When you wake up in the morning, your face is always in front of you.

Although she has an ordinary face, the way she sleeps, even touching her well-maintained skin, does not react at all, and is more adorable than her usual expressionless or dejected face.

As he fell asleep, Sirona kissed him on the cheek. Last night, because it was late, I gently stroked her hair and let her sleep a little longer.

When I came out of the futon, Mukuhawk, who had been sleeping on the Mukuhawk pattern cushion I bought for Christmas, as a pillow, opened his eyes slightly. But when he saw that Kem was still asleep on the futon, he yawned and closed his eyes again.

"Not applicable"

Gently stroking Mukuhawk, Sirona changed her clothes and left the room.

Since Kem wasn't awake, he wasn't heard making breakfast. It seemed a little unusual, but Shirona thought to herself, maybe there would be a day like this.

After washing her face and brushing her teeth, and unable to prepare breakfast, Sirona turned on the TV. While I was absentmindedly watching the morning show, a female news anchor laughed and told me that there was something I was curious about.

\"Hehe, it's such a day today, right? \"

After muttering for a while, Hakuna stood up and took the Pokémon to the garden.

Blackie and the two three-toothed dragons came to Kem, who had finished breakfast and was drying his clothes.

Blackcla tugged at Cam's trouser legs, and Cam stopped, bending down to meet Blake's eyes, wondering if something had happened.

"What, what's wrong?"

Cam bends down, and Blackie puts his face against Cam's, licking his face with a warm tongue. The two three-toothed dragons followed suit, placing their faces against Kem's face, allowing him to touch their sticky skin.

"Oh, oops, something happened all of a sudden?"

When the three approached his face at the same time, Kem couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. I didn't mind at all, so I let the Pokémon do whatever they wanted, but I wondered why they did it because it was all so sudden.

"What's wrong with the itch?"

Even now, Kem still smiles wryly at the Pokémon who still have their faces on him, but he doesn't feel uncomfortable being affectionately expressed. On the contrary, it was a happy thing for Kem, who loved Pokémon, but it was doubtful that he would suddenly do such a thing.

Blackki always does, but why would he play with Sirona's three-toothed dragon?

Blackie is always spoiled, so it's no surprise that Cam's Tolitosauron is also more spoiled, but such a situation is still rare for Sirona's Tolitosauron. Even if she loves her, Sirona is still her master. Few people are so kind to Kem. So, Kem couldn't help but wonder why he did this.

However, just as they didn't know about Kem's doubts, the two three-toothed dragons staggered away satisfied. Blackie stopped licking his face, but began to jump up and down, as if begging for a hug from Kaim.

"Okay, okay, come on."

When Kem opens his hand, Blackkey jumps up to Kem. Kem accepted without difficulty, but sure enough, Kem was still spinning in his head, and he didn't understand why the sea dragon and the others did this.

"Well, the information I've gathered is about the stone chambers in the Hoenn area. \"

"Oh! This is good! It's a ruin I've never seen before! ”

Keim is currently discussing the material he has gathered with Dr. Platanu. They are working out a theoretical path based on the material, but Dr. Platanu sounds intrigued as he looks at the collected material.

"This document summarizes the information about this stone chamber and should include everything from its appearance, location, and contents. What I'm showing you now is just a simple summary, but the attachment I've emailed you contains detailed information. I've sorted out some of them, so I'd be happy if you could take a look at them later. ”

"This stone chamber they say is the Aufrey stone chamber. "It is said that it is the ruins of the Hoenn region, but has Kem-kun been there? ”

"No, I haven't been there. However, I'm from the Hoenn region and I have a friend there. I asked that friend to prepare something for me. ”

Of course, that friend was Daigo, and when he asked about it, he said, "I owe you something." But Keim dismissed this as off-topic and didn't say anything more.

\"I see, you're from Hoen. \"So, is this Braille about the ancient text in this document? ”

"Yes, it's probably Braille, and the shape is slightly different from modern Braille, but if you compare it with modern Braille, you can still understand it to a certain extent."

Braille is said to have originated in the Carlos region, coincidentally where Dr. Platan lived. Braille originated in the Carlos region and has been passed down to the present day in many forms. The problem this time, however, is that the Ofre Stone Chamber, where Braille was discovered, "predates the origin of Braille in the Carlos area long ago."

"This ancient script, somewhat similar in shape to the earliest developed Braille, has been around for a long time. I think this could be the key to unlocking the truth about the cash register. ”

"Yes, I feel the same way. If you think about it, the eyes of the cashier Pokémon are somewhat similar to Braille. There must have been a close relationship between the people of the past, the cashier Pokémon, and these ancient characters. ”

"Yes. However, due to the slight difference in shape, it took some time to decipher the text and this is the end of it now. ”

"It takes time to analyze the persona. But this is important, so you should do it in parallel with the analysis of other materials. \"

"I will. So what's next"

With that to say this, Kem was about to continue watching what he was showing through screen sharing, when Mukuhawk and Glacian suddenly appeared in the corner of the screen.

"Oh? Mukhok Hawk and Grecian. Is this your Pokémon? ”

\"？ Ah no, Mukhok is mine, but Gracia is Sirona. \"

Cam, who didn't see the screen, let out a surprised sound. When I looked back, Mukuhawk and Glacion were barely visible on the screen, as Dr. Platanu said.

"What's going on? Hey, what the hell is going on? ”

Mukuhawk and Glacian suddenly pressed their faces to Kem's cheek. Mukhok touched Cam's cheek with his beak, and Glacian licked the other cheek like Blackkey.

"W-What happened all of a sudden?"

"Hahaha! Kem-kun is really loved by Pokémon! ”

"It looks like a lot of Pokémon came to me today"

Speaking of Blackie and the Triodont just now, Kem was confused about what they were doing today. Although Heiki is more affectionate, he is the only one who does it so many times a day.

"Hey, I see, I see"

Dr. Platanu smiled happily as Kem gently stroked the two animals that showed no signs of stopping.

I've heard about Kem from my sister disciple Sirona. However, Professor Platan didn't expect Kem to be so loved by the Pokémon, so it was a happy miscalculation for Platan, who seemed to be able to see the good side of him.

"Excuse me, could you please wait a minute?"

"Hahaha! It's okay, it's okay! I hope you don't mind. I want to know more about you and your Pokémon. Can you tell me a little bit about you and your Pokémon? ”

"If you don't mind talking about us."

Kem stroked Mukuhawk's chin and replied while placing Glacion on his lap. For a while after that, Kem and the Pokémon were talking.

After lunch with Sirona, I started training.

The new recruit Che Mu Shan and Ma Shamo were tangling, and Che Mu Mountain attacked aggressively, but the experienced Ma Shamo handled everything well and did not fight back. The use of the body by Kiriyama is still under development, and an experienced masamo can do it without taking any harm.

"Don't say it. It's okay to try out the new moves you've learned, but you're in too much of a hurry to try them. What matters is where you use them. You don't have to blindly try to use them. Lucario, please give me an example. ”

He shouted to Lucario, who was watching the two fighters next to Kem, who nodded.

After swapping places with Cheli Mountain, Lucario began to grapple with Masamo. They then briefly exchanged views with Basamo, and in the split second, Lucario unleashed a slalom kick at Basamo. Bashamo reacted well and blocked, but he felt a slight injury to his arm.

When there is a noticeable gap like now, you can use the knee pull, which allows you to move with minimal preparation. Of course, there are other places where you can use it, but first, let your body learn when to use it by assorted hands. Then, when you think you can use it in your own way, you can apply it. Do you understand?

Kiriyama nodded to Kaimu's guidance, and then continued to grapple with Mashamo.

Just as he watched the clapping of the two for a while, and occasionally gave guidance, Metagros and Milo Carlos, who were training elsewhere, came to Kem's side.

"Oh, you're tired."

Kem caressed Dajin's steely body as he cared for him. Jujin is the latest recruiter after Kiriyama, but thanks to the experience he's gained, he's become so powerful that even an average trainer can't match him. Sure enough, he was still a little inexperienced when it came to dealing with trainers who were even higher than the leaders of the gym, but it was certain that he was steadily catching up with the other members.

"Milocarros, thank you for being with me, Metagros."

As he spoke, Kem stroked Milo Carlos as well. Milo Carlos was stroked and screamed with joy, rubbing his face against Cam's face. Metagros then placed Kem's body on his head and squinted playfully.

"Wow, what's wrong? What's wrong? You're too coquettish today, aren't you? ”

Starting with Black Base, many Pokémon are flattering Kaim these days. Bashamo bit Kaimu's head just now, but this was probably Bashamo's sweet way, and Lucario rubbed Kaimu's cheek with his nose. Cheriyama has not been with Kaimu for a long time, and he has no intimate relationship with Kaimu, but he often accompanies Kaimu.

"Really, what's wrong with you today? No, it's fine. ”

As for Kem, he just had good memories, so he wouldn't specifically tell him to stop, but he thought there must be a reason for things to get to this point.

But no matter what Kem thought, he couldn't think of a reason. It's not a problem because Milocaros and Metagros seem to be having a good time, but I was still curious and asked Metagros about it.

"What the hell is going on today? I'm too picky. ”

Keim's words caused Metagros and Milo Carlos to look at each other. While Milo Carlos seemed to be having a good time, Metagros looked a little surprised and didn't understand.

“？？？”

In the end, Kem didn't know what the reason was, just tilted his head.

"Like, Pokémon today are so cute."

It's coming, but do you have any ideas? ”

After dinner, as they hugged each other and spent time together, Kem told Sirona about what had happened today.

"Does this mean that Pokémon are spoiled? That's not a good thing. Aren't you happy too? ”

Shirona also knows that Kem loves Pokémon. Otherwise, he would not have been able to show such a vivid expression in the face of Zekrom.

"No, I don't think so, but I think it's weird that everyone else is so spoiled except for Xiao Hei."

Kem added that Blakey had always been a spoiled child, and that Blakey, who was sleeping on Cam's lap, turned his head and pressed his head against Cam's chest in protest. Kem stroked Xiao Hei and smiled wryly, as if to say, "I haven't been spoiled yet." Seeing Cam and Blake like this, Sirona answered Cam's question with a smile.

"I have some thoughts on this, but"

"No, what's that?"

Judging by his tone, Kem thought that Sirona didn't have any ideas, but when he found out what Sirona had in mind, he couldn't help but complain.

"Kem was a little late this morning, wasn't he? Before Kem woke up in the morning, I told him what was playing on the Pokémon TV. That's a Pokémon that was passed down from my Pokémon to Kem. I think maybe

"What did you do on TV?"

"Yes. Hey Kem, do you know what day it is? ”

Hearing Sirona's question, Kem tilted his head to look at Blackie. Blackie looked at Cam with a smile, his tail wagging happily. Gabriel, who was standing behind Sirona, said, "You don't know anyway, do you?" \'' He looked at Kem as if to say.

“… I don't know."

At least it's not the anniversary of their relationship. Even Cam remembers this. But at least today is not that day. So I could see that Sirona was also telling me with her eyes that today was not that day.
