Chapter 49: Have That Woman Named "Red" Come Out and See Me
Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
Back in the room, Ash decided to go to sleep.
Sleeping beside him was Brock.
"This ship... isn't safe."
In a daze, hearing the voice that suddenly rang in his mind, Ash calmed himself slightly and offered comfort.
"Don't be afraid, Brother Red. You know my personality. I'm always cautious."
Red: "?"
Thinking of something, a sly look appeared in Ash's eyes as he teased with a smile, "What, you're not scared, are you...?"
Red: "..."
*It seems I'll have to find a day to educate this ignorant youth on how I single-handedly stormed and overturned Team Rocket's Headquarters...*
According to the ship's route, it would travel from Vermilion City out to the open sea, then circumnavigate a large part of the Kanto Region for a week before arriving at the outskirts of Lavender Town in the northeast.
Further west from there was Saffron City, where the Team Rocket Headquarters was located.
*I wonder what new tricks this world's Team Rocket Headquarters could possibly pull...?*
*Should I take Ash for a tour of Team Rocket's Headquarters then?*
A playful expression appeared on Red's face.
As for this ship, Red wasn't really concerned. He suspected that in the eyes of those other two, it was no different from children playing house.
But what he truly feared was... Ash courting death!
"Whatever. I left Mewtwo with him, so there shouldn't be any problems..."
And so, Red, in his soul state, began to drift into a deep sleep.
Late night, 3 AM.
Sure enough, Ash began to show off his unique brand of thinking.
He was seen putting on a black stealth suit, one that covered him from head to toe, leaving only his mouth exposed.
His lean, muscular build, clad in the black bodysuit, made him look more like James than Jessie.
This black bodysuit was a complimentary outfit provided to guests in every room, said to have a certain... erotic effect.
Ash didn't understand what "erotic" meant, but it was enough to make the nearby Brock blush.
Seeing Brock just holding the outfit, his dark face flushed, Ash asked in confusion, "Teacher Brock, aren't you going to wear it?"
"No need. I just have to put on a pair of black boxer shorts and I can already merge with the night," Brock said confidently.
Wearing his big black shorts, he tried turning off the room light. Sure enough, as soon as he closed his mouth, he blended into the darkness.
Then, the two turned the lights back on and synchronized their watches. Ash said with a serious expression, "Alright, let's go over the plan. There may be criminals on this ship. Our mission is to find their base and discover their objective."
Brock nodded. "Over."
Ash asked again with great solemnity, "This mission might be dangerous. Do you still insist, bro?"
Brock nodded again. "Yes, bro!"
As a righteous Gym Trainer, if there really were criminals gathering on this cruise ship to cause trouble, it was his unshirkable duty to stop them.
Although, he had no idea where Ash got his information...
*And this slang-filled dialogue, where did he even learn it? Did he hear it from one of Professor Oak's lectures?*
The two then pushed the door open, ready to become prowlers in the night, shadowless knights of the darkness.
*Creeak!*
The door opened, and the two, clad in black, stepped out into the hallway.
But in the next second, the magnificent, brightly lit corridor made their all-black attire stand out conspicuously, instantly making them the most eye-catching figures in the crowd.
A few flashy guys passing by even gave them suggestive wolf-whistles.
"Now that's a kinky outfit!"
"So young and already playing such wild games?!"
Brock scratched his head. "Oh, I forgot. The S.S. Anne is lit 25 hours a day."
Sleep at 3 AM?
What is this, a health retreat?
Staying up all night is a gain, and dropping dead is just the end of the line. You'll continue in the next life.
Where leaves dance, flames are born. This is the law of the great universe.
Ash: "..."
The two hurriedly scurried back to their room and changed back into their own clothes.
After that meaningless little interlude, the two changed back into their own clothes and returned to the main hall.
The S.S. Anne provided 25-hour service. Except for a few shops that only opened during prime hours, there was no such thing as nighttime stealth.
For example, Ash had heard that morning about a shop that specifically opened in the evening to sell super-rare gold Magikarp. Now that sounded interesting.
"So, now for Plan B. We go to the deck, sucker punch two crew members, steal their uniforms, and then take a stroll to the captain's room?"
Although Brock really wanted to go and indulge in the glitzy and glamorous world of adults over there, his sense of justice compelled him to stay the course.
"Over."
However, on their way to the deck, the two ran into someone unexpected.
It was a Spiky-Haired Youth with an arrogant expression.
Next to him, with an arm around her, was a graceful woman who was half a head taller than him.
"Well, well, if it isn't a familiar face from back home. Let me introduce you. This is my new girlfriend, Ice-Dream Lapis-Lazuli · Rose-Tear · Love-Zither-Love · J · Sunny-Rain. You can also call her Little Flower," Gary introduced her, looking quite proud.
"Girlfriend?!"
"New...?!"
The expressions of the two changed instantly. Ash, in particular, was trembling with anger, his finger shaking as he pointed at him.
"You've fallen, Gary! To fall for a woman... Don't you ever say you're my rival again!"
Hearing this, Gary sneered dismissively and used Taunt. "Tsk, tsk, you have the nerve to talk about me? Aren't you hiding a woman on you right now?"
Ash: "?"
*Is Pikachu female?*
Seeing the latter's innocent look, Gary grew even more smug.
"Still pretending? I know everything. Have that woman named 'Red' come out and see me. She's my sister-in-law, after all. I should at least greet her."
"!??"
Ash's mouth hung wide open, unable to close.
*So Brother Red... is actually Sister Red?*
For a moment, he actually believed it.
After all, he had never actually asked Red's gender. He had just assumed based on the voice, a wishful gender assignment on his part.
*No wonder every time I called him Brother Red, I could clearly feel his emotions waver, just a little.*
*So I've been using the wrong title?*
*So should I call her Sister Red from now on?*
*Wait, no, how does Gary know Brother Red is with me?*
*And what the hell is this about a sister-in-law?*
"...?"
This series of question marks even woke the sleeping Red, who was even more shocked than Ash.
Ash quickly shook his head and couldn't help but retort, "You need evidence for everything! Don't just spout nonsense. My Brother Red is a virile, tough guy!"
Hearing this, Gary smiled faintly, as if he held victory in his hands.
"Hmph, hmph. I've already heard Brother Green talk about their experiences. Although he didn't say it outright, based on his various descriptions, combined with my years of experience getting a new girlfriend every week, their relationship must be..."
"A young couple!"
Green: "?"
Red: "?"
Ash: "Oh, so that's how it is."
The moment his words fell, a black mist—a Haze—emanated from Gary's seven orifices, instantly enveloping him.
The latter's expression shifted constantly, from arrogant to furious, as if he were suffering from Qi Deviation.
The next second, Gary opened his eyes, his expression and aura changing abruptly.
His previous arrogance and wild pride were replaced by an extreme, introverted depth. His eyes seemed to hold immense wisdom as he looked at everything.
The Aura of a Powerhouse washed over them, forcing everyone to take an involuntary step back.
But his brows were furrowed very, very deeply.
"Sp-Spirit Possession!?" Brock blurted out.
He had seen this state in Ash once before. Although the appearance didn't change, both the temperament and personality were completely different.
This "Gary" then pushed aside the woman next to him, then slowly nodded at the two in apology.
"Everyone, I will discipline him properly when I get back."
Green, now in control, said with a cold snort, his expression extremely foul.
He never expected that Gary had this trick up his sleeve.
*Now he's not just disgusting the enemy, but his own people too?!*
Even he wanted to find a grave and bury himself in it.
Ash understood and said subconsciously, "Oh, oh, so you're that Brother Green? My Sister Red's lo—"
But before he could finish, a strong wave of dizziness struck him, and his vision started to go black.
The next second, he had entered a mysterious space filled with darkness.
Ash couldn't control his own body, but he could perceive his surroundings through his five senses.
Red had also switched control of the body.
As he opened his eyes, a powerful Spiritual Pressure surged forth like a bursting dam, sweeping across the entire hall.
The Momentum erupting from him now was in no way inferior to Green's, and even seemed to hold a faint suppression over it!
"..."
Under the clash of their auras, the entire banquet hall fell into a moment of frozen, murderous silence.
All the tourists felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being stared at by some fierce beast.
In the next instant, however, both of them simultaneously withdrew their leaking Powerhouse auras, turning off their King Engines, and just stared at each other quietly.
But the clash of their Momentum felt even more intense than before.
This was their first head-on confrontation since coming to this world.
"A double Spirit Possession!?"
From his third-person perspective, Brock's eyes widened in fright.
"A-a lovers' reunion!?"
From their first-person perspectives, however, Ash and Gary both burst out laughing.
