The young man only had some external injuries and contusions and would be fine after a day of rest. When he entered the door, he found Kashiwagi playing tossing and catching Poké Balls with Kokodora.
"Eh? Is our relationship so good?" He was a little surprised. He had seen Kokodora's resistance to the Poké Ball before.
Kashiwagi didn't respond, watching in silence as Chenghong opened a Poké Ball triumphantly.
In white light.
The Pokémon landed.
It was a strange creature with a black rock ball as its main body, a light yellow hexagonal hole in the center, a slender rock block on its head, and stone legs.
This guy seemed a little panicked when he came to a strange place and was shaking non-stop.
"Ishimaru-it suits you quite well."
"Not bad, it is very well-behaved!"
Chenghong picked it up with a smile and said: "Speaking of Kashiwagi, when are you going to pick Pokémon? If you go any slower, all the good ones will be picked."
"I don't have a choice anymore, I choose to cash out."
Kashiwagi shook his head.
Now that Kokodora has become a partner, it is necessary to help him get out of a state of malnutrition, and he himself also needs to adapt to raising Pokémon.
Raising Pokémon in real life is very different from that in the game. If you have ever raised a pet, you will know how troublesome it is, and it is even more difficult to train it into combat effectiveness.
Many of the Quicksand Team are half-hearted at cultivating Pokémon. They often choose to replace the individuals in their hands and never cultivate them seriously. They often replace them with new ones like buying magic weapons in fairy tales.
This phenomenon has even spread throughout Huangtie Town and even the Olei region, so those Pokémon that are very powerful when caught are always very expensive.
Some Pokémon that are rare but not very powerful in the eyes of trainers in other regions are not so popular, and not many people buy them at high prices.
"Discount...that's right, you already have Coconut."
Chenghong nodded and talked about his colleagues.
The three people they rescued were seriously injured and may have to lie down for ten days and a half. Among the other people who failed to join them on the first day, only one passed the test.
Unfortunately, after he came out, he was almost useless, and he was lying down recovering from his injuries.
Six people qualified the first day.
It is undoubtedly a huge help to their small group.
"It will be great if the next few days go as smoothly."
Chenghong sighed.
"Um."
Kashiwagi nodded, looking at Kokodora who was in contact with Ishimaru, playing with the elf ball in his hand casually.
The two sides shared their worries with each other last night. Although progress was slow due to the language barrier, it also brought them closer to each other. Unfortunately, when talking about the goal, Cocodora could not give him an answer.
Or maybe it was given and he didn't understand it... I hope he can get an answer in the future.
In a blink of an eye.
The four-day assessment passed.
Except for an accident on the first day, the following days became extremely smooth, and more people passed through.
There were also people in Kashiwagi’s small group who participated in the follow-up and completed the assessment, but Shibata’s group is not clear.
In the end, nearly a hundred people stood out and reached the threshold of official members, accounting for a quarter of the total participants. At first glance, there are many, but in fact there are many people who participated in the assessment many times and finally passed the test.
Therefore, Yugo, as the current agent, is not satisfied with the result.
The Liusand Team's subordinates, that is, the official members, total only more than 1,200 people. They are like a drop in the ocean in this Huangtie Town with a population of nearly 500,000. If they cannot absorb enough new blood, they will always be a second-rate force.
It can never develop better.
However, this anxiety did not affect those who happily passed. For many people, the status of formal membership is tantamount to reaching the sky in one step, which means that the days of hard work are 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 visitor met his gaze and began to look at himself, "You have a good physique. You are considered qualified. I will report to the Sarawak team tomorrow. Counting your colleagues, I will include all those who can come."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and left without giving Kashiwagi a chance to reply.
"……fine."
He shook his head at the confused Cocodola.
There are also many factions within the Quicksand Team. When it comes to the combat section, apart from the boss at the top, there are three groups: Sha, Jing, and Shi, which are led by the three highest cadres.
Among them, the top cadre who leads the Sarawak team is a giant man who is more than two meters tall. The outside world calls him a bold man, careless in doing things, and hates to be sloppy. He still cares about 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 service team of the Quicksand Team could work alone like Kojiro Musashi. However, none of the special service team was cultivated internally from childhood.
If the other party takes the initiative to come to your door, it can be considered sincere.
Pack your things.
Kashiwagi left the hospital with Cocodora and went directly to the Quicksand Team building to register his identity and receive items related to official members.
The assisting clerk looked at Cocodora with some surprise. He rarely saw minions who owned Pokémon before receiving it.
After all, most people who can get it directly don’t like it.
"Please help me exchange the Pokémon rewards for financial subsidies. I think I can exchange them, right?"
"Eh? Ah! It's okay!"
Kashiwagi's words made the clerk suddenly come to his senses and nodded hastily.
After some operations.
The former received 100,000 yuan and left with Kokodola satisfied.
The Pokémon provided to new members by the Quicksand Team are usually only Stoneballs and Fiststones. Occasionally, there will be Umbo, Mountain Rat and the like. Although the types are different, the prices are basically the same.
It is necessary to mention that the value of the Poké Dollar currency used in the Ole area is similar to the Japanese yen, that is, the unit price of the Poke Ball is 200, and the unit price of the refreshing soda is 300.
Most of the prices are normal. However, due to the need to import Pokémon, the value is far higher than that of other areas - especially the area of Huang Iron Town, the seaside Viola Port and the largest city Silica City are slightly lower.
"Our food expenses have increased again~"
Kashiwagi smiled and waved the banknote to Cocodola.
"Goo!"
Cocodola raised her head and responded happily.
Tongxian Street.
Here is the apartment assigned to the subordinates by the Quicksand Team. It is a three-and-a-half-story concrete high-rise building. The exterior facade is largely weathered and has a dark gray cement color. There are no green facilities around, and the roads are in tatters.
But the infrastructure here, such as water pipes, sewers, electrical systems, etc., are far better than the prefabricated houses on Qingyi Street.
Thinking about it, it makes it more bearable because it has to bear the weight of Pokémon.
Kashiwagi likes this place very much, not because of the facilities, but because he can see all kinds of Pokémon playing around.
There were only people around his previous residence, which made him confused many times whether he had come to the Pokémon World or not.
"Kashiwagi! Let's go out for a meal tonight? We all want to thank you and plan to celebrate."
Chenghong, who was carrying large and small bags, said with a smile on his face.
"Okay, remember to tell me the location."
Kashiwagi nodded, not to mention that the people in the Quicksand Team are only at the lower level, even the top cadres, it is very important to stay together.
But human interaction... He can't handle this the most.
I don't know if it was deliberately arranged, but the places they were assigned to were all very close to each other. For example, Chenghong was next door, and the rest of them couldn't get away with it.
Was it arranged by the person during the day?
I wonder if I can get detailed information about Ishigaki from him, including his specific family environment, friends, backstage and Pokémon.
