Chapter 1023: Sisters Become Enemies
Chapter 1023: Sisters Become Enemies
On Julian’s side, he watched in utter astonishment, while on Roserade’s side, it was so angry that it began to tremble slightly, watching its own sister being deceived by a manipulative b*tch and handing over two hundred pounds of Royal Combee Honey.
Usually, it had to bargain for ages just to get a few pounds from Vespiquen, but now, without a second thought, it had given Milotic two hundred pounds. The difference was just too stark.
"Sister, do you need anything else?" Vespiquen asked with a smile.
"You might as well give the entire hive to it at this point—she’d definitely want it anyway," Roserade said sarcastically.
Perhaps due to their respective strengths, or maybe because it naturally possessed enough charm, Roserade remained unaffected by Milotic's influence.
"Sister Roserade, how can you say that about me? It seems you have quite a big misunderstanding about me," Milotic said softly, looking aggrieved.
Seeing this, Roserade grew even angrier: "I’m already being polite by even speaking to you like this. If I weren’t, I’d have already attacked."
Hearing this, Milotic put on a frightened look and said tremblingly, "Sister Roserade is so scary, not at all as kind as Sister Vespiquen."
Julian: 'Manipulation Jutsu, Btch-talk!'*
He had no idea when Milotic had developed such skills. Ever since he had captured it, hadn’t it just been staying in the backyard as a pet?
Could this "Jutsu" be an innate ability it was born with?
"Roserade, rein in your temper. You’re scaring Sister Milotic," Vespiquen said coldly to Roserade. Then, its expression shifted as it turned to Milotic with a smile. "Sister Milotic, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, Roserade won’t lay a hand on you."
"Mm, I knew Sister Vespiquen is the best to me," Milotic nodded, looking at the Vespiquen with eyes full of admiration.
Crack, crack.
Roserade was so angry its teeth were almost grinding to pieces, and the ground beneath it began to fracture under the pressure of its aura.
Roserade was Level 87, while Milotic was Level 90.
And yet, Milotic still wore a frightened expression.
Vespiquen stepped in front of Roserade, blocking its path. "What are you doing? Can’t you see you are scaring Sister Milotic?"
"I want to slap it," Roserade said through clenched teeth.
"Sister Vespiquen, I’m so scared," Milotic hid behind Vespiquen, its soft, tender voice making Vespiquen’s protective instincts surge even more.
"Move aside, or I’ll hit you too," Roserade threatened.
Roserade was really about to explode from anger at Milotic, and it was equally furious at Vespiquen's foolishness for being so utterly bewitched by someone of the same gender. It felt like being driven to the brink of madness.
"Sister Roserade, if I’ve done something wrong, then just hit me. Please don’t be angry with Sister Vespiquen and hurt the bond between you two."
"Roserade, don’t go too far. What has Milotic done wrong for you to target it like this?" Vespiquen shouted angrily, unleashing its aura.
Though weaker than Roserade, this clearly showed its stance.
A fight was about to break out. Things were really heating up.
Julian felt inexplicably excited and pulled out a bag of melon seeds from his system space.
"Sister Vespiquen, don’t be angry with Sister Roserade. It must be something I did that upset her. I’ll just apologize."
As Milotic spoke, it looked extremely aggrieved, tears almost welling up in its eyes.
"B*tch!"
Roserade snapped and directly attacked using Magical Leaf.
Since Magical Leaf had homing capabilities, even with Vespiquen shielding Milotic, the attack was still able to strike its target.
BOOM!
The Magical Leaf hit Milotic, who didn't even attempt to defend itself, and was sent flying dozens of meters away.
"Oww..."
Milotic lay on the ground, wearing a pained expression.
"Roserade, what are you doing?!"
Vespiquen was stunned, never expecting Roserade to actually attack.
It immediately flew over to Milotic, who lay on the ground. Seeing the injuries left by the Magical Leaf on Milotic’s beautiful form—like a flaw in a perfect piece of jade—Vespiquen’s heart ached. "Are you okay? Does it hurt?"
"It doesn’t hurt, not at all. Sister Vespiquen, don’t blame Sister Roserade. she surely didn’t mean it."
Even now, Milotic was still defending Roserade. Vespiquen felt deeply moved, but the more Milotic acted this way, the more it believed Roserade had gone too far.
'Too much, this is too much.'
Julian also thought this was going too far—though for him, it was Milotic who had gone too far. It was practically inciting a fight between the two sisters.
"Roserade, look at what you’ve done. Apologize to Milotic right now!"
Vespiquen flew up to Roserade, its face filled with anger. If not for their sisterly bond, it would have already taken a swing at Roserade to vent Milotic’s grievances.
"Can’t you see it’s faking it? My attack didn’t even do much damage to it—its strength far surpasses mine!"
Roserade was so furious that it was trembling with cold fury. Was Vespiquen’s vision impaired or something?
Its full-power Magical Leaf had only managed to scrape a bit of Milotic’s skin. Forget strength—even just that level of defense was already impressive.
"If it’s stronger than you, how could it end up hurt like this? Roserade, you’ve really disappointed me. Sister Milotic is so understanding, and yet you treat her this way."
Vespiquen looked at Roserade, its expression filled with disappointment at its "unrepentant" behavior.
"Go apologize to Sister Milotic right now."
"Apologize to that b*tch? Don’t even think about it!"
Roserade outright refused. An apology was out of the question—the fact that it hadn’t launched a second attack was already being generous.
"Sister Vespiquen, I’m fine. If Sister Roserade still needs to vent, she can keep hitting me. I can endure it."
"You see how thoughtful Sister Milotic is—"
"Shut up!"
Before Vespiquen could finish, Roserade charged toward Milotic, surrounded by a swirling mass of sharp leaves.
It was Razor Leaf.
But this time, the Razor Leaf was intercepted by Vespiquen.
"Roserade, you’ve gone too far!"
"That b*tch is going down today, even if I have to defeat you first to get to it!"
Roserade felt Vespiquen was beyond saving. If it was so determined to protect Milotic, then it’d just have to take Vespiquen down first before settling the score with Milotic.
"As long as I’m here, you won’t lay a hand on Sister Milotic a second time!"
Though weaker than Roserade, Vespiquen’s determination to protect Milotic unexpectedly unleased strength far beyond its usual level.
A classic case of "powering up through sheer will."
Watching the two Pokémon actually start fighting because of Milotic’s masterful manipulation, Julian’s melon-eating speed noticeably increased.
"Stop fighting! Please, don’t fight!"
Milotic cried out anxiously from the sidelines.
"Sister Vespiquen, Sister Roserade, this is all my fault. Please stop fighting!"
To Roserade, Milotic’s words were like adding fuel to the fire. But to Vespiquen, they were an endless source of motivation to protect it.
The intensity of the battle immediately escalated even further.
"Alright, stop talking. If you kept this up, one of them would probably end up dead," Julian said as he came to Milotic’s side.
"How could that be? I just don’t want them to hurt each other. Is that wrong?"
