Chapter 8 Forgetting the Past

The only reason to push the exhausted Sung-hong forward.

It is the beautiful life in the future.

Kashiwagi believes that at this time, except for the benefits that are about to be obtained, everything is an illusory pie, so whenever Chenghong slows down, he will use similar words to stimulate the latter.

As the number of stimulations increased, it was obvious that Chenghong's demeanor became a little irritable, but his steps became more powerful.

However.

As if being tricked by fate, their journey was always full of hardships and hardships.

Just as they reached the fork in the road where they encountered the Longlong Stone before, crisis struck again!

From the hole on the left, an earth-gray four-legged Pokémon that looked like a tank rushed out. It was slightly panicked and carried a wailing man on its back. Its right hand was twisted abnormally.

When the four eyes met, Kashiwagi's brows quickly frowned, Narihiro's eyes were filled with despair, and the panic and pain on Shibata's face quickly turned into surprise and malice.

"Hahaha! Wear a mask and pretend I don't know you? Armored Rhino! Kill him!"

This guy's roar soon resounded throughout the cave.

"Run! Run forward!"

Kashiwagi barely had one hand free, and quickly took out the purple ball from his pocket and smashed it on the ground.

Bang!

The small ball exploded, and thick purple fog quickly enveloped the entire fork in the road.

[Smoke Ball], a prop that can confuse Pokémon's vision and sense of smell, is quite expensive.

The armored rhinoceros on the run was not interested in chasing and killing him. Now that he couldn't find the target, he couldn't help but become even more lazy.

Shibata was so angry that he shouted repeatedly.

In the smoke.

Narihiro, who was at the rear, quickly overtook Kashiwagi. His physical strength was already on the verge of reaching its limit, but now a brand new force burst out, causing him to run faster than before.

"It's important to save your life! Put the person down first!"

Kashiwagi reminded in a low voice that there is no need to stick to saving people at this time. How can you care about others if you can't save your own life.

"You let me go! Let me go if you let me go!" Chenghong refused decisively, without even looking back, but he was still convinced that the former was still holding the other two people.

Fool!

Is it interesting to do this now? If you should give up, just give up!

Kashiwagi gritted his teeth, and when he noticed the vibration behind him, he understood that the armored rhinoceros had figured out the direction of their escape.

There was nothing I could do, both of them smelled strongly of sweat and blood, it would be strange if they couldn't smell it.

And this kind of Pokémon can run extremely fast in a straight line. In its heyday, it didn't even dare to run away, and now it's still carrying two people...

"Run! Keep running! See where you can go!"

Shibata's spiteful voice came from afar.

This guy turned his pain into intense hostility, and he probably had some tricks up his sleeve. It was bad luck to be remembered by such a person.

such a pity.

Kashiwagi sighed in his heart, and decisively threw the person he was holding to the edge of the cave. This place was probably less than 500 meters away from the exit. Even if the road was on a steep slope, it would only take more than a minute to carry the two of them.

It's such a pity.

May you both wish yourselves good luck.

Maybe Shibata would let them go in pursuit of someone else, which would be considered a chance of survival.

"I'm taking action! Don't hesitate!"

He yelled and used his other hand to untie the rope around him.

At this time, Shibata's scream suddenly came from behind.

"Ah! What! This guy came out of nowhere!"

Kashiwagi dropped the man on his back, and without slowing down his running speed, he quickly turned his head to take a look. He vaguely saw a silver light exploding, extremely brilliant!

Then the Pokémon howled.

"Gu!!"

"Hum!!"

——Coco Dora!

Kashiwagi will not forget this familiar voice, after all, he was frightened twice before in a hurry.

Is it following again?

Did he even have a conflict with Armored Rhino and Shibata?

Coco Dora...

Rumble——!!

The violent vibrations and flying sand and stones interrupted Kashiwagi's thoughts. He turned around again and saw numerous falling rocks falling from the top, blocking the road behind.

Shibata's shouts and the shouts of the two Pokémon were drowned out by it, completely cut off from him while he was running, like a falling gate.

A gate called safety.

Kashiwagi: "..."

His footsteps suddenly stopped, and with lightning speed, he turned around and rushed towards the first person who was left behind, picked him up suddenly, and then dragged the second person up.

Cheng Hong, who was running in front, was about to leave the man behind when he subconsciously turned around and saw what he was doing, and was a little dumbfounded.

"Did you really lose it? Wait, why did you pick it back up after you lost it?"

"Shut up and run."

Kashiwagi stopped talking too much and looked straight ahead.

Chenghong wanted to ask what was going on, but when he saw his eyes were solemn, he shut his mouth and followed him.

Unexpectedly, the opponent was running faster and faster. He was obviously going up a steep slope, but in an instant, he was more than ten meters away from him, and it was even getting longer.

"Eh? Eh??"

It wasn't until this moment that Chenghong realized that if it weren't for taking care of himself, Kashiwagi might have gone out long ago.

——

"Ahhh! This guy came out of nowhere! Kill him quickly!"

The roar of human incompetence and rage echoed through the mines.

Cocodora raised her head and looked at the armored rhinoceros, which seemed to be angry as it puffed out its nostrils, with a slightly wary expression.

But at this time, it was still thinking about another thing.

Did the boy run away?

hope so.

When it saw each other for the first time, it was extremely surprised. It didn't expect that one day they would meet again. Later, it was discovered that only the eyes and hairstyle were similar, and the two faces were completely different.

yes.

It was abandoned, left in this strange land, no doubt about it.

How could we see each other again?

I had imagined that that person would come looking for it one day, but in the end it was just a fragment of a dream. In the end, what remained deepest in my memory was the figure running away without hesitation.

hatred?

Maybe a little.

But I feel more that I still don’t understand, after all...why?

Why should it be abandoned?

Weak? Slow? Rebellious?

That's not right.

It does not remember that it has been described by any similar words.

What's more, 'it is the trainer's responsibility to make weak Pokémon strong', you said this yourself!

So why?

It just doesn’t understand!

"Goo!"

There was a fire in Cocodola's heart, and she no longer chose to continue the stalemate. A silver halo enveloped her head, and she rushed out!
To be continued...
