The others immediately looked towards him.
In addition to Citron and other companions who traveled with Xiaozhi, also present were the fat man Tierno who set out at the same time as Serena, the brown-skinned girl with twin ponytails Shana, and Doroba who loved taking photos.
In the original plot, Shota, who was defeated in the semi-finals, was nowhere to be seen. I guess he was feeling sad in a corner of the stadium. Being just one step away from winning was such a huge blow.
Kashiwagi smiled at her and said, "Instead of asking me, why not ask them directly. Hey! Xiaozhi! Won't you introduce yourself to everyone?"
The three people who were deeply moved quickly came back to their senses.
Xiaogang was the first to react and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, everyone. My name is Xiaogang, and I was Xiaozhi's travel companion in the past."
Xiaoguang smiled and said: "My name is Xiaoguang, just like Xiaogang, this kid is Pogaman~"
"Bo-boo~!"
Pogamon raised his little wings with full energy.
Hearing this, Citron and Yurika came closer, the former smiled and said, "So that's how it is, you are Xiaogang, and I'm Citron. During the trip, Xiaozhi kept mentioning your name and praising your cooking skills."
"Hahaha, I've heard Kashiwagi talk about it. I've heard a lot about it."
The two logistics teams were all smiles.
"Hello, Sister Xiaoguang~ Is this child Pogamon? So cute~"
Yulijia's focus was on Pokémon. She blinked her big cute eyes and asked, "Can I hug it?"
Xiaoguang lowered his head and looked at Pogaman, who jumped over with a "pop".
"Hahaha--"
Yulijia was small but very strong. After hugging Pogaman and spinning around to relieve the force, she immediately rubbed his cheek and said jokingly, "It's so cold~ So comfortable~"
Tierno and others also gathered around.
Only Serena looked a little hesitant. It wasn't that she hated Xiaoguang, but she didn't know how to approach the girl who seemed to be particularly close to Xiaozhi.
"Don't make more enemies for yourself. Just go and talk and you'll know."
Kashiwagi whispered in his ear.
Serena turned her head and looked at him in surprise. After a brief thought, she nodded seriously, took a deep breath, and walked towards Xiaoguang.
Make sense.
Many animation fans believe that the relationship between Hikaru and Satoshi is "more than friends but less than lovers", but regardless of whether this is true or not, a piece of wood can be a strong obstacle to their relationship.
How likely is it that two pieces of wood will develop feelings that go beyond friendship?
the answer is--
The probability of success is definitely not as high as that of Serena who has made a clear effort.
But who knows what will happen in the future?
There were basically not many female characters around Ash during the journey, and the reappearance of Dawn and Serena did not stir up much of a romantic atmosphere.
Of course, Kashiwagi didn't particularly care who Satoshi would marry in the end, he just happened to encounter this popular scene and just wanted to join in the fun.
He was moved when he saw a bright smile gradually appear on Serena's face while she was talking to Xiaoguang.
What youth...
Suddenly.
He walked over to the door and tore it open.
"what!"
"What's going on, meow!"
Accompanied by chaotic screams, two people dressed as reporters and a rather strange-looking creature fell into the room.
Everyone looked at them in confusion, and someone asked, "Who are you..."
"Reporter, reporter~"
"Sorry to bother you~"
"That's it, meow."
The red-haired reporter hurriedly explained, the blue-haired reporter apologized awkwardly, and the weird creature laughed it off.
The three were just about to leave the room.
then.
When they saw Baimu standing by the door with a kind smile on his face, they froze in place for a moment, with deep despair on their faces.
"...Shuo na shi?"
Guo Ran Weng, who was covered in clothes, let out a puzzled cry.
"You guys chat, I'll go out and talk with them."
Kashiwagi put his arm around Musashi with his left hand and Kojiro with his right hand, gave Meow Meow, who was sweating profusely, a look, smiled and waved to everyone, and walked out.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Is Kashiwagi familiar with those two reporters?"
“I don’t know…”
Outside.
In the empty corridor.
Kojiro, Musashi, Meow Meow and Goran sat on their knees obediently, not daring to even breathe in front of the Kashiwagi in front of them.
"Didn't I say don't let me see you guys again?"
The faint voice sounded like the whispers of the Sanzu River, exciting the two people and two Pokémon so much that they trembled all over.
Without hesitation, they posed in a prostration posture.
"Red Bean Paste Private Masan! Please forgive us again!"
The three members of Team Rocket had no desire to resist this demon who held their lives in their hands, and they had no choice but to submit.
Kashiwagi looked at these talented and creative people and fell into deep thought.
Now it seems that the treatment we took to prevent them from causing trouble was a bit rough. This important handle could be used to do something more meaningful.
He said, "Forgive you? It's not impossible, but you have to make a deal with me."
"trade?"
The trio looked up and looked at each other.
"That's right, you Team Rocket like to lurk in other areas to expand your influence, right?" Kashiwagi picked up Meowth and gently scratched its chin while the latter looked terrified.
The skilled movements made Miaomiao feel comfortable and relaxed unconsciously, but the inner uneasiness made her nervous again. The multiple opposite emotions made Miaomiao feel like she was going crazy.
“Don’t, don’t do this, meow…don’t…”
Meow Meow pushed his claws into the air as if he was stepping on milk.
Kashiwagi ignored him and continued, "I'm from Olei. You may not know me, but your boss Osakagi has probably heard of me. There have been big changes there recently, and an alliance will be formed soon.
"I hope that if Sakaki intends to expand his influence to the Oure region, you can take the initiative to take on this task—"
"You want us to betray the boss? I tell you that's absolutely impossible!"
Musashi jumped up from the ground with a roar and waved his hand to refuse righteously.
He smiled, pulled his phone out of his pocket and muttered, "What's the phone number for the Pokémon Center in Happy Town?"
"I'm sorry I was just kidding."
Musashi slid to his knees on the spot.
Kojiro couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and shouted, "Using someone's weakness to threaten them! That's despicable!"
"Hoopa! I'm looking for a box full of rare bottle caps-"
"I'm sorry I was so loud."
Kojiro slid down to his knees.
He couldn't imagine that the other party not only knew that he was hiding from his fiancée, Ru Meijia, but also knew that he was collecting bottle caps.
Sure enough, Weng looked at the two of them in shock, then looked at the half-disabled Meow Meow in Kashiwagi's hand, his expression extremely terrified, "Swoosh, hiss—"
"Hahaha don't be so nervous. I don't intend to hurt you, nor do I have any intention of causing trouble for Team Rocket. This is all just a precaution."
At least not yet.
Kashiwagi said in his heart, and whispered: "We can definitely reach a cooperative relationship. What does your boss want?"
"...World conquest?" Kojiro replied tentatively.
"You can say that, but I think he's more eager for money right now?"
He looked into Kojiro's eyes and said in a seductive tone, "You always want to snatch various Pokémon and give them to Sakaki, fantasizing that they can be used by him, but in the end Sakaki will definitely sell these Pokémon for money."
Team Rocket usually sells the Pokémon they steal or rob from others.
The Pokémon they use often come from the Rocket Team's original breeding house to prevent the Pokémon from suddenly turning against them. The gashapon machine filled with all kinds of powerful Pokémon during the journey comes from the original breeding house.
You know this too! ?
Kojiro and Musashi were almost dumbfounded by what they heard. They even suspected that the other party was also a member of Team Rocket and was here to trick them.
"In that case, why not skip the sales part? Oure is a virgin land that needs to be redeveloped. If you become the branch chief there, I can introduce business to you. The annual turnover submitted to Sakaki may exceed that of the Johto region..."
Kashiwagi's voice was low but full of temptation, "By then, you will be the big shots of Team Rocket, second to none and with a bright future!
"Kojiro, you can accomplish something that will impress your family, and you can decide on your own about marriage. Musashi can become a global superstar and actress, with countless people cheering and applauding for you. Meow meow, you will definitely become Sakaki's favorite Pokémon, and Madonna will definitely change her mind. And, Ong, you can also bring your first love to your side..."
"Gurgle..." x4
The two people and their two Pokémon swallowed their saliva together.
If Kashiwagi was still a devil in the eyes of the Rocket trio before, he has now transformed into a patient and persuasive devil.
The devil that makes them love and hate.
Musashi suppressed his fantasy of becoming the world's best actress and snorted to cheer himself up, "After saying so much, I don't believe you have no purpose for Team Rocket."
