Pokémon that goes with the flow

Chapter 104 A lot of gophers

"Why are there so many cars here?"

Hoshino murmured, looking at the freight trucks passing by in front of him, feeling a little confused.

Not long ago, Hoshino and Xiaozhi and their group got lost in the mountains again. Under the leadership of Xiaogang, everyone began to look for a way out without any clue.

At this moment, there was a loud noise in the distance, and the ground began to shake.

Such an obvious phenomenon naturally attracted the attention of Hoshino, Xiaozhi and others, and everyone unanimously decided to check out the situation, and maybe they could find a way out.

They jogged all the way and soon came to a wide yellow mud road. Then Hoshino saw the scene at the beginning.

Seeing these large trucks filled with various building materials, combined with the half-built buildings not far away, Hoshino thought to himself, is there any large building being built nearby? ...Well~, it has nothing to do with me anyway, as long as I can find a way.

Just when he was still thankful that he could finally get out of the mountains, what happened next made him dumbfounded.

I saw that the road ahead suddenly collapsed, and the truck at the front fell into the pit. The trucks behind also had no time to brake. One after another, they collided with each other and piled up in a staggered pile. It instantly turned into a large car accident scene. .

"What's going on... No! Now is not the time to talk about this. Go and save people!"

In desperation, Hoshino threw all his Poké Balls and called out all the Pokémon. Xiaozhi and others were also shocked by the car accident in front of them, but they quickly reacted and sent their Pokémon to rescue people.

Fortunately, although this car accident appeared to be very serious, no one was injured.

During Hoshino's rescue, he also encountered another group of Pokémon participating in the rescue.

[Gopher, mole Pokémon, Pokémon that move in shallow underground areas, the ground will bulge wherever it passes...]

"Earth~earth~"

Although gophers are small in size, they are numerous in number. They used their smooth little heads to push the car up, while the giant needle wasps and Bobo tried their best to pull the car up in the air.

While both parties were lifting the car, Scorpio quickly cleaned up the debris around him, while Hoshino used the rescue space created by the Pokémon to reach in and pull out the people trapped in the car. come out.

"Quick! Give me your hand!"

......

Everyone and Pokémon worked together and successfully rescued the last trapped person.

Seeing that no one was injured, Hoshino breathed a sigh of relief, and then expressed his gratitude to the gophers who had just helped them.

"Earth~earth~!" The gophers smiled and said there was no need to thank them. On the contrary, they wanted to thank Hoshino and the others.

"......ah?"

Hearing what the gophers said, Hoshino didn't react for a moment. When he was about to ask the gophers why they said that, the gophers had already burrowed into the ground and left through the small mounds of soil.

Immediately afterwards, a man in work clothes ran over panting from a distance, shouting angrily as he ran, "You abominable group of gophers!!!"

By the time the man ran over, the gophers had already disappeared. Then the man fell to his knees sadly on the ground, clenched his fists with his hands, kept hitting the ground and screamed miserably.

"A plague of gophers! A plague of gophers..."

Seeing this scene, Hoshino was a little at a loss. To be honest, everything happened too fast. Before he could understand what the gopher just said, another uncle came who seemed to have a grudge against the gopher. Here is What happened?

While Hoshino was stunned, the man's wailing also attracted Xiaozhi and others. Seeing the uncle crying desperately, they were also confused.

Xiaozhi asked with concern: "Are you okay? What happened to the gophers?"

"Yes, the gophers just helped rescue the people trapped in the car~." Xiaoxia happily covered her cheeks, "And they are so cute~"

"It's not cute at all!!!" Xiaoxia's words seemed to anger the uncle, and he shouted angrily at Xiaoxia, "It was those gophers who caused this car accident!"

Then the uncle complained to everyone about what happened. It turned out that a reservoir construction project was underway here, and he was the person in charge of this project.

The project was going smoothly until the gophers appeared...

I don’t know what happened, but the group of gophers that suddenly appeared began to cause damage overtly and covertly, causing the project to be delayed.

At this point, the uncle began to slap the helmet repeatedly, and in a blink of an eye, the helmet was broken into pieces. This scene made Hoshino break into a cold sweat. How much he hates gophers...

"Those gophers are a group of demons!" The uncle looked up to the sky and roared, then fell to his knees again like a wilted balloon, and kept chanting, "I hate gophers, I hate gophers, I hate. ....."

boom--!

A violent explosion sounded again, and the hillside not far away began to collapse, with broken stones falling into the construction site below.

Seeing this scene, Xiaogang thought of the loud noise that attracted them here before, "It turns out that the explosion was during the reservoir project..."

"That's it!" After hearing Xiaogang's words, the uncle began to complain to everyone again, "No matter how we blow up the mountain, without the equipment from behind, I am completely helpless!"

Then the uncle began to be furious at the sky again, constantly waving his fist at the air, as if he was crushing a gopher.

However, Xiaogang ignored the uncle and looked at the construction site in the distance, frowning in distress, "How could this happen..."

After a while, the uncle seemed to have finally vented his depression, although he looked very haggard.

"In order to get rid of the troublesome gophers, we set up a special response team." The uncle slowly turned around and looked at Hoshino, Xiaozhi and his group with his bloodshot eyes, "We are soliciting excellent trainers from around the area. Family, please ask them to come and help. For this, we have also prepared a generous reward, which is a hospitality voucher for four days and three nights in the hot spring village..."

Having said this, the uncle finally reacted and looked at the strange young people in front of him with confusion, "By the way, you are..."

"Hey~hey~, we are the excellent trainers nearby..." Xiaozhi on the side rubbed his head in embarrassment and began to introduce himself.

"Oh~, so you are the first batch of trainers to be found~!" After learning the identity of Xiaozhi and his trainers, the uncle instantly became happy, but he seemed to have misunderstood something...

"We are not found here, actually..."

Xiaozhi wanted to explain, but the rapid sound of brakes behind him interrupted his words, and a voice that was extremely familiar to Xiaozhi sounded.

"The first batch of trainers are reporting now, and the others are my cheerleading team~!" A young man with brown hair made his debut in a sports car, with many beauties of different styles sitting on the sports car... Isn’t this really overloading? ! There are almost ten people sitting in one car! Hey~!

Seeing the person coming, Xiaozhi subconsciously called out his name, "Xiao Mao?"

"Are you... Xiaozhi?" Xiao Mao was also a little surprised. Obviously he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, and then he found a familiar figure standing next to him, "What a coincidence. , Xiaoxing is here too, it seems that what grandpa said about you and Xiaozhi traveling together is true."

Xiao Mao then asked Xiang and the two of them, "Were you also found here?"

Xiaozhi broke into a cold sweat, "Uh...this..."

"I know, you guys came here by chance~." Xiao Mao saw Xiao Zhi's guilty look and instantly understood what Xiao Zhi was thinking. He then waved his hand to Xiao Zhi mockingly, "After all, they want to What I am looking for is a trainer like me who is the number one in Zhenxin Town, not a trainer like you who is the fourth."

"Fourth place?" After hearing Xiao Mao's words, Xiao Zhi asked Xiao Mao unconvinced, "Who do you think is fourth place! Why do you say that!"

"Of course it's because you are the fourth new trainer to start on the same day~." Xiao Mao pointed at Xiaozhi disdainfully, "Don't you think so~, the last one~"

"Who said I was the last one? The little star is obviously the one!"

"Huh?! You actually have the nerve to compete with Xiaoxing?!"

"This...I..."

Xiaozhi was speechless by Xiaomao's rhetorical question. He didn't know how to refute it for a moment... So have you ever considered the feeling of the person involved being right next to you? !

Hoshino always felt that what they said was inexplicably hurtful, but he cared more about the content of what they said than this.

Is this his grandson Xiaomao that Dr. Omu mentioned before? And he seems to be very familiar with me, so I should know him too, after all, they are all trainers from the same place...

Hoshino thought about his words and greeted Xiaomao. After all, they already recognized me, so it would be impossible to say hello without saying hello.

"Then... that Xiaomao, long time no see..."

"Hey~ Xiaoxing, long time no see~." Hearing Xingye calling him, Xiaomao stopped arguing with Xiaozhi and waved to Xingye, "Xiaoxing, you are still the same~, still so introverted~ .”

"Xiaoxing has been different for a long time!" Xiaozhi got in front of Xiaomao and retorted loudly: "Xiaoxing has not been the same since he went on a trip!"

"Oh? Isn't that great~." Perhaps because he thought Xiaozhi was too annoying, Xiaomao pushed Xiaozhi's head away, continued to look at Hoshino, and then nodded, "Well~, it does look true now. Much better.”

"Okay!!! Stop chatting!" The uncle in charge rushed between the two of them and shouted at everyone, "Aren't you here to drive away the gophers?! We have to talk after we finish chatting!"

Seeing the uncle's neurasthenic appearance, Xiaomao shrugged helplessly at Hoshino, "You also saw that the uncle said so, so I'll leave first and let's talk later~"

With that said, Xiaomao got into his sports car again and drove away, waving his hands to Hoshino and Xiaozhi coolly.

"This guy Xiaomao!" Xiaozhi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he looked at the taillights of the car in the distance, "Just watch out! I will prove that I am not the last one!!!"

Then Xiaozhi turned to Hoshino and said: "Xiaoxing, let the two of us join forces and let Xiaomao see how powerful we are! Let him see the changes in you and me!"

"Uh... okay..." Hoshino nodded stiffly with a cold sweat on his head.

...This...this is the so-called strong enemy...

"Let's set off now! We must not let Xiaomao take the lead!" Xiaozhi never thought about whether he could catch up with the sports car, and then looked at Xiaogang and Xiaoxia.

"Xiaoxia Xiaogang, we...uh...what happened to Xiaogang?" Xiaozhi noticed that Xiaogang's cheeks were red at this time, and there were many little hearts around him. , and didn't hear Xiaozhi calling him at all.

Xiaoxia, who was standing next to Xiaogang, answered, "Hey~, he...has been fascinated by Xiaomao's cheerleading team~"

Xiaoxia waved her hands helplessly and sighed deeply, saying that when Xiaozhi and Xiaomao were arguing just now, Xiaogang rushed directly to the cheerleaders and asked for their contact information.

Although they rejected him, Xiaogang still didn't give up...

"This...is so..." Hoshino expressed understanding.

Since all my attention was taken away by Xiaomao just now, I didn't see it. Now it seems that Xiaogang's performance is still stable...

......

Hoshino and Xiaozhi arrived at the construction site on a bus arranged by the person in charge. The person in charge gathered all the trainers in an open space, and he himself stood on a box as a podium. Begin to prepare and announce the next thing to drive away the gophers.

"All outstanding Pokémon trainers, welcome to here, thank you so much!" The uncle had already put on a new helmet at this time, and said to everyone with a loudspeaker: "Please come next Everyone works hard to drive away the gophers, we will not treat you badly..."

Xiaozhi, who was standing in the last row of the crowd, looked around curiously, obviously not expecting so many people to come. Xiaozhi's actions naturally attracted the uncle's attention, and he was very dissatisfied with Xiaozhi's casual behavior.

"Hey~! I'm talking about you! The last one! Don't look around!"

The uncle yelled at Xiaozhi, and his words were a bit unpleasant because he was angry. This sounded even more so to Xiaozhi after being stimulated by Xiaomao.

Xiaozhi lowered his head with some dissatisfaction, completely lost in his own thoughts...

"Why call me that when I have a good name..."
