White Boat: Yo! Sashiburida na!

Chapter 360 White Boat: Yo! Sashiburida na!

It wasn't that Bai Zhou was slacking off.

As the Rainbow Rockets' number one thorn in their side, he will definitely become the focus of their attention and surveillance whenever he appears in public.

To avoid alerting the fish, he decided to try using himself as bait to see if he could catch a few big fish that took the bait.

While using the competition as cover, secretly investigate the opponent's personnel deployment in Wind City.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the square, his superpowers detected several malicious emotions mixed in with the joyful crowd.

There's a murderous aura about it.

Little A also popped up at the right time to join in the fun.

"Little A's Assistant reminds you: Challenge Mission - The Road to the All-Around Champion (Part 3) has been released!"

"Mission Name: Pokémon All-Around Competition! Showcase the bond between humans and Pokémon! Become the all-around champion with your partners!"

Mission Objective (Phase 3): Win the Skills Challenge!

Mission Rewards: 3 Rare Candies, 1 Luxury Ball, 1 Zeraora Mega Evolution Stone

Zeraora Mega Evolution Stone?

Bai Zhou's eyes flickered slightly.

If I remember correctly, there really is a Zeraora hiding in the forest of Wind City.

However, he didn't take the reward too seriously.

Since we don't have a cat at home, keeping this stone won't be of much use for us for now.

At this moment, the host, Xiao Hutao, stood on the stage in the center of the square with great energy, and her energetic voice spread throughout the venue through the amplification equipment.

Welcome to the All-Around Skills Competition! To celebrate the festival! In accordance with the traditions of Wind City's holidays! This year's skills competition will be—a Pokémon Catching Contest!

"Six hours to catch! Within the entire Wind City area, use the specially made Competition Balls provided by us to catch as many of the designated Pokémon bearing our logo as possible!"

"The final winner will be determined based on the overall score of the Pokémon caught! So—let's begin!"

The rules were simpler and more straightforward than Bai Zhou had imagined, and he yawned lazily.

"This is just collecting encyclopedia entries everywhere—it requires absolutely no skill."

"That sounds interesting!"

Ash's eyes were shining, and Pikachu on his shoulder was excitedly chirping "Pika Pika!"

"Master! Let's set off together!"

"Okay, okay, I'll play along with you."

Bai Zhou answered absentmindedly, his eyes scanning the surroundings of the square.

Those undisguised malicious emotions still lingered: the food stalls, the rooftop of the souvenir shop, and—the sunglasses-wearing man disguised as a contestant, pretending to tie his shoelaces.

He withdrew his gaze, having no intention of taking action himself, and simply sent a message to Azure.

Just keep an eye on it, don't do anything yet.

Then, he was dragged into the crowd by some overly excited idiot.

"Look, senior! There's a Slowpoke over there!"

"Okay, go collect it."

"Ah! There's another Fiery Sparrow!"

Okay, keep it up.

"Master, why aren't you enthusiastic at all! This is a competition!"

"I'm very proactive—"

Bai Zhou let Xiao Zhi drag him all over the street, but in reality, he was constantly expanding his superpower perception, secretly trying to detect any abnormal emotional fluctuations around him.

Until a muffled running sound came from afar and grew closer!

Dust billowed at the corner at the end of the street.

A massive Tyranitar charged wildly toward them!

The stalls along the way were smashed to pieces, and the crowds scattered in panic!

"It's Bangilas!"

Ash stood on the skybridge, watching Tyranitar getting closer and closer, without the slightest fear in his eyes.

"Pikachu! Let's go! Quick Attack!"

Pikachu leaped off his shoulder, transforming into a golden bolt of lightning that left afterimages in mid-air before crashing straight into Tyranitar's head!

Bangilas also swayed slightly from the impact, and his speed noticeably decreased.

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Zhi jumped off the at least three-meter-high overpass without thinking!

"Drink!"

He landed on Bangiras's thick neck, his hands gripping the bony protrusions on its back tightly.

With all his muscles tense, he actually tried to use pure physical strength to forcibly stop this behemoth weighing tons from moving forward!

Bai Zhou, who was standing nearby, twitched slightly at the corner of his eye when he saw this.

This kid—

They really are as inhuman as ever.

However, based on his absolute trust in Ash's superhuman physique, he originally did not intend to take action.

It's just a mere Bangila.

But just as Bangiras passed by...

Bai Zhou's eyes narrowed slightly.

Not right.

That Bangila's eye—

An abnormal dark red glow emanated from the depths of his pupils, as if his mind had been affected by some drug or device.

"As expected of Team Rainbow Rocket."

Bai Zhou instantly understood.

This bangir didn't go out of control by accident; it was manipulated by someone with the intention of creating chaos.

Or worse, it could directly cause a stampede in a densely populated area.

Ash was still struggling against Tyranitar, his body swaying from side to side as he was being tossed around, but he stubbornly refused to let go.

"This guy—"

Bai Zhou sighed, his gaze sweeping towards the direction where Bangiras was about to charge.

The food street is busiest on weekend afternoons.

If it gets in, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Gardevoir, Teleport!"

As the command was given, Gardevoir gently waved her hand beside him, causing space to distort and fold.

The next instant, he appeared at the intersection leading to the food street, facing the charging Bangiras.

He raised his hand and threw out another dark ball.

A flash of light!

A small figure fell from the ground and landed steadily on the concrete in the middle of the street!

The concrete ground dented slightly from the impact of the small figure's fall, sending up a ring of gravel!

It was Young Cyrus.

People on the roadside had already noticed what was happening and exclaimed in surprise.

"What is that child doing!"

"Isn't this suicide?! Whose trainer is so irresponsible?!"

"Get out of the way! You'll get trampled!"

The crowd on the food street began to scatter in panic, screams and shoving mixed together.

Ash was still clinging to Tyranitar, desperately trying to turn it around.

But Bangiras had completely lost control and didn't care what was hanging on his body.

Young Gilas, not understanding what was happening, scratched his head in confusion, and then saw the heavily armored monster charging towards him.

It covered its head in fear.

Plan

Like a thunderclap from a clear sky!

The shockwave blew over the parasols of more than a dozen nearby stalls, and scattered flyers and ribbons all over the ground!

It even made the onlookers close their eyes!

Everyone stared in disbelief.

The enormous Tyranitar seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall of steel, coming to a halt in place. Its body tilted forward due to inertia, and its massive head almost slammed into Young Tyranitar.

but.

Young Gilas's raised front paw rested lightly on the center of Tyranitar's forehead.

And so, gently press against it.

Not moving.

"Yo—chirp?"

Young Gilas peeked out from between his fingers, looking at the big guy in front of him who had suddenly stopped, with a puzzled expression.

An eerie silence fell over the entire street.

Everyone is stupid.

Ash was thrown around so hard by the momentum that his head was spinning. He was staring blankly at Larvitar below, his brain completely blank.

"W-what's going on?"

He was just trying his best to stop Bangilas, and now it suddenly—

It stopped moving?

Then, I don't know who spoke first.

"How...how is this possible?!"

"That's a Young Tyranitar?! It used its body to block the out-of-control Tyranitar? What's the difference between that and a human stopping a speeding truck with their bare hands?!"

"Wait, who is the trainer of this baby Gila?! Oh, it's Dr. Shirafusa. That's alright, I understand."

"A direct confrontation with an evolved form! Is this the Pokémon Dr. Shirafune bred? Terrifyingly powerful—"

"Mom, that older brother looks like the researcher from Pokémon! Can I marry him when I grow up?"

"Silly child, look closely, that's Dr. Bai Zhou! Don't even mention you, Daddy wants to marry him too!"

"Get lost! If anyone's going to marry, it'll be me!"

After a brief moment of shock, the crowd erupted in cheers and screams, showing no sign of having just survived a crisis. At this moment, the bewildered Young Gilas had already released Tyranitar and walked back to White Boat's feet as if nothing had happened, looking up at him with clear eyes.

Bai Zhou crouched down and gently rubbed its head.

"Well done."

He paused, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

"I'll give you an extra meal tonight."

Young Gilas's eyes lit up instantly.

Ash slid off Tyranitar and looked anxiously at White Boat.

"Master! Something's completely wrong with Tyranitar! It—"

"I've been controlled by someone."

Bai Zhou interrupted him, stood up and walked to the side of Tyranitar, gently placing his hand on its body, and quietly activating the power of the Overlord.

The crimson in Bangilas's eyes gradually faded, replaced by bewilderment and confusion.

It had completely forgotten what it had just been doing, and looked around in confusion, not understanding why it was there.

"Come in and rest for a while."

Bai Zhou swung a ball with his backhand and brought it in; the ball only wobbled slightly before settling back into stillness.

He stared at the competition ball in his hand, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Dark energy—tsk—"

I'm a little annoyed.

The Rainbow Rockets are pulling these dirty tricks right in front of him, do they really think he doesn't exist?

Bai Zhou used his superpowers to sense the emotions of the people around him, then his eyes sharpened, and he walked straight towards another competitor in the crowd.

This is no ordinary competitor!

We must strike hard!

In the crowd, the man in sunglasses stood stiffly, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

His superiors tasked him with monitoring Bai Zhou and creating some chaos to test his reaction.

So he chose this Tyranitar and used the organization's newly developed "Dark Potion" to orchestrate this accident.

But—who the hell could have imagined this!

Who can withstand Tyranitar's full-force charge head-on?!

What on earth did this young Gilas eat to grow up?! Steel blocks?!

The man in sunglasses couldn't help but spit inwardly, then turned around, intending to retreat into the depths of the crowd and disappear completely.

But a voice rang out from behind, carrying an unusually overly friendly enthusiasm.

"Yo! Sasipuri da na!"

Bai Zhou smiled and strode forward, putting her arm around the man in sunglasses' shoulder and "bringing" him out of the crowd.

"I didn't expect you to participate in the competition too! What? It's only been a few days, and you've already forgotten who I am?"

The Rainbow Rockets members, disguised as competitors, were completely bewildered, their minds blank.

He never expected that as the monitor, he would suddenly be approached by the target of his surveillance!

No—are we that close?

You called me?

What is my identity? What is your identity?

He was about to struggle and resist.

Bai Zhou's hidden elbow had already slammed hard into his lower back.

boom!

A muffled thud!

The man in sunglasses jerked his legs apart, and a piercing, bone-scraping pain instantly shot through his entire body from his lower back.

White foam uncontrollably spilled from the corners of his mouth, and he slumped to the ground.

Before losing consciousness, only one thought appeared in my mind.

Kidney — Kidney stone — It seems — It's broken —

"Oh! What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?!"

Bai Zhou seemed to only then notice his companion's "abnormality," and an anxious look instantly appeared on his face as he tightened his grip on the man's arm.

"Low blood sugar! It must be low blood sugar! Take a deep breath! Dizziness is normal! Come on, lean on me, don't be afraid!"

While loudly "explaining," he directly helped the limp man in sunglasses up, and at the same time gave Xiaozhi a wink to signal him to follow.

Then they quickly squeezed through the crowd that had surrounded them.

"Make way! Make way! We need to get to the Pokémon Center quickly!"

The crowd that had initially wanted to crowd around for autographs made way upon hearing this, and some even shouted, "Make way! Someone has fainted! Don't block the way!"

Bai Zhou, holding the "big fish" aboard, had a slight smile on his lips.

Fishing successful.

Their footsteps quickly disappeared around the street corner.

Xiao Zhi paused for a second, then scratched his head.

Pikachu perched on his shoulder, exchanged a glance with the boy, and then fell silent.

"Pikachu!"

Xiao Zhi shook his head in confusion, but his confusion was quickly replaced by admiration.

"Master is amazing! He even knows about low blood sugar!"

He then quickly followed after them.

The fish Bai Zhou caught was certainly not one he caught casually.

Unlike the small fry who were responsible for surveillance in the square before.

This guy is at least a squad leader, capable of driving a Pokémon into a berserk state; he must have a lot of information.

Upon arriving near the Pokémon Center, Shirazuki turned and walked into a quiet alley, casually tossing the person to the ground.

The light on the side seat was momentarily blurred.

A small, azure body slowly materialized, and an adorable Ditto jumped down from her head.

She waved her hand triumphantly.

"OK! If I don't dig up every last bit of information about him within a day, I'm not capable!"

Bai Zhou didn't linger; after handing the person over, he left the alley.

Xiao Zhi hurriedly caught up and looked at him with some confusion.

"Huh? Master? Aren't we going to the Pokémon Center?"

Before Bai Zhou could reply.

A commotion suddenly broke out at the Pokémon Center next door!

A figure rushed out of the side door!

It's a Growlithe with slightly messy fur but extremely sharp and fierce eyes!

With a bottle of high-grade healing medicine firmly held in its mouth, it nimbly dodged and weaved through the encirclement of several shop assistants who had chased after it!

Bai Zhou noticed a gruesome, unhealed wound on its left hind leg, and with each step it took, a new bloody claw mark appeared on the ground.

"etc!"

Ash instinctively shouted, "You're injured! You can't run like that!"

The Growlithe abruptly stopped, turned around, and let out a threatening growl.

But there was no wildness in its eyes, only—anxiety.

It cautiously took a step back, the medicine in its mouth still in place, its tail taut, staring intently at the two humans.

Then, he turned and ran.
