Chapter 118 Naz: A Cool Breeze Through the Chest!
Looking at the trembling, hesitant frog.
Ze Shu kept smiling:
"Why haven't you taken any action yet?"
"Didn't you say, 'We are the key to turning you back into a prince'? And that we would definitely meet? Now that we've found a way to turn you back into a prince, why are you still hesitating?"
The wicked frog trembled and said, "I... I think I'm fine staying in this form..."
Ze Shu shook his head and uttered words that sent chills down the spines of the unruly frog: "I didn't give you a choice."
"The dignified 'Sleeping Beauty' is waiting for your kiss, and you're acting all wronged?"
After saying that, he grabbed the naughty frog and threw it directly at the gauze-curtained bed in the center of the room!
With a "poof".
It seems like a wonderful coincidence.
As the wicked frog tumbled violently through the air and finally crashed onto the bed, its panicked mouth landed squarely on the wide-open mouth of the Fake King. Their lips touched, and finally, the Frog Prince and the "Sleeping Beauty" kissed.
The air seemed to be filled with a pink atmosphere.
Fog Time:
The light of evolution spread from the bad frog.
But what happens next?
Slaking rolled over and turned over, his heavy body pressing the Delinquent Frog, which was radiating the light of evolution, onto the other side of the bed, and in doing so, he suppressed the Delinquent Frog's light of evolution back.
Its burly hand, full of "love," rubbed against the naughty frog.
His face lit up, as if he was happy to have gained a new bed partner.
"Help...help...save the frog's life!"
"Whoosh...whoosh!"
But Ze Shu ignored the "Frog Prince's" pleas for help.
As soon as they kissed, the bed made a loud "bang," and the wall behind the bed where the King of Leave was sleeping suddenly cracked open, revealing a golden light.
After the golden light dissipated, a staircase leading upwards suddenly appeared.
Ze Shu was taken aback: "Is it not over yet?"
Xiao Lan blinked and said, "This might not be the top of the tower, so does that mean—this Sleeping Beauty who asked for leave is just a smokescreen?"
The real Sleeping Beauty is someone else!
When Xiao Lan voiced this guess, she was startled and had an inexplicable sense of foreboding.
"No way..."
"I knew it." Ze Shu glanced at the bed. "The Frog Prince is real, but this 'Sleeping Beauty' is definitely fake. Slaking is just really sleeping; it doesn't have the so-called Sleeping Beauty's curse, yet it can sleep for so long!"
"No matter what, we'll find out once we go up there."
He shook his head.
Although it doesn't feel like a long time, in this "fairy tale," the days and months have indeed changed quite a bit.
I need to end this nightmare as soon as possible.
Slowly walk up the stairs to the next floor.
There seem to be an unusually large number of steps.
Ze Shu felt that he had walked for quite some time. The further he walked, the more vines and quinoa began to sprout, gradually winding around various parts of the tower, making the interior resemble a primeval forest.
I don't know how long we walked.
Before Zeki appeared a room exactly like the one where the King of Leave had been.
The only difference is that there's a bit more greenery in the room.
On the bed in the center of the room lay a slender figure with black hair.
Her complexion was rosy, her fine hair spread across the bed, her eyes were gently closed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her lips were slightly parted, and she was breathing with the rise and fall of her body.
Xiao Lan covered her mouth: "Is this... Master Sabrina?"
Ze Shu smirked: "It really is her."
Xiao Lan tensed up. After hesitating for a moment, she suggested, "Ze Shu, are you really going to kiss him? Is it too late to catch the Frog Prince now?"
"No need." Ze Shu smiled and shook his head, raising his ancestral sword. "I have a more convenient and faster way."
Xiao Lan exclaimed, "Could it be...?"
Ze Shu chuckled: "Just what you think."
Naz didn't know how long she had been lying there.
I felt my body going numb, my calves cramping, and even my abdomen twitching from time to time.
This "vegetative state" lifestyle was driving her almost insane!
But she was fully conscious the entire time!
Even a real dream can't be achieved!
"What kind of 'Sleeping Beauty' is this?!"
Does she really have to be kissed by that so-called "prince" before she'll be satisfied?
If this is the only option, Naz is absolutely unwilling!
Even though she knew she was asleep, she didn't want to!
A difficult choice between two sides.
Fortunately, Naza doesn't have to make a decision—she can't do anything but wait for "the judgment of fate," for the arrival of the so-called prince, or for the awakening of "the dream."
Finally, I don't know how long I lay there.
Since she lay there, the room, which had never been silent, finally began to echo with the sound of footsteps.
Then she heard the words "Master Naz" and "It really is her," which confused her for a moment. However, the male voice that followed made her realize something instantly—Ze Shu!
The man who plunged him into such a torturous dream!
"Is he the prince who awakened Sleeping Beauty?"
"He's going to kiss me?"
Naz was greatly shocked.
But for some reason, there was a faint sense of relief that "the torment is finally over."
It felt like I'd finally been able to release the urge to urinate all day!
Naz was incredibly conflicted.
She neither wanted Ze Shu to kiss her so easily, nor did she want to continue suffering the painful life of a "vegetative state patient".
Suddenly, she felt Ze Shu press his hand on her soft shoulder. With her superhuman senses, she could even feel his slight breathing; he was already very close.
Could it be...?
Due to nervousness, Sabrina's rare superpowers became somewhat disordered, and her mind went blank.
She suddenly felt that if Ze Shu kissed her like that, it wouldn't be so bad...
If he's willing to take responsibility.
Even if they're unwilling to take responsibility, you can use superpowers to force them to do so!
Naz was thinking this.
Suddenly, she felt a chill in the center of her chest.
Then, an overwhelming pain surged through her, and the fog left her head blank with pain.
It was like a sword, straight and powerful, piercing her heart!
On the bed, her body was tattered and rusted, as if a tetanus sword, easily broken, was deeply embedded in Naz's chest, like the sword in the stone that King Arthur stuck in the rock.
Ze Shu sighed, "When the story of Sleeping Beauty ends, this dream will end. And if Sleeping Beauty dies, won't the story end too? Doing it this way is absolutely fine!"
"Yes, that's the purpose of the sword I was given at the start!"
Xiao Lan smiled excitedly from the side: "It's a pity I didn't bring a whetstone, otherwise I could have helped Ze Shu sharpen your sword!"
2
Ze Shu shook his head: "I'm afraid this sword won't withstand much sharpening."
He was speaking.
Suddenly, I felt the surrounding environment distort and blur, as if everything around me was becoming indistinct.
"That's it, this 'nightmare' is over."
"I hope that Ms. Nazi won't be left with psychological trauma."
However, Zeki will not show mercy to his "enemies".
Since Sabrina refused to act as an inside agent, she was naturally still a Team Rocket officer and therefore an enemy.
Do you still want him to kiss you?
This female executive from the Rockets wants to taint his innocent first kiss?
impossible!
In a daze.
A muffled groan of extreme pain reached his ears. Ze Shu opened his eyes and found himself still inside the Golden Dojo.
In the arena where Sabrina engages in a gym battle.
I glanced down at the time.
Only a dozen minutes had passed.
But he seemed to be in that "fairy tale" for many days and nights.
"Um"
"It was alright, at least I experienced a fairy tale, which was quite interesting. Although it's Darkrai's nightmare, and the main characters aren't very friendly."
Zeshu sighed and then turned his gaze to Naz, who was groaning in pain beside him.
She was covered in cold sweat, slumped on the ground like a duck, clutching her chest. Her delicate face was pale and flushed with an unnatural red, and her lips were still panting heavily.
Large beads of sweat slid down her delicate jawline, some splashing lightly onto the ground, others wetting her tight-fitting clothes.
It's clear she's in real pain!
Naz was enduring it.
Enduring the pain, suppressing the confusion and shock in my heart.
She never imagined that this investigator would plunge a sword straight into her chest!
Sabrina's family rules are extremely strict. Ever since her grandfather, the president of the Superpower Association, discovered her amazing superpower talent, he began to discipline and train her very strictly. He was so strict that she could only drink water very rarely, in order to stimulate her superpower by making her body depleted and thirsty.
This also led to her perfectly realizing her superpower talent.
Then he began to "rebel".
He rebelled against his parents, turning them into dolls; he rebelled against his identity as a gym leader, turning defeated challengers into dolls; he rebelled against the League, accepting Giovanni's invitation to join Team Rocket.
But at this moment, no one had ever been able to stab her in the chest like that, causing her excruciating pain.
Is this also a form of rebellion?
Rebellion against her rebellious behavior?
Nazi's face turned red from the pain, but for some reason, a strange feeling arose in her heart, making her heart pound.
He could only force himself to stare at Ze Shu with a stubborn gaze.
Ze Shu tilted his head, looking puzzled, and said, "What are you staring at? I didn't actually stab you, I just stabbed you in my dream."
It's like they're really empathizing with me.
Hearing this dismissive mockery, Natsumi's blood boiled, and she retorted sarcastically:
"So, are you planning to hand me over to the Alliance to claim credit? Is this all the investigators are capable of?"
Ze Shu laughed and said, "Yes. You'll go to the Alliance Prison, just like Lt. Surge, trapped there without freedom. It might feel a bit like you becoming 'Sleeping Beauty,' but I suppose you've already experienced it, so it won't be that painful."
"Perhaps you can escape using your superpowers. In that case, Miss Sabrina, you'll become a wanted criminal, and your family will be disgraced. But, rebellious Sabrina, you probably wouldn't care about any of that, would you?"
To be honest, Zeki wasn't sure if he could actually convict Natsumi.
After all, he didn't have much evidence that Nancy was part of the Rockets.
With such meager evidence, perhaps her grandfather, the president of the Superpowers Association, could "manipulate" Nazja's existence.
But listening to what Zeshu said...
Sabrina gritted her teeth and asked, almost as if possessed, "I...you want me to be a spy for Team Rocket? I...I don't want to get caught."
She wanted revenge!
At least stab them hard back!
Ze Shu maintained his smile: "Trying to go undercover? But I don't trust you right now."
Naza gritted her teeth: "Then how can I make you believe me?"
Ze Shu: "I can't believe you're so furious right now."
Naz: "...—"
She tried hard to suppress her anger and forced a smile: "How about this?"
Ze Shu said mercilessly, "What an ugly smile."
Naza laughed in exasperation: "Then what do you want me to do?!"
Ze Shu laughed, "Of course, we'll send you to the Alliance Prison..."
Then, as Natsume grew increasingly frantic and aggrieved, he suddenly said:
"However, I can give you a chance. If you perform well."
Without hesitation, Naz asked, "What opportunity!"
Golden Dojo.
A secluded room, perfect for doing secret things.
"And with Team Rocket's recent actions, Giovanni seems to be planning to target the legendary Pokémon of the Orange Islands, the Three Legendary Birds."
"Investigator Zeki, this concludes the intelligence I've gathered over the years while infiltrating Team Rocket... Report complete!"
pat!
The table shook, the sound of Naz collapsing onto it after the recording ended.
Xiao Lan blushed, stopped filming, and said timidly, "I think it's so cruel..."
Ze Shu stood to the side, arms crossed, and said righteously:
"This is a necessary measure to protect Ms. Sabrina's innocence as an undercover agent within Team Rocket. We're doing this for Sabrina's own good!"
And they were facing each other across the table.
Wearing a Rockets uniform, Sabrina's face turned bright red, as if it could bleed, after the filming ended, seemingly humiliated or provoked.
They were actually forced to do something like this...
They were forced to record various "slave manifestos," declarations of "selling Team Rocket for personal gain," and various "undercover intelligence."
A declaration, and even...
She said hoarsely and wearily, "Now...can you trust me?"
She doesn't know what kind of willpower compelled her to record these things.
He just wanted to personally stab this investigator in the back!
Now, this is all that Naz is obsessed with.
Ze Shu said with a smile, "Of course. With Sabrina's acting skills and her beautiful face, if you could become an actress in Pokémon Hollywood in the future, I have no doubt that you would make a name for yourself."
"But now..."
"We had a pleasant working relationship?"
Naza gritted her teeth and said, "It's...pleasant to cooperate!"
Ze Shu stood up, as if remembering something, and mentioned, "Oh, right, Miss Naz."
"You betray the Rockets; or the Rockets betray you along with the league. Choosing between these two options shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Naza gritted her teeth: "Of course..."
She didn't care about the Rockets or the Rockets team, and she never thought she should dedicate her life to the Rockets. She wasn't that loyal to the Rockets.
She approves of this choice.
She was outmaneuvered in this situation.
Rather, it would be beneficial for her to become a "Rockets mole".
Moreover, based on the video footage that Ze Shu currently possesses.
Indeed... if exposed, she will have no chance of recovery.
But all she wanted now was to stab this investigator in the back.
Not the kind of betrayal, but a physical, painful cut!
Let this investigator experience the pain of being stabbed in her sleep!
Before this, she was willing to "compromise" and provide genuine information, cooperating with the investigators.
Ze Shu laughed and extended his hand to Sabrina: "Then I wish us a truly pleasant collaboration. I also look forward to seeing what Sabrina's 'rebellion' against Team Rocket will look like."
"As for the Rockets' plans for the 'Three Legendary Birds' and the Mewtwo plan, I look forward to your reminders then."
Naza shook hands with him: "Heh..."
She couldn't wait for the Rockets' plans to unfold.
That way, I'll have a chance to stab him!
Hmph, if only there weren't any knives around...!
The "battle" between Zeki, a trainer with zero badges in the Kanto League, and the Goldenrod Gym has ended.
And they successfully obtained the Golden Badge.
Incidentally, it also freed a group of Pokémon from the Goldenrod Gym.
Almost all of them were Ze Shu's "old acquaintances"—all "protagonists" in this nightmare fairy tale.
"Hehehe..."
"Hmph, hum!"
Gengar, Ludicolo, and Mamoswine huddled together, whimpering.
As "three little pigs who were about to be eaten by wolves but successfully fought back," they developed a lot of friendship in the fairy tale. Of course, they were also incredibly grateful to Ze Shu, practically licking his feet.
At least that Gengar actually did it!
Then Ze Shu kicked it away out of disgust.
It's not that I dislike the purple chubby guy; after all, he's quite cute.
The key thing is that its tongue licking really causes numbness!
Ze Shu: "So... do you three little pig brothers have anywhere to go next?"
Gengar nodded with absolute confidence: "Gengar!"
They're going to build houses!
Go find a place without strong winds, settle down and live a peaceful life, and then build a house!
Zeshu: "—
Has the Three Little Pigs really gotten into my head?
Ze Shu could only offer his blessings.
He was told by the three little pigs that they invited him to visit their house sometime.
He smiled and agreed.
Then, on the other side.
"Help! Help! I'm going to be crushed to death!"
In the main hall of the Goldenrod Gym, Slaking was holding a thin man, pressing his entire body weight down on him as if to caress him, causing the man great discomfort.
This man is the wicked frog from the nightmare, also known as the Frog Prince.
Ze Shu really didn't expect that he was actually human.
He is the challenger who failed to challenge the Goldenrod Gym and was turned into a doll.
But now, by a stroke of good fortune, he has successfully subdued an incredibly powerful Slaking.
congratulations.
However, this "Leave King" seems to have a rather...incredibly fondness for him.
I want to hug you while you sleep, and then... "—
Wait, isn't Slave King from the Doll Group?
"Oh? You really want to come with me?"
Looking at the giant green onion duck running behind him, holding a large green onion root, Ze Shu asked.
Farfetch'd looked serious, holding up a green onion like a brave warrior wielding an iron rod, yearning to become stronger: "Quack!"
Perhaps in Darkrai's "nightmare," its unconventional evolved form—Sirfetch'd—was gone. But it also gained the will to become stronger, and the sirfetch'd method of arduous training gained from the cycle of the sun and moon in its dream!
This is no ordinary green onion duck!
It's a meritorious Farfetch'd, a Farfetch'd that evolved into a Farfetch'd Soldier!
The green onion duck's eyes were determined: "Quack!"
Zeqi: "Of course I welcome her."
Golden City, Melaleuca Restaurant.
This is a restaurant that Zeshu specifically asked Nazi about, and that's how he found out it serves lotus seed dishes.
Under the table.
Farfetch'd and Psyduck stare at each other.
Psyduck tilted its head and pointed at the green onion in Farfetch'd's hand: "Quack?"
The giant green onion duck, its eyes resolute, shook its head and brandished the green onion with a flourish: "Quack!"
Psyduck covered its head in confusion: "Quack?"
The green onion duck nodded earnestly: "Quack!"
The two of them kept making "cawing" sounds, and no one understood what they were cawing about.
I don't understand what common ground they found.
On the table.
After emerging from the dream, Liuwei, who had discovered that the lotus seeds she had painstakingly collected were gone, was no longer upset. Her mouth never left the lotus seed bag in front of her, and she ate with relish, her fluffy tail swishing back and forth.
Little Blue propped her cheek up with one hand: "Hmph, Little Sixtail still loves to eat so much."
Zeshu sighed, "I originally wanted to limit the amount of food the Six-Tails eats, but I found that it gets fat even if it doesn't eat. I guess I'm too soft-hearted, so I've relaxed its daily restrictions."
Hearing Zeki's words, Six-Tails wagged its tail triumphantly: "Omina, Omina!"
But Ze Shu then said, "So I turned this restriction into a 'punishment measure'."
"For example: look at how smug Liuwei looks. After finishing this lotus seed feast, its snacks for the next three days...:"
That's all!
The six-tailed creature buried in the bowl trembled.
It stopped eating, its mouth still damp with porridge, and turned its head to look at its trainer in disbelief:
"O...Ouming?"
Ze Shu smiled: "It's true!"
Upon hearing these definitive words, Liuwei felt as if she had suffered the greatest blow of Baosheng's attack, and her entire fox spirit collapsed.
"Ou Ming..."
The trainer is bullying the little fox again...
As if speaking to Xiao Lan, Ze Shu said softly, "So, to avoid having your snacks taken away, Vulpix can 'serve' the trainer, for example: give them a back pat, squeeze their paws, or let them touch you."
"Perhaps this way we can avoid 'punishment'?"
The six-tailed creature stopped barking and looked up, asking, "Ou Ming?!"
It didn't even eat the lotus seed soup anymore—because it had already finished eating.
Nang Shi showed her soft, bloated belly to Ze Shu, her eyes sparkling, and made a cute face as if begging Ze Shu to pat her.
Seeing that Ze Shu's hand didn't move, it immediately got up, took Ze Shu's hand and pressed it into its pink belly, and twisted around, making a comfortable "woof woof" sound.
Instantly, it transformed into a fox that could be petted automatically.
Little Blue on the other side was amused: "Hehehe..."
But it was at this moment that...
A wisp of green light flashed in the air, and a crumpled green letter, as if it had wings, fluttered down onto the table in front of Ze Shu.
Xiao Lan was stunned for a moment: "This is..."
Ze Shu was also taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is...: 'Pen pal'."
He recalled the letter he had written earlier, in which he asked the other party to specify their location or describe a landmark, but he hadn't received a reply for a long time. Ze Shu thought the other party didn't want to reveal their address.
"Open it and take a look..."
Zeshu opened the crumpled letter.
The numerous illegible scribbles and revisions on the letter are enough to show the panic and...helplessness the sender felt when writing it?
Sure enough, the "landmark building" drawn on it was a mountain, a mountain with no distinguishing features.
There are also a few Japanese shrine-themed items, but ultimately the drawing skills are insufficient, and they still lack distinctiveness.
Ze Shu: "...—"
He suddenly patted his head.
"I deserve to die."
"Aren't you making things difficult for them by asking them to draw some kind of landmark building on the other side?"
Ze Shu could already imagine that because of his "request," the other party would squat on the ground with a charcoal stone, looking helpless and pitiful, and after a long time, he still couldn't draw or imagine what the landmark building looked like.
That must have been really difficult for them...
"I'll go get a tracking device and send this grass letter over, then I'll know where the recipient is in Padiya, right?"
Ze Shu patted his head, somewhat speechless at himself.
At that moment, Xiao Lan blinked and asked Ze Shu, "Padia? Is Ze Shu going to Padia?"
Ze Shu snapped out of his reverie, thought for a moment, and chuckled, "A place with fragments of Taijing is most likely Padia, right? What, Little Blue, don't you want to go on a trip?"
Xiao Lan beamed and said, "Of course I want to!"
Ze Shu smiled and said, "Hmph, but we need to get a tracking device first. We need to see the exact location."
It may not necessarily be Padiya.
Could it be Beishang Township?
That's fine too. If you want to go for a few days of tourism, Beishang Township is a town that's developing its tourism industry.
After all, this "Operation Silph" has dealt a heavy blow to the Rockets, enough to keep them on hold for a while. And if they come up with any more plans, Sabrina, the undercover agent, will inform them in time.
