Chapter 54 Azure is discovered by a lone henchman
Let's rewind a little, to when we were halfway through a hot air balloon ride in Natsuno, in the Evergreen Forest.
Azure was hiding in a tree near the base entrance, watching Team Rocket's minions come and go, carrying things.
She took out her phone and found that Xia Ye still hadn't replied to her message, which made Bi Lan a little annoyed.
"Looks like these guys are going to empty out and abandon this base, so that guy probably wasn't even in there?"
"You deliberately tricked me into coming here to feed the mosquitoes, didn't you? That's outrageous!"
Bilan slapped the mosquito off her arm and tried to leave, but there were people everywhere below, so she didn't dare to move.
Half an hour later, after confirming that all the henchmen had evacuated, Azure returned to the ground.
I tentatively walked into the base, and as expected, it was empty.
She walked down the corridor, looking through each room with a relaxed expression, as if she were strolling through a shopping mall.
As I passed a corner, I bumped into a lone henchman.
In a critical moment, Bilan's little mind worked quickly, and with a flick of her little hand, she could speak fluently.
"Got you! The officer said someone was missing and told me to come back and look for them, and sure enough, there was one!"
"Tell me, kid, were you hiding here slacking off and not helping to move the supplies at all?"
Azure's appearance startled the henchmen, who stammered and looked extremely flustered.
"I... I just suddenly had a stomachache and went to the toilet. I helped out, so don't make things up."
Seeing that her attack was effective, Azure pressed her advantage and revealed a contemptuous smile.
"Explaining to me is useless. Go explain to the official! Hopefully, he'll believe you."
Seeing the henchmen begin to panic, Azure changed the subject.
"However, luckily I discovered it early, so there's still a chance."
"If you show me some kindness, I'll point you in the right direction, and I guarantee you won't be punished; instead, you'll be praised. How about it?"
Seeing that there was a chance to turn things around, the henchmen fell for the trick and started rummaging through their pockets.
He took out a box of energy cubes and handed it to Azure.
"Sir, I've spent all my money on energy cubes. Please, have mercy and save me."
Azure took the box, shook it, frowned at first, and finally nodded reluctantly.
"Fine, it's not easy for the organization to recruit even one person. Listen to me carefully."
"In the room in the Gobi Desert, there are spare supplies hidden under the floor at the far end. Go and dig them out."
"I'll first tell the cadres that you're working hard to dig, and then you'll return in a sorry state with the supplies."
"At that point, the officials will only praise you, and might even promote you, instead of criticizing you, understand?"
The henchman's expression changed from worry to great joy as he walked toward the room that Azure had pointed to.
She didn't forget to turn back and bow to Azure: "Thank you for saving me. I'll definitely repay you later!"
Just as Bilan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw the other person turn around and quickly turned back to wave, "Go on, I'll be waiting for your good news!"
Seeing the henchmen heading into the room, Azure turned and ran with all her might.
Even as he ran to the entrance, he didn't forget to take out his phone and send a voice message to Xia Ye.
"You bastard, help! I've been discovered by these henchmen in this base, and they're going to kill me to silence me!"
Unfortunately, Natsuno was on a hot air balloon at that moment, surrounded by men, and dared not look at the message.
The henchmen, who had been tricked, entered the room, still grateful to Azure for saving them.
I suddenly realized that I had forgotten to ask my benefactor's name, and I don't know how to repay him in the future.
Turning to leave, I heard footsteps fading into the distance; my "benefactor" had already vanished.
He belatedly realized that he had been deceived.
"Where are you running off to, you little brat! Get back here right now!"
He cursed angrily as he chased after Azure.
Azure put away her phone and released Jigglypuff: "Jigglypuff, inhale and expand!"
Jigglypuff quickly opened its mouth wide, inhaling air continuously, and its body began to swell.
Jigglypuff is classified as a Balloon Pokémon, whose body can continuously inflate by inhaling air, transforming itself into a balloon.
When the henchmen reached the entrance, they saw Fatty, who had swelled up into a balloon and was floating in the air.
Azure reached out and grabbed Jigglypuff's two feet, and then it flew up with him.
Along the way, he didn't forget to turn back and say goodbye to his henchmen with one hand.
"Goodbye, I'm going to tell your superiors that you were just slacking off!"
Seeing the exasperated look on the henchmen below, Azure turned around and pointed out the direction to Fatty.
But soon, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came from behind, gradually approaching.
Azure turned around, startled!
The henchman was grabbing a giant beaked bat by the foot and chasing after Azure.
The average height of a Zubat is 1.6 meters, so carrying a person in flight is a piece of cake.
The problem is that Jigglypuff doesn't fly with wings, so it can't effectively speed up its escape.
The distance between the two was gradually closing, and Azure began frantically thinking about what to do.
As they drew closer, the henchmen issued the order to attack.
"Zoubat, use Air Blade!"
Energy condensed, and with a flap of wings, several streaks of air transformed into sharp blades that flew towards Jigglypuff, accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart!
Azure grabbed Jigglypuff's left foot with both hands and sank her body down with force.
It dragged Jigglypuff's body down a distance, narrowly avoiding the attack.
Techniques like enchanting voices and singing require speaking to guide energy.
Because Jigglypuff needs to keep its mouth closed to prevent air from leaking out, Azur Lane finds itself unable to retaliate.
Flying in the air will get you attacked, and you're not even as fast as your opponent.
Azure realized that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to her, and decided to abandon flying.
"Fat Ding Ding, turn around and deflate!"
While giving the instructions, he also gripped Fatty's feet tightly to help Fatty turn around.
When the henchmen saw this action, they thought Azure was about to launch an attack.
"Goobbat, the enemy is about to attack! Be careful and dodge!"
Unfortunately, things didn't go as he expected.
After turning around to face the henchman, Fatty pursed his lips into a circle.
"Hiss~" The gas inside Jigglypuff's body began to spew out from its mouth.
As its body began to shrink, it also sped away from the minions under the force of the thrust.
This time, Azure learned her lesson and dared not mock anymore. Instead, she stared at her opponent, watching for her next move.
The henchman realized it wasn't what he expected and quickly gave the order.
"Goblin, go after them! Don't let the target get away!"
Meanwhile, as the gas inside Jigglypuff's body gradually decreased, Azure's altitude continued to drop.
After descending to a safe altitude, Azure landed quickly, not forgetting to take out a Poké Ball to put Jigglypuff away.
With pursuers right behind her, Azure didn't have time to tell which way was which, so she just picked a direction and ran.
A minute later, the minions also landed where Azure had landed.
Seeing the trail left by the blue-clad figure on the ground, the henchmen quickly gave chase.
Suddenly, a pair of small eyes appeared on the treetop, staring in the direction the two had left. With a swift movement, the eyes followed them.
At this point, the sky began to darken, and visibility in the forest was rapidly decreasing.
Azure was extremely anxious. Even though she came from a secret organization, her physical strength was rapidly depleting under such intense conditions.
Seeing a faint glimmer of light coming from a certain direction, Azure quickly turned around.
As the light grew brighter, Bilan felt her legs getting heavier and heavier, making it difficult for her to move.
Then a campfire appeared before them, along with a boy in a red hat and a bunch of Pichus around him.
Azure even saw a light-colored Pikachu and was so tired that she hallucinated.
The footsteps behind her didn't stop. Azure fell to the ground and immediately cried for help.
"Help! Someone's trying to steal my Pokémon!"
