"Wait a minute, let's eat."

"It's okay, let's go get it."

"Yes.

"What?"

Sirona and Gadelia folded their hands and began to eat.

Gadelia uses chopsticks to put the grilled fish in her mouth. The mixture of seasonings and fish, as well as the refreshing sourness spread in my mouth, and my eyes widened slightly.

"This fish is delicious."

"If you like"

"Kem, this must be Gen Yao, right?"

"yes, that's what I ate when I was investigating the Shinto ruins."

Around spring, when I was investigating the newly discovered ruins of saints, I stopped by a Japanese restaurant. Shirona let her eat there one day Yuzu-yaki.

"It's delicious, isn't it?

"Who's the butler, you idiot?"

"Huhu, Kem's cooking is delicious, isn't it? And you did. ”

For Sirona's promise, Gadelia tilted her head. Naturally, Gadelia was unaware of their promise to investigate the ruins of Sind. Therefore, it is natural to have doubts.

"Kem promised me that he would do this for me.

"Actually, I was going to do it a long time ago, but I completely forgot about it."

After investigating the Shint ruins, there were many things to do such as not only going to the area above the group, but also Pokémon Alliance, a vacation in the Ichishu area, etc., so I completely forgot about it.

But so did Sirona, who said to Kem with a happy smile.

"It doesn't matter, you did it for some reason. To be honest, I forgot my promise. ”

"I see. I'm sorry. ”

"Don't worry, but I like the taste, you can make it again."

"If you like, we'll do it again"

Gadelia eats motoyaki while looking into the distance. I know how close these two are, and I've seen them for a long time, but there's no room for the two of us to form so naturally.

"Gardelia? What's wrong? ”

Looking at Gardelia from afar, Sirona asked what was wrong.

"None? The two of you are close, and I know you love each other so much that you can create a space for the two of you anywhere, but now I have a friend. Please don't forget that, okay? ”

"No, it's just a normal conversation."

"Is that so?"

For the two of them, this level of conversation is commonplace and nothing special. So, when Gadelia pointed this out, the two of them replied, and if they only listened to this sentence, there was no doubt that it was a normal conversation.

However, in Gardelia's opinion, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two has created a unique space, and the corners of the mouth are sweet just by looking at it.

"That's right, it's unconscious, isn't it? The Pokémon who saw this were also saddened. "

“？”

"You're so insensitive, you're blind to Miss Sirona, aren't you?"

Kem is usually sensitive to politeness and atmosphere, but his conversations with Sirona always seem to exude this sweetness, and his sensitivity seems to have become dull.

First, even before we started dating, I thought, "Are you dating?" It seemed like a sense of distance. Through dating, the sense of distance is shortened, which is a matter of course, but isn't it a couple? Gardelia wanted to say.

"Enough. On top of that, there's one more thing I'd like to ask Keim. "

"What?"

"Don't you want to increase your holdings?"

Hearing this, Kem smiled bitterly.

"I think I've heard something similar before."

In fact, Kem was asked the same question during a visit to Saba Town. At that time, Kem had not yet become the deputy director of the Gym, so he only had four bodies, which was a small number compared to his arms.

But now that he's asking the question for a different reason, Kem understands.

"You're going to be the head of the gym, aren't you? If you're an authentic gym curator, instead of a stand-in, wouldn't it be better to increase the number of Pokémon with special attributes? ”

"Yes, I know. I have made a list of several candidates, but they have not yet been decided. ”

More money is easier to say, but it's actually not that easy.

First of all, even if it increases, it is up to the trainer whether it can be cultivated properly or not. In addition, there are factors to consider, such as whether it will be able to get along well with existing Pokémon and whether it can be treated equally without discrimination. Keim currently has a relatively calm hand and everyone gets along well, but it's unclear if the new Pokémon will do the same.

"Increasing your fortune also requires skills as a trainer. Now with Kem, it will be possible to increase the number of new Pokémon in the Gym. So, which Pokémon is a candidate? ”

"Now there are some Pokémon in the Gym that look good. I'm thinking of adopting one of them. ”

When a Pokémon belonging to a Gym grows to a certain level, it will become a Pokémon belonging to a battle facility such as Battle Frontier, or in most cases, it will be assigned to a new Gym Trainer, etc. In this way, Kem considers adopting one from the Pokémon that has grown to a certain extent.

"Worthy of Mr. East Eye, he is trained. Although he is from the Gym, so he is not fully trained, at least the basics have been trained to the point where he does not need to be trained again. "Yes

"Hehe, that's good. I think it's quite difficult to train Pokémon that belong to the gym to strengthen the foundation. "

Shirona herself spends most of her time training her Pokémon on the basics. There are many things to do, such as fitness, sports, skill proficiency. If you think about it, what about the basics of training your Pokémon?

It can be said that it is a special instruction.

"What's that Pokémon?"

"The Three Bodies of Hassam, Haganel, and Mount Celik"

Hassam is a steel/worm, Haganel is a steel/ground type, and Cheliyama is a steel/evil type, each of which has a different type. Considering the type, it's Hassam, but considering the understanding of the characters and types, Haganel and Celikshan are not bad either. It would be better to have them all in hand, but Keim doesn't have the ability to do that suddenly, Tugan suggests.

"Hehe, there are quite a lot of candidates."

"Hassam was an attacker. The Bullet Punch of the Technician's trait is powerful and is a dexterous Pokémon that can do a lot of other things. ”

"Haganel is a physical defender? I don't know much about steel types, but"

"Haganel's physical defense is the highest of all Pokémon. Xiao Hei's special defense is very strong, and his defense is also good. My attackers, Bashamo and Lucario, have very low durability. The Giant Monster also has durability. And also

In this way, Kiriyama will also be able to use the metal bursts and entanglements that are unique to evil systems such as Ouchi and Funai.

Kem's craft was influenced by Shirona and Daigo. It's well-balanced, but no matter how you think about it, there's a limit to what you can do with six handhelds.

Even if I can't say it's perfect, what should I do with my hands to overcome my weaknesses and increase my options? That's what I usually think, but Kem is a little different.

"The trainer thinks the same thing, too."

"Hehe, I know, for you, the key is whether your hands can get along, right?"

"Ahh Truth be told, it doesn't matter who joins. Anyone can get a good feeling in battle. In this way, I think it is easier to focus on the unique parts of the members. It's just that

Hearing this, Sirona laughed happily, while Gadelia was stunned and laughed out in a ridiculous laugh.

"You really like Pokémon, don't you?"

"yes, that's okay."

Kem's weak remarks made Sirona and Gadelia laugh.

"You're really simple. Few trainers will decide based on whether or not their Pokémon can get along. Even I build a team with a balanced mindset. ”

"Uh, that's annoying, I know what you mean."

I've considered the balance of the existing members to some extent, but when it comes to increasing the number of members of the Gym Curator, I believe that the existing Pokémon candidates are able to cope well. So, Kem casually thought that as long as he could get along with the current members, he would be fine.

"Wouldn't it be better to reach out to those kids before making a decision?"

"It's going to be like this"

"Simple"

"Noisy"

Just chatting like this, the time for dinner passed peacefully.

After dinner, the three of us played a party game, but it was another thing for Kem to get beaten up there.
