My elf trainer simulator

Cold, dark and dreary.

Even if the environment of the abandoned mine is cleaned up by the quicksand team, it is still extremely worrying.

The head was so broken that it seemed like it might collapse at any time.

Fortunately, the inside is quite spacious. In order to allow the mining vehicle to transport ore to operate flexibly, the space left is surprisingly large.

Kashiwagi had to admire the fact that although the Ourei region was deserted, its technological level was extremely high.

Ten minutes have passed since we went down to the mine.

After someone entered the cave, they chose to dig out a jade stone from the outside. The ping-pong sound of the pickaxe hitting the rock wall made Kashiwagi extremely uneasy. He quickly moved away from his colleagues. Soon, he heard a terrifying roar and screams.

This brave man's behavior of traveling through thunder has put an end to many people's similar thoughts.

"Pay attention to your surroundings and don't get lost."

Headlamps illuminated the surroundings, and the bold colleagues walked at the front, whispering reminders from time to time.

In the quiet darkness, the breathing of others could be clearly heard through the masks. The claustrophobic environment subtly aggravated their psychological pressure.

Most children in Huangtie Town have experience going down mines, but the safety of normal mines and abandoned mines is completely different, not to mention potential traps and ambush Pokémon.

There is a part of being attacked by Pokémon in the assessment. For the Orei people, it is as scary as being shot while playing an escape room in China.

Therefore, grouping together for warmth has become the status quo, and the Quicksand Team has never prohibited teaming up to participate in assessments, so it is natural for them to move forward in a group.

However, according to seniors who have participated, groups in the mines are more vulnerable to attack and targeting. Even if you are lucky enough to get any target, there may be an uneven distribution of "the spoils" and you may become enemies.

Kashiwagi doesn't really want this to happen.

Originally, they didn't have much of an advantage against Shibata's gang. If they engaged in internal strife, they would most likely be bullied for the rest of their lives.

"There is a fork in the road ahead, be careful."

He gave a warning and looked around at his colleagues, "The ambush Pokémon is probably there... Don't be so nervous, relax and take a deep breath."

This group of people were either sweating profusely, breathing heavily, and looked a little panicked. They were obviously extremely nervous.

After finally waiting for them to calm down, Kashiwagi said: "Don't linger at the fork in the road, quickly choose a direction and pass through. I will come from behind."

"Eh?"

A group of people looked at him in surprise.

"Don't worry, hurry up. If the tokens are limited and taken away by others, we will have no chance."

Kashiwagi walked to the end of the team and said, "Hurry."

Crisis that occurs when people are extremely nervous will make people lose their minds, and their desire for survival will force them to do some unwise things. If they get into chaos while walking in front of the team, and they are dragged back by someone, they will be finished.

Even if the other party didn't mean it.

How to say something? When you encounter a bear in the wild, you don't need to run faster than the bear, just run faster than others.

He had no intention of adding insult to injury, but he had to avoid being inflicted upon himself.

"Kashiwagi..."

Not knowing what he was thinking, his colleagues looked at him with emotion, encouraged each other, and moved forward slowly.

Kashiwagi took a deep breath and observed his surroundings vigilantly.

Carelessness can kill people.

The worry about his life reminded him to stay calm all the time, to concentrate and pay attention to every suspicious thing.

Most of the Pokémon in the Quicksand Team are ground and rock-type, which are too suitable for underground mines. It would be unwise to have any fight with them here.

Enter the fork in the road.

The space was a little bigger again, and everyone suddenly tensed up their nerves. They looked around nervously to confirm whether it was safe and be ready to give warnings. The colleagues at the front did not dare to hesitate and went straight to the mine on the left——

"etc."

Kashiwagi, who was walking at the end, suddenly spoke up.

Everyone's hearts trembled, and cold sweat overflowed from their foreheads and backs.

"What, what's wrong?" someone asked tremblingly.

"Don't linger at the fork in the road, you said so!" Someone was nervous.

Kashiwagi hissed, "Listen carefully, do you hear a rumble? The ground is shaking too!"

A group of people looked at each other, subconsciously holding their breath and listening.

Kashiwagi was also listening. With his keen sense, he soon noticed that not only was the ground shaking, but the vague rumbling sound was getting louder, as if some object was gradually approaching.

The source is - the hole in the middle!

He was startled and immediately ran to the hole on the left while shouting: "Run, something is coming! Hurry!"

When the voice fell, a huge rolling stone as tall as a person suddenly appeared in the middle cave, moving from far to near at a surprisingly fast speed!

"Run that way?"

"left!"

"Which way is the left! Where is Kashiwagi!?"

"Quick, quick! Don't be stupid!"

The other four people were instantly panicked. Their headlights were dazzled by the swaying of their headlights, and they could not see clearly the dark road around them.

But what made matters worse was that as the shaking intensified, rocks continued to fall from the top, threatening to collapse, and everything visible to the naked eye began to tremble.

Crisis, panic and shouting.

A terrifying attack by a giant rolling stone.

Driven by various scalp-numbing factors, Kashiwagi subconsciously ran a long distance away.

Not only that, despite his busy schedule, he also carefully observed his surroundings to avoid touching traps and lurking Pokémon.

When he stopped to make sure he was safe and turned back, there was no one following him.

The huge rock, which was probably a rumbling stone, was nowhere to be seen.

"There are three paths in total. I chose the left, right?"

Kashiwagi frowned and waited for a minute, realizing that he was really separated from his colleagues.

Turn back?

Impossible, the Longlong Stone might be waiting there.

"..."

He had a look of regret on his face. There were advantages and disadvantages to forming a team during the assessment. Although those colleagues did not perform well when they were panicked, who knew whether the other party would lend a helping hand in times of crisis?

But if you are separated, let it be separated. There is no need to force it.

Kashiwagi gathered his emotions.

It's easy to lose your sense of direction when walking in an underground mine. Fortunately, if you look carefully at the rock walls on both sides, you can see the road signs that guide the direction. They are so simple that even a semi-literate person like him can understand them.

It took about ten minutes to walk.

He suddenly stopped and squatted down, turned off the bright headlight, and tried his best to shrink into the depression between the rocks to hide his figure.

After waiting for half a minute, two dragonfly-like ultrasonic larvae buzzed past the head. The sound of the wings flapping made Kashiwagi's head feel sore.

What made Kashiwagi's heart tremble was that one of them grabbed a young man covered in blood.

fainted? died?

Neither one is great, and it's too dangerous to fight alone.

After finally waiting for the two ultrasonic larvae to fly away, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stand up, but froze suddenly.

At the end of his sight, a pair of blue eyes looked at him.

"Gu?"

The unknown entity let out a low cry.

Kashiwagi's movements were slightly stiff, and the flapping sound of the ultrasonic larvae was so noisy that he didn't even recognize the sound of the guy in front of him.

He vaguely recognized it.

It was a strange creature with a dark gray body that looked like some kind of bug at first glance, and a head like a hockey mask.

The body is as big as an ordinary border collie, and the dark holes on its body are a bit scary.

[Iron Armor Pokémon, Cocodora]

It feeds on iron ore, and will even eat bridges and railroad tracks when driven by hunger. It is considered a pest by many people, and is a Pokémon with steel and rock attributes.

Damn it.

Too bad luck.

Kashiwagi's heart gradually became heavy.
