There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

Nazi remained silent for a long time.

The man even mistakenly thought that this [discussion] would end with the table being overturned, as the arm wrapped in red sleeves slowly rose.

"Two people."

Nancy held up two fingers.

"of course."

The young man's lips curled up into a winner's smile, "Thank you for your generosity."

The blue light in Nancy's eyes deepened, and a crack slowly appeared in the wall not far away, moving to both sides.

The man took a step forward curiously.

The next moment, the stone wall that rose from the ground almost broke his nose!

"Hey!"

The man who had survived the disaster covered his nose and shouted angrily, "You want to regret it?!"

The index finger circles in the air, invisible superpowers flowing through its fingertips.

Nancy's eyes were cold and her tone was icy.

"Just because I give it back to you two doesn't mean you can wander around the Golden Gym."

The man let out a light click, his brows furrowed.

"Another mission..."

He leaned close to the boy's ear and whispered, "Trick her again."

The young man glanced sideways at the grinning man but did not give a clear response.

He took a step forward slowly, and several stone walls rising from the ground blocked his way like an iron wall.

"Don't test my patience."

Nancy opened her arms on the throne, and the cotton scattered on the ground seemed to have grown arms and legs, flying towards the rift in the doll's chest and abdomen.

The crack healed, the buttonhole returned, and the ball that had disappeared somewhere appeared in the doll's arms.

The doll crawled up from the ground, looked at the boy fearfully while holding the ball, and threw itself into the girl's arms without looking back.

"Immune superpowers..."

Nazi stroked the doll's long hair and said word by word, "The friend who clings to you told me that this is an illusion."

At some point, a tube of medicine appeared between her fingers.

The colorful eyes attracted the girl's eyes deeply, and she murmured softly.

"Is this it? The reason why it doesn't work."

The man's face suddenly changed, and he reached for the pocket of his shirt belatedly.

"when?!"

In the dimly lit hall, something was moving silently.

Having completed its mission, it jumped back to the ground with the man's big movements and started to run away.

"Well--!"

The sudden huge force crushed its body and made it unable to move!

"little tricks."

The boy crushed his heels harder, and the screams in his ears made his eyes flash with a sense of pleasure that he was determined to win.

The man looked carefully and was shocked!

What was twisting under the boy's feet was actually a wooden puppet!

"stop!"

Nancy lost her composure for a moment and suddenly stood up from the throne.

Until this moment, her disguised calmness and strength were easily exposed by the puppet's screams!

Her pupils turned blood red, and invisible superpower fluctuations surged again!

"No!"

The puppet tried its best to shout, "Don't worry about me, Nazi! Run!"

"But..."

Nancy's raised right hand froze in mid-air, her expression hesitant, and she murmured in confusion, "Leaving behind my friends..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!!"

"Chatty."

The doll that was crushed again screamed in agony. The boy slowly raised his head while wailing and looked at Nancy who was trembling all over.

"Now, may we please come in?"

Nancy's distinct blue and white eyes were filled with helplessness. The current situation was completely beyond her and her friends' expectations!

She bit her lower lip tightly, struggling internally.

If we let them in...

What should friends, Pokémon, and everyone in Golden City do?

"three..."

The impatient boy issued a final countdown.

"two..."

"one!"

"no problem!"

Before her heels fell again, the girl finally let go and shouted.

The man took a few steps forward happily and threw her a seductive look.

"You made the right choice~"

Nancy said nothing, she quickly jumped off the throne and knelt on the ground, holding the doll in her palm tremblingly.

The two ignored her and walked towards the passage between the two walls.

The man even whistled leisurely.

"I saw your future..."

As she was about to step in, Nancy spoke softly.

The young man paused in mid-air and turned to look.

Nancy held the doll carefully in front of her heart, blue light flickering in her eyes.

"The potion's effects are limited in time, and the immunity to superpowers it confers is gradually weakening."

Therefore, Nancy saw a future that was more distant than the previous scene through the backs of the two people.

"No...you are not the enemy."

Nancy murmured, "But, they are not friends either."

"Your future is neither black nor white, a mixture of betrayal and silence, the joy of getting what you want and the pain of heartbreak."

Nancy's body slowly disappeared, leaving only a warning.

"In the end, one person knelt down in front of the corpse, and the other slept forever in the deep sea."

----

"What did she mean?"

In the dim passage, the man broke the silence.

"Betrayal or something."

He laughed a few times, "Surely you don't mean the betrayal between us?"

"After all, we have already prepared together..."

The boy said nothing.

The [prophecy] left by Nancy kept flashing in his mind, and he kept analyzing and rehearsing the future.

Best results:

Betrayal - Team Rocket

Silence - the hidden secret

Joy - Destroy Team Rocket

pain--......

He was stunned, as if he could not imagine whose corpse he or the man would hold in agony at some point in the future.

As for the eternal sleep...

He glanced inconspicuously at the man who seemed relaxed and at ease, as if he didn't take the prophecy to heart at all.

Although he was prepared to make sacrifices when he embarked on this journey.

but...

Someone's smile flashed through his mind, and he raised his hands to clench the clothes on his chest.

No, he regretted it!

He doesn't want to die!

"Don't worry, I will be the one to die."

The man seemed to see his cowardice and spoke in a nonchalant manner.

"Let me tell you a secret."

"More than a decade ago, I made a promise with someone that when we die, we will be buried in the sea together."

The man's tone was slightly deep, as if he was reminiscing.

"If, I mean if we really succeed..."

"I will fulfill the promise between me and him."

“The sea is such a nice place.”

Who is he missing?

Relatives?

friend?

Or... lovers?

The boy, who knew little of his past, lowered his eyes, thinking about something.

After a few seconds, the man retracted his slightly exposed vulnerability and put his hand on the boy's shoulder.

"Maybe you'll cry while hugging my corpse in the end?"

He raised his hands and patted them, smiling, "I didn't expect you to have such deep feelings for me. I'm really flattered!"

"arrive."

The boy ignored him and looked up at the slightly open door.

"There are some over there too."

The man raised his chin. "There are several doors. Try them one by one?"

"Maybe these are all tricks left by Nancy, just to separate us."

"will not."

The boy retorted.

"She is innocent by nature. She would not resort to such methods without the advice of others."

"Right."

The man nodded in agreement. "With such unreasonable superpowers, even when facing Team Rocket, they only imprisoned the intruders and had no intention of eradicating them completely."

"Dolls, puppets, balls..."

He forced a laugh through his lips.

"What a lovely little girl."
