Chapter 24 Go to the claw machine with the Motorized Lizard

School ends at 4 p.m., and Kabukicho opens at 6 p.m., so there is no need to rush back.

However, because he deliberately deceived Mei Yue in the morning, all the students in the class now have no good impression of him and have completely isolated him.

He also succeeded in becoming the enemy of the whole class on his own, but just like his habit, he didn't care what other people thought of him, even if he was hated by everyone, he could just ignore it while sleeping.

I lived like this for more than 20 years in my previous life. Even if I suddenly traveled through time and became 15 years old again, it would not be easy to change...

After school, he left the classroom alone under everyone's indifferent gaze, but he was no longer alone as before. The Motorized Lizard was waiting outside and went back together.

"Mo Lizard~"

"Let's go, let's go to the business district first!"

Hoshino still has to find a place to work. He can work part-time for a few hours after school every day, and then continue working at other jobs on the weekends.

After riding the Motorized Lizard away, he thought about the battle in the morning. It was true as Mizuki said, he couldn't command the Motorized Lizard to use moves.

Although it is very powerful, its moves are meaningless if you can't use them. The Wooden Owl is very flexible. If you don't trick the opponent, the Motorized Lizard will definitely not be able to catch it, and you won't be able to tell the winner even in class.

"But there's nothing we can do..."

Hoshino is also very helpless at this point. He should wait until he saves enough money and then during the winter vacation to find out if there are any Pokémon suitable for him, the kind that can fight...

Hauale City Commercial District, as the most prosperous neighborhood in Hauale City, is full of people coming here to shop and enjoy themselves even on weekdays.

With his experience, he quickly found a part-time job in a claw machine store in a shopping mall. His main task was to take care of the place, wander around the store, and help customers solve some problems.

Perhaps because his temperament and appearance after the injury were particularly "kind", the boss passed the interview without hesitation and the salary was quite good.

Moreover, this store allows Pokémon to work part-time, and Biker also passed the interview, but the salary will be lower, and the main task is to hold the place.

Generally speaking, the business district is busiest in the evening, so his working hours are from 5 to 10 pm. On weekends, he can work directly for one day and he will be charged by the hour.

As for why he went to the claw machine store, it was because Motorized Lizard wanted a Mumu Owl doll, so he might as well just pick one up...

Since he was in urgent need of money, he started working directly that day. It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that the boss was happy to settle his wages. By this time, there were not many people in the store.

"It turned out that they were basically kiddies and lovers, making a lot of noise..."

Hoshino complained a little, but he could relax a bit after work, because Motorized Lizard also worked with him, and this time he got double salary.

"Mo Lizard~"

"Okay, I'll take you to collect the dolls."

While working, he was also observing which machines were easy to clamp and which ones were difficult to clamp, and he had a rough idea of ​​them.

However, he is also a master of the claw machine. This time, he mainly came to give guidance. If you can’t clip something like this out by yourself, there is no point!

Hoshino took the Motorized Lizard to a claw machine filled with stand-in dolls. These stand-in dolls were mixed with a small amount of dolls from the three families of the Alola region. They were only available here in the entire store.

"Did you get the coins in exchange?"

"Mo Lizard!"

"Okay, let me show you first how to play this thing!"

Hoshino asked the Motorcycle Lizard to stand aside and observe, then put in two coins, grabbed the joystick with one hand, and put the other hand on the button to start operating.

He watched the movement of the hook with a serious expression, then quickly lowered it, grabbed a stand-in doll, pushed the joystick hard, and threw it, just in time for it to fall from the exit and roll out.

"See, it's that simple!"

Hoshino smiled and took out the stand-in doll, and the Motorized Lizard instantly became excited after seeing it.

"Mo Lizard!"

"Don't worry, you have to be patient when playing this game. Just go ahead and play, I'll be there to guide you."

"Mo Lizard!"

Two coins were put in, and the Motorized Lizard imitated what he had just done, and began to operate it seriously. It was only the first time he played with something like this. Not to mention the wooden owl doll, he couldn't even clamp the stand-in doll.

However, under the careful guidance of Hoshino, after consecutive failures and the boss took away half of his salary today, he finally succeeded once and got a stand-in doll out, which made him happy.

"Mo Lizard Mo Lizard~"

"Yeah, keep up the good work, I can see Mu Mu Xiao's feet in the middle pile. Let's get rid of the stand-in dolls on top first."

"Mo Lizard!"

The Motorcycle Lizard continued to operate. Hoshino thought for a while and decided not to give any prompts now to see what would happen next.

After it was successful once, the next step was indeed much easier. The Motorized Lizard came out with several stand-in dolls in it, and Hoshino was there to help it pick them up.

But as the number of dolls inside began to decrease, it became more and more difficult to clamp. There were various empty hooks, or they fell off on the way up after being clamped.

Finally, all of Motor Lizard's wages were recovered by his boss, and the spoils of war were ten stand-in dolls. To this day, Mu Mu Xiao only has his feet exposed and is losing blood.

"Mo Lizard..."

The Motorcycle Lizard turned around pitifully, tears welling up in his eyes. He was too weak and couldn't get it out. He didn't want to play anymore and lost all his money.

After Hoshino installed the stand-in doll, he patted it on the head, smiled and encouraged: "If you lose, you lose. I will change you for coins again. No matter what you do, never give up!"

He didn't feel bad about the money. Since he said he would take the Motorized Lizard to Climb Owl by himself, he had to fulfill his promise. The agreement he made with Pokémon was very important to him.

Then the salary recovery plan started again, and they got off work at 10 o'clock. They stayed until 11 o'clock, and the money they earned tonight was almost squandered.

Putting the last two coins in his hand, the Motorized Lizard concentrated on it and didn't dare to relax even a little bit. Hoshino observed carefully and began to give instructions.

Watching the claws swaying and falling bit by bit, one claw happened to hook the tag on Mu Mu Xiao's butt. It was just the right time!

"Just throw it over!"

"Mo Lizard!"

Motorized Lizard reacted instantly, almost breaking the joystick, and finally pulled Mumu Xiao out from among the stand-in dolls, and successfully threw it into the exit and fell!

"Mo Lizard!"

Looking at the doll that fell out, the Motorized Lizard was extremely excited, as if it had accomplished something unprecedented, and then bit Hoshino on the head.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

After breaking free with force, Hoshino was also happy for it, and then took the doll out, and then his expression was slightly startled, because this wooden owl was a little different, it turned out to be light green, and it also had cat ears.

"It's a limited edition collaboration, Mu Mu Xiao wearing Xinye Miao clothes! It's paid off!"

"Mo Lizard Mo Lizard~"

The two guys were as happy as naughty boys. The boss who had completed the salary collection task in the distance was even happier than them...

In the end, the spoils were 21 stand-in dolls and 1 linked Wooden Owl doll. Although the salary was almost spent, it was not a loss in the end.

The Motorized Lizard was very happy holding the Mu Mu Xiao doll. Hoshino also packed up the stand-in dolls and prepared to go home for dinner.

But at this moment, his eyes caught a glimpse of something, and he quickly used his remaining salary to exchange for two more coins, then put them in, and with his skill, he pulled out another stand-in doll.

"Mo Lizard?"

The Motorized Lizard was a little confused. He didn't know what he was doing. There were obviously so many of them.

"Hey, I made a lot of money today!"

Hoshino picked out the doll and took a look at it, only to find that the color of the stand-in doll was a little different. There was a bump on the belly that looked like a tire, and there was blush on the face. It looked a bit like that who?

"Mo Lizard?"

"Yes, this is your replacement doll!"

He didn't expect this to be able to sneak in here, but the Motorized Lizard's exclusive move of tail cutting is to create a double, so it seemed normal to sneak in.

"Mo Lizard~"

Looking at this mini version of himself, Motorized Lizard was dumbfounded and did not accept it. It was enough that it had a wooden owl doll, so naturally he had to leave this to Hoshino.

"Okay, let's take them home and put them up. The house is empty, so we should put some things there. Let's go home now~"

"Mo Lizard~"
