The two were talking.

The TV station director walked up with a smile on his face.

"The shoot was a great success! The battle between the two of you is really breathtaking, Miss Natchy, thank you for your cooperation, and the show will be finished soon after this time!"

"It's good to be satisfied, hard work."

Naki nodded, and then thanked the other staff members on the top floor as well.

The staff members also smiled.

Kashiwagi silently put the badge in a special box and showed it to the big-mouthed baby next to him, whose eyes were shining.

The director suddenly said:

"Mr. Kashiwagi, thank you so much for allowing us to shoot this time, I'm really grateful."

"No, I just don't want to mess up the plan."

He responded casually, followed by several TV station staff members surrounding him, anxiously and expectantly begging him to sign a notebook or a shirt - it is better for the big-mouthed baby to also press a plum blossom mark or something.

He did not refuse this small request, but the big-mouthed baby refused to press the plum blossom print, but happily snatched the pen from the cypress, and wrote its name like a graffiti after a little thought in a three-year-old child's posture.

Undoubtedly, this is the result of its recent initial literacy with the help of polygonal beasts.

When I was in a literacy class, Kashiwagi also started by learning how to write his name and annotate the pronunciation.

The staff were pleasantly surprised.

"The big-mouthed baby's autograph!"

"Excellent!"

"Thank you so much! I'll treasure it for the rest of my life!"

Several people, both men and women, bowed and thanked each other.

"Boom~"

The big-mouthed baby proudly crossed her waist.

After being able to write, I feel that the whole Pokémon has become more confident!

The director watched this scene with a smile and took out a business card from his pocket, "This is my business card, I hope you will accept it." Maybe we will have the opportunity to work together in the future, so please take care of us."

Kashiwagi reached out and took it—

[Hoenn TV, Producer of the First Production Bureau, Takemura]

"I'm the same, so please take care of Mr. Takemura." He himself has no prejudices against the people in the TV station, and considering that there will really be opportunities for cooperation when he becomes famous in the future, he is polite.

When Takemura saw that Kashiwagi accepted the business card and was so kind, the smile on his face suddenly became a lot more sincere.

The two sides briefly talked a few words, and the main content revolved around the battle just now, and the director Takemura regretted that he couldn't give too many pictures of the battle just now in Naki's personal interview.

After all, Naki didn't have many highlight scenes, and if you carefully calculated it, there were only a few forced changes and defensive lethal moves, but in the end, the fight was still very bad.

It's impossible for a TV station to show someone else's highlight scene in a personal interview, right? And not stupid.

So the director's initial attempt to use Kashiwagi's fame to increase the ratings was frustrated.

"In recent years, after the development of the Internet, there are many fewer people watching TV, and it is becoming more and more difficult for us to do TV stations." Takemura complained, adding that in the past, the TV station would select one or two trainers to do personal interviews almost every week.

From champions, the Four Heavenly Kings to gym owners and conference winners, and even powerful folk trainers.

Nowadays, only the personal interviews of the Four Heavenly Kings and the gym owner have some ratings, and not many people are willing to watch the interviews of ordinary trainers, and even the less famous gym owners have no ratings.

So the column was adjusted from once a week to once a month, and recently there was an idea of adjusting it to once a quarter.

Quarterly?

Is anyone really watching such a long cycle?

Kashiwagi couldn't help but be suspicious, and when he heard that Naki had done a personal interview three years ago, and this time it was a reprint, he already had no expectations for this show.

The show that has already begun to fry cold rice is destined to hit the streets.

And Takemura chatted and chatted, suddenly

However, he said that if Kashiwagi shines at the next large-scale festival or color festival, the TV station may try to carry out his personal project.

"Kashiwagi-kun's popularity has been incredible lately, and the Fish Leaping Dragon Gate performance in the finals of the Autumn Leaves Conference was a blockbuster, and there is no one in the stage who doesn't know you."

"Takemura's director is too exaggerated......

"Not an exaggeration, not an exaggeration at all." Takemura shook his head quickly, "You're going to become a big shot sooner or later, it's only a matter of time before you do a personal interview, and I hope Kashiwagi-kun will give me a lot of advice when the time comes."

Let's be honest.

Kashiwagi has little interest in TV interviews.

But he knew that Minoru Shanminoru, who was far away in Oulei, would definitely encourage him to participate, so he simply took the initiative to find out about the specific situation.

We didn't talk for long.

Considering that the occasion is not suitable for long conversations, Naki has other challengers to receive, and the director needs to gather enough material from the upcoming battles.

Kashiwagi had a superficial understanding of the production process of the interview, and then took his leave and left.

Descend the long steps.

Halfway through, Shota's shout came from behind him.

"Wait! Cedar! Wait for me!"

He turned his head suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shota quickly ran to his side and stood still, and after panting a little, he stroked the back of his head with some confusion and looked left and right, "That ......"

Kashiwagi and the big-mouthed baby looked at each other, but they didn't speak, just waited quietly for the child to speak.

The happy eggs used to be more twisted than this, and if a simple sentence is said for a minute, their patience has long been cultivated.

"I—If I go on a trip, can I become as strong as you?" Shota finally seemed to have mustered up enough courage and opened his mouth to speak.

After seeing the battle in the gym just now, he couldn't help but start thinking about whether he could become as strong if he chose to travel instead of staying in the gym as an apprentice like the former.

Faced with this question, Kashiwagi didn't hesitate too much, shook his head and confessed, "I don't know."

「…… Huh?"

Shota was stunned for a moment.

He thought about many of the possible responses that the other party might say, either ridiculed or encouraged, but ...... I don't know?

"Everyone's circumstances are different, and I am not a prophet, so how can I judge your future achievements." Kashiwagi paused and asked, "You want to go on a trip?"

「…… Hmm."

Shota nodded hesitantly.

He didn't have a similar idea on the first day, but it was difficult to give up the work in the gym, because it was something he had won with great difficulty.

In addition, he has never left Yinyu City, and he is quite confused about traveling, so he has always pressed it in his heart.

Kashiwagi was a little surprised.

I thought Shota was a teenager with a loose personality and a hot blood like Ash, but I didn't expect such complex psychological fluctuations.

If it's Ash, I guess I choose to travel with my eyes closed, right?

"Just do what you think is right."

He patted the other man on the shoulder, "There's no need to think too much."

"The Right ...... of the Right Thing"

Shota lowered his head and muttered to himself, and when he came back to his senses, the latter had disappeared with the big-mouthed baby.

——

Get out of the Pokémon Center.

Kashiwagi makes a beeline for Kieley's secret base.

To be honest, the battle with Naki was a lot easier than he had imagined, and the happy eggs barely suffered much damage-

I haven't even been touched a few times.

However, through this battle, he also found a lot to make amends.

For example, Menas's move pool is not deep enough, and the output of the big-mouthed baby is quite limited even if it is forced and strange, etc., but the happy egg is close to a complete body.

[Earth Cast] has made up for its shortcomings in close combat......

But you can learn

There are many more moves.

"Step by step, you don't have to be overwhelmed by debts." Kashiwagi thought of the Doron Barutto who was still resisting him, and his heart suddenly calmed down.

It's almost a mountain of things to do.

Not in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, he came to Kieley's secret base, and to his surprise, this guy seemed to have found two more "students", and he was using his lame teaching ability to convey the learning method of secret power.

"Done?"

Keeley's eyes lit up when he saw him.

"Hmm...... If you're busy, I'll come back to you tomorrow." Kashiwagi glanced at the sad-faced big heads and Pokémon, and realized that he was not the only one who realized that this guy's teaching ability was unreliable.

"Let's do it together! Out of the way!"

Keeli waved his hand magnanimously, "Just so you can review it too."

Review the eggs!

He simply explained his intention directly - inquired about the content of the secret base arrangement, anyway, with the particularity of the polymorphic beast, it would take a few days to learn the power of secrets.

Knowing what's going on ahead of time can help save time.

When Keeley heard this, he glanced at the other two with some embarrassment. His teaching ability is lame, but he is still very responsible, and now is undoubtedly the time to teach the latter two.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly said, "Let's study on our own! It's okay to study on your own!"

「…… Okay."

The blond young man from the United Crowd had no choice but to comply.

The two of them came to a large tree again.

"Not all environments can create secret bases with the power of secrets."

"Normally, there are three places that are good for making secret bases—the rock walls in the mountains: the caves; The trunk or branch of a large tree: a tree house; and shrubs that are lush enough: flower beds."

He patted the big tree in front of him, "There are two kinds of treehouses, one is made by hollowing out the trunk with secret power, and the other is made on the treetops...... Well, your Pokémon don't seem to have learned the power of the secret yet."

Kashiwagi nodded.

"Hey, then I'll demonstrate it again." Keely unleashed the Desert Dragonfly and ordered, "Use the power of the Secret on the Great Tree! Build a secret base!"

"Whew!"

The desert dragonfly raised its claws, leaned down and pressed lightly against the trunk, and a white light lit up, and the trunk soon sunken down, revealing a large black hole.

After a few seconds, it lifted itself.

"Whew!"

"It's all right." Keely beckoned, took a flashlight from his pocket and shone it into the tree hole, "Let's see inside, is it already built?"

Kashiwagi probed in and took a look twice, and sure enough, as he said, there was already an extra space of about thirty square meters inside.

"As long as you learn to use the secret power on the trunk, you can automatically create such a space? Nothing else?"

"Other points? Not really."

Keeley shook his head.

「……」

He believed it and said, "What if you don't create a secret base in these three places, and replace it with a hotel room?"

Machine Zero had created a different space that enveloped the living room, and he initially guessed that it was made by a secret force, hoping to confirm it through Keeley.

When the latter heard this, he replied, "In the living room? The secret base created in that way is unstable and may collapse at any time - why make a secret base in the room? Isn't that an extra move?"

"I came across a wild Pokémon that broke into my hotel room and separated me from my Pokémon in a different space, is it possible?"

"Ah~ That's really possible, you don't have to be nervous next time, that kind of space can't last a few minutes, it will decompose on its own. Like I said, unstable." Keely punched the bag ticket.

Kashiwagi bowed his head in understanding.

it

Later, Keely showed him the appearance of several other secret bases.

The secret base of the cave in the rock wall is quite normal, and the secret base in the bush garden and the secret base in the treetops are similar to the different spaces created by the previous Zero.

It's just more stable than that kind of alien space, and it won't disintegrate at will.

Kashiwagi asks why, and Keeley tells him that the two places meet the element of seclusion sufficiently, and that the point of the secret base is the word "secret".

To be honest, it's a bit of a stream of consciousness, but it's fairly easy to understand.

The clock was fast approaching early evening.

Kashiwagi, who asked a lot about the secret base, left satisfied.

With this knowledge, there is no fear of any accidents in the future when creating secret bases in the wild.

Return to the hotel.

To celebrate his successful acquisition of the White Feather Badge, Kashiwagi made an extraordinarily sumptuous dinner to reward several of the heroes who had performed today.

The three dragons weren't very happy.

Because in the original plan, it was also a member of the Gym War, of course, the priority was not as high as the first three, but it should have been able to play!

Why are you doing so hard, isn't it good to fight a little harder?

It glared angrily at the three Pokémon such as Happy Egg, and successfully harvested the *** bucket from the big-mouthed baby.

Syllable!

"Boom!"

You've been jumping a lot lately, huh?

Don't think that I won't dare to hit you if you evolve!

The big-mouthed baby looked at the three evil dragons with unkind eyes, it beat this guy from childhood to adulthood, even if it was only a few months in between, but it also left indelible damage to the latter's young mind.

Therefore, even if the latter dares to challenge Boskodora's trump card status, he will still feel weak when he is glared at by the big-mouthed baby.

"Whoops......"

The three evil dragons squeezed and rubbed aggrievedly on the trainer's side, like a bullied dog.

"Alright, alright."

Kashiwagi soothed it, and his gaze fell on Doron Barutto, who was eating at the outermost level.

As if sensing the gaze, Dorombaruto quietly vanished, leaving only the food in the bowl to disappear to prove that it still existed.
