It all starts with helping Pokémon

Chapter 24 Going to the Crane Machine with the Motor Lizard
School is over at 4:6 pm, and Kabukicho opens at [-]:[-] pm, so you don't have to rush back.

However, because of deceiving Meiyue deliberately in the morning, all the students in the class don't like him at all, and completely isolate him.

He also managed to fight against the whole class on his own, but just like his habit, he doesn't care what other people think of him, even if he is hated by everyone, just sleep and ignore it.

I have lived like this for more than 20 years in my previous life, even if I suddenly time travel and turn back to 15 years old, it will not be so easy to change...

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

"Moli~"

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

Hoshino had to find a part-time job, a part-time job that he could go to for a few hours every day after school, and then change to other jobs on weekends.

After leaving on the motorcycle lizard, he thought about the battle in the morning, and indeed, as Mizuki said, he couldn't command the motorcycle lizard to use moves.

Although the strength is very strong, it is meaningless if you can't use the moves. That wooden owl is very flexible. If you don't cheat the opponent, the motorcycle lizard will definitely not be able to catch it. It will be hard to tell the winner in class.

"But there is no way..."

Hoshino is also very helpless at this point. After saving enough money, he will go find a Pokémon that suits him during the winter vacation. The kind that can fight...

The commercial district of Hauole City, as the most prosperous neighborhood in the entire Hauole City, is full of people who come here to shop and enjoy, even on weekdays.

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

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

Moreover, this store allows Pokémon to work part-time, and the motorcycle lizard also passed the interview, but the salary will be lower, and the main task is to keep the shop.

Generally speaking, the business district is the busiest at night, so his working hours are from 5:10 pm to [-]:[-] pm. On weekends, he can come to work directly for a day, and he is charged by the hour.

As for why he found a claw machine shop, it was because the motorcycle lizard wanted a wooden owl doll, so he might as well grab one...

Due to the urgent need for money, he started working directly on the same day, and the boss was happy to settle the wages until ten o'clock in the evening. At this time, there were not many people in the store.

"It turned out to be basically little ghosts and lovers, noisy and rowdy..."

Hoshino complained a bit, but he could relax after work, because the motorcycle lizard also worked with him, and this wave was double salary.

"Moli~"

"Okay, I'll take you to pick up the doll."

While working, he is also observing which ones are easy to clamp and which ones are not, and he has a rough idea of ​​them.

But he is also a master of the claw machine, this time he mainly came to point out that this kind of thing is meaningless if it is not made by himself!

Hoshino brought the motorcycle lizard to a crane machine full of stand-in dolls. A small amount of Yusanjia dolls from the Alola region were mixed in among these stand-in dolls, and the entire store was only available here.

"Have you got the coins?"

"Moligo!"

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

Hoshino asked the motorcycle lizard to stand aside to observe, then put in two coins, grabbed the joystick with one hand, and put the other hand on the button, and began to operate.

He watched the hook move with a serious expression, then quickly lowered it, grabbed a stand-in doll, and directly pushed the rocker, and swung it over, just in time for it to fall from the exit and roll out.

"See, it's that simple!"

Hoshino took out the stand-in doll with a smile, and the motorcycle lizard instantly became excited when he saw it.

"Moligo!"

"Don't worry, you have to be patient when you play this game, you come and play, I will direct by the side."

"Moligo!"

Two coins were thrown in, and the motorcycle lizard followed what he did just now, and began to operate seriously. It was only the first time to play with this kind of thing, not to mention the wooden owl doll, and even the stand-in doll could not be caught.

However, under Hoshino's earnest guidance, after consecutive failures and half of today's salary was taken back by the boss, he finally succeeded once and got a stand-in doll, which made him happy.

"Molimo Lizard~"

"Yeah, keep up the good work. I saw Mu Muxiao's feet in the middle pile. Let's throw away the stand-in dolls on it first."

"Moligo!"

The motorcycle lizard continued to operate, Hoshino thought about it, and now he simply didn't give a reminder, let's see what happens next.

After one success, the next step was indeed much easier. The Motor Lizard came out with several stand-in dolls, and Hoshino helped it pick them up.

But as the dolls inside began to decrease, it became more and more difficult to clamp, all kinds of empty hooks, or fell during the ascent after being clamped.

Finally, all the salary of the motorcycle lizard was recovered by the boss, and the trophies were ten stand-in dolls, and Mu Muxiao still only showed his feet and lost blood.

"Moli..."

The motorcycle lizard turned around pitifully, with tears rolling down his face, it was too good to get out, he didn't want to play anymore, and lost all his money.

After Hoshino installed all the stand-in dolls, he patted it on the head and encouraged it with a smile: "If you lose, you lose. I'll go and exchange coins for you. No matter what you do, don't give up!"

He didn't feel bad about the money. Since he said he wanted to bring the motorcycle lizard to Mu Muxiao by himself, he naturally had to do it. The agreement with Pokémon was very important to him.

Then the salary recovery plan started again, and they left work at 10 o'clock, and they stayed until 11 o'clock. The tickets they earned tonight were almost squandered.

Putting in the last two coins in his hand, the motorcycle lizard was concentrating, not daring to relax a bit. Hoshino observed carefully and began to direct.

Watching the claws swaying and falling down bit by bit, one of the claws happened to hook the tag on Mu Muxiao's buttocks, it was just the right time!

"Just throw it over!"

"Moligo!"

The motorcycle lizard reacted instantly, almost broke the joystick, and finally pulled Mu Muxiao out from the middle of the stand-in doll, and successfully threw it into the exit and fell!
"Moligo!"

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

"It hurts..."

After struggling to free himself, Hoshino was also happy for it, and then he took the doll out, and then his expression was slightly taken aback, because this wooden owl was a little different, it turned out to be light green, with cat ears.

"It's a limited-edition collaboration model, Mu Muxiao in New Yemiao's clothes! It's paid off!"

"Molimo Lizard~"

The two guys cheered up like urchins, and the boss who completed the salary collection task in the distance was even happier than them...

In the end, 21 stand-in dolls and 1 interlocking wooden owl doll were won. Although the salary was almost spent, it was not a loss at all.

The motorcycle lizard was very happy holding the wooden owl doll, and Hoshino also cleaned up those stand-in dolls, ready to go home for dinner.

But at this moment, his eyes caught a glimpse of something, and quickly used the remaining salary to exchange two coins back, then put them in, operated with his hands, and got out a double doll.

"Moli?"

The motorcycle lizard was a little puzzled, not knowing what it was doing, there were already so many of them.

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

Hoshino picked out the doll and let it take a look, only to find that this stand-in doll has a different color scheme. There is a tire-like bump on its stomach and blush on its face. It looks a bit like that who?
"Moli?"

"That's right, this is your stand-in doll!"

He didn't expect this to be mixed in here, but the exclusive move of the motorcycle lizard, the broken tail, is to create a double, and it seems normal to mix in.

"Moli~"

Looking at this miniature version of himself, the motorcycle lizard was stunned, but he didn't accept it. It was enough for it to have a wooden owl doll, so naturally it had to be left to Hoshino.

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

"Moli~"
