Chapter 8 Forget the Past

The only reason that kept the exhausted Cheng Hong moving forward.

It’s the beautiful life in the future.

Kashiwagi believed that at this time, apart from the benefits that were about to be obtained, everything else was just an illusion, so whenever Chenghong slowed down, he would use similar words to stimulate the latter.

As the number of stimulations increased, it was obvious that Cheng Hong's expression became a little irritated, but his steps also became more powerful.

however.

As if played by fate, their journey was always full of hardships and difficulties.

Just as they reached the fork in the road where they encountered the Rumbling Stone before, crisis came again!

From the hole on the left, a dirt-gray four-legged Pokémon that looked like a tank rushed out. It was a little panicked and was carrying a wailing man on its back, with its right hand twisted abnormally.

When their eyes met, Kashiwagi's brows quickly frowned, Chenghong's eyes were filled with despair, and the panic and pain on Shibata's face quickly turned into surprise and malice.

"Hahaha! Just because you're wearing a mask, you think I don't know you? Armored Rhino! Kill him!"

The guy's roar soon resounded throughout the cave.

"Run! Run forward!"

Kashiwagi managed to free one hand, quickly took out the purple ball from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

Bang!

The small ball exploded, and thick purple fog quickly enveloped the entire intersection.

[Smoke Ball] is a prop that can confuse Pokémon's vision and sense of smell. It is not cheap.

The fleeing armored rhinoceros was not interested in being hunted, and now that it couldn't find its target, it became even more lazy.

Shibata was so angry that he kept shouting.

In the smoke.

Cheng Hong, who was at the back, quickly surpassed Kashiwagi. His physical strength had obviously been close to the limit, but at this moment he burst out with a new power, allowing him to run at a speed exceeding his previous speed.

"Saving your life is the most important thing! Put the person down first!"

Baimu reminded in a low voice that there was no need to focus on saving people at this time. How could you care about others when you couldn't even save your own life?

"You let go too! If you let go, I will let go!" Cheng Hong refused decisively without even turning his head, but he was still certain that the former was still holding the other two people.

Stupid!

Is it fun to do this now? Just give up when it’s time to give up!

Kashiwagi gritted his teeth and felt the vibration behind him. He realized that the armored rhinoceros had figured out the direction of their escape.

There was no way. Both of them smelled strongly of sweat and blood. It would be strange if I couldn't smell it.

This Pokémon was extremely fast when running straight ahead. Even in its prime, he couldn't have escaped. Now he was carrying two people on his back...

"Run! Keep running! See how far you can run to!"

Shibata's resentful voice came from afar.

This guy turned all the pain into intense hostility, and he probably made up some plot in his mind. It's really bad luck to be targeted by such a person.

such a pity.

Baimu sighed in his heart and decisively threw the person he was holding to the edge of the cave. This place was less than 500 meters away from the exit. Even if the road was a high slope, it would only take more than a minute to carry two people.

What a pity.

Good luck to you two.

Maybe Shibata will let them go in order to catch up with the person, so this can be considered a glimmer of hope.

"I'm taking action! Don't hesitate!"

He yelled and used his other hand to untie the rope on his body.

At this moment, Shibata's scream suddenly came from behind.

"Ah! What is that? Where did this guy come from?!"

Baimu left the man on his back and ran without slowing down. He turned his head quickly and caught a glimpse. He vaguely saw a silver light exploding, so brilliant!

The Pokémon's howl was then heard.

"Gu!!"

"Hum!!"

——Cocodora!

Kashiwagi would never forget this familiar voice. After all, he had been frightened twice in panic before.

It's catching up again?

And there was a conflict with Iron Rhino and Shibata?

Cocodora...

Rumble, rumble, rumble——!!

The violent vibration and flying sand and gravel interrupted Kashiwagi's thoughts. He turned around again and saw many fallen rocks falling from the top, blocking the road behind.

Shibata's shouts and the cries of the two Pokémon were drowned out by it, completely isolating him from his run, like a fallen floodgate.

A gate called safety.

Kashiwagi: "..."

He suddenly stopped and turned around at lightning speed to rush towards the first person who was left behind, picked him up and then pulled the second person up.

Cheng Hong, who was running in front, was about to drop the person behind when he subconsciously turned around and saw what he did. He was a little dumbfounded.

"Are you really lost? Wait, why did you pick him up if you were lost?"

"Shut up and run."

Kashiwagi said no more and looked straight ahead.

Cheng Hong wanted to ask what was going on, but seeing his serious eyes, he closed his mouth and followed him.

Unexpectedly, the other party ran faster and faster. Although it was an uphill slope, the distance between him and him in a blink of an eye was more than ten meters, and it was even getting longer.

"Eh? Eh??"

It wasn't until this moment that Cheng Hong realized that if it wasn't for taking care of himself, Kashiwagi might have left long ago.

-

“Ahhhh! Where did this guy come from? Kill it quickly!”

The roar of human impotence and rage echoed throughout the mine.

Kokodora looked up at the armored rhinoceros, which was breathing air from its nostrils and seemed to be angry, with a slightly alert expression.

But at this time, it was still thinking about another thing.

Did the boy run away?

hope so.

When it first saw the other, it was extremely surprised, and had never expected to meet him again one day. Later, it found that only the eyes and hairstyle were similar, and the two faces were completely different.

Yes.

It was abandoned and left in this strange land, without a doubt.

How could we meet again?

It did fantasize that the person would come to find it one day, but it was just a fragment in a dream after all. In the end, what remained most deeply in its memory was the back of the person running away without hesitation.

hatred?

Maybe a little.

But I still feel more confused. After all... why?

Why should it be abandoned?

Weak? Slow? Rebellious?

That's not right.

It doesn't remember ever having been described by any similar word.

What's more, you said it yourself, 'It is the Trainer's responsibility to make weak Pokémon stronger'!

So why?

It is just - I don’t understand!

"Goo!"

A fire rose in Kokodora's heart, and he no longer chose to continue the stalemate. A silver halo enveloped his head, and he rushed out suddenly!

Unexpectedly, the armored rhinoceros seemed to have been waiting for a long time. A ferocious look flashed in its eyes, and its front hooves suddenly raised up and then fell down with a bang.

"Hum!"

Bang!

The powerful trampling hit Kokodora's face accurately, hitting it like two sledgehammers, making it unable to move.

The silver light of [Iron Head] flashed, creating a circle of smoke and dust, which quickly dissipated.

"Finished it? Damn it for wasting my time! Break those rocks out of the way!"

Shibata's face was distorted as he shouted, "We must not let Kashiwagi go! We must kill him!"

The armored rhinoceros turned a deaf ear and stared at Kokodora who was under its feet. The latter seemed to want to prop up his body but was unable to resist its strength.

Where did this little thing come from? How dare it cause trouble for it alone? Does it really think it is a vegetarian?

The armored rhinoceros was holding back its energy and decided to teach Kokodo a lesson, but suddenly it felt a lightness under its hooves.

Looking around, I saw a small hole under my feet, and Kokodora was nowhere to be seen.

Are you kidding me!?
