"More of course! Even though he's the same age as me, he's still so active! ”

"Uh, I'm happy, I'm embarrassed but thank you. Honestly, I'm glad you met me. ”

"I'm also excited to meet a celebrity. I didn't expect to meet someone like that. ”

Serena didn't expect to see the champion and the strongest challenger when she came to the clothing store to look at the clothes, so she almost cried when Sirona was there.

"I watched the league broadcast the other day and became a fan of both of them, so I couldn't help but shout at them."

"Oh, so happy. Hikari, it seems that our battle has impressed you. \"

"Hehe, I just tried my best to fight, but I'm happy. Thank you. ”

At this point, the conversation stopped, and Shirona asked her what she was curious about.

"Serena, are you going to compete?"

"Ah, yes. I understand. ”

"I saw that I had a race ribbon on my bag, so I thought maybe so."

Indeed, Serena has a ribbon in her bag that is given to those who have achieved excellent results in competitions. Seeing this scene, Sirona predicted that Serena would be a performer in the competition, and she guessed correctly.

"I see. It seems that you know a thing or two about fashion. ”

"Yes, fashion was originally my hobby!"

"This hat goes well with this outfit! Thank you, can I call you Serena? ”

"Of course! I call you light too! ”

"Yes! Thank you Serena! ”

Sirona looked at the two girls who soon became friends with a smile on her face. Hikari remembered that he was talking, and continued.

"Isn't that why Serena is in the competition? Maybe that's why you came to the Sinnoh region? ”

"yes. I heard that Miss Dahlia is going to participate in a contest in Yosu City in the Sinnoh region. I came to the Sinnoh area because I wanted to be on the same stage as Miss Dahlia. "Both a performer and a skilled warrior."

Daria is a woman who serves as the brain of the frontier under the name "Roulette Goddess" on the battle frontier in the Sinnoh region. He is a world-famous dancer and seems to be revered by Melissa.

Dahlia wasn't a performer in the first place. However, this time, perhaps at the invitation of Melissa, Dahlia participated in the competition in the form of an exhibition, which seemed to cause an uproar in the local area.

"That's it, Serena is amazing!"

\"Ahh I can't fight like Miss Sirona. \"

"Huh?! Is that so? ”

"That's right! You're doing what only you can do, so be confident! ”

Listening to Hikari and Serena's conversation, Hakuna remembered some of the scenes from when she first met Kaimu.

At that time, Keim had extremely low self-esteem and underestimated everything about himself. Although he has now accepted himself to a certain extent, his previous self-esteem was very low, and the feeling of helplessness of not achieving anything must be a large part of him.

Of course, Hikari's self-esteem is not as low as that of Kaimu. However, Hikari has a strong sense of "just doing what she wants" and may not realize that she has achieved amazing things. That's why, Sirona thought, people may be tempted not to know what they've accomplished.

"Uh, yes! Thank you! ”

"Hehe, that's what you mean!"

When I smile at two people who hit it off inexplicably? Serena turned her gaze to Sirona.

"Miss Sirona, are you also choosing clothes?" \"

"yes, I'm thinking about buying some spring clothes and new clothes to wear when it's hot."

"That's right! So, Hikari and I want to choose Miss Sirona's clothes together. May I? \"

Sirona's eyes widened in surprise, but then she smiled kindly at Serena and nodded.

"yes. I look forward to your good taste. ”

"Hehe, it's an honor to be able to choose the clothes of the champion, as a performer! Come on! Light! ”

"Yes! By the way, can you teach me something about fashion? ”

"Of course! I'll teach you a lot! ”

"So, Miss Sirona, what kind of clothes do you want?" \"

Hearing Serena's inquiry, Sirona folded her arms and thought.

What kind of clothes? It's not interesting to wear the same clothes as usual, but if you choose them, the important thing is when to wear them.

When should I wear it? Since he didn't think of this, Bai Nai thought about it for a while. After thinking for a while, Sirona gave the answer.

"Well, I think I'll have some clothes to wear when I go out."

"Clothes to wear when you go out in the spring, clothes to wear on a hot day. All right! Light, let's go! ”

\"Yes! You see, and Miss Sirona! \"

"Hehe, yes, I'll go now."

The two took Sirona's hand and walked around the store together.

After wandering around the store and trying to dress the doll, Sirona finally found that the combination of gray skinny jeans, white top, and brown tank top worked best for her, so she bought their entire outfit. The one she chose:

"Thank you for choosing me, Serena!"

"It's okay, it's okay! Half of it is my hobby. I haven't seen many clothes worn by adult women like Miss Sirona, but today thanks to Miss Sirona trying on a lot of things, my understanding has deepened! \"”

"You made me dress up as a doll, didn't you?"

"Wow! I'm sorry! ”

Sirona laughed happily as she gently stroked Serena's panicked hair.

"Don't worry, I'm having a lot of fun too, thanks to you, I can buy beautiful clothes that are different from what I usually wear."

"That would be great. I was so excited and a little worried that I might be rude"

"You're welcome, I had a lot of fun too, you don't have to worry."

Shirona said kindly to Serena, who was smiling shyly. Serena sensed that Sirona was thinking so, and knew she didn't need to worry anymore.

The three of them chatted as they left the store. At this moment, the Torizhang Daoguan came into a corner of Bai Nai's field of vision, and she suddenly stopped.

\"Miss Sirona? \"

Hikari and Serena looked at Sirona who had stopped. Noticing the gazes of the two, Bai Nai shook his head casually and followed behind the two.

"Sorry, nothing."

The light followed Sirona's line of sight. In front of her was the island of Toba, where Sirona was looking, and Hikari was convinced of it.

"Ah, so you're looking at the Huzhang Gym. \"

"Yes, yes."

"Tobari Gym refers to the Pokémon Gym in the Sinnoh region, right?"

Although Serena mainly works in competitions, she is a fairly skilled trainer and has conquered all the gym badges in the Carlos region. Since he had made some preparations before coming to the Sinnoh area, he also had some knowledge of the dojos in the Sinnoh area.

"That's right, it's a martial arts gym."

"Isn't it? The curator of the gym must be about the same age as us."

"Oh, you know a lot, by the way, the director of Tobari Dokan is a girl named sumo, and there is a little connection."

To be precise, it was Kem and not Shirona who had the connection, but Serena didn't know about Kem. When I was a little worried that I might need an explanation, Hikari remembered Kem and spoke.

"Ah, do you mean Mr. Kem?"

"Mr. Kem?"

"Yes, now, he's the head of the gym in Maiao City."

"Now that I think about it, the alliance seems to have a notice that the director of the Daoist Pavilion in Maiao City has changed recently, are you talking about that person?"

"Yes, Kem was originally the gym instructor of the Torizhang Gym. \"

Serena was pleased with the man named Kem, but she wanted to know what the head of the Maio City Gym had to do with Sirona.

Shirona sees this and starts talking about Kem.

"Kem is my assistant and disciple. I was the one who introduced him to Tobarikem. I still remember some of those things. ”

I still remember the day I took Kem to the Tochang Gymnasium. At that time, he took Kem to sumo, who had just become the head of the gym, and recruited him for training. Kem was even more despicable then than he is now, and he doubted his abilities. But under Sirona's guidance, his technique has improved to a certain extent and he has the motivation to move towards higher goals, so despite the nervousness, he joined the club.

"Miss Sirona's disciple, it seems that you are really strong. \"

"Hehe, yes, but I can still get stronger. Kem himself has qualities that he himself is not aware of. Moreover, if you are my disciple, I don't want you to be satisfied with that level either. ”

Seeing Sirona talking happily, Serena realizes that Kem is an important person to Sirona.

"You're an important person, aren't you?"

"Yes. Very important characters. \"

Seeing the gentle smile on Sirona's face, Serena vaguely guessed what kind of person Kaim was to Sirona. Her expression was completely different from the friendly expression she had just shown to Hikari and Serena, or rather, her true face told me that.

"I want to meet you too. The man's name was Kem. ”

"What a good man! Actually, he should be here today, but the person in charge of the gym seems to be very busy. ”

"That's right. It's a pity. ”

A person who fascinates the adult female Sirona. Although I have only just met Sirona, as an adult who has already accumulated experience, I still feel that there is still some leeway.

But when Sirona started talking about Kaim, her expression suddenly brightened. It may have been subconscious, but it also made me realize how much Kem meant to him.

At the same time, Serena thought to herself that Sirona, who seemed to be a cool adult, actually had another side. In the boutique, I saw that Shirona looked cool and mature, but judging by the way she talks about Kaim now, she is nothing more than a teenage girl in love. For Serena, though, the person who has this side seems to be more attractive. Shirona gives the public the impression that she is a cool and perfect Pokémon trainer and scholar. There are a lot of people who praise Sirona, but I think she's more popular because she's not perfect and seems to enjoy talking about people she likes.

"Hey, Miss Sirona. Do you have a picture of Mr. Keim? I want to see what he looks like. \"

"Yes. Wait a minute, this. ”

At Serena's request, Sirona showed her a photo of Kaimu and his Pokémon that she had saved on her smartphone. This photo was taken on his first day as the director of the gym, and it is also a picture of Shinkigiyama. Kem himself is still expressionless, but the Pokémon around him have bright expressions.

"This man is Mr. Kem, and he seems to be a kind man!"

"Isn't it? I always felt that he was usually expressionless and unapproachable, but in fact he was a very caring and kind person. ”

"Yes! Mr. Kem always took good care of me and cooked really delicious meals! ”

“？ Cook? ”

"Yes! He's sweet and like a great big brother! ”

Even during the events at Cheonansan Mountain and the nightmare events in the city of Maiou, Kaimu cared about the light. Including these time, light and Kaimu didn't interact much at best, but she still remembered how Kaimu treated her during those interactions.

"I hope to see you one day."

"I'll see you. I'm sure. ”

As she spoke, Sirona gently stroked Serena's hair, and Serena smiled a little shyly.

The three of us walked for a while, and then we walked in the direction of the Tobari Department Store.

As I walked, I saw groups of people gathered in some parts of the city.

"What's that?"

"It's a bit noisy, I don't know if something happened."

"Why aren't you leaving?"

"yes, let's see."

Although they didn't know what was going on, they decided to go and see, so the three of them walked to the crowded area.

When I looked through the gap in the crowd, I saw two girls in the middle of a Pokémon battle.

"Let's go, Ragragui! The power of the earth! ”

Lugraji, a girl with a ribbon, unleashes "Earth Power" at her opponent.

\"Embuo! Take it with a torch drive! \"

On the other hand, Embuu, a girl with a hat and piercing eyes, is engulfed by intense flames and is able to receive extremely effective "earth power". And, using the momentum received, Enbuo accelerated.

"This is the last time! Hammer! ”

Embuo's powerful arm slammed into Ragragui. The powerful attack wiped out Ragragui's remaining health.

"Big lag!"

When Lagrazi fell to the ground, the match was decided.

"Yay! Thank you Embuou! ”

"Acha, I'm sorry Raguraj. Thank you for your hard work. ”

The girl who won the fight hugged Embuo, while the girl who lost made an effort at Ragragui and sent him back to the ball. The surrounding galleries also applauded their battles.

Oh? The kid with the hat was somewhere

Sirona recognized the girl in the hat who was fighting, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her. It couldn't have been a long time ago, but just as I couldn't remember, Serena squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the two girls.

"Haruka? Haruka, right? \"

"Ahh Maybe Serena? ”

\"Sure enough! It's been a long time! \"

Seeing the two talking amicably, Shirona, Hikari, and the girl who is fighting a girl named Haruka realize that they are acquaintances.

Sirona and Hikaru walked in the opposite direction from the gallery and the others, towards the girl who was having a friendly conversation with Serena.

\"Ah, Sirona-san! Let me introduce you to it! This girl is Haruka, and she has participated in competitions with me before! \"

\"What?! Miss Sirona? \"

\"Are you lying?!" That Sinnoh regional champion?! \"

The girl known as Haruka and the girl who fought against Haruka turned their attention to Sirona. It seems that both of them are trainers who know Shirona.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sinnoh Regional Champion Sirona. I'm also a curious trainer who studies relics. ”

"I am the light. Miss Sirona's friend! \"

"I saw your battles earlier. I could only see the last part, but it was a very exciting battle. ”

"Thank you! Ah, I'm Haruka. I'm a performer and I'm from the Hoenn region. \"

When Sirona heard that there was a competition in the Hoenn region, Lucia's figure flashed through her mind. In my opinion, Haruka and Lucia should be about the same age. Sirona thought to herself that maybe the two of them were connected somewhere. Moreover, as a contestant, it is not surprising that he has a relationship with Serena from the Carlos region.

"Nice to meet you, Haruka-chan. What about you? ”

After Sirona introduced herself to Haruka, she turned her attention to the girl who was fighting Haruka. The girl who looked at me smiled happily, crossed her hands on her hips, and introduced herself.

"My name is Lamp, and I'm from the United Region!"

\"Lamp, did you appear in the United Alliance before?" \"

As soon as Sirona heard the name Lamp, she remembered where she had seen the girl. It was the scene where he fought with Daoye as a young trainer who had joined the United Alliance the day before.

"What? Did you see that? ”

"Yes, I have a good relationship with Gardelia, one of the four heavenly kings of the United Region, and I watched the live broadcast because Gardelia will appear."

The game itself collapsed due to the intervention of the plasma team, or rather, the purpose changed, but I remember that they were in the top eight at that time.

\"yes. But I was so lucky to meet Miss Sirona in such a place! \"

\"Woooooooooooo But why did you go from the United States to Sinnoh? \"

Since Haruka is a contest performer, I think her purpose may be to participate in the contest that Daria is participating in, just like Serena, but Lampo doesn't seem to think so. If so, Shirona asked, wondering what the purpose of the lantern's trip was.

"To put it simply, it's training. In order to be able to defeat Alice in the next Pokémon League, I observe various trainers, fight them, and travel around to see what I can do. ”

When it comes to the top 8 players in Pokemon League, they are the most talented players in the region. But he wasn't content with that, and his determination to go so far to train himself was reminiscent of the McCann I saw the other day.

Lantern Zi was at least as good as the Gym Master, if not better, but in that tournament, she was defeated by Jima, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. At that time, he realized that there was an overwhelming gap in ability between himself and the Four Heavenly Kings, so he came to practice.

"Yes, it turns out that you came to the Sinnoh region."

"Yes! One day I will be stronger and become a champion! So"

At this moment, the lamp stopped and unleashed a powerful domineering aura on Sirona.

\"Miss Sirona, please fight me! \"

Sirona's eyes widened in surprise for a moment, but immediately showed a fearless smile and was filled with ambition as strong as the lamp.

"Yes, it doesn't matter. Light, Serena. Can I drink a little? ”

\"Yes! I also want to see Miss Sirona's battle! \"

"I'm not a combat expert, but I'd love to see it!"

\"What? The battle between Shirona and Lampo? I want to see it! \"

Hikari, Serena, and Haruka say they want to see the two fight. And her opponent, Dengzi, looks like she is going to war.

"Hehe, thank you. So, if it's one-on-one, let's play against each other. ”

"Yes, thank you"

Lamp breathed a sigh of relief, lifted his hat slightly, and stared at Shirona with a serious expression. The sharp gaze pierced into Sirona, and the aura that emanated could feel the hard work of Gadelia and Gaoyou.
