"Okay"

Kem put the training equipment back in place and wiped the sweat from his forehead. It's not lifted for training, but even then, it's not an easy task for even a well-trained Kem to polish a lot of training gear.

"Mr. Keim"

After taking a deep breath, a voice came from behind. When I turned around, a cheerful girl with pink hair was standing there.

"Oh, sumo. Are you still there? ”

"Yes.

The girl's name was sumo. Originally, he was the director of this Torizhang Gym, and he just returned from the Galel area a few days ago.

"Really"

"What are you doing?"

"No, don't clean it up a bit."

"Cleaning?"

"Ahh

Kem interrupted abruptly, looking around at the training ground and training equipment that had become shiny after cleaning.

"Because someone took care of me. It's been two years. ”

"I see. Today is Mr. Keim's last. ”

Kem will switch from Tobari Gym to Myojim Gym Trainer next week. Therefore, today is the last time I will be here as a fitness instructor at Tobari Gym.

"Don't stain the standing bird tracks. This was my last service to the place where I was cared for. ”

"That's polite, isn't it? I think that's a good thing. ”

"It's a matter of respecting etiquette."

"I see, it's been more than two years."

Two years ago, sumo himself had just been appointed director of the gym. Since then, I've fought again and again, and a few months ago, I lost to Kem for the first time.

So, sumo decided to study abroad to improve himself. He helped me run the gym and also took great care of me in my personal life. Most importantly, it gave me the opportunity to rethink myself and train myself. Kem was gone, and I felt a little lonely.

"Mr. Cam, you owe me all along."

"I'm the one who takes care of you.

"Ahaha, I don't count."

"That's all you've done for me, and I'm grateful for it."

Keim gently patted Sumo's back.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will be the head of the Gym as before, and make good use of the results of your training in Garrere."

"One day I was allowed to shake it."

"Yes"

As soon as sumo wrestled back from the Galel region, he challenged Kem. The result was a victory for sumo, but it was a rather close fight. The last Pokémon were Lucario of sumo wrestling and Bashamo of Kem, and it was a very close fight. However, in the end, the overall strength of the Pokémon itself determines the victory or defeat, and Bashamo is defeated by Lucario's infighting.

It is natural for sumo wrestling to become stronger after studying abroad, but as a gym director, Keim, who was able to gain a certain range of strength, also gained a moderate amount of experience, which is not inferior to sumo. If you fight a few times, Kem will probably win at least once.

"As expected, it's strong.

"In that case, there is no point in traveling thousands of miles to Galel. However, Mr. Keim has also become stronger in recent months, not only in terms of numbers, but in terms of strength. "

"I've been through a lot."

As the director of the gym, he not only has to fight with the trainers who come to the gym to challenge, but also with the trainers who come to test his skills, and experience the front line of battle, which definitely becomes flesh and blood and improves Kem's physical strength.

"Plums"

"Yes?"

Kem bows to sumo and bows.

"Thank you."

"No, no! Thank you very much for your help! The next time we meet, I'll be a trainer from a different gym, but let's meet again as friends and rivals! ”

"Oh, let's give to each other."

Sumo held out his hand and shook it back, and Kem responded with a handshake.

At that moment, a voice rang out in Kem's heart.

"Excuse me"

Hearing an unfamiliar voice, Sumo and Kem looked at each other. Not the voice of some gym trainer. Sumo and Kem guess it's going to be a challenger.

"Are you a challenger?"

"At this point?

"Anyway, at the reception"

"Ahh

Sumo and Keim couldn't just leave it alone, so they walked to the reception where the voice said.

A boy stands at the reception. When the boy noticed sumo and Keim, he folded his arms and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, great, there's still someone there."

"What's wrong? It's time. ”

"No, the lights are on, so I'm trying to come over and are you still doing that?"

The boy's tone was a little offensive, but Somo didn't mind and continued to talk to him.

"No, if it's a gym challenge, please come back later. All the coaches are at home today. ”

"No, it's not a gym challenge. You see, I already have this gym badge. ”

The boy opens the badge box with a triumphant expression. All the badges are inlaid on the chest, indicating that the boy has conquered the gym.

"And why?"

If you have a badge, you don't have to bother going to the gym. Sumo couldn't guess what he was here for.

"No, no, actually, when I defeated a certain gym master, he told me, 'If you collect all the gym badges, challenge the gym master.'" As the curator said, I would like to try to challenge the curator of the gym. ”

"Hehe, you're the director of the gym, what a nice thing to say! It must be a great experience to challenge a real gym curator! ”

"That's why I'm here to challenge the Dao Curator today! Then again, I moved from Nagisa City for a while, so that's why it's been so long.? "

As he spoke, the boy turned his gaze to Kem.

Noticing his gaze, Kem looked at his watch. Although it was a little later than usual, dinner was ready. It's okay to be a little late.

"I'm fine. What about plums? ”

"I'm fine, too."

"I see, then I'll be the referee."

"Wait, I'm going to challenge you."

I thought he was here to challenge sumo wrestling because he said he was there to challenge the captain of the gym, but the boy nominated Keim.

"Me?"

"That's right! You said that once you get the Gym Badge, you should challenge the real Gym Owner! So I specially showed you this method! I'm not going to let you say you forgot! ”

"I'm sorry, I've told several people about that, so I can't remember who you are."

"What?!"

Kem folded his arms and continued with the shocked boy on.

"Well, if you want to do that, I'll deal with you. I've earned the gym badge, and I'm an official trainer, and I'll take you seriously. ”

"Huhuhu. Never mind. Can you prove that you're not serious?

"Okay, let's do it."

"I'm still talking!"

The boy followed Cam's back into the field and listened to the boy's story. Then sumo wryly smiled and continued.

Cam and the boy face each other across the court and grab the ball.

"Then you can take turns having six bodies on hand. It is possible to use the same rules as a regular gym challenge, where you can use tools? ”

"Ahh

"It's okay"

"Now let's get started!"

With the shouts of sumo, the two threw the ball together. Kem plays Bashamo and the boy plays Rentola.

"I've gotten stronger after many experiences, and I have nothing to fear! I'll tremble for me and the power of my Pokémon! I'm going to beat you here, go through the road to the championship, and I'll be the next champion""!

Facing such a confident boy, Kem sighed and looked at the boy.

"Looks like the bridge of my nose needs to be broken a bit."

Although he couldn't remember who the boy was anymore, Kem decided that he might as well beat him up first.

Then, Bashamo 4 Vertical and Swap to Metagross, the remaining 2 Pokémon were Metagrossed 2 Vertical, and the remaining Pokémon won 6-0, and Kem won overwhelmingly.

"Damn! Floatel！ Aquajet！ ”

"Metagross, grab it and smash it with your hammer."

Still unbothered by Flosser's jet of water, Metagros swung his steel arm and slammed Flozel at Kem's instructions. That blow knocked out Florzell once and for all.

"Frozel is incapacitated! This battle is a victory for Mr. Keim! ”

"That's right"
