—------------------—
The Team Rockets trio stood outside the Celadon Gym, looking up at this eerie building.
The lead man wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Damn, every time I come here, it feels creepy."
A tall, thin man beside him shrunk his neck: "Who says it isn't? That woman Sabrina, just one look at her makes you feel a chill in your bones."
"Shut up, you guys!" The last short, chubby member lowered his voice: "The mission is what matters! This time we must convince Gym Leader Sabrina to join Team Rockets. Boss Giovanni has given a strict order!"
The three took a deep breath and pushed open the Gym's main doors.
The light inside the Gym was dim, with only a few purple lamps glowing faintly in the corners.
At the end of the empty hall was a high seat.
Sabrina was sitting on it.
Her whole body was submerged in shadows, with only half of her face illuminated by the faint light.
But the trio's gaze was immediately drawn to the object in her hands.
It was a plush doll.
But it was no longer the doll that looked like an evil loli from before.
Instead, it was a doll of a man—a doll of Roy.
It was a chibi version, with a round face and smiling eyes, wearing Roy's usual clothes.
Sabrina held the doll with both hands, placing it against her chest.
She lowered her head, staring at the doll's face, a doting smile curling at the corners of her mouth.
"Roy~" she murmured softly, her voice light and gentle, "My Roy~"
Then she held the doll up to her face and nuzzled it.
"So cute~ Such a good boy~"
She gave it another kiss.
"Mua~"
The Team Rockets trio stood below, watching in stunned silence.
They looked at each other.
What's the situation?
This woman... what is she doing?
When they came before, this woman always had a cold face, her gaze so eerie it could freeze a person to death.
How come today...
She's even smiling?
And smiling so...
The lead man listened carefully to that laughter and suddenly felt a shiver.
That laughter sounded gentle, but it felt like something was wrong.
It was like... like a soft knife, slowly grinding against your heart.
"Ahem." He cleared his throat and took a step forward, "Gym Leader Sabrina."
Sabrina didn't react, continuing to fiddle with the doll in her hands.
"Gym Leader Sabrina!" He raised his voice.
Only then did Sabrina slowly lift her head and look down.
That gaze was extremely cold, like looking at three ants.
"What is it?"
The lead man swallowed hard and forced a smile: "Gym Leader Sabrina, we're from Team Rockets. We talked to you before about joining us..."
Sabrina arched an eyebrow and said nothing.
"We're here this time to confirm with you again." He quickly continued, "Boss Giovanni said that as long as you join, you'll be given an executive position directly! Excellent benefits! Use any resources you want! You can have whatever you desire!"
After hearing this, Sabrina looked down and continued to look at the doll in her arms.
"I'm not going."
Her voice was indifferent.
The three were stunned.
The smile on the lead man's face froze: "Wh-what?"
"I said, I'm not going." Sabrina didn't even look up. "I have something I want to do more now."
Something she wants to do more?
The three looked at each other in confusion.
When they came to talk before, although this woman didn't explicitly agree, she didn't refuse either!
They could even sense that she was quite interested in Team Rockets' plan to "conquer the world with Psychic powers."
Why today...
The tall, thin man got anxious and stepped forward: "Gym Leader Sabrina! Please reconsider! An executive position! There are only a few in all of Team Rockets! If you join, you'll be second only to one and above tens of thousands!"
Sabrina ignored him.
The short, chubby one also tried to persuade her: "Yes, Gym Leader Sabrina! You know the strength of our Team Rockets! With us, your Psychic powers can be utilized to the fullest! Conquer the world! Let everyone witness your greatness!"
Sabrina still didn't react.
She reached out and gently stroked the doll's hair.
The movement was as gentle as stroking a real person's head.
The lead man was sweating profusely from anxiety.
If they didn't complete the mission, Boss Giovanni would skin them alive when they got back!
Just as he was about to continue, the clever tall, thin man's eyes suddenly lit up.
He noticed the doll in Sabrina's hands.
He hadn't looked closely before, but looking at it now—this doll was a man?
And a man he hadn't seen before?
The tall, thin man's mind worked quickly, and he immediately found an opening.
He took a step forward, beaming: "Gym Leader Sabrina, the doll in your hands is so cute~ Is it newly made?"
Sabrina finally had a bit of a reaction.
She looked up, glanced at the tall, thin man, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly: "Mm, cute, right? He's my Roy~"
The tall, thin man was delighted; it was working!
He quickly followed up: "Roy? Is he a new friend of yours?"
Sabrina smiled even more happily: "He's my man~"
The tall, thin man nodded repeatedly: "Oh oh oh, I see, I see!"
His eyes darted around as he continued: "Gym Leader Sabrina, someone as powerful as you certainly deserves the best person. However..."
He paused, his tone becoming meaningful: "Gym Leader Sabrina, conquering the world and letting the whole world witness the greatness of your Psychic powers, that is true glory!"
"A person like you shouldn't let minor matters between men and women delay the bright future of exercising your abilities!"
Sabrina's smile faded slightly.
The tall, thin man didn't notice and continued: "Think about it, once you join our Team Rockets and conquer the world, what kind of man couldn't you have?"
"At that time, you can pick any man in the world as you please! Some Roy, some Koy..."
Before he could finish.
The tall, thin man suddenly felt his feet go soft.
He looked down, and his scalp instantly went numb!
The floor!
The floor had turned liquid! Like a swamp! His feet were sinking!
"Ah!!!" he screamed, desperately trying to pull himself out, but the more he struggled, the faster he sank!
The lead man and the chubby one beside him also panicked!
Because they were also sinking!
The trio's calves were already submerged. The liquid floor was like a living thing, tightly gripping their legs, tightening more and more!
"Sa-Sabrina Gym Leader!" The lead man looked up in terror.
He saw Sabrina stand up.
She stood before the high seat, looking down at them.
Those eyes were glowing with an eerie red light.
"What did you just say?"
Her voice was very light, but every word was like an Icicle Spear piercing into the trio's ears.
"Say it again?"
The tall, thin man was scared out of his wits: "I, I I I..."
"Saying my Roy is a minor matter?" Sabrina tilted her head, the red light in her eyes growing more intense.
She raised her hand and gave a light wave.
The three instantly sank deeper!
It was already up to their thighs!
The floor was like it had a life of its own, tightly constricting their waists, making it hard for them to breathe!
"I said I'm not going, do you not understand?"
Sabrina's voice echoed in the empty Gym, carrying the pressure of a queen.
The three felt like their heads were going to explode!
That pressure came not only from the floor's restraint but also from a mental crushing!
It was as if a great mountain was pressing directly onto their souls!
"We won't say it anymore, we won't say it!" The lead man shook his head frantically: "We were wrong! We'll never say it again!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Gym Leader Sabrina, spare our lives!" The chubby one also begged for mercy.
The tall, thin man was too scared to speak and could only nod desperately.
Sabrina looked at them, the red light in her eyes slowly fading.
"Get out."
She softly uttered a single word.
The next second, the three felt their bodies lighten.
Then, the three were directly teleported, passing through countless walls and thrown out of the Gym, landing heavily on the green belt outside!
They lay on the ground, covered in dirt, in a wretched state.
But at this moment, no one cared about that.
They struggled to their feet and ran away without looking back!
After running a long way, the lead man finally looked back toward the Celadon Gym, his legs still shaking.
"Damn... that woman... that woman is crazy!"
The tall, thin man's face was pale: "The way she looked at me just now, she really wanted to kill me!"
The chubby one panted: "In the future, I wouldn't come back to this dump even if you killed me!"
The three scrambled away and soon disappeared at the end of the street.
Inside the Celadon Gym.
Sabrina sat back in her seat.
She picked up the doll again, and the expression on her face instantly became gentle.
"Roy~" she called softly, tapping the doll's nose with her finger: "I drove away the bad guys~"
She held the doll in her arms, rocking it gently like she was soothing a child.
"They actually said you were a minor matter~ they really have no eyes~"
"You're not a minor matter~ You're my most important person~"
Sabrina lowered her head and pressed a kiss onto the doll's forehead.
"Next time we meet, you have to reward me~"
Her finger slid down the doll's cheek, past the chest, down to the stomach, and finally stopped at a special spot.
She gave it a light tap.
"Here~ you have to reward me~"
Sabrina smiled, her smile full of obsession and anticipation.
She hugged the doll tightly again, curled up in the large seat, and closed her eyes.
"Roy~ My Roy~"
...
At the same time.
In a certain forest far from Saffron City.
Roy was standing in a clearing, directing Pikachu and Wartortle to use combination techniques to fight.
Wild Pokemon were collapsed all over the ground around them.
Misty and Delia were also practicing combat nearby.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt! The one on the left!"
"Pi~"
Pikachu shot a bolt of electricity, accurately hitting a wild Spearow that was preparing to ambush.
Ivysaur cried out and fell to the ground unconscious.
"Wartortle, Water Gun! Those two on the right!"
"Mi~"
Wartortle opened its mouth and sprayed a jet of water, knocking two wild Dodrio into disarray.
The two Dodrio struggled to get up but eventually fell.
Roy glanced over the battlefield and nodded with satisfaction.
"Alright, let's call it a day."
He took out a poké ball and recalled Wartortle to rest.
Then he stood in place and stretched his body.
Suddenly.
He felt a tightening in his crotch.
A strange sensation came from there.
Roy was stunned for a moment and looked down at himself.
"Huh?"
"What's going on?" he muttered in confusion, "Why did my underwear suddenly become so tight?"
He moved his body again and felt it.
That feeling vanished again.
Like an illusion.
"Could I have grown again?" Roy rubbed his chin: "I haven't eaten any supplements lately..."
Misty walked over from the side: "What's wrong?"
Roy shook his head: "Nothing, nothing, probably just an illusion."
Delia also walked over: "Are you tired? Want to rest for a bit before continuing?"
Roy nodded and found a rock to sit on.
He leaned against the rock and closed his eyes to rest.
But in his heart, he was still thinking about that strange sensation from earlier.
That feeling... it was really strange.
Roy shook his head, tossing the strange thought out of his mind.
It must be an illusion.
He took a deep breath and began to take stock of today's gains.
...
Viridian City, Team Rockets Headquarters.
Giovanni's office was filled with smoke.
He sat in a large leather executive chair, a high-end cigar between his fingers, while his other hand occasionally stroked the Persian lying on his lap.
The Persian purred comfortably.
There was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
The door opened, and a figure walked in.
It was Matori.
Team Rockets' chief secretary, Giovanni's right-hand woman.
She was wearing a dark blue business suit, the pencil skirt tightly hugging her rounded hips, outlining an alluring curve.
The hem of the skirt barely covered the middle of her thighs, and below that were long, slender legs wrapped in black stockings.
Those black-stockinged legs shimmered slightly in the dim office light, every step swaying gracefully.
She wore black stiletto heels, which made a crisp "da-da" sound as they clicked against the floor.
The buttons of her jacket were opened a bit low, revealing a corner of her white shirt inside and a faintly discernible cleavage.
Matori walked to Giovanni's desk and stood still.
"Boss."
Her voice was crisp, with the efficiency characteristic of a professional woman.
Giovanni looked up, glanced at her, and exhaled a puff of smoke: "What is it?"
Matori's expression was somewhat solemn: "The recruitment plan in Saffron City has failed."
Giovanni's movement of smoking paused.
He arched an eyebrow, an expression of surprise appearing on his face: "Failed? Didn't the previous progress reports say it was close to success?"
Matori nodded, opened the folder in her hand, and began to report the specific situation.
"Yes, Boss. The messages sent back by the three members responsible for contacting Sabrina had always been 'hopeful,' 'under consideration,' and 'attitude vague but not refused'."
"But this time, Sabrina explicitly refused."
Giovanni frowned and flicked his cigar into the ashtray: "What happened? Tell me the details."
Matori glanced at the information in her hand: "According to the descriptions of those three members, Sabrina's psychological state is very difficult to fathom and constantly changing."
"Previously, she did indeed show interest in the proposal to join Team Rockets, use Psychic powers to conquer the world, and have everyone recognize her abilities."
"But this time, her attitude took a 180-degree turn."
Giovanni's finger tapped lightly on the armrest of his chair: "What caused it?"
Matori shook her head: "The specific reason is unknown. The three members said that when they went in, Sabrina was playing with a plush doll."
"A plush doll?" Giovanni was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, a doll of a man." Matori's expression was also a bit strange. "The three members tried to persuade her, but it ended up infuriating her."
"She directly used her Psychic powers to sink the three members into the floor, nearly burying them alive."
Giovanni's gaze became serious: "Sabrina's Psychic powers..."
"Yes, Boss." Matori closed the folder. "According to the description of the three members, Sabrina's Psychic powers are stronger than before. They couldn't even generate the thought of resisting; they were completely crushed."
"And Sabrina clearly stated that she will no longer consider joining Team Rockets because she has 'something she wants to do more'."
Giovanni fell silent.
He took a puff of his cigar and slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke.
The smoke diffused in the air and slowly dissipated.
Just like Team Rockets' plan in Saffron City.
