The woman Sonia said this, holding out her hand to Kem. Kem took that hand in response to the handshake.

"I'm Kem. I am a supporter of Sinnoh Regional Champion Sirona. ”

"Miss Sirona's supporter! Then the next step is the battle with Dande-kun! "

"Oh, that's right."

Kem replied lightly to Sonya, who was happily talking. Sonia happily continued, not offended by Kem.

"You're Miss Sirona's Pokémon, right? Is it being adjusted now? "

I suddenly asked me if I should call you, but Kem replied calmly, like he didn't care.

Adjustment & Recovery

"Wow, you're acting like a supporter"

"Don't you think so?"

Sonya's tone was very honest, and Cam, who expected her to be about her age, also asked Sonia in a slightly frank tone.

"Yes.

"Directions?"

"Yes, in fact, Dan Dejun's sense of direction is really poor! Even if you go to a nearby place, you will get lost, and you will not be able to reach it at all. I thought I'd never get there! "Sekiei Kogen, so I'm a supporter. I carry it

"Lack of direction"

Keim had a sense of déjà vu, an unexpected feeling that he couldn't have imagined just by watching the last game. Sirona also has a side that is unimaginable in her usual cold manners. Just like Sirona can't clean up, Dander has that little weakness. Kem breathed a sigh of relief. These champions are also people, and their shortcomings give them a friendly impression in a way.

"So after the match, I took him to the Pokémon Center, but he left after receiving the Pokémon. I was looking for him but couldn't find him.

"It's too hard."

"。 But I love to see Dandeok-kun fighting happily. And, as a former opponent, I'm glad to see Dan Dejun actively participated. "

"Competitors?"

Kem said something a little different from the squire's position, and couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"yes. A long time ago, I went to the gym with Dan Dejun to challenge. Then Dande-kun and I played against each other in the Pokémon League. In the end I lost and now I'm retiring, but my former opponents are active. I am happy. ”

Sonia grinned and Kem replied, "Is that so?" And smiled back.

However, Sonia completely changed her originally happy expression, revealing a distressed sigh.

"Where are you?

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Maybe I'm lost somewhere with radio waves can't reach, or maybe my smartphone's battery just ran out. Also, it seems that Charizard always takes me when I'm feeling bad. ”

It seems that he is a champion who can take care of himself. I thought Charizard would be better with me the whole time, but I think he's keeping an eye on Pokémon in a Dande way.

"I thought we might have a fight here, but it looks like I missed it."

"Really"

"Now, let's wait a minute. Based on my intuition, I think I'll get back to you soon. ”

"Do you understand?"

"Anyway. Well, I don't know when you're coming, so I won't bother you. Sorry to interrupt your work. ”

With that, Sonia folded her hands, apologized, and walked towards the entrance of the venue. Kem shouted at his back.

"If you don't have a place to wait, you can stay here.

Hearing this, Sonia looked at Kem with a surprised expression.

"Uh, but"

"It's okay to be alone. Moreover, Sirona will be coming soon, so if you don't feel good, stay for it. "

"What do you mean?"

Sonia asked rhetorically, as she couldn't understand the true meaning of the phrase "please stay."

"You're a supporter of Mr. Dande, aren't you? Listen to you, you are not really a supporter, but there are some things that only you have seen with your own eyes. "Mr. Dande, who is close to Galel, is understandable. I'd like to ask you to ask Sirona. ”

"But I've retired from the battlefield, so I don't know the details of Dandejun's battle now, do I?"

Sonia is currently researching Pokémon as an assistant to her grandmother, Dr. Mulan. As a result, although he was an opponent before, I didn't know what Dande's weaknesses were and what he was good at.

But Keim thought it would be fine.

"It doesn't matter. What kind of person is your opponent and how do you interact with Pokémon on a regular basis? There are a lot of things that can be found in battles, but I would like to hear your idea of what you see from the side, and I believe it will be useful for Sirona. Na"

"Salt to the enemy?"

Even if Sonia is a supporter of Dande. As much as I want Dander to win, I don't want to do anything that would put Dande at a disadvantage.

Kem, who understood Sonya's thoughts, said.

"No, it's to make the fight more enjoyable."

Sirona is able to understand her opponent through combat. Maybe Dander has a similar situation. However, Sirona said that instead of just getting to know each other through battles, she can learn about various things in advance, and can have more "conversations" in battles.

Kem hasn't reached that level yet, but if Sirona likes this kind of fight, I want to help her. This is a proposal based on this idea.

"There's no need to talk about fighting, just talk about how Dander spends each day and how he interacts with Pokémon, this kind of trivial content."

"Oh, I see. yes, that's enough. ”

Sonia smiled in response, then looked down at Blackie walking towards her feet. Sonia stroked Black, who tilted her head, as she turned her gaze to Kem.

"This kid is Kaimu's Pokémon, right?"

As far as Sonya can remember, Sirona didn't add Hei to her hands. It could be an unregistered Pokémon in the redemption slot, but for some reason Sonia felt that it was not Sirona's Pokémon, but Kem's Pokémon.

"Ahh

"You're nice, aren't you? I want you to show the other kids too. ”

"I see. Then assemble yourselves."

When Kem summoned the assembly, not only Kem's Pokémon but also Sirona's Pokémon ran towards him.

"Huh?! Hey, blah, blah, blah! "

With a frustrated look on his face, he tries to stop the Pokémon, but the Pokémon does not listen and rushes towards Kem.

In fact, the Pokémon gathered at Kem. The Pokémon rudely pet and shove Kem, showing how much trust they have in him.

"Woo I broke down"

"Huhuha! Kem, you really like me. ”

"Don't laugh, help me."

Even so, Kem, who was besieged by Pokémon, had a somewhat happy expression on his face, and Sonia noticed this and smiled and waited for Pokémon to finish.

After being besieged for a while, Kem finally managed to escape from the crowd of Pokémon.

"Oh my God, my eyes are black."

Kem sighed heavily, but his expression was a little relaxed. Sonia pointed out and said happily.

"You looked happy when you said that?"

"If you don't like it, don't say it."

Sonia laughed at her disobedient remarks.

I bet you'll love Pokemon

This can be seen from the level of trust that Pokémon has in Kem. Looking at the way he was crumpled just now, it was clear that this Pokémon was very fond of Kem.

We've only been meeting for a few minutes, but Sonia thinks to herself that she must be a good person because the Pokémon trust her so much.

It was there that the door to the entrance to the venue opened. The champion of the Sinnoh region, Bai Nai, entered from there. Since Kem is a supporter of Sirona, it's no surprise that Sirona joins him, but he's still a champion. The intensity of the air around her was noticeably different from that of other trainers. Sonia couldn't help but hold her breath at the power of this ambition.

"Kem, thank you for waiting. Thank you for taking care of you all. ”

"I do it because I love it. Don't worry. ”

"And what about this?"

Shirona turned her gaze to Sonia. Sonia was stunned for a moment when she looked at her, but Sirona smiled softly at Sonya. With a smile on her face, Sonya's nervousness eased a little.

"Oh, this person is Sonya, and it seems to be a supporter of Mr. Dande."

"Oh, Mr. Dande?"

"Nice to meet you. My name is Sonya. As Kem-kun just said, I am a supporter of Dande-kun. "

With a pleasant smile, Sonia held out her hand to Sirona. Shirona also shook her hand and responded with a handshake.

"I'm Sirona, and I'm going to fight Miss Dander next. Nice to meet you. "

"Wow, there's a certain vibe to being a champion."

Domineering overflowed from Sirona's body. Sonia is sensitive to this. Even if you are a normal person, you can feel the overflowing ambition. Dander had a similarly strong spirit, which made Sonia realize once again that both were trainers at the same stage.

"Hehe, thank you, Mr. Sonia is a supporter of Mr. Dande."

"Yes.

“？ Is that so? ”

"My role is to guide Dandejun.

In retrospect, Bai Nai remembered the scene before the opening ceremony. Until the last moment, the figure of Dande, who was disoriented and wriggled his head in front of the map. Dander did lose his sense of direction from that figure, but even Sirona didn't think she really had a sense of direction.

"Is your direction that bad?"

"Yes. I don't think Dande could have reached this stadium alone. ”

"It's quite serious."

The road to the quartz plateau is not complicated. It would be a different story if you were to take the path of champions, but this time the road is open to the general public, which will save time and prevent Pokémon from wasting their energy. That road is basically supposed to be a straight road, but even then it is unreachable, which must be a serious problem.

"Shirona is ugly too."

"Huh? Miss Sirona, don't you have a sense of direction either? "

"No, this is a woman who doesn't know how to clean up."

"Hey, Kem!"

Sirona's face flushed, embarrassed by her sudden appearance. Kem looked at Shirona with a smile.

"It must be true."

"Yes, yes, but"

"This guy, if you don't take care of it, the research data will make the house terrible, and his organizational skills are really poor."

Kem was friendly and didn't say he couldn't do all the chores here. I've said in TV interviews in the past that I couldn't clean it up in the first place. So, now there is nothing to hide.
