Chapter 5: Acting Foolishly

How many Pokémon did Team Quicksand stuff in?

Kashiwagi was speechless, and in less than thirty minutes, he encountered three waves of Pokémon in a row, and the last wave was even caught red-handed.

What to do?

Do you want to use a back hand?

He touched his pocket and looked nervously at Coco Dora.

But for some reason, the other party did not attack, but maintained a wait-and-see posture, and a hazy curiosity could be seen in his blue eyes.

After a stalemate of more than ten seconds, Kashiwagi, who had not waited for Coco Dora's attack, was confused for a moment, and then seemed to understand something, and slowly stretched out his hand to the neckline.

Meanwhile.

Suddenly, there was a faint buzzing sound of wings behind him.

Not good!

Those two ultrasonic larvae are back!

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and one cocodora was difficult enough, and two more ultrasonic larvae came.

Isn't this pushing him to a dead end?

Kashiwagi looked at Cocodora, who still hadn't made an attacking stance, and the ghost had the idea of embracing her in her arms and hiding it together.

Otherwise, even if he hid, he would expose himself if he had too much cocoa.

Who knew that the other party took a few steps back, looked at him carefully, and then glanced in the direction where the sound of flapping wings came from, ran to the rock wall, dug a small hole, and drilled into it.

The movements are discreet and sensitive, which is truly amazing.

This guy ......

Kashiwagi, who was hiding, couldn't help but touch the iron ingot on his chest, wondering if the clue would be this Coco Dora.

But when it comes to "obtainable" Pokémon, how can you get the Pokémon that the quicksand team put in?

Could it be ...... An outcast?

There is such a probability, but it has to be based on the premise that the assessment place has not been carefully reviewed. In the end, the clues may not point to Coco Dora, and there are more Pokémon in the world who are interested in iron ingots.

In short, anything is possible.

Kashiwagi held his breath and tried to reduce the subtle movements on his body so as not to be detected by the ultrasound larvae.

This Pokémon that lives in the desert has an extremely aggressive nature,

"Buzz—"

The noisy sound was like a buzzer, constantly stimulating Kashiwagi's nerves, and if it weren't for his good endurance, he would probably not be able to hold it back at this time.

He silently counted down in his heart, and finally missed the two ultrasonic larvae again in a thrilling way.

It wasn't until the buzzing could no longer be heard that he moved slightly, looking at the small hole that Cocodora had dug out.

I thought that the other party would come up, but I waited for more than a minute and still disappeared.

"Gone...... Was this guy an outcast? Kashiwagi touched the shrunken Poké Ball in his pocket.

The two ultrasonic larvae came back too fast for him to even have a chance to try.

Is this a miss?

He rubbed his eyebrows to dispel distracting thoughts, the most important thing at the moment is to pass the assessment, even if he really misses it, the identity of the official member will bring him one.

Let's move on.

Kashiwagi turned on the light on the miner's hat and adjusted the brightness to make the dim road clear without attracting the attention of some light-sensitive Pokémon.

He left not long ago.

Coco Dora emerged from the hole, looked in the direction he had left, and the four small black holes in her face spewed out a little dust, and chased after her without hurry.

——

Whoop, whoosh, whoosh......

Cheng Hong ran in a panic, and the iron-armored rhinoceros chasing him behind him was like a talisman, making him a little panicked.

There is no doubt that his approach to treating the trap as infallible is quite unconspiring.

So as it should be, Cheng Hong slammed into the air and fell into a deliberately created pit, the rocks at the bottom easily cut through his skin, and the blood instantly soaked through his clothes.

"Hehehehe, a bunch of garbage who don't measure themselves, and they still want to pass the assessment."

Above the crater, the ironclad rhinoceros shows its head, and next to it are several obnoxious faces.

One of them sneered: "Tell me the whereabouts of Kashiwagi earlier, if I'm happy, maybe I'll let you go." ”

"You're dreaming! Wait! Kashiwagi will definitely not let you go if he knows about it! ”

Naruhiro looked at Shibata with resentment.

After a few of them were separated from Kashiwagi, they were very lucky along the way, not only avoiding various traps, but also not encountering a few Pokémon with them.

When he went to the depths and saw those fragmentary jade mines, he thought that victory was in sight, who would have thought that Shibata had already taken people and the Pokémon used to cheat here to ambush them, and caught them off guard.

His companions fell one after another, and now the only one who escaped fell into the trap.

"Leave me alone? Hahahaha, I want to see how he doesn't let me go! A bunch of poor ghosts who are nothing! Ironclad Rhinoceros! Kill him for me! ”

Shibata laughed angrily, and suddenly waved his hand and planned to kill Narihiro.

The latter crossed his hands in front of him in horror, his eyes closed and thought he was dead, and instinctively gritted his teeth despite his fear, unwilling to wait for death to show his ugliness, and shouted in his heart that Kashiwagi must help him avenge him.

I waited for a long time, and I didn't feel any pain.

He couldn't help but open his eyes and look up.

"Huh? What about people? ”

Shibata and the others and the ironclad rhinoceros disappeared at some point.

I was actually let go? How can it be!

Cheng Hong was full of doubts.

Above the pit, Shibata looked at the ironclad rhinoceros who turned his head away with a stiff face, the latter was obviously a Pokémon sent by his uncle to help him, but he couldn't order this guy!

The contemptuous gaze of the other party before leaving also pierced his heart.

Damn it!

Even a Pokémon dares to look down on me!

Remembering that the ironclad rhinoceros had made it clear that he didn't take him seriously just now, Shibata's face was almost distorted by anger, and his fists clenched and his body tightened. When the people next to him saw him like this, they didn't dare to speak loudly.

for fear of being implicated.

"It's all that damn cypress! I'm going to kill him! ”

In the end, Shibata blames everything on Kashiwagi who refuses to give in to him, and if it weren't for the latter's existence, how would the poor ghosts dare to be so tough. He won't always be complained by his family that he can't do such a small thing well and embarrass them.

That's right.

It's all Kashiwagi's fault!

Back near the jade mine, Shibata looked at the "poor ghosts" who were lying on the ground and wailing softly, and laughed fiercely, "Call me!" Let them shout out! The more painful, the better! Let that little deflated three people in Kashiwagi know here! ”

"What Shibata ...... then?"

"Huh!?"

The speaker avoided Shibata's scarlet eyes, and the other people looked at each other, wanting to say that it was easy to attract other Pokémon to come, but how dare they disobey Shibata on his head, so they had to do as he said.

Suddenly.

There were terrible cries of pain from the underground mines, which made many of the quicksand teams exploring a burst of chills.

What did you encounter that would be so miserable? Is the assessment so terrifying!

Kashiwagi, who was moving slowly, was also aware of it, and he even heard the howl a little familiar, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

It doesn't matter if he fails in the assessment, he is worried that the other party will die because of it, and he is not cold-blooded to the point where his acquaintance is in danger of death and turns a blind eye.

And in the shadows, where everyone was not paying attention, a symbolic figure that seemed to grow out of a graystone-colored slate held a miniature camera, secretly peeking at these minions participating in the assessment.

In Huang Tie Town, a man with a noble temperament held a red wine glass, stared at the many screens in front of him, and sighed.

"The quicksand team, one generation is not as good as the next."

The group that was established to guard the mines has degenerated to this point.

"Death board, let the crying masks look at it, don't die too many people."

"Hiss!"

On the huge gray rock with the eerie snake symbol drawn, the dark purple pupils blinked slightly, and then disappeared in place.
