"Oh, uh"

"Yes?"

"How's my paper?"

This was the first time Kem had written it, albeit corrected by Sirona. I'm curious what I think from Rowan's point of view.

Rowan said as he looked directly at Kem.

"。 There's a lot to be said, but let's talk about it. Very well done. "

“！”

"Among the myths of the Sinnoh region where we live there are untold myths. Honestly, it's great to be able to focus on these myths. As a researcher, it's important to be able to focus on where everyone has blind spots. "That's why."

Hearing the words of Dr. Shichinado, the chief researcher of the Sinnoh region, Kem felt his heart warm. I never thought I would be so happy to be recognized by anyone but Sirona.

"The way it works logically is also good. An approach that is steadily moving towards the goal step by step is unlikely to make a logical leap, so the credibility increases. It's a way you can't do it. ”

"The fundamentals are specifically determined by Sirona."

"Hahaha! That's right! I also value the fundamentals of logic the most. It wouldn't be surprising if my student, Sirona-san, taught me. "

"Hehe, I still cherish Dr. Rowan's teachings."

Since Dr. Shichinado is Shirona's academic mentor, Shirona's learning methods and research methods often inherit the teachings of Dr. Shichinado. While there are some parts that I have improved in my own way, the teachings of Professor Shichizhongmen seem to be still present at the core of Sirona.

"The investigation of the myth of Reggigas is hardly documented, and I think it's a novelty that I haven't seen lately. Very well done. ”

"Thank you"

"But we can do better. For example, the approach to the relationship between Reggigas and other Reggies"

Sirona smiled and stopped Dr. Rowan, who was about to go to class.

"Hehe, doctor. The course is good, but not suitable for here. ”

"That's true. I'm sorry. It's just a habit. ”

"No, if you don't mind the doctor, please let me know your opinion next time."

"It doesn't matter. Next time, I'll contact you through Bai Nai-san. "

Rowan smiled happily and Keim didn't show a blank expression in front of the professor, but when he felt Dr. Rowan's kindness, he felt the atmosphere soften.

So, as if remembering something, Rowan put the bag in his hand on the floor.

"That's right! I'm here to give this to Sirona-san. "

"Tome?"

Rowan pulled out a box of cuboids from his bag. Shirona didn't recognize anything in the box. Sirona looked at Kaim, but he shook his head, as if he didn't know who he was.

Dr. Rowan handed the box to Sirona.

"What is this?"

"Turn it on"

At the urging, Shirona opened the box. Inside the box are four stones that shimmer with rainbow colors, and the stones can be seen carved with patterns that resemble double helixes.

Seeing this scene, Bai Nai immediately realized what it was.

"Is it a keystone?"

"Ahh The cornerstone that promotes the super evolution of Pokémon, and the knights corresponding to Pokémon. "

"Give me this?"

"Ahh

Mega evolution is a phenomenon in which Pokémon evolve and increase their power only in battle. In order to use Mega Evolution, a trainer's keystone and the corresponding Pokémon Knight are required, but it is so powerful that some famous trainers use Mega Evolution. However, due to its sheer power and difficulty in controlling, if the bond between the trainer and the Pokémon is not strong enough, it may get out of control or destroy the Pokémon itself if it cannot withstand the force. So, it can be said that the trainer who has mastered the super evolution is top-notch.

"Where did you get this?"

Mega evolution is a phenomenon that occurs mainly in the Hoen, Carlos, and Alola regions. One of the main reasons for identifying in these areas is simply that the production of cornerstones, etc., is concentrated in these areas.

Mega evolution is not possible without Keystone and Knight. So, it goes without saying that you won't see a lot of super evolution in areas where you can't find a cornerstone in the first place.

And no cornerstone has yet been found in the Sinnoh region. As a result, most of the trainers in the Sinnoh region do not use Mega Evolution. So Sirona felt that although she was Professor Rowan, it shouldn't be easy to get.

"I stumbled upon it the other day in the Carlos area. As someone who studies Pokémon evolution, Mega evolution is a very interesting phenomenon. But I'm not a trainer, and even if I work on Mega evolution, I can't "I just think it's better to entrust it to someone who can use it more effectively." ”

When Dr. Rowan visited the Carlos region the other day, he traveled around to observe the Pokémon of the Carlos region. At that time I happened to find two cornerstones and two kinds of knights. I didn't find all of them at the same time, but I can say that I was lucky.

But Dr. Rowan is not a trainer and cannot fully handle such a valuable item. However, I felt that Sirona, who was a student and a champion, could handle it perfectly, so I decided to leave it to her.

"Can you handle this?"

“… That's right.

"I'm sure you can do it."

Dr. Rowan then turned to Kem.

"Cam, you're a trainer too."

"Ah, yes. Just in case. ”

"。 Then I'll entrust you with one of the cornerstones. "

"Oh, me too?"

Kem never dreamed that he would receive it, and inadvertently turned his voice upside down.

"yes, there are two cornerstones, one trainer is enough for one, and I happened to find two."

That being said, even Kem has no reason to refuse. And Kem was also interested in Mega Evolution, so I decided to go for it honestly.

"Okay, thank you very much."

"I don't mind, I'm a disciple of a student, let me read a good paper, just take it as a thank you."

"Doctor, which Pokémon is this knight suitable for?"

"。 I looked it up, and it was the Knight of Gabrias and the Knight of Lucario. "

Gabrias and Lucario are both Pokémon owned by Sirona. In other words, Shirona has two Pokémon that can super evolve.

"Gabrias and Lucario"

"This is exactly what is right for your Pokémon. If I can't see you this time, I'll send it through the transmission system, but I'm glad to be able to send it to you. ”

"Thank you"

"Gabrias and Lucario are both very hyper-evolutionary.

"Since Cam has Lucario in his hands, should I give him Lucario Knight?"

"Do you have Lucario on your hands too?

Don't you accept Lucario Knights? Kem shook his head after thinking about whether Rowan would agree to Sirona's suggestion.

"No, it doesn't matter. Shirona will be better at using it than I am. And, thinking about what will happen next time, Shirona is better suited than me. ”

"Oh, yes, well, I'll use this knight."

"What's going to happen next time?"

Dr. Rowan didn't know about the Tournament of Champions. That's why what Kem just said caught my attention.

However, Shirona was unable to disclose this as it had not been revealed to anyone other than those involved.

"You'll understand in a few days."

"Oh, I see. Since you say so, I'm looking forward to it. "

Dr. Rowan stood up and turned to face the two of them.

"That's good news, Sirona-kun.

"Thank you very much, doctor.

"Good spirits. Kem-kun. ”

"Yes"

Upon receiving the call, Keim instinctively stood up and faced Dr. Rowan.

Dr. Rowan patted Keim on the shoulder.

"Nice to meet you. Next time we will have a full discussion of your paper. ”

"It's an honor. Please do so. ”

“。 Good spirits. See you later. ”

Dr. Rowan finished and left.

Sirona and Keim, who had been left behind, stared at the keystone they had received.

"I never thought I'd be able to go through a super evolution before the game."

"Sometimes things go unexpected.

"I see."

Sirona's eyes shone sharply. You can see the air around you change and the ambition is exposed.

"I don't think it's easy.

"I thought you'd say that. If there's anything I can do, just let me know. I'll do anything. ”

"Thank you. It's going to be difficult, but I'm aiming for the championship. To that end, Keim's support is crucial. ”

"Oh, leave it to me."

The trapezoidal stones in the box sparkle in the sun.

Bathed in the sun, Sirona's determination to win the championship is even stronger, and she vows to win the tournament with Kem.
