Chapter 269 I'm sticking with you!
Why did that tornado escape?!
Seeing the storm it had summoned gradually subside, Dark Heart sank to the bottom. He clutched the greyish-purple cloud he had just used to summon the tornado, muttering maniacally, "Come! Descend! Isn't this our promise? You..."

boom!
Just then, Commander Slash swiftly stepped forward, his blade flashing, and with a single elbow strike, knocked the incessantly muttering darkness unconscious. Then, with another swift movement, he raised his arm again, and with another thud, the darkness companion who was preparing to flee also fell into a deep, infant-like sleep.
With the person who was originally blasted against the wall by the ground-crawling wings, this "dark trio" has now been completely captured.
The air finally quieted down.
"call....
'
Xiao Lan breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the chaotic scene in the fighting subway car—the ceiling and the ground above it had been completely ripped off by the storm, and the iron walls inside were also pitted and uneven because of their battle.
Many people were also found unconscious at the scene, along with Pokémon—the Dark Trio, Agile Bug and Bisharp, the shattered Cursed Doll skin doll, and... the Haxorus that had been knocked unconscious by Arcanine during the original battle.
"I'm sorry I couldn't help," Bei Shang said apologetically as he stepped forward and adjusted his hat brim.
After all, the pace of the battle just now was too fast. Even the evolution of the Koma Blade Soldier was completed in three or four breaths. He really didn't find an opportunity to help. Forcing help would only make things worse, which was definitely not the choice for him as someone who was "fighting the leader".
The same goes for Arcanine. Its size is too large and its attack methods are too fast, which is not conducive to fighting in this small space. So after it knocked out Haxorus, it guarded the passageway inside the carriage. This is also one of the reasons why the dark creature could not escape, except for being terrified by the "Black Gaze" of the Piketo soldier.
"Regarding the situation here, the Metro will contact the Alliance to handle the aftermath."
"Thank you again for your help."
After speaking, Kita looked at the unconscious Dark Trio on the ground and asked doubtfully, "According to what you just said, these attackers are... Team Plasma? And their purpose in attacking..."
Zhibei Shang looked at Bictini, who was hiding on Zeshu's shoulder.
Bictigini met his gaze and nervously gripped Ze Shu's arm.
"Nee, nemi!"
"Hmm...yes. The target of these three guys lying in ambush here is it." Ze Shu ruffled Victini's head and explained simply, "And my challenge to this battle subway happened to be because I tracked them down here."
"I see..." Bei Shang nodded knowingly, without saying anything more.
But Bictini suddenly stared wide-eyed at Ze Shu.
"Nomimi?!"
Since Ze Shu came here after tracking down the traces of these bad guys, and their target was it, doesn't that mean Ze Shu came to protect it from the beginning?!
So that's why they were so lenient with the troublemaker by making the request that it "stay within one meter and not leave"?
Bictini sniffed inexplicably.
Ze Shu smiled and said, "Your understanding is correct."
He took out several blueprints and said to Bictini, whose V-shaped ears were trembling with emotion, "If you were caught by these people, you see, this might be your fate."
The drawings contained the Akroma experimental manuscripts he found in the ruins of his dream, including Genesect carrying a giant cannon and whose entire body was replaced with steel, as well as various common Pokémon modification ideas.
For example, the evil scientist from the Plasma Team might replace your ears with steel ones, the kind that melt every time he uses V-Blast; or your little wings on your butt might be transformed into super-sized ones by the evil scientist, so that when you fly, you'll fly upside down with your head hitting the ground.
"N-N-Mi?!"
Bictini's eyes widened.
No way!
Just thinking about the assumptions that Ze Shu casually mentioned gave it a feeling that there was no hope for life anymore!
"So you need to be careful in the future, and don't get caught by these bad guys."
Ze Shu rubbed Bictini's forehead.
But for some reason, the Victini suddenly grabbed its arm tightly.
"There's no danger anymore, why are you...?"
'
"Nee, nemi!"
"Well, boss! I'm sticking with you!"
A telepathic shout belonging to Victini entered Zeki's mind.
Ze Shu: "??"
Meeting his questioning gaze, Victini suddenly stuck out her tongue somewhat embarrassedly: "Nami..."
'
Actually, it's not just these three bad guys; there are other bad guys chasing me too! Someone said I'm a particularly rare Pokémon and wants to take me to an island called "Free Garden Island," where I'll be fed and cared for in a room called "Collection Room"...
But after two days in that collection room, I found it incredibly boring! There was no sense of victory at all! So I escaped, and that's why the guy who tricked me brought a huge horde of people who were chasing me, just like those three bad guys!
I had such a hard time escaping! I finally made it to this subway station where they can't find me...
But now I've been disturbed again!
Victini glared angrily at the Dark Iron Triangle lying unconscious on the ground.
Ze Shu: "So now that you have nowhere else to go, you're trying to cling to me?"
Upon hearing this, Victini nodded repeatedly with its eyes shining, its ears twitching as it looked expectantly at Ze Shu.
"Mimi! Mimi!"
Is it okay? Is it okay?
Victini sensed a strong scent of "victory" in Zeju—after all, this was the trainer it had secretly infused with victory energy to defeat its opponents, yet it still couldn't be defeated!
Trainers with a "victory" scent are Victini's favorite Niffler trainers.
Ze Shu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Whatever."
Victini: "0(≧▽≦)〇Nami!"
Great!
Then it took the initiative to "pay its respects," flapping its little wings and arriving in front of Dream. The V-shaped ears on its forehead twitched habitually, just as it was about to say something.
But before it could speak, Dream suddenly patted it on the shoulder.
The kitten's face showed a "gratified" expression.
Since you've acknowledged Ze Shu as your boss, then I'll reluctantly become your boss in Fantasy Westward Journey too! Don't worry, I'll protect you with Fantasy Westward Journey! I'll even let you play along when it comes to stealing offerings!
"Nami...?"
Victini looked completely bewildered.
Hoopa held up the ring high, giggling, "Hehe~ Hoopa's got your back! Hoopa's got your back!"
You mean to use a ring to cover it, right?
Victini blinked, thinking.
"This cursed doll..."
'
After dealing with Victini, Ze Shu came to his own Slashing Commander, its eyes silently fixed on a certain spot—the spot where the Cursed Doll had been torn apart.
There lay a black doll rag torn into pieces, with yellowed old cotton stuck to it, and a black energy emanating from the old cotton.
The Cursed Doll is a "puppet Pokémon," said to be created when an energy called "curse" is channeled into a discarded doll... However, it seems unclear whether its true form is the doll or the energy itself.
"If this continues, this cursed doll will really die."
Ze Shu turned to look at Commander Pi Zhan, who was still staring at the shattered doll: "You want to save it, right?"
He hadn't expected the Commander of the Cleaver to answer, but to his surprise, this time, the Commander of the Cleaver's axe-armored head stiffened for a moment, and then nodded.
Ze Shu's gaze also froze for a moment, then he chuckled softly, "Okay."
Then, he squatted down and, together with the approaching Blue, collected the fragments of the cursed doll. A trace of black curse energy still lingered in the air. Ze Shu also had Gengar knead them into his palm as if they were clay balls, and carefully stored them.
"Perhaps if we sew them all up, there's a chance... to save them."
"Leave it to me..." Xiao Lan pursed her lips, stuffing all the cursed doll fragments into her bag. "Ze Shu can't sew. You had to ask me to mend your old Eevee doll!"
Ze Shu: "That's just because my hands were shaking from overly strenuous training..."
It's not that he can't sew, it's just that Xiao Lan's hands are more skillful.
At this moment, in a secluded room in Raven City.
In the dim light.
"N. Our King. This city is at a critical juncture for the survival of Team Plasma." Quixote showed no joy at seeing his adopted son again; instead, he frowned deeply and sighed, "Do you know the situation now?"
"Because of the League's misunderstanding of Team Plasma, they actually labeled us, who love Pokémon so much, as an evil organization, and even issued a notice to send us all to prison."
"
"This is simply...."
'
Quixote let out another long sigh, staring into the darkness of a corner of the room, his short cane resting listlessly in his hand—
It tapped the ground with its senses.
"How can the ideals imprinted in Team Plasma's blood be extinguished?" He suddenly raised his voice, turning to look directly at N. "We are destined to liberate Pokémon! Since the League, due to misunderstanding, has used wanted posters as chains to bind us, then we will shatter those chains with our ideals, and use the power of our ideals to create a new world for Pokémon!"
"N, you think so too, right?"
Facing Quixote's direct gaze.
N lowered his gaze, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Yes, my ideal has never changed."
Hearing this answer, Quixote smiled with satisfaction, took out a smooth, black stone from his pocket, and said, "N, I have never doubted your unwavering commitment to your ideals, and that is why I recommend you as king."
"
"The Plasma Team is in crisis... and that's exactly what we need from you to dedicate your ideals."
He handed the stone to N, saying, "This is the Dark Stone. Resonate with it, become the hero of your ideals—transform your unwavering ideals into the power that allows Team Plasma to break free from its shackles!"
"6
'
N accepted the Dark Stone without a word.
Quixote didn't pay attention; he was engrossed in thinking about how to break the deadlock.
"Ze Shu, Ze Shu, let me tell you! Just now, a muscular guy covered in green was riding on a cloud, and whoosh, he flew right past our spaceship!" On the spaceship's deck, Higana exclaimed in amazement, "I've never seen anyone walk on clouds before!"
"And judging from that person's expression, I can assure you: he was scared away!"
"You know what? Its strong body was trembling! I wonder what terrifying thing it saw."
Just as Ze Shu had thrown the tightly bound Dark Trio into the spaceship's prison, he walked onto the deck, listening to Xi Jiana's excited words, and casually remarked, "Hmm, maybe they'll be scared away when they see me?"
Higanbana: "You?"
She stared intently at Ze Shu, and said seriously, "I think you'd be perfect as a comedian, Ze Shu! You can actually say such hilarious things with such a straight face!"
Ze Shu asked doubtfully, "Is it funny?"
Higanbana nodded: "It's hilarious!"
Ze Shu questioned, "Then why aren't you smiling?"
Hijana burst into laughter: "Hahahaha~"
Ze Shu: "————"
He was speechless.
Beside them, Xiao Lan and Huai De stared at Xi Jiana, who was grinning foolishly, as if she were an idiot.
Whisper said quietly, "Miss Higana's slight display of genuine emotion is something many comedians strive for their entire lives!"
Xiao Lan paused slightly as she sewed the gray cloth doll in her hand, and smiled helplessly.
About half an hour later.
A cursed doll with noticeable stitches reappeared in Xiao Lan's hands.
"It's mended... but..."
Little Blue looked hesitantly at the doll in her hands. Perhaps because the scraps of fabric were scattered too haphazardly, some pieces hadn't been collected, resulting in this mended, cursed doll...
One arm is longer than the other; one foot is bent and the other is sprained.
Even the eyes are uneven (o-0)
Higana, who had gathered around, couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Pfft, hahaha!"
Ze Shu frowned slightly: "This cursed doll... seems..."
'
After it was mended, Gengar infused the doll with the cursed energy it had collected.
The cursed doll's consciousness has indeed been restored.
But the red light in its uneven eyes flashed, and it tried to turn its body, but before it could fall over because one foot was bent and the other was twisted, it fell backward on its own.
"Wow, wow wow--"
It made a stiff, incomprehensible sound.
In this situation, it can only be said that the stitches are healed, but the treatment is definitely not complete.
Commander Pi Zhan gazed at this direction from afar, seemingly worried.
"Perhaps we need to find some trainers who are proficient in Ghost-types to learn more," Xiao Lan said, frowning as well.
After all, apart from Ze Shu having a book on Kikuko Tenno's experience, the fourth person on the spaceship had no in-depth understanding of the ghost attribute.
"Perhaps we could ask Kikuko-sensei..."
Ze Shu shook his head: "No, I won't ask Kikuko-sensei."
Higana, wanting to join in the fun, asked, "Then who should we ask?"
"Ask the other Ghost Elite Four member; perhaps she knows more about Pokémon like Cursed Doll." Ze Shu looked up at the sky and happened to meet the gaze of the lurking blue-green dragon shadow. He then smiled and said, "And coincidentally, we also need to go to her area. After all, it seems Team Plasma is about to go to their wits' end."
Higana was completely bewildered.
But then Ze Shu pulled Hu Pa, who was fast asleep on the table, up: "Stop talking, it's time to get to work."
"Get ready, get ready, let's teleport to Hoenn."
