Chapter 20: The Devil's Mind
The strength of the owner of the Smoke and Ink Gym, Xiao Tsubaki, is also outrageously strong, and the Pokémon of the camping boy can't beat it at all.
The main thing is that the moves are outrageous, Hakron's dragon breath can trigger paralyzing side effects every time, and the tide of the dragon king can always trap the Pokémon of the camping boy.
If Liu Bo relies on the strength of Chaogang, then Xiao Chun is extraordinary luck.
Lost four games in a row, at least a week apart each time, and did special training......
If you have this kind of good luck, why not become a king!
Kashiwagi angrily hugged the camping boy, and when he saw that the latter was working hard for special training, he couldn't help but cheer him on.
Until an unexpected incident.
[You see two figures coming out of the back door of the Smoke and Ink Gym, and you chase after them.] 】
In the picture, the camping boy chases the two sneaky men in black until he runs outside Yanmo City before stopping them with rumbling rocks and large-billed sparrows.
The two sides talked.
[You found the duo of strange thief brothers, they paid for a part of the stolen goods, and I hope you will let them go]
Kashiwagi was stunned for a moment, and another line of words jumped out.
[You saw the Thang Long badge in the stolen goods, and you chose to agree.] 】
Huh? Huh?
Agreed!?
Kashiwagi's eyes widened, he didn't expect that the camping boy had gone astray and lost too many times, and his mentality was unbalanced?
What he didn't expect was that this matter was not over yet.
[You look at the Shenglong Badge and think twice before making a suggestion to the duo of the Strange Thief Brothers - stealing the Kaji Gym]
The three villains on the screen are still talking, I don't know if it's Kashiwagi's illusion, and the tone of the entire simulator seems to have darkened.
[You have been approved by the Strange Thief Brothers, who adopted your suggestion in order to improve the ranking of the thief world]
Thief Ranking...... Is it the one Musashi and Kojiro talked about?
Kashiwagi vaguely remembers that there is such a thing, and the two female villains in the theatrical version of the Shuidu brothers and sisters are the thieves ranked No.1.
After the savior of the wicked, there is another idol of thieves?
Kashiwagi looked at the screen weakly, and was not excited at all when he saw that the strange thief brother had stolen the frozen badge.
The camping boy took the badge.
You got the Frozen Badge, but for some reason you're not happy. 】
"Alas......"
He couldn't help but sigh.
The half-hour pixel animation can't fully convey all the mental journeys of the camping boy, and many things seen from the perspective of the god where Kashiwagi is are actually very one-sided.
However, he could understand the mood of the camping boy at this time.
Before, they won all the way with Rumble Rock, and happily challenged the Gym, even the Ghost Gym only fought twice.
As a result, when I encountered two "monsters", I was stuck directly, and I couldn't beat it no matter how I beat it.
In those fast-paced days, how sad and painful are the camping teenagers who continue to train and hope to become stronger?
Perhaps we can get a glimpse of it from the delay in the evolution of the duck, and the Pokémon and the trainer are of the same heart and empathy.
The accumulated negative emotions led him astray, and he made mistakes again and again.
Perhaps, this is [ruthless].
In order to achieve the goal, he will do whatever it takes to steal it......
At the moment, Kashiwagi doesn't care about the results, he just wants to see the results and see the future of the camping boys.
The screen turns.
[You've returned to your hometown, and you're three months away from the Silver Tournament, and you've decided to prepare for the tournament. But because the last two badges came from the wrong way, your heart is terrified.]
The camping boy returned to Jihua City, but compared to before, the intensity of his training Pokémon was much lower, and with more leisure time, he chose to sit by the window and wait for something.
The Duck and the Lava Worm have not evolved either, and the vacant sixth Pokémon has been forgotten directly.
Day and night go back and forth, and time flies like a white horse.
Finally, the Silver Conference began.
[You came to the coveted silver conference, and you were a little apprehensive when you signed up, but you passed it smoothly]
The camping boy came to a bustling arena, where all kinds of pixel figures were densely packed together, and there were all kinds of different Pokémon around him.
He walked into a huge building, and when the picture dimmed and brightened again, the scene around him had become a vast arena where many trainers battled.
[You participated in the selection meeting, and although the process was difficult, you passed the first round]
In the picture, the camping boy relies on the big explosion of rumbling rocks and Kairos's holding to defeat his opponent with difficulty, but there will be three rounds of selection. Moreover, according to the results of the contestants and the performance of the gym competition, it is necessary to comprehensively determine whether to advance or not.
Gym performance? The last two badges of the gym were stolen, how could there be his performance.
So every time the camping boy plays, the more apprehensive he becomes.
At the end of the third round, no matter what the results were, the camping boy's performance was not bad, and he ushered in the day he had been waiting for.
A group of men dressed as police officers took him away.
[Your theft of badges with your brother is exposed, and you are about to go to prison, and the results of the conference are invalidated. But when you were taken away, you laughed for some reason.]
【End of Simulation】
It's finally over.
Kashiwagi let out a long breath, deeply aware of the malice hidden in the simulator. A total of three simulations were simulated, and the three people either started out abnormally or gradually became abnormal later.
It's really puzzling.
But perhaps it is precisely because of this that there are so few contestants in each conference.
It's not easy to get eight badges alone, I remember that in the animation, the novice trainer who set off at the same time as Ash successfully got eight of them, and the remaining two all collapsed.
[Selection Reward 1: Any Pokémon is increased by one level (below Lv.50)]
[Selection Reward 2: Clues to the Pokémon that can be obtained]
[Choice Reward 3: Move - Rock Crit (Pokémon Acquisition Optional)]
[Choice Reward 4: Save the [Elite System] talent for the next round of simulation]
The reward was still two out of four, but what surprised him was that the move reward was not [Big Bang].
I thought that the move reward was according to the most commonly used move of the ace, but now it may be that the ace skill pool is all random.
Rock crit is a must.
Kashiwagi did not hesitate, and decisively chose one and three, and two or four are actually a bit tempting, but on the whole, they are not as powerful as one or three.
However, when he put his hand on Coco Dora's head, he froze.
Can't learn [Rock Crit]?
How can it be! It's impossible!
Or rather...... Can't learn before you evolve? Kashiwagi thought about it and thought that this was the only possibility, and the Pokémon's skill pool would expand as it evolved.
During the Bosco Dora, he could even learn to surf and water cannon, but Coco Dora was obviously not.
He had no choice but to use the rank reward first, and clenched his fists in anticipation, hoping to see the miraculous light of evolution.
A minute later.
There was still dead silence.
Kashiwagi regrets to the extreme, it seems that the miracle belonging to Coco Dora has not yet arrived.
"Or am I missing something?"
"Goh?"
"It's fine."
