night.

Quicksand Team Headquarters Building.

The top cadres gathered together, with more or less sadness on their faces.

"Thirteen people on the first day...this result is not even as good as ten years ago."

Yuge, who sat at the front with silver hair and white beard, let out a long sigh.

Even if they are only a second-rate force, the Quicksand Team is still inferior to every generation and is inevitably on the way to decline.

This can be seen from the amount of new blood replenished.

There were more than a hundred participants on the first day, but only one-eighth passed the exam. Is the assessment that difficult?

"I think it's better to take another look. After all, you want that kind of thing to happen..."

The long-haired and thin Chester smiled, "Maybe I was just dragged down by that adult."

The assessment site was affected by the angry Death Board. A large area collapsed. Many unlucky people were buried in it and it took a long time to dig out.

But everyone present was helpless about this matter.

Who makes people the employer and the boss behind the scenes?

Their Quicksand Team used to be a team of thugs funded by the other party in Huangtie Town to facilitate access to mineral resources. To put it bluntly, it was "security."

It's just that the environment in Huangtie Town is relatively special, so they have transformed into a special force. But this does not mean that they can escape the assistance of the capital, and they even need a behind-the-scenes background to prevent themselves from being annexed by other forces.

"It's a drag, haha, I really didn't expect you to have the nerve to say it. The culprit is someone under you, right? I'm so helpless that I'll wait until the boss comes back from Silica City to see how you explain it!"

The muscular man standing next to him sneered.

Chester's expression froze, and he responded with a smile: "Now I don't have to worry about it, Mr. Soshiro. I will naturally solve it."

"Humph! I hope so!"

The muscular man Aoshiro turned his head.

The relationship between the two was as bad as it appeared, and they were not far from being incompatible with each other, but they were suppressed by the boss of the Quicksand Team.

Half an hour later.

The unpleasant meeting ended, and Chester returned to his office. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a worried-looking man.

"Lord Chester!" The other party suddenly became energetic.

"Ishigaki..."

Chester sighed, "You go back first."

"But Master Chester! My nephew is still lying in the intensive care unit and has not woken up! The doctor said that even if he is lucky enough to wake up, he will not be able to get out of bed normally for many years!"

Ishigaki shouted excitedly: "I must avenge this!"

"Shut up!"

Chester scolded in a low voice, "Do you know what you are talking about! Your nephew Shibata brought it all upon himself! Revenge? Do you have evidence? Just relying on speculation and Pokémon reports?

"I can't even touch him casually in his current situation! Not to mention that the higher authorities haven't accounted for your little tricks! I've already taken a big risk by seeing you today!"

The heavy sound was like thunder.

Ishigaki looked at Chester in disbelief, unable to speak, "But..."

But these are all done according to your instructions!

He didn't dare to say this sentence because he had a sixth sense that if he said it, he would be killed on the spot.

"Well, you are also an old man of the Quicksand Team, and you have followed me for so many years. I will not treat you badly. The situation is not good now, so please be patient and take the overall situation into consideration."

Chester patted Ishigaki on the shoulder.

"Looking at the overall situation..."

The latter's expression was bitter.

The word "big picture" is Chester's catchphrase. He often uses his name to suppress others and force them to accommodate themselves and make peace with others. As a subordinate of Chester, he has always admired and tried to imitate him.

Who knew that one day a hammer would hit me on the head?

But what can he do?

That damn guy has attracted the attention of the adults at the top. If he, a team leader, doesn't want to completely ruin his family, he has no choice but to endure it.

My nephew is in a vegetative state?

Tolerate!

Is Pokémon Armored Rhino seriously injured?

Tolerate!

Ishigaki bit his lower lip, almost drawing blood.

He just walked out of the office step by step with extremely heavy steps. But somewhere he didn't notice, a mudfish with malicious eyes appeared and disappeared.

The dangerous light in Chester's eyes dissipated.

I have the guts to come to my door to ask for an explanation after I messed up something. I really don’t know what my last name is!

If he hadn't been worried about the grudges of other subordinates, he would have killed this guy who failed to achieve anything but failed more than failed!

waste!

——

Ward.

Kashiwagi was wearing a standard blue and white hospital gown and looked out the window boredly.

It wasn't until he came for a checkup that he discovered that he not only had injuries and contusions, but also a broken foot.

So I am recuperating now.

Fortunately, the medical level in the Ourei area is quite good. A fracture is considered a minor illness and can be cured and discharged within a few days.

To his surprise, Shibata turned into a vegetative state that could not wake up.

Even though he wished he could crush it to ashes on the spot, he never imagined that this would be the result when he faced the armored rhinoceros before - even he didn't die!?

It's a pity that the armored rhinoceros went on a rampage at that time, so there was no way to last up the damage...

He was extremely sorry.

What puzzled Kashiwagi even more was the attitude of Uncle Shibata, the captain of the quicksand team, Ishigaki.

The first time he came to the door, the guy brought a group of vicious guys and said viciously that he must die in the hospital, making him think that the other party was planning to take action in the hospital.

As a result, he turned around and left.

The second time I came, I just changed my face, giving gifts with a disgusting smile, making daily routines, saying nice things, and talking about how it is better to dissolve enemies and not to end them.

Believe it or not!

Why are you so arrogant at first and respectful at the end?

When Shibata chose to kill himself, the two sides fell into a life-and-death struggle. Ishigaki's first murderous intention did not seem to be fake, so the other party's current performance was just a disguise.

A disguise to numb others.

No matter why Ishigaki did this, Kashiwagi had to start thinking about how to solve Ishigaki as soon as possible.

There is also Shibata who is in a vegetative state.

But speaking of it, could there be someone behind Ishigaki, such as a cadre he didn't know at all?

There is too little information available.

Kashiwagi shook his head and looked at the other bed next to him out of habit.

Cocodola was fast asleep.

This guy has been confirmed to be a wild Pokémon. He was sent back to the Pokémon Center for treatment not long after, and was now huddled in a large jar like a nursery, snoring and sleeping for a long time.

The external injuries are healed, but the internal injuries are unclear.

The doctor who sent him also said that he was a little malnourished and it would be best to take some refined iron supplements or alloy steel.

The beast that swallows "gold".

Kashiwagi quite doubted whether his small purse could withstand the abuse. It should be much easier with the support of official members.

"Gu."

A slight cry caught his attention, and when he looked around, Cocodola opened his eyes slightly.

"Are you awake? Don't be nervous. This is a hospital. Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Kashiwagi smiled and opened the glass cover of the healing device for him.

Cocodola was startled, stood up suddenly and looked around, then returned to Kashiwagi after looking around.

"Goo!"

I saw it leaping up, jumping from the treatment device into Cypress's arms, and kept rubbing its head here and there, like a puppy.

"Pfft!"

The latter groaned, feeling that his ribs were about to be broken by it, and almost couldn't hold his breath. Then he was a little surprised by the intimacy shown by Cocodola.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

I thought it would take a few more conversations to gain this guy's favor, but it turned out to be much smoother than expected.

Chance?

Kashiwagi stroked its head, thought for a while, and said:

"Cocodola, what do you think...of me?"

"Gu?"

Cocodora raised her head, not quite understanding what he said.

Kashiwagi said softly: "I mean, if you don't hate me, are you willing to be my partner? The kind of partners who support each other, make progress with each other, and stand together for a common goal or their own goals."

"It may be a bit abrupt, but I urgently need your help, and I hope you can be on my side."

He put Coco Dora on the ground, squatted down in a position that would not hurt his left leg, and stretched out his hand in front of the other party, "If you agree, please shake my hand."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kokodora raised her front paws without hesitation and put them in his palm.

"Guduo!"

Needless to say!

It nodded very seriously, as if answering a natural question.

"Ah...thank you."

The smile at the corner of Kashiwagi's mouth bloomed uncontrollably.
