The first time he came to his house, the guy brought a group of ferocious-looking guys with him. They said viciously that he must die in the hospital, making him think that they were planning to attack him in the hospital.
He turned around and left.
The second time he came, he changed his face again. He gave gifts, chatted about family matters, said nice things with a disgusting smile, and talked about how it is better to resolve a feud than to create one.
There will be ghosts if you believe it!
Why are you so rude at first and respectful later?
When Shibata chose to kill himself, the two sides fell into a life-and-death struggle. Ishigaki's first killing intention did not seem fake, so the other party's current performance was just a disguise.
The disguise of being careless and indifferent to others.
No matter why Ishigaki did this, Kashiwagi had to start thinking about how to get rid of Ishigaki as soon as possible.
There is also Shibata who is in a vegetative state.
But come to think of it, could there be someone behind Ishigaki, such as a cadre he doesn't even know?
There is too little information available.
Kashiwagi shook his head and looked at the other bed beside him out of habit.
Kokodora was sleeping soundly.
This guy was confirmed to be a wild Pokémon. He was sent to the Pokémon Center for treatment but was sent back shortly afterwards. He was now squeezed into a large jar like a nursery, snoring and unable to wake up.
The external injuries have healed, but the internal injuries are unclear.
The doctor who brought the animal in also said that it was a little malnourished and it would be best to supplement it with some refined iron or alloy steel.
A beast that eats gold.
Kashiwagi was quite doubtful whether his small wallet could withstand the destruction. It should be much easier with the subsidy from formal members.
"Goo."
The slight cry caught his attention, and when he looked over, he saw Kokodora opening her eyes slightly.
"Are you awake? Don't be nervous, this is a hospital. Are you feeling unwell?"
Kashiwagi smiled and opened the glass cover of the treatment device for him.
Kokodora was startled, and suddenly stood up and looked around. After looking around, she returned to Kashiwagi.
"Goo!"
It leaped from the recuperation device into Kashiwagi's arms, rubbing its head against him like a puppy.
“Woo-hoo!”
The latter groaned, feeling that his ribs were about to be broken by it, and he almost suffocated. Then he was a little surprised at the intimacy shown by Kokodora.
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
I thought I would need to talk a few more times before I could win this guy's favor, but it went much more smoothly than expected.
opportunity?
Baimu stroked its head, thought for a moment, and said:
"Cocodora, will you...be my partner?"
"Goo?"
Kokodora looked up, not quite understanding what he said.
Kashiwagi said softly: "If you don't hate me, I hope to get your help - no, we can support each other, help each other, and live together in this place."
"Maybe it's a little abrupt, but I desperately need your strength, and I really hope you can stand by my side."
He put Kokodora on the ground, squatted down in a position that would not hurt his left leg, and stretched out his hand in front of the other party. "If you agree, please shake hands with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kokodora raised its front paw without hesitation and placed it in his palm.
"Guduo!"
Needless to say!
It nodded very seriously, as if answering a question that should be taken for granted.
"Ah...thank you."
The smile on Kashiwagi's lips bloomed uncontrollably.

the next day.
Cheng Hong came over.
The young man only had some external injuries and bruises and he would be fine after a day of rest. When he entered the room, he found Kashiwagi playing Poké Ball throwing and catching with Kokodora.
"Eh? Are the relationship so good?" He was a little surprised. He had seen Kokodora's resistance to the Poké Ball before.
Kashiwagi did not respond, but watched in silence as Chenghong proudly opened a Poké Ball.
In white light.
The Pokémon landed.
It was a strange creature with a black rock ball as its main body, a pale yellow hexagonal hole in the center, a slender rock on its head, and stone legs.
This guy came to a strange place and seemed a little panicked, shaking constantly.
"Ishimaru-it suits you very well."
"Not bad, it's very well behaved!"
Cheng Hong picked him up with a smile and said, "Speaking of which, Kashiwagi, when are you going to pick Pokémon? If you're slow, all the good ones will be picked up."
"I don't want to choose. I choose discount."
Kashiwagi shook his head.
Now that Kokoda has become a partner, it is necessary to help it get out of its malnutrition state, and he himself also needs to adapt to the matter of raising Pokémon.
Raising Pokémon in real life is very different from in the game. If you have ever raised a pet, you will know how troublesome it is. It is even more difficult and arduous to train it into combat power.
Many of the half-baked members of the Quicksand Team cannot cultivate Pokémon, and often choose to replace the individuals they have, and never cultivate them seriously. They often buy magic weapons like in immortal cultivation novels, constantly replacing new ones.
This phenomenon is even prevalent throughout Pyrite Town and even the Ouray region, so those Pokémon that are very powerful when caught are always particularly expensive.
Some Pokémon that are rare but not very strong in the eyes of trainers in other regions are not that popular, and not many people buy them even though they are priced high.
"Cash back... Yeah, you already have Coco Dora."
Cheng Hong nodded and talked a little more about his colleagues.
The three people they rescued were seriously injured and might have to lie in bed for ten days or half a month. Among the other people who were unable to join them on the first day, only one passed the assessment.
Unfortunately, he was almost useless after he came out and is now lying down to recuperate.
Six people qualified on the first day.
It is undoubtedly a huge help to their small group.
"I hope the next few days go as smoothly as this."
Cheng Hong sighed.
"Ah."
Kashiwagi nodded, looking at Kokoda who was in contact with Ishiganko, casually playing with the Poké Ball in his hand.
Last night, the two sides talked about their troubles with each other. Although the language barrier made the progress slow, it also made them closer to each other. Unfortunately, when talking about the goal, Kokodora was unable to give him an answer.
Or maybe he was given it, but he didn’t understand it... I hope I can get an answer in the future.
In a blink of an eye.
The four-day assessment passed.
Except for some accidents on the first day, the process became unusually smooth in the following days, and more people passed.
There were also subsequent participants in Kashiwagi's small group who completed the assessment, but the situation with Shibata's group is not clear.
In the end, nearly 100 people stood out and reached the threshold of formal membership, accounting for a quarter of the total participants. At first glance, there are many people, but in fact, there are many people who have participated in the assessment many times and finally passed.
Therefore, Yugo, as the current agent, is not satisfied with the result.
The Quicksand Team's subordinates - that is, the official members - total only about 2,800 people, which is like a drop in the ocean in Huangtie Town with a population of nearly one million. If they cannot absorb enough new blood, they will always be a second-rate force.
It will never be able to develop better.
However, this anxiety did not affect the joy of those who passed the test. For many people, the status of formal membership was like a step towards heaven, and it meant that the days of hard work were gone forever.
They should be happy.
-
The day of discharge.
Kashiwagi and Kokodora were packing their things when there was a sudden knock on the door behind them.
"Are you Kashiwagi?"
The person who came came to meet his gaze, and looked at himself, "You have a good physique, you have passed the test, and you will come to the sand team to report tomorrow, including your colleagues, I will be here if you can."
After saying that, he turned around and left without giving Kashiwagi a chance to reply.
"……fine."
He shook his head at the confused Kokodora.
There are also many factions within the Quicksand Team. Just in terms of the combat department, in addition to the boss at the top, there are three groups: Sand, Crystal, and Stone, each led by the three highest officials.
The highest official in charge of the Sand Group is a giant of more than two meters. He is described as generous, carefree, and hates to drag things out. He is also caring for his subordinates and is a good leader.
I hope the rumors are true.
Kashiwagi understood that he had no right to choose. Only the special forces team in the Quicksand Team could work alone like Kojiro Musashi, but all the members of the special forces team were trained internally since childhood.
It is considered sincere that the other party takes the initiative to come to your door.
