Chapter Twenty-Three: The Healing Heart
A private space that won't be disturbed and makes it easy for customers to tame new Pokémon.
It just so happens that there are people in the neutral dungeon who offer this kind of service.
Otsuka took Kashiwagi with him, but after opening the field, the young man seemed to want to come in and make a move.
He decisively refused, and agreed to meet again in two hours.
Faced with the abandoned Otsuka, Kashiwagi mercilessly closed the door of the venue, isolating the hustle and bustle outside.
The field is actually small, like an enclosed basketball court, with a flat ground and slightly rough area dividing lines.
In fact, there are many types of venues to choose from, such as special environments such as pools and lawns, and the height, width, and length are large enough to accommodate most Pokémon.
Kashiwagi first released Coco Dora and carefully flipped through the information on the auspicious eggs that Maruyama gave him.
Illiteracy is too uncomfortable, these strange words are difficult to read, but fortunately he is not pure illiteracy at all, and he can read a little bit of something.
"I'll release our next buddy in a moment, and if it's running around, you can try to chase it, but don't attack it, even if it attacks me, understand?"
He said earnestly, and said it a few more times in order to make the other party understand.
When he saw Coco Dora nodding, he took out the Poké Ball of the Lucky Egg and opened it, and took two steps back.
Bang!
“lucky……”
The pink oval creature landed on the ground, its hands on its abdomen, and slowly retreated, looking around rather helplessly.
"Hello."
Kashiwagi didn't rush to chase after him, but kept a distance that would make Jili Egg less nervous, "Don't be afraid, relax...... You're safe now, and no one is going to hurt you. ”
“lucky?”
Gilly stopped and cast his gaze, nervously looking at him who was still in place, and then at Coco Dora, who was trying to raise his head when he glanced sideways at the former from time to time.
Since the two did not contain the slightest transgression, the panic in Geely Egg's heart was alleviated.
Kind and gentle by nature, it has the ability to distinguish malice, and the combination of humans and Pokémon in front of him is undoubtedly friendly.
"I'm Kashiwagi, and this is my partner, Coco Dora."
"Goo!"
Kashiwagi and Coco Dora briefly introduced themselves, and seeing that Jili Dan's mood was greatly eased, he put a jar of Pokémon food on the ground, "If you're hungry, please eat." ”
In order to prove that there was no problem with the Pokémon food, he took the initiative to pinch one and put it in his mouth, to be honest, the taste was not very good, after all, the price was not high.
The two retreated, giving the Geely Egg room to step forward.
“lucky……”
Jili Dan shook the curly hair on both sides of his body, slowly stepped forward to pick up the food, and ate it little by little.
As it ate, it looked at the cypress.
The latter stretched out his hand to signal that he did not make any extra movements, and laughed with relief when he saw that the gilly egg had changed from a small mouth to a large mouthful.
Maruyama will certainly not abuse the gilly egg and not give it enough food.
It didn't do him any good if there was a problem with the product.
But for the Geely Egg, most of them are not in the mood or appetite to eat those things, and they can still sleep in the Poké Ball, and they often feel panicked when they stay in the cage, so it's strange that they can eat it.
Not to mention being returned twice.
When he finished eating the jar of auspicious eggs and looked at him with a blank eye, Kashiwagi replied:
"I'm sorry, eat in moderation, it's not okay to eat too much at once."
“lucky~”
Geely Egg was a little disappointed, but after eating enough, its mood became more stable, and the relatively safe environment allowed it to have the possibility of dialogue.
"Were you kidnapped from Pokémon Center or someone by them?" Kashiwagi asked a very important question.
Gilly eggs are slightly rarer than other Pokémon, so many unscrupulous traders will choose to steal or snatch, or even steal from Pokémon centers.
Otsuka has said that the shop is clean...... But where does Kashiwagi dare to believe it all.
“lucky?”
Jili Dan rubbed his face with his little short hand, showing a very puzzled expression, I don't know if he didn't understand this sentence, or if he didn't understand what Pokémon Center was.
He repeated it a few more times, trying to understand what Jili Egg had responded to.
Communicating with Pokémon is a very patient test, because the other party has an independent mind, and emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are extremely obvious and will be presented very straightforwardly.
And in a way, their hearts are both fragile and strong.
Strong in being able to wait for countless years for a verbal agreement, endure all loneliness and loneliness; After being abandoned, Fragile was no longer able to touch a single human, leaving a huge wound in her heart.
What should I think of Coco Dora?
Although Kashiwagi has always spoken of companions and companions, at this stage, Coco Dora is just a prop for him to try to improve his environment and status.
What does a true partner look like?
Helping each other? Living and dying together?
Kashiwagi didn't want to delve into this aspect of the problem, and the critical living environment everywhere made him have to ignore this issue for the time being.
Of course, if Coco Dora has any wishes that she wants to fulfill, he will certainly help them to make it happen.
And when he confirmed that the Gilly Egg belonged to a wild Pokémon, but it was only taken to the Ouray region by the hunting group to sell, he was relieved.
Although the Oulei region is high and the emperor is far away, Joey and Junsha can't control this side. Pokémon that can be stolen ultimately belong to someone else, which is different from abandonment and return.
At this time, looking at the distance between the two, he found that the auspicious egg had advanced from a vigilant position five meters away to a gentle space of less than one meter.
That's a big step forward.
Thereupon.
Kashiwagi further converses with Gilly Egg, pulling Coco Dora with him and saying something that would interest or ease him.
Seeing that the other party no longer had a vigilant look on his face, and a little more smiling, he thought twice, stretched out his hand and said:
"Gilly Egg, if I can, I would like to invite you to join us and join me and Coco Dora's small team."
He pulled Coco Doro next to him and signaled that the two were very close, "You know, it's hard and scary to live alone in this place, and it's full of bad people.
"But if we go hand in hand with our companions, I believe that all difficulties will no longer be difficulties, and the bad guys will shy away when they see us together. Everyone helps each other and lives together. ”
"Goo!"
Coco Dora smiled and nodded.
The Poké Ball is in his hand, and he is not afraid that the Lucky Egg will not listen to his instructions.
But he didn't want to be so rude, and it was not impossible for him to lower his posture a little and ask for the other party's opinion.
Respect.
Even if it's just superficial, Kashiwagi wants to maintain this habit,
“lucky……”
Gilly looked at him and Coco Dora in a daze, and his expression lit up for a moment, but it quickly dimmed again.
"Are you thinking about the battle?" Kashiwagi saw the reason for its low mood, "Why on earth are you reluctant to fight?" It's a reluctance to hurt other Pokémon; Or is it the fear of fighting, the fear of being attacked and attacking others? ”
At first glance, the two statements are similar, but in fact they are very different, the latter belongs to the fear of the soul that can be slowly improved, while the former is a problem of perception.
Not all Pokémon are interested in combat.
“lucky?”
Gilly Egg was at a loss.
It doesn't seem to know which one it is, maybe both.
“…… So, if you don't need to attack anyone or Pokémon, as long as you help heal the injured Cocodora, will you be able to accept it? ”
Kashiwagi "snapped" Coco Dora's head and winked at the latter.
Coco Dora looked confused, and looked at the trainer for several seconds before uh-ah rolled on the ground, putting on a very painful expression.
Jili Dan was startled, and a voice sounded in his ears.
"Gilly eggs! Cure fluctuations to Cocoa Dora! ”
“lu、lucky!”
Its body shuddered, and it subconsciously released a pink wave of light at Coco Dora, which enveloped the latter like a circle.
"Goo!"
Coco Dora felt the vitality surging up in her body and was amazed.
And this kind of thing!
Hidden energy in the back! Excellent!
Gilly Egg stopped moving, looked at his hands in a daze, and then looked at Coco Dora, who was energetic and running and jumping.
"Is this 'fighting' style of your life acceptable?"
Kashiwagi didn't know when he stood by its side, "You don't need to hurt any Pokémon, you just need to use your skills to heal Coco Dora so that it is no longer painful and becomes easy, how about it?" ”
You can't do it overnight.
After getting used to the battle, think about the rest of the matter. If you really can't fight at that time, then concentrate on the function of the team doctor.
“lucky……”
Jili Dan was a little hesitant and didn't look very confident.
"Don't worry, don't be afraid, whether you do well or not, I won't blame you." Kashiwagi placed his hand on its head and stroked it gently and slowly.
Gilly raised her head to look at him, then at Coco Dora, who had a mixture of encouragement and anticipation in her eyes, and nodded vigorously as if she had made up her mind.
“lucky!”
"Very good! Welcome to our team! ”
Kashiwagi smiled and stretched out his hand to it, and Gilly tentatively put his little paw into the palm of his hand.
"Goo!"
Coco Dora screamed and rushed to knock them down, and they sat down on the ground, staring at each other dumbfounded, then laughing happily.
"Stupid! Don't just bump into people! ”
“lucky~”
"Gilly eggs! You don't weigh lightly either—ah, I'm not blaming you, don't be so discouraged. ”
