章 29: Escape
Hello, it's been a while, hasn't it?
Well, here's another chapter, primarily out of consideration for the collectors and supporters. I've been working hard lately, and by the time I get home, I'm quite exhausted, not really in the mood to write. But I don't want to let this fade away that easily.
Thank you for your support, and see you next time!

Within the castle of the Kingdom of Goa, cold marble hallways stretch out in every direction. Golden chandeliers sparkle, displaying the kingdom's wealth.
Armed guards vigilantly patrol every nook and cranny. The sound of heavy boots echoes. Commanders organize defenses, giving out shrill orders. However, a figure, Satoru, moves forward fearlessly; his steps are light and nearly inaudible.
With a faint smile, he raises an ancient coin. With the Henshin Henshin no mi, he turns it into a Meowth. "Help me locate the king," he orders.
Meowth, sniffing and listening, moves swiftly, guiding Satoru. At every turn, a guard or commander presents himself, ready to halt the advance. Satoru, with skill, dodges, neutralizes, or simply overlooks, pressing forward.
Satoru, moving with precision, progresses through the main hallway. The palace's lavish décor reveals a path: a giant door adorned with jewels. He knows the king is there.
As they approach, the number of guards surrounding them increases.
A solid barrier of soldiers blocks the path. Satoru looks at them mockingly, "Is that all?"
"Attack now!" The commander orders, pointing directly at Satoru.
Confidently, Satoru creates from a small stone, a Sandshrew, ready to attack. The Pokémon lunges forward, knocking down guards, creating an opening. A guard attacks Satoru from behind, but is quickly repelled by Satoru's strike.
Suddenly, an arrow flies towards him. Satoru dodges, noticing the archers lurking in the shadows. His mocking gaze meets the commander's, who challenges him. The commander shouts, "You shall not pass!"
With a gesture, Satoru turns a nearby vase into a Spearow. The Pokémon takes flight, distracting the archers and allowing Satoru to proceed.
He swiftly moves his hands, turning two nearby ornaments into two muscular Machamps. They rush forward, knocking down guards and clearing the way.
Entering the throne room, Satoru faces the king, who sits majestically, surrounded by his counselors and elite guards.
The king, dressed in crimson robes, stares at Satoru with defiant eyes.
Satoru smiles, "Good evening, Your Majesty."
"Who are you to dare enter my castle and challenge my kingdom?" The king asks, his voice echoing in the hall.
Satoru replies with a sarcastic smile, "Just a visitor interested in your treasures, Majesty." His remark causes the guards to draw their weapons.
One of the commanders, a sturdy man with a scar on his face, steps forward, roaring.
"You'll pay dearly for your insolence!" Charging towards Satoru.
Quickly, Satoru turns a nearby vase into another Sandshrew. The Pokémon, immediately recognizing its master, lunges at the commander, distracting him and causing him to stumble.
"I expected more from the king's commander," Satoru mocks, while skillfully dodging subsequent attacks from other guards. Each of his movements is a martial arts dance, every strike accurate.
Satoru, always one step ahead, turns other items around into Pokémon - a Meowth from a tapestry, a Rattata from a sculpture. The Pokémon assault the guards, causing chaos in the hall.
However, the sheer number of guards begins to pressure Satoru. He is forced to retreat, but not without first creating more Pokémon to defend him and assault the foes.
With an opening, Satoru glimpses the King again. And with a nimble move, he lunges at the King, putting a dagger to his throat and holding him hostage.
"Everyone step back, or your King won't see the light of day again," Satoru taunts, lightly pressing a dagger against the King's neck. The commanders hesitate, but fear in their eyes is evident.
As the commanders back off, shocked by Satoru's audacity.
"You wouldn't want anything to happen to your beloved king, would you?" A glint of determination appears in his eyes.
The king's guards, taken aback and hesitant, assess the situation. The commander, with a determined expression, advances, "Release our king, pirate!"
Satoru smirks mockingly,
"He's my shield now. But don't worry, I'll return him after I finish my business here."
As he proceeds down the corridor, using the King as a shield, Satoru calculates his escape route.
The King, although clearly fearful, murmurs, "You won't get out of here alive, thief."
"We'll see," Satoru just laughs, his mocking smile standing out in the castle's dimness, determined to leave with his treasures and his life.
His footsteps echo down the hallways.
Guards, equipped with swords and spears, emerge from every corner, trying to prevent the intruder's escape. But he turns random items around him into Pokémon - Rattatas and Ekans, which jump on the guards, delaying them. Plus, of course, threatening them with the King's death.
With the 'help' of the King, he identifies the treasure room.
"If you want to live, King, I suggest you cooperate," says Satoru, as he forces him to open a massive safe in the treasure room. The gleam of jewels, gold, and akuma no mis captivates all.
"What a nice collection you have. It would be a shame if someone stole it.",Satoru smiled,
With the aid of digging Pokémon, Satoru quickly gathers over R$ 700 Million in Gold, 7 Akumas no Mis, countless Ancient Books and Encyclopedias, and thousands of regional maps from various parts of the world.
The king, in a desperate move, tries to grab an akuma no mi to eat. However, Satoru prevents this, knocking him out.
"Perhaps you should pick your battles more wisely, Your Majesty," he remarked.
With the treasures in hand and the king slung over his shoulder, Satoru heads for the exit.
At the castle entrance, he mounts a giant Pidgeot, preparing to flee. With one last look at the castle, Satoru smirks. He throws the king, releasing him after a few meters.
Satoru warned, "You can keep your king! But remember! This was the day the great Satoru G..." The sound of cannons boomed suddenly.
He narrows his eyes.
"Never mind."
