Richly dressed gentlemen and ladies came and went, talking and laughing softly with drinks in hand.
The Pokémon with their fur dotted with jewels look proud and show off their most beautiful side to the people around them.
Huge screens were hung all over the hall, showing various scenes in the desert, with people surging around them.
A man who looked like a host stood in the center, holding a microphone and laughing:
"Dear guests, the game is about to begin. I would like to invite our distinguished Mayor of Silicon Beryllium City, Mr. Ergin!"
Gentlemen and ladies applauded enthusiastically.
On the second floor of the hall, a short old man with frost-white temples held a short staff and a generous smile on his face, and walked slowly to the first floor accompanied by a Slow King.
The host jogged over with a smile and handed the microphone under Ergin's mouth.
Erjin smiled kindly and said: "Everyone, it's another year of charity Pokémon battle conference. I believe you all can't wait. As the mayor and chairman of the battle conference, I would like to express my gratitude to all the charity pioneers. .”
Bang bang bang bang——
The applause was even louder.
Ergin continued: "As we all know, the environment in Huangtie Town is extremely harsh. There are all kinds of children living in dire straits and living a precarious life. I believe that our donations this year will be used more effectively. Improve their lives!”
"aweason!"
"Lord Ergin is so compassionate!"
"What mercy! Lord Ergin is simply a reincarnated saint!"
The gentlemen expressed their praise loudly, and the ladies wiped the corners of their eyes with handkerchiefs.
Erjin's smile widened, and he raised his right hand slightly and pressed it, "Thank you for your compliments. I have only done a trivial job. Here, please allow me to be the first to set an example and donate to charity in a private name. 100 million for the conference!”
Hua la la la——
Thunderous applause.
"Lord Ergin is so talented! I'm here to help you, and I'd like to give you 70 million!"
"Okay! I'll give you 30 million!"
"I'll give you 40 million!"
People in the upper class rushed to invest their own money, and everyone who spoke and donated would receive Ergin's approving eyes.
Many people blushed with excitement, looking like they had been cheated by their idols.
in the corner.
The man holding the red wine glass looked indifferent, as if he was watching some kind of performance.
This so-called charity conference is undoubtedly a means for the mayor of Siberyllium City to collude with some of the Yakuza forces in Huangtie Town to make money.
The entrepreneurs and plutocrats present had no choice but to participate in it, voluntarily or not, in order to flatter them. They took a day's free time to watch this dirty Pokémon battle competition.
charitable?
Charity will not allow thirty children to fight without scruples with the ultimate goal of obtaining money, and will not allow surrender or abstention.
Safety measures?
No.
Rules against vital attacks?
nor.
All the rules are in order to make this game "real". People and Pokémon are thrown into a cage called the arena at will, and there are even so-called designated rewards——
The man clenched his right fist so tightly that his knuckles turned white, but he was unable to change all this, and even had to join in.
Because he is also a vested interest, the constraints of his family and career make him resist hypocritically in his heart, shouting in his mind to clear up injustice, and fantasize about his lofty ambition to try to change the Orei region.
Many entrepreneurs who have been ripped off have the right to despise all this, but he does not.
Ole.
In this corner of the Pokémon world, in this distant land far away from other areas, when will you be able to see your truly clear sky?
"Gulu!"
The man drank the red wine in one gulp, quickly joined the crowd, stretched out his index finger and shouted: "I am willing to give away 50 million!"
Bang bang bang bang——
The amount is set in advance, and it will be returned when the payment is completed, and by the way, he will also receive his share of the donation.
The money of the "gentry" was returned in full, and the money of the "common people" was divided into 30-70 accounts.
Amidst the applause, the depressed man looked up at the screen and soon locked onto a slightly familiar figure.
Um……
Did you also participate?
So, after a week has passed and you have enjoyed the treatment of a formal member, can you still have the sincerity you had before?
The man withdrew from this carnival that belonged to the sheep and the farmer, found a seat in the viewing gallery and sat down, waiting for the start of the game.
——
desert.
The game enters the countdown stage.
Both participating teams were taken to the entrance. First, their bodies and backpacks were searched, and all items that could contact the outside world were prohibited.
Wear the bracelet according to the rules, and take turns to introduce themselves under the arrangement of the organizer, as well as talk trash and show off your power before the start of the game.
Kashiwagi didn't mean to be too showy and just said a few words and then got off, but the others seemed to want to please the 'audience' and did their best to express themselves.
When he finished, Otsuka also expressed regret that the content was too small, and if it was not remembered by the audience, it would be easy for him not to receive rewards.
Turn around.
It was the turn of Ken of the Dog Team to take the microphone. With a sneer, he looked at everyone in the Quicksand Team and said something that shocked them and made the audience extremely excited.
"One of you is very capable and can come to me and ask me to remove the leg of one of you."
"Ha, take off the legs? Hahahahaha! It's the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
Jian laughed wildly, "Don't worry, don't worry! I will slowly grab each of the fifteen of you, break your arm, crush it, and bite you again when you cry for your mother."
Cut your throats!"
The ferocious and twisted face and the undisguised murderous intention aroused the cheers of those who were watching the excitement and did not mind the trouble.
Everyone in the Quicksand Team looked gloomy. How many of them could swallow this breath after being provoked like this?
No matter how much fear I have in my heart, I can't show it on my face right now.
"A clumsy stratagem to divorce! Don't believe him, everyone!"
"You're right! How can he deal with fifteen of us by himself? It's just a tough talk!"
"Are your vicious dog teams only powerful with their mouths? They bark non-stop?"
The yelling and cursing quickly received feedback from the Vicious Dog Team.
"What the hell did you say?"
"If you have the guts, let's talk about it! Those who are raised in paper!"
Seeing that the trash talk session was about to turn into meaningless scolding, the organizer immediately ran out to stop it, causing both parties to start attacking their opponents with their eyes.
In the crowd, Kashiwagi looked at Jian across from him, and Jian stared at him for six or seven seconds before he sneered and looked away.
Direct enough.
It seems that he is the one who is going to have his legs removed, but who commissioned it?
Kashiwagi looked around curiously, taking in all the shock, suspicion, panic and anger.
"I see……"
He rubbed his chin and had a general understanding of the current situation.
Otsuka on the side began to panic as the game approached, and couldn't help but said: "Kashiwagi, we..."
"Don't panic, you said it yourself, if you can't beat him, run away," he patted Otsuka on the shoulder to show his relief.
If there is a surplus of energy like the team entrance examination, Kashiwagi doesn't mind helping this young man.
But there was really nothing he could do to help. The coach from the Dog Team was obviously targeting him. Even though he said he would "treat everyone equally," who knows if he was lying.
It is very possible to set off a smoke bomb and then make a special trip to catch him.
You must first ensure your own safety.
Kashiwagi shook hands with a Poké Ball and watched silently as everyone in the Quicksand Team put on eye masks with the help of one staff member after another and stepped into the container-like "cabin" one by one.
Once the goggles are in place, you can't take them off until the bracelet rings. If you take them off early, it's against the rules.
No one will be stupid at this time.
Next door, there are also staff members of the Dog Team in action.
When it was Otsuka's turn in front of him, Kashiwagi turned his head and looked at the next door, and happened to catch Ken's eyes.
"Hey!"
Jian smiled ferociously and made a motion of slitting his throat.
His expression remained unchanged as he watched Otsuka and Otsuka in front of him walk into different cabins. When the staff arrived in front of him, he suddenly turned around and smiled at Saruwatari behind him.
"Good luck."
"Ah? Well... you're lucky too." Saruwatari forced a smile back.
