Kashiwagi still remembered the intelligence, but the other party left very quickly and disappeared after turning left.

He had no choice but to stay where he was, staring at the rough concrete floor in a daze.

Hundreds of meters away.

The guide opened a door and went in.

"How about it?"

Someone came up and asked.

The leader shook his head. "I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, this kid may be different from the ones we knew before."

"I just hope you don't hate the boss too much. The boss is the same. Every time he meets someone he admires, he uses this method, as if to push people away."

The man sighed.

"I don't think he hates me. I think the kid is quite smart." The leader sighed.

They were helpless when faced with such a boss who kept doing weird things.

But don’t these younger brothers exist to help the boss solve problems?

Times are tough.

-

Bang.

The Poké Ball is turned on.

Kokodora landed on the ground and anxiously threw herself at Kashiwagi's feet.

"Gu! Gu!"

"It's okay, we're all fine, don't panic."

He squatted down and kept stroking its head and back to relax the little guy.

The physical constitution of humans in the Pokémon world is indeed unusual.

When I got punched, I felt like I was dying. I could see some bruises when I lifted up my clothes. Now, nothing happened. My arms aren't sore or swollen anymore, and my stomach feels better.

Seeing that he was indeed safe and sound, Kokodora finally calmed down and raised her head and called out softly.

"Goo?"

"Well... you ask why I got beaten? It's very simple, because this is a way to control people, a method called workplace PUA. Use words or violence to break your self-esteem, and then treat you a little more friendly, saying things like this is all for your own good..."

Baimu patted its head helplessly.

Beating you is because I admire you. Beating you till you are miserable and then giving you a chance is just like giving you a slap in the face and then giving you a sweet date.

When Kokodora heard this, she felt a little indignant.

"Goo!"

"You say he's a bad guy? Well, from what I can see now, he is indeed a bad guy. But people can't be easily labeled."

Kashiwagi shook his head, “Of course he used that method to deal with us, but considering his status, he was willing to take the time to use that method on nobody like us, which was a straightforward appreciation.

"Not to mention that he will most likely keep his word and protect us. Therefore, his workplace PUA this time was quite successful. If we really get beaten up, we still have to remember his kindness."

Kokodora had an incomprehensible expression on her face.

This time it really doesn't understand.

"You don't have to understand too much. In short, in this area, the only two of us who can maintain absolute trust are the two of us. Everyone else has their own purpose." Kashiwagi didn't explain much and held him in his arms.

Kokodora rubbed back gently.

Soshiro's methods were undoubtedly a naked conspiracy.

Even though Kashiwagi saw through his actions, he had to acknowledge the other party's status as the boss.

But it’s also true that I feel unhappy.

Who wants to get punched for no reason?

But he is positioned as the boss of the faction, the kind who rules from Tsim Sha Tsui to Causeway Bay in Hong Kong movies. How can he convince the public with kind means?

The only way is to use both kindness and severity.

As for what Soshiro said to him, Kashiwagi admitted that he was used to judging others by his own standards, so he reserved his opinion on its authenticity.

It may not be false, nor may it be entirely true.

Sometimes nine true and one false words can also make people lose their judgment.

A place like Huangtie Town is not a fertile ground for good people to grow. It is not Zhenxin Town or Weibai Town. Staying vigilant at all times is a guarantee of your own safety.

Did Chester, one of the highest-ranking officials, really want to kill him? Were those troublemakers on the ground also arranged by the Crystal Group?

What plan had I interfered with? Could it be that someone like Shibata was also entrusted with an important task?

Someone above him had a good impression of him. Who could be called "above" by Cang Zhilang? The group of "bigwigs" behind the Quicksand Team?

Ishigaki's attitude of being arrogant at first and respectful later, is it because of that person?

There is also the game next week.

Their Quicksand Team and the Vicious Dog Team have always been hostile forces. The feud between the two sides basically started from the competition for the mine, and as various events developed, they became incompatible.

I just got the Pokémon not long ago, so my chances of winning are slim.

“It’s a crisis.”

Kashiwagi held Kokodora's chin, "I didn't expect that becoming a formal member would cause me more trouble than when I was a minion."

At least during the minion period, Shibata was the only enemy.

Chapter 15 Peaceful Coexistence

This underground city is huge.

Kashiwagi took Kokodora around for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what specific divisions it had and what they were used for.

The key point is that many places are locked, with all kinds of meaningless neon lights flashing non-stop. It is estimated that they will not open until the evening. They don’t look like normal stores.

The bunny girl, gold coins and other patterns on the sign prove a lot.

"Ah! You are here!"

The sudden shout startled Kashiwagi, and he turned around to see two blurry figures approaching rapidly.

He was just about to escape with Kokodora when the visitor's face was exposed in the flashing colored lights.

He has beige hair and brown skin, a slightly big mouth and ordinary looks, but he has long legs that support his 1.8-meter-tall head. His body is as agile as a humanoid leopard, and he has a wild and uninhibited smile on his face.

But Kashiwagi was more concerned about what was behind her.

What a big swamp king!

He couldn't help but sigh secretly. After all, it was rare to see a Swamp King that could grow to 1.8 meters tall. Its body, which was wider than a human, made it as thick as a wall. At first glance, it was quite scary...

Well, actually, it’s dumber than usual.

"Good morning, Lady Ayana."

Kashiwagi withdrew his gaze and hurriedly greeted the woman in front of him. She was one of the four cadres in the Sand Group. She was well-known among the lower-level minions because of her kindness.

"Your name is Kashiwagi, right?"

Ayana observed for a moment, then without waiting for his answer, she stepped forward and grabbed his arm, "Come with me! You're the only one missing!"

"Lady Ayana——"

"Call me Big Sister! And stop talking nonsense! Just follow me obediently, or I'll beat you up if you keep talking nonsense!"

The serious words made Kashiwagi shut his mouth. He turned his head to look at Kokodora and found that the latter was held in the arms of the huge Swamp King, swinging his four short legs in a panic.

When their eyes met, Kokodora gradually calmed down.

Obviously, after just a few days of getting along, the two sides have established a certain level of trust.

Lean less.

Ayana led Kashiwagi through many alleys and approached a place that looked like a basketball court. It was illuminated by huge searchlights on all sides and separated from the walkway by neat barbed wire fences.

It is a battlefield.

Kashiwagi looked inside and suddenly saw many men and women in team uniforms using their Pokémon to fight each other.

Unlike the usual animations where trainers stand at the edge of the field, those people not only stand inside the field, but are also not far away from the Pokémon.

He knew that this was the characteristic of Pyrite Town and even the entire Ouray region, that is, the fighting style in the special episodes where trainers and Pokémon were beaten together.

"Stop! Stop right there!"

Ayana let go of Kashiwagi's arm and clapped her hands vigorously, "Come and gather!"

Upon hearing this, the Quicksand team members who were fighting ordered their Pokémon to stop and quickly move over here.

Kashiwagi took Kokodora back from the Swamp King and made eye contact with the young men and women standing in a row.

A simple count showed there were about a dozen people.

They looked about the same age as him, around fifteen or sixteen, with bright eyes and well-proportioned and upright figures. Most of them had rough and dark skin, showing signs of wind and sun exposure.

Obviously, not all of them come from powerful families.

Their Pokémon are of different types, their strength is unknown but they are full of energy. Even when the battle is interrupted, they do not show any signs of breathlessness or fatigue. Instead, they exude an aura of having experienced many battles, which is clearly the result of careful training.

Special forces?

No, this is a team specially assembled to fight against the Vicious Dog Team next week.

Kashiwagi suddenly realized why he was dragged here by force, but was it planned that he would join the team?

As someone who has just become an official member, do I have this value?

He was a little confused about what the older brothers and sisters in the Sand Group were thinking, so he could only try to think positively, like that the other party appreciated him or something like that.

"What are you standing there for? Come say hello! Do you need me to rush you?"
