CIATB Chapter 115 Naza's vision went black.

Chapter 115 Naza's vision went black.
"No?"
Hearing Naz's words, Ze Shu frowned slightly.
But Natsume glanced at Zeki and said calmly, "Are you being wary of me?"
Ze Shu smiled and said, "Master Naz is renowned, please have some consideration for my fragile heart."
He had heard that this woman, Naz, was known like an animated character who would turn any challenger who came to her door into a "doll."
He is a superpowered individual with an "eccentric personality".
Strangely, the superpowers left behind at the scene, as well as President Silph's condition, also point to the possibility that Sabrina was involved. She is most likely a member of Team Rocket from the special episode.
He was pondering.
But then Sabrina changed the subject, saying, "You're the investigator who captured M. Surge, right? With your abilities, why would you need to be afraid of me?" Zeshu shrugged, still not answering the question, but instead said, "Then, Sabrina, what brings you here?"
Naza looked around: "I'm looking for something."
Ze Shu asked in confusion, "What? This office has been completely destroyed in the explosion."
He subconsciously thought of the "Golden Globe Award" in his arms.
With Sabrina's superpowers, she could easily "bypass" the line of sight and investigate the Master Ball and its contents.
Ze Shu was on guard.
But Sabrina took a step and simply passed by him, completely ignoring the golden ball. Instead, she went straight to the desk that had been smashed to pieces by the double-explosive gas bombs. Her eyes flashed with superpowers, and all that could be heard was the crisp sound of paper rustling.
A tattered page from a bomb floated to her face using Sabrina's superpower.
"This is"
Ze Shu could clearly notice it.
Seeing the tattered pages, Naz instantly showed a slight expression of anger.
She cared a lot about this "page," or rather, she cared a lot about the whole book before this page was blown up.
Her voice even trembled slightly as she asked, "This explosion...:"
Ze Shu decisively said, "It was that Team Rocket officer who called himself Radam who bombed it."
Naz remained silent.
But her anger was evident in her trembling shoulders.
Ze Shu walked past Na Zi's thin shoulder and looked at the pages of the book with a puzzled expression.
There was a story title above—[Sleeping Beauty]
Below is the opening story—[Once upon a time, there was a king who, after getting married, had no children... :::.]
Ok?
Sleeping...Sleeping Beauty?
Is this a fairy tale book?
You came back to the crime scene in such a grand manner just to find this fairy tale book?
Ze Shu asked in confusion, "This book..."
Naza picked up the book, turned and stared at Ze Shu until he felt uneasy, then said in a suppressed, angry voice:
"My things have been found."
Having said that, in a flash, his superpowers began to spin.
Sabrina vanished from Zeki's sight in an instant.
Ze Shu:
He was on edge, ready for battle.
If Naza attacks directly, just take her down directly.
But she clearly knew that Ze Shu, the investigator who had discovered Ma Zhishi's identity, was "suspicious" of her, but she didn't want to expose herself, so she just stared at him for a moment and didn't do anything.
The Shiruff crisis has been resolved.
President Shiruff was also rushed to the hospital.
The entire building of Shiruff, from top to bottom and bottom to top, was completely surrounded by Alliance members.
Not many Team Rocket members who were "guarding" inside managed to escape. Some managed to break through the windows with Flying Pokémon, but they were all caught in mid-air by Lance's Dragonite, who was watching them closely!
Don't let Dragonite's chubby appearance and slow attack speed fool you; at least its flight speed is incredibly fast!
At this moment, Wataru wearily scratched his sparse red hair:
"You mean Sabrina, the gym owner in Goldenrod City?"
"She just used her superpowers to subdue a large group of Team Rocket members who were trying to escape and handed them over to us for arrest... It's a terrifying superpower. You didn't see the scene. That group of Team Rocket members were literally crushed into a ball by her superpowers."
"It's not a Pokémon's ability, but her own superpower."
At this point, Du shook his head.
He then looked at Ze Shu, who had a puzzled expression on his face because of what he had said.
"I know you've taken on a mission from the League to find out if there's a Team Rocket mole among the gym leaders."
"Although Naz is known for her eccentric personality and has a number of negative rumors about her."
"But I think... there's no chance for Natsume."
"Whether it's her ruthless subjugation of the Team Rocket members or her clean background—her grandfather is the president of the Psychic Association and also held an important position in the League."
"So the idea that she might be a Rockets mole doesn't really strike me as very likely."
Du analyzed it this way.
Ze Shu: "..—
Your alliance's initial "analysis" listed Natsumi as a "suspect".
Is it possible...?
Was her ruthlessness towards the Rockets an act of revenge for the destruction of that fairy tale book?
Although it's unclear why Sabrina valued that book so much before, she was clearly angry. Venting her resentment at not being able to attack Zeki on these Team Rocket soldiers was also a form of protection for her Team Rocket identity.
And so, Watari no longer suspected Natsumi.
Moreover, Natsumi is a well-known "rebellious girl".
The kind that can turn your parents into dolls.
Therefore, her reason of "clean background" is not convincing enough, and it is not impossible that Sabrina, this "rebellious girl", directly rebelled into Team Rocket.
Watari's explanation initially left him somewhat puzzled.
Could it be that this Naz is really not from the Rockets?
After all, turning people into dolls at will is not something Team Rocket's Natsumi would do.
But soon...
Zeki himself chuckled and dismissed the idea.
At best, this is a "fusion" of Sabrina. Take Wataru, for example; doesn't he also have the job of an investigator?
Moreover... the storybook pages that Sabrina was looking for were in the president's office, and the president was under hypnosis by superpowers, so this couldn't possibly be a coincidence.
Her anger over the Rockets' "arrest" and her outrage over Lambda.
This at most shows that the Rockets' management team is not so harmonious.
The disharmony within the Rockets team...
On the contrary, it can be used to write articles.
Furthermore, since Sabrina doesn't want to be exposed... then...:
Ze Shu narrowed his eyes, a sentence coming to mind:
"Miss Sabrina, you don't want your Team Rocket identity to be revealed to your family either."
"No, this rebellious girl doesn't really care about her family."
Golden Dojo.
Naz entered her room.
Despite the outside world's perception of her as having an eccentric personality, her room is quite ordinary, a very cozy girl's room with various cute Pokémon and human dolls scattered around, seemingly symbolizing the inner world of a "soft girl".
But as soon as she stepped into the room, she paused, then suddenly said coldly:
"Get out! Who gave you permission to enter my room!"
"Don't be so heartless... You're still a teammate on the Rockets."
Athena, dressed in thick, pregnant-looking clothes, slowly walked out from the side, smiling as she spoke.
But Naz didn't appreciate it.
Her expression grew even colder.
A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes, causing the objects scattered throughout the room to tremble slightly.
Everyone dislikes people who have no sense of boundaries and arbitrarily infringe on other people's space.
"Then you can leave now," she said. "There are League members everywhere outside. How am I supposed to leave in this situation?" Athena said. "And Team Rocket's mission failed, Miss Sabrina, don't you bear some responsibility? I heard your hypnosis of President Silph wasn't very effective..."
'
Naz said coldly, "What does your four generals' mission failure have to do with me?"
"Are you still staying here? Do you want my identity exposed, forcing me to be arrested by the Alliance? To become like a rat in the gutter like you? Let me tell you, the investigator who subdued Mt. Surge was also involved in this operation."
"Get as far away as possible..."
"I will report every detail of the actions here to Sakaki, including the stupid things that idiot Lambda did." Northern Athena gave an embarrassed smile: "You have a really sharp tongue...Sarcasm."
Her expression was somewhat unpleasant.
Although I already knew that this Natsumi was the one in the Rockets who was the most "obedient but not dictated" and the most difficult to approach.
But when he actually faced her now, he couldn't help but feel awkward and embarrassed.
Especially this superpower that subtly threatens.
It truly terrified her.
Naza's hair floated slightly in mid-air as she said, "This is your last chance to leave, or you'll become... a doll here, forever."
Athena: "No..."
She repeatedly waved her hand, gritted her teeth, and said, "I can leave, but there are many Alliance members outside. If I am arrested now, Boss Sakaki will definitely blame you."
"So, all I need is for you to do me a little favor and cover for me..."
"Six double-gas self-destructing missiles?!"
"Yes...yes. But Xiao Lan, please don't pinch my cheek anymore, and look, I'm fine now. I said this just to warn you to be more careful in the future, and not to fall for these insidious tricks..."
Golden City Cafe.
Liuwei sat at the table, diligently devouring the desserts served at the coffee shop:
Ice Eevee nestled comfortably in Ze Shu's arms, its eyes half-closed.
Under the table, Psyduck, clutching its head, was using its psychic powers to control a menu, quacking away as it "ordered" food under Memrido's command.
Beside him, the Pokémon server featuring other regional specialties—Meloditon—sometimes listened with confusion, and sometimes nodded in sudden understanding.
at this time.
Xiao Lan stood up, stepped over the table laden with food, and pinched Ze Shu's face tightly with her fingers, her brown eyes staring straight at him. "Seriously, Ze Shu, you need to be careful about your own safety... Isn't that Du Tian Wang here too? Why don't you let Du Tian Wang take the brunt of these self-destructions...?"
As she spoke, her hand even seemed to reach out to check other areas.
However, Ze Shu stopped him.
She sat down dejectedly and said again:
"Then we need to find a Pokémon that can generate moisture, so we can carry it with us at all times."
Ze Shu: "For example..."
Blue: "I heard that a new ability capsule has been developed in the Galar region. Since Psyduck's 'Easy Swim' ability is useless anyway, maybe I should let it eat it...:"
Psyduck, confused: "Quack?"
Ze Shu turned his head: "You don't need to worry about it."
Psyduck suddenly realized: "Quack..."
Once it believed it, it continued to "order" from Super Meow Meow.
"Let's talk about this later," Ze Shu shook his head. "The incident in Golden City isn't over yet..."
Xiao Lan: "So..."
Zeki: "So, let's challenge the Saffron Gym!"
Xiao Lan: "Huh?"
She had no idea what the gym challenge had to do with the events in Saffron City.
Golden Dojo.
It is known as the most "devilish" gym by gym challengers in the Kanto region.
Without substantial strength, ordinary challengers wouldn't dare to attempt it at all—no, they wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Those who fail the challenge will be turned into dolls by the "superpowered genius girl" Sabrina, the gym owner, for a whole week.
Being unable to move, eat, or sleep for a week, with even my eyes blurry, is such a torturous experience!
Therefore, the area in front of the Golden Dojo is quite sparse.
It's not even as lively as the fighting dojo next door, which has had its dojo status revoked.
Thus, Zeki didn't even need to "queue" to qualify for the gym battle. After passing through the various psychic students practicing their abilities in the front hall and navigating the maze of teleportation traps in Saffron City, he finally arrived at the gym battle arena.
Naz was already waiting there.
She sat in the "main seat," staring blankly at a tattered page in her hand, seemingly engrossed in reading the story on it.
Ze Shu coughed twice before she noticed him.
She looked up, even pausing for a moment: "Investigator? You..."
Ze Shu smiled: "Can't investigators challenge gyms?"
As expected, I was suspected.
When Naza saw the unfamiliar name "Ze Shu," she initially thought it was just an ordinary challenger, but she never expected it to be... the name of the investigator who subdued Lt. Surge.
After a long silence, Naz said, "Okay..."
She meant to say, "If you fail the challenge, you'll turn into a doll..."
but.
"I remember you registered 0 badges?"
The adorable little demon she released with her hand was so frightened by the cold-faced Komato soldier in front of Ze Shu that it trembled all over. It covered its eyes and didn't even dare to look directly at him.
This "dojo battle" was naturally difficult to continue.
Ze Shu: "Hmm, it seems my little soldier Komado bullied you."
He suddenly said, "Perhaps we can send out our main team, but a one-on-one battle will suffice. I've heard that your main Pokémon, Sabrina, is a very powerful Alakazam, and I'd like to see it."
Sabrina paused for a moment, then remained silent, her psychic powers surging as a Poké Ball was launched.
A flash of white light.
But then a Mr. Mime appeared on the field.
It's nothing like the Alakazam that Zeki described.
Zeki: "Where's Alakazam?"
Without blinking, Naz said, "It's uncomfortable."
Ze Shu pressed further, "What kind of illness is it?"
Naz said calmly, "You don't need to know."
Ze Shu laughed and said, "Ten minutes ago, the League's surveillance cameras spotted a large Psychic Apprentice being escorted to the outskirts of Goldenrod City by an Alakazam, seemingly fleeing for his life. To me, it reminds me of Athena, the Team Rocket executive on the arrest warrant."
"Sigh... I thought that was your Alakazam, Gym Leader, but it wasn't. So your Alakazam is injured..."
"Coincidentally, I have a Pokémon called Almostdoll, which has healing abilities. Perhaps letting it meet Alakazam could cure Alakazam's discomfort."
"So what about Alakazam?"
......
Naz remained silent.
After a long pause, she suddenly looked up, her superpowers subtly surging. Her refined face was cold and stern as she asked directly, "What exactly do you know?!"
Ze Shu shook his head and sighed, "Is it really that urgent?"
Naz: "....."
She stared wide-eyed at Ze Shu, her tone carrying a hint of threat:
"If you're not going to challenge the gym, then don't cause trouble..."
When the word "捣" is mentioned.
She vanished from the main seat in a daze, suddenly floating around Ze Shu, her superpowers surging wildly and pouring directly into him, wanting to subdue Ze Shu directly!
The Mr. Mime also looked serious as it rubbed the transparent light wall in front of it, a phantom "illusion ray" poised to be unleashed.
Ke Zeshu suddenly said:
"I have sensors on me. If I'm attacked by a powerful psychic, the League will surround this Goldenrod Gym just like they surrounded Silph Tower. Trust me, with two Elite Four members here, you can't escape."
As soon as he said that...
Sabrina's superpowers suddenly stopped.
The Mr. Mime panicked and shot the illusion beam towards the gym's ceiling.
Seeing the surprised look on Naza's face, Ze Shu smiled and said, "Perhaps we can talk."
Natsume coldly replied, "What can we talk about!"
Ze Shu didn't care about her attitude: "A lot..."
"For example, what are the recent plans for small bases in other locations to attack...?"
Although he didn't say "the main body," both Ze Shu and Na Zi knew that the other knew what "the main body" meant.
Team Rocket's Mount Tsukimi operation caught Sawaki, or rather, Lance, completely off guard. This was an operation not found in the original work, which made Sawaki want to take precautions.
The Rockets, under Giovanni's management, became far too large...
It's better to get this information than to kill Naz.
Naza scoffed, "You want me to be an undercover agent?"
Ze Shu retorted, "Weren't you an undercover agent to begin with?"
Naz seemed to relax at this "rhetorical question." After a long silence, she suddenly raised her head and asked, half pitifully and half hesitantly:
"Are you sure that if I tell you these things, even if my 'undercover' identity is exposed later, I can get the league's forgiveness? Can you guarantee the league won't punish me...?"
Ze Shu blinked, looking at the suddenly changed Natsumi, and frowned slightly:
"Of course I can, I think I can do it."
Naza suddenly smiled, as if in gratitude, and floated closer to Zeshu:
"If that's the case, I think I can agree to be your inside man."
"but."
"That'll have to wait until I've 'brainwashed' you!"
As she drifted close enough, Sabrina's "smile" suddenly cooled down, and a suffocating superpower burst forth, like a tsunami suddenly unleashed by the Origin Fathead Fish, and pounced on Zeki!
"really"
"I've been on guard against you for a while now."
The soldier with the dagger suddenly blocked Ze Shu's path.
Relying on the Dark attribute's immunity to superpowers, it helped Sawaki withstand most of the superpowers.
Immediately, Ze Shu pushed off with his feet, spread his arms, and flashed towards Sabrina, who was close enough to ambush him.
The fingers, with their distinct knuckles, suddenly gripped Nazi's fair and slender neck, digging deep into her throat, causing her to choke uncomfortably.
"Wouldn't it be better to be an inside man? The conditions I mentioned are clearly achievable..."
He sighed.
Naza stared stubbornly at Ze Shu.
Despite being in such a predicament, she managed a weak smile, a childlike smugness in her eyes, as she stammered and struggled to speak:
"As expected, your...sensor was a lie...How can I believe you?"
Zeki: "...—
"no...""
Can the words spoken by an "enemy" be the same as those spoken by a "friend"?
At least he was convinced that what he promised, he could definitely do.
But this Naz seems to be a child with a traumatic childhood.
They dismiss everything without hesitation, based on just the slightest suspicion.
"I'm sorry..." Ze Shu sighed, "I'll have to find another Rockets mole to be my inside man. You should faint for now. Don't worry, they won't do anything to your body."
The next undercover agent, for example... Chaper.
He might know more.
Ze Shu's knuckles were about to exert force to knock Nazzi unconscious.
But suddenly.
He saw Naz's forced smile.
I felt a sudden jolt to my head, as if I'd been struck hard with a sledgehammer, and I felt dizzy... My vision gradually blurred, and everything around me became indistinct...
"cough"
Feeling Ze Shu's knuckles loosen slightly, Na Zi quickly coughed and took a breath.
Feeling the soothing air, a sense of relief welled up in her eyes.
Although she almost fell for the "investigator's" trick, she eventually subdued her.
but.
"What is this?"
She suddenly looked at the dark beads emitting light at Ze Shu's waist with a startled expression.
All her superpowers were "absorbed" into her!
Perhaps due to the absorption of superpowers, the darkness intensified and gradually enveloped her and Ze Shu.
And it was accompanied by the fluttering and echoing of the torn pages of the "Sleeping Beauty" fairy tale book she carried with her.
Naz felt her vision gradually darken.
His body was weak, his steps were unsteady, and he slowly fell to the ground.
It seemed that, along with Ze Shu, who was also affected by this darkness, they entered a dream together.
Ding-dong...!
The "Nightmare Bead," a condensed form of Darkrai, fell to the ground from Ze Shu's waist.
It makes a crisp sound.
I don't know how much time passed.
Ze Shu groggily "woke up".
All I could hear was noise around me.
"Look, look! The King! The King! He's come out wearing new clothes!"
"So beautiful, so beautiful! I'm definitely a smart person!"
Did you see that?
"Of course I saw it!"
Hearing the noise of the "people" around him, Ze Shu slowly opened his eyes, only to find himself in a crowded place—no,
It wasn't a crowd...
The "people" around include: Rattata, Arbok, Pikachu, Nidoking, Clefairy...
This is a Pokémon group, but...
These Pokémon can talk? Speak human language?
Moreover, he kept chanting phrases like "King" and "New Clothes" with great enthusiasm.
Ze Shumei.
Follow the gaze of the frenzied "crowd" and look where they are looking.
There was a passageway in the center.
On a luxurious carriage, a chubby dragon with an exaggerated crown waved "benevolently" at the surrounding crowd, and with each wave, the crowd exclaimed in exaggerated manner:
"What a beautiful new dress!"
"I can see it! I can see it!"
"The king has truly found a tailor with exceptional skills!"
Ze Shu: "
Everyone's praising the Dragonite King's new clothes?
But he looked at it.
This chubby Dragonite isn't wearing any clothes at all!
It also reveals its round belly, which looks very soft and must feel very comfortable to rub.
