It is completely incomparable to the Rockets, a very large criminal organization that spans several regions.
Therefore, its method of recruiting new members is not as well prepared as the Rockets, and even seems a bit rough.
The danger also greatly exceeded the Rockets' assessment.
"Your mission is very simple. There are scattered jade mines deep in the mine. Find jade of any shape, take it out and hand it over to me. The time limit is until the sun rises tomorrow morning."
A tall, rugged man held a piece of white jade and shouted at the gangsters in front of him. Next to him was a short-legged long-nosed elephant wearing heavy armor - Dunjia let out a deep roar.
not far away.
Several bottomless abandoned pits exude a cold and claustrophobic atmosphere, and the unpleasant smell of dust irritates everyone's nostrils.
"It's an abandoned mine again. People will die, right?"
"People will definitely die in a place that is not maintained regularly. What are you thinking about? Didn't two people die last year?"
"What should I do if I can't find the jade mine in the depths?"
"Can I dig one outside?"
"You should first care about whether you can come out alive. I heard that there are Pokémon inside that will attack you!"
"No..."
Kashiwagi in the crowd listened to the noisy sounds around him and couldn't help but touch the iron ingot hidden in his chest.
This thing is not difficult to obtain in Huangtie Town. As a peripheral member of the Quicksand Team, he can easily get it by going to the smelting factory and talking.
He is mainly curious about how this thing will work in the future.
Yesterday's second simulation, the fixed talents have not changed. In terms of talent selection, there is less of a hot-blooded boy and more of "Never Give Up (Won't Abandon Pokémon)".
After suffering a big loss in [Peach Blossoms], he would not turn back unless he lost his brain, so he changed to [Rough Hands and Feet (Pokémon Health Management is Rough)].
If health management is rough, you can slowly grow and improve during travel. Most trainers start from scratch, but it is too much for them to fall in love that only drags them down.
In the animation, from the champions to the Four Heavenly Kings, to the gym trainers, among the younger generation, how many of them are there to date?
It was only when Kukui was old enough that he fell in love and got married.
It explains a lot.
The classic shorts boy from Nibi City, which started with Rattata, came into being. His progress was as unsatisfactory as that of the bug-catching boy. Fighting in the gym relied on luck and blood. The difference was that he caught many of the same Pokémon...
For example, repeatedly catching multiple Rattata, Bobo, etc.
You said he was picking strong individuals, but the boys in shorts put them all on the ground, training and fighting with rain and dew on the ground. As a result, the overall strength has not been improved much, and it is extremely difficult to advance.
Therefore, even without the drag of love, I had to stop when I barely reached the sixth gym and experienced the torture of eight battles and eight defeats.
Even with the pixelated style, Kashiwagi could tell that the boy in shorts was so excited that he was still stuck in the sixth gym until the beginning of the tournament.
Kashiwagi was quite speechless as he still hadn't seen the door of the Quartz Convention. He chose a Pokémon below level 30 to level up and [Move: Reckless] and went to sleep.
Then welcome the next day with full energy.
Official members of Team Quicksand not only receive free Pokémon, but also receive much higher benefits than peripheral members. Although their freedom is further restricted, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
It's best to fight for it.
"Kashiwagi, aren't you nervous?"
His thoughts were interrupted by his colleague's words.
Kashiwagi turned his head and looked at the other person who was dressed strangely like a mountaineer, "I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to move around with so many."
"I think it's okay..." The man jumped twice, looking very relaxed.
It's okay now.
Kashiwagi touched the miner's hat on his head. In order to facilitate movement, he did not carry many things, such as a miner's hat, a dust mask, a manganese steel pick, as well as some necessary water, compressed food, etc.
The Quicksand Team's team entrance examination has never been a secret. They like to set up some artificial obstacles, such as putting a few Pokémon in to attack the participants, creating some traps and so on.
Therefore, flexible movement is very important.
While waiting.
There was a noise not far away.
"A poor guy like you wants to pass the exam? It makes me laugh, hahaha——"
The harsh mocking sound made Kashiwagi frown.
He looked at each other and the familiar colleagues around him and walked towards the place where the voice came from.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and an organization like the Quicksand Team that relies on force to gain status is even more prone to internal disputes.
There are countless helpless poor people like Kashiwagi in the Quicksand Team, and conversely, there are similar existences with a little money and background. Both sides have their own small groups, and they are hostile to each other and look down upon each other.
At this time, the importance of hugging together for warmth appears.
The group of people approached the source of the sound, and suddenly saw a group of guys who looked relatively clean and had different demeanor from those around them.
These gangsters pushed a relatively thin young man, laughing and joking. From time to time they glanced at the other people watching nearby. After realizing that the others did not dare to look at each other, they turned their heads proudly.
"Yo yo yo! The leader of the poor devils is here. What's going on? Support your damn poor devils. Do you have the strength?"
When the leader of the thugs saw them coming, he approached with his hands in his pockets very aggressively, aiming directly at Kashiwagi, who was the tallest and had the most stable temperament.
Unfortunately, he was one head behind the latter, so he could only raise his head and look at him again, showing provocation.
The gangsters also smiled strangely and let the thin young man go and stood in front of Kashiwagi and others.
The two sides stared at each other, as if they were fighting over a disagreement.
"You will know when there is this strength test." Kashiwagi pulled the thin young man behind him, glanced at the other party and others, and raised his hand slightly.
The gangsters were startled and took half a step back involuntarily.
When the leader saw that his companion was so timid, he couldn't help but feel angry and sneered: "Are you good at beating? Being able to beat him is of no use! When you come out to hang out, you need to talk about power and background. You little brat! Just wait and see!"
"
Say it.
He led a group of people to the other side.
The tense person next to Kashiwagi breathed a sigh of relief and began to comfort the thin young man.
"Don't be nervous, they are not strong enough to interfere with the assessment, just relax."
An older person stood up and spoke out, trying to dispel some people's potential concerns.
The name of the troublemaker was Shibata, and his uncle was considered to be a middle-level figure in the Quicksand Team - a squad leader level figure. Although his nephew still needed to participate in dangerous assessments, to them, he was already a very impressive existence.
This assessment must also create some conveniences for Shibata.
As for whether they will take action against them, there is a question mark.
The Quicksand Team is very short of people, so when the people at the bottom are fighting, the middle and higher levels set a limit that is not allowed to be exceeded, such as no loss of life, no disability and no impact on the labor force, etc.
One of the reasons why these hard-core minions dared to go against Shibata and others was because they did not believe that the other party would kill them, and they trusted the officials of the Quicksand Team to maintain the balance between the two sides.
They have never made any mistakes. As long as they stick together and fight, someone will step in to mediate, and Shibata's uncle doesn't dare to do anything to them.
However.
What about the possibility of secretly attacking them during the assessment?
Knowing that Dong Chuang will be liquidated after the incident, he still wants to attack the new blood that the Quicksand Team needs to add?
It's most ridiculous to expect the little bosses in the gang to have any big-picture perspective and to laugh away their grudges. They have their own special way of thinking.
Being a thief for a thousand days is already very scary, but guarding against thieves for a thousand days is even worse.
We must find a way to solve it once and for all...
It sounds simple, but the assessment is not easy in the first place, so there is no room left to harm Shibata.
Kashiwagi had quite a headache.
The conflict between the two parties has been irreconcilable since before the time travel, which directly stopped his idea of doing things in a low-key manner.
no way.
Shibata and others have been domineering among the peripheral minions for a long time. They bullied countless people and dismissed some people who kept to themselves as weaklings, until they met Kashiwagi and others who knew how to stick together.
With their relatively hard bones, they undoubtedly ate up Shibata and others.
The two sides also fought several times, but each time Kashiwagi resolved them with force.
Therefore, Shibata and others have always regarded them as a thorn in their side, looking for trouble every day.
Today is no exception.
In the final analysis, the laissez-faire and semi-cultivation style governance method at the top is the cause of the disaster.
A group of illiterate people with little intelligence or even education rely on their shallow family backgrounds to do whatever they want.
In Huangtie Town, where legal restraints are weak and lynching is relied on within the team, similar scenes are not uncommon.
The general environment has affected Shibata's thinking. Since he has tasted the benefits of bullying others without paying a "price", and various bad behaviors are rarely restrained, "courting the superiors and bullying the inferiors" has become the basic logic in his mind.
Fortunately, Kashiwagi has a good physique.
The human body in the Pokémon world is very interesting. It can be so weak that it can be bedridden all year round, or it can be strong enough to break rocks with its fists and break wood with its legs. It can be dueled with many fighting-type Pokémon and even use its moves.
He has been working hard in the latter direction, and now he is far ahead of his peers.
This superior physical talent made him quite happy.
"The assessment has begun! The first batch of people to go down the cave will come and check. If you have any jade, hand it over! If Dunjia smells it, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
The examiner's roar and Dunjia's moo came one after another.
