Pokémon have existed since ancient times and possess great power, being an object of worship and a symbol of awe. Among them, Liekong Zai is the most powerful, because his power is huge, and he has the ability to subdue Groudor and Gaioca, who could have destroyed the world. Meteors, on the other hand, worship the Lie Sky Sitting.

"It seems that the etymology of meteors comes from there, and it seems that the Burning Sky Sitting has a close relationship with the Meteor, they are a family that worships the Burning Sky Seat, so they are Meteor People."

"That's just the way it is."

"Ahh Meteors don't really set foot in the mundane world, but they don't seem to hate the mundane world. They came out with a lot of information. But "

"Just?"

"It's about being called a successor."

After investigating, I found out that there is a presence among meteors called "traditionalists". However, what is the person transmitting, what role does he or she play, and who is designated as the person who delivers the message? Even Kem couldn't know the details.

"As for the heir, no other name appears than this one. No other name appears than that of the successor from a long time ago. I don't even know why only this name appears. ”

"This thing is a little strange, then, what is the name of the inheritor?"

"It's Higana."

Shiga Prefecture? I don't know if this has something to do with zinnias

The woman Sirona met the other day, zinnia. There was an air of mystery, but in the end I still didn't know her true identity. Shiga Prefecture, whose name is exactly the same as that of the genus Zinnia. Maybe there was some kind of connection, but Shirona couldn't confirm it. First of all, there is no direct relationship between the two. This may not be something you should delve into.

"For the time being, I've sent everything I've researched to Daigo. Next time I'll ask him what he's going to do. ”

"You've also compiled the information on registered steel, right? Well done today. ”

"It was so shocking that I just fell asleep as soon as I lost consciousness."

"Hehe, you slept so well."

"You've been watching, haven't you?"

Since they usually sleep in the same bed, they can always see each other's sleeping faces. Now this is nothing new, but it is always a joy to see the sleeping faces of loved ones.

\"yes. Moreover, I talked a lot about Taka-san, and we had a great time. \"

"Mom or something. What are you talking about? ”

"It's about you."

"I'm sure you haven't heard any good news yet"

Sirona climbed into Kem's futon, who was exhausted. Then, she brought her face close to Cam's and gently cupped his cheek.

"I just wanted to tell Taki that I love you."

“… It makes me happy. ”

"Does Kem like me?"

"Ahh

"Hehe, thank you."

Sirona stopped, gently stroking Heiki, who was curled up in a Kem futon. Xiao Hei opened his eyes slightly, but was relieved by the feeling of being touched by Sirona and closed his eyes again.

"I thought about this when I was talking to Taki-san. I wonder if that's what a mother should be like? \"

Sirona had no mother. To be exact, I don't know my mom. As far as she can remember, she has been raised by her grandparents and has a younger sister, Krona. Moreover, before Sirona can remember, everything related to her parents has been disposed of by her grandparents. As a result, Shirona did not have the opportunity to meet her parents.

"Does Sirona want to meet her parents?"

"Oh, I don't know, at this age, I won't think about anything."

"Really"

"What would you do if I said I wanted to see you?"

"I can't guarantee that I'll see you. However, if you wish, I may be able to know your name and looks. ”

With Kem's investigative abilities, if he tried his best, he might be able to find out the faces and names of Sirona's parents. Regardless of how much Shirona herself doesn't know, if you look back at the birth records of a human named Shirona, you might find something. However, we cannot deny the possibility that he has died, and there is no guarantee that he is still in the Sinnoh region. As a result, Keim said there was no guarantee that he would be allowed to meet.

"Yes, I'm sure you can find out."

"But it doesn't matter. I don't want to know now, now my mother is Taki-san and I don't feel lonely because I have my grandma, grandpa, Krona and Pokémon. ””。

"That's right."

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to know. It's not that I'm not curious about what kind of person he is. However, it was Shirona's grandparents who raised her, and Taki became Shirona's ideal mother figure. Sirona felt that this was enough.

"I'm content now, so there's no need to force myself to figure it out. And, now there are more important things, isn't it? ”

"yes, I'm concentrating on my dissertation right now. Tomorrow I'll have to go to Registered Steel and ask him some questions. \"

"I didn't expect that I would be able to meet the real Registel and even find out the details of the conflict with Arceus, which was a very stressful day."

I thought I would meet Registier, but I didn't expect Registier to tell me about the conflict between Arceus and Reggigas. A previous paper written by Kem about the conflict between Arceus and Reggiagas. What I wrote in that paper matched what Registered Steel said, but the cause of the conflict was unknown, so what I was able to learn this time was a huge benefit.

"If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have had this experience."

"Maybe. I don't think I'll get a chance to meet them either. Moreover, I have never met Latias them. I have a lot of connections with your relationship. \"

I see. You found me that day, but at the same time I found Sirona. \"

"Hehe, I think we've all found each other, the most suitable person next to us."

Inside the futon, Sirona gently held Kem's hand. Kem felt Sirona's hand being pinched, and grabbed it back.

"Your heart is connected to a lot of people and Pokémon. I stumbled into this connection. Now, just like this, we're connected in the closest places. I am happy. ”

One like the ocean?? Hearts that accept and connect with many hearts. Knowing that she is the closest person to such a warm and deep heart, Sirona feels content.

"This is my world. There's me, there's Sirona, there's Pokémon, and everybody. I can't do it alone. ”

"I told you before, you're lonely."

"I hate to admit it, but I can't deny it. I feel lonely for a day without you. ”

"Me too. If I had to say anything, I want you to always be there for me. It's human nature, we can't do it, but when we can touch each other like that, I want to touch you fully. ”

Sirona placed Kem's arm under the futon and approached him. I could hear Sirona's quiet heartbeat across my arms.

“… Me too. ”

Kem said, hugging Sirona. The two inevitably came into close contact, their faces close together and their lips pressed together.

Then close your eyes and press your forehead together. They could feel each other's body temperature, breathing, heartbeat, and their hearts were calm.

I want to be a real family with you one day

With such a wish, Sirona's consciousness fell into a light sleep. I gently stroked Sirona's head while she slept, and then turned my attention to the black base that was sandwiched between her and Sirona. It was supposed to be a cramped place, but Blackie slept between the two people he loved, and his sleeping face was calm and comfortable. Kem smiled, unusually friendly, and slowly closed his eyes next to his beloved and Pokémon.

Kem fell into a deep sleep.

While dreaming that one day Shirona and I can become real family.

A tower tall enough to pierce a sea of clouds.

There's a woman on it.

"The building blocks have been collected without a hitch, and at this rate, I don't think we need to wait another week."

That woman was zinnia. She is a woman who has been in contact with Sirona a few days ago and is full of mystery. Although his appearance is a little childish, there is a hint of maturity on his body.

Zinnias pockets the stolen keystones she had collected and looked up at the sky.

\"yes. At this rate, no problem. Summon Lie Sitting, destroy the meteorite and it seems that we can accomplish it. \"

Far beyond Zigana's line of sight, a huge meteorite fell from the sky. In less than two weeks, the meteorite will fall into the land, causing great damage not only to the Hoenn region, but also to the planet.

"And in addition to the Keystone, I have to shut up people who want to do useless things. I think this one is more troublesome than the keystone. ”

Baizhinia let out a distressed sigh, while Gonnee beneath her feet made a worried sound. Baizhnia noticed the voice, bent down to look at Gonneyo, and patted him lightly on the head.

"Are you worried? Thank you. But it doesn't matter. It's my role, and I have to. I will do my best. ”

As soon as these words came out, Baizhnia's face became a little gloomy.

Well, the role wasn't meant to be mine.

The faces of people I used to spend time with come to my mind. The most important people who are allowed to fly in the sky in the Sky Seat. Zinnia slowly closed her eyes, thinking about the smile she would never see again.

I wonder what you would say if you saw me now

Baizhnia hugged Gonniyo tenderly as she sealed the thoughts in her heart.

It's been two days since I first saw registered steel.

The two went to register steel every day. I heard as much as I could about the conflict with Arceus, the encounters and lives of the ancients, the origins of the ancient writings, and all the other possible events. From the beginning of the confrontation with Arceus, many shocking facts were revealed to Reggie Steele, who expended a lot of physical strength in shock and excitement.

But beyond that, research has also made great progress. So far, there has been no progress in the research of Cashier Pokémon. Not only are there too few relics, but the ecology of Cashier Pokémon has not yet been fully clarified. Although this is an area of research that has not made any progress, a number of papers have been published. Some of these papers may be fundamentally overturned by the facts revealed this time. The facts presented so far by registered steel are astounding.

I see. Although you are living beings, like Regigas, you have unlimited energy, so you don't need food or rest. \"

''Yes, add some. We are immortal, of course, but we also fall. When you fall, you need to rest to recover. Although we have infinite energy, it takes a long time to recover. Also, there is a limit to the amount of energy we can use at one time. ”

"I think I'll need to recover as expected. When Reggigas was sealed, they said it stopped working, so I guess it was natural. \"

"yes, you don't have digestive organs or anything like that."

"Positive. The inside of my steel body is hollow. ”

"Hollow? Seriously? Is it really a living thing? ”

"Positive. We are creatures. However, it is more of a concept. We recommend that you recognize that energy has a will. ”

And just like that, I learned a lot of facts from Registered Steel. Reggie Steele repeatedly recounted the records to Sirona and his friends without any lies, and he told them not only the records needed for the Kem thesis, but also the records that were useful for Sirona's research. All of these interactions were recorded as video recordings, so before I knew it, I was on my fourth memory card.

This shows how important the record of registered steel is. Since this is an area where little research has progressed so far, the facts that registered steel tells us are information that no one knows. There are new discoveries ranging from records about ancient humans to the ecology of cashier Pokémon, and any of these records can be arguably a major discovery in this field of study.

"There are several other cashier Pokémon that have been discovered. Why didn't they tell you about their records like you did? ”

But at the same time, problems arise. Cashier Pokemon is extremely rare, but it can be found all over the world. So, Keim thought, if someone had touched it, maybe it would be possible to keep a record. Keim wondered if someone could communicate with the Cashier Pokémon in this way, then the research on the Cashier Pokémon would not be so delayed.

Registered Steel answered Keim's question.

"The exact reason for this is not yet known. But I don't think anyone like you would try to communicate with us. ”

"I guess that's the case. \"

"We've met a lot of Pokémon in different places, so they have some obvious resistance to them, so it's unlikely that someone studying Pokémon will find them in the first place."

"This is the result of our investigation into the Ofrey Stone Chamber. It seems that the cashier Pokémon found elsewhere are found in certain areas, but they are rarely seen in public. ”

Although it is a rare cashier Pokémon around the world, it generally does not appear in public. It looks easy to spot, but since it's hard for you to see it, it must be well hidden.

"We have a lot of power. If our power is abused, it threatens to destroy the world. So, we basically have nothing to do with the world. ”

"I see, it's a habit that comes from having power."

"It's close to the instinct of the cashier Pokémon race. Perhaps this is the reason why Pokémon with unique abilities are rarely seen in public. ”

"It's very likely."

Great strength and unique powers tend to attract attention. It would be nice if it was easier to stay, but there are always people who try to abuse that power. As a result, Pokemon may be sensitive to its malicious intentions and hide them from public view. Considering a Pokémon like Blackie, who is sensitive to malice, this is not an impossible story.

"I've heard all the questions I want to ask on the list. With these records, I won't have any difficulty writing my dissertation. ”

"That's enough records to write another book."

"I see, some of the records are not directly related to this paper, so I will write them in a separate paper. Thank you for being with me for so long, Reggie Steele. ”

"No problem"

Surrounded by the Pokémon of Hakuna and Kem, Reggie Steele remained calm until the end. Although it has a purpose, it is still a Pokémon that is more of a concept. I don't think anything feels like an emotion.

"Then I'll go first today. I've listened to all the questions I want to ask, so I'm going to do that, and if there's anything else you'd like to ask, I'll probably come back and ask you something. In that case, I'm grateful for your help. ”

"Consent"

"I'll see you later."

"Thank you, Reggie Steele. \"

The two put the Pokémon back into their balls and left the Kofun. The sky was red, and the sun was already half below the horizon.

"It's already night, and although it's calmed down today, I've been in it for a long time, and it seems that I have a problem with my sense of time."

"I've been underground for a long time and there are no radio waves. I can't help it because I don't have anything to tell me the time. ”

Because of being in Reggistier's room all day, their sense of time began to get strange. Since I'm in a room, I can barely tell the slope or temperature of the sun, so I can't tell the time of day. Even though I don't stay overnight, I don't think it's good for my health to have little exposure to sunlight during the day other than in the morning.

"But I was able to ask everything I wanted to know, so tomorrow I think I'll mostly put together the information."

"yes, according to the plan, I'm going to be in Hoenn for a week. I will share information with Dr. Platanu and collate the data. \"

The amount of information obtained from this survey is enormous. If not only the Ofres Stone Room but also Reggistier's records were included, it would take quite a while to put them together alone. But it's also worth the time to organize. Perhaps because he understood this, Kem didn't move much, but his expression was a little bright.

"A paper that uses so many records in a field of research that is not yet advanced is sure to cause a stir."

"As long as I'm lucky."

"Oh, it's not just luck, it's the result of your hard work, and most importantly, you didn't give up, to be precise, it's all the result of luck and hard work."

\"yes, now let's go home, Bashamo is hungry. \"

"Yes"

With that, Sirona took out Togikis and Kem took out Mukuhawk. Just as they were about to ride home on a Pokémon, Kem's smartphone vibrate.

"Huh?"

"Phone?"

"Look, wait a minute."

Kem pulled out his smartphone, looked at the screen, and tilted his head.

"Daigo?"

The person on the other end of the line was my best friend, Daigo, who called me the other day. I've sent you the previously requested record of the meteors. I think it might be because he said he would tell me later why he was investigating the meteors, but if that's the case, Daigo said he would tell me in advance. Since he called without prior notice, there must have been some urgent reason. Thinking so, Kem immediately picked up the phone.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"Ah, Cam! Sorry, I only contacted you the other day."

"It's fine. But looking at it like this, something must have happened, right? What happened? ”

"You spoke quickly and helpfully. Do you remember the space center we saw earlier? ”

"Oh? Oh, yes. ”

When Kem visited the Hoenn area before, he only saw the appearance of the Cosmos Center in Tokuzo City. I will never forget such a big building.

"In fact, right now the Hoenn region is facing a huge crisis. We were planning a countermeasure at the space center, but it seems that the magma team has suddenly attacked the space center. ”

The Magma Team, I believe they were part of the group that caused the unusual weather the other day.

Team Magma and Team Square. I heard Daigo say that it was these two organizations that caused the abnormal weather the other day. It seems that this group of people is a bit extreme, but I heard that they have reflected on the events of the previous day and have become quieter.

"I don't know why Team Magma is doing this. However, there seems to be a lot of members in the space center. So..."

"I want you to help me."

"I'm sorry. I know this is a big moment for you. But if I only have people to move now, I don't have enough people. I'm in a situation where I need even the help of minors. I know it's impossible. Can you lend me your strength? ”

"I see."

Kaiki immediately agreed to Daigo's request. Kem had always been kind to his relatives, but it was the first time that Daigo had asked for help in such a desperate voice. Therefore, the decision was made after judging that the crisis facing the Hoenn region right now is likely to be quite large.

“… Thank you. It's really helpful. ”

"Don't worry, even if it's boring, you'll care, so I'll keep it for you."

"Yes. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. ”

"So? What are we going to do? ”

"We? It's okay to ask again, but will Miss Sirona help me too? ”

"If I have to, I'll do it."

Listening to Shirona from the side, she also vaguely understood the situation. At this point, when Kem accepts, Shirona also decides to follow Kem. Kem understood this when he looked at Sirona's expression, but that was the reason for his words and actions.

"I think so. So, I don't know what to do, but I'm going to Dezo City now. I want you to go to Tokuzo City as well. It seems that the Aqua team that clashed with the magma team also had a dispute, but their spearhead was against the Four Heavenly Kings. So you and I"

"Space Center, okay, I'll be right over."

"I'm sorry. If there is something you don't understand, please contact me immediately. ”

"Ahh

"I beg you"

After saying that, the phone hung up. Kem put away her smartphone, and Sirona asked with a smile.

"Looks like something troublesome has happened."

\"Ahh I'll be going to Tokuzo right away. I'll tell my mom now. What about Bai Nai? \"

"Hehe, then I'll go too."

"I thought you'd say that. Probably Alago. I'm counting on you. ”

"Leave it to me. Then Togikis, please. \"

"Mukhokok, please."

Shirona and Kaimon each ride their own Pokémon and fly towards the city of Tokuzo.

*

When they arrived in the city of Dezo, there was a commotion all around. The people in the city have mixed feelings as they look at this huge building, the space center. At the entrance to the space center, there was a group of people dressed in red. Sirona thinks that what Daigo is talking about is probably the Magma Team.

"That could be the Magma Team."

"They say they captured the space center, so that's probably true."

"There are a lot of people, and it doesn't seem to be very capable, but there are too many people, and it can be a little difficult."

"I'm just using Gabriel to intimidate you."

"Maybe so, but if not, then it's troublesome."

"Anyway, Daigo will arrive in about thirty minutes. Is there a way to wait until then? \"

Now Daigo has moved here from Kanami City. It looks like it's coming by car, but it's still some distance from Kanami City to Tokuzo City. It will take some time.

One option is to wait until then. After all, Sirona and the others are not from the Hoenn region, although Kem is from the Hoenn region, it is not difficult to say that if they do something that is not suitable for them, things may become more troublesome. It's unclear if waiting is the best option, but it's definitely an option. However, hearing Kaim's words, Sirona shook her head.

"No need, let's go."

"Are you okay?"

\"You're saying you care about my situation, right? You don't have to worry about this. You want to hurry up for Daigo-kun, right? \"

I see. So, let's go. It will be difficult to clean up before Daigo arrives, but I need to clean up and organize the information as soon as possible. \"

"Yes"

With that, the two took out the Pokémon from the ball. Sirona takes Gabriel and Kem takes Bashamo to the center of the universe.

The lower members of the Magma Team noticed that the two were approaching the space center.

"Oh, hey. They seem to be coming towards me, aren't they? ”

"What?! The Four Heavenly Kings, Champions, and Gym Masters shouldn't be near Dezhen now! ”

\"Ah, that face! Isn't that Sinnoh Champion Sirona? How can there be such a big person here? \"

"Well, the one next to him doesn't, the one next to him doesn't look familiar."

"Whatever it is, it's our duty to stop you, isn't it? If we don't do well, Mistress Cagalli will\"

"Damn! With so many people, you can stop them, right? Do it! ”

Hearing the Magma Team's words, Sirona sighed softly. In terms of ability, she is probably far inferior to Kaim , let alone Sirona. At this level, it's doubtful that he will be able to earn a gym badge. However, since this situation does not require any rules, this can be more cumbersome than expected, given the possibility of using tools or lateral fissures. Also, even though they were out-of-towners and new arrivals, they didn't know much about the gym curator, Kem, which made me feel a little sorry.

"Those two over there! Stop it! It's now overrun by the Magma Brigade! We won't do anything if we go back. But if you're going to come in, we'll let you go home too, even if we watch you in pain! ”

My ambitions are weak. Maybe it's not that strong, but when there are more people, it's troublesome.

The two ignored Team Magma's words and moved on. Sensing that the two had no intention of stopping, Team Magma released the Pokémon from the ball. The Pokémon that appeared were as powerful as I imagined, but even more powerful than I thought. Just when Sirona thought that considering this number, it would take longer than expected, Kem twisted her neck and said.

"Shirona"

"Yes?"

"Move as you like. Matching. ”

“！”

Hearing Kam's words, Sirona's eyes widened slightly. His expression softened suddenly, revealing a defiant smile.

"Oh, I wonder if you can come with me?"

"In years, I've come the closest I've ever seen you fight. You can do it. ”

"Hehe, yes. That"

After Sirona stopped talking, she turned to the magma team with all her heart.

"Let's try it out! Gabriel, Dragon's Claw! ”

Gabriel let out a roar of rage and swung his strengthened claws at the Pokémon standing in his way. This alone can knock out two or three Pokémon, but if you have a large number of opponents, it won't be possible. Taking advantage of the gap in the dragon's claws, Glena jumped out from the side, but was stopped by Bashamo.

"Above the Sky"

Bashamo's 'above the sky' hit Glena directly. Glena's body was blown away by the force of the impact and collided with Matadogas, who was about to pursue Gabriel further, stopping his pursuit. Kem didn't forget that due to Bashamo's actions, the magma team's consciousness had shifted slightly to Bashamo.

"Damn! Baguda! The power of the earth! ”

"Michely"

Bashamo completely avoided the energy blowing out of the ground. At this moment, Bashamo's unique 'Acceleration' was activated, and his agility was greatly increased.

There, Kem noticed Helga in the corner of his field of vision. Helga turned his attention to Gabriel, and the two immediately realized what he wanted to do.

"Kem!"

"I know. Bashamo, let's change. ”

At Kem's order, Gabriel and Bashamo turned their backs to each other, their bodies rotated one hundred and eighty degrees, and they swapped places. Bashamo received the "Onibi" released by Helga, but Bashamo was not burned. While breaking through "Oniby", attack Helga with "infighting" to knock him down.

On the other hand, Gabrielus, who replaced Bashamo, approached Baguda and hit Baguda with the "center of the earth" at close range. Baguda received an efficient attack and was blown away, cutting down several Pokémon behind him. I thought I would be able to defeat some of them this way, but the Pokémon trapped in Baguda got back on their feet. Although there is damage, it doesn't seem to be to the point where you can't fight.

"You're doing better than I thought."

"Yes. It's going to take a while. ”

Sirona combed her hair, deepening her focus. At this moment, Kem felt the air around him become tense.

"I'm going to be serious, come with me."

"Ahh

Gavrías and Bashamo rush towards the Pokémon of the Magma Team.

"Sure enough, it wasn't that easy."

Hakuna, who made all the Pokémon of Team Magma unable to fight, said this while healing Gabriel.

Team Magma's Pokémon are stronger than I thought. It seems that the best of the lowest level have gathered here. While all the members took some time, they had enough power to collect all the badges. However, perhaps due to a lack of cooperation, their attacks were inconsistent. However, as long as it reaches a certain level, it is an attack that can deal damage. Sirona may be able to break through alone, but Gabriel alone will have a hard time breaking through.

But in fact, Gabriel broke through alone. It's all because of Keim's support. Sirona has been teaching Kaim how to fight, but only in solo or double combat. Keim only gave instructions based on the assumption that he would fight alone, but Kem made a very important move in this sudden doubles fight. Sirona was secretly surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that she could move so much.

"I expected it. Well, you've done enough to buy me time. ”

"yes, but unexpectedly."

"Do we have so many people and so many talents?"

"Nope. I didn't expect you to move so much in a doubles match. ”

"I just adapted it to Shirona."

But the person concerned pretended to be indifferent. The battle of tags is inherently much more difficult than fighting alone. If you don't understand each other's Pokémon movements, you may end up interfering with each other's movements, and in extreme cases, you are also in danger of killing each other.

Among them, Keim not only did not interfere with Gabriel's actions in the slightest, but made Gabriel's actions easier. There aren't many trainers who specialize in solo battles who can perform so well in unexpected doubles battles.

"That being said, there aren't many trainers who can handle it so well, when did you practice?"

"I don't practice. I basically only practice singles. You know. ”

"I thought you did it at the gym."

"I can't afford anything like that. It's close to the league right now, and it's been a relatively busy season. ”

"And how did you manage to move so much?"

"I know how Shirona's Pokémon moves. Where to look for a breakthrough, where to attackI think I've watched a lot of your moves over the years. ”

I've seen her fight more than anyone else since she became her teacher. Kem knows Shirona's battles inside out, including subtle changes in movements, the flow of commands, and Pokémon's movement trends. While he was teaching me, he also studied Sirona's movements, and as he learned where his strengths were, he was able to predict Sirona's movements almost perfectly. However, being able to predict is not the same as being able to win. When it came time to face each other, Sirona proposed further countermeasures to the orders given based on Kem's predictions. Therefore, it cannot be easily surpassed.

However, when teams are formed, this predictive power becomes incredibly powerful. This is because it is possible to make up for the gap based on Sirona's movements and make moves that make Sirona do exactly what she wants. With Karasi's cooperation, they couldn't even defeat Kem, let alone Bai Nai. The collaboration between the two is so good that one can't help but think so.

"That's the way it is. After all, Keim's eyes are good. ”

"Teeth?"

"Catch the quirks of movement and the flow of commandsNo matter how closely you look at them, you won't be able to master them unless you have an eye that can see them properly."

"Even though I have eyes to see, I don't have the brain to use it."

"It's good because you can train yourself in that area. In fact, you've got it all by now. ”

"Thank you for one person."

"Hehe, that person must be very proud."

Hearing Sirona's words, Kem shrugged. Then, Sirona gently placed her hand on Kem's cheek.

The Magma team and the others lay peacefully, but as they watched the two begin to make out, they wondered what they were showing. A few minutes later

"Kem! Miss Sirona! \"

Daigo and a boy disembarked from the aviation armament and ran towards them.

"It's still early."

"I'm sorry I caused extra trouble for the two of you"

"I said okay. Now, I'll at least get rid of the dew. ”

"Thank you. It's really helpful. ”

It must be quite a long way from Kanami City, where Daigo is located. And since it is on the other side of the ocean, it is necessary not only to let the cars fly away, but also to let the air armed drive them as fast as possible. The air armament that got on the ship with Daigo was probably because he was tired and felt a little tired.

"I'm sorry, Miss Sirona, thank you for your help. \"

"It's okay, don't worry. And what about the kid? ”

Then, Hakuna turned her attention to the boy beside Daigo. The boy wears a white hat that gives him a cheerful look.

Uh, this guy is somewhere

Kem recognized the boy's face. I thought they might have met on a trip, but the boy was about 10 or 12 years old at most. It is doubtful whether he was born at the time of the trip to Kem. It didn't seem like there was much connection, but when I saw him and Daigo side by side, I remembered the boy's face.

\"He's Yuki-kun. The abnormal weather problem a few days ago was solved with his cooperation. \"

\"It's me, Yuki! Nice to meet you! Miss Sirona! Miss Kaimeng! \"

\"Who was the last time Yuki was in the top eight of the Hoenn Alliance? \"

Kem U is a boy and I saw courage in the last Hoenn League. He remembered that there was a boy who was fighting Daigo at the time, and that was Yuki in front of him.

"Oh, are you watching?"

"That's because a very young man fights Daigo. I was very impressed. ”

"Now that I think about it, there is one. A girl about the same age as Light didn't expect it to be you. \"

"Hehe, you're a little shy."

Yuki smiled shyly, and the atmosphere softened for a moment, but Daigo quickly tensed up again. He asked the two of them with a serious face.

"Alright, that's the end of the greetings, did you two hear why the magma team is aiming here?"

In response to Daigo's question, Bai Nai nodded.

"Yes. A huge meteor is now approaching the Hoenn region and I heard that it was a communication cable that controls a device that can teleport it to other places. \"

When I asked one of the Magma Team subordinates, the subordinate meekly interrupted me. It is said that the magma team leaders were aiming for the control terminal of a device capable of sending meteorites somewhere, and they were forced to follow him. Although they are the lowest people, they are also human beings with strong wills. Although he couldn't refute the executive's words, he seemed to realize in his heart the strangeness of the behavior.

"I think the staff here seem to have bought us some time, but they can't save any more. I immediately went upstairs to help the doctor. Youji-kun, can you come along? "Me??"

"Of course! We will protect the Hoenn region! \"

"Yes, thank you. And Keim, Mr. Girona. I hope you two can free the captured employees. I think some of them may be tied up and unable to move. ”

At the entrance of the space center, only the magma team was present. However, many employees work at this space center. There are definitely some employees who are not directly involved in the development, but are not visible at all. Daigo guesses that the employee is likely being held somewhere, so he asks the two to ensure the employee's safety.

"Okay. I'll do it. ”

"Please. So Yuki-sama, let's go upstairs to see Dr. Kuroshi! \"

"Oh!"

The two ran away after saying that.

The rest of the people set off to ensure the safety of the staff requested by Daigo. According to the subordinates of the magma team, the employees were locked up in a warehouse in the back. I grabbed the key to the warehouse behind the reception and walked towards the warehouse, but the key to the warehouse was unlocked.

“？ It's open."

"Oh? I wonder if I can open it from the inside? ”

"Now it's just, if they can open up, what are the employees here doing?"

"I don't know. Anyway, let's turn it on. ”

Listening to Sirona's words, Kem opened the door. There were staff inside, but they didn't look tied.

"Okay?"

"Uh, yes? What about the Magma team? ”

"They caught us and now it's safe. Moreover, the door is open, what are you doing here? ”

Employees are in open warehouses with no signs of being tied up. If it's open, there's no reason to come here. However, they are still in this warehouse. When Sirona asked why, a staff member replied calmly.

"The female captain of the magma team, her eyes are scary, she is crazy, she doesn't know what she is going to do."

"Is that what the executives are talking about?"

"Yes, probably. Perhaps he was driven by too strong an impulse to move the Magma team alone. ”

"It seems that people at the bottom are skeptical of this move. But we can't control the madness of the executives, and I don't know what they'll do if they do bad things to us. "That's why I want them to be quiet here." I was asked to do so. ”

"I see, I guess, it's to reduce the risk of someone getting out of control."

The two of them didn't know about the director, but it seemed that he was in a dangerous situation. She wasn't sure if it was the boss who gave the order or the executives were out of control, but looking at the current situation, Sirona predicted that the executives were more likely to get out of control.

"For now, they don't have any ill will. Daigo-kun is currently gathering information about the situation so that everyone can go to a safe place. \"

"Thank you..."

"I'll take them there. Sirona, please check to see if there are any other captured employees inside. ”

"yes. Leave it to me. ”

Led by Keim, the employees were taken to the hall. Bai Nai, who was left behind, looked around the warehouse to see if there was anyone else, and then returned to the hall where Kem was.

"Who else?"

"He's gone, he's fine now."

As he spoke, the upstairs room fell silent. Daigo and his friends may well have captured the executives.

"Is it solved?"

"Maybe. Just wait a minute. Daigo-kun should have a report. \"

I see. I think I'll take a break before then. \"

\"yes. I came straight from the South Seas, so I was a bit tired."

Before she could finish "I'm tired," a tattered cloak suddenly appeared in the corner of her field of vision. Seeing the familiar cloak, Bai Nai couldn't help but turn his head. Hakuna didn't see anything there, but the place where he saw the cloak was the stairs that led to the upstairs where Daigo and the others were.

I don't know what it is. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding. Even so, however, Shirana sensed a bad premonition from the strange connections she had made when she came to the Hoenn region.

"Sirona? \"

Kem shouted to Sirona, who had a mysterious expression on her face. When Sirona was called, she looked down into Kem's eyes and said.

"Keim"

"What is it?"

"Are you ready to give up this world?"

Faced with the sudden question, Kem's eyes widened slightly, a little surprised. I thought it had something to do with what Hakunai said during the previous investigation of the Ofrey Stone Chamber, but I don't know anything else. Therefore, Kem didn't think much about it, and said this sentence according to his heart.

"Ah, I can. I am not prepared to bear the burden of destroying another world before I die. ”

"I thought you'd say that."

Sirona smiled softly, closed her eyes, and took Kem's hand.

"Follow me."

Space Center

Operations room

"Why, why you always, always, always! You're always in my way! \"

Cagalli, the captain of the magma team, who was defeated by Daigo and Yuki, grabbed her hair, gritted her teeth, and glared at Daigo and Yuki.

Cagalli hates Matsufuro, the captain of the Magma Team, because her plans are thwarted by Daigo and Yuki. The Perfect Leader's Perfect PlanHe hated from the bottom of his heart the two people who stood in his way, and when he saw Matsuzaka fully grown, he despaired of the world. He began to seriously believe that such a world was unnecessary, and this time he forced his men to attempt to destroy the dimensional teleporter.

Of course, this is just a grudge. Matsufang himself understood that his plan was stupid and superficial. He was even glad he was stopped. For Cagalli, however, things seem to be different. Matsuzaka did everything right. Because he really believed this, he didn't let Matsubo admit his mistake. So he intended to destroy everything with meteorites, but was also thwarted. Cagalli's heart was in turmoil.

But I don't have time to worry about this. At the same time, meteorites are approaching the Hoenn region. The remaining time will not be more than three days. Daigo stepped forward and quickly retracted the device, ending the situation.

"Now, get that device back. Don't do anything clumsy. You don't want to further jeopardize your position as a leader. ”

"You coward!"

"Say whatever you like."

With that, Daigo retrieved the device from Cagalli. Cagalli glared at Daigo in frustration, but considering that she had Yuki's Ten Kane next to her, it was likely that she would be held down even if she jumped out.

After getting the device back, Daigo was relieved to see that the device was not damaged. Then he turned to Yuki, who was standing next to him, and smiled, feeling a little relieved.

"I'm sorry, Yuki-san. Thanks to you, I am saved. \"

"Don't worry, Daigo-san. Daigo-san, who helped me a lot when I was traveling! It's nothing special! \"

"Thank you. Now, Dr. Empty Stone, give me this device."

Just as Daigo was about to hand over the device to the doctor, the Banshee suddenly appeared and snatched it from Daigo's hand.

“？”

"Ahh This guy's controls! ”

Due to the suddenness of the incident and the slow reaction, the device was taken away from Daigo's hands. Ariki immediately tries to catch Gollum, but Gollum flies backwards and escapes from Ariki's hands.

"I'm sure of this"

"Shiga Nosu!"

Just as Daigo recalls the familiar Gonionio, Gonionio runs to the petite woman who appears afterward. The woman took the device from Gonne's hand and looked at it with interest. Seeing this scene, Daigo couldn't help but raise his voice.

"You're a shooting star!"

"I'm a citizen. I'm zinnia. ”

The zinnia gently stroked Gonionio and began to speak as he played with the device.

"This device is so amazing that it is said to send a meteorite somewhere and make it look like a blessing in disguise. I get it, as the champion over there said, this world is the hope of people and Pokémon. ”

"Yes, that's right."

Hearing Daigo's words, Baizhinia completely changed, from his original easy-going demeanor to a serious expression, and continued to say to Daigo and the others.

"But, have you ever thought that for someone, for a certain Pokémon, this can be the worst of despair? \"

"What do you want to say?"

"Haha! You don't understand, I didn't expect much from it. ”

When he said this, he had a cold smile on his face, and there was no smile. Originally, Daigo would not be moved, but at the same time, Daigo couldn't help but fall into silence, and he felt a trace of domineering and even killing intent.

Leaving Daigo alone, Zinnia turns to Yuki.

"Hey, there's Ki-kun. Do you understand that the hope of people in this world has become the despair of people in another world? \"

"I don't know"

I see. Of course I don't know\"

"But"

Yuki interrupted Tsingan and continued.

"If there's a future where other people die because we're saved, I don't want to choose that. If there was a way to save us and everyone else, no matter how difficult it was, we would do our best! We may not be able to do it alone, but as long as we all work together, there is nothing we can't do! ”

I see. That's what you said. But you can't. Because you don't know, right? \"

"What?"

"We know that. We have inherited this for a long time. ”

"So what?"

Baizhinia began to speak, barely paying attention to Yuki's words.

"World fluctuations caused by super evolution. Observe and confirm that the world that is similar to this world is yes, a world that is almost the same as the Hoenn region where we live. \"

"Parallel worlds?"

Hearing Daigo's words, Zinnia clapped her hands happily and smiled at Daigo.

"Humph! The champion is even smarter than I thought! Yes, this is a world where the path of evolution is somewhat different from ours, and there is no such thing as a super-evolution. That war from more than 3,000 years ago never took place, and neither did the ultimate weapon. "Created. World Line. What would happen if a meteorite suddenly appeared in that world? It was a world where meteorites could not be destroyed and could not be distorted, what would happen to the people there? ”

Zinnia spoke with pity, contempt, and even a little self-deprecation. Yuki, who is not very familiar with history, tilted his head and narrowed his eyes, as if sensing something. But I can't say anything because I'm not sure. Looking at the two of them, Zinnia sighed.

"I don't know. Yuki-kun, I think maybe but your imagination is not enough. \"

After abandoning the two, Baizhnia turned to the device in his hand. The two realized Zigana's true intentions and immediately tried to make a move, but it was too late.

Zinnias used all the strength of her arm to try to break the device. At that moment, the air shook.

"Lucario, new work. \"

“！”

Lucario suddenly appears and kicks Zigana's hand. The force of the impact caused the device to leave Tsigana's hand and fly away. As I turned my attention to where the device was flying, I saw a beautiful blonde somehow catching the flying device while a young man with black hair stood there.

"Hello, nice to see you again. Shirona. ”

"Yes. Nice to meet you, zinnia. ”

The two met again after a few days and quietly exchanged their ambitions.

"Miss Sirona, Kem"

Daigo whispered out the names of the two, feeling a little relieved. Daigo and Yuki can't stop Tsuyasu from doing anything right now. At that time, if it weren't for Sirona's Lucario retrieving the device from Zigana at high speed, the device would have been destroyed by Zigana's own hands.

"Sirona, what an unexpected reunion. Isn't it a rather difficult reunion, though? \"

Zinnia maintained her easy-going attitude, but I felt that there were thorns everywhere in her words. Zigana was trying to destroy the device, and if she could stop him, it would be inevitable.

On the other hand, Hakuna was not intimidated by harsh words, but responded with a resolute attitude.

"yes, if you weren't hiding here, you wouldn't have done such a rough move."

"Uh, it seems that Sirona's eyes are not enough to deceive me. Didn't you destroy my existence? \"

"Nope. I've only recently started to look a little younger. ”

I see. So? Does Shirona know what she's holding in her hand? \"

"Yes. It's something to protect the Hoenn region from meteorites, right? \"

"That's right, this world can escape meteorites. But unlike other worlds, we have no choice, and they can only be destroyed by our own hands. ”

"That's why you're trying to destroy this device?"

Zigana was completely trying to destroy the device. If Lucario hadn't played with it, the device would have been shattered by now. There must be a reason why Zigana came all the way here to destroy this device. If it is to protect the parallel world, then Baizhnia's words make sense.

However, the existence of parallel worlds has not been confirmed. Scientists can't risk their own world for the sake of a world they don't even know exists. However, since Baizhinia tried to destroy it, it means that Baizhinia was convinced of the existence of a parallel world, or that it was observed.

"Yes! In order to protect a world that is similar to this but different from here! ”

"What should our world be like for that parallel world?"

"It's not wise to ask about what you already know, Sirona."

Zinnia slowly walked towards Sirona. Then, they stopped in a place that was barely out of reach even with their hands outstretched.

"I'm trying to protect this world and the rest of the world. That's why I don't need a device like that. In order to stop the stupidity of not learning the lessons of the past, I must destroy it. ”

"That's why. \" Baizhinia added as he held out his hand to Sirona. Then, his expression distorted, as if in pain.

"Leave it to me, Sirona. I don't want you to be someone who doesn't learn the lessons of the past. \"

Somehow heartbreaking words. Sirona immediately accepted the words, knowing that it was from the heart, and said.

"I can't give you this."

"I see"

"I see what you mean, zinnia. This has to do with the negative legacy of the past, and if used again, prevents us from becoming beings who never learn anything, in other words, the act itself is yours. This is your kindness. ”

Zinnia did not answer. However, the fluctuating guide that Zigana wears makes it clear that this is her true intention.

"Does Shirona know about the war that took place more than 3,000 years ago?"

"Yes. I am an archaeologist, although my area of expertise is different. I know that. ”

\"Now that you know this, would you still leave something like this?" For you who like Pokémon, I don't think it's an option. \"

"Maybe. I wouldn't want to use it if I could. But if I had to, I would use it. ”

"Even if it's a choice that requires a lot of sacrifices?"

"Yes. I am ready to carry the lives of all the victims on my shoulders. I know perfectly well that I will live on many corpses"

The eyes are firm and full of determination. Seeing this scene, Zinnia breathed a sigh of relief slightly, then folded her hands on her hips and laughed in shock.
