Blood

AN: I accidentally released chapters the other day, this should have been posted first before the one I posted previously.

…

"You know nothing will change if you continue being stubborn," Floyd said, looking up at Gyarados.

ROAR (Who are you to lecture me, you weak, puny human!)

Gyarados, enraged by his words, rushed at him.

BANG!

Blastoise countered Gyarados with a Hydro Pump.

ROAR (You ugly blue turtle shell! You've really angered me!)

Gyarados charged at Blastoise, using Crunch.

Blastoise, feeling insulted by Gyarados's words, quickly pretended to use his shell to defend against Gyarados's attack. However, Gyarados was taken aback when, just as he was about to bite Blastoise, the latter struck him with a Fake Out move.

Pak!

Gyarados felt slightly dizzy, and as his head cleared, he saw a surge of water hurtling toward him.

Bang!

Gyarados was hit by another Hydro Pump and smashed to the ground.

Water splashed all around, causing many Wartortles and Squirtles to step back. Kanraku had activated his Aquavolt Turner, absorbing the kinetic energy of the water and converting it into electricity.

Gyarados gasped for breath, panting on the ground.

The young Gyarados felt numb watching his father being defeated again. This blue turtle was absolutely monstrous, he thought, eyeing Blastoise warily. He didn't dare provoke Blastoise, deciding it was better to behave.

"How about it, do you understand your position now? Let go of your stubbornness; there's nothing you can do here," Floyd stated.

Gyarados felt infuriated by Floyd's words. He desperately wanted to tear him apart but knew he couldn't defeat Blastoise. He felt utterly helpless.

ROAR (For you weak humans! NEVER!)

He would never succumb to weak humans; it would be a disgrace.

"Stubborn, you're really stubborn," Floyd remarked, shaking his head as he walked away. "Then continue what you're doing. Be as stubborn as ever, and you will forever remain imprisoned here,"

ROAR (What do you mean?)

Floyd halted his pace and looked back at him. "No wonder, just as I thought. You really don't understand your position right now. You and your son dared to invade this village, so you must be prepared for the consequences of your failure," Floyd said, pausing as he looked at Gyarados. "Or perhaps not. With your limited intellect, I guess you weren't prepared. You might have been arrogant, thinking you could attack here and do whatever you wanted."

"Now that you have been defeated by us, it means you are our prisoners. We control your lives; you've lost your freedom. We can do anything we want with you. This is the consequence of being defeated. I hope you understand now, specifically your position," Floyd added and then walked away.

Gyarados and the young Gyarados felt a sinking realization as they pondered this. Floyd was right; since they dared to attack, they must face the consequences of their failure. They hadn't considered this, complacent in the belief they could beat anyone. Now, they had become prisoners.

…

A few moments earlier,

"Yuuki-kun, is that guy the Gaijin?" one of the children tapped Yuuki on his right.

"Of course, I've already seen him," Yuuki replied excitedly.

Then the fight between Gyarados and Blastoise began.

"P-Professor, th-that beast is going to attack. We must get away," the kid with glasses, frightened, shouted at Kanraku while carrying his little sister on his back.

"Don't worry about it. They're going to be fine," Kanraku reassured, along with his disciples. They seemed unconcerned about the ongoing event, focusing instead on activating the Aquavolt Turner.

When a little water came towards them, the kid with glasses quickly hugged his little sister to protect her. He suddenly regretted following Yuuki.

The other children, also frightened, stepped back, covering their heads with their arms. However, a few moments later, nothing happened.

They observed a machine with nine turbine blades starting to spin, absorbing the water.

"The results are finished, but they're confusing. The type, how come..." Kanraku suddenly stood up, bewildered by the results he had gathered.

"Water and Air? That means this creature is..." Yamada also looked at the results and was surprised.

"There are a few other spots of different colors, but they're already irrelevant. It's surprising that the results turned out like this," Inoue expressed, perplexed.

"Could there be an error?" Yamada asked, his expression filled with uncertainty.

"Impossible. If there's an error, does it mean the other types we experimented with were also errors? Mistakes, especially with the Water Type, are unlikely," Nakamura responded, though he still sounded unsure.

"Do it again," Kanraku instructed.

"Huh?" Everyone looked at him, puzzled.

"To be certain, let's repeat the process," Kanraku said, restarting his research from the beginning. He took out a pouch bag containing the blood of Gyarados.

"You guys took other blood samples from Gyarados. I think it's better to get a fresh one to be sure," Kanraku suggested to them.

"Huh, this... Professor, that creature is scary. We didn't dare to get close to it," Aizawa shook her head, rejecting Kanraku's idea.

"What's happening here?" They then heard a voice approaching; it was Floyd.

"Oh, perfect timing, Floyd. There's something I need to ask you. Could you help me obtain a blood sample from them?" Kanraku pointed at Gyarados.

"Is that all? Fine, leave the rest to me," Floyd nodded, patting his chest.

Kanraku's disciples sighed in relief after hearing this. They thought it was much better to leave it to Floyd.

"By the way, any progress on the results?" Floyd asked Aizawa.

Feeling Floyd's gaze, Aizawa blushed, looked away, then handed him the paper.

"Eh," Floyd said, looking at the paper and taking it. A few moments later, he remarked, "Water and Air? Is this your result for Gyarados' type?"

"Yeah, there might be an error, so we need to redo it to be sure. That's why I'm asking you to get a new blood sample from them," Kanraku nodded, explaining.

Floyd's lips curled into a smile; he thought these guys might not believe that Gyarados was a Water and Flying type. "I see. Don't worry about it; I'll handle it," he said, then headed back to the Gyarados.

Yuuki followed him.

"You kid, what are you doing? It's dangerous," Nakamura warned Yuuki.

"Yuuki-kun!" Yuuki's friends shouted after him, but Yuuki never looked back, still continuing to follow Floyd.

"It's this guy again?" Kanraku, observing the monitor, heard the commotion and saw Yuuki following Floyd.

"Yamada-san, follow him," Kanraku instructed.

"Eh, Professor, I'm busy. Let Nakamura do it," Yamada said, finding it troublesome and passing the task to Nakamura.

"Eh, me?" Nakamura was taken aback, then turned to Inoue.

"Can't you see I'm busier than you?" Inoue retorted.

"Aizawa-san, come with me," Nakamura called out.

"Eh, w-why?" Aizawa hesitated, embarrassed about going with Floyd, but Nakamura pushed her.

"Do you really want me to go alone? If I die, it's better to have company. Besides, you're the one who isn't busy here," Nakamura insisted as he continued to urge her.

On the other side, Floyd looked back, noticing Yuuki following him. "Kid, it's dangerous here, go back," he said.

"Gaijin onii-san, I don't understand you. Can you speak Japanese?" Yuuki was confused by Floyd's words and spoke in his native language.

Floyd realized they didn't understand each other, so he continued walking, ignoring Yuuki. He remained confident that he could protect this daring kid if danger arose.

The two Gyarados saw Floyd approaching and became alert.
