"That's normally the case."
Frobo said calmly, "The key is, do you know why the boss of the Quicksand Team has not been able to return to Pyrite Town for so many months?"
"why?"
"Because Erkin is applying to establish the Orei Alliance, hold the Orei Alliance Conference and set up positions such as chairman, champion, and four kings, in an effort to get closer to the mainstream regions. However, establishing an alliance requires the approval and review of other regional alliances. It will not be recognized if it is established rashly, just like the gyms in the mainstream regions."
"Then……"
"In the past few months, many Alliance prosecutors have come. They want to thoroughly investigate Erkin's capital flow, etc. This includes the export of ore. As one of the largest producers in Pyrite Town, the bosses of the Quicksand Team and the Vicious Dog Team were naturally called over, and the investigation has been going on until now."
"How dare a prosecutor from the Alliance hold a charity conference like that?"
"That was one of the few good opportunities for Erkin to replenish his pockets. This person is extremely greedy, how could he let it go? The 'remnants' of the Vicious Dog Team not only told Erkin about this, but also reported it to the Alliance prosecutor."
"Woo! The Quicksand Team boss became a victim?"
"Yes. Not only that, the Alliance Prosecutor is determined to come to Huangtie Town to investigate. But you also know the current situation of Huangtie Town. If Erkin sees the Alliance Prosecutor, his ambition will be shattered. Therefore, he delayed the Alliance Prosecutor while secretly sending people to suppress the people here."
"So the chaos in Yellow Iron Town won't last much longer?"
"That's right. We can't resist the power of Silicon City for now. Yellow Iron Town will definitely return to its original state." Frobo nodded. "But compared to that, you should pay more attention to the fact that the boss of the Quicksand Team is under house arrest. He is closely related to you."
When Kashiwagi heard this, he felt confused.
But Frobo just told him that he would know soon.
The next moment after finishing speaking.
Kashiwagi received a text message from Soshiro looking for him, which made him look at Floppo.
"Go."
"Ah."
-
Dungeon boxing ring.
Due to the serious injury that Cang Zhilang suffered a few days ago, no one has used this place for a long time.
But this time, Kashiwagi was invited here again, and he met Soshiro who was still boxing with the bandages on his upper body not yet removed.
"Come up! Play a round with me!"
"……Row."
Kashiwagi thought that this person probably knew that the boss had been arrested, and was upset and wanted to relieve his stress.
As a result, after only a few rounds with Soshiro, the latter began to breathe heavily, and failed to dodge the heavy blows and kicks in the side of his abdomen from Kashiwagi, and fell to the side.
"Boss!"
Kashiwagi panicked, realizing that Soshiro's injury had not healed at all. This punch might cause him to convulse, so he hurried forward to help him up.
"hehe……"
Cang Shilang raised his eyelids, "You have become stronger again."
"I'm just growing up. I'm only sixteen years old." Kashiwagi said helplessly.
His growth trajectory is different from that of ordinary people in Huangtie Town. He is far from reaching his limit. In the past few months, he has grown rapidly by relying on the nutritious eggs from Jili Egg. From muscles to dynamic vision, all aspects have become stronger.
"Growing up means becoming stronger."
Soshiro drank the water Kashiwagi handed him, and his expression suddenly became a little silent.
After more than ten seconds.
The burly man then said, "After we leave, this place will be handed over to you."
"what?"
"Don't tell me you don't know that the boss is under house arrest." Cang Zhilang sneered, "Let me ask you, what do you plan to do when you hear the news?"
"Well... go save him?" Kashiwagi thought for a moment and said seriously.
Seeing that his expression was not fake, Cang Zhilang's coldness quickly melted away, "...There are not many people like you in the Quicksand Team."
"Uh."
"Everyone knows that the boss has been arrested, but how many people want to save him?" Cang Zhilang looked at him, his tone full of regret, "Very few. It seems that these people really don't know why our Quicksand Team has been able to hold on until this day, and the importance of the backbone."
Kashiwagi seemed to understand something and asked in surprise, "You're going to Sibo City to rescue the boss?"
"Ah."
Cang Shilang didn't seem surprised that he could guess it, "Not only me, but also Yugo, and Chester, and two-thirds of the Quicksand Team's strength."
"hiss!"
Kashiwagi just felt horrified. Soshiro should know better than him how powerful Silicon City is, but the former still wanted to go, and even took so many people with him.
"Are you going?" Cang Zhilang suddenly asked.
“…I don’t want to go.”
Kashiwagi shook his head very honestly. "Gathering a large army to go to Siguan City is reckless and tantamount to self-destruction. This extreme method should not be taken."
"you're right."
Cang Zhilang nodded calmly, "But we don't have time to plan more. Once the boss is really convicted of those crimes, the ones who take him away will be the international police, and we won't be able to find him no matter what."
But this is too...
"We are not without a chance of winning. We must strive for it. Putting aside the relationship between us and the boss, you have seen what happens to the Vicious Dog Team without the strongest force to guard it."
Cang Zhilang said: "As long as the boss is there, no matter how much territory we lose, we can regain it. But without the boss, we will soon become a mess. You shouldn't know what Chester thinks."
at this time.
Kashiwagi almost subconsciously told Soshiro the news that the secret forces of Siku City were coming, but he swallowed the words and replaced them with another sentence, "What are the chances of winning?"
"We'll take whatever we can get. You're not included in the group that's going."
Cang Zhilang stood up slowly and decided Kashiwagi's fate lightly, "You are still young and have a bright future. It is better for you to stay in Huangtie Town than to go with us. They don't lack the strength of a cadre like you."
The latter remained silent.
Cang Zhilang turned over and walked down from the ring, picked up a luxurious ball placed beside him, and suddenly handed it to him, "This is for you."
"Give me?"
Baimu was slightly startled.
"You haven't used the 10 million you got for promotion to a cadre yet. Haven't found a good Pokémon? I happen to have one here. I was planning to tame it myself, but due to my injury, I don't have the chance anymore."
Soshiro placed the Poké Ball on Kashiwagi, “This guy is not easy to deal with. His size, strength, temper, and other aspects make him difficult to tame. You have to be mentally prepared.
"But if you succeed in taming it, you will have the power to protect yourself in Pyrite Town even after we leave."
"……what is it?"
"Steel Snake."

Chapter 164: Boss Size
He said he would take away two-thirds of the combat power.
But actually taking action is not as simple as Soshiro said.
The Quicksand Team is not an army that follows orders. The organization is barely maintained by money and loyalty. It is basically impossible to ask them to abandon everything they have and save the boss far away in Silicon Carbide City with just a few words.
Fortunately, the higher-ups are still very determined to save the boss. After all, they have just wiped out an organization of the same level that collapsed due to the lack of a boss, and no one wants to suffer the same fate as the Vicious Dog Team.
then.
With some key intelligence concealed by the top leaders, a campaign called "Welcome Back the King of Quicksand" was launched.
Some senior executives headed by Aoshiro gave up their interests, and the rewards that were distributed equally successfully stimulated the middle and lower-level personnel, and a massive registration work began.
The Quicksand team members participated enthusiastically, and the former Vicious Dog team members also responded positively in order to gain a certain position in the new organization.
Kashiwagi, who was not on the shortlist, watched all this indifferently.
"The Quicksand Team will delay the arrival of the secret forces from Silicon City. We will have more time and a precious chance of survival in this transformation."
Shan Min's tone was no longer as relaxed as before.
Obviously he had seen everything that was happening in Huangtie Town and even had his own plans, but some situations were still not what he wanted to see.
"You need to continue to grow. This mission is simple yet arduous. You should understand that although Chester participated in welcoming back the boss of the Quicksand Team, it is inevitable that he will not put in any effort."
Shan Min whispered: "If Chester takes this opportunity to come back, you will need the power to fight him."
A force to contend with.
When this person said this.
Kashiwagi couldn't help but look at the Pokémon that Soshiro gave him——
Steel Snake.
From the perspective of building a complete game battle team, Steelix and Boskodora have many similarities, including but not limited to extreme physical defense, slow speed and some weaknesses.
Even their skills and characteristics have a lot in common.
But the two Pokémon are different after all, and in fact more factors beyond the basic game data must be considered - body size, personality, IQ, skilled moves, body structure, attack habits, etc.
For Kashiwagi, since he did not refuse to take this Pokémon from Soshiro, it is necessary for him to discover the unique potential of Steelix.
of course.
All of this is based on the premise that Steelix can be tamed.
The information obtained from the Pokémon Center and the Pokédex is enough to prove that this guy is not easy to deal with. No wonder Soshiro temporarily put him aside after being injured.
