"Why is Kem so insecure?"

"It's an option for someone who makes mistakes and loses games all the time. It made me wonder if he had made another mistake. ”

"Then why are you still fighting?"

"I hate failure. I'm a twisted person, so if I'm told I can't, I'll try to finish it. And, when Pokémon is motivated to fight, I don't have the money to be a coach. ”

"Really..."

"And, thanks to Sirona, I realized that even an ordinary person like me can do it.

Hearing Cam's words, N took a breath and began to speak.

"I don't know much about Keim yet, but I've learned a little bit about him in the last few hours."

"What's the matter?"

"You are kind and care about your surroundings."

“？”

"You're kind to both Pokémon and humans. You value your surroundings. ”

"It's okay"

"Yes. I think it's wonderful. But why do you care about the people around you and Pokémon? ”

Hearing N's words, Kem turned his attention to Shirona, who was dealing with Pokémon.

"I'm not standing here because of my strength. The people I met through Sirona's relationship were also irreplaceable for me. So at least I want to give back what I can do. That's all. “

If it weren't for Sirona who knew him in college, the current Kem wouldn't exist. The same goes for Sirona, but it is Sirona who creates the motivation.

As a result of this opportunity, Kem has grown a lot, both as a trainer and as an academic. The process that led to this process was not just the power of Shirona. So at least Kem didn't forget to take care of his surroundings.

"Kem, you trust Shirona and the people around you."

"No wonder"

"So, did the people around you and your Pokémon make you give up once?"

"Didn't say"

I was able to do my best because I didn't say anything. Even if it's just once, the trainer may have given up somewhere. "Everybody believed me and said, 'Kem can do it.'" ”

"What? Isn't that easy? ”

"Teeth?"

Kem tilted his head because he didn't understand N's words.

N said to Kem with a smile.

"Kem believes in your friend.

"Ahh

"Then why don't you try to believe what your friend gives you first?"

“！”

"If you can trust your comrades, can you trust them?"

Cam opened his eyes.

Until now, people close to Kem have told him that he can do it. However, Kem himself believed that "it was not yet at that stage" and therefore did not take his words seriously.

However, after fighting Alice a few days ago, Sirona said: "What Kem needs now is not technique, nor physical strength, but mental. "I simply thought that Cam lacked mental, physical and physical strength, but on the other hand, I can say that his technique and physical strength were sufficient.

That is, the phrase Gardelia, Shikimi, and Alice saying to Kem, "If it's Kem, you can do it" is not out of wishful thinking about the future, but out of full recognition that the rest depends on your logical observations, because you have the skills and physical strength. I mean.

“… I see."

"Judging by what you're saying, I don't think Keim, who has been blaming himself for so long, won't easily believe himself."

"Haha, is it that easy?"

"From my point of view, I think you have a very happy relationship with both Pokémon and humans. You are in a happy place. I think it's better to be conceited than to run away or rot. After all, your friends believe in you, and even if you don't believe in yourself, you can believe what your friends say, right?

N's words entered Kem's mind, as if the fog had lifted.

Kem chuckled inwardly, wondering if it was that simple. However, this is not a mockery of one's own stupidity, but an encouragement to one's new self.

“N”

"Yes?"

"Thank you.

I can't say goodbye to the past yet. However, I grasped an important clue and crossed the wall in front of me. I didn't expect to get N chances, but when I'm vigilant, the big moment may not come.

"Have you gotten stronger?"

"I screwed up"

"Fuf, good for you"

"I thought he was just a weirdo, but I'm glad I consulted with him."

"Too bad. Is that what you think of me? ”

"Do you remember the first contact? You're just a weirdo. ”

"Haha! Maybe! ”

"It's not like that, it's like that."

Kem poked N's arm and smiled faintly.

From the bottom of my heart, N thinks that spending time with new friends is "fun".

"Yes. I have a request for Kem. “

“？ What's up? ”

After laughing a lot, N said as if he had changed.

He then handed Kem a monster ball.

"I want to entrust this child to you."

"Teeth?"

Kem couldn't understand the meaning of the sentence and asked reflexively.

"What did you say?"

"That's why I want to entrust this child to you."

"No?"

N continued to take the confused Kem elsewhere.

"Didn't I say that? Listen to me again. There's one more thing I want to ask you. ”

"Ah, I guess that's what you said."

"Yes. Here's why. ”

"No, wait.

"It's okay, this kid has already promised to go to you."

"What do I mean?"

"I listened to your advice, why don't you say, this is the price?"

"You bastard"

When it was taken out, Kem couldn't say anything. After all, N taught me something that was very important to Kem. That's a short time, but it's a lot for Kem.

"At least tell me why.

"yes, then let's start introducing this girl."

With that, N took out a Pokémon from the ball.

What came out was a Pokémon Sea Dragon that looked like a blue manatee.

"Three-toothed dragon, huh?"

"yes. This girl was my friend when I was the king of Team Plasma. ”

After the ball was out, the three-toothed dragon stared at Cam's face and placed his sticky-skinned hand on Cam's.

Kem asked, taking N's hand.

"So, why me?"

"You'll cherish your Pokémon. When Team Plasma steals Pokémon from people, the kid is separated from his trainer. At the time, he was a Karanakushi, but when he was used by Team Plasma, it evolved into a three-toothed dragon, after which Team Plasma disbanded, and I found out that the kid was lost on the street. ”

"At the same time as the disbandment, some Pokémon were also abandoned?"

"yes. It would be nice if I could be the parent of this child, but I am not qualified to do that because I am also one of the reasons why this child became like this. Moreover, I can also "can't think of an answer." Something like that. Be with me in my case. ”

Now, N is embarking on a journey of self-discovery with Zekrom. He must have felt that it was not good to be with N, N's purpose was unclear, and the search was still going on in a state area.

However, judging by what N said before, the original trainer must be there. Keim wondered if there was an option to return the trainer.

"Who was this guy's original trainer?"

"So the kid didn't seem to be being treated well and didn't want to go home. That's why I've brought him until now, but I want him to be happy because he's been through a lot of hardships. ”

"Really"

"That's why I wanted to entrust this kid to someone I'm sure can make Pokémon happy. So when I met you on the beach, I emulated you. ”

The reason I initially shouted out was a very vague and intuitive one. However, after only a brief conversation with him, he understands that Kem is a good guy and that Heiki, who is with him, has complete trust in him.

Obviously, I'm happy to be with my coach. So N felt that if he could see Kem again and find someone he could trust, he would entrust the three-toothed dragon to him.

"The sea dragon also wants to see the outside world, what do you think?"

"I wonder if it's possible."

"Shirona"

Before I knew it, Sirona who came to me suggested that I accept N's request.

"That's what N said after he met you, I think you can accept it."

"Is the three-toothed dragon any good?"

The three-toothed dragon shaking its head at Kem's feet let out a cry of affirmation when he heard Kem's words.

"Well done."

"Seriously, I wish I had a three-toothed dragon."

"Kemu, when you asked what to do with the other one, I'm pretty sure you're talking about water-type Pokémon. Also, I think the Trilodon that can use ground attribute moves would be a good match for the Kem team, but what about the ingredients? ”

"I don't know, the only reason to refuse is your heart."

The outer moat was completely buried, and there was no way back, and Kem sighed softly. Even Kaim himself has no reason to refuse so, and he has no resistance to adopting a Pokémon with such a past.

But because he doesn't believe in his own character, he has a kind of "Isn't there anyone more suitable for him?" "Feelings. I don't think this three-toothed dragon would be happy if it didn't have the talent to come to me.

But Kem remembered what N had said earlier.

"Believe the words of those you trust, not yourself"

In order to put it into practice and change in the future, Kem decided to take over the three-toothed dragon as the first step towards change.

Also, as Shirona said, I couldn't decide what to do with the other one, so to be honest, N was offering a ferry. If you've come this far, there's no reason to say no.

"Surrender. I will accept your request. ”

"Okay, you can trust it."

"That's right. Nice to meet you, Triodontosaurus. ”

Tritosaurus howled and bowed to Kem.

"This three-toothed dragon looks like the East China Sea."

"Sirona's three-toothed dragon must look a lot like the West Sea."

"Yes.

"That guy can't help it, because it's an emergency, so I didn't think much about it."

By the time I turned my attention to the Arowana, the Pokémon of Kem were already gathered there and were touching each other to welcome their new companions.

"I think you'll do well"

"Because we have a good character."

"It's the same as a trainer."

"Mitigation"

"You're really good friends, aren't you?"

The two looked at each other.

Then Sirona smiled a little awkwardly, and Kem shrugged. It's okay to reveal the relationship alone, but Shirona thinks it's wrong to say it without asking, so she dismisses it with confidence.

"You're not going to put someone you don't trust as your assistant, are you?"

"That's right."

"Without further ado, let's go back quickly."

Kem looked at his watch, it had been a long time since he had started exploring the tower. Keim doesn't think it's good to keep Shaga and Iris waiting, so he advises them to retreat.

Sirona felt that the time was ripe and agreed.

"yes, shall we go back?"

"What are you going to do to N?"

"I will continue my journey with Zekrom."

"I see, hopefully we can meet again somewhere."

"We can meet. Friends, right? ”

"Oh, I see."

"Yes. See you later. ”

"Ah, yes. I'm going down this tower with Zekrom, are you going to go with me? “

"Uh, is that okay?"

Truth be told, it takes quite a bit of time to get down from this tower. And it's dangerous here, so I'm grateful to Zekrom for sending me downstairs.

"yes. Zekrom likes you too, so I don't mind. “

"So, can I take your word for it?"

"Of course"

After receiving N's approval, the two grabbed the shoulders of Zekrom as they had done when they overlooked the Ichishu region.

N, who confirmed this, also stood on the shoulder of Zekrom and said.

"Let's go"

Zekrom flew to the sound of N.

And jump into the thick clouds with the three of them. There was a sound of a gust of wind blowing through the clouds, but the power of Zekrom protected the three of them, so they were barely affected by the wind.

"Zekrom is protecting you."

"Yes. I can tolerate this climate. ”

"Amazing Legendary Pokémon"

As he spoke, Zekrom immediately fell to the ground.

When the three of them got off the Zekrom, they faced each other.

"Thank you for your help."

"It's okay, we're friends."

"Yes"

"Then I'm leaving, I don't want to stay too long."

"Blue"

"Yes?"

Kem threw a piece of paper at N, who again tried to climb on Zekrom's shoulder.

N effortlessly caught it with his hand. When I checked the newspaper, I found that it said Kem's contact information.

"I don't know if you have a communication device, but you can now use a computer at the Pokémon Center. Please contact me occasionally. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Hey, it's weird I don't know your friend's contact information."

"Oh, yes. yes, yes. ”

"That's it, you're leaving."

"yes. Then take your leave. ”

"You're not a human friend, are you?"

N was a little confused by Kem, and he sighed heavily.

I don't think he's doing anything wrong, but Kem's attitude has visibly become unhappy.

“？”

"We're friends, right?

"And what do you say?"

"Goodbye"

A three-letter word. However, this sentence contains Kem's desire to reunite with N.

I want to see you again. When N learned about this, he was so happy that he couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?"

"No, I didn't expect you to tell me."

"Noisy"

"Yes.

"Ahh Goodbye"

"So is Sirona. Let's meet again. I want to talk to you more. “

"Yes, I want to hear your story too."

"Yes. Thank you. See you soon! ”

With that, N set off.

Shirona and Kem watched the backs of N and Zekrom until they disappeared.

"You're gone"

Sirona, who was left behind, said.

Shirona and Kem will return to the Sinnoh region the day after tomorrow. The next time I see N, unless he comes to the Sinnoh region, it will be next year at the earliest. Just thinking about it makes me feel a little lonely.

"This is not a farewell to this life, we will meet again."

"I like it when you're so divided."

"I can't get past you."

"But did you get anything out of talking to N?"

I know Kem and N are talking about something. Although I don't know what happened, it seems that the conversation between Kem and N ended somewhere.

"Wellly"

"What are you talking about?"

"It's easy. There's no way I'm going to break this bad habit anytime soon. So I trust the people around me first. That's all. ”

"This is the first step to change."

"That's it"

"I'm sure you can do it. If it's you. ”

"Believe the Word"

Sirona took Kem's hand, and Kem threw it back.

The two walked over to where Alice and Saga were waiting.

After the two left, the Longpu Immortal Pagoda, which had lost its voice, stood quietly, looking down on the Ilshu region.

ーー

It's been two hours since I came down from the Yongpo Line Tower.

Sirona, Kaim, and Alice are preparing to return to the town of Zorpo.

"Thank you for your time today"

"Nope.

Shirona thanked Shagar, the store manager of Yongpo Senta, and shook hands with him.

Keim's Mukhawk and Iris's Bowmanda are both on standby, ready to fly.

"Kem-kun"

"Ah, yes. What is that? ”

Saga shouted to Kaim, who was stroking Mukhok's body.

"I hope to see you again."

As he spoke, Shaga held out his hand.

Kaim, a trainer who belongs to the same Pokémon Gym as Saga, seems worried.

"Yes"

"Next time we meet, let's fight.

Cam opened his eyes.

I didn't tell Shagakem about the trouble. Iris probably didn't say that. Alice has a childish, talkative side, but she's not yet childish enough to babble without permission. That's why I don't think it's easy to talk about what's important to Kem.

But Saga saw through Kem's troubles at a glance. is worthy of being the director of the gym for many years, and his vision is even better than Sirona.

“… Yes.

"yes. Looks good. Let's work together. ”

"Yes"

Kem shook Shagar's hand and shook his hand.

Just as Alice finished saying hello and was about to leave, she felt a huge presence approaching.

The breath was immediately transmitted to the other three, and they all set their eyes in that direction. Then a huge white shadow appeared.

"Leshiram"

“？”

Just as she was trying to hear Alice's words clearly, a gust of wind blew, and Sirona unconsciously covered her face with her hands.

When I opened my eyes again, a large white dragon stood in front of me.

"yes, are you serious?"

"Wow, it's really Leshiram."

Just as Sirona and Kem were speechless, Alice rushed to Leshiram's side and shouted.

"Toyasan!"

Accompanied by Alice's words, a teenager appeared from behind Leshiram. The boy is about 13 or 14 years old and wears a red and white hat and a blue jacket.

"Long time no see! Alice"

The boy known as Tuya got out of the car and began to talk to Alice in a friendly manner.

"I was amazed! You're here out of the blue. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Saga-san, it's been a long time. “

“。 You look good. ”

"Yes!"

There, too, Momo notices the presence of Sirona and Kem and walks towards them.

"Well, I'm sorry for the suddenness. My name is Fuyuya. “

"Thank you for your kindness. I'm sure you're surprised, but I'm fine. I'm Sirona. This is my assistant Kem. ”

"N, nice to meet you"

"Yes, please."

"What's wrong with that? Looks like you're in a hurry. ”

It seems that they are coming towards us at the maximum speed of Reshram, but is there something wrong with them being in such a hurry, or is there some other reason?

"That's right! Just now, Leshiram noticed the presence of Zekrom, so he flew in! Zekrom I think N is here! ”

N。 That's exactly what Fuji said.

“N？ Why? ”

"Mr. Kem, do you know N?"

"I don't know, my friend."

"Really?! Do you know where N is now? ”

Kem replied calmly, and Taya looked desperate.

I was momentarily surprised by his expression, but I immediately guessed that the knife was the boy who had ended the Plasma incident, and began to speak.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know where he is.

"Is that so..."

I also feel a little sorry for Momo, who is obviously depressed, but I can't help it, because it's a fact. Kem continued.

"However, he did go south with Zekrom. I don't know if we'll be able to see each other, but he hasn't been here for long, and maybe we'll find him. ”

"To the south! I see! ”

Tuya immediately jumped on Reshiram and tried to walk south.

"Oops"

"Yes?"

Kem shouted to the anxious Tuya.

"I'll tell you if you have news, I don't know when you'll contact me."

"Oh, it's okay, I'll tell you personally! Thank you for your concern. ”

"I see. Then do your best. “

"Sorry for the rush! See you elsewhere! Let's go, Reshiram! ”

With that, Tuya left.

Stay time less than 5 minutes. Well, he's a stormy boy.

"It's amazing, it's an absolute hero."

"Hehe, by the way, it seems that you still have a lot of hidden talent."

"Dengye-san, you're really strong! I don't know if I can win now. “

"That kid is very talented, and I remember the fight with him very well."

After the conversation, Kem put on his goggles and rode on the Mukhok. Seeing this scene, Alice and Shirona also straddled Bowmanda's back.

"Shall we go home then?"

"Yes! See you later, little brother! “

"Be careful. Sirona-san and Kai Meng-kun, please feel free to come back. “

"Thank you very much. See you one day. ”

"Again"

"Goodbye!"

Bowmanda and Mukhok flew at the same time, heading towards the town of Zorpo.

Saga, who remained behind, looked at the back of the young man who was responsible for future generations and waved his hand.

Two days later.

After less than half a month's stay, the two returned to the Sinnoh region.

For Kem, he took a new step, determined to overcome the highest wall he faced.
