When Otsuka and the others who were being hugged heard this, they couldn't help but shed tears and howled loudly.
"Boss!"
"Captain, I missed you too!"
"Kashiwagi! Everyone on Qingyi Street has been watching you on the news! They are all waiting for you to come back!"
Chapter 642 Go their separate ways
Qingyi Street.
Where the cypress grows.
The area there is cramped, with sheds, dilapidated houses and tin houses everywhere.
The environment is dirty and messy, even the water is not very clean.
Everyone works very hard and sticks together to barely survive, and on a daily basis they are exploited by the Liusha team. It is hard to imagine how everyone persists.
Later, with the help of Kokodora, he luckily escaped the pursuit of his relatives in an abandoned mine, and successfully survived the charity battle royale. He was appreciated by Liuge and promoted to team leader.
Finally, everyone on Qingyi Street was saved from being exploited.
As Kashiwagi grew stronger, life on Qingyi Street improved gradually, and he no longer needed any additional support. Without the evil spirits that deducted and exploited them, the residents were naturally no longer in hardship.
During the War of Liberation.
Most people joined the rescue organization, and Qingyi Street was destroyed by dark Pokémon and bombs, leaving only countless rubble and ruins.
But "home" is not lost.
On the contrary, with the complete victory of the War of Liberation, they truly gained their own home and had the right to live happily and peacefully like other regions.
Until now.
The sheds and dilapidated houses have been transformed into brand new row houses, and the water flowing out of the taps is no longer muddy yellow water, but clear tap water.
Not only can you see green plants outdoors, but there are also many Pokémon.
The elderly have a place to rely on and the young are taken care of.
These were what Kashiwagi witnessed with his own eyes before he went on the trip, and were also recognized from photos taken later by Yamanori, Narihiro and others.
While being deeply grateful to the rescue organization.
Everyone on Qingyi Street has never forgotten the child they fed with the food they saved from their own mouths, and then led them step by step towards the light.
When he goes on a long journey, even if you no longer need his protection, you will always wonder when he will come back.
Return to Huangtie Town, return to Qingyi Street, the common home for everyone.
"Everyone is waiting for you!"
Cheng Hong narrated in a low voice, and the others nodded.
The uncontrollable tears and the expectant gazes deeply touched Kashiwagi who was hugging a group of familiar friends.
He said in a deep voice: "I will go back! But... not now."
"Why? I heard from the mayor that after the Saiyou Tournament there will be a Champions League for the Hoenn region... Kashiwagi, let's go back to Orei, everyone will recognize you as the champion of Orei, don't become the champion of Hoenn, okay?"
Otsuka wiped away her tears and begged.
This guy didn't seem to have considered the fact that Kashiwagi couldn't defeat the Four Heavenly Kings of Hoenn and the champion Daigo, as if he could definitely do it as long as he wanted to.
After all, in Otsuka's mind, except for the time when he lost to Yamaminoru, Kashiwagi always defeated all enemies and had the last laugh.
"Idiot! I have other things to do!"
He patted the other person's head, calmed the emotions surging in his heart, and said, "I definitely can't participate in the Champions League, but I still have some final things to finish."
In the past, he had thought about participating in the Champions League and only playing against the Four Heavenly Kings instead of the Champion.
Because no matter whether he wins or loses, it will be very disadvantageous to him and Shan Min's subsequent "Olei's copy of Dan Emperor" plan.
But later, by chance, he moved into the Liuli Gym. After consulting with Mikoli, who had personally experienced the Champions League, Kashiwagi realized that he was too self-righteous.
Let’s not talk about whether we can defeat the Four Heavenly Kings.
Giving up the championship defense battle means withdrawing from the competition after defeating the Four Heavenly Kings, and without a convincing enough reason, how could the Hoenn Alliance allow him to fight or withdraw as he pleases?
Furthermore.
The Champions League serves not only the tournament winners, but also the Four Heavenly Kings.
They also have their eyes set on the championship throne, and have been working hard to defeat the champions to reach the top of the region. Regardless of whether they can beat the champions or not, defeating them and then withdrawing at will would be considered disrespectful to them.
An accident.
It will deal a serious blow to Kashiwagi's reputation.
After answering all of this, Mikoli took out all of his main Pokémon to fight in the afternoon practice. After the battle, he said that he participated in the Champions League only to increase his fame.
Then why not have an open match with him.
You can also become famous by defeating the gorgeous competition master and former champion Mikoli!
After being "beaten", Kashiwagi decisively admitted his mistake and gave up participating in the Champions League.
He knew that Mikoli's objection was not because he was "greedy for fame and fortune" but was directed at the sanctity of the Champions League.
Hoenn is a place where thousands of trainers pursue their dreams. How can he do whatever he wants?
Either you participate and win or lose honestly.
Or just don’t participate!
Since you give up.
You must have the awareness to give up everything!
As someone who voluntarily resigned from the championship position, Mikoli knows very well that it is impossible to go on peacefully if you want to have it all.
Therefore, when he stepped down, he took the initiative to have a world championship alternation match with Daigo, and suffered a crushing defeat!
Kashiwagi gradually came back to his senses, took out a few envelopes and handed them to Otsuka and the others, saying, "During the days I'm finishing up, you can just wander around the Hoenn region, capture new Pokémon if you want, buy whatever you want, and have a good time.
"If you don't have enough money, come back to me for more. When I'm done with my work, I'll come back to find you guys to go back to Orei. Do you understand?"
Several people took the yellow envelope and responded excitedly in unison: "Understood!"
It had been a long time since I last heard Kashiwagi telling them what to do, and I really missed it.
As for going with him?
The Rainbow Team did not disobey the boss's rules!
Obviously.
The time since Olei's liberation was too short. Even though the living environment had changed dramatically, many people's thinking had not yet been completely reversed.
The idea that gang rules are above everything else is firmly engraved in their minds.
Even Huangtie Town Mayor Shan Min was just a more powerful leader in their subconscious.
"...Okay, have you all eaten yet? Let's find a place to eat."
Kashiwagi also noticed this and his expression froze slightly.
The appearance of this group of guys not only evoked his memories, but also brought back his way of ordering people around in Huangtie Town.
The power of habit is terrible.
Of course, Otsuka and the others would not refuse, and they surrounded him and talked non-stop, laughing.
In fact.
Shortly after Kashiwagi finished his victory celebration, he was talking to Yamaminoru on the phone and learned that Otsuka and the others had already arrived in Saiyu City, but they did not come to disturb him because they were worried that it would affect his condition for the competition.
He then hurriedly hung up the phone and contacted this group of unreliable guys.
-
late at night.
Inside the hotel room.
Kashiwagi leaned lazily on the pillow. The originally spacious bedroom was now filled with Pokémon of all sizes.
Minotaurs sang softly beside Boskodora, who was looking at the moon through the window.
"Meeko~mee~"
The left head of the three-headed dragon is holding the Galar Sun Coral, the right head is playing and fighting with its brother, Doron, and the middle head is staring at Kashiwagi.
The three heads each have their own ideas and are very busy.
By the window.
Above Happiny's head, the quiet sister Doron is watching TV series with Douchebag on a long sofa stuffed with dolls, while the invisible Doron Baruto is participating in it in a weird posture.
The heterochromatic Gengar at the foot of the bed leaned against a fluffy pillow, completely immersed in the game console that Kashiwagi bought for it, and occasionally let out strange laughs.
Only the super-giant Steelix was coiled in the living room outside, with a small section of its tail extending to the balcony. It had its eyes closed and was emitting low sounds of deep sleep, its breathing was even and it was having a good sleep.
The winning night.
Except for Steelix which has a good sleep and rest schedule, other Pokémon basically can't sleep.
Kashiwagi didn't interfere with them, and discussed with Porygon 2 on his phone a series of finishing touches that needed to be done before returning to Orei.
Prioritize everything.
The most important thing to solve is undoubtedly Porygon Z Unit-0.
In order to realize his space dream, this guy stole a large amount of funds from unknown sources to purchase aerospace materials, and frequently came to try to incite Porygon 2 to rebel.
It's time to strike hard at it!
The second stop after that was the Liuli Gym, where he said goodbye to Adam, Michaeli, and the old butler Sebastian who had taken care of him.
The third stop is Meteor Village.
His own key stone came from the trial given by the elders. He would always go back to take a look when he had free time after the conference, not to mention that Xijiana had helped him so much.
The fourth and final stop is the Valley of Creation.
