Chapter 91

Lance: My Dragonite has been turned?

Chapter 91 Lance: My Dragonite has been turned?

In the chapter about riding dragons, there is a very obsessive person.

Well, to sum it up, he seems to think that the Pokémon world is a bit too urbanized.

He wanted to eliminate most of the lower classes of humanity, leaving only the best elite trainers. In doing so, he would create a utopia where only a select few elite trainers and Pokémon existed.

Perhaps this is the reason why Watari "accepted" Sawaki just now.

He's become one of Lance's "elite trainers" in his blueprint. How come Lance, who just became one of the Elite Four, already has this idea?

Ze Shu remained silent for a moment.

Watching Lance use the power of Viridian to heal Dragonite, he wondered if he should just knock him unconscious from behind and neatly finish off this future villainous leader of the Kanto Elite Four.

But he later abandoned the plan.

Putting aside whether it's easy to make a move within the Quartz Alliance, how tough is Dragonflight's head, and how great are the subsequent risks?

Most importantly: he doesn't have a weapon on him right now!

But what if there's another chance to ambush someone next time? Hmm, maybe I should prepare a surprise attack before leaving the Pokémon League.

"Woolen cloth."

Suddenly, Lance felt a slight chill creep up his spine and involuntarily turned around. "Sawaki, do you need me to heal your Glaceon?"

He maintained a very humble attitude.

It seems he hasn't reached the level of a villain like the one in the special episode yet.

But Ze Shu shook his head: "Don't bother me."

Lance gave an "oh" and then turned back to heal Dragonite.

Just then, Glaceon bounced back, tilting its little head with a pleading expression: "Eevee~"

It seems that the injury just now has no effect on it at all.

"You—we need to be more careful in future battles."

Ze Shu smiled, reached out and gently rubbed the slightly swollen and hot skin on the side of Eevee, then took out a powerful wound medicine he always carried and gently sprayed it on.

A beeping sound rang out as the spray was released.

The warm skin felt a refreshing coolness as the trainer carefully applied the spray treatment.

Ice Eevee tilted its head back slightly, its cheeks flushed, and it hummed contentedly, "Eevee, Eevee~~"

In no time at all.

Sawaki rubbed Eevee's slightly flushed and warm face and said with a smile, "It's healed."

Enjoying its meal, Glaceon showed a reluctant expression: "Eee~"

"Sawaki, I can feel your connection to Pokémon even if—well, even just watching from the sidelines."

From the side came Lance's earnest voice. He had also healed Dragonite and was slowly walking over.

Then he continued, "The previous conversation took up a little time. But let's get back to the main topic. I heard you need something done in Guandu? Perhaps I can help you."

"Um-."

After thinking for a moment, Zeki finally spoke up: "I want to use Kanto's intelligence system to find someone."

Although doing so might expose Xiao Lan to Yu Longdu, there was no other way but to do so, as it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Besides, even if he doesn't say anything now about his relationship with Xiao Lan, he can't hide it from Du if he really wants to investigate.

It would be better to find Xiao Lan as soon as possible.

Although he was just thinking about how to ambush Du, he and Du were not necessarily enemies.

After all, at this stage, it seems that the idea of ​​"de-urbanization" is not so deeply ingrained yet, so perhaps a "personality correction punch" can be given.

Soon, Yulongdu left.

He was dispatching intelligence within the alliance system.

All that remained was Dragonite, sitting dumbfounded on the smooth ground, clutching its stomach. It looked around but couldn't find its trainer, its face showing an innocent expression. However, its chubby little hand somehow produced a "small cookie," which it began to eat.

Upon witnessing this scene.

Zeshu: "—

So it turns out that his previous thought that A-Du's Dragonite was fat was really due to overeating.

He thought that Dragonite was just naturally "fat".

Dragonite quickly finished the snacks it had taken out.

It patted itself down again, but found no snacks. A dejected look appeared on its face, and the two tentacle caps on its head slid down: "Whoosh~"

Ze Shu: "Here, eat this, it's very potent."

He threw the "Angry Bun" he was carrying at the Dragonite—it was a snack that the Six-Tails had confiscated.

"Huh?"

Dragonite blinked its bright eyes, and then its chubby body displayed remarkable agility, accurately catching the "Angry Bun." It then called out gratefully to Sawaki and began to nibble on the bun.

The more it gnawed, the more it revealed its "devouring" expression.

Zeshu approached at the opportune moment and poked its chubby belly. Dragonite didn't mind at all, and even generously exposed its belly, allowing Zeshu to take the paw.

It's soft and even a little bouncy—this Dragonite doesn't have the 'Multiscale' trait, and it feels quite nice to touch.

To be honest, Zeki also wanted his own Dragonite.

The silly Pokémon "Rex" from the anime left a deep impression on him. Although its battle record was terrible, who wouldn't like such a cute and clumsy Pokémon?

Hmm, if possible, another shiny Dragonair would be nice. Speaking of which, it seems the Dragon Tamers in Mokumo City, where Wataru lives, keep quite a few Dratini.

"Ha. I want everything."

Ze Shu suddenly smiled, realizing that he had been daydreaming.

Soon after, Yulongdu returned.

As soon as he returned, he saw that Zeshu had already become inseparable from his Dragonite. The Dragonite lay on the ground with its belly exposed, and it didn't seem to mind Zeshu rubbing it vigorously—after all, Zeshu was the kind person who fed it.

But this surprised Yu Longdu.

It seems like he's already been turned by Dragonite after just a short absence.

"Cough—" Shaking his head, Yulongdu said, "Ze Shu, the person you're looking for happens to have some relevant clues in our alliance—her figure was captured by the gate security system of Yuhong City just half a day ago."

"Yuhong City..."

Ze Shu nodded thoughtfully and replied, "Thanks."

Just as Yulongdu was about to shake his head and say there was no need for thanks, he only saw Zeshu's retreating figure and heard him say:

"See you later, A-Du. I'll keep in touch with you."

Dragon Crossing:

...—

The Dragonite, no longer being petted by Sawaki, thought: "Huh?"

Why did you stop rubbing?

Yuhong City.

In the Kanto region, this is the second largest urban area after Goldenrod City, where Silph's headquarters are located. This city has everything: gyms, department stores, skyscrapers, and even an arcade.

"one"

As the spaceship came to a stop in the suburbs, Li Yang lay on the edge of the deck, his eyes shining as he exclaimed in amazement.

It had never seen such a huge city!

"Li Yang, are you going down?" Ze Shu asked casually as he passed by.

Yi Yi Yang decisively shook his head.

A huge city represents countless people. If it's just a tiny lamb, it'll be kicked around like a wool ball.

Although it is currently generating electricity for the spaceship, and the amount of electricity it generates is not much, it has made considerable progress over time and is a little bit stronger than before. Perhaps we shouldn't be so 'cautious'.

But it is a sheep with extraordinary wisdom!

It won't go to 'dangerous' places unless it's absolutely certain that everything will go smoothly.

It doesn't ask for much; just enjoying the scenery is enough.

"Alright." Ze Shu smiled helplessly. "Then let's go down."

"—"

But when he arrived at Yuhong City, he had just reached the main gate.

The scene before him made Ze Shu somewhat doubt the level of order in Yuhong City: groups of people dressed in black, with fierce expressions, grabbed people on the roadside and began to "interrogate" them.

It's just like the underworld.

"Tell me, are you the woman who cheated? Surrender now, and don't try to defy the power of our gaming center!"

One of them suddenly grabbed a middle-aged man with a full beard who was passing by and demanded an explanation.

"I...I—" the middle-aged man stammered, pointing incredulously to his large belly and stubble. "How do I look like a woman to you?!"

"That's hard to say, strip him naked!"

"..—.Hey hey hey, no, don't—"

"Tch, you're not even as good as the horns on a unicorn, but you're definitely not a woman, so I'll let you off the hook."

The men in black left in a rush, leaving only an uncle who had just put on his trousers and had a helpless, tearful expression on his face.

Ze Shu released his hand from Rokuba's eyes, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "This..."

This group—though they didn't have a big "R" tattooed on their clothes—is undoubtedly Team Rocket! Their mention of "game city" just now proves it.

But before he could think it through, the group of reckless Team Rocket members set their sights on him.

"Hey you, holding a Pokémon. He looks pretty cool, but I've heard that girls dressed as boys are all handsome! Tell me,"

Are you that woman?

"We work at an arcade, so behave yourselves and take your clothes off!"

Zeki: "...—

He frowned slightly: "Which woman?"

Are they really that arrogant? These Rockets players.

Although they're known as the underworld of the gaming city, this is still within the city.

"Just take your clothes off when we tell you to, and we'll verify it ourselves!"

But his words went unanswered, and instead, a fierce-looking Team Rocket member appeared before him.

The Team Rocket member swung his thick arm toward Sawaki's shoulder, seemingly intending to knock the Six-Tails off his shoulder before personally stripping Sawaki of his clothes to verify whether he was indeed a "woman".

But having witnessed the miserable state of the man he had just encountered, Ze Shu couldn't bear to be exposed like that.

"Get lost." He uttered only one word.

"Ooming!"

With a soft cry from Six-Tails, a cold wind surged, and a thick, snow-laden torrent called "Fine Snow" was spewed from Six-Tails' mouth like a sneeze, instantly pouring into the chest of the Team Rocket member.

He let out a scream as his sturdy body was thrown heavily to the ground by the force of the snow surge, and he immediately fell unconscious.

"Ooh-ming~"

Easily solved.

Liuwei simply yawned lightly, blowing away the remaining snowflakes in its mouth.

"You—you!"

"Damn it!"

"How dare you resist—"

The remaining Team Rocket members were shocked, but before they could even brazenly summon their Pokémon...

Suddenly, another clear, melodious whistling sound rang out, and the Snow Fairy, like a ghost, appeared in a flash, a freezing wind sweeping across the field.

And it gradually rose on their bodies, spreading and freezing.

The Rockets members present all seemed to feel a chill on their feet, and before they knew it, their entire lower bodies were frozen. Some panicked and even involuntarily fell to the ground, their joints bending backward, making a "crack" sound as their bones came off.

The Poké Balls they almost threw were also frozen and couldn't be opened at all.

Ze Shu: "...—"

What kind of players did the Rockets sign?

Even from the investigator's perspective, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the Rockets.

If these lackeys were all key members of Team Rocket, Giovanni would probably have to disband Team Rocket overnight, let alone rule the world.

"Spare us, spare us, good trainer, good trainer—you are definitely not a woman!" They looked terrified, their bodies trembling as if they knew they had encountered an opponent they could not defeat. "We were just following the boss's orders."

"Don't make a sound," Ze Shu said.

"Please—ah, we won't argue, we'll do whatever you say."

......

Composing himself, Ze Shu stepped forward. "Who is this woman you're talking about? What did she do? Why are you even investigating men?"

"Woman, woman—" Their bodies trembled before one of them said in a trembling voice, "Our boss said that a woman cheated at our Yuhong Game City, stole a lot of money and items, and also stole something very important from our game city."

"As for why we even searched men, it's because the boss said that woman is incredibly skilled at disguise and can transform into any appearance. So we have to strip every inconspicuous person naked to confirm their identity."

"......

Ze Shu frowned and asked a series of questions: "Who is that woman? And what does she look like? Do you know anything about her?"

Are you still in the city?

The man replied, trembling:

"No, I don't know - she should still be in the city, because our boss has sealed off the gates, so she shouldn't be able to get out."

"Trainer, you see, I've satisfied your curiosity in such detail, could you please let us go?"

"Our game center can blockade the entire Yuhong City."

He didn't forget to give a final "hint" about their considerable power.

Ze Shu nodded: "Okay."

The Rockets player beamed with joy: "Thanks, ie—"

But before he could finish his words of gratitude, he fainted as if his soul had been ripped out. Then, all the Team Rocket members present, their faces filled with terror, collapsed one after another.

After they all collapsed, the Snow Fairy's delicate, petite body appeared, and she gently nuzzled Ze Shu with her squinted eyes, saying, "Mmm~"

"Sigh," Ze Shu sighed as he stood inside the circle of unconscious people in black, squeezing the mischievous little hand of the Snow Fairy. "How come she caused such a big mess as soon as I came to find her?"

There's no need to even think about it.

They're capable of acting, disguising themselves, and have the audacity to make such a big fuss—

The "woman" that the Team Rocket members were talking about was undoubtedly the little blue he was looking for.
