American comics: Random transformations

“Hey—Lileep!… …What are you doing? My safe house!!!”

A familiar voice came from behind, and you could tell from the sound that the other party was very angry.

The Charmander's body, which was eating bread, suddenly stiffened, and its wagging tail straightened, and cold sweat involuntarily broke out on its back.

Its little head turned stiffly, like a rusty gear.

“Kana~” (It's… a coincidence, Aunt Selina~)

Selina saw the orange, big lizard with a fire-breathing tail from a distance.

At first, she was curious about what it was doing.

But when she got closer, she realized that her safe house… had become a ruin!

Looking at the extent of the damage, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it had been carpet-bombed by rocket launchers!

“Kana kana!!” (Aunt Selina, let me explain! Damn it, she can't understand what I'm saying now!)

Of course, Selina knew that the abnormal creature in front of her must be Ben Tennyson transformed; it still had that green thing on its tail.

“Speak human language!”

Selina gritted her teeth. No matter what, she had spent a lot of time building that safe house. Did he know how troublesome it was to build a safe house in Gotham!

In Gotham, a place lacking in security, good safe houses were either snatched by others or the houses were ridiculously expensive, so every safe house was very valuable!

Even a master thief like Selina would feel the pain, she had put a lot of money into this safe house!

“Kana—” (I want to, but I can't for the time being! Charmander doesn't have human speech function—)

Then it thought: That's right! I can ask Aunt Selina to help me undo the transformation!

So, it did as it thought. Charmander turned around, pointed to its tail with its paw, and cried "Kana kana" trying to make Selina understand its behavior and help it undo the transformation!

But from Selina's perspective, the big lizard in front of her actually dared to face her with its butt and bark at her in a mocking manner!

So arrogant!

She got angry, her fists hardened!

Selina picked up her leather whip and lashed it fiercely at Charmander's butt.

From Charmander's perspective, it could easily see through the trajectory of the leather whip.

In order to prevent being whipped, it nimbly dodged it and cried "Kana kana" again.

(Damn it, damn it, Aunt Selina, did you misunderstand! Let's talk nicely! Don't do anything!)

“Pa!”

The leather whip lashed on the ruins, smashing several wall bricks and knocking down a pile of sand and stones.

Charmander was startled: Sizz—, I rely on, this lethality! It must be very painful to be whipped!

Charmander's reaction was intense.

“Kana kana kana…!”

(Stop it, Selina, look here! I said you can press the button to undo the transformation! I'm not mocking you! Hey! Look at the logo here!)

Selina watched Charmander still jumping up and down in front of her, and from time to time repeating pointing at its butt, as if to say: Can't hit me, can't hit me…

The string of reason snapped in the flames of anger!

“Very good, kid, don't be whipped to death by me!”

The whip was instantly swung into afterimages by Selina.

“Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!…”

The sonic boom of the whip was continuous.

Charmander swayed left and right, jumping occasionally, dodging the attack of the whip every time!

It used Ash's "godly skill": Quick, dodge!

As long as it concentrated its attention, the whip wouldn't be able to hit it!

Seeing that it was so agile, Selina put away the leather whip and planned to fight in close combat! Her assessment of Ben Tennyson's combat power was still easy to catch, just like Meowth at the time.

Moreover, her gloves were equipped with metal claws! (Catwoman licking hands)

Seeing that Catwoman refused to stop, there was no way, he could only confront her head-on.

Charmander took a deep breath and suddenly blew out a cloud of charcoal-black mist.

This was Charmander's skill [Smokescreen]: Spraying carbon ash at the opponent to confuse their vision and reduce the opponent's hit rate!

Selina rushed straight into the smoke screen. The dark carbon ash hindered her vision and made her breathing a little difficult. "Sh*t, smoke bomb!"

She immediately retreated, trying to escape the area filled with smoke.

Charmander chased after her. When Selina opened her eyes, it used another skill [Scary Face].

The scary face with terrifying special effects produced a great mental shock on Selina, slowing down her attention, slowing down her thinking speed, and slowing down her movements!

Immediately afterwards, Charmander's style changed, the terrifying grimace turned into a cute style, it gave Selina a wink, skill [Attract]!

A pink energy heart was emitted from the wink and hit Selina.

Hit!

Charmander suddenly changed in Selina's senses. Selina's hatred for it was directly cleared to zero, and her favorability soared.

“Oh, little guy, you are so cute!”

Charmander was shocked by the compliment.

It was too terrifying, one second they were fighting to the death, and the next second they could fall in love, and they could praise their appearance for no reason. [Attract] this skill is no weaker than brainwashing!

But fortunately, the other party should have calmed down… probably…

“Kana kana…”

(Help me slap this logo to undo the transformation!)

Charmander called and gestured, constantly making clapping gestures and pointing to the logo at the base of its tail.

This time it might be the effect of [Attract], Selina nodded as if she understood, and then naturally slapped the base of Charmander's tail.

“Pa—”

A red light flashed, and Charmander turned back into Ben Tennyson again.

“Phew, I finally turned back. This broken watch has once again taught me not to underestimate any creature! Charmander's ability to demolish a house is much stronger than a husky's!”

Even though Ben Tennyson had turned back, Selina had not yet awakened from the effects of [Attract].

That adoring gaze made Tian Xiaoban's skin crawl; he felt incredibly awkward!

Chapter 7 A Serious Kidnapping

“I'm sorry, Aunt Selena. I was wrong. I was careless and wrecked your safehouse this time. But don't worry, I'll work hard to earn money and pay you back!”

Tian Xiaoban, back in human form, honestly lowered his head and admitted his mistake. Own up to your mistakes and stand at attention to be punished. (Except for being whipped.)

Still under the effects of the [Charming] brainwashing, Selena wasn't that angry. She said in a gentle tone, “It's okay, Xiaoban. As long as you're not hurt! If the house is gone, it's gone. Come with me tonight and stay at my place.”

Cold sweat instantly poured from Tian Xiaoban's forehead. The gentler Selena was now, the more Tian Xiaoban could imagine how irritable she would be when she woke up. Would she give Tian Xiaoban a skull-splitting attack! A cat's paw tearing open his skull!

“Uh… no, no, I'll find a place to stay myself. Besides, I'm afraid you'll kill me when you wake up!” Tian Xiaoban frantically waved his hands.

This made Selena tilt her head in confusion. “Why would I? I would never hurt you, come with me!”

Selena took Tian Xiaoban's hand and walked towards her current residence.

They were in the city, and after walking around for more than an hour, Selena brought Tian Xiaoban to the back door of a small district bar.

Looking at the dazzling neon lights circling the door, Tian Xiaoban's mouth twitched:

“Uh… Aunt Selena, are you sure you didn't take the wrong way? This is a bar?!”

“That's right, my place is in the residential area. If we go through the main entrance of the residential area, there will be surveillance cameras. The bar is just a cover, we can go directly into the residential area, come with me!”

The two passed through the bar and came to the side door of the bar. Behind the door was a deserted alley.

They hadn't walked far along the alley when the atmosphere around them suddenly felt wrong.

Tian Xiaoban felt that it was so quiet around him, like the protagonist had entered a horror movie. It was already dark, a man and a woman walking in a dark alley where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

The little broken watch's green light could only illuminate the length of a forearm.

“It's so dark, I should have brought a flashlight!”

“Almost there, this area of the residential area has no street lights or surveillance cameras, it's safe enough!”

Suddenly, Selena stopped in place. Her night vision was also top-notch, and she could see several figures at the entrance of the alley in the darkness.

“Who are you? Are you here for me?”

The shadow didn't speak, just raised his right hand, and his right hand was obviously holding a gun.

Selena's pupils shrank: “Sh*t!”

Tian Xiaoban's reaction was not bad either. Just as Selena rolled to dodge the bullets, he had already趴 on the ground.

“Pa!” A bullet must have hit something.

Tian Xiaoban's ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger. He complained, “Damn, does it have to be so exciting? Am I being dragged into some kind of event!”

Before the shadow could fire a second shot, Selena, after somersaulting forward, had already taken out her whip and lashed it at the gunman.

The sound of the whip breaking through the air obviously startled the other party, but in the dark night, the black leather whip was perfectly invisible, and the direction of the attack could not be seen at all.

This attack, using the darkness to hide, directly struck the other party's hand!

“Pa!”

“Ah!!!”

“Clatter,” was the sound of metal falling to the ground.

The other party covered his hand and cried out in pain, cursing.

Just as Selena wanted to give him another lash and directly explode the other party's head.

“Click—” The sound of a button switch sounded.

Super-powered high beams suddenly turned on, illuminating the alley in an instant, as bright as day.

Tian Xiaoban and Selena immediately used their hands to block the strong light, but how could they be faster than light? Too slow. The glaring strong light made them temporarily blind.

“Wow, wow, wow, look what I found. Catwoman is actually looking for children! Haha, I thought only priests liked that. Hahaha.”

This mocking voice… Selena was very familiar with it. The other party could be considered an old friend.

“Sh*t, you damned Penguin Cobblepot, what the hell are you doing! Don't force me to steal all your property! I'll bankrupt you, you stupid penguin, and then you can go to Antarctica to eat ice!”

Losing her sight, Selena could only curse in the direction of the voice!

That's right, ambushing her here was Gotham's famous black market arms dealer, Penguin Cobblepot.

“Oh, oh, Catwoman, don't be so irritable. I believe a small handgun can't do anything to you. I'm here to talk to you about something, we'll chat later.”

Cobblepot waved his hand, and the eight underlings behind him immediately stepped forward, throwing gas canisters at the temporarily blinded Tian Xiaoban and Selena, using the gas canister's anesthetic to knock them down.

“Take them away!” the Penguin ordered.

The eight strong men, in groups of four, carried the two away, went around behind the bar, and circled around before leaving the old residential area.

“Thump! Thump!”

The two people knocked out by the drug were thrown into the pickup truck. Two strong men covered them with a tarpaulin and stayed in the truck bed to watch them.

Penguin Cobblepot got into the back seat and ordered the driver in front to go to their suburban safehouse.

The pickup truck started, and they drove out of Gotham City like newly finished “cleaners.”

… … … …

A deserted factory in the suburbs.

On the surface, it was a deserted factory, but in reality, it was one of Penguin's arms warehouses. The interior of the warehouse was fully renovated, and moving in with just a suitcase was no problem.

After the effects of the anesthetic wore off, Tian Xiaoban woke up. This feeling of spinning and nausea was even more uncomfortable than being hungover in his previous life.

“Ouch! Hiss — — — — Ah!”
