Chapter 294 Azure: Stop! Ah~Bai~
Chapter 294 Azure: Stop! Ah~Bai~
A robust and composed figure in deep blue broke through the waves, standing tall and proud!
The sunlight reflected off the battle-hardened armor, casting a steady luster.
Blastoise!
And on its broad, giant shell, a quirky and clever girl sat sideways.
She casually rested one hand on her knee, and with the other hand she brushed her hair, which was being blown by the sea breeze. Her fair and slender legs dazzled in the sunlight.
It was the long-dormant azure!
She had been hiding in the shadows for so long, observing for so long, just waiting for Bai Zhou to reveal a weakness!
Bai Zhou is chasing Xiao Yin alone, and now he has neither the elusive Gengar nor the powerful Gardevoir by his side!
They were truly isolated and helpless!
"Stop! Ah~Bai~"
Azure looked down at White Boat, a captivating smile of unwavering confidence playing on her lips.
She even casually tossed her long hair that hung down to her chest, her posture calm and elegant, as if the outcome was already decided.
"You have nowhere to run! Surrender obediently!"
As she spoke, her gaze swept over Ah Jin and Xiao Yin, who were being "held hostage" by Bai Zhou, and her tone carried a hint of queenly dominance.
"I advise you to release Little Silver and Ah Jin immediately and surrender obediently, otherwise wait a minute—"
"Don't blame me for not showing any mercy from the past~"
Bai Zhou looked at Bi Lan, whose chin was almost tilted to the sky, and couldn't suppress the smile on his lips; his eyes were full of joy.
Azure thought of herself as a patient hunter who had seized the perfect opportunity when her prey, White Boat, was alone.
Little do people know that the true hunter often appears as the prey.
He deliberately prevented Gardevoir and Gengar from staying close by, and even lingered with Silver for so long —
Isn't all of this just to lure this self-proclaimed clever "big fish" Azure into the trap?
It now appears that the plan was a complete success!
However, Bai Zhou was just about to say something, but hadn't opened his mouth yet.
Little Silver, which was tucked under his arm, suddenly began to struggle violently and shouted at Azure in an extremely urgent tone.
"Sister Xiaolan! Run! Don't come any closer! Brother Baizhou—he might not be human!"
Bai Zhou's face darkened upon hearing this.
What do you mean I'm not human?! Am I even human?!
Ignoring Bai Zhou's dark expression, Xiao Yin continued to unleash her attacks.
"I suspect that Bai Zhou is a legendary Pokémon disguised and infiltrating human society! His strength, speed,..."
And that feeling—
He embellished and recounted his "reasoning"—based on shock and absurd speculation—to Azure in its entirety.
"Think carefully about the past! His ability to predict the future! All those illogical things he did!"
"That's right! I can vouch for it! Brother Bai Zhou is definitely not human!"
On the other side, Akin immediately echoed loudly.
Although he might not entirely believe Xiao Yin's speculation, he was still "stirring things up" and "creating some fun for Brother Bai Zhou."
This kind of thing.
He has always been self-taught and spares no effort in learning.
White Boat Bro? Legendary Pokémon?
Azure brows twitched slightly, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
Although she never doubted Xiao Yin's sincerity, she was more inclined to believe that this was an overreaction by Xiao Yin after being shocked by Bai Zhou's skills.
She had personally witnessed Bai Zhou's "outrageously inhuman" skills!
That was a lesson she learned through countless "tactical provocations" and "strategic retreats"!
Seeing this, Bai Zhou could no longer bear it.
To spread rumors about him to his face, and to make it sound like the truth?
Tolerable or unbearable!
It's time to let these two "menaces" take a break!
He grasped Ah Jin and Xiao Yin's hands and moved.
The movements appeared casual, yet in an instant they unleashed an irresistible force.
In the hazy blue vision, a faint, slowly rotating yin-yang symbol appeared behind the white boat!
Ah Jin and Xiao Yin, who were caught in the center of this "force field", instantly felt their hair stand on end!
A tremendous sense of fear, stemming from their biological instincts, overwhelmed them!
Immediately afterwards, the world spun around!
The two were like yin and yang fish thrown out of a tai chi diagram, following the perfect and smooth arc drawn by Bai Zhou's arm.
The body spun uncontrollably for a full circle, and then—
Whoosh—thump!
It traced two extremely beautiful parabolas, crossed the sea surface by tens of meters, and with a "plop," fell into the seawater, splashing up two small water droplets.
Ah Jin, Xiao Yin!
OUT!
"alright."
Bai Zhou calmly clapped his hands, as if he had just thrown away two bags of trash.
At the same time, a powerful aura, seemingly originating from the suppression of life levels, naturally emanated from him.
The oppressive effect is triggered!
"Now that everyone else has left, it's just the two of us to have a good talk and settle our personal scores."
He looked up at the azure blue of the tortoise shell.
His tone remained gentle, even polite and almost negotiable.
"I can give you a chance. Admit your mistake and apologize right now, and promise not to play this kind of prank again—then I won't spank you in public."
He paused, then gave a smile that could be described as "nuclear-kind".
"How about that? Pretty fair, right?"
"you----"
Bilan subconsciously swallowed, not because of the threat of being "spanked in public," but because she felt an immense pressure coming at her!
Every cell in her body was screaming warnings, demanding that she flee immediately, without looking back!
This feeling —
It's very similar to the absolute pressure on a life level that she felt when she first faced Mewtwo!
And this is something that a "human" should not be able to exude!
Could it be that Xiao Yin's outrageous guess was actually true?!
Brother Bai Zhou is really—
Azure felt the suffocating pressure firsthand; her heart pounded wildly in her chest, almost shattering her ribs.
However, this is quite different from fear.
An even more intense excitement erupted from the depths of her heart!
Shiraishu-san — if he really is the legendary Komugi —
Doesn't that mean I can capture it with a Poké Ball and make it my own Pokémon?!
Bilan became more and more excited as she thought about it, and two strange flushes appeared on her cheeks uncontrollably, her eyes shining frighteningly.
As for whether they will be counter-attacked—
Just kidding! Bai Zhou is completely isolated and helpless right now!
Even if he really is a legendary Pokémon, he doesn't have any other Pokémon partners by his side.
Can it really defeat my Blastoise, Ditto, Jigglypuff, and all my Pokémon partners in one go?
The advantage lies with me!
Thinking of this, Bilan forcibly suppressed the pounding in her heart and tried her best to put on a fierce look, just like a tyrannical young master in a story who forcibly abducts a girl.
"Don't try to scare me! You're the one who should surrender!"
She tried to make her voice sound powerful.
"You better recognize the situation! Become my Pokémon obediently—no, I mean, obediently admit defeat!"
To increase her persuasiveness, she proudly raised her finger and pointed to the distance behind Bai Zhou, displaying an air of absolute confidence.
Why do you think I've only just shown up?
"Your Gengar and Gardevoir have already been subdued by my ambush forces!"
"Even if you're incredibly skilled, do you really think you can take on me and my Blastoise with your bare hands?!"
Bai Zhou turned his head to look in the direction she pointed.
Two more small boats had quietly moved closer to his boat at some point.
Yellow and Crystal stood on their respective boats, orderly directing their Pokémon partners.
They "surrounded" Gengar and Gardevoir, forming a seemingly tight encirclement.
Noticing Bai Zhou's gaze, Xiao Huang's face turned bright red in an instant, like a child caught doing something wrong by their parents.
Helpless, she darted behind the broad back of the Gengar that she had surrounded, only peeking out half of her head before quickly retreating back inside.
He didn't dare to look Bai Zhou in the eye.
Gengar also "cooperated" by shifting its floating, chubby body to try and cover up Little Yellow even more thoroughly.
He even blinked his big eyes at Bai Zhou, revealing a helpless expression that said, "Father, I was forced into this."
"Brother Bai Zhou! I'm so sorry!"
Chris, too, felt restless and her cheeks were burning.
But she suppressed her emotions and called out in the direction of the white boat, her voice fading in the sea breeze.
"Let's just consider this a little act of whim on our part this time."
Well, he's quite well-prepared; he even covered his "escape route."
Bai Zhou silently withdrew his gaze and looked back at Bi Lan, who had a "perfect plan" expression on her face.
"Hmph! Now you know fear, huh?"
Azure seemed to have grown bolder, and the slight fear she had felt earlier was largely washed away by the overwhelming excitement.
"Unfortunately—it's too late!"
She even pointed triumphantly to the sky.
"See those dragons circling overhead? The photographers up there will capture everything that's about to happen!"
"The story of Little Blue Hero's clever capture of the White Boat Demon King will surely be sung by the world!"
She paused for a moment, as if she had finally grasped some fatal weakness, and said in a strange tone that was a mixture of threat and coaxing, in a low voice, "Brother Bai Zhou~"
"You wouldn't want the whole world to know you're a legendary Pokémon, would you?"
"Being a good boy/girl is good for everyone!"
Bai Zhou remained silent, simply standing there quietly.
With that ambiguous smile on his face, his deep eyes gazed at the azure sky, exuding immense pressure!
An eerie silence fell over the room.
Damn it! Why aren't you scared?! Why are you so calm?!
The smugness on Bilan's face gradually became unsettling.
Even with Blastoise right beside her, providing a solid tactile sensation, she still didn't feel any sense of security.
The invisible pressure continued to rise, making her back feel slightly cold.
Her tone unconsciously softened as she attempted to "negotiate".
"Ahem—well, well—it's not impossible for me to let you go!"
Her azure eyes flickered.
"If you're willing to be my Pokémon for a year, I'll let you go! How about that? Pretty good deal, right?"
The curve of Bai Zhou's lips seemed to widen by a millimeter, his voice calm and undisturbed.
"three."
"Three or three months? No way! It should be at least six months! A year is already being lenient with you!"
one"
'
"Don't push your luck! If you keep this up, I'll really get Blastoise to attack! It's very powerful!"
'
'
'
The moment the last number was dropped.
Whoosh—
The sea between the white boat and the azure sky suddenly bulged upwards!
A huge column of water shot into the sky without warning, bursting into a white mist that instantly obscured the vision of both sides!
"What?!"
Azure stared wide-eyed in astonishment.
Amidst the billowing mist, a massive yet somewhat "simple-looking" shadow burst forth from the waves!
It was an unusually large ugly fish, its scales shimmering with a pale purple luster in the sunlight!
Its massive tail, proportionate to its size, drew a heavy arc in mid-air.
With overwhelming force, it struck the side of Blastoise's thick shell solidly!
boom!
A dull, loud bang exploded!
Blastoise had no time to react; it only felt an unimaginable force coming from its side.
Its massive body instantly went out of control, transforming into a meteor that flew sideways dozens of meters away before crashing into the distant sea with a deafening roar, creating towering waves!
Azure, sitting sideways on the tortoise shell, remained in place due to inertia.
After a moment of stunned silence, under the honest and considerate influence of gravity, it let out a short cry of surprise and plummeted straight towards the sea!
Just as she was about to make intimate contact with the seawater.
The white boat moved.
He lightly touched the small boat with his foot, and his figure leaped up gracefully, landing on the smooth back of the ugly fish.
At the same time, he stretched out his arms and caught the falling blue in a standard princess carry.
A sea breeze swept by, dispersing some of the mist.
Azure, still shaken, looked up and suddenly met Bai Zhou's black eyes, which were so close to hers and held a mischievous smile.
Thump thump thump thump————
In an instant, a rapid heartbeat sounded.
For some reason, Azure's usually quick-witted mind inexplicably began to sluggish.
Bai Zhou lowered his head and whispered in her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear, his tone full of mockery.
"I'm waiting for Ugly Fish, what are you waiting for?"
"Um----?"
As Bilan felt the warmth on her ear, her brain completely shut down. She didn't hear what Bai Zhou said at all, and she didn't have time to think about what had just happened.
She stared blankly at Bai Zhou's alluring face, her gaze involuntarily falling on his strong and muscular upper body.
Sunlight shone on his well-defined muscles, giving them a healthy, honey-colored sheen.
Feeling the warmth emanating from the other person's body up close, and smelling that faint, pleasant scent.
A small, azure hand seemed to have a mind of its own, and uncontrollably reached out and touched it gently, wandering around.
This touch————
Firm, warm, and elastic —
Is this... the feel of a legendary Pokémon's body?
This feels amazing!
Bai Zhou felt the unbridled "salty pig's hand" on his chest, and his temples twitched involuntarily, his face darkening once again.
Was he blatantly taken advantage of by this little pervert?!
Bai Zhou immediately wanted to let go of his hands and throw the ignorant brat in his arms into the sea to wake him up.
"Azure".
He lowered his voice, a hint of danger in it, and threatened menacingly into the blue-red ear, "If your hands don't stop—I guarantee, in the next second, in front of all the cameras, I'll let you experience what it means to have your butt bruised and battered."
"No, oh! No! I didn't mean to!"
Azure was instantly jolted awake from her "beauty obsession"!
Realizing the stupid thing she had just done, her fair face flushed red, as if a switch had been flipped.
The ground turned bright red, all the way down to the roots of their ears!
"What does it matter?"
She buried her face in Bai Zhou's neck, her voice muffled and barely audible, carrying a sense of resigned shame.
"Well, anyway, you're a Pokémon—it's only natural for a trainer to pet their own Pokémon—"
Ah! Little Blue!
How could you be so shameless! Taking advantage of a time like this to grope me!
But—it feels so good to the touch!
Azure suspected that Shiraishu had used a charm technique on her, and it was incredibly effective! She herself was now completely captivated, but she had no proof.
Bai Zhou: "————"
Damn it! Don't strip me of my human rights!
