Kashiwagi woke up in a messy room that had been simply tidied up.
Last night, I had to go back and forth between the hospital and the police station. Even just making a small note took me until midnight, and the police officer responsible for entertaining them had bags under his eyes that were darker than his eyeballs.
Obviously they are very tired these days.
Having committed two crimes in a short period of time, such an "arrogant" thief was really caught off guard for this small town police department, which basically had no such exaggerated criminal records.
Of course, the overtime work was not in vain. At least when the two thieves planned to continue committing crimes, they had successfully found the thieves' foothold and were ready to guard the two returning thieves and capture their stolen goods.
Who would have thought that these two guys were so brave that they just committed a crime during the day, went out to cause trouble again at night, and were caught red-handed.
It really left them confused.
Fortunately, someone didn't go too far when they struck. The thieves woke up shortly after being knocked out and began to undergo a long interrogation session led by Miss Junsha and several police officers working together.
"Ah~"
Kashiwagi yawned.
When he came back last night, Manchong asked him if he wanted to change rooms. The latter saw that the things inside had already been tidied up and he was too sleepy to change rooms, so he declined and said he would wait until he woke up.
"The process should be completed..."
He picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, and never thought that the first text message he would see on the screen would be a stolen property claim text message from the police station - the Pokémon Egg that was lost yesterday afternoon.
I said something yesterday when I was taking notes, and I think it was registered by the police officer.
The following text message is from the person in charge of the battle tent.
The other party said that he would wait for him at the door of the police station to complete the work of claiming and compensating the Pokémon eggs.
"Enthusiastic enough."
Kashiwagi pushed away the two dragon heads on his belly and thighs, said hello to the auspicious egg, and touched the Galar Sun Coral on his pillow.
After completing a set of daily routines, he got into the bathroom and started washing up.
Not long after.
Full of energy, he greeted Manchong at the front desk, exchanged his room key and went straight to the police station door.
The person in charge happened to be standing next to the guard box, and his eyes lit up when he saw him.
"Mr. Kashiwagi! You should still remember me, right?" The other party took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his face, with a smile on his face.
Kashiwagi nodded, "Of course, please take a trip."
"No trouble, no trouble, please."
The person in charge walked sideways and accompanied him through the door.
After registering their identities, they were led by a police officer to the stolen goods claim office.
Opening the door and going in, the fat man showing off the different-colored Pokémon the day before suddenly came into view.
Standing next to the fat man was a little boy in a suit. His whole body was filled with the aura of a childhood boy. At first glance, he looked like the eldest son of a wealthy family.
The latter two turned around and their eyes lit up when they saw the person in charge and Kashiwagi.
"Finally here!"
The fat man tilted his head excitedly and said, "Master! They are the owners of that Pokémon egg!"
The boy asked curiously: "Then what are you waiting for?"
"Oooh!"
The fat man nodded quickly and said to the confused two people: "You two, I wonder if we can discuss it-"
The police officer suddenly interrupted them and said, "Go out as soon as you get the things. Don't stay for a long time. If you have anything to do, go outside and talk."
The choked fat man instantly lost his temper.
Fortunately, the boy seemed to be more reasonable and did not talk nonsense to the police officer about "do you know who I am?" and walked out of the stolen goods claim area with the fat man.
As they passed by, they nodded politely.
"..."
Kashiwagi nodded in response, looking thoughtfully at the Pokémon eggs whose value was quite conspicuous in the stolen goods claim, "Why is there only one left? Have the others been taken away?"
"Yes."
The person in charge nodded.
"Then why don't you just tell the police officer and take it with you and give it to me at the back? You even waited for me at the door for so long." He was a little confused about the operation of the person in charge.
"Hehehe..." The latter just laughed awkwardly.
Received a Pokémon Egg.
Kashiwagi started to observe. Most Pokémon eggs in the anime can be identified by their external patterns, and this one is no exception.
After reading it, he almost understood what the fat man was excited about.
"It's actually an egg from a spiny tail worm, and it's a different color..."
He looked at the purple wavy spines and yellow patches on the surface of the egg shell, never expecting that the Pokémon of different colors in the animation would actually appear on the surface of the egg.
As long as the egg-hatching party can see this thing, they will spend all day wandering up and down the golden egg-hatching road.
Of course, there is no such setting as egg surface pattern in the game.
The person in charge didn't expect that Kashiwagi could tell the type of egg at a glance, and couldn't help but look at him twice.
After confirmation and registration.
The two turned around and left the police station.
At the gate, the fat man suddenly stood waiting, while a luxury car was parked not far away. Half of the boy's head could be seen through the rear window.
"Sir, let's discuss this."
The fat man stepped forward with a smile, "My young master is very interested in this Pokémon egg. I wonder if you can part with it. We are willing to give you a price that satisfies you..."
Sure enough, those Pokémon of different colors all belong to that little boy?
Kashiwagi thought in his heart and shook his head on the surface.
"Feel sorry."
"You can exchange it even if you don't want to sell it! Whatever Pokémon you want, it's easy to discuss!"
The fat man kept rubbing his hands with a smile on his face, and begged: "Really, I'm very sincere. Whatever Pokémon you want is easy to discuss!"
"Then I want to change it to a different-colored Menas, is that okay?"
Kashiwagi said half-jokingly, looking at the other party expectantly.
The fat man's expression froze, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, "You... are a bit..."
"If not, there is nothing we can do. I don't really need the money, so I'm sorry." He nodded and prepared to leave with the person in charge.
Unexpectedly, the boy in the luxury car not far away suddenly spoke.
"Ugly Fish, big brother, if you are willing, I can exchange it with you for the Ugly Fish."
The sound wasn't too loud, but because the surroundings were really quiet, it reached Kashiwagi's ears very easily.
His steps paused.
"Heterochromatic ugly fish?"
Bai Muxu narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously.
"Yes, it is a childlike and innocent fish. It is a genuine ugly fish with different colors."
The boy nodded, opened the car door and walked out, and took the initiative to explain why he wanted the Pokémon egg so much, "I already have a heterochromatic pink moth and two heterochromatic shield cocoons. There is no one."
I’m just a heterochromatic carapace cocoon, I hope big brother can give me this opportunity.”
Good guy.
How dark is this face?
Kashiwagi suddenly understood the reason why the boy wanted the A. heterochromia so much. After three consecutive times without a heterochromatic hunting butterfly, he wanted to bet on the heterochromatic hunting swallowtail butterfly even if it was just out of anger.
"Please."
The boy came closer to him, suddenly put on a pitiful look, and put his hands on his chin.
"……OK."
Kashiwagi nodded with a reluctant expression, but in fact he was already happy.
It is said that there is no place to be found even if one wears iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there.
I have been thinking about the heterochromatic ugly fish for so long, but I didn’t expect to get it in this way. Maybe it’s the lucky scales, right?
The "price" to obtain the Ugly Fish is to win the battle tent game and bring the two thieves to justice. If any link is missing, the Ugly Fish will most likely not be obtained.
Of course.
If he doesn't want to change, he probably won't be able to get the different-colored Ugly Fish.
It just so happened that Kashiwagi wasn't very interested in the heterochromatic spinytail, and he didn't want to bet on whether this guy could evolve into a shield cocoon or a carapace cocoon, so he might as well exchange it.
Given the little boy's family background, he would not treat the heterochromatic spinytail badly.
The other side.
Seeing that Kashiwagi agreed, the little boy also assigned Fatty to use a simple teleportation device in exchange for the strange color Chou Chou.
Fish - the latter lives in a luxurious ball with a black background and gold rim.
The normal exchange process requires the exchange of special machines to successfully complete the illustrated book registration, but that is only when both parties hold Poké Balls.
Exchanging eggs and Pokémon is more complicated.
The boy suggested going to the fountain pool in the park to release the ugly fish, verifying its true identity and completing the exchange at the same time.
After careful consideration, Kashiwagi agreed. He mainly wanted to "inspect the goods" and said to the person in charge, "Thank you for waiting here for so long. There is no need for compensation. If you still have something to do, go ahead and get busy."
"Whatever you want, you can go and do your work first. I'll just wait for you here. It'll be fine."
The person in charge waved his hands repeatedly.
Seeing that he couldn't resist, he stopped talking nonsense.
In a blink of an eye.
The three of them came to the fountain pool in the park.
The little boy pressed the switch of the Poké Ball towards the pool.
Bang!
The blue light turned into an ugly fish with purple skin and gray fins in the water, with black eye sockets, protruding cheekbones that were so thin, lips as thick as sausages, a ragged tail fin and pitted fish.
plaque.
No wonder it’s called the Chou Chou Fish.
"100% Department Store's genuine heterochromatic ugly fish, big brother, you can breed it into a heterochromatic manas." The little boy said.
The heterochromatic ugly fish swam in the pool, looking at the three humans present with dull eyes, full of unfamiliarity.
"It doesn't seem to recognize you?"
Kashiwagi observed it and saw that the ugly fish never looked at the boy, so he asked with some surprise.
"Because there are a lot of Pokémon at home, I usually have no time and need to go to various places to participate in piano competitions and banquets. I usually leave them to professional breeders to take care of them."
The boy said this very calmly.
He is really a replica of Kojiro...
Kashiwagi was a little speechless, thinking that since he didn't have time to take care of Pokémon, he kept buying all kinds of Pokémon of different colors. Is it just a collection habit?
But it's not that the boy doesn't communicate with Pokémon, he just doesn't have that much time.
Several people waited for a while, and a special machine was dragged over.
The boy put the Pokéball back into the Poké Ball and placed it on one side, while Kashiwagi connected the Pokémon Egg to the incubator and placed it on the other side.
On the small screen, the egg and the heterochromatic ugly fish quickly completed the exchange.
The boy generously connected the luxurious ball and gave it to Kashiwagi, bowed slightly and said:
"I still have a violin competition to participate in. I'm sorry."
"Goodbye by fate."
Kashiwagi didn't pay attention either. At this time, all his attention was focused on the heterochromatic ugly fish.
He released the heterochromatic ugly fish into the pool again.
Plop~
The heterochromatic ugly fish was swimming in the water, and it felt that someone was observing it, staring at him with dead fish eyes like a polygonal animal.
One person and one fish look at each other.
"Hello?"
"..."
"I am your trainer now, can you understand?"
"..."
"It seems that communication is difficult..."
The former silently took out the elf ball and said warmly: "I'm sorry, there are still people waiting for me. Let's put the communication aside for a while."
"Boo~"
The ugly fish blew bubbles with a very puzzled expression.
——
In front of the police station.
Kashiwagi ran back all the way and found that the person in charge was still waiting, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
"It's okay, it's okay. Just finish your work and you'll be fine."
The person in charge was still smiling, "Are you free now? Looking for a place to chat?"
"OK."
The two of them came to a coffee shop.
But seeing that Kashiwagi didn't actually have much to talk about, and didn't pay much attention to the so-called compensation, the person in charge got straight to the point.
"Our boss Yashida appreciates you very much and hopes to let me pass this on to you."
A letter was pushed over.
Kashiwagi picked it up and found that it was an invitation letter, inviting him to participate in the Hoenn Brain Development Campaign Conference.
Invitation letter.
It is also a letter of permission to challenge the Kanto Battle Zone.
"Expand your mind..."
He murmured softly.
In the animation, the battle development zone that originally belonged to the Hoenn region was set up in the Kanto region, and the seven pioneering minds changed from Hoenn people to Kanto people. However, the battle development zone in Hoenn was not launched until the animation journey.
And this invitation letter from Yahida confirmed the other party's preparations to set up a battle development zone in the Hoenn region.
After Kanto and Sinnoh, he is about to attack Hoenn.
Although he did not plan to become a pioneer of ideas, Kashiwagi accepted the invitation anyway. If he is bored later, it would be good to go and join in the fun.
The person in charge waited patiently for so long just to hand the invitation letter into his hands.
In addition to the invitation letter, the so-called compensation also includes a membership card, which shows that as long as the company under Yaxida can get a discount on anything sold.
Kashiwagi happily accepted it.
Parting with the person in charge who breathed a sigh of relief.
He first went to the Pokémon Center to do a detailed physical examination of the Chou Chou Fish. After confirming that the guy had no injuries and was in good condition, he quickly returned to the B&B.
The man at the front desk saw him returning and asked quickly:
"Did you get the Pokémon egg?"
"Some small changes happened, and I can't explain it in a sentence or two... I'm going to the backyard pool. You can come and take a look when you have time." Kashiwagi responded, and quickly walked to the backyard to provide fish treasures for tenants to feed.
A dreamy pool.
He opened the Poke Ball.
Bang!
A flash of white light.
At first glance, it makes people think that this fish is poisonous. The heterochromatic ugly fish fell into the pond.
"Hello."
Kashiwagi squatted by the pool, holding a Poké Cube in his hand, and handed it over with a smile.
The Chou Chou Fish, who was still a little dull just now, seemed to have finally come to his senses. Looking at the completely unfamiliar person in front of him, he was a little timid and did not dare to step forward.
"The reaction speed is a bit confusing, and my personality is timid..."
He was not impatient, crushed the Poké Cube into powder and threw it into the pool, then took out the second one and put it on the water.
The high-quality Poké Cubes exude an addictive fragrance, and the Chou Chou Fish is not immune to it. It opens its thick fish lips and sucks in the scattered Poké Cube powder.
After eating the food, its mental state quickly became full, and it dared to swim quietly to the Poké Cube handed over by Kashiwagi, and sucked it in small mouthfuls.
Apparently this guy eats in the same way as normal fish, relying entirely on sucking it through his mouth.
After eating five Poké Cubes in its mouth in a row, the Ugly Fish quickly forgot its previous unpleasantness, swaying its tail and letting Kashiwagi caress its smooth body surface.
"Hmm... Ugly and cute."
Kashiwagi had to admit that the Ugly Fish became a little bit cute unexpectedly after it became more agile.
It's actually a slow characteristic. No wonder the reaction was so slow just now.
Kashiwagi looked at Ugly Fish's skill pool, and he wasn't too surprised. Before Ugly Fish evolved, it was basically the same as Magikarp, unable to learn other moves.
Except for impact and madness, the last three are egg moves, and the last three must have been learned by the boy's breeder with the help of the ugly fish.
"Do you want it to evolve now?"
He thought of the beautiful scales in his pocket and hesitated.
This thing is a one-time use. If it is used by Chou Chou Fish to evolve into Heterochromic Menas, the beautiful scales will no longer exist.
Will the heterochromatic Menas still bring him the same good luck by then?
If he keeps his lucky scales, he might be able to take the opportunity to meet Lugia in the future and complete the superficial task assigned to him by Shanmin...
Kashiwagi couldn't help but hesitate a little.
Before getting the Ugly Fish, he could still imagine using these beautiful scales to evolve the Ugly Fish if he encountered it, but when he actually got it in his hands, he started to feel reluctant to part with it.
How about getting an ordinary beautiful scale? Anyway, this thing is said to be precious, but in fact it is not particularly precious.
Even if you can't buy it in department stores, you can get it through other channels.
When hesitating.
Manchong walked over quickly and saw the different-colored Ugly Fish in the pool. He was quite surprised and said: "The different-colored Pokémon! Are they hatched from Pokémon eggs?"
"Actually, it was an exchange."
Kashiwagi briefly described what happened just now.
"I see, I really want to hunt the Papilio butterfly... I understand this feeling. When I chased the round land shark, I also thought that I had to catch it, so I chased three mountains to conquer it.
Woolen cloth!"
Manchong nodded in agreement, then looked at the ugly fish with different colors in the pool, "The ugly fish with different colors...I wonder how Kashiwagi-san plans to let it evolve?"
"Huh? How do you say it?"
"Don't Ugly Fish evolve in two ways? One is to evolve naturally when it becomes beautiful enough, and the other is to evolve through the connection and exchange of beautiful scales..."
"I know, I want to ask what difference these two kinds of evolution will bring."
"Woo."
Seeing Kashiwagi's serious expression, Manmitsu's excitement suddenly weakened. He hesitated and whispered: "I just said this, I can't guarantee that it is correct - many people think that the previous evolution
The charm of the Meenas that comes out is much stronger than the latter one!"
This is no nonsense. The former one is based on the evolution of beauty. Can it be beautiful... eh.
Kashiwagi was about to retort when he suddenly realized that most of the animation world has downplayed the setting of beauty, "Is that so?"
After all, the gorgeous competition has become different.
Beauty has become "fuzzy" from its original clear value, just like Pokémon that have evolved intimacy, which is evidenced by the heart and expressed externally or internally.
Why not let the heterochromatic ugly fish evolve based on their beauty?
During this period, you can also cultivate a friendly relationship between him and the ugly fish, and make this guy become more confident and no longer as timid as before.
This thought quickly took root in Kashiwagi's heart.
There are too many individuals in the team that need to grow, not to mention that at the current level of the Chou Chou Fish, even if it evolves, it may not be of much use.
Level is a very important element even in animation.
At most, I'll use it in a gorgeous competition.
But it is currently so "poor" that it probably won't see many changes.
Furthermore, most of the glamorous competitions in the Hoenn region are single-player mode. Will the up-and-coming Pokémon give the opportunity to perform to a new Pokémon?
Leave it to the Geely Egg, and Bosco Dora might still be possible.
If there was a "fair" competition, even the heterochromatic Menas would probably not be able to get the right to play.
Take your time.
Kashiwagi knows that many things cannot be rushed, and everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. The veteran team members still have a lot of problems and things that need to be solved by themselves.
In addition, it is also very important to let the Uglyfish get familiar with the other Pokémon in the team.
