Chapter 46 Meloko’s Past
Slowly, Meroko, who fainted during the battle, opened his eyes and slowly woke up.
She stared confusedly at the scene she saw when she opened her eyes. All she could see was that she was surrounded by a group of Crocodiles. She didn't even know that she was rescued by this group of wild Pokémon when she fell. After a while, he regained consciousness.
"Oh, it turns out that I have already been defeated."
Looking back at the venue where the previous battle took place, Wang Liang's Four Stars team car had turned into a pile of scrap metal.
Meloko immediately said nervously.
"My..., where are my Pulonglongmu and Pulonglong? Are they okay?"
Two of the boys from the Tianxing team came over and said.
"Boss Meloko, you don't have to worry anymore! They're fine, the scrap metal there is just external machinery..."
As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed to the Pronglums behind him. They were safe and sound, except that they had patches on their bodies to treat injuries. They had woken up from the state of losing their ability to fight... Only then did Meroko feel relieved. Come.
He then looked up at Xiaozhi and Pikachu who had defeated him, and then looked at the brothers who were members of the Fire Gang. A trace of loneliness could be seen on the faces of the big guys, but as the boss, Mero knew that I can't just stay depressed.
He stood up, patted the dust on himself and said.
"Brothers, we must not break the rules set by our Tianxing team, and we must not be underestimated by these outsiders who think they are righteous. We must always realize that what we do is righteous..."
Many younger brothers said reluctantly.
"Boss Meroko, stop talking. We don't want it to end here. We haven't lost everything yet. We can still fight."
Meroko suddenly got angry and said.
"Stop talking! I have made up my mind. I lost to this challenger because of my lack of ability... I hereby announce that as the leader of the Fire Gang, I will retire and the Fire Gang will be disbanded. The base of Wang Liang's Fourth Team is closed. If you want to quit, quit, and if you want to go to other bosses, go to other bosses."
"Boss Meloko, don't..."
Meroko had a sullen face, not letting others see his expression, he waved his hands and roared angrily.
"Get out of here quickly!"
"But……"
Meloko's tone trembled, and he spoke in a rare soft voice.
"...Let me retain some dignity, everyone."
Hearing this, all the boys who have spent time with Meloko know that as the top know-it-all of the Tianxing team, he can solve any problem forcefully. Although she strongly gives people the impression that she relies on strength to solve problems and has a cold attitude, as long as she makes up her mind, she will carry it out to the end. This straightforward personality makes her deeply trusted by her friends.
They didn't know what to say to Melocco's words, so they left here with farewells. Nie Kai also appeared at this time, standing with his hands behind his back among the people leaving against the current. Xiaozhi and the others were also moved by the fact that they could have this friendship.
Meroko said to himself.
"Really, this is the end. It burned and burned and burned... and finally it burned out."
Then, he strode towards Xiaozhi's direction. Because the long boots that reached his thighs were too long, Meroko couldn't bend his knees when walking. As a result, he swayed left and right while walking, and his legs moved. It can only stand upright and walk like a penguin. When he debuted, he was standing on the Tianxing team car and had no development. Now it seems a bit funny.
When he came to Xiaozhi, he said.
"Your Pikachu is really impressive, but I cannot compliment you..."
"what?"
Xiaozhi heard the other party's disdainful attitude and immediately retorted.
"You're the kid. My name is Xiaozhi. You'd better remember my name. You're such an ugly person with an arrogant attitude..."
As they spoke, the two continued to stare at each other fiercely, followed by a low growl of gnashed teeth.
At this moment, Nie Kai appeared behind everyone and mediated.
"Alright, Xiaozhi and Meloko, please stop arguing."
Seeing that it was Nie Kai who was coming, Xiaozhi couldn't help but complain.
"Nie Kai, you must have heard it. What I said is the truth. She is indeed a very unruly person..."
Suddenly, while Pronglum and Pulonglong were busy doing the follow-up finishing work, and they had not left yet, the door guard who had fought with Xiaozhi came forward and said.
"Boss Meloko is not who you say she is. She used to be a cute girl. This made her resentful and bullied by other girls. That's why she deliberately said ugly things and pretended to be very difficult to mess with. look like."
"Really, you did say unnecessary things. Thank you for helping me recover Pronglum and them. Please help me transfer them to Ordiga..."
After the explanation, the "talkative" Tianxing boy also left there.
Nie Kai, who heard the name "Ordiga", silently remembered him in her heart, and also learned her own personal intention of Meloco cooperating with other students to form the Tianxing Team.
Meroko continued.
"If you beat me, just stand up and take the team badge..."
As he spoke, he clenched his fist and swung it towards Xiaozhi's face. Xiaozhi was so shocked that he stepped back and closed his eyes tightly... After a while, he realized that he had not been attacked. Melo's clenched fist Stopped a slap distance in front of his face.
Xiaozhi opened his eyes and said angrily immediately.
"What are you doing? Are you dissatisfied and want to fight one more time?"
Meroko didn't say anything, but reluctantly opened his palm, which was the badge representing the leader of the Fire Gang, and handed it to Xiaozhi. After handing it to Xiaozhi, Meroko also noticed Xiaoqing behind them, taking pictures with a camera.
"What are you doing?"
Xiaoqing, who was scolded severely by Meloko, was so scared that she covered her ears with her hands. The scene just taken in the camera was recorded by the photo and fell down. Meroko also leaned over to pick up the photo.
I saw that the photo happened to capture the moment when I punched myself. Xiaozhi closed his eyes tightly, gritted his teeth, and took a half step back in fear, just like Xiaozhi was knocked down by Meroko's punch.
Xiao Qing immediately said tremblingly.
"I'm sorry, Meloko! I just wanted to help Xiaozhi take some photos of Stardust Wars. I never thought of asking for your opinion..."
On the other hand, Meroko was not as angry as he was at the beginning, and said slightly relaxedly.
"Forget it, seeing as how well you took the photo, I'm quite satisfied with this photo."
After saying that, he returned the photo to Xiaoqing, turned around and was about to leave... when Nie Kai stopped him and said.
"Wait a minute, Meroko-san!"
Meroko turned around, looked at this stranger to her with disdain, and still said angrily.
"Who are you, plane boy?...Why do you look familiar!"
Nie Kai immediately lowered his head, his eyes flickering, trying to avoid eye contact with Meloko, and continued to persuade without giving up.
"What are your plans after losing your position as leader of the Fire Gang?"
Melo was not the kind of person who was willing to listen quietly to others' lectures, so he immediately replied angrily.
"You don't need to worry about my affairs. Since I lost to Xiaozhi, I admit it...just let me have a good rest."
"I heard the Tianxing team member who just took away Pronglum say, do you want to join the Tianxing team to bully others because you have been bullied? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"
Merlot was furious, all the past grievances were still fresh in his mind, and he spoke loudly.
"What do you know? You don't understand us at all. You don't understand the greatness of the Sky Star War. For our Sky Star team, those memories are like treasures."
Nie Kai said puzzledly.
"Star Wars? Isn't it Stardust...? Why haven't I heard of this?"
"Really? I just said that you don't understand at all, and I have nothing to say."
Nie Kai saw that Merlot only agreed to retire and had no intention of changing his mind. When he saw that he was too soft, he would be tough and persuade him forcefully.
"I heard that the Tianxing team was formulating a plan to attack the academy at the base..."
Meroko looked in disbelief.
"There are such rumors? From that time to now, nothing has changed. That is absolutely impossible."
Seeing that this method of communication was useful, Nie Kai immediately struck while the iron was hot and said.
"Weren't you still riding around in a modified car just now?"
"That's the Tianxing team car. It was built for fighting! In fact, the first opponent it was used against was you."
"The first one? For fighting before?"
"It's true. It was prepared for the Tianxing Battle, but it was only recently that the design of the Tianxing team car was completed. The most important power issue was solved with my opinion. I can vouch for this."
Hearing this, Nie Kai secretly rejoiced in his heart that the Star Wars had started in time, nipping the irreversible bad situation in the cradle, and wondered who the Fairy Queen was. He actually had such an idea to help the college quell the disaster.
At this moment, the fire crocodiles, who were the indigenous people in the base, happily ran to Meroko, rubbed her affectionately, and played with her... which scared Xiao Qing and staggered her. He quickly retreated and was knocked down by the fire crocodile surrounding him.
This series of actions made Merlo, who was proficient in fire Pokémon, say unhappily.
"Hey, that girl! What are you doing? Are you so afraid of the fire crocodiles?"
Piper stood up and said.
"Don't mind, Xiaoqing is like this. She is afraid of fire-type Pokémon..."
Merlot was speechless for a while.
"What? What's so scary about a fire Pokémon..., wait, you said her name is Xiao Qing!"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
While Meroko was deep in thought, Nie Kai continued to speak.
"Looking at the fire crocodiles living here, I think this was originally the residence of the fire crocodiles, but it was subsequently surrounded by your Skystar team and turned into a base."
Meroko replied without retorting.
"Yes, but having said that, we have no intention of occupying the magpie's nest. On the contrary, we get along well with the fire crocodiles, and we will also provide a variety of things for this group of little guys who are not suitable for climbing trees and are greedy. of tree fruit.”
As he said this, Xiaozhi looked at the group of fire crocodiles. There were indeed many fire crocodiles eating tree fruits... At this time, Xiaozhi's fire crocodiles also ran out to mix in, and other wild fire crocodiles The Fire Crocodiles also shared an apple with it. Xiaozhi looked at the Fire Crocodile who was getting along happily with his compatriots and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Nie Kai said with slight relief.
"Of course, the facts don't lie. Looking at the attitude of the Fire Crocodiles towards you, I believe in you and know that you are not that bad after all... But I still hope that you can stop allowing your subordinates to go around. People join the Tianxing team."
Merlot waved his hand helplessly and said.
"Now if you ask me, a person who has retired from the position of the boss of the Tianxing Team, to make this condition, I can't satisfy you. As for really dismantling the Tianxing Team, I think I can only defeat the other four bosses."
After Meroko finished speaking, and just as he was about to leave, Nie Kai asked.
"Then, after you retire and lose the protection of the Tianxing Team, where will you go? Are you going back to Orange & Grape Academy?"
Merlot didn't mind it at all, but he still replied.
"Just let me be quiet for a while..."
After Meroko left, he came back and warned Xiaozhi who was beside him.
"That trio with Pikachu, you should be careful. Your presence has been spread among the other bosses."
Xiaozhi asked curiously.
"What's going on? I'm not familiar with your Tianxing team. Why is that?"
Only then did Meroko reveal the truth.
"Because the Rockets trio who just joined the team have already publicized your existence within the Tianxing team."
"Damn it, it's the Rockets again. I don't know what they are planning. Also, why do they want to join the Tianxing team? Have they been laid off internally by the Rockets?"
Nie Kai's expression also changed and he whispered softly.
"These three guys did unnecessary things again!"
Team Rocket, who had been following Xiaozhi and the others, could clearly hear the conversation between them, and the group said at a loss.
"Why have our existence been exposed?"
"There is nothing we can do. In this case..."
Musashi couldn't bear his temper and rushed out to say.
"Since you sincerely mention..."
"not good!"
At this moment, Kojiro and Meowth who were on the side came out and pushed Musashi back into the darkness.
The noise behind them caught the attention of Xiaozhi and the others. They turned around to look for them but could not see anyone, only thousands of leaves falling.
"Were there any noises just now? Piper."
"I don't know, maybe some other wild Pokémon is nearby."
No one paid much attention.
On the other hand, Team Rocket and the others, Musashi looked puzzled, broke away from Ojiro and Meowth's hands covering their mouths, and said loudly.
"What's wrong with you, why are you trying to stop me."
"We don't want to either. You should look at the man named Nie Kai."
After being reminded by Kojiro and Miaomiao, Musashi looked over and soon discovered the clues about Nie Kai.
"How could he..."
"That's right, facing us, who are considered masters in the cross-dressing industry, we can spot Nie Kai's poor cross-dressing at a glance."
"But, how could he..."
"No matter what, while he is still at the scene, we should stop thinking about attacking Pikachu after a fierce battle and wait and see what happens."
Meroko still had not been released from his suppressed emotions. Nie Kai understood but did not say anything more and allowed Meroko to leave. As they were leaving, it turned out that the wild Scorching Crocodile, who looked like the leader of this group of Fire Crocodiles, whispered a few words to the rose-red Fire Crocodile that Xiao Qing had mistakenly thought was Xiaozhi, as if he was explaining something. Seemingly, he also hurriedly chased after him.
Nie Kai told Xiaozhi and the others.
"Thank you, Xiaozhi. It's because of your efforts that Meroko of the Tianxing team retired. Now you still have four people to defeat. Please be more careful."
After saying that, he came and left in a hurry.
Xiaozhi saw that his Fire Crocodile was mingling with the wild Fire Crocodiles and nibbling an apple deliciously in his mouth. He secretly made up his mind and pushed Xiao Qing and Pipa to leave quietly. Got there.
Pikachu was panicked for a moment and didn't know why Xiaozhi did this. He hesitated in place, as if he wanted to remind Fire Crocodile, but Fire Crocodile didn't notice the whispers of Ash and the others.
Xiao Qing also said in confusion.
"Xiao Zhi, why did you..."
However, under Xiaozhi's insistence, everyone left the woods where wild fire crocodiles lived.
