Shirona doesn't know much about the era of Cam's travels. The story I heard from Kem's parents was only when he was at home. Only Daigo and himself know what he actually did on his journey. Since the other party doesn't talk much about herself, Sirona decides to take the opportunity to ask about Kem.

"Not all Pokémon, but they all love it. I don't know why, but I didn't get it, I was obsessed with conquering the badge with just Little Black and Bashamo until the end. ”

"Of course, when we met, Kem only had Blakey and Bashamo on hand.

"It looks like she's just raising her level, though. I think the reason she didn't have more than two was because she was competing with her sister.

"I agree. Kem really doesn't talk about himself. ”

That's why the only moment I can glimpse Keim's past is to hear other people like this. In this way, all kinds of things about Kem are worth coming to Dezo City just to know about it.

"I wish I could have said more to you."

"Haha, I think so too. I know you're not good with words, but I also want to know more about Kem. ”

Daigo took a sip of tea and turned to face Sirona.

"What do you think? I'll tell you the old stories I know about Kem, so Miss Sirona, would you like to hear about Kem too? "

"Well, it's a great honor."

Shirona gladly accepted Daigo's offer.

"Then I'll ask first.

"Where did you meet Cam?"

"I came across Meteor Falls. When I was tired and asleep while mining, Kem helped me. ”

"Asleep...?!"

Bai Nai didn't expect that there were still people sleeping in the cave and made a strange noise.

"Mining is fun and I can't help but immerse myself in it.

"Then when we first met, didn't you scold me many times?"

"Ahaha! All right! I still remember the look on your face at the time, the look in your eyes that looked very strange. ”

When I woke up, I saw Kem cooking soup while making a fire. When Kem found out that Daigo woke up, the first thing he said was, "Are you a fool?" Say.

"Huhu, it seems to be Kem."

"Normally, I'd be angry, but I know that, so I can't say anything."

"What happened after that?"

"He handed me a shroud and gave me soup while nagging."

"Ah, long time no see."

Sirona breathed a sigh of relief that she was acting too much like Kem.

"When I drank that soup, I felt like I had become good friends with Cam. Sometimes when I ask him, I don't have enough words, but his answer is sincere. He was also willing to expand the story, so we got along quickly. ”

"You're serious~ That's the kind of thing, since you are sincere in facing everything, then you also want to respond to me."

"Yes. That's probably one of the reasons why I'm so attached to Pokémon. ”

Serious, but clumsy and poorly spoken. People who look at him like him, but unfortunately, not everyone takes Kem seriously. As a result, he is often misunderstood and hated, but since Shirona and Daigo are the right people to face, I was able to see the goodness of Kem as a person.

"Kem used to be serious, but he was always idle. He also breeds Pokémon in a rather strange way.

"Pokémon training is to improve their basic abilities, but even ability enhancement training has a 'limit'.

The basis for raising Pokémon is to "play to your strengths". Gabrias, for example, has high attack power and fast speed, so he will concentrate on training these two abilities and then train the others according to his own style. Most of the things that can't be done are covered by technology.

However, when Kem trained, he did not focus on what he was good at, but instead trained in the way of "focusing on the parts with low race values and making himself an all-rounder". But this way of doing things is not bad. Ultimately, the trick is to lead to poor flexibility.

"Actually, the first thing I taught Kem was to redo the basics."

"I think so, both Hei and Bashamo are good in terms of individual ability, and if they train properly, they have the potential to be first-class, but the way they train doesn't reach their full potential."

"It's really clumsy."

"In the past, I couldn't give the right guidance. I wish I had the ability to coach Kem at that time.

When Daigo heard that he was going to college, he was a little shocked. I know I've been trying hard for a long time, but I'm a little sad that Keim had to give up. I'm sorry that Daigo has the ability to guide Keim.

"That can't be helped, of course I didn't have the strength to teach at that time, everyone was a child at that time, so I only knew myself."

Haha, there's only one difference between you and Sirona. You've been teaching Cam, so your words have different persuasive powers. ”

"There's still a long way to go. My private life still depends on Kem. ”

"Anyone can be sloppy with Kem. He is very organized. ”

"Yes"

Of course, Sirona's private life is extremely raunchy, even if she doesn't deal with Kem.

"Can you tell me more about Old Cam?"

"Okay. So what's next"

After that, the two chatted for a while about Kem's past.

Also, even if I came back, I couldn't get into the scene where I was excited about my story, and I was sitting in front of the door with Heiki, Medon, and the three-toothed dragon, and that was another story.

ーー

"Afu, thank you for having a treat."

Daigo put the bowl in the kitchen and said to Kem, who was washing the dishes.

"Very delicious"

“Domo。 More importantly, what is that refrigerator? There is nothing there. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't go home often."

Due to his responsibilities as a champion, his work with Devonshire and his hobby of mining, Daigo was not often at home. The fridge was almost empty, and Kem kept complaining.

"Don't throw away cold food, it's really empty, isn't it?"

"I'm sorry, Mom."

"Who's Mommy?"

Daigo laughed at Kaim, who nudged him with a frown.

"Thank you for making me lunch."

"Yes, yes"

"It's wonderful, Miss Sirona, I can't believe I get to eat Kem's rice every day."

"Fufu, is that okay?"

"Then why is Sirona so proud?"

Kem smiled wryly at Sirona, who puffed out her chest for some reason.

"I'll introduce you two to a guy after lunch."

"To us?"

Bai Nai tilted her head because she couldn't think of anyone at all. At the very least, there shouldn't be anyone other than Daigo who told the two of them that they were coming to Tokuzo City.

Thinking that Kem might have told someone else, he turned his gaze to Kem, but he shook his head as if he didn't know.

"Yes.

"Well, if the champion comes, I'd love to meet him."

"He said he wanted to see you too, Kaim. He seems to know you. ”

"You're such a curiosity."

Kem was a little surprised that he knew Keim, who had no tournament experience, and that there was a curious person who wanted to meet him.

"Who's that?"

"We are the Daoist curator of Dexu Zhimeng, Feng Helan."

Toxazosin

"Whew! Come on! ”

"Daigo-san!"

"I've been waiting for you!"

When he follows Daigo to the poison fairy Kaim, he is greeted by twins who look exactly the same, Fu and Lan.

"Cam, Miss Sirona. Let me introduce you to you. Wind and Lan, the director of the Taoist Pavilion of Dexu's Dream. "

"It's Fleur."

"Shilan"

"I see. I do not know. ”

The voice and face were too similar, and Cam raised his voice because he couldn't tell which was which.

"They look alike. If you don't understand it at first, you can't help it. The blue button is Fuu and the pink button is Run. ”

If you look closely, you can see that the two are wearing the same clothes, but the color of the buttons is different. If Daigo is right, then it seems that Fuu has the blue button and Ran has the pink button.

"It turns out that this is Miss Sirona, the champion of the Sinnoh region."

"Sirona. Nice to meet you. ”

"Nice to meet you!"

"It's an honor to meet you!"

Fu and Lan, who responded happily, made Bai Nai smile unconsciously. Seeing this, Daigo went on to introduce Kem.

"This is Kaim, the head of the Gym in Tovari City."

"It's Kem. He is a gymnastics captain, but it is not official because he is a substitute. ”

"I heard about it from Mr. Daigo."

'He's a substitute, but he's very technical.

Hearing the twins' words, Kem glared. Kem's current ability as the captain of the gym is not very high. I was able to beat sumo because I had fought him many times and understood the quirks and weaknesses of sumo. If only for first-time opponents, Kem's ability is not as high as among the Gym leaders.

However, whether Daigo knew or didn't know what Kem was thinking, he kept his cool.

"I heard Daigo say he wanted to meet us"

"Yes"

"We"

"Our Combination"

"I want to see how far I can go."

The twins are the youngest gym leaders in the Hoenn region. Becoming the director of the gym at this age must be quite talented. In addition to their individual abilities, the twin duo is also quite famous in the Hoenn region.

So I wanted to test how far I could get along with a formidable opponent I've never seen before. Even with Daigo as an opponent, it was a pretty good training session, but since Daigo had already fought Daigo several times, the twins felt that it would be better to have someone they met for the first time.

"Gymnastics Leader and Champion"

"There is no shortage of opponents"

"Why me except Sirona?"

Kem is the director of the gym, but after all, he is not officially recognized by the Alliance. There are many examples of gym leadership deputies if it is temporary. Long-term representatives like Kem are rare, but probably not worth paying attention to.

"I heard about it from Daigo-san."

"Mr. Keim, you've worked hard to become the gym leader."

"It's not what I said, it's"

"You're so talented"

"The same is true for those who have climbed to the same place in a different way than we have."

"After listening to Mr. Daigo's story, I want to fight."

Keim proved in his fight against Isana this morning that hard work can surpass talent if you stick to it right. Thanks to this, Kem was able to overcome his biggest obstacles, which further honed his skills.

Fur and Lan had never seen anyone like it. I've only lived for less than ten years, and I haven't been away for long, which is a matter of course, but I really want to meet someone who can cross the wall with this kind of effort.

“… Really"

"Good for you"

"Mr. Kem?"

"What happened?"

The twins looked anxiously at Kaim, who suddenly fell silent and grimaced, but Sirona spoke softly to them.

"Don't worry, I'm just embarrassed."

"From a long time ago, when I felt embarrassed or embarrassed, I would shut up."

“… Shut up"

Kem sighed softly and turned to face the twins.

"I am honored to hear such words from an active gym leader. That's why there's no problem matching hands, but "

"What's wrong?"

"I've never played doubles before."

The battles I've played so far have been basic single-player battles. Shirona mainly trains me in singles, so I have experience in doubles.

Low value. Because the basics are already there, it can be dealt with to some extent, but even so, the ability is still reduced compared to a single battle.

"I see.

"Oh. Well, if you don't mind, I'll deal with you. ”

Shirona turned her gaze to the twins. When I moved my gaze to the opposite twin, Keim, I thought of something good and raised my voice.

"So why don't we have a label war?"

“？”

"Fujun and Xiaolan are going to fight together, right? In that case, Kem and I don't know if we can fight together as a team. "

"This is my first time competing in doubles?"

"I shouldn't have trained so weakly and couldn't do anything. Besides, Kem, who is familiar with my methods, can also compare? ”

In fact, Kaim knows Shirona's fighting style better than anyone. Sirona's strengths and weaknesses in the way she fights, and even thinking about how to support her and make her stronger. That's why, like Shirona said, even as she continues to fight the tags, she is able to make more moves than she ever imagined.

And when Sirona said this, Kem himself had to ride a horse.

"Got it"

"It's decided, can you two do it?"

"I hope not."
