Chapter 943 Beggars' Sect
"Guest, your octopus balls." Kirlia used her superpowers to bring a plate of freshly baked octopus balls to the little girl who ordered them, then looked at the kitchen with a smile on her face. She had just sensed that when Farfetch'd was making the octopus balls, his mind was full of resentment. It could be said that Farfetch'd really wanted to prove himself at that time, and that resentment almost drove Kirlia silly. It was the first time she saw such a strong resentment in Farfetch'd. It seemed that what happened back then was indeed a huge blow to Farfetch'd.
"Sister Kirlia." A soft voice came. Kirlia turned around. She knew who the owner of the voice was. It was the girl who had just ordered octopus balls, a human cub who looked very young and small. She was soft and smelled of milk. She didn't look very old. But Kirlia didn't know why the little girl called her, so she was a little confused.
However, Kirlia could feel that the human cub in front of him did not have any malicious intent.
Kirlia was a little hesitant. She had been hurt by humans before. Even though she could come out to entertain guests now, she was still wary of humans, except for her trainer. So Kirlia didn't know what to do at this moment. So she stood in front of the girl carefully, making sure she could teleport away immediately if she found any problems, so that there would be no problems. As for hurting the other party? That wouldn't work. Kirlia was very smart. She knew that if she did that, it would cause trouble for her trainer.
"Sister Kirlia! Can we shake hands?" the little girl said in a baby voice. She was wearing a very special dress. Kirlia only then realized that it was a dress with Gardevoir, Kirlia and Ralts printed on it. Kirlia understood that the human should be the type that was interested in her, so she gently extended her hand and shook hands with the other party. The little girl smiled happily, and the woman next to her said thank you to Kirlia.
Kirlia looked at her hands, soft and warm. She could feel the happiness and joy behind her without looking back. Kirlia breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that not all humans were such terrible bad people. There were still good people.
Heath had no idea what his Pokémon was thinking just now, and he had a headache at the moment.
"Grandma, if you need anything, I can help you contact the Alliance's welfare home." Heath looked helplessly at the old woman in front of him. She was not dressed well, her clothes were a little dirty, and there were patches everywhere, but the cardboard box she stubbornly stretched out in front of him still exposed her purpose - begging.
Begging is not a strange thing. Even in the Pokémon world, a world where humans and Pokémon coexist, there are still beggars. It’s just that some beggars have really fallen to the point where they can only beg, while some people make money by begging. Just like when he was a child in his previous life, Heath himself had fantasized that if everyone in China gave him one dollar, then he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. But later Heath himself knew that this was impossible.
But there are always people who put this idea into action. They usually wear bright and beautiful clothes and look like successful people, but secretly they will change into dirty clothes and make themselves dirty so that acquaintances can't recognize them. Then they go out begging, using the love and kindness of others to make a fortune. Although it seems like a fairy tale, it is real in China. However, as people discovered the truth about these beggars and institutions such as welfare homes emerged, there are indeed fewer beggars now, but those who discovered the business opportunities first are still making a lot of money and are financially free for the rest of their lives.
Since such situations existed in the world of the previous life, it is natural that such situations also exist in the world of Pokémon. When Heath was in Evergreen City, Sister Feng and the others would often go out to deal with similar matters. Although the crime rate in Evergreen City is not high, there are always a few people like this who want to get rich by begging popping up from time to time, just like moles. You can never beat them all, and they are particularly secretive. Even if they are caught, the alliance does not have any corresponding regulations for this matter. At most, they will be educated and detained for a few days for public security, and then they will be released.
When the time comes, they move to another city and no one will be able to do anything to them.
And in Heath's opinion, the old lady in front of him was most likely the kind of person who wanted to get rich by begging. After all, when she first came in, her purpose was to ask for money, and she said that she was almost starving to death. But when Heath said that he could provide her with a free meal, she quickly said that she only wanted money and nothing else.
"Oh, my old waist, young man, please have mercy on me, an old woman, and give me some money, just a little bit will do. Good people will be rewarded!" The old lady was very persistent. The box in her hand was almost close to Heath's nose. Heath was a little annoyed. Although Heath did respect the elderly and love the young, it did not mean that Heath was a kind-hearted person without bottom line.
"Grandma, if you continue like this I'm going to call the police." Heath said unhappily, but the next second the old lady's eyes rolled, and her legs went weak and she knelt down, kowtowed to Heath in front of the audience, crying and wailing as she kowtowed, saying things like 'this is all the old woman wants' and 'young people have no conscience, they even want to call the police to arrest a helpless old woman like me', and so on, which made Heath very annoyed.
It is inevitable to run into such people when running a shop and doing business, and the other party also affects your own business. The customers next to you all looked at her curiously, but no one intended to step forward. After all, everyone knew the identity of this old lady.
Heath sighed. There was nothing he could do. He took out his cell phone and dialed the police number. The police number for the entire league was the same.
When the old woman found out that Heath had really called the police, she stood up immediately, glared at Heath, and started cursing at him. The curses were particularly harsh. Heath's face turned dark, but before Heath could do anything, the other party ran away.
"Kirlia, trap her." Heath's face was dark. How could he be okay with being scolded for no reason?
