Each of the clues refers to a very long word, generally one specifically coined to be long. Indexing into these words by the numbers following their clues spells out shorter words. The long words and their shorter counterparts are as follows:

• otorhinolaryngological (INHALING)
• Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (TINY)
• supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (PARTICLES)
• pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (MAY)
• floccinaucinihilipilification (INFLICT)
• honorificabilitudinitatibus (THIS)
• antidisestablishmentarianism (DISEASE)

Reading the shorter words in order gives the clue phrase INHALING TINY PARTICLES MAY INFLICT THIS DISEASE. Following the pattern established previously, this is a clue for PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS. Indexing into this word by the numbers at the bottom spells out the final answer, SILICON.

Each of the clues leads to an two or three-letter abbreviation. Solvers will quickly notice that the abbreviations on the left and right are reflections of each other. Connecting the pairs of reversed abbreviations gives this:

From top to bottom, the letters crossed by the lines spell out INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER. The abbreviation for this is ISP, which can be reversed to make the answer, PSI, short for Pounds per Square Inch.

It would not be unreasonable for somebody to think the answer could be ISP, Pounds per Square Inch, or even Internet Service Provider. Fortunately, there is no penalty for guessing a couple options. Were the answer checker more sophisticated, I would have had it respond with confirm all three of those options as close.

Each of the given fictional characters famously betrays one or more other characters The names of these characters fit in the given blanks. The betrayer/betrayed pairs are:

• Stinky Pete – WOODY (Toy Story 2)
• Iago – OTHELLO – (Othello)
• Peter Pettigrew – JAMES & LILY POTTER (Harry Potter)
• Brutus – JULIUS CAESAR (Julius Caesar)
• Lando Calrissian – HAN SOLO (Star Wars)
• Hans – ANNA (Frozen)
• Ernesto – HÉCTOR (Coco)

A few of the characters betray larger groups, but the principal target of their betrayal is the one given. The boxed letters from the answers spell out DELILAH. In the Bible, in the book of Judges, Delilah betrays SAMSON to the Philistines.

This word search contains the names of thirty Pokémon from the first generation of games. The completed grid looks like this:

The leftover letters spell out the phrase FULLY-EVOLVED FORM OF MISSING THREE-STAGE EVOLUTION IN GEN ONE. In the first generation of Pokémon games, there are sixteen three-stage evolutionary lines, ranging from Bulbasaur-Ivysaur-Venusaur to Dratini-Dragonair-Dragonite. Each of the names hidden in the puzzle comes from one of these lines, and in fact, the thirty Pokémon consist of two Pokémon from each of fifteen of the sixteen evolutionary lines.

The one missing line which does not appear in the word search is Weedle-Kakuna-Beedrill. The fully-evolved Pokémon in this set is BEEDRILL.
