Even if this kind of alms-like words are true, they are extremely unpleasant.
But with the addition of Kokodora, Kashiwagi suddenly had the illusion that insisting for three minutes was not a dream.
pity.
"Not at all! No time for discussion!"
Kashiwagi tried his best to dodge the strange force's fist and threw Cocodora far away.
Although the opponent did not give him a chance to discuss, there were obvious signs of letting go. For example, only the bottom two of the four fists were used, the intensity of the attack was reduced, and no moves were used.
Anti-Cocodora?
Perhaps we should lean towards the mercy of the strange force.
What's the purpose of this? Simply asking him to come over and beat him up? How is that possible? How can the top cadres have so much time to spare?
"Look for an opportunity to hit its feet!"
Kashiwagi shouted, twisting and dodging the incoming left punch, but failed to avoid its lightning-like right hook, which was so fast that a faint light flashed through it.
Bang!
"ha!"
After the indescribable dullness, severe pain poured into his mind from his lower abdomen. Kashiwagi's back hit the iron mesh of the octagonal cage heavily, and his body suddenly bent like a boiled river shrimp, and his teeth almost bit his tongue.
What a fast combo!
This guy's level is definitely not low!
Protect your chin!
He hurriedly raised his arms, and then a hot feeling and a huge push came from his right arm. The former quickly turned into a heart-breaking pain. The burning feeling was like a muscle being torn, and his whole body also felt...
Fall to the ground.
Snapped.
His body trembled several times.
The thoughts in my mind are very beautiful, such as counterattack with blood, tacit cooperation with Cocodora, and even using [Reckless] to defeat the monster.
But in a serious confrontation, he couldn't even walk for half a minute and didn't even have a chance to signal.
Not far away, Kokodora saw Kashiwagi being knocked down and hurriedly attacked the monster. Unexpectedly, the opponent looked like it had eyes on the back of its head. Not only did it easily dodge it, but it also grabbed its head with one hand and lifted it up.
"Awesome~"
Guai Li casually used his other hand to block the mud spitted out by Cocodola.
【Throwing mud】A fool's face? You have to hit the target.
"Ahem...put it down...I give up."
Kashiwagi raised his body with difficulty, his shaking heart and sore right arm leaving him speechless.
But he still forced himself to pull off the glove with his mouth, and used his last bit of strength to quickly pull Kokodora back into the Poké Ball under the puzzled gaze of Wei Li.
After doing this, he shrunk the elf ball and protected it in his arms, curled up to protect his vitals, and slapped the ring hard with his right hand.
This is what it means to admit defeat.
I chose to give up because I saw the gap between the two sides. If I continued fighting, I would just get beaten in vain. Although I had some confidence in my physical fitness, if my spleen ruptured, I would die on the spot.
There was silence.
Kashiwagi, who had not received a response for a long time, heard the strong man's voice.
"Get up."
He straightened up slowly and saw the strong man squatting in front of him. He placed the kettle and towel in front of him. The distance between them was less than one meter. Wei Li quietly left the octagonal cage.
The strong man asked: "Is there anything you want to say?"
Kashiwagi didn't drink water, but wiped the painful sweat from his face with a towel, "...No."
"Weak people have no right to speak. What do you think of this sentence?"
"truth."
"You made Chester lose face, hurt his subordinates, and hindered his plan. The team will definitely deal with you in the future. What are you going to do?"
"...resistance."
"Ha, are you resisting like this today?"
"..."
"The reason why you are safe now is because someone above you has a good impression of you."
The strong man sat down carelessly, as if he was not the one who tricked the person just now, and said with a normal expression: "But that person's attention is limited. The day he forgets you, you will die."
"...please help me point the way."
Kashiwagi endured the cramping in his abdominal muscles and tried to be sincere.
"Next week, we have a Pokémon competition with the Vicious Dogs. If you win, you will be the team leader of the Sand Team. I will support you from now on. If you lose, you will have to figure it out yourself. Is there any problem?"
The strong man's tone was extremely calm, but when his eyes swept over his body, he gave people a terrifying and oppressive feeling of being stared at by a ring bear.
Extremely dangerous!
You may be attacked at any time, run away!
Kashiwagi felt his heart beating violently and took a deep breath: "No, Lord Soshiro."
"Um?"
"...Boss."
"Well, go ahead."
Amid Sōshiro's unceremonious eviction action, he clutched his abdomen and left the ring.
Kaili, who was replenishing his body with water, looked at his leaving figure, then glanced at Soshiro who was wondering what he was thinking in the octagonal cage, and sighed helplessly.
I have been using this routine for so many years and I never feel tired of it.
Speaking of which, that young man was really good at hiding, so he couldn't help but add some bullets and punches to his attack before he hit.
Talent.
The talent we lack most.
outside the door.
Kashiwagi didn't go far when he saw the leader.
"Hey, did you get beaten?"
The leader didn't seem surprised by his miserable appearance, and said with a smile: "Who was beaten by him? How many punches did he receive?"
"...Strange strength, two punches."
"My endurance is not good. It needs to be improved. You have to practice in this area. Whether you are a younger brother or a trainer, what can you do if you can't get beaten?"
The leader walked to a vending machine on the side of the road, bought two bottles of energy drinks, threw one to him, "Please."
"Thanks."
Kashiwagi reached out to catch it, thought for a moment, opened it and drank.
The cold drink slid down the esophagus, and the comfortable feeling made the pain in the abdomen lessen.
"These words may not be appropriate for me to say." The leader suddenly said, "But since the boss is willing to see you, it means that he actually appreciates you."
"Um."
"I'm doing this for your own good, so that you can stay calm and don't let down his expectations."
"I know."
"As long as you know... you can just wander around. There are many interesting places in the dungeon. I'll leave first if I have something else to do." The leader threw the finished drink bottle to the ground and left in a hurry.
wait--
Kashiwagi still remembered the information, but the other party left very quickly, turning left and disappearing.
He had no choice but to stay where he was, staring at the rough cement floor in a daze.
Hundreds of meters away.
The leader opened a door and got in.
"How about it?"
Someone came up and asked.
The leader shook his head, "I don't know how to describe it. In short, this child may be different from those we have known before."
"I just hope that I don't hate the boss too much. The boss is the same. He does this every time he meets someone he admires. It's like pushing people away."
The man sighed.
"Hate shouldn't be the case. I think that kid is quite smart." The leader sighed.
There was nothing they could do when they encountered such a boss who frequently acted in slutty ways.
But don’t these younger brothers exist just to solve the boss’s problems?
The world is tough.
——
Bang.
The Poké Ball opens.
Cocodola landed on the ground and rushed anxiously to Kashiwagi's feet.
"Gu! Gu!"
"It's okay, it's okay, we're all fine, don't panic."
He knelt down and stroked his head and back constantly to make the little guy relax.
The physique of humans in the Pokémon world is indeed unusual.
When I was punched, I felt like I was going to die, and I could still see some bruises when I opened my clothes. Now everything is gone, my arms are no longer sore or bloated, and my stomach feels better.
Seeing that he was indeed safe, Kokodola finally calmed down, raised her head and let out a soft cry.
"Gu?"
"Well...you ask why you were beaten? It's very simple, because it is a way to control people, called workplace PUA. Use words or violence to break your self-esteem, and then treat you a little more friendly and say something
It's all for your own good..."
Kashiwagi patted its head helplessly.
Beating you because I admire you, beating you until you are miserable and then giving you a chance is like giving you a sweet date with a slap.
Kokodola was a little angry when she heard this.
"Goo!"
"You say he is a bad guy? Well, judging from the current situation, he is indeed bad. But people are not that easy to characterize."
Kashiwagi shook his head, "Of course he used that method to deal with us, but given his status, he is willing to spend time to use means against nobodies like us, which is a kind of straightforward appreciation.
"Not to mention that he will most likely keep his word to protect us. Therefore, his workplace PUA this time was quite successful. We both really got a beating and we still have to think about his good deeds."
Cocodora showed an incomprehensible expression.
It really couldn't understand it now.
"You don't need to understand too much. In short, in this land, the only ones who can maintain absolute trust are the two of us. Everyone else has one purpose or another." Kashiwagi did not explain more and held him in his arms.
Cocodora nuzzled back gently.
Sōshiro's method is undoubtedly a naked conspiracy.
Even if Kashiwagi saw what he was doing, he would have to admit the other party's boss status.
But the discomfort is also real.
Who wants to be punched twice for nothing?
However, he is positioned as the eldest brother of the faction, the kind who cuts off people from Tsim Sha Tsui to Causeway Bay in Hong Kong movies. How can he convince the public with good means?
Giving both kindness and power is the last word.
As for what Soshiro said to him, Kashiwagi admitted that he was used to judging a gentleman with a villain's heart, so he had reservations about the authenticity.
It may not be false, and it may not be entirely true.
Sometimes, nine truths and one falsehood can also make people lose their ability to judge.
There is no soil for good people to grow in a place like Huangtie Town, and it is not a true new town or Weibai Town. Staying vigilant at all times is a guarantee for your own safety.
Did Chester, one of the top cadres, really want to kill him? Are the troublemakers on the ground arranged by the team?
What plan did he hinder? Could it be that people like Shibata were also entrusted with important tasks?
Someone above him has a good impression of him. Who can be called "top" by Soshiro? Are they the group of "crocodiles" behind the quicksand team?
Is it because of that person that Ishigaki's arrogant attitude?
There's also a game next week.
The Quicksand Team and the Vicious Dog Team have always been considered hostile forces. The conflict between the two sides was basically forged over the competition for the mines, and as various events escalated, they became incompatible.
He had just obtained Pokémon not long ago, so his chances of winning were worrying.
"There are many crises."
Kashiwagi held Kokodora's chin, "I didn't expect that becoming a formal member would cause more trouble than when I was a minion."
At least the only enemy during the minions period was Shibata.
