"Oh, did I interrupt the girls' conversation? I'm sorry. ”

"No, no, no, it's okay. Welcome, Mr. Kaab. \"

The person who came in was the engine city hall curator cub. Although he is the oldest gym director in the Galel region, he is a trainer who consistently maintains a high level of ability.

"It's unusual. Mr. Kabu will come all the way. \"

"I have something to do here. Also, I'm going to have a new fitness trainer, so I thought I should order a new uniform. ”

"Oh, I'm ordering uniforms. Okay, okay. What are the sizes and numbers? ”

"I want one L and one M size."

"One L, one m Okay okay, thank you for your order, I'll send you the invoice later."

"Yes. Thank you. ”

Isana recorded the order details on her tablet and smiled happily.

Kabu nodded to Isana and glanced around the shop.

"I never get tired of this place because there are always new designs."

"Hehehehehe, thank you. yes, Kabu-san. Since you've come all the way, I'll treat you to tea, but what do you think? \"

\"Is that so? Well, here you go. \"

"Okay. Then I'll take it out now. ”

After retreating to the backyard, Ishana took out her teacup and teapot, made some tea, and handed it to Kabu.

"yes, what do you want?"

"Thank you. I'll take it. ”

\"Miss Isana, please help me too. \"

"Okay, here you go."

Isana also poured the tea into Sonya's cup.

Isana also poured some tea into her cup, took a breath, and began to speak as if she had just remembered.

\"Ah, yes. I remember talking about Mr. Kabu's gym instructor, right? A few days ago, my brother became the director of the gym! \"

"Uh, where does your brother live?"

"This is the Sinnoh region, and I was born and raised in Hoen, just like me."

"Now that I think about it, Miss Isanna, like Miss Kabu, is also from the Hoenn region. \"

Although they are now in the Galel region, both Kabu and Isana are from the Hoenn region. Although they came to Galar at very different times, the backgrounds are similar. Yes.

"Yes, although his younger brother didn't know how to fight at all before, he has a good master, his skills are enough to become a gym master, and he passed the certification exam a few days ago!"

"In the Sinnoh region, the person in charge of the gym is decided by an accreditation test."

"I think so. When I heard the news a few days ago that his brother had become the director of the gym, I was really happy. I want you to hear about it too. ”

"I see, brother, you've done your best."

"You've done your best, haven't you? Previously, it took four years to collect gym badges. ”

Sonia raised her voice in surprise when she heard this.

"Four years?! It took a couple of hours."

"I think a big part of it is that I'm not good at fighting. So even though I knew I didn't have the talent, I didn't give up and kept giving my best until the end. It seems like there was a time when I was a good teacher even though I gave up halfway. I became a gymnastics captain thanks to

Lulina smiled happily and said to Isana, who said happily.

"Miss Isana is talking about her brother and looks like she's having a good time."

"I respect my brother for being able to persevere and not give up. No matter how many times he falls, he doesn't give up and keep going, I don't think anyone can do that. I want to support such people, don't I? ”

"Of course I want to support those who do their best."

Kubu heard Isana's words and put his hand on his chin.

Then, remembering the past, he opened his mouth.

"Now think about the last time I went back to the Hoenn area, there was a kid who challenged the gym director again and again, and although he lost many times, he never gave up and continued to persevere." Challenge the curator of the gym. ”

"Hehe, there are girls like him."

"How many years ago? More than ten years ago, the memory is a little blurry, but it is important to have such courage. ”

Little Bear remembers the boy vividly. Boys and Pokémon who do not give up and attack boldly even if they look like they are about to cry. Despite being aware of his immaturity, he managed to fight against what he had, which was a great inspiration for Kabu, who at that time had fallen into the status of a minor.

"Seeing that girl working hard, I felt like I should do my best too."

I see. So that kid actually saved Kabu-san. \"

"Yes.

Isana asked Kabu, who smiled kindly.

"What's the child's name? Maybe someone you know knows him. ”

"I really don't remember"

"You don't remember, do you?"

After all, that was more than a decade ago. The bear himself was just watching and didn't really fight. It's okay if you don't remember.

"Think about it, what's the name of Isana's brother?"

“？ Didn't I tell you? ”

In retrospect, Isana felt that she might not have said it. Originally reconciled? It was achieved recently, so it's not surprising that he didn't mention it.

"Yes.

"I see. I didn't say that. ”

Lulina and Sonia talk more often, so I thought they did, but they didn't.

Ishana took out her Lothom smartphone and showed a photo of her brother and her brother's girlfriend saved in the album.

"This is my brother. His name is Kem. ”

"Yes?"

"That?"

"Ahh

“？”

After seeing the photo, Lulina and Sonya's expressions became solemn. Then the bear clapped his hands, as if remembering something.

The expressions of the three of them were different from what I imagined, and Isana's expression was a little strange.

"You're Kem."

"You're Kem."

\"？ Do you two know each other? \"

\"yes. I played in the Tournament of Champions. At that time, Miss Sirona and Dandeok-kun were fighting. \"

"We met by chance in Kaminarimon City. I met when I was modeling for Miss Kamizuru, Miss Hakuna, and Little Alice. \"

"That kid has a lot of connections."

Even Isana smiled wryly at this unexpected connection. Even Isana didn't think the two knew each other.

Kabu also seemed to know something, so when I looked back at him, he was looking at the picture and nodded.

"It's this kid! That's what I just said! His face has changed a lot, but he's still there! I'm sure his name is Kem. ”

It seems that the boy Ka'b just talked about is Kem. Isana was no longer surprised that she was recognized in such an unexpected place.

"That kid is not only attracted to Pokémon, but also to people."

"I didn't expect Isana-san's younger brother to be Kem-kun"

"It's a small world."

"It's impossible, I can't believe Keim has such an extensive network."

"Hahaha! I didn't expect that boy I saw a long time ago to be your brother! Moreover, what you see with your brother is the Sinnoh regional champion Sirona. ”

\"Oh, I see. Cam and Miss Sirona are lovers. \"

Isana's words surprised Sonia even more.

"L, lovers?! Not a supporter? ”

"He's a supporter and an assistant, but he's also a lover."

"I don't know I thought we were good friends when we modeled together"

"He's an amazing kid."

"It seems that things are more serious than I thought."

Isana couldn't help but smile at the fact that she had so many connections.

"Hey, tell me more about Kam-kun and Isana-san!"

"Oh, are you interested? Well, I'll talk to you. ”

Later, Isana tells the trio about Kem's past.

A few days later, photos of Isana, Lulina, Sonya, and Kabu were sent to Kem's smartphone, but Kem couldn't read them at all.
