Chapter Twenty-Three: Cornered
Not...... Am I dead?
Pain and pain...... It hurts so much, it's definitely not in heaven......
Satsuki barely opened her eyes and found herself lying on a simple bed made of hay, surrounded by a mess of electronic devices......
Several electronic screens are lit up, playing some content......
But these devices all have one thing in common, they all have the logo of Team Rocket on them.
Yarn ...... Am I in Team Rocket's lair?
Xiaoyue suddenly felt that there was no hope in life, and the life of the salted fish became ...... Uh, the life of a scorched salted fish?
…… Damn, who will save poor Xiaoyue!
Satsuki supported herself to sit up slowly, but even this action made her nerves suffer a huge impact......
Pain Pain Pain Pain Pain ...... There is a burning sensation all over the body...... Satsuki's tears are about to come out.
Xiao Yue looked at herself slightly...... The original clothes did not seem to have been touched, but the head and hands were bandaged.
Hackron's Poké Ball was still hanging from his waist, but it looked like it was sleeping.
Hey, am I like a bandage freak right now? Satsuki couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
She tried to get up from the grass bed.
When she stood up against the stone wall on the side, she saw this...... A complete view of the cave.
The place where Satsuki stood was a cave paved with hay, and it was warm and comfortable.
The sky not far from the cave was hollow, and a large amount of sunlight just shone on Satsuki.
There were some plants on both sides of the cave, and the center of gravity on them fell to the ground at once.
It doesn't hurt much...... However, Xiao Yue has always felt a strong tiredness coming to her.
Not...... Can't stop. Satsuki thought that she felt full of fruits of various colors and shapes.
You can see a touch of green at the entrance to the cave in the distance, so it must be a forest, right?
In short, this should still be somewhere on the island of Merlot.
As soon as Satsuki tried to lift her feet out of the grass bed, she lost her body worse than ever.
She dragged her body with her only commanding arm towards the hole in the distance.
Some sharp gravel cut through Satsuki's shirt, leaving scarlet scratches on her snow-white and smooth skin.
But Satsuki didn't care, she had only one goal in her eyes - to climb to the entrance of the cave.
As she watched the hole get closer and closer, the staccato sound reached her ears.
"Hey, it's been three hours, and you're still not decided? Musashi! A young man's voice sounded impatient.
"What's the noise, Kojiro! If we take her to the hospital, we're bound to get in trouble...... The task of the organization will ......" the young woman's voice sounded impatient but hesitant.
"Well, you just look at that girl......" Kojiro's voice rang out immediately afterward.
"Don't talk about it, let me contact the headquarters and let them decide ......"
Musashi didn't finish his words this time when he was interrupted by Kojiro: "Musashi! You should also know what kind of virtue it is to organize that group of people! ”
"But in case Kukui notices them......"
"You ......" Kojiro's eyes twitched.
"I ......" Musashi seemed to want to say something to cover up her weakness.
"Uh......" Satsuki, who was close to the entrance of the cave, saw the conversation between the two of them and wanted to say something, but could only make a faint sound from his throat.
"Ouch, I'm going to meow! She woke up and meowed! Meow on the side was taken aback.
"Hello? You okay? Musashi ran to Satsuki's side, and although she had a "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you" expression, the concern in the corners of her eyes betrayed her.
That's great! Team Rocket hasn't gone yet! Satsuki's heart hanging in the air finally let go.
Deep down, she still felt that the Rocket team in front of her was not essentially three bad guys.
"Save ...... Save" Xiao Yue fainted before she finished speaking.
"......" Kojiro looked at Musashi with an inquiring look in his eyes.
"What are you doing?" Musashi patted him on the head.
"Huh?"
"Let's take her to the hospital."
"Then the things of the organization ......"
"Don't worry about the future, if you don't go now, this little ghost may be in danger of life." Musashi said with a serious expression.
In fact, the three members of Team Rocket did not live up to Satsuki's trust.
————————————
"Thank you for sending this girl over in time...... a nurse bowed to the three in front of her.
In the ward, a nurse looked at the strange trio in front of her with admiration in her eyes and said sincerely.
Not long ago, she was on duty when she heard that a strange trio had broken into the hospital, saying that there was a seriously ill patient.
With curiosity, when she followed the attending doctor to take over the treatment, she really realized the seriousness of the matter.
The girl they sent had varying degrees of burning all over her body, and she couldn't wake up with a high fever all the time (of course, the most serious thing was the one on her head......
After several hours of resuscitation, the girl's condition gradually improved, and the painful look on her face gradually disappeared.
"Her situation just now can be said to be very dangerous, if it is a little later...... The consequences are unimaginable. ”
The nurse said, secretly looking at the trio in front of her, to be honest, she still appreciated the behavior of the three of them in time, but the three of them were really dressed strangely.
One of the little men, dressed tightly in a coat that had been dragged to the floor, was tightly wrapped, and liked to say "meow" at the end of his speech.
There was also a man with a cap and scarf, and an exaggerated fake mustache.
A tall woman wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a flaming red coat.
In short, the more you look at it, the more suspicious it becomes, and it looks like it's of unknown origin.
The trio in front of the nurse is naturally Team Rocket.
"Ah...... It's okay......" Musashi said with a strong smile as he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, if it's okay, we'll slip away......" Kojiro said as he pulled Musashi along.
The trio gave each other a look, and they ran out the door at the same time.
However, the mutation protrudes.
"Don't think about running, Team Rocket!" A man's shout suddenly sounded from the door.
The three of them in Team Rocket were agitated, and instead of stopping, they accelerated and ran.
"Rock Dog, use [Rock Blockade]!"
"Boom!" Huge rocks fell out of thin air, sealing the Rockets' retreat back and forth.
"Damn it!" Kojiro pulled off the cap hard.
"I've been investigating your tracks for a long time...... I didn't expect you to come from the net. Kukui and Hala appeared in the doorway, their eyes filled with doubt.
One is that he and Xiaoyue suddenly lost contact...... The other is because of the strange behavior of Team Rocket.
Ever since they were caught stealing information while on vacation, they've been in hiding. Kukui thought they wouldn't be there for a while, but he didn't expect to be here again.
As soon as he received the news of Team Rocket's appearance, he immediately rushed over, so there was the scene just now.
Kukuy's brow furrowed, not figuring out the joints.
Why did an organization that had been dormant for months suddenly appear here?
But naturally he didn't connect the two things.
