Kashiwagi took Coco Dora around for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what specific divisions it had and what they were used for.
The key point is that many places have locked doors, and various neon lights of unknown meaning are flashing non-stop. They probably won’t open until night, and they don’t look like any normal stores——
The bunny girl, gold coins and other patterns on the signboard prove a lot.
"Ah! You are here!"
The sudden shout startled Kashiwagi, and he turned around to see two blurry figures approaching rapidly.
Just as he was about to escape with Cocodola, the face of the visitor was already exposed in the flashing colored lights.
Rice hair and brown skin, a slightly larger mouth, and an ordinary appearance, but he has long legs that support a head of 1.8 meters. His body is as strong as a human-shaped cool leopard, and he has a wild and uninhibited smile on his face.
But Kashiwagi is more concerned about her behind.
What a big swamp king!
He couldn't help but sigh secretly. After all, it is rare for a Swamp King to grow to 1.8 meters. Its body is wider than a human, making it as thick as a wall. It looks quite scary at first glance...
Okay, actually more silly than usual.
"Good morning, Ayana-sama."
Kashiwagi withdrew his gaze and hurriedly said hello to the woman in front of him. He was one of the four cadres of the Sand Group, because he was known as a kind person among the lower-level minions.
"Your name is Kashiwagi, right?"
Ayana observed for a moment, then stepped forward and grabbed his arm without waiting for his answer, "Follow me! It's just you!"
"Lady Ayana——"
"Call me Sister! And don't talk nonsense! Just follow me and that's it. If you talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up!"
The serious words made Kashiwagi shut his mouth. He turned to look at Kokodora and found that the latter was held in the arms of the huge Swamp King, swinging his four short legs in a slight panic.
When their eyes touched, Cocodola gradually calmed down.
Obviously, after just a few days of getting along, the two parties have already established a certain relationship of trust.
Lean less.
Ayana led Cypress through many alleys and approached a place that resembled a basketball court. There were huge searchlights illuminating it from all directions, and there were neat barbed wire fences separating it from the walkways.
It's a battleground.
Kashiwagi looked inside and suddenly saw many men and women dressed as team members fighting each other using their Pokémon.
Different from the usual animation system where trainers stand on the edge of the field, those people are not only standing inside the field, but also not far away from the Pokémon.
He knew that this was a characteristic of Huangtie Town and even the entire Olei region, that is, the fighting style of the special episode where trainers and Pokémon fight together.
"Stop! Stop it all!"
Ayana let go of Kashiwagi's arm and clapped vigorously, "Come and gather!"
When the quicksand players in the battle heard this, they ordered their Pokémon to stop and quickly move closer.
Kashiwagi took back the Cocodora from the King of Numa, and his eyes met with the young men and women standing in a row.
Just a simple count, there are about a dozen people.
They look about the same age as him, around fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes and a well-proportioned and tall figure. Most of their skin is rough and dark, with traces of exposure to wind and sun.
Obviously not all of them come from powerful families.
Their Pokémon are of different types. Their strength is unknown but they are full of energy. Even when the battle is interrupted, they show no signs of panting or exhaustion. They exude the aura of having experienced hundreds of battles, as if they are the result of careful training.
Special team?
No, is it a team specially assembled to fight against the Dogs next week?
Kashiwagi suddenly understood the reason why he was dragged here, but was it planned in advance to let him join the team?
As a person who has just become a formal member, does he have this value?
He didn't understand what the elder brothers and sisters of the sand group were thinking, so he could only try to think of the best, such as that the other party admired him.
"Why are you standing there stunned! Say hello! There is no need for me to rush you!"
Ayana lightly kicked his calf.
"Uh, good morning, everyone." Kashiwagi said hello to a group of boys and girls with mixed eyes.
Immediately afterwards, there was a chorus of applause.
Ayana looked at this scene with satisfaction, "He is Kashiwagi, one of the people participating in the battle next week, your temporary teammate, remember to get along well with each other."
After that, the eldest sister left with King Numa, not intending to introduce these people to Kashiwagi, let alone tell him what he should do.
Boys, girls and Pokémon stood in neat formation until the last second when Ayana disappeared, and the moment when no one was seen, they suddenly relaxed.
"Ah, it's so troublesome."
"I've already used my move just now. Do you hear that I count you as the loser?"
"What a loser! Who saw it! Where is the evidence? Bring out the evidence!"
Everyone turned around and left without any thought of talking to Kashiwagi.
Kashiwagi took the initiative to talk to them, but no one responded and they all ignored him.
xenophobic?
Have you offended them?
He walked to the edge with Cocodola, and suddenly heard a sneer. He became more aware of his situation, and silently observed their battle, lowering his head to say something to Cocodola from time to time.
The latter would often nod in understanding, his bright blue eyes looking around, and it was unclear whether he understood.
More than ten minutes passed.
This kind of self-entertainment gradually attracted the attention of those people.
Regardless of whether the rejection just now was deliberate or spontaneous, at this moment, Kashiwagi once again received scrutiny from the surrounding people.
"Hey! What are you doing?" A tall man with yellow hair came over and asked aggressively.
Kashiwagi replied: "Let's see you fight."
"Who allowed you to see? Who allowed you to come in? Get out!" The man scolded, and Dun Jia beside him let out a threatening roar.
"Dah!"
"Goo!"
Kokodora pushed back the voice without any sign of weakness. The size difference between the two was huge, but there was no trace of fear on its face.
"Oh! You know how to protect the master, you are a good Pokémon. If you give it to me, I will forgive you!" The man chuckled, his eyes always staying on Kashiwagi.
Obviously this person has no interest in Cocodola and just made up an excuse to find trouble.
Extremely Taoist...
Although Kashiwagi never had high expectations for the internal order of the Quicksand Team, he was getting tired of being made trouble time and time again.
"If I don't give it, what are you going to do?"
He said indifferently.
The almost contemptuous tone immediately ignited the anger of the troublemaker. The man quickly came up and grabbed Kashiwagi's collar, "Huh!? You are so arrogant. Who do you think you are? I don't know which horn pimple popped out of it.
The newbie!"
"Oh, then which stinking ditch did you come from?"
He grabbed the man's wrist with his backhand, and gradually tightened his grip like a pair of pliers. The man's face quickly turned red, and he gritted his teeth and remained silent.
If I can't defeat the strange force, I can't defeat you? Do you really think that the reputation of Qingyi Street's leader is just a boast?
"Go and cause trouble for the Dogs if you can. We will definitely win the game next week? Is Wo Liheng very capable? Nothing!" He pulled the man's hand apart as easily as breaking the joints of a plastic toy.
"Dah!"
Realizing that the trainer was hurt, Dunjia rushed over, but as soon as he got close, he was knocked back by a silver figure.
Bang!
The height difference between the two Pokémon was more than double, but they were stuck in a stalemate.
"What the hell -" The man covered his painful wrist, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared on the spot before raising his fist and swinging at Kashiwagi's face.
The latter was planning to catch him and punch him back, but he suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eye and stopped moving immediately.
And the fist that the man swung was also caught by one hand.
"Otsuka, you seem to like to turn a deaf ear to our words." The faint voice made the blood in the man's eyes fade, and cold sweat gradually flowed from his forehead.
"Big, big sister..."
Otsuka lowered his head, not daring to look at Ayana's cold face.
"Or do you have any objections to the boss's arrangements? Do you have your own ideas? Yes, you can speak out if you dare."
"I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!"
Otsuka knelt down directly, his forehead pressed to the ground, and he screamed at the top of his lungs.
And his Pokémon Dungeon was also suppressed by the giant Swamp King with its honest smile, and was completely unable to move.
The mountain-like momentum intimidated Cocodola.
Ayana ignored Otsuka who was kneeling and looked at Kashiwagi who was staying away from the incident, "What about you?"
He was stunned for a moment, pointed at himself, and said: "Do I want to kneel too? Okay, then it's as you wish..."
"Tsk, okay, okay, just pretending." Ayana waved her hand impatiently, "It's just as annoying as those glasses!"
Kashiwagi, who had no intention of kneeling in the first place, immediately straightened up.
"Listen up, you brats! I don't care who you like or hate, no matter who is standing behind you, if we lose the game against the Dogs and let others see the joke of our sand team, every one of you will count! "
Ayana nodded everyone with her finger, "Go mine underground for me all! Dig until you die! No one will be spared! If you are dissatisfied, come to me! Or ask the people behind you to come to me! Do you understand?" ?”
His voice was as loud as a lion's roar, making people's hearts tremble.
"I understand!"
A chorus of responses.
then.
Ayana left with the Swamp King again, but the originally lively atmosphere in the venue had become extremely depressed.
Otsuka was still kneeling, but his whole body was shaking.
Kashiwagi noticed that many eyes around him changed from indifferent to dissatisfied. It seemed that Ayana's warning made these people who had nowhere to vent their anger choose to target him.
I'm afraid that the hatred will become worse in the future.
In this case……
Suddenly.
He has an idea.
Kashiwagi squatted in front of Otsuka and poked his arm, "How long are you going to kneel down?"
Otsuka turned his head, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes full of tears, "It's all your fault, it's all you -"
"Yes, I did it all, so what?"
He spread his hands nonchalantly, "But what can you do to me? Beat me up now? Can you beat me?"
Otsuka said angrily, "You!"
"You can't beat me, you can't do anything to me. Are you unwilling? In that case, please come and please me."
Kashiwagi smiled, "Otherwise, I will sneak up on you during the game, and I will disrupt the situation."
"……ha?"
"Anyway, I have nothing to begin with. Some of you in this group hope to make it to the top in one step, right? Some people have rich family backgrounds and hope to take a step further this time."
He raised his voice and looked directly at the stunned Otsuka, but he knew that everyone in the venue was looking at him.
"So let's all get along well and make each other happy, otherwise I don't know what I will do during the game when I am so distraught and angry.
"Of course you can find a way to kill me in the next two days, and bet on the outcome of the action, and on the reaction of hitting the boss and their faces. It's nothing more than death or digging mines for the rest of your life."
Kashiwagi's threat made many dissatisfied people look stunned. This kind of fish-and-death approach has been thought by everyone, but no one has ever dared to actually use it to threaten others.
Because nine times out of ten, they are all nonsense and harsh words that cannot be used to save face.
Yes.
Absolutely.
A strange atmosphere gradually developed in the venue.
"——Just kidding, don't be so nervous. It's as if I'm threatening everyone. They're all teammates! Good brothers! Isn't it natural to get along well with each other?"
Kashiwagi, who was full of smiles, spoke again, ignoring the silence around him, and helped the sluggish Otsuka up and dusted him off.
"Look at how messy you are, you are still sixteen years old, right? How can this go on?"
Turn your gaze.
He finally looked at everyone, facing the various eyes with a warm and sincere smile.
"Let me introduce myself again, everyone! I am Kashiwagi! Kashiwagi from Qingyi Street! Please give me your advice in the next week!"
Kashiwagi bowed slightly, and his loud voice surrounded the entire venue, surrounded by expressions of tension, shock, seriousness and vigilance.
Since being targeted by a group is unavoidable, then detonate it.
The situation couldn't be worse than this.
far away.
Under a shadowed house, the reflection of the lens disappeared.
