In the silence and emptiness of the night, this slightly familiar sound reached Aoyagi's ears with unmistakable precision.

Aoyagi looked up.

But the first thing I saw was the approaching figure, but it was not a human, but a burly, majestic body with a very powerful aura exuding from its whole body.

At this moment, the eyes of this fierce biting land shark were also looking at his location.

But instead of looking at himself, he was staring at the mechanical tyrannosaur beside him.

"Exactly!!"

A low, slightly hoarse cry came out of its mouth, and the mechanical tyrannosaurmon's face quickly showed a look of surprise.

It apparently recognized who it was.

Aoyagi also knows whose Pokémon the other party is.

Then he tilted his head slightly, looked at the back of the tall body of the fierce bite land shark, and said with a smile: "Didn't Miss Sirona not sleep either?" ”

As the words fell, a figure with beautiful long blond hair walked out from behind the Fierce Bite Land Shark.

Sirona's gaze first fell on the mechanical tyrannosaurus beast and waved her hand.

"It's been a long time, Mechanical Tyrannosaurmon, the last time I saw you, I was still a Tyrannosaurus."

"Long time no see."

The mechanical tyrannosaurmon nodded in response.

For this young girl who helped Aoyagi and solved the problem of her and the blue-eyed white dragon hukou, it is more grateful and impressed.

After a brief greeting, Shirona chuckled and looked at Aoyagi and said with a smile.

"I came back after the morning game and squinted for a while, but I accidentally overslept and couldn't sleep at night, so I went out for a walk, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

In the end, the words were full of surprise.

"I live over there."

Aoyagi gestured to a building behind him.

Hearing this, Sirona's eyes showed more surprise, and she immediately raised her hand and pointed somewhere opposite.

"I live across the street."

"It's really fateful."

"If it was really that fateful, I don't think we met it for the first time until the middle of the night, right?"

"Hahaha, that's right."

Aoyagi chuckled.

Aoyagi was also a little surprised to hear that Shirona also lived nearby.

However, thinking of the better living environment and conditions here, as well as Sirona's identity, the player village is likely to not meet the requirements, and this generation is undoubtedly the best place to live.

It's just that the Lily of the Valley Conference has been going on for more than ten days, and we haven't met again except for that time, which is indeed an accident.

"Let's go together?"

"Okay."

In the cold moonlight, Aoyagi walked ahead with her hands in her pockets, and Sirona maintained a similar speed on the side.

I don't know if it's because of the night, but at the moment she is wearing a light-colored long dress, and with the breeze, the picture of the skirt and long hair gently swaying together has a different feeling.

And behind the two, the atmosphere was very awkward.

The eyes of the Fierce Bite Land Shark as he looked at the mechanical tyrannosaurmon were full of restlessness, and from the beginning, those yellow eyes had barely moved away from the mechanical tyrannosaurmon.

Even now, it still is.

This made the mechanical tyrannosaurmon feel a little uncomfortable.

At first, it was still a little inexplicably excited and sensitive about the evolution of the sharp-toothed land shark into a fierce biting land shark in the original impression, but now this feeling has long since disappeared.

But it's also an old friend, and it definitely can't be done with it, and the mechanical tyrannosaur beast can only look at Aoyagi for help, and finally it was noticed by Sirona, and quickly let the fierce bite land shark settle down.

It was only then that the mechanical tyrannosaurmon felt the burning sensation of direct gaze slowly disappear.

"I'm sorry, the Fierce Bite Land Shark has been recuperating for a while now, and I mentioned to it before that you are probably my last opponent, so now it can't suppress that fighting spirit."

Hearing Sirona's explanation, Aoyagi was slightly surprised.

It's not the idea of accidentally biting the land shark and wanting to fight the mechanical tyrannosaurus, after all, after fighting the flower rock monster outside the random town, these two have the idea of "why do you want to look at me".

To his surprise, the other party had previously said that he was the last opponent of her conference.

"Is Miss Sirona so confident in me? You must know that there are a lot of strong guys in the training family who participated in this year's conference. ”

"Of course."

Sirona replied with a smile: "From the time you defeated the Flower Rock Monster, I knew that you would definitely not be easy in the future, especially when combined with some later things, the more I concluded that my conjecture was correct.

"I was proven right, even the trainers with Legendary Pokémon and Phantom Pokémon lost to you."

"Didn't Miss Sirona also defeat the trainer with the Phantom Pokémon?"

"The difference between one and six should still be a bit big, right?"

Aoyagi chuckled lightly, not dwelling on the issue.

"Miss Sirona, I have a question for you."

"What?"

"I basically know all about the four heavenly kings of the Sinnoh region, but I haven't found too much information about the Sinnoh champion, I heard Adu and Dr. Mustard Orchid mention before, you seem to be conducting special training with the champion after collecting the gym badge, can you explain a little bit of her information to me?"

Sirona was stunned for a moment.

"I can understand what you really mean, but isn't it rude to skip me as the party and study the opponent after the victory of the conference......

I don't know why, when I heard this, Aoyagi suddenly felt that the famous words of the factory director popped up all of a sudden.

But now it's not a snacky conversation, but a normal conversation between two people, which is indeed not very polite.

"I'm sorry."

Aoyagi smiled awkwardly: "I just want to determine the next order of appearance according to the situation, and at the same time to determine which Pokémon to use when fighting with Miss Sirona, that's all." ”

"Don't care, don't care, just kidding~"

Sirona also smiled and said, "To be honest, although I have indeed practiced with my mother-in-law in recent months, there is a significant gap in the strength of the two of us, so I have only seen her use the two Pokémon, the Fierce Bite Land Shark and the Sonic Dragon, from beginning to end.

"By the way, the sonic dragon is the one that appeared in the center arena the day before yesterday, but I think you probably guessed its identity as well."

"Well, it's just not sure, but since even you don't know the extra information, I didn't expect it."

Aoyagi was a little surprised to hear the information revealed in Sirona's words.

He didn't expect that even at this time, Sirona was not sure that she would be able to defeat Granny Long, and even said that there was a gap.

This shows that in the plot that is not shown in the anime, in the final championship battle of Sirona, either Granny Long wants to retire and take the initiative to release the water like Kikuno, or she breaks through in the process of fighting the Four Heavenly Kings.

And with the other party's character, it is impossible to deceive him and there is no need to deceive him, so it can be determined that if you want to defeat Granny Long, the safest way is to save the strongest combat power to the end.

Rosemon is one of them, the other ......

"But ......"

Sirona put her finger to her lips and fell into deep thought.

Aoyagi didn't bother, and after a while, Shirona continued, "But although I don't know what other Pokémon my mother-in-law has, from my personal point of view, you just need to have a serious battle with me.

"Of course, it would be great if we could get the Fierce Bite Land Shark and the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Beast to fight, and whether we win or lose, I think it would be a perfect end to what happened for both sides.

"I've been preparing carefully for this battle, and I'm also ready to face Granny Long in the end."

Are you already studying the opponents of the title fight like yourself?

Hearing this, Aoyagi glanced sideways at the two diagonally behind, and finally the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a slight smile and then slowly nodded.

"Thanks, I think I know what to do."

"It's nothing, I just said some of my thoughts, and when you mention it, I can't sleep and wonder who will be the first one to play tomorrow, the mechanical tyrannosaurus? Or is it the Pokémon called Rosemon? ”

Sirona tilted her head and asked curiously.

Aoyagi chuckled, and just as he was about to answer, a crisp sound suddenly came from a distance.

Click!

The next moment, the air sounded as if it had been trampled by a brute force, and a roar rushed towards their location.

When Sirona heard this, she couldn't help but look back.

The Fierce Bite Land Shark was also aware of the situation, but its expression was more serious and its gaze sharper.

Because it can feel the strength of the other party, and the ...... that is not disguised in any way

- Menacing!

Only Aoyagi and the mechanical tyrannosaurus beast stared at each other with wide eyes as if they had suddenly thought of something.

An encrypted conversation unfolds quickly in eye contact.

Didn't you just say it was asleep? ’

I don't know, but it did fall asleep when I left. ’

Aoyagi stroked his forehead helplessly, and then prepared to say goodbye to Shirona and walked away.

But the fierce bite of the land shark is faster.

Without waiting for Aoyagi and Shirona to open their mouths to stop it, it was already holding back its fighting intent because of the special training, and it soared directly into the air with a roar of "just right", and directly greeted the figure that burst into the air.

On the sharp thorns at the tips of the wings, dragon energy surged, aiming at the approaching figure and making a threatening gesture.

After finding that the other party had no intention of slowing down or stopping, the fierce bite land shark did not hesitate, and directly urged the dragon claw to slash up.

Bite!!!

A crisp crash sounded.

The next moment, the fierce bite land shark was instantly suppressed, and after sliding backwards for more than ten meters, it was pressed directly from the sky and fell towards the ground.

Seeing this scene, Sirona was full of surprise.

As her trump card, even if the Fierce Bite Land Shark after special training did not use all its strength to fight, the power of its moves could not be stopped casually, not to mention the situation that was completely suppressed like this.

This instantly piqued her interest.

Although the opponent's speed is too fast, the eyes can't see clearly, but it is undoubtedly enough to fight as an opponent.

"Fierce Bite Land ......"

Before Sirona could finish speaking, a green vine shot at her from the sky.

Seeing this, the Fierce Bite Land Shark dodged violently, and crossed its wings in front of Sirona.

It's just that what one person and one dragon didn't expect was that the vine didn't attack after getting closer, but went around in an arc and directly grabbed Aoyagi behind Sirona.

The moment they grasped it, the vines began to wrap around until they were tightly tied.

The next moment, he directly pulled Aoyagi and galloped away into the distance, and soon disappeared from view.

Fierce bite land shark: "??? ”

Sirona: "??? ”

One person and one dragon suddenly had a question mark on their faces.

Finally, Sirona looked at the mechanical tyrannosaurmon that had not left the place with a slightly puzzled look.

"...... that just now?"

When the opponent swept away Aoyagi just now, she used the vine she had seen when she watched the match between Aoyagi and Darkto, and it was obviously the Pokémon that Aoyagi evolved in the game.

However, even so, Shirona was still a little at a loss about what had just happened in front of her.

She tried to ask from the mechanical tyrannosaurmon.

And as a mechanical tyrannosaurus beast that knew the actual situation, his expression was quite difficult at the moment.

What Aoyagi can't even say, how can it say it?

As companions who share honor and disgrace, the damage of the Rose Beast and Aoyagi's reputation is equivalent to the damage of its reputation.

Therefore, in order to protect itself and everyone's reputation, the mechanical tyrannosaur beast chose to scratch its head with its claws, putting on an embarrassed but polite foolish smile and stepping backwards.

Finally, he turned around sharply and ran towards the place where the Rose Beast and Aoyagi had disappeared in the distance.

Leave Sirona and the Fierce Bite Land Shark in contemplation in the wind.

In the end, one person and one dragon glanced at each other and laughed inexplicably.

……

Early the next morning.

The weather was sunny and the wind was beautiful.

The whole island of the valley has been in operation since then.

Thanks to the previous rounds of the competition, especially the battle between Aoyagi and Dakto's ancient Pokémon and the legendary and Phantom Pokémon, Sirona won the match in the semi-finals, including the Phantom Beast, and the popularity of the Lily of the Valley Conference reached an unprecedented level after publicity and fermentation.

Because of this, Lily of the Valley Island was unusually lively on this day.

Whether it's on the ground or in the sky, you can see people from outside of Sinnoh and a variety of Pokémon from other regions that are rarely seen in normal times, as well as a variety of equipment for filming, and a large number of media and reporters.

Even the police stationed around the perimeter have increased a lot with the naked eye.

But even so, Miss Rosa was still running in a hurry, and she looked tired.

It is in this atmosphere that the ninth round of the Lily of the Valley Conference, which is also the final round......

- Here we go!
