Chapter 22: The island is crowded
Hikari was so excited, she was about to say she had a great time. And so it will be. Legendary Pokémon are not common. We're lucky enough to meet, but it's also quite exciting to be able to fight.
"And how do you get home?"
That's the problem, after all.
We cannot remain in this broken world.
"Maybe I can go home from here."
The light pointed at her back. A white, distorted space spreads out there, similar to the space I had when I came to the Torn World.
"Boina"
"I'm sure that's it."
"Giratina left it to me, so it might be here."
"Very kind"
"Giratina, what a kind girl you are!"
Kem smiled wryly, thinking that Shirona had already admitted the fact that such a terrible Pokémon was called a kind child.
Giratina was not here, and I heard a shout in the distance.
"Are you saying hello?"
"I'm sure so. Let's go home. ”
"Yes!"
The three of them jumped into the space in front of them.
*
"I'm back~"
When I opened my eyes, a pillar of spear appeared.
Ginga's executives, Jupiter and Mars, stayed, but the subordinates seem to have retreated.
"The column is back to normal"
The warped pillars that had been twisted before heading to the torn world had regained their original shape, and the sky had cleared.
"I calm down Giratina, and the world won't twist anymore."
"Really"
"Ahh Where's Akagi-sama! “
The silent spark raised its voice.
"Shadow Pokémon has remained in the world of Giratina."
"What?!"
"You guys! Did you leave Akagi-sama behind?! “
"Yes. It was his choice. ”
"Never"
"So, from now on, what is the Galaxy going to do?"
The two hugged their heads.
Akagi did bad things, but that doesn't mean he's a bad person. Of course, he has also done bad things, but it is also the result of Akagi thinking about the world in his own way. And they, the Galactic Gang, are not far behind. Akagi was able to do this because he had his own charm. So if there was no Akagi, Team Galaxy would be in chaos.
Even if Akagi was there when he returned, he wouldn't have come with him. That's what sets my ideas apart from Kem and others.
"Even if it's just one step, a new galaxy will be born"
"I don't know if what you envision is the same as what Akagi envisions."
“”
"Let's go"
The three left Tiananshan, leaving the two executives with their heads bowed.
"No need, thank you so much today!"
After leaving Cheonansan, the three of them rested at the café while going to the Pokémon Center to restore the Pokémon.
"No, I should thank you. Thank you for calming down Giratina. “
"It's okay, it's fun."
"Huhuhu, what a funny girl."
"It was a valuable experience and I enjoyed it."
Kem smiled bitterly at Hikari, who was smiling happily. A top-notch trainer might be something with a screw in his head.
"Oh, Kem, didn't you think of something rude just now?"
"There is no hope"
"You two have a good relationship!"
"It's a long-term relationship."
"It's been three years."
"Immediately."
"What about you? How long has it been since you started traveling? ”
"It's been more than a year."
"Can I enter the Pokémon Alliance with only one year of experience?"
From Kem's point of view, this is unthinkable. Now, even if she does make it to the final, she may be on the verge of making it to the final, but Hikari will definitely make it through the qualifiers. Just have the strength to think so.
"Miss Sirona is the champion, so of course Miss Kem won't be in the Pokémon League?"
"Don't go out, with my ability, even if I enter the main battle, I will be defeated immediately."
“。 But let's fight next time! “
"I hope to have the opportunity."
At this time, Hikari's smartphone called. It seems that the Pokémon has been restored.
"The recovery seems to be over, so let's go."
"Yes. Thank you today. ”
"No, no. See you later! In the Pokémon League! ”
Just waved his hand and left.
"At your age, Giratina has calmed down, hasn't he?
"Isn't it? In terms of talent, I believe you are better than me. ”
"I can't even compare."
Kem spread his properly handled right hand. The wound is deep, but no stitches are required, so it is completely covered with gauze and bandages.
“… I'm sorry."
Sirona touched her injured hand.
'I've said before that if I get injured before the league it's going to be in trouble. I want to see Sirona fighting in the league. ”
"I know, so I won't say more."
"It's okay"
Kem looked out the window.
"I don't know why Akagi hates him in his heart."
"I don't know, perfection is supremacy, and that may be the key to this case, but most importantly, his past is related to it."
You can see trainers and Pokémon playing happily.
His face was filled with joy, and the Pokémon seemed happy to be with their trainer.
"Pokémon of Akagi. I'm sure he trusts Akagi from the bottom of his heart, and I'm sure he likes him. ”
If you look at Manoura's actions, you'll see that it's almost certainly so. Manyura tries to get rid of Sirona, who tries to stop Akagi's dreams, even though she is dying. Manora did it anyway, even though it could affect her life. In other words, there are so many ideas.
"I guess that's why I've gone so far."
"That's right. It's not just Manula, it's probably the same for other Pokémon. I trust Akagi. Even after losing this trust, Akagi denies his heart and tries to realize the world of his dreams. And we stopped it. “
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Sirona, I believe we did the right thing. But we need to understand that not all human beings want to live in this world. Yes
"That's right. Everyone wants a different world. ”
At this point, Sirona interrupted herself for the time being.
"But I want to be with you in this world."
Sirona said as she wrapped her wounded Kem's hand.
"I see"
Kem drank a cold cup of coffee.
"It's oxidized, it's sour"
"Would you like some coffee when you get home?"
"Sirona is better at making coffee, so I left it to her."
"Whew, it's okay. I bought some beans the other day. They are Alora's. ”
"That's good, I'm looking forward to it."
"Then let's go home. Go back to our house. ”
"Ahh
Kem put the money on the table and stood up.
After receiving the Pokémon stored in the Pokémon Center, the two went home.
It's the season of the sun.
The fiercest battle in the Sinnoh region is about to begin.
Pokémon Pokémon League.
This is a macho tournament that the trainers have set as the goal.
Participation is limited to top trainers who have collected all gym badges in the region and are able to walk the path to championhood.
"This season is here again."
Shirona and Kem land on the island of the Lily of the Valley, where the Pokémon Alliance of the Sinnoh region will be held. The island is packed with people who participate in the annual Pokémon League.
"Looks like fun"
"Of course. This Pokémon Alliance is the best opportunity to meet all kinds of powerful trainers and Pokémon. ”
In battle, Sirona prioritizes fun over winning or losing. So, no matter what kind of adversity you encounter, think about how to bounce back from adversity instead of being impatient. This is also one of the reasons why Bai Nai has strong strength.
"But no matter how you look at it, it's a huge building."
The Pokémon League Stadium is built on the highest point of Lily of the Valley. From the outside it looks like a castle, but inside it is fully equipped and can be used as a stadium for battles.
"It's no exaggeration to say that this Lily of the Valley Island was built for the Pokémon League, and the league's management committee spent the most money on that stadium."
"That's the most important thing.
"Yes. We need to reconfirm the format of this competition. That kind of Kaim has a job at the gym, right? ”
"This time, the head of our gym will not be in the league, obviously, our gym will be responsible for the safety of the court."
"This time it's Tobari Dokan, I don't mind going there to work, but do you want to be an assistant too?"
"Isn't that your main business?"
"I wonder if it's a stupid question."
Sirona chuckled and began to walk.
The Pokémon Alliance of the Sinnoh region is held on the island of Lily of the Valley. Since the Sinnoh region itself is located in the north, it is relatively cool even in the height of summer. As a result, many tourists use this place as a summer resort while watching Pokémon League.
Of course, with champion Shirona in the spotlight of those around her, Kem felt uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart.
"Do some fan service"
"yes, I want to give back a little bit to the fans who have always supported me."
With that, Bai Nai walked towards the fans.
Keim took Sirona's luggage and walked towards the hotel where he was staying.
ーーー
I left my luggage at the hotel and headed to the backyard of the stadium, where the Steering Committee's headquarters were located.
"Of course, can you go this way?"
Follow the map to the meeting point.
I met a familiar face along the way.
"Kem, long time no see"
"Tangi"
Denji, Director of Nagisa Museum. He met through a sumo relationship, and since he and Kem are close in age, they have a deep relationship.
"Has the place of this governance also been managed?"
"No, I'll show up this year.
"What, are you going out?"
"Looks like there's some interesting guys this year. Moreover, he is said to be the strongest gym owner in the Sinnoh region. Next time, I'm aiming for the seats of the Four Heavenly Kings. ”
With a belligerent smile, Denji has the best abilities among the dojo curators. Even Sumo, the head of the Kem gym, could not beat Denji. Sumo wrestling is very talented, but it is clearly inexperienced compared to Denji. As he gains sumo wrestling experience, he may be able to play a better match with Denji, but at the moment he still can't beat him.
Compared to the gym curators in other regions, Denji's abilities are said to be one of the best. Denji might say that, but even from Kem's point of view, his abilities are quite high. With his talent and ambition, Kem believes that it is not impossible to join the Four Heavenly Kings.
"Isn't your goal to be a champion?"
"Of course I'm going to aim for that. But I want to take it one step at a time. ”
"Is that so?"
"Besides, I don't think I'll get rid of your princess so easily."
"Don't say it, don't say it, don't call me a princess."
Tangi is one of the few people who knows that Kem and Shirona live together. So, every time we meet, I sometimes mess with him like this. Of course, in Kem's opinion, Sirona didn't look like a princess, and he didn't treat her like a princess.
"How? Still training me? ”
"Oh, I'm getting stronger."
"I see, let's fight again next time."
"If you have a chance, I'll warm you up this time."
"Why, can't you fight well?"
"If I were your opponent, you wouldn't get anything."
"I may be, but you're different, aren't you? He's the kind of guy who writes down what he's learned after every fight. ”
"Is it for me? That's right. ”
"Really? So let's fight again next time. It's fun to fight with you because it's painful. ”
"Hey, hey"
Kem's ability is not very high yet, but he has a strange tenacity, and as Denji, he will not give up no matter how many times he loses the rice field.
Denji had a rather combat-obsessed side, and he smiled wryly and continued walking until he reached the conference room at the committee headquarters.
When I opened the door, there were gym leaders and some gym coaches busy inside.
"Ah, Chuanji-san!"
"Oh, Suzuna. You look good today. “
"Yes! I'm fine today too! ”
Suzuna, the director of the Kisaki Gym. He is the director of the Ice Gym and has a good relationship with sumo, so he also knows Kem.
"Ahh Mr. Keim! ”
“… King"
"Long time no see! Next time, please fight! ”
"If you have the chance"
Kem is not good at Suzuna, who has a loud voice and values fighting spirit. It's not that I don't like her, but judging from the always calm Keim, Suzuna, who values spirits, seems a little weak.
On the other hand, Suzuna sees Kem as an adult man and sometimes tries to pull out an elite trainer-level Kem in combat, and has a fairly good impression of him.
"Suzuna, Mr. Kem is in trouble."
Suzuna stops Suzuna, and Suzuna speaks like a cannon, finding that she doesn't know how to answer. The two are close in age and get along very well.
"Oh, I'm sorry!"
"Not good"
"Haha! Suzuna looks like she's doing well, so I'm happy. So what is Suzuna's job this time? “
"We're doing on-site maintenance this time!"
"I see. There aren't many people at Kisaki Gym, but everyone is very good, so it's okay. “
"Yes! I'll do it well! ”
"Are you the last?"
The next person to walk through the door was Nathane.
"Are you late?"
"No, it's not yet."
"That's not Kem-kun. Long time no see~"
"Domo"
Rather than seem angry at the unfriendly answer, Natarn laughed.
"You're still not friendly~. That's your character. Then again, why are you here? You didn't have a job this time, did you? “
"I just showed up, and I'll leave when the time comes."
"I see, are you sure you want to play in this tournament?"
"Oh, I'm going to sit on the throne of the Four Heavenly Kings."
"Fufu, do your best. I'm sticking with you. ”
"Sorry I'm late"
Finally, the president of the league management committee and Shirona appeared.
"It's okay, there's never been a better time."
"I did some fan service, but it was too late."
"Ready? Here we go. ”
Sensing that the meeting was about to begin, Denji said hello lightly and left.
When everyone was seated, the committee members began handing out materials to everyone. The content writes about the schedule and precautions for the league qualifiers, the placement of security, the maintenance of the venue, the opening of the store, the maintenance of tourists, etc.
Sirona herself doesn't have much to do with it, but since she is the champion, Sirona should also be aware of this, so she participated.
By the way, the Four Heavenly Kings are also executives of the alliance's management, so they have already started working.
"This league has a lot of participants from other regions and the preliminaries may have the highest number of registrations ever, but we'll be doing the same as usual and this league will be exciting, so let's work together."
The Chairman then began to explain the details of his work to each member, and after two hours, he was released from the committee.
ーー
"So where did Kem get his security guard from?"
Shirona and I chatted as we walked past the empty stadium seats.
"The main thing is the security of the waiting room and related parties, and the security outside is done by the original security guards and part-time personnel, so fitness coaches will be sent to important places on the basis."
"yes, but wouldn't you be a little freer? I can't even watch the game anymore. ”
"It's enough to have a monitor, and I'm in charge of the security of the qualifying arena so I can watch the game."
"You're busy."
"On the contrary, the main shift is only for the first round."
Because no one was present, Kem's voice was louder than usual. For the time being, some of the staff members are adjusting the venue, but they are too focused on their work to listen to Keim at all.
"Was the last time you watched Sirona's league before you graduated?"
"Yes, I've competed in other competitions as well, but I haven't raced here in two years."
I still remember the last league game I watched.
At that time, I already knew Sirona, but she was still in college. I had just taken a week off from college, and with the money I had saved from my part-time job, I traveled all the way to the Sinnoh region to watch Sirona's game. I was invited by Sirona, but I still wanted to see the champions face off against other top trainers.
The appearance of the Shirona I saw there was nothing short of a masterpiece.
Kem was fascinated by the way he slashed down the high-level trainers one after another, and if he challenged him, they wouldn't even have a decent fight. Kaim is probably not the only one fascinated by Shirona, who is about his own age, and her beautiful and ferocious combat. I distinctly remember how Shirona fought.
"I remember it very well."
"Really? I am happy. ”
"Such a strong memory, I will never forget."
"Very?"
"It's as bad as the dirt in your room"
"Already!"
Sirona hit me in the arm, but I gently blocked it.
"I'm sure it won't be so easy this time.
"Hasn't it always been like this? Moreover, Bai Nai is more likely to be burned in this case. “
"Yes"
Shirona looked down at the court. The canopy is not open yet, but when the match starts, if the weather permits, the canopy will open and the whole stadium will be filled with cheers and a unique atmosphere. Shirona really liked that stinging air.
"I can fight here again. The thought of this already excites me. Engage in a serious battle with a very powerful trainer who has developed a bond with Pokémon. Just thinking about it makes me shudder. “
"It's okay to look forward to, but it's not your turn yet.
