"Are you going to investigate?"

"It's more out of curiosity than research.

"If you're interested, there's no way~"

"But it's a little doubtful that we'll be able to go."

The ship itself exists, but the current situation is such that there is no one to operate it. So tomorrow I decided to go to the port with Kem to catch some sailors.

"Huh? Why? Is it so dangerous? ”

"It's a bit dangerous because wild Pokémon are very powerful, but my kids can do it without any problem."

"And why?"

"There's a guy who can lend me a boat, but he doesn't seem to be able to accompany me to investigate, so I'm going to go with Kem tomorrow to find someone who can take the helm."

Although Kem was from the Southern End, he didn't seem to have anything to do with the sailors. I was going to ask Nada and Taki, but that's just Shirona's case. You can't get involved too much.

"Ah, there's no point in owning a ship if there's no one to take the helm."

"Yes, it's not easy to find, but I'll do my best to find it."

"Since you haven't found it yet, shall I go and find it?"

Isana's words made Sirona's eyes widen.

“？”

"Oh, didn't you hear me?" "No, I heard that you Isana, can you steer this ship?"

"Yes. My husband is a sailor. I can do it because he taught me. I also have a license. I can operate ferries from large to small.

Shirona was suddenly taken aback by the pilot who appeared in an unexpected place, but it would have been better if it had been entrusted to her.

"I'll talk to Kem about it first, but can I ask for a while?"

"Yes.

"It's a high standard."

"I have a good memory. Who can lend me a boat? ”

"My name is Mikuri and I'm from Renesity. I'm a gym leader. ”

"Ah, Mikuri?"

Mikuri is a well-known figure in both competitions and battles. So it's not strange to know Isana, but Sirona asks Isana, and Isana says as if she's really seen him.

"Do you know each other?"

"yes, we're the same age, we met when we traveled."

For Isanna, who was too high-spec, Sirona was no longer surprised.

ーー

It was late at night, listening to the sound of the waves echoing silently on the deserted road, and Cam rode his bicycle to the meeting point.

The destination is a promontory with a lighthouse. There's already a meeter, Mikuri.

"Hi, Mr. Keim. I'm sorry it's late at night. ”

"No problem. They are relatively nocturnal. ”

It was already past ten o'clock, but it wasn't a particularly late hour for Keim, who usually worked late into the night.

I parked my bike and headed for Mikuri. Mikuri didn't wear the kind of fancy clothes you see on the playing field, but casual shirts and tights.

"So? Something. ”

"But the main reason is that I want to talk to you."

"With me?"

"As you know, I've known Daigo for a long time. I often hear him talk about you. ”

Daigo's communication skills are very high, and he has a good relationship with the Four Heavenly Kings and the leaders of the gym, and he has many friends. It is a self-evident fact that many people are attracted to his personality, but it does not give the impression that he is the heir to the Devon group. For this reason, Kem also has great trust and friendship with Daigo.

However, to Kham's surprise, his story was brought up by many influential figures and celebrities.

"Because he's the only one of the people who appears in Daigo's story who doesn't know his identity. I was very impressed. ”

"It's an unknown trainer."

"He doesn't have any special talent, but he loves Pokémon, and he says he's a caring trainer who puts in more effort than anyone else."

"Who cares about this bastard"

It's all true, but Kem isn't happy to be treated as he pleases. First of all, Kem is not a caring person, but a caring person. I didn't do it because I liked it. I complained to Daigo in my heart that I just couldn't let him go.

"I've never seen Daigo talk so happily about something other than stones. I've known you since I was a child, but Daigo trusts you very much. ”

"Because we're friends."

"Huhu, good friend."

Micuri sat on the steps below the lighthouse, and Kem sat next to her.

"Okay, let's get down to business, I mainly want to talk to you, but there's another reason."

"I guess"

Otherwise, I wouldn't have made a point to call him the night before I left the Hoenn area tomorrow morning.

"Actually, I have a request.

"I owe you a favor, and I'll try to listen."

"Thank you.

“？”

In response to this unexpected request, Kem unconsciously raised his voice.

"Lucia?"

"yes. Because I wanted that kid to see a different world. ”

Mikuri admits that Lucia's talent for the game is beyond her own. In other words, in the future, it is possible to accumulate more achievements than the Imperial Chef.

That's why Mikuri wants people to understand the world outside of the game. People who only know one world, no matter how talented, will soon end up in a dead end. So, Micuri had Kem with him to prevent that from happening.

"People who only know one world will definitely end up in a dead end, and I ask you to further develop that child's great talent."

"That's okay, that's not a problem."

Kem didn't know what was going on with Lucia herself, so she couldn't take it easily. But Shiri guessed it when he looked at Kem, and said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. I've already told Lucia that this is Lucia's own wish. I've also said she wants to see other worlds, but that's what she wants. Moreover, Lucia seems to be interested in Miss Sirona, and she seems to want to talk to me. “

Lucia is interested in Sirona. First of all, Shirona and Kaim are different carriers, but she has a talent for appealing. Alice fell in love with her at first sight, so it's no surprise that Lucia is interested in Sirona.

"So. Can Lucia come with me? “

"I'll talk to Sirona first, but it should be fine. With Shirona here, the road won't be so dangerous. “

"Yes, I'm happy"

"But you're curious, you want to accompany me to an island where I don't know what's going on."

According to Okito, "there are rare Pokémon", but I don't know what they are. This is a map drawn by an old man who does not know where he came from. Honestly, I can't complain even if I don't have anything.

Of course, Sirona and Kem, who still decide to go, may be more curious than Lucia.

"Yes.

"Talented, right? I envy you. ”

It's a feeling that everything is incomprehensible to the average person, Keim. If he hadn't been told, Kem couldn't have guessed what he needed.

"Do you envy your talent, Kem?"

"Yes. I wonder what kind of scenery it will be in a field that I can't go to. “
