Little Blue: It's over!

Chapter 92 Little Blue: It's over!

From above, the entire city of Yuhong appears as if black quicksand is constantly surging and destroying on the huge city model, continuously turning the remaining bits of other colors scattered on the model into flesh color.

Seeing this, even the residents of Yuhong City who usually live there thought the thugs at Yuhong Game City had gone mad.

Even though they had long known and were used to the "gangster" nature of Yuhong Game City.

But they didn't expect their operation to be so large-scale and so arrogant! Aren't they afraid of being sanctioned by the alliance?

I heard that something was stolen from the arcade.

But what exactly is missing?

A small alley in Yuhong City.

Slightly out of breath, the brown-haired girl gently patted her heaving chest.

"Hmph, hmph, it's just that I stole a few things, is it really necessary to arrest me on such a large scale?"

"But, ten thousand, twenty thousand, fifty thousand—that's a total of one hundred and twenty-five thousand yuan! Hehe, this arcade really makes a lot of money. Just a casual theft and they've already made so much. I'll come back to steal again next time!"

"Now I can buy lots more items to upgrade my Pokémon's strength!"

Counting the money in her hand, the girl's tone became excited, "I'm one step closer to breaking back and saving Ze Shu!"

"However, it's this thing that caused such a commotion—" She then looked at another cassette tape-like object in her hand, which she had grabbed while stealing the money, "It seems to contain information about some powerful Pokémon, so it's mine, Little Blue!"

"If we can use this tape to find that powerful Pokémon—"

Thinking of this, Xiao Lan pursed her lips, "I can definitely rescue Ze Shu!"

She was planning to take all the spoils back.

Unexpectedly, they heard shouts from not far away: "There's movement in that alley over there! It sounds like someone's hiding there! Gather together! Come quick! It might be that thief—."

"Oh no—" Xiao Lan was startled. "I was too relaxed just now, and my movements were a bit too rough."

She was trying to look around and move to another location immediately.

Unexpectedly, less than three seconds after the shout, a group of people in khaki clothes suddenly surged into the alley, accompanied by Pokémon such as Rhyperior and Machamp. They were likely elite members of the "Game City".

They all saw Xiao Lan in the corner of the alley and surrounded her.

One of the men, clearly the leader, stepped forward:

"There really is someone here! What are you doing hiding here so suspiciously! Are you a thief who stole our things!"

Seeing this, Xiao Lan, who originally wanted to escape quickly, paused for a moment, almost imperceptibly.

She put on an innocent expression and said in a pitiful voice, "You...you searched so thoroughly in the city, I..."

I was scared, so I hid here—”

"snort!"

But the Rockets' leader wasn't having any of it. "Miss, we need to check anyway. But since you're a woman, you should voluntarily remove all your belongings until we know you have nothing on you, to prove you're not a thief!"

Xiao Lan's expression didn't change much; she said fearfully, "Okay, okay—"

Although she didn't show any outward change, she became nervous inside.

It’s over.

How can she, a thief, prove that she isn't a thief?

Xiao Lan first pulled out one or two banknotes from her pocket in a serious manner, and said hurriedly as if nervously, "This, this is all my money—"

The money she stole is naturally hers!

The Rockets' leader nodded without suspicion; after all, money wasn't important. He simply watched the girl's next move.

Then the girl took out another banknote, another banknote, and yet another banknote...

They began to have doubts: "Is this really your money?"

Xiao Lan said embarrassedly, "I have a lot of money on me—"

Rockets' leader: "Then bring it all out!"

Xiao Lan said awkwardly, "Okay, okay—"

It can happen immediately.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the Rockets, Xiao Lan maintained an innocent expression, but suddenly produced an armful of banknotes, which were stacked up to about thirty centimeters high.

She looked ashamed: "This...this is everything I have—"

"You—" The Rockets leader's eyes widened. This stack of cash was worth at least tens of thousands of League coins. "You're a suspect—"

But he had only uttered a few words.

But then the girl in front of him suddenly revealed a smug smile: "Little turtle!"

Heh!

Suddenly, an explosion occurred, and banknotes scattered everywhere, obscuring the view of all the Team Rocket members present, and chaotic shouts of surprise rang out.

"Oh no! Armored Tyrannosaurus, scatter these banknotes!"

But the Team Rocket leader had just given the order, and his Pokémon had not yet moved.

Then they heard the sound of water spraying out from within the smoke of the banknotes.

A Blastoise, with its head down, was seen continuously spraying jets of water from its shoulder cannons onto the ground. The resulting recoil propelled the Blastoise's large body into the air.

Of course, the Blastoise's thick limbs protected the girl, holding her firmly in place, and carried her into the sky. "Although I'm very reluctant to part with all this money, but—" the girl's cheerful voice came down from the sky, "Goodbye!"

The Rockets' leader glared angrily: "Damn it!!"

But his Pokémon follows Giovanni's type—Ground-type. The opponent flies a certain distance in the air...

He would be unable to attack.

"She'll definitely land! Go, find where she landed!" he roared. "With such a commotion, everyone can see it. I refuse to believe that with so many people in Yuhong City, we can't catch this thief!"

"We absolutely, positively must get that thing back!" Knowing a little about the situation, he gritted his teeth. "Otherwise—"

The thought of the consequences of losing that thing sent a chill down his spine.

In an instant.

Almost all the Team Rocket members in the city, as well as some low-level thugs who actually worked in the game arcade, joined in, all rushing towards the blue dot in the sky above Celadon City.

Look at the situation below.

"Hmph—did you think that by taking off this way, I'd land?"

The little blue figure in the sky laughed, "Your turn—Little Fatty!"

She swung a Poké Ball through the air, and a round Jigglypuff appeared beside her. Without her command, Jigglypuff inflated with a "puff puff" sound, quickly turning into a hot air balloon that could float people.

"Little turtle, you've worked hard!" Little Blue said.

Amidst the howling wind high above, she swiftly detached herself from the gushing water Blastoise, then deftly perched on Jigglypuff's swollen body, using her other hand to precisely recall the Blastoise in mid-air with its Poké Ball.

This set of maneuvers is extremely difficult to execute in the air, but she completed it very smoothly.

It is evident that the girl possesses exceptional flexibility and control over her body.

"Let's go!"

Burying her face in Jigglypuff's body, Xiao Lan couldn't help but chuckle. "If Ze Shu were here, he'd definitely have Eevee shooting Ice Beams right here!"

"No, if Zeshu were here, I wouldn't need to steal—no, wait, what if Zeshu is also short of money? Then I could steal money from the arcade for him, and steal some for Zeshu too—."

Thinking randomly.

Xiao Lan's expression suddenly fell: "It's a pity Ze Shu isn't here, but just then..."

Jigglypuff let out a frightened sound, warning of impending danger: "Pfft!!"

Boom!

Suddenly, flames exploded from the body of the chubby guy beneath her. Even though she was lying on top of the chubby guy and her view was obscured, Little Blue could still see the sparks that shattered below.

immediately.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~

The chubby guy below let out a whirring sound: "Puff—puff!"

You can feel Jigglypuff losing its grip and gradually falling, with the speed of its descent increasing.

Xiao Lan finally showed a look of panic: "This is really, really over—"

Just like Ze Shu said, he finally got himself into trouble because he was too clever for his own good!

Jigglypuff can fly continuously, but its flight speed is not fast, and it is easy to become a target!

Standing at the top of Yuhong Game City.

Just as the Houndoom at his feet exhaled the remaining flames from its mouth, it saw the "balloon" above, now hit, falling even faster.

Rockets executive Apollo's tense expression gradually relaxed, and he spoke sharply into the walkie-talkie in his hand:

"All the Team Rocket teams in the city, surround them!"

Apollo put down the walkie-talkie, a brutal expression on his face.

From an overhead view, one can see the city below gradually encircling the target, creating a dense mass of black dots. Those are all Team Rocket's subordinates, proof of Team Rocket's prosperity and its ability to dominate the world!

"Hmph, if that little thief gets away with this, I'll change my name to something else!"

"I'll see who this little thief is! How dare she interfere with Team Rocket's biggest plan! I'll make her suffer!"

"It's all over, it's all over, it's all over!"

As Xiao Lan felt herself getting closer to the ground, her expression became increasingly panicked.

As she fell, she could see the ever-growing swarm of black dots closing in. Even a small group of these dots attacking her was enough to keep her busy; so many... it was a truly desperate situation!

In particular, the place where she fell was in a grassy area on the north side of the city.

"We can't get caught!"

She still has to save Ze Shu!

Her life wasn't just her own; at least before rescuing Ze Shu, it also belonged to Ze Shu—

Boom!

Little Blue and Jigglypuff crashed into the ground together.

Fortunately, thanks to the cushioning effect of Fatty's final burst of jets, Little Blue successfully made an emergency landing. Although the violent recoil made her feel as if her internal organs were being shaken together, causing her immense discomfort for a moment.

But we can't stop yet.

Xiao Lan suppressed her nausea, propped herself up, and took a Poké Ball from her waist:

"Little Turtle—"

"roar-"

A white light flashed, and Blastoise's massive body blocked her path. Needless to say, its metallic cannon barrel lit up.

The cannon barrel was pointed at the countless Team Rocket members pressing in from the front.

At this moment, it was like a city besieged by zombies.

!!!

Water cannons continuously blasted out from the water jet turtle cannon barrels.

But it can only stop a portion of the people.

Xiao Lan had already seen numerous moves from opposing Pokémon hitting Blastoise, causing it to sway unsteadily with its back to her brown shell. If this continued, she wouldn't be able to hold out much longer.

But she looked around at the enemies who were almost completely surrounded, and the chaotic shouts were endless.

There seemed to be no way to escape.

Since that's the case. —

Blue pulled a cassette tape from his pocket and shouted to the Team Rocket members who were closing in, "Isn't this your most important thing? Want it? Getting it will make you the biggest contributor!"

After saying that, she tossed herself into the Rockets' crowd without a second thought.

This caused some chaos.

But Xiao Lan didn't care about their scramble for the tape; instead, she kept observing the surrounding situation after the chaos ensued.

But the more she observed, the more her brows furrowed: "No."

She had hoped there would be a loophole that would allow her to slip out.

But there were too many people!

It seemed there was absolutely no chance of breaking out.

"We can't get out at all—" Her voice was filled with despair. "Little Turtle, get ready—"

She was going to let Blastoise carry her flying again.

But unlike before, having Blastoise carry her into the air now carries considerable risk. After all, without Jigglypuff, she'd most likely be swallowed up by the crowd.

But now she has no choice but to give it her all!

This might be her last chance. Little Blue pursed her lips and pointed to the sparsest spot she had observed in the crowd, preparing to have Blastoise take her to try this low-probability opportunity.

But suddenly.

Splash-

It seemed as if snow was falling on the surface, accompanied by occasional icicles.

Xiao Lan was stunned for a moment: "It's summer now, is this snow a farewell gift for me?!"

But the unusual snowfall did not affect her decision. She straddled Blastoise's body, ready to 'launch'.

But it was at this moment, when the ice and electricity had almost run out, that things started to change.

"Buyi!"

Accompanied by the clear chirping of the ice-blue beast.

A blizzard, powerful enough to engulf the entire area, suddenly descended, accompanied by ice lightning, instantly turning the whole region white.

The seemingly chaotic blizzard also threw the Team Rocket members surrounding the area into disarray, with a constant stream of noise.

The "flaws" that Xiao Lan had been hoping for were all revealed one by one.

If it were an ordinary person, she would surely have quickly seized upon this "flaw".

But at this moment, Blue proved it, and the body that was preparing on Blastoise paused for a moment:

"This...this voice"

She looked around incredulously, as if she couldn't believe the Eevee's cry she had just heard—although all Eevee cries sound similar, she was very familiar with this one and she was absolutely certain she wouldn't mistake it.

Suddenly, she seemed to see a familiar face flash by in the chaotic crowd, and that face even waved at her.

This made her pupils shrink sharply, and she quickly came to her senses.

"Little Turtle! Launch! Over there! Over there! Quickly!"

The blizzard didn't last long and quickly "passed away." It also caused very little damage; in fact, one could say the blizzard was practically a charade.

Top floor of Yuhong Game City.

"asshole!!"

"Search!! Search the whole city!!"

After shouting, Luo Bo'a, in a fit of emotion, slammed the walkie-talkie in his hand to the ground.

Boom!

Parts were scattered everywhere.

And coincidentally, below him was the interior of the Yuhong Game City.

"Those people who searched the whole city probably never imagined that the most dangerous place was the safest place."

The girl's voice was still cheerful, though perhaps tinged with a sob of disbelief, "But I never imagined that in such a dangerous situation, I would—"

"Uh-huh."

Ze Shu's somewhat muffled voice rang out.

He awkwardly tilted his head back, but couldn't escape the slender fingers that had never left his cheek. He could only straighten his face and say:

"I know you're incredulous, Xiao Lan, but you don't have to rub my face like that! You'll be responsible if you ruin it!"
