Chapter 44: Her Sword Can Cut Through All Things!
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
As Ash stared in bewilderment, Blue shakily raised her right hand, her palm trembling uncontrollably like she had Parkinson's.
After some Dragon Language Communication, Ash finally learned the whole story.
“…”
Several days ago, she and Gary had made an agreement. He would take care of all the other miscellaneous tasks in the city, while she would be responsible for cutting down all the weeds and trees.
It wasn't a huge amount of work.
They would work together and enjoy life together the day after tomorrow.
For the first two days, her Ace, Ivysaur, was the one responsible for felling the trees.
But halfway through, Blue decided to roll up her sleeves and join in with an axe.
By the end, the axe had broken. Since she didn't have a DIY Manual, she had to rely on her own hand to chop down the trees.
Ash: "?"
Wait a minute, so the "Bare-Handed Tree-Chopping Maniac" who had been running rampant in Vermilion City recently was the girl right in front of him?
He remembered seeing a report about it on the Vermilion News.
But the suspect's Avatar was pixelated, so he hadn't recognized her.
Suddenly thinking of something, Blue's haggard face broke into a smile, her large eyes squinting into crescent moons, looking utterly content and adorable.
With her other hand, she shakily pulled out a crumpled cruise ticket.
This was the spoils of war from her hard work over the past few days—waking up at 5 a.m. and going to sleep at 2 a.m. every day.
"Hee hee, but I can finally be one of the elites now."
However, Ash also took out a cruise ticket and said with a smile:
"What a coincidence. I'm going to be one of the elites too."
Blue: "!?"
Just then, Brock and Misty returned.
They were carrying several bags of ingredients, preparing to cook a delicious meal for the evening.
Seeing Ash and Blue both holding up their cruise tickets, they thought some kind of organizational ritual was about to take place and instinctively took out their own tickets as well.
"What a coincidence. We're going to be elites too," the two of them said with cheerful smiles.
The entire group was going to be elites.
Blue: "!!!?"
Just as the long-reunited group was about to exchange pleasantries, Blue seemed to notice something. Her listless, salted fish state vanished in an instant.
With a *swish*, she stood up, her back ramrod straight, like a sharp sword being unsheathed.
Her aura was completely different!
An invisible energy permeated the area around her body, and her long brown hair began to float slowly, as if gathering some kind of power.
In an instant, a sharp intent, so dense it could sunder gold and earth, enveloped the other three. The wild and rampant Sword Intent forced them all to take a step back.
"Such powerful Sword Aura..."
"I'm afraid she's already reached the Heavenly Sword Realm!"
Brock and Misty were utterly shocked. The former's eyes were so frightened they narrowed into a single slit.
In the next moment, Blue had already struck!
Her arm shot up, the side of her palm transforming into an indestructible blade's edge as she aimed a diagonal slash at Brock.
Brock: "??!"
Danger!
Caught off guard and utterly bewildered, Brock retreated again and again.
But Blue changed her footwork and followed, giving him no chance to dodge.
There was no escape!
A brilliant Sword Intent erupted from her beautiful eyes.
As her hand rose and fell, the others could only hear the terrifying sound of a sharp blade tearing through the air. A brilliant white light shot toward the sky, threatening to pierce through the ceiling of the Pokémon Center.
"Die!!" Blue shouted in a low voice.
Her sword could cut through all things!
*Swoosh!*
The slash shot out in an instant and was retracted just as quickly.
The sword sheathed, Blue took a deep breath, placing her right palm at her waist.
*Tap…!*
The next second, the three stalks of leek in Brock's arms were all severed at the middle.
The cuts were smooth and clean. Only a Master of the Quick Draw Slash with decades of practice could produce such a strike.
Yet the plastic bag around the leek was completely undamaged, as if the Sword Aura had passed right through it. It was a bizarre sight.
Brock: "?"
Everyone else: "?"
After executing the Quick Draw Slash, Blue's energy instantly dissipated.
She reverted to her listless, salted fish state and slumped back into her chair.
Her face flushed red as she pressed down on her still-trembling right hand and said slowly:
"Sorry... I... I couldn't hold back."
Her Slash had been honed to perfection. Even the Vermilion News had awarded her an Honorary Medal for being the "King of Tree-Chopping."
As a result, whenever she saw weeds or branches now... she instinctively wanted to use Slash.
She was no longer pure. She had become a ruthless slashing machine...
Everyone else: "..."
Was she a lost cause?
The other two went to the Pokémon Center's back kitchen to prepare dinner, leaving only Ash and Blue in the rest area.
Seeing that no one else was around, Blue blinked her large eyes and suddenly asked tentatively:
"Don't you think we've been misjudging him all this time? Maybe Gary is actually a good person at heart...?"
Ash: "?"
*Have the dead nerve endings in your palm moved up and finally affected your brain?*
"Hey, hey, think about it! I ended up like this just from chopping trees. According to Gary, his workload was fifty times mine. He even said he only slept for one hour a day, forgetting to eat or sleep, just to earn those two cruise tickets."
"When I ran into him yesterday, he even said with a proud look on his face that it was all for the honor of Pallet Town!"
Blue was moved.
Although every time she saw Gary, he was in a cafe drinking coffee and looking perfectly fine... surely, by now, Gary's body and mind must have been utterly devastated!
This truly was a wicked city that sucked the lifeblood out of people!
She wanted to strike out with a fist in anger, but at this moment, she didn't even have the strength to make a fist. Her hand unfurled in the air, instinctively forming the motion of a slash.
Ash: "..."
"Ahem, well, about that... I spoke with Professor Oak on the phone earlier..."
After hesitating for a long time, Ash's tone became serious, and he decided to tell her the truth.
"The Professor said he had two cruise tickets from the Pokémon League that he sent to Gary. One was for Gary, and as for the other, he said whoever ran into him first could just get it from him."
He had figured that since Blue had already set out, and he had a ticket from Professor Cerise, he wouldn't compete for the free ticket.
Before he could finish, Ash realized it had suddenly gone quiet in front of him.
He quickly looked down. Blue's eyes had gone dark.
Her once bright eyes had completely transformed into the "X—X" expression of a dead fish.
Though one of her hands was still tracing a tree-chopping motion in the air...
"I'm going to chop him to death..." she said weakly.
Then, she fell into a complete faint.
It was a true faint. Not even Blue (manga character) from the depths of her consciousness emerged.
The moment she had started splitting trees with her bare hands on the first day, Blue (manga character) had already completely sealed off her mental link with Blue and entered a deep sleep.
This girl had already entered a frenzied state.
Ash: "..."
He took a deep breath, let his Sink Qi to Dantian, his expression grave.
*So Gary's strength has already reached such a level? As expected of my rival...*
*It seems I can't be the least bit careless when I face Gary in the future. Otherwise, one misstep and I could end up just like Blue.*
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, a Spiky-Haired Youth was currently crossing his legs, still leisurely sipping his coffee.
At that moment, a voice suddenly emerged in his mind.
It was a low and rather steady voice.
"I can feel it. That guy, Red, has also arrived in this city."
Gary shivered and couldn't help but ask, "Red? Is that the guy you said was even stronger than you, Elder Brother Green?"
In the Soul World, Green's brow furrowed, and he immediately retorted, "We're... evenly matched."
Gary rubbed his chin. Based on his current trajectory, that blockhead Ash had probably arrived in this city by now too, right?
Hmph, messing with that idiot girl Blue was no challenge at all. It was time to switch targets.
Hahaha, just let the great Gary show you all what true fear is!
At this moment, Gary was undoubtedly full of confidence.
