It all starts with helping Pokémon

Chapter 27 The Cursed Gengar Doll
"..."

With a puzzled expression on his face, Hoshino suddenly stopped behind Lilia, even though he didn't get along with his classmates very much at school...

But for such a long time, when he was tired of sleeping and looking at the scenery, he also saw other people releasing Pokémon, but only Lillie didn't.

"Hey, she shouldn't..."

Hoshino thought of a possibility, especially after seeing that the other party was so desperate to catch the Pippi doll, he confirmed his guess.

Isn't this the mood of wanting to tame a Pokémon?But if you can't catch the real one, you can only use a fake doll instead.

Thinking of this, he stood behind the other party like this, and observed for a while without being noticed.

Then I watched Li Liai's mentality getting more and more broken, but she kept holding back and refused to give up...

"Put the paw a little to the right."

"Ok?"

Suddenly hearing a somewhat familiar voice behind her, Lilia was slightly taken aback, but right now she didn't have time to find out who it was.

However, she did so subconsciously. This time, the claws just happened to catch the bow on the back of the Pippi doll, and it seemed that she was going to fail again.

"Yeah, when the equidistance is up to 5 centimeters away, just throw it with all your strength!"

"..."

Lilia really wanted to know who was guiding her, and Mizuki and the others, who were obviously at the same skill level as her, went shopping.

But she still made a decision in an instant, watching the Pippi doll caught by the hook claws constantly shaking, and there was a risk of falling down at any time.

She checked the distance and decisively swung the joystick to throw the hook. The Pippi doll was also thrown out directly, and it just fell from the edge of the exit.

"This is all right?!"

"Wait...it worked!"

Lillie took out the different-colored Pipi doll, hugged it in her arms, and then turned around excitedly, but there was no one behind.

She looked around, and finally her eyes fell on the backs of Hoshino and Motor Lizard, her expression froze for a moment, and then she pursed her lips and smiled...

Hoshino didn't really want to help her, but he just didn't want to owe her a favor. He was rescued by Lilia at the seaside before and picked him up, so he should help this time.

"Okay, keep fishing... go to work!"

"Moli~"

The day ended in fishing. After getting off work at ten o'clock in the evening, Hoshino came to the claw machine again and looked at Geng Gui in it.

Although it was added at noon, a lot has been taken away now. The only thing that remains the same is still the Geng ghost doll with a mischievous smile.

"So where is the problem? There is absolutely no problem with my technology..."

Hoshino made a few coins, and came back here to try again, but the result was still the same. This Geng ghost doll could never be caught, as if there was some kind of curse, it would not be caught.

"Moligo!"

"You want to try too? Then I'll give it to you."

"Moli~"

Motor Lizard threw in coins and began to operate, but it was as expected.

Seeing this, Hoshino didn't try any more. It's been a day of work today, so it's better to go back to rest early, anyway, this doll can't run away here.

After they left, it didn't take long for the store to be empty. The boss turned off all the lights and went home. With the door closed, the store seemed to be completely swallowed by darkness at this moment, and there was a deep silence.

It's just that in this darkness, a pair of red eyes suddenly lit up in a certain claw machine!
"Gengar~"

……

The next day was Monday again. After returning all the money owed on credit to Boss Boss, Hoshino survived safely, and there was no rush to pay the rent. We will wait until the end of the month.

When I came to school as usual, I thought everything was the same, but there were still some changes.

When he took out a book of unknown class and put it on the table to go to bed, Lilia at the front desk turned sideways, brushing her hair with her white fingers, and said softly with a smile, "That yesterday...thank you!"

"There is nothing to thank, go to your class, don't disturb my sleep..."

"..."

Li Liai couldn't fix it with a single sentence, and almost wiped out the good impression that was rarely recovered.

She pursed her mouth, frowned slightly, and stared at her with a lovely angry expression. She turned around and ignored it...

After school in the afternoon, Hoshino and Motor Lizard rushed to the store immediately. Fortunately, the Gengar doll was not taken away, and continued to smile, lying among a group of ghost-type Pokémon dolls.

Then after get off work, he and the motorcycle lizard went to exchange some coins, specifically to catch Gengar dolls.

If you want to say why, there is an obsession that refuses to give up. It is the same as playing bosses in soul games, skipping classes is impossible.

Every time he watched Geng Gui's doll fall off from the hook, Hoshino's face gradually calmed down, and he no longer almost shut himself up like before.

A good mentality is the key to playing games, and as a technical talent in this area, as long as you take catching the Geng ghost doll as your breakthrough goal, it will be fine.

"Half salary is gone again, go home."

"Moli~"

"Gengar~"

"Ok?"

Hearing this laughter again, Hoshino stood up with a frown, and subconsciously looked at the Geng Gui doll in the claw machine, but found nothing unusual.

If the opponent does not need help at the moment, the map will not show the existence of Pokémon.

Moreover, Geng ghosts are generally around 1.5 meters in size. Are there really Geng ghosts less than 0.3 meters in this world?Ghosts are bigger than this.

"It's impossible for the obvious doll, but if Geng Gui secretly hides and plays pranks, then I believe it."

Hoshino put his hands in his pockets and went back to eat with the motorcycle lizard. Soon the shop was dark again. All the dolls were lying quietly in the claw machine, but the pair of red eyes lit up again.

"Gengar~"

Geng Gui's doll swayed slightly, and finally turned over with difficulty, but it ended up buried in other dolls, and the red light disappeared...

From this day on, after get off work every day, Hoshino and the motorcycle lizard would come here to operate a wave, and he had already set the capture of the Gengar doll as a goal.

Isn't this very similar to the previous Lillie, the only difference is the problem of mentality, he didn't use the game to vent his emotions, it might be better to say that he was playing with Pokémon like this.

And as the days went by, the "Gengar~" cry that came from nowhere, could clearly feel that it was ridiculed at the beginning, and then turned into a happy one.

Hoshino's understanding of Pokémon's calls is still improving, so he can tell that this is a Pokémon laughing...

In a blink of an eye, it is already mid-December, and in about a week, the school will start its winter vacation.

With the onset of winter, the temperature on Melomele Island has completely dropped. It is said that in a few days, there may be rare snowfall here.

However, I didn't see the snow, but it was really raining. The sudden heavy rain caused Hoshino to be chased by Meow Meow on the way to work on the weekend, and the car was overturned, and his pants were ripped off.

Helpless, he can only temporarily ask for leave today. After he has money to get a mobile phone card, he is no longer that single-player player, so he can contact others conveniently.

Although it was the weekend, under the oppressive atmosphere of the heavy rain, there were a lot fewer people going out to shop, and the business of the claw machine shop was also a bit sluggish, so it would be the same today without him, and the boss would be happy to save two Parts wages.

The Gengar doll is quietly lying in the claw machine. Halloween has long passed, and the ghost-type Pokémon dolls are no longer popular. Now there are very few people who come here every day to catch it.

It still hugged its stomach, kept that mischievous smile, just kept motionless, looking out through the glass, but today it didn't seem to see the human being who played with it every day.

But this kind of thing is also very common, as long as it waits until the evening... But it waited until the evening, and it still didn't see the other party appear.

In the world outside the glass, there are far fewer people walking around, so it can only keep this expression and look outside.

Finally, I waited until a few people came to this claw machine, but everyone had already heard the rumors about Geng Gui's doll, and except for those persistent guys, no one was willing to waste money to continue to catch it.

Time continued to pass. Although it was still early for the store to close, there were no other customers in the store, and the lights were half turned off.

Under the background of this dim scene, the Geng Gui doll who could only keep smiling seemed to have a trace of loneliness and loneliness, even if he was surrounded by other dolls, it was like this every day...

But soon, it heard footsteps approaching its side, so it immediately recovered its mood and barked as usual.

"Gengar~"

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps stopped in front of the machine, but reflected in the dim scene above, it was a figure holding a screwdriver, and then, a sly smile appeared on that person's face...
