Chapter 96: The Big Three Reunite
Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
"Which treacherous commoner dares to assassinate me!"
Gary's adrenaline instantly spiked to its peak. His hand speed maxed out as his eyes darted around, searching for something to block this astonishing slash.
There!
He saw something.
Gary violently lifted it in front of him. It was incredibly hard, and he actually managed to block the sharp Wooden Sword. Sparks flew from the point of contact.
"Well done, Wartortle!" Gary laughed heartily.
Wartortle's Tortoise Shell was extremely hard, effortlessly blocking Blue's attack.
Wartortle: "?"
Held aloft in mid-air and used as a shield, it was somewhat bewildered.
This was really troublesome.
After the clash of strength, the two of them each took a step back. The three from Pallet Town had met again for the first time since the S.S. Anne, creating a three-way standoff reminiscent of the alliance of Shu and Wu against Wei.
Gary's gaze swept over them. One was the blockheaded Ash. The other, though her appearance was unfamiliar, based on that sharp sword aura, was probably that stupid girl Blue.
He had previously stolen some information from Elder Brother Green and knew that the terrifying woman behind Blue was most skilled in Transform and Disguise. It wouldn't be a problem for Blue, as her counterpart, to have stolen a few tricks.
"Yo, isn't it Ash and Blue? Are you here to run the Silph Co. Dungeon too? Won't your Level be a bit too low?"
He whistled, his expression frivolous.
Hearing this, Blue couldn't stand it anymore. She was just about to raise her Wooden Sword for another strike.
"Wait a second!"
Gary abruptly held up a hand, interrupting her Move. With unexpected seriousness, he asked:
"Why do you want to slash me?"
Blue's expression froze. She thought for a moment, and suddenly the chill in her eyes intensified. She gnashed her teeth and said, "Your crimes are too numerous to count. I will definitely kill you."
Seeing this, Gary revealed a smile that said he had everything under control. "Well, that's quite funny. Since we got off the S.S. Anne, you built a Grave for me. That means all our past grievances have vanished into thin air. How can you speak of any grudges now?"
The Wooden Sword in Blue's hand trembled, and she found it a little hard to breathe.
She had indeed said at the Grave that day that since he was dead, their grudges were settled, and the two would remain on friendly terms as Compatriots.
Seeing her hesitate, Gary suddenly took a large step forward, pressing her relentlessly and forcing her to retreat again and again.
"What? You're still going to attack me? To break an Oath... that's a great disrespect to the deities," he said, looking Blue straight in the eye.
"I'm not..." she argued feebly.
At that moment, Gary snatched the Wooden Sword from her hand, reversed it, and placed it against his own neck, veins bulging. "Perhaps you're just a person without Faith. Fine then, slash me. Right here on my neck! Go on, do it!"
"I have Faith! May the gods not blame me..."
Blue was so frightened she dropped the Wooden Sword and hid behind Ash, cold sweat pouring down her back.
Seeing this, Gary was inwardly triumphant. He had Blue's weakness completely in his grasp. A person who carried incense and candles with them was bound to be superstitious. As long as he kept attacking with idealistic paper tigers like Faith and gods, her Mental Fortitude would surely be broken by him.
On the surface, he looked at Blue with an expression of utter grief and indignation.
Ash: "..."
Listening to this string of twisted logic, he wished he could just punch Gary in the forehead.
However, the two of them had no grudge, so he couldn't really make a move.
So he could only snort coldly, "Hmph, Gary, I'm claiming the head of the Rainbow Group Boss."
"With your skill level, you want to be a kill-stealer? Oh, I'm so scared, ahahaha."
Gary showed no weakness. After dealing with Blue, he started in on Ash. The two of them pressed forward, sparks flying from their locked gazes.
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!"
Then, both of them turned their heads away at the same time, ignoring each other.
"Let's go, Blue. We'll team up to fight the Boss. Ignore this flea." Ash pulled away Blue, who was still staring at her trembling hands, questioning her life and Faith, and headed for the stairwell.
"Teaming up is indeed a more logical strategy. The weak certainly do love to form teams, hee hee."
Gary jeered, then walked in the opposite direction of the stairwell.
With his brain, even if the Rule of the Transfer Device had changed again, he was confident he could figure out the pattern immediately and teleport directly to the 40th floor.
"Hmph, it'll only take this great one two hours to get straight to the 40th floor. Aren't you mad? Ahahahaha!" He stood with his hands on his hips, his attitude extremely arrogant.
Ash, Blue: "?"
Green: "?"
Two hours?
I've already finished the 400-floor building...
"Hmph, Idiot!"
Ash cursed inwardly and, ignoring Gary, walked towards the stairs.
"Hmph, Reckless Fighter!"
Gary also cursed inwardly. Ignoring the two of them, he began to lower his head and analyze the teleportation pattern on the Ground. He was confident he could shorten the time to one hour and 50 minutes...
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Suddenly, the Warp Tiles on the entire floor lit up again, instantly enveloping the three of them, who had no way to dodge.
Ash's body shuddered as he roared:
"Pikachu, quick, use Iron Tail on the Warp Tile!"
There was no reason to just stand there and take it!
Hearing him, Pikachu's eyes lit up. It leaped high, its tail already covered in a metallic sheen. After three spins in the air, its acceleration due to Gravity reached its peak, and it smashed down towards the Ground.
"Pika-chu!"
"Clang!"
The Warp Tile was incredibly hard. It instantly erupted with sparks from the impact, and Pikachu was thrown back onto Ash's shoulder.
The Warp Tile was only faintly cracked open, not completely shattered.
"Idiot, what's the use of just using brute force!?"
Seeing this, Gary, who was at the side, also seized the opportunity. Taking advantage of the crack Pikachu had made, he quickly waved his hand:
"Wartortle, use Hydro Pump!"
"Kamee!!"
Wartortle took a deep breath and violently spewed an incredibly thick jet of blue water. Its Power was terrifying, much stronger than the Hydro Pump of Misty's Starmie. The stream of water frantically washed over the cracked Warp Tile.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!"
The water continuously seeped into the crack.
"Zzzzt—"
Finally, upon hearing an Electric Current from the Warp Tile, Gary's eyes lit up.
So what if it's powerful Black Technology? It's still not waterproof, is it?
However, the White Light from the surrounding Warp Tiles still hadn't faded. The light in Ash's and Gary's eyes dimmed, and they could only think to themselves that they were about to be teleported again. On the other side, however, Blue's gaze sharpened. She struck like Lightning and once again used Divine Lance!
"Crack!"
The Wooden Sword shot out and stabbed directly into the crack in the Warp Tile. Instantly, electric sparks flew everywhere.
The next second, the White Light flared, accompanied by terrifying electrical sparks, completely covering all three of them.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"
The three of them vanished from the spot simultaneously.
"Swoosh."
Silph Co. Building, Phantom 41st Floor. Gary's figure suddenly appeared here.
This was a spacious Training Ground. There was only a red-haired woman standing there, watching him with a teasing gaze.
The woman was in her early twenties, her face bewitchingly beautiful. Long, fiery red hair cascaded down her back. She wore a long, white Uniform dress, and on her chest was a reddish-purple 'R' Logo.
One of Team Rocket's four Core Executives, Ariana.
"Gary from Pallet Town, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Ariana licked her full, sensual lips and smiled.
"You're quite a handsome little guy. It'd be a real shame to have to finish you off."
Seeing this, Gary was stunned at first, but he quickly recovered. A wild grin spread across his face, and he stared intently at the red-haired woman as if sizing up prey. Finally, he gave a disdainful, cold laugh:
"Oh? My opponent is just some old woman? Am I going to have to fight a woman today? Hee hee."
Ariana: "?"
This guy... is really asking for a beating.
