"Kem. Do you only have similar clothes? “

"Oh well"

Keim doesn't care much about clothes. Therefore, only safe clothing is similar.

"I can't deny it."

"I see..."

"Kem doesn't really care about clothes, does he?"

"I spend a lot of time wearing sportswear, so I can't control it."

The Tobari Gym to which Kem belongs is a fighting gym, so they train their bodies with Pokémon. As a result, he spends more and more time on clothes, and Kem's personality is stimulated, and he wears more and more clothes when he goes out.

"Is that so?"

"Wouldn't it be better to add a little more?"

"Ah of course"

"Cam, next time I'm going to go shopping in Raymond City with Miss Sirona."

Kem had a bad premonition.

"I know. Come on. ”

"Follow me."

Cam held his head. For Kem, he knows that under the influence of his sister, it takes a long time for women to shop, and being with them not only makes them carry their luggage, but also means that they have to be with them for a long time.

"If you want to stand next to Miss Sirona, you need to dress appropriately, not just in battle."

"Ahh

Caim's clothes are never tacky and have a clean feel. However, I know this is not satisfactory. As soon as he stood next to someone as beautiful and famous as Sirona, Kem realized that it was necessary in order not to lower Sirona's stock.

"Come with me, it's for your own good."

"Do I have the right to refuse?"

"If I win against Atacusi, I'll admit it."

"Isn't that the same thing?"

"What do you think? Ms. Sirona. By the way, are you looking at Keim's clothes? ”

"I think it's really good! Kem is a bit sloppy about fashion, so take this opportunity to learn! ”

"It looks funny, but most of all, it's bad"

Not only Gardelia, but even Sirona seemed to be having a good time, so Kem gave up while cursing. In any case, Kem couldn't win against these two women.

"It's a rule.

"Don't do it. Do whatever you want. ”

Kem, who gave up, looked resentfully at the two women who seemed to be having a good time.

However, to my partial gratification, Sirona seems to be having a good time. Of course I don't put that out of my mouth

"I'm passing through here."

Gardelia led me down a deserted path. There is a road on the side of the road that is wide enough for a person to pass.

"You've found a place like this."

"I found it while walking before."

"It seems like a good place to call it a hidden spot."

"Here it is"

Through a small gap. We will pass through a small space between trees and rocks, and although there is no maintenance, the path itself is solid and can be advanced without difficulty even with sandals.

After a while, I came to an open place. It is a small but very quiet and beautiful beach.

"Wow so beautiful"

"It's a place where almost no one comes, so you can spend your time without worrying about other people. This is my favorite place. ”

"Amazing"

All you hear is the calm sound of the waves.

The rough waves are transparent, and the transparency is so high that you can see the bottom of the sea.

The sand is white, which is perfect for highlighting the blue of the sea.

"I've seen a lot of different seas, but this is probably the first time I've seen such a beautiful sea."

"It's more beautiful than Mio."

"Oh, it's prettier than my hometown of Nancheng."

"The sea, which is as beautiful as it is here, is probably part of the Nanchido and Alola regions in the Kanto region."

The sea in Minami City or Mio City is not dirty. However, as long as there are people living there, there will be human intervention. In addition, since the characteristics of the sea water vary depending on the location, there are not many places in the world with such high transparency and calm waves as this beach.

"Great place"

"You can spend a quiet time here. It's also good to take care of your Pokémon. ”

"yes, let's hurry up then."

Shirona throws all the balls out and calls the Pokémon outside.

"Otaku too"

Gardelia also lets Pokémon out of the ball.

Kem followed suit and let the Pokémon do whatever they wanted.

"Everyone in the alliance is working hard, please spread your wings here."

The Pokémon were happy and began to play on their own.

"Huhu, everyone looks like they're having a great time."

"Yes"

The trio watched the Pokémon play under a parasol on the beach. Haim's Heiki plays with Grecia of Shirona and Lankels of Gadelia, while Lucario and Bashamo let their opponents play against Lucario of Sirona and Gothizer of Gadelia. Mukhok is taking a nap with Cattelan Musanna.

"You're so much stronger than the last time we met."

Gadelia saw the movements of Bashamo and the others fighting, and found that their movements were even better than when they fought when they met last year.

"If you keep working hard for a year, you'll get stronger."

"Because I'm training."

"You're not wrong, are you?"

There aren't many trainers in any region who can consistently get championship training. If trained by the strongest trainer in the region, even Kem, who has no talent, can become strong.

"I'm looking forward to the fight ahead."

"My strength is not enough to satisfy the Four Heavenly Kings."

"I wish I had the strength of a gym director."

"Let's do better"

And there, the worm on Gardelia's stomach screamed.

"Oops, I did something wrong"

"Is it already 1 o'clock? It's a bit late for lunch, and I can't help it.

"Yes, it's Kem's lunch."

Kem took a bento box out of his bag and opened it. There are rice balls, sandwiches, and side dishes such as sausages and omelets, and it looks like a standard lunch box.

"We also have parrots for Pokemon. I was allowed to use a lot of berries so you could feed them as much as you like. ”

"Oh, I'm so happy."

"You've made so much in such a short period of time? That's great. ”

"Because Mr. Cochran helped me. I can't do it alone. ”

Cochran was also a butler, and his cooking skills were as good as Kem's. The villa has a big kitchen so we could cook at the same time, so we were able to prepare a box lunch in a very short time.

"Guys, here's rice."

When you call Pokémon, they come together.

The Pokémon each chose their favorite puffin and stuffed it into their cheeks.

"My Pokémon are sensitive to taste, but I'm happy."

"I'm glad you liked it. Come on, let's eat too. Eat whatever you like. ”

"Thank you.

Sirona and Gadelia picked up the rice balls and ate them. Shirona's rice balls have salt-grilled fish in them, and the right amount of salt stimulates the appetite. I was impressed by the fact that Kattelan rice balls contain kelp, and the Japanese flavor that is not usually found in the Ichishu region.

"It's delicious."

"It's good that I don't have many opportunities to eat Japanese food."

"It's good"

Kem picked up a sandwich. Sandwiches with spam and lettuce are easy to eat and fill your stomach.

While we were eating, Blakey came to Cam's lap. It has a puffin in its mouth.

"What's going on?"

"You want to eat with us, do you? Really like Kem. ”

'I still have work to do during the league season, so I don't care.

Blackie chewed on Bofin while hugging Bofin tightly with his front paws. Kem stroked Blackie's head as she continued to eat.

So Gardelia asked Cam a question.

"Kem. Do you only have Heiki, Bashamo, Lucario, Mukhokhawk? “

"Ahh Oh, yes. “

"No one else?"

"Nope. Kaim in the Hoenn region survived along with Hei, Mashamo, and my sister Zhu Kaien. ”

"Your sister?"

"Yes. Shirona probably knew, but I hadn't done much to catch Pokémon or rather, I was a bit of a jerk, so I ignored the Pokéi when I traveled. “

Now that I think about it, I don't know why I wasn't so stubborn about catching wild Pokémon. I didn't catch any other Pokemon because I didn't feel like I needed other Pokemon because I almost always had only Blackie and Bashamo surviving in gym fights, but they were both very tough fights.

My sister Zhu Kane was given to me by my sister when she went on a trip somewhere after collecting badges in three months. Ten Kane said: "Maybe it's for you." "His expression was so serious that I couldn't believe it was my sister's Pokémon. Due to its high rank, it is not used in official competitions such as gym battles, but it is often used in field battles.

"You're such a great sister."

"Well, I don't even know where you are now."

"Is that so, let's get back to business, don't you have two more on hand?"

At the moment, Kem is tied up with four bodies, and Sirona decided to increase the number of hands when she can't establish a training policy, which will lead to a situation where you can't train everyone well, so she stopped.

"Sirona's training policy."

"First of all, if the trainer himself does not learn how to properly raise the Pokémon he has now, then he will not be able to raise them properly even if he increases his property."

"That's true. I can raise my own Pokémon, but I've never taught others, so I didn't think so. “

"If you can afford it, it's the trainer who treats you equally. That's why I try not to add to my stock until the trainer is mature enough to take care of everyone. ”

"I'm not at the point where I can add to it."

Faced with Kem's words, Sirona put her hand on her chin and said.

"But that's right. Kem has grown a lot, so it might be a good idea to add as soon as possible. “

“？”

"I think you know it yourself, but you've gotten a lot stronger, and you're a lot better than when you first became a gym trainer."

"Uh, okay"

He almost never defeated Somo as the leader of the gym, but recently his battle record has risen to around half. Kem doesn't have a talent for fighting, but he does have the potential to get stronger. Also, I've been traveling for a long time, so I have a lot of experience.

In Sirona's opinion, the most important thing that Kem lacks in order to become strong is his mind and self-confidence. I still lacked confidence in some areas, but since I learned how to think my head, I thought that if I could develop the instantaneous power of my mind, I would be able to reach the level of a dojo leader.

"I've learned how to raise them and how to think about them, so I thought it would be a good idea to try to increase your possessions here."

"Increase your number?"

Hearing some reluctant answers, Gardelia tilted her head.

"Whether or not to be dispatched as the main force depends on the training situation to decide whether this is not okay?"

"Oh no, I don't like to increase, or I have something to think about. Isn't it. Although I said that it would increase, I didn't think about which Pokémon to raise at all. ”

"Kem's hand is mainly a fighting type, while Ace is a black man, it's a mess."

"Lucario is a Pokémon I joined when I joined the Torihari Dokan. I'm a gym trainer, so I mainly use the martial arts system, so I think the fighting system is better. ”

"I guess it probably doesn't matter which one it is. If the combat genre suits you, then you can pursue it. If you want a balanced team, add a Pokémon to make up for your weaknesses, or add a Pokémon that can make the most of your current strengths. I guess it wouldn't matter if I let you. ”

Do you want to master the fighting genre, or do you want a balanced "team" team like Sirona?

Kem hadn't thought about adding money yet, and he had to decide which way to go first.

"I don't have to make a decision right now, I just think about it."

"No, I've decided"

“？”

"It was a very quick decision. So what are you going to do? ”

"I'm going to keep a good balance. I think it would be nice to master the combat type, but I prefer this one. ”

"Something is the deciding factor, isn't it?"

"There are several. First of all, I don't have any talent for fighting. Not quite suitable

"Yes. Maybe it's because Ace is a sunspot. ”

"In addition..."

"Besides?"

"I think it would be easier to teach Sirona if we had the same balance party as Sirona."

Hearing this, Sirona was stunned for a moment, but then laughed.

"Oh, did you think of it?"

"Isn't it good?"

"No, I'm happy. I'd be happier if you told me what you really meant. ”

"Noisy"

"If you want to flirt, can you do it while I'm not around?"

Gadelia was amazed, and the two looked at each other, Sirona blushing and Kaim shrugged.

"I know very well that the two of you had a good relationship before we dating, and the relationship is good, but please don't forget that I am also here."

"Hehe, that's not good"

"Oh, that's amazing."

Hearing Gardelia's words, Cam tilted his head.

"What?"

"Of course, you'll blush if you say something like that."

"No kidding."

With a bitter face, Kem sighed, stood up, and walked towards the Pokémon.

"You have a good relationship"

"Are you kidding?"

"No?"

Sirona looked at Gardelia, who gracefully covered her mouth and laughed, with reproach in her eyes.

"But it's surprising.

"Yes"

Sirona vaguely understood why Kem had become somewhat obedient. Just the other day, after winning the Pokémon League, when Hakunai told him about his feelings at the entrance to the roof of the stadium, Kem also revealed his inner thoughts. At that time, Kem told Shirona what he really wanted. Kem has been hiding his true feelings and deceiving them, and only now does he know how difficult and embarrassing it is to tell others about his heart. That experience changed Cam.

After experiencing the most embarrassing feeling of revealing one's heart to a loved one, the embarrassment of other true feelings is far less than that. As a result, Kem evolved into a mind that would not waver even in the smallest of things.

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Huh?!"

"Please listen carefully tonight."

"Take it easy, okay?"

On top of that, she was allowed to use the villa.

"Okay, I'll take it easy. It depends. ”

Looking at Gadelia, who was smiling from the bottom of her heart, Sirona thought that maybe she should think about what she was going to say next, and a cold sweat broke out in her heart.

ーー

At night

When I came back from the beach, I was greeted by Cochrane.

"Welcome Home"

"Yes, I'm home."

As he took off his shoes at the door, Kem suddenly felt that something was wrong.

There are a few shoes that I don't know about

Some of the shoes were not there when Kem went to the beach.

There should have been only four people in this villa, Gadelia, Cochran, Sirona, and Keim, but there were shoes that they shouldn't have. There are two more.

The color of the women's shoes is pink, and the other pair is small, is it a child?

Kem somehow guessed whose shoe it was, but he didn't know the other one. As I tilted my head inward, Cochran continued.

"Lord Gardelia, the customer is here."

"Oh, so you're here"

"Customer?"

"Ahh Long time no see, Miss Sirona! Miss Cam! “

Behind Cochran is a purple-toned woman with glasses.

"Good day, Shimi. Are you done writing? ”

"Yes! I got it with the SuperExpress! ”

Appearing is the writer Shikimi, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. The two had met before when they came to Villa Gartria.

"Long time no see, Shimi."

"Long time no see! Nice to see you again! Ah, yes. I'm bringing this to celebrate the defense of the Sinnoh regional champions, so if you don't mind, please take it. ”

That being said, the box Shikimi handed me was a platter of pretty good quality meat and vegetables.

"Is that good?"

"Yes.

As for Kem, I'm glad that this kind of thing is easier to do.

"Thank you.

"Yes!

"Who do you want me to meet?"

"Alice-chan, you two are back."

"Uh, really?"

A young girl with long hair and brown skin poked her face out the back door.

"I've been waiting!"

"You?"

"Nice to meet you! I'm Iris! ”

"He was the winner of the last league of the first repair."

Sirona and Kem's eyes widened.

The girl in front of her is said to be the champion of the Ichishu region. He is the youngest champion to date.

"Yes, you are."

"Yes! We won the league last time! Miss Sirona is also a champion, right? “

Sirona's eyes lit up as she confidently said to Alice.

"Yes, I'm the champion of the Sinnoh region."

"Awesome! Let's fight later! ”

"Yes.

"Nice to meet you! Who is your brother over there? ”

"I'm Kem. I'm Sirona's assistant. “

"Nice to meet you! Mr. Keim! ”

Iris took Kem's hand and waved it. Kem smiled bitterly in his heart because he was full of energy.

“… Oh, nice to meet you. ”

"Alice will be staying here too, so please get along well. Cam. ”

"Why is it only my name mentioned?"

"Isn't it because you're not good at taking care of children?"
