It all starts with helping Pokémon

Chapter 28 Take the caught doll home
Rows of umbrellas passed by in the business district, but the person holding them below didn't know what they saw, and they took the initiative to get out of the way.

Hoshino and the Motor Lizard walked among them. He was covered in bloody bandages, one eye was blocked, and the iconic goggles hanging around his neck were also cracked.

Although it looks incomparable in the second grade, but in this weather and environment, it looks very scary. It is obvious that Halloween is over...

"Even if the battle damage is limited... Daily check-in is absolutely indispensable!"

Hoshino also has his own obsessions. Even though he was injured more seriously this time than last time, he still ran out of the hospital tenaciously. Of course it wasn't because the ward there charged by the hour.

But these are not the main reasons. When he was eating in the hospital more than ten minutes ago, he suddenly received a message from the owner of the claw machine shop.

Said that the Geng Gui doll was stolen by someone who pried the machine away when no one was around, so he ran over in a hurry without taking off the bandage.

"Those brats, have you finally made a move!"

Without even thinking about it, Hoshino knew that those guys must have done it. He paid attention to it every day at work, and it was lucky that he could bear it for half a month.

I came to the store with the motorcycle lizard, and there was still a long time before closing, but there were no customers in sight, only a few employees in charge of maintenance were conducting daily inspections and were getting ready to leave work.

After seeing him coming suddenly, these people were also taken aback. Hoshino ignored it, put the umbrella at the door, and went to the machine to have a look. Sure enough, the Geng Gui doll was gone. Traces of being pried open.

"Moligo!"

Motor Lizard pointed to the monitor not far away and told him to go and watch. Hoshino nodded and went directly to the front desk.

The lady at the front desk was feeding Tiantian to her cute horsefly, and then she was about to pack up and go home from get off work. When she saw him suddenly appear, she was also taken aback, and almost knocked over the jar of Tiantian.

"Then... check the monitoring, thank you."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Hoshino really frightened him, so he quickly looked at the surveillance during this period, although because of the angle, he didn't see who pried it.

But 10 minutes before the incident, a child ran into the store and didn't leave until after the incident, and the child looked familiar.

It was half a month ago, that kid who was clamoring that there was something wrong with the machine, Hoshino could see this guy every two days or so, and he didn't know what he was doing.

It seems that there is a premeditated plan, waiting for the time when I am not around, I can do it secretly.

"I left 21 minutes ago. It's been a long time, but I didn't bring an umbrella. If you can't run far, let's go. How can the things I guard be stolen by this kind of brat!"

"Moligo!"

They haven't caught that Geng Ghost doll for half a month, and now it's stolen. It's unforgivable. It will be severely punished three times ah three times!

Hoshino went out with it, and then the map of the entire business district appeared in front of him instantly. The camera at the door had captured where the other party was leaving from. Just look for it from here!

At the same time, in an alley just outside the shopping plaza, a few children seemed to have encountered something very scary and ran out screaming.

A pink Geng ghost doll was thrown into the puddle by these guys while they were running away in a panic.

The rain still kept dripping rapidly from the hazy night sky, hitting the Geng Gui doll, and the water level in the puddle gradually rose.

After the doll got wet and soaked in water, the cute girly pink on its body was gradually dyed gray, absorbing the rainwater, the body weight increased, and it was impossible to turn over.

It just turned its body sideways like this, its eyes emitting a faint red light, just like this in a haze, looking at the children who escaped in the distance...

I don't know how long it took, at a corner of a street on the other side of the business district, Hoshino finally caught the kid who stole the doll.

Half a minute ago, he watched these guys running around in the rain, so with quick eyesight and quick hands, he directly picked him out from among these guys.

"You bully children, shameless!"

"I can't be here if I want face. What about the things I stole from the store, hand them over!"

The motorcycle lizard helped to hold the umbrella, and also stood aside with an unhappy expression, how could it be cheerful in this situation.

"What are you stealing! Where did I get the doll? You are slandering my innocence for no reason. You are still a trainer. I want to sue Miss Junsha!"

Seeing that the kid was still talking hard, Hoshino stopped talking nonsense with him, grabbed the other person's ear, curled his mouth and said in a cold voice: "Ah? Why don't you go back with me to watch the surveillance? Or call me your parents! "

"Wow wow! I hit someone!"

The pain from the ear made the kid burst into tears instantly, but Hoshino caught a glimpse of the little genius phone watch on his wrist, so he took it off directly, and then the corners of his lips raised slightly.

Seeing this scene, the little ghost became quiet again in an instant, and immediately became anxious, reaching out to grab it.

But how could such a thin guy be better than Hoshino and Pokémon's battle of wits and courage, in exchange for this limited battle damage!
He held the other party down with one hand, and then pressed the speed dial on the watch. After a few buzzes, the call was answered.

"Hello? Son, why don't you come back for dinner so late? Your mother bought you your favorite Dazui Bazai today. Come back quickly."

Hearing his father's voice, the kid was flustered, and quickly shouted: "I'll tell you! I left that haunted doll in the alley outside the shopping plaza. Please don't call my dad over!"

"A haunted doll?" Hoshino was slightly taken aback.

"That's right, its eyes glow..."

"..."

He pondered for a moment, and then said lightly to the watch: "Your account is almost useless, if you can't save it, just open another trumpet."

"Who are you! Where is my son!"

Hoshino ignored the other party's scolding. After letting go of the kid, he threw the watch back, and then left with the motorcycle lizard. As for what will happen after that, it doesn't matter...

The night gradually deepened, the rain continued to wash away the surface, and the number of pedestrians on the street further decreased, but under the reflection of the neon lights of Hauole City, the entire city showed a different kind of beauty.

In the dark and gloomy uninhabited alley, the Geng Ghost doll lay on its side in a puddle half-submerged, allowing the heavy rain to destroy itself.

It still hugged its stomach, with the same mischievous smile on its face, its eyes emitting a faint red light, looking at the humans walking freely in the distance under the neon lights, and then a drop of rain fell from the corner of its eyes...

But at the next moment, with eyes dimmed with tears, it seemed that two figures were approaching quickly, and at the same time, there was a happy voice.

"I found it, I found it."

"Moli~"

"That brat didn't say anything specific, so I had to follow the flashing spot to find it."

Hoshino picked up the cold Geng Gui doll from the puddle, didn't care whether it was dirty or not, and held it in his arms, and said softly with some concern: "It's completely soaked, it needs to be dried well, This little skirt seems to be able to be taken off..."

"Gengar..."

Seeing the familiar face of the person holding him, the Geng Gui doll's eyes brightened a little, as if it was about to cry.

"Why are you crying, you should be laughing at this time." Hoshino pinched the water on Geng Gui's body, looked at its glowing eyes, and asked curiously, "So are you really a Pokémon?"

"Gengar~"

"No wonder, so why are you staying there, nowhere else to go?"

"Gengar..."

"yes……"

Hoshino could roughly understand what it meant, and then asked with a smile, "Are you going to my house? Although the space is not very big, it's no problem to stay here, and you can visit downstairs at any time."

"Gengar..."

It took a long time for Geng Gui to respond, his voice was a little low, obviously refusing the kindness, Hoshino saw its mischievous smile that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, and already understood its meaning.

"Moli..."

"Okay, let's go back to the store. Since it is a doll that was stolen, it must be put back in its original place. This is our job."

Hoshino held the Geng Gui doll in both hands, and walked towards the claw machine shop under the umbrella helped by the motorcycle lizard. Although it took a long time, the shop was not completely closed yet, and the boss was still inside.

When he came to the machine that had been pryed over, he wrung out all the water on the Geng Gui doll, put it back in, and looked at each other through the glass again.

"Moli..."

The motorcycle lizard lay on the glass, looking at the dolls inside, not understanding the intention, it wanted to break the glass and take out the dolls.

But at this time, Hoshino, who had quietly left for a while, returned here again, sat in front of the machine as usual, put in the two coins he had just exchanged, and began to operate with a serious expression.

Hook Claw still grabbed the Geng Gui doll so easily, but this time it grabbed it very steadily, and the other party didn't make any more trouble.

Watching the claws slowly move to the top of the exit, he let go like this, and when the doll fell out, it seemed that he could still hear happy cries...

Hoshino finally completed his goal for more than half a month and broke through the upper limit.

He held the Geng Gui doll in his arms again, stroked it gently, and said with a smile: "Since it's a doll you like, you have to grab it yourself and bring it home, right~"

"Moli~"

"Let's go, let's go home together!"

"Gengar~"

The mischievous smile on Geng Gui's face seemed to be really happy at this moment...
