Despite the fact that it is a place to stay, the Pokémon of Shirona have boosted their morale by preparing food for them, and by working with Kem's Pokémon, their bodies have adapted well to this, even when fighting strong enemies. You can exert 100% of your strength.

"Keim, you might be a good fit to be a breeder or a personal trainer."

"No, that's not true. I am indeed a caretaker, but I have seen and interacted with Shirona's Pokémon for a long time.

"And what about analysts?"

"Why would you go to the trouble of gathering information for someone you don't know?"

"I guess it's for you."

"Whether it's a personal trainer or an analyst, I have no intention of supporting anyone but Sirona.

"Yes. That's a stupid question. ”

For Sirona, I don't think any supporter is more helpful than any professional supporter.

But I don't know if Kem thinks so. That's why I tried to act mean, but I kind of regretted it, because Kem was seriously thinking about Sirona.

Even if you don't ask, you'll understand if you look at it normally

Shirona didn't tell Kem about his "determination".

Perhaps it is precisely because of this "determination" that I would like to confirm it at the end.

"What, are you nervous?"

"Maybe. This is my first time playing in the Sinnoh League with you. ”

"What could be more important than winning?"

"Have fun. I know. ”

"Is this a stupid question?"

Kem picked up his little black from the ball and said to Sirona.

"Let's go back, it's time to eat."

"Yes"

Sirona is looking forward to the main battle that starts tomorrow and follows Keim.

ーー

Main Match Day

The seats in the stadium were packed with people and cheers.

"Amazing"

"Was this commotion before it began?"

Sirona and Kem looked down on the arena from the VIP room.

Originally, only tournament administrators and champions were allowed to enter the lounge, but as a supporter of Sirona, Kem was allowed to enter on an exception. Kem refused at first, but Sirona forced her in, which was another matter.

"It's as easy to see as the front seat, you can see the whole field, so you can understand the trainer's intentions."

"Isn't it? I thought it would be a good study, so I put it here so you can see the fight clearly. ”

"So be it."

In fact, Sirona placed Kem in the VIP room not only to boost his morale before the battle, but also to spend some time with him to relax, so the fight was just an excuse. Of course, even as Kem, I was able to experience something that would be absolutely impossible without entering Sirona in the VIP room, so I don't have any special complaints.

While they were joking, the trainer of the first game appeared.

The first is Denji, Kem's friend and gym leader.

The other is Furo, who has recently become the owner of the Gym in the United Domain.

Kaze Luo is a trainer who specializes in bird Pokémon, that is, flying Pokémon. Therefore, it is not compatible with the Denji, which is mainly of the electric type.

However, the trainers who survived were not so weak as to fail only in type compatibility. While this is a disadvantage, this factor alone is not what determines victory or defeat.

"Here we go."

“… Ahh

The two trainers threw the ball and the fight began.

Currently, Taji and Kazaro are fighting on the field. In terms of compatibility, Electro has an advantage, but the battle is so intense that you don't feel the compatibility at all.

By the way, Sirona is the champion, so she has the seeding rights, and the first match starts with the second round. The winner of this match will face Sirona next.

"It is worthy of being the ruler of the country, he has the upper hand."

"Because the type fit is also good. Moreover, the trainer in the Ichishu region seems to have served as the director of the gym for a short time. ”

"If the experience of Chuanzhijun is a little higher, things will become very difficult."

Denji's Lentler can be seen stabbing Furo's Archiaios with his ice fangs, an attack that completely incapacitates Archaeos.

Kazero closed his eyes in frustration, but soon smiled and shook hands with Denji.

"As expected"

"My partner is Chuan Zhijun."

"You're almost done. I didn't expect to beat the league finalists with two people left. ”

"The difference in ability and experience is greater than the difference in compatibility."

"Do you want to throw a party against Tangi?"

"Yes. My team is mainly electric, so Gabrias is essential. I'm also thinking of adding Lucario who remembers the earthquake. Because I have a lot of children. “

"If it's just the type, it's Mikaje or Glesia. If anything, I think Mikaje is better. “

"That's right, according to Keim's data, Renteller remembers sluggishly. It is quite possible to take advantage of the sluggishness in Glacia, who is highly mobile. ”

"As long as you use the Imperial Bullet, you can seal Rentelle's Thunder first. In addition, the dexterity of the bullet is also quite high.

"Also, you can use curses to reduce your stamina. Although they do the same amount of damage to each other, Mikaje seems to be able to play a good combination. ”

"There's still time, let's watch the game and review the data."

Kem opens the folder on the tablet containing the trainer's data and brings up Denji's data.

Sirona sat next to Kem, gazing at it together.

"Oops"

"What?"

"I've already sent data to Sirona's tablet, haven't I?"

"Yes"

"See for yourself"

"Don't like it?"

Kaim whispered to Sirona, who tilted her head and smiled mischievously.

“”

"Good idea?"

"Do what you want"

Kem knew that he couldn't win Sirona's smile, so he asked Sirona, who had given up, to do what she liked.

"Whew"

After completing the first round, Denji sighed softly in the backyard. The first round of Fuuro had good genre compatibility, so I was able to make a game that was ideal. However, it can't be said that everything is as expected, because it was decided to participate in the main battle. He never neglected to collect data, but sometimes he felt overwhelmed by the ability he had demonstrated to go beyond the data he collected. As a result, he won, but Denji believes that depending on the situation, he may lose.

"Tangy!"

"Exceeding?"

It was Oba who visited Denji, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"I'm tired of the first round. As expected. ”

“。 But after all, the contestants are strong.

"That's right! Although it is not as high as the Shiei Plateau, the Sinnoh Alliance is also quite high, you know? “

"There was an undefeated champion in that official tournament."

"You're in the second round, and the champion is your opponent."

"Yes, I'll do my best, but how much can I eat?"

"What are you afraid of? Show your passion for the Three Verticals. ”

Oba said unusually optimistically to Chuan Er.

I know Sirona's strength, and I have challenged her several times, but I have failed each time. Therefore, even if it is Chuanji, I understand that it is a bad idea.

But I don't think there's any chance of winning. In Pokemon battles, it's common for lower levels to lower to lower levels. That's why Sirona will lose to Denji.

"Of course, I don't want to lose.

"Is there any other method that hasn't been shown in this tournament? There is also a secret plan. ”

"I'm ready for both.

"Besides?"

"Now, that guy has some really good supporters. It's possible. ”

"Supporters? Did he hire supporters? ”

"You're so good. With Kem's character, Miss Sirona is also reliable. “

At first glance, Denji's words sounded a little timid, but Oba soon realized that his friend's eyes burned with the desire to break his reputation.

"Don't worry"

"No wonder"

"Then I'm also an opponent, I'm going to have a hot fight!"

Danji clenched his fists quietly and looked at the back of the person who walked by.

Sinnoh League Round 2

backyard

"The day has finally come."

Bai Nai, who was wearing unusual clothes, said happily.

"I've been waiting for you."

Kem, on the other hand, returned to Sirona in his usual tone.

"Yes, I've been waiting for this moment of happiness."

"Then you know what to do."

"Of course.

"I've done everything I can to win, and the rest is up to you."

"Thank you. I can't thank you so much. ”

"That's the line."

Shirona picked up her jacket and hung a ball containing three Pokémon of her choice around her waist.

"From now on, only me and my Pokémon will fight. But I'm not going to do it alone. Like I said before, I want to win this game with you. Do you understand? ”

"Ahh

"So, can I ask you something?"

Standing on the field, Danji was surprisingly calm. I didn't expect to be in such good shape to face the strongest champion in the Sinnoh region.

I know I was at my best today. Regardless of the result, I already knew before the race that I could proudly say I did it.

When the announcer calls out a woman's name in an excited voice, cheers erupt. When I opened my eyes, I saw a beautiful woman walking out of the opposite entrance.

Champion Sirona.

The air around her was terrifying, and the air around Sirona was so thick that I had the illusion that she was exuding an aura.

It's been 3 years since we quarreled. I was helpless then, but now it's different.

Sirona wore a thin black sleeveless knit sweater with a short-sleeved black leather jacket, just as beautiful as a black jacket as usual. Its beauty and ambition will make you forget about the heat of this summer.

“… Long time no see"

"Long time no see, Danji-kun."

"Since the last battle three years ago."

"Yes, you didn't play in the last league."

"It's not the same as it was three years ago."

"I know you're stronger than ever."

Sirona wears red earrings in her ears and smiles fearlessly. There is also a red ring hanging from his chest.

"Let's enjoy today"

"Yes"

"Pokémon League Round 2! Champion Bai Nai VS Chuan Ji, the curator of the province! The battle begins! “

With a shout from the referee, the two picked up the ball and threw it into the field.

"Let's go! Sanders! ”

"Please, Lucario!"

The moment the ball was thrown, Sirona's long hair shook and her hidden ears were temporarily exposed. Blue earrings of the same shape as the red earrings worn by Sirona.

Tangi noticed this. I feel like I've seen those earrings where lately, but I can't remember where.

"Sanders! Charge the beam! ”

I immediately shook off unnecessary information and gave instructions.

"Lucario, Bobo"

Sanders' charging beam hits the wave bomb and explodes. The effect of this beam of charge takes Sanders' special effect up a notch, increasing the amount of power on Sanders' body.

"Sword Dance"

Under the cover of smoke, Lucario increased his attack power by two levels with a sword dance.

Denji, who is reading this, attacks Lucario through the smoke.

"Iron Tail!"

Comet Fist

Sanders' hard tail collided with Lucario's fist and bounced off. Lucario was uninjured, but Sanders suffered minor injuries due to the difference in rank.

That Lucario must have been superimposing earthquakes. But with Lucario's type, it takes time to hit an earthquake. If you don't give it a chance to charge, Lucario will fall!

"Sanders, Charge Beam!"

Sanders' charging beam is released again.

"Lucario, take two steps to the right."

Lucario took two steps to the right, and Sirona instructed him to avoid the charging beam.

"Dodge with minimal movements, that's lightning speed!"

Sanders closed in on Lucario at lightning speed.

"One hundred thousand volts!"

The bolt fired at close range headed straight for Lucario.

But Lucario didn't move.

"Waiver"

Lucario faithfully followed the brief instructions, accurately reading the location of the shock and dodging it.

"Whew! Are you going to get out of the way?! ”

"Glow Fist!"

Lucario stabbed Sanders in the torso with his fist immediately after the electric shock. Combined with the sword dance effect, Sanders, who has low stamina, took a lot of damage.

"Move fast!"

As soon as Sanders hit the ground, he sprang into action, his high-speed movement causing him to disappear from Lucario's sight. Startled by Sanders, who had suddenly disappeared from sight, Lucario looked around, trying to follow his footsteps with his gaze.

However, Bai Nai was not disturbed and gave instructions to Lucario.

"Don't panic, don't follow with your eyes, the opponent's attack always has an intention, interpret it accurately."

Lucario, who had regained his composure at Sirona's command, closed his eyes and felt Saunders' fluctuations.

Then he sensed exactly where the lightning attack was coming from and unleashed a Mach punch there.

"I'm reading."

Lucario's fist never hit Sanders. Knowing that Lucario would interpret Sanders' movements, Tangi changed his instructions to Sanders before attacking.

Lucario was sure he had read it, but he didn't make a decision to deal with the next attack.

"One hundred thousand volts!"

Attacked by Sanders Morrow.

Lucario's stamina was cut in half at once. Thanks to the increased special attack from the Charged Beam, I was able to deal damage to a level that I couldn't feel the difference in level.

"Fold it up!"

Sanders tried to catch up to Lucario again with lightning speed.

"All the best"

However, Lucario was moving faster than that, and this time Lucario was already close to Sanders.

"I've been waiting!"

But Tangi is waiting for this moment.

Speed is a technique that is faster than lightning and has special body movements that instantly disappear from the enemy's sight and then attack. However, it has a drawback, which is that Pokémon cannot change objectives on the way due to its speed.

Denji decided to aim there.

Sanders dodged Lucario's speed with lightning speed. Lucario's attack cut through the air, creating a gap.

"Thunder, thunder!"

While using lightning speed, Sanders, who had already charged the lightning bolt to be used next, tried to shoot lightning into the gap while Lucario was unable to move.

But Lucario has his eye on Sanders.

"Huh?!"

"Fighting!"

Even though I'm charging, Thunder is a big move. There is always a short gap to release it. Just a brief gap before the lightning bolt is released. Although the stiffness of dodging the speed should have been greater, Lucario's fists pierced Sanders in quick succession at the moment of the slight charge. However, Saunders released the charge before he could move completely, causing damage to Lucario.

Sanders was incapacitated as a result of the attack.

"Well done, Sanders."

"I'll do it. Fight back with the power I charged at the last minute. ”

"Did you see me taking advantage of the Speed Gap?"

"Nope. But I'm considering that possibility. ”

"You're serious"

"It's a technique that I use myself.

I thought about it again. Sirona's power comes from her love for Pokémon. It is precisely because she loves and understands deeply that she can become a champion.

"Not yet!"

"I have to do this"

The battle has just begun.

"Tenants! Ice Fangs! ”

"Gabrias, Stoneblade!"

Renthler's ice teeth were blocked by the stone blade and were not touched.

"Damn, I don't dare come close"

"Gabrias, Sword Dance!"

"Tenant, chew it!"

Not only did he succeed in interrupting the sword dance with Rentler's attack, but he also managed to burrow into Gabrias's arms.

"Now! Ice Fangs! ”

The moment he gave the order, Tangi realized.

I was lured in.

Dragon Dive

Before Ice Fang could reach Rentele, Gabrias threw Rentele to the ground. Renteller barely avoided a direct hit, so the damage was reduced, but the result was a collapse of his posture and he couldn't take a single hit.

"This is the end! The power of the earth! ”

Gabrias' power erupted from the ground and attacked Rentola.

This is an extremely effective ground-based move for a damaged Rentola
