Ash looked at the crowd in the center, where two groups were competing. One group consisted of a team of seven or eight women, led by a woman wearing a kimono, with black short hair, and a pink hairpin on her head.
The other group consisted of three people, led by someone who looked exactly like White, except that their hair and eyes were black, and they were wearing all Team Rocket's Black uniforms...
"You despicable thief, hand over what you've stolen!" The woman in the kimono glared angrily at the Team Rocket members in front of her.
"Oh? If I just hand it over, won't that make me look like a fool?" The Team Rocket leader, a young woman, sneered at the angry expression on the woman's face.
"Since you won't hand it over, don't blame me for being impolite." The woman pulled out a Poké Ball from her clothes, "Go, Vileplume." She threw out her Pokémon.
"Oh, your Vileplume looks pretty strong, but I have no interest in playing with you anymore." The leader of the girls looked at the growing crowd and the sound of police sirens in the distance.
She knew that if she didn't leave soon, she would be stuck there. She signaled to her two henchmen behind her, and they understood. They threw two gas bombs, which immediately released a smoke screen, enveloping the entire area and surrounding the onlookers.
The black mist dissipated… and the Team Rocket was already gone.
"Damn it…" The kimono dress woman stomped her foot angrily, then led her people back. Seeing that the main character had left, there was nothing else to see and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Ash had originally planned to find a hotel to stay in, but then a voice echoed in his mind: "Team Rocket's Downfall Part 2: Follow Black's footsteps, retrieve the flower shop's prized perfume from her hands, gain 5 Slave Points, full body enhancement +1, Grass-type attribute enhancement +1, and the Celadon City Gym's Group Flower Guide." Upon hearing the task, Ash wasn't particularly interested in the enhancements, but the final reward, the Flower Guide?
Ash was quite intrigued.
"Damn it. How am I supposed to find it in such a big city?" Ash finally realized this, but just as he spoke those words, a simulated map appeared in his mind, with a small red dot moving on it.
"Alright. You're amazing." Ash looked at the map in his mind and couldn't help but admire it. This kind of high-tech stuff was like playing an online game.
Ash stopped wasting time and followed the map's instructions to start searching for Black's trail. It must be said that Black, as an elite captain of Team Rocket, had Ash running around like a fool.
"Damn it, what are you trying to do?" Ash looked at the map in his mind. The red dot changed direction again.
Every time he was about to find it, the red dot would change direction at an extremely fast speed, making the distance between it and Ash grow farther and farther.
Ash was so tired he wanted to curse, but there were too many people on the street, so he had to maintain his image. Otherwise, he would have already cursed Black's eighteen generations…
"Oh no!" A woman dressed in simple clothes was accidentally knocked to the ground by Ash.
"I'm sorry, are you okay?" Ash immediately reacted and reached out to help the woman up.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." The woman took Ash's hand and stood up, then patted her butt and smiled at Ash.
Ash took the opportunity to glance at her: a gray dress, about 1.64 meters tall, black long hair, fairly attractive, with breasts neither too big nor too small, maybe a B cup, looking pretty decent.
Ash didn't dwell on it, politely apologized, said a few more words, then bid farewell to the woman and continued chasing after the black figure.
The woman watched Ash's departing figure and muttered, "He's pretty handsome, a pity." She rolled her eyes, picked up her things, and continued on her way.
"Damn it, you dare to act so recklessly? Do you want to kill me?" Ash lost track of the black dot again and seeing the red dots in his mind made him furious. He even felt like the map was tricking him, trying to kill him.
Ash picked up a fruit nearby, threw some money and continued chasing the red dot. While eating the delicious fruit, he chased the constantly moving red dot, feeling like he wanted to curse.
An hour later,
Ash was chasing until his lungs were about to burst, but he still hadn't caught up to the dot. "F*ck you, I'm not chasing anymore. If you want to suffer, go ahead and suffer." Ash was so exhausted he sat down on the ground, refusing to continue. Let it be whatever it is.
"Hm?" At that moment, the red dot he was chasing also stopped moving… " Fuck. You're just playing with me. You bastard, you keep running when I'm chasing you, but when I stop chasing you, you just stop moving.
Fuck you, you bastard, you're trying to kill me. Fuck you!!" Seeing this, Ash exploded, cursing the black figure's entire family, including their ancestors.
Ash stood up, brushed the dust off his butt, and said, "If you don't move, I'll come find you. If you move again, I'll turn around and go to the hotel. Screw it, if you fail, you fail. Whatever happens, happens."
Ash took seven or eight turns and finally stood next to the red dot at a corner. Ash looked up.
"You bitch!!!!" Ash cursed loudly, "This dead-end alley."
"Are you the one who's been following us?" Just as Ash was about to curse again, a voice rang out from above him. Ash looked up and saw the woman and her two henchmen standing on a balcony, looking down at him. This reminded Ash of White from that day.
"That's right, it's me. Please hand over the perfume." Ash calmed himself down and said with a smile.
"Give it to you? Why should we?" Black's face curled into a faint smile as she looked at Ash. This expression was identical to White's, except for the color. Thinking of White, Ash felt uneasy.
"Since you won't give it to me, I'll have to take it by force." Ash's face lost its smile, and he coldly said, then threw out all his Pokémon.
"Ivysaur Razor leaf, Charmander Flamethrower, Raticate Quick Attack, Pidgeot Air slash, Miltank Headbutt, Cubone Bone Club." Ash shouted directly, and the Pokémon aimed all their moves at Black and the others.
Black and the others narrowed their eyes and immediately dodged. Although Black managed to avoid the attack, her two subordinates were hit and knocked down, landing beside Ash. Black grabbed onto the wall beside her, glaring at Ash with a savage smile.
"You're quite good."
"Haha, thank you for the compliment." Ash immediately switched to a harmless smile.
"You're welcome." Black directly threw out three Poké Balls, "Weezing uses sludge bomb, Gengar uses Shadow Ball, and Arbok uses Bite."
"Ivysaur, use Leech Seed to attack Arbok. Charmander, use Flamethrower on Weezing. By the way, Raticate also uses Hyper Fang on Weezing. Miltank uses Zen Headbutt on Gengar. Pidgeot, use Air Slash. Cubone, use Bone Club on Arbok." Ash calmly commanded.
"Right," Ash made a realization, "What is your relationship with White?" Ash looked up at women and asked.
"White? Do you know my sister?" Black looked at Ash and asked with a frown.
"Sisters," Ash's lips curled up slightly.
