a while."
"Wouldn't want to disappoint Master Leo, after all."
In the void zone, Ace—his body wrapped in the power of his origin—suddenly came to a halt. With a graceful mid-air spin, he redirected his flight, heading back the way he came.
Despite his affiliation with the Transdimensional Chamber of Commerce, Ace's sense of belonging to it was never particularly strong.
No matter how powerful he became, no matter how many worlds he had traveled through—deep inside, he was still the same free-spirited boy he had always been.
However, he had never forgotten who had given him this life.
From the original timeline, it was evident—though Ace was incredibly proud, once he acknowledged someone as his superior, he would follow them with absolute loyalty.
So, no matter how much he loved adventure, he would always fulfill his responsibilities—one step at a time.
"I wonder… after all this time, have Tsuna and the others forgotten about me?"
Ace had spent over a year in the Reborn World, forging deep bonds with Tsuna and the others. He had personally witnessed their growth—from ordinary students to peerless warriors capable of shaking the entire Mafia world with just their presence.
The experiences they shared—the challenges, the victories, the losses—were things that outsiders could never truly understand.
So, when he thought about potential candidates for the tournament, the first people who came to mind were Tsuna and the others.
Meanwhile, Across the Multiverse…Jackie Chan Adventure World
In a quiet study, Robin was tutoring Jade in her homework when she suddenly froze.
While Jade was still struggling with a math problem, Robin quickly accessed the system within her mind.
"The First Interdimensional Martial Arts Tournament…?"
"An event hosted by the Chamber of Commerce?"
As she read through the announcement, her gaze grew thoughtful.
She turned to look at Jade, who was still deep in concentration—but after a moment of consideration, she shook her head.
"Unfortunately… there isn't enough time."
Even though Jade had grown significantly stronger, she was still far from the level Robin had envisioned for her.
Not to mention—the sheer number of formidable opponents expected at such a grand tournament might be beyond even Robin's imagination as a dimensional merchant.
At this stage, Jade would be nothing more than a small ripple in an ocean of titans.
Still, Robin wasn't without options.
She believed that—
If Valmont, Shendu, and the others were to hear about this tournament, they would definitely gather their forces and make an appearance!
Yu-Gi-Oh World
More than six months ago, in a fierce duel competition, Nami had faced off against Yugi Mutou—
And she had utterly crushed him, claiming absolute victory!
With this triumph, she had earned the supreme title of the world—[Duel King]!
But that was only the beginning.
Using her newfound status, Nami single-handedly ushered in a new era in this world—
An era where everything was decided by cards!
The Age of Gambling Duels had officially begun!
It was at Nami's insistence that Seto Kaiba personally took the lead in amending the official duel rules, officially incorporating card gambling into the game.
From that moment on, even duels outside of Duel City required participants to bet their most valuable cards.
Of course, Nami's true intention behind this change was simple—
To make earning points easier for herself!
After absorbing Marik Ishtar's former team into her ranks, Nami successfully established a new duelist organization dedicated to gambling duels.
Under her leadership, duels were no longer just battles of pride—they became high-stakes competitions where victory meant gaining power and wealth.
However, unlike reckless gamblers, Nami instilled one crucial rule:
No uncertain duels.
With her blessings and strict control over risk, the organization's profits remained consistently high.
And as for the name of this new force?
"Dimensional Merchants."
It was a casual choice—yet deliberate.
Even if she couldn't operate as a merchant in this world, she wanted the world to remember the name of the Dimensional Merchants—
Even if it had to be in an entirely different form.
At this moment—
Nami was seated comfortably inside a luxurious villa near Duel City.
Standing before her were the three generals of the Dimensional Merchant Organization—
Mai, Marik, and Jonouchi.
Jonouchi had personally sought out Nami after witnessing her defeat Yugi, eager to gain greater power under her guidance.
Recently, however, an unsettling force had emerged.
A mysterious organization had surfaced in the world, using dark games to harvest the souls of duelists.
Even some members of the Dimensional Merchant Organization had fallen victim to them.
Rather than feeling threatened, Nami found herself intrigued.
The world was becoming more and more entertaining, and she couldn't be happier.
She was in the middle of assigning new tasks to her three generals when—
Ding!
A notification suddenly echoed in her mind, interrupting her words.
She paused.
The three generals, who had been waiting for orders, immediately looked up.
They saw their boss, her eyes gleaming with excitement, a mischievous smile creeping onto her lips.
Then, after a moment of silence, Nami licked her lips slightly and declared—
"In three months, I will wipe out this organization completely."
"And after that… I'll take you all to a brand-new battlefield—where we can have some real fun!"
