The combat talent itself is still good for a mediocre talent, but the other party himself is clear, and moreover, his goal is quite high. From Kem's point of view, it's like he's looking at his former self and can't leave him alone.

"I see, it looks like you're going to be able to do well anyway."

"Wellly"

"I'm glad I introduced you, so I'm a little worried about what will happen if I don't do well."

"It's a place you don't know."

"Is that so?"

When Daigo laughed, Kem laughed too.

"By the way, why did you come to the Space Center?"

Keim is a scholar, but his specialty is history. Areas such as space and chemistry shouldn't be your major.

"It's right there. I want to see what it looks like. ”

"I see.

"At least, not in Sinnoh."

"Ayaki is from the Hoenn region, right?"

Daigo couldn't help but rush into Kaim's words, sounding like he was from the Sinnoh region. At least I should have spent more time in the Hoenn area.

"I thought of Southside. A lot of things changed when I was in college, including my hometown.

"Really? Come to think of it, you've been gone for a long time. ”

"The sense of distance from my family is also subtle."

It's a good relationship now, but there was a time when Kem and Nada's relationship was delicate because of the delicate distance between her sister and Nada. Before I entered college, I was in a good mood, but somehow, I had a feeling of not wanting to go home.

"That's what you said."

"How is Daigo and his family?"

"Me? I'm normal. I am studying and will one day succeed my father. Even so, my dad is still healthy, so I think it's still a while before I become president of Devonshire. ”

"Really"

Kem said as he stroked Medon. Mei Tang, who was touched, didn't show much reaction, just narrowed his eyes comfortably.

"And what about Sirona?"

"I'm taking a shower right now.

"Yes. Worst. ”

Kem began to walk with his back to the space center, Daigo beside him.

"But that Kem is the leader of the gym. It's amazing. ”

"Yes. I know it's not a big event. ”

"No, I know it's not a bad thing to be a leader, but I don't think you're not fit to be a leader. You're good at taking care of everyone, so I think gym leaders who test young trainers are a good fit. ”

"Stop admitting I'm a loving demon for a while, okay?"

"Isn't it? This perception is impossible to change. ”

"I didn't do it because I liked it."

Seeing Kem muttering to himself sullenly, Daigo thought that nothing had changed.

“A”

"Yes?"

Daigo stopped suddenly. When I followed Daigo's line of sight, I found a sea illuminated by moonlight.

"You look good today"

"Blackie will be happy."

Kemcam saves Blake Blackie from the ball.

Blackie shook his head and looked up at the moon.

"Can we talk for a minute?"

"Yes, okay"

The two approached the shore and sat down on the edge of the cliff. Blackie sat next to Kem, and Metang floated next to him, looking up at the moon.

"It's nostalgic, when I travel with you, sometimes I see a moon like this."

"More than ten years ago?"

"Yes, I'm on a hobby journey, and you're on a badge conquest."

"Ahh

For a while, Kem and Daigo traveled together. Daigo collects stones as a hobby while training. After hitting it off at Meteor Falls, we traveled together for a while and ended up traveling together for about three or four months.

"The same Kaim who used to struggle in the gym has now become the leader of the gym. I could feel the passage of time. ”

"Shut up, is it that weird?"

"Of course.

"Ah, that's how it is"

"From my point of view, it's very surprising.

"Of course. I was treated like an idiot. ”

What I remember vividly is that I was told not to be kind, but I was treated harsher than I thought. Thinking back to how he had been beaten right every time, Kem felt a little drowsy.

But this strictness is not unreasonable. This is strict with a valid 'reason'. He taught me this reason, so no matter how strict, it doesn't hurt. ”

No matter how strict, I understand that it was to make Kem stronger. That's why there were a couple of painful scenes, but I didn't feel painful.

"I feel like I'm getting stronger."

"You said you weren't fighting anymore.

"It took me four years to get the badge, and I found myself lower than the average person. Moreover, the battle was not fun until I met Sirona, and I couldn't win at all. There are many reasons why I want to quit. ”

"But you're back. Why? ”

Kem said as he stroked the little black beside him.

"In addition to the reason why I want to quit, I have another reason to continue. That's it. ”

I'm fascinated.

That back, the fight was beautiful, ferocious, and overwhelming. His heart and soul seemed to be screaming to get closer to him, longing for that figure that was stronger than his sister.

"Really"

Daigo guesses that the cause of all this is caused by Sirona. I can't attract Kem myself, but Shirona can. It's a little frustrating, but I'm glad Kem is back on the battlefield.

"You're more loving than I thought."

"Wait?! Don't say such things! ”

Daigo laughed at Kem, who blushed unusually much.

"That's because Miss Sirona caused it, right?"

"Woohoo"

"Look, Dr. Zu! It's really easy to understand, Kem. ”

"Uh, let's go"

Staring at Daigo, who had been laughing because he was funny, Kem also smiled slightly.

Their laughter is sucked into the night sky, and Hakuna watches the backs of the two from the balcony of Daigo's house.

When Daigo returns to the bathroom and is playing alone with Kuroki and Medon, he hears footsteps behind him.

"Do I have to go back?"

The owner of the footsteps is Shirona. The white T-shirt, black hoodie, and black sweatshirt look a bit rough, but compared to when I was at home, my defense is high.

"I'm fine"

"Then I'll accompany you."

Sirona sat down beside Kem and looked at Medon floating beside him.

"I think you'll do well"

"yes, it looks like it fits our face shape better than I thought."

"Have you seen any other children?"

"I'm in touch with everyone. So far, things are looking good. ”

"yes, that's good."

“… Yes"

More important than completing my ideal party, I'm glad that Metang decided I could follow him.

This emotion was slightly revealed in his expression, and Sirona smiled when he saw Kem smile slightly.

"It looks like it's going to be a great party."

"I'll do my best. The ending is up to me. ”

"You know that, don't you?"

"That's what Sirona said to me. Whether to make the most of the team or eliminate it is up to the trainer. ”

"Yes.

"Shall I keep it alive?"

"Of course, remember the doubles battle during the day, I played the personality of Xiao Hei, so although I was a little supportive, I was still able to win."

Since Blakey actively embraces hate and moves around, Grecia becomes easier to move around. As a result, although Grecia felt like a support, it was easier for Sirona to play the lead role in that fight.

"How was your first doubles match?"

"yes, it's hard. In singles, there is only one opponent, but in doubles, there are two opponents. Considering my opponent's movements, my handling power is"

"No, I heard you had a great time."

Sirona said as she poked her finger at Kaim's forehead. This exchange will give you a sense of déjà vu, but Kem starts talking without thinking.

"It's funny. I was nervous about the battle of Bai Nai next to me, but more importantly I couldn't express it well, but it felt good. "

"Me too, you are always on my right hand, and you are always on my side in battle.

Even Bai Nai didn't expect that it would be so fun to be able to fight with his beloved. So this experience turned out to be a very good one, and it was also a good thing that led to Kem's growth.

"I feel like I'm a little closer to someone who can stand next to you."

"Yes. I promise. ”

"I see."

"But we can set higher goals. Let's work hard for each other. ”

Sirona put her hand on Cam's hand and flung it back, and Cam nodded silently.

"Meeting Daigo reminds me. I lost a lot.

"Everyone loses more or less. Failure is not a sign of weakness, even if it is a perception of strength. I've said this many times. ”

"Oh, you said before that even if you're a loser today, tomorrow will be different. Who will you be tomorrow as a loser? ”

There is no shame in being a loser. Shirona always said that it was a shame not to try to get anything out of it. Shirona is currently undefeated in official matches but has suffered multiple defeats before that. Shirona is now able to play an active role as a champion because she learned a lot from that defeat.

"It makes me wonder if there really are only two differences."

"Hey? I'm not that old. ”

"Are you talking about fighting?"

Kem stood up with a smile.

Blakey and Medon returned to the ball and reached out to Sirona. Sirona looked a little dissatisfied, but she grabbed Kaim's hand and said nothing, as if she had something in mind.

"Next time, let's practice doubles."

"It's okay, let's go back."

"Yes"

The two returned to Daigo's house.

At this time, Kem no longer knows.

I never thought I'd be playing doubles with Sirona.

It will be difficult to get into the tournament, but that's still the story ahead.
