In the league finals, the top 8 teams of the last Sinnoh League are about to enter. Many trainers from other regions also participated, and the level of combat will be as high as last year. \"There are a lot of powerful members here, and it's especially rare to see Aoki from this Pardia Alliance, isn't it rare to come here from such a long distance? \"

"Ah, it's rare for a trainer from Padia to come to the Sinnoh League. Looking at the past records, there are almost none. Place is far away, probably that's it. \"

"But Kem is watching, so something must be going on, right?"

"That's right, this person is just an ordinary office worker."

\"Huh? Is that all? \"

"Ah, that's the weird part, I don't think an average office worker would be able to cross the championship road. I don't know what got him to this point, but a trainer has the ability to cross the championship road when he is working. "It's impossible for an office not to pay attention to it."

That Aoki is now fighting in the preliminaries. Although he looked lazy, his orders were accurate. His skills are so high that I can't believe he's an average office worker.

"I see, maybe he's a little similar to Kaim. \"

"What do you mean?"

"He's the kind of guy who is very patient and tries to keep his attacks coherent while keeping his eyes open and ready to fight back. Once the offensive is launched, it will be troublesome. ”

"It's a very effective way."

A quick glance at the data I have shows that there are a lot of normal types of Pokémon. The normal type has no weaknesses other than the combat type. As a result, many exercises can be suppressed to a lower level of power. In addition, normal types tend to have a wide range of techniques, and it can be said that multiple types of techniques can be used even if the types do not match, which can be said to be attractive.

"In any case, most of the trainers will disappear today. We'll look at the results of the qualifiers and continue to sift through the data. ”

"Please. This year won't be easy either. ”

Sirona looked around the preliminaries with a strong fighting spirit. How far can you use your Pokémon and your own power? It seems that people can't help but look forward to it.

"Don't get too excited."

"Yes, but you have to control it."

"Please control yourself."

Even though Kem was complaining, his voice sounded vaguely funny.

On that day alone, more than half of the trainers were eliminated. While preparing for the main battle, the two watched the remaining powerhouses further compete.

And the next day, the fiercest fighters who were about to take part in the main battle gathered here.

*

Looking at the list of participants for this year's main event, Bai Nai was terrified by the night wind. Bai Nai's long golden hair glowed with a faint sheen in the faint moonlight.

"This year's squad is as strong as ever."

Shirona turned her gaze to where the voice had come from. After taking a shower, Kem hugged Xiao Hei and wiped his wet hair.

"It's still early."

"You're just growing."

"If you don't blow dry your hair, you're going to catch a cold."

"Let it dry."

Use a hair dryer to roughly dry your hair. Although he was more careful when drying Sirona's hair, Sirona sighed softly when she saw him so sloppy.

"Don't be so rude. You have beautiful black hair. ”

"It's okay, I am."

"Ma'am. Lend me this. ”

Sirona took the hair dryer from Kem and began to gently dry Kaim's hair. However, Kem's hair is much shorter than Sirona's and dries easily. Kem's hair dried out in a matter of minutes.

"Yes, it's over."

"Not much will change."

"It's going to change. I'm the one who talks about it all the time, so there's no doubt about it. Hey, Blackie. ”

Hearing Sirona's words, Heiki, who was held in Kem's arms, nodded happily. "I think that's it," Kem whispered as he stroked Blackie.

"How's the adjustment?"

"It feels good that I can play at 100 per cent no matter who my opponent is."

"I'm not worried, but all I can say is that it's amazing to be able to do it in such a short amount of time."

"Hehe, of course."

Kem looked at Sirona, who was smiling happily, and unlocked the tablet. The screen that appears lists the Pokémon registered by Shirona.

This time, Bai Nai registers the best members she often sends out to fight: Midan, Tritoton, Roselade, Lucario, Milocarlo, and Gabriel. The Pokémon Alliance selects three Pokémon from the registered Pokémon and sends them into battle. The rule at this point is that a Pokémon that has not yet registered can be brought out. Todgikis and Polygon Z are often suggested as candidates for this swap.

"In the main match, Sirona will start in the second round. Potential opponents are the army of Futaba and the callum of Mayu Town. They're all newcomers, right? Moreover, this army was also there last year. ”

"It seems that the showdown between the newcomers will be interesting. Moreover, Callum-kun is a newcomer to the Sinnoh Alliance, and I looked at the stats, and it was about the same as my team, a balanced team. ”

"Ah, I played in the main draw of the Carlos League two years ago, and I lost last year in the qualifiers, but I also had good results in other competitions."

Callum, who participated in the main tournament this time, has the experience of participating in the main matches of the previous Carlos League. Although he lost in the first round of the main event, there is no doubt that he is a talented trainer who can compete in the main event. Moreover, this teenager is the same age as Red and Green, and he has only been a trainer for about three years. It can be said that he has considerable talent.

"There are a lot of young coaches this year. We have Ye-chan, hibiki-kun from Johto, and Sumo-chan, the leader of the dojo. I'm glad to see young talent emerging. ”

"Shikari isn't here."

"Yes, he is now cultivating in the Battle Domain, maybe he is thinking of a way."

Last year, Hikari showed a similar level in the match against Sirona, but she did not play in this year's league. Sirona doesn't know exactly why, but Hikari seems to have something in mind. As a result, she is currently working the front lines of the battle, aiming to surpass Sirona one day.

"I don't know when the next fight will be, but the next time I fight that girl will definitely be a fierce fight."

"I guess. He's also a genius, though not as good as Red. ”

Led by red, the number of trainers with the ability to participate in the main battle is increasing, although the trainers are inexperienced. In this competition, there are also some coaches who have only two or three years of training experience, but they have advanced all the way to the main competition. A trainer who can compete in the main competition in just a few years is a genius. However, even among them, red can be said to be the best.

\"Red Jun, huh? I remember that battle very well. \"

"You're good enough to be able to fight on an almost par with that amazing genius."

Shirona is not a genius. There is no doubt that he has a certain talent, but it cannot be called a genius yet.

However, this means that his Pokémon combat talent, as well as his "thinking talent" are definitely in the realm of genius. Thinking and thinking, in addition to this, is "condensed thinking". This is the strength of Hakunai and the reason why she has been able to dominate the Sinnoh regional champion for a long time.

"Talent, huh?"

"Yes?"

"I have a few things to think about. You see, some very talented kids have been popping up lately, right? So it made me more aware of the generational change. ”

I have no intention of quitting the fight, and I have no intention of losing to a trainer who is on the rise. But that being said, one day I'm not going to be a champion anymore. I'm fully aware of that, and to be honest, I'm happy that young coaches are coming in all the time. Still, the title is something that Sirona is proud of and one she wants to keep for as long as possible.

"In the joy of their coming to power, there is also a little fear. There is a fear that one day they will give up the title to someone else. ”

"You rarely complain."

"Because all I can tell you."

It was precisely because he was none other than Kem that he was able to pour out his innermost thoughts like this. There is darkness in everyone's heart. Shirona knows how much emotional support it can give you to having a place to vent your emotions no matter what.

Kem is also not good at relying on things, but Shirona is very good at relying on things. However, for Sirona, she has a strong heart and abilities, so she doesn't need to rely on him to cope with it. As a result, they rarely have the experience of relying on others. However, no matter how strong your heart is, the accumulated darkness will consume your heart. If what she had stored for nearly twenty years collapsed, Sirona's heart could be completely shattered. However, a place called Kem emerges, where he can vent his darkness and weaknesses. Therefore, by taking out what she had been hoarding, Sirona was able to successfully get rid of what she had been hoarding. However, Kem doesn't understand how important it is to save Sirona.

"I think it's a little scary to pour out my heart like that. \"

"I guess."

"I've probably never seen anything like this before, not even for my family. It's kind of scary, but I don't feel bad. ”

"It's amazing, you have the courage to admit your weaknesses, I admire you."

"Oh, you have the ability to admit your weaknesses, and you've made it this far because you know your weaknesses."

"I know. However, as far as I'm concerned, I still don't know if it's approved. I'm still not sure about a lot of things. ”

"It doesn't matter. I'm also lost in a lot of things. It's important to think about what can be found in the chaos. People are thinking creatures. ”

\"Ah, that's right. \"

Shirona stood up and slapped Kaim on the head roughly. He kissed her forehead.

"But don't think about it alone. You have me, and I have you. If I get lost and want to stop."

Shirona said, putting her hand on Cam's cheek.

"Call my name, just call me and I can walk again."

\"Ah, I see. \"

"Hehe, that's a good answer, then I'll go take a shower."

Bai Nai took a change of clothes and walked to the bathroom.

Kem, who had been left behind, looked behind him. Then Hei, who was sitting on my lap, started rubbing his head, and I turned him over and stroked Hei's belly. When Blackie was petted, he smiled happily. Seeing Blackie's cuteness, Kem couldn't help but laugh, Blackie was clearly the evil type in the battle.

*

The next day, the first round of the league ended. That alone would have made half of the trainers disappear from this main battle.

\"Hyo-tae-kun, it's a pity. \"

"My opponent is Kikuno, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, who is not a good opponent, and I lost physically. He was tired despite all my efforts, so I thought he would be fine. ””。

Kaimu's friend Bingta was defeated by the Four Heavenly Kings Kikuno and eliminated by the alliance. From the beginning, her earth-based strength was inferior to Kikuno's, and most importantly, her type compatibility was poor. He must have been disappointed, but with a determined expression on his face. Keim didn't think there was anything to worry about and turned his attention to the results of other matches.

\"Uh, that Aoki from the Pardian League, did he defeat Miss Melissa? His normal range of skills played very well. \"

"They don't work with each other's matching moves. Moreover, the resistance of the normal type is better. Their ability to be simple is the same, but I think the type compatibility varies greatly. ”

\"I see, this year, uh, losing too much. My opponent is Kasumi of Hanada Dokan, and the type fit is the worst. \"

"Yes, if you are attacked by the water element, it will be difficult for the fire attribute to attack, and besides, the stage is also very disadvantageous for you."

The stages of the league are basically random. This time, the stage chosen for the battle of Oba and Kasumi is "Wetland". Although it is basically a level where there are no problems with action and technique, the wet stage is Kasumi's Michimata. Although he was pushed to the limit, he was finally defeated by Kasumi's fierce attack.

"I'm going to defeat the Four Heavenly Kings."

"It's a bit of luck, but it's amazing, I guess she's a tomboy mermaid, right?"

"Huh? Uh, that's it, nickname. ”

"Can't you just say it better?"

"Please don't disturb me."

Kem smiled wryly and tilted her head, but since she had nothing to say, Hakuna turned her gaze back to the table. Only Goyo, Kasumi, Kikuno, Ryo, Aoki, May, Jun, and Seed Sirona remain. The top 8 of this year's Sinnoh League have been decided.

"The Four Heavenly Kings are really strong, almost all of them are in the top eight, and the May classmate was also one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Jierong Alliance."

"In terms of the Four Heavenly Kings, their strength is one level higher than that of the Dao Hall Master, of course, they are not unable to win, but in terms of physical strength, it is self-evident." Taller than the curator of the gym. ”

"It looks like it's going to be fun."

The domineering style worn by Bai Nai has become slightly stronger. For Shirona, who really likes to fight, how she is looking forward to this tournament where the strongest come together. Keim, who had been watching from the sidelines, understood. So I know I don't have the stamina to play here.

"It's good to look forward to, but don't get too excited now. By the time you get to the finals, you'll run out of power. ”

"I know. Also, I'm assuming you'll make it to the finals. ”

"There's no way you don't go. For me, for you. "He's the best player. ”

In the championship match, Sirona lost to the red team. However, for Kem, the best trainer is Shirona, and the Pokémon trained by Shirona is also the best Pokémon. Because Sirona's fighting style is the best fit for Kem.

"For me, there's no better trainer than you. Being able to support you is my purpose in life, and I am proud to be your supporter. There is no reason to doubt that such a trainer will win. ”

“… I am happy. ”

True feelings from the heart, no lies. Hearing these words that pointed directly at herself, Sirona felt a burst of excitement in her heart. My heart is filled with joy to be able to fight with my beloved again.

"When I fight, it's just me and my Pokémon. But when I think I'm not alone, I don't know why. I always feel like I'm getting stronger. ”

"Really"

With that, Kem pressed the blue ring around his neck and the chain towards Sirona.

"Can you feel more now?"

The same expressionless face. But the light in the depths of her eyes was one of determination to fight alongside Sirona.

Sirona smiled and took the ring. He then puts the ring around his neck and gently squeezes it.

"Thank you"

"Look, I'll tweak it."

"Yes. I'll definitely make adjustments. ”

After saying that, the two went to the side field to adjust.

*

night

After dinner, while Sirona is taking a bath, Keim is watching the moon with Blekey on the hotel balcony. The faint moonlight was brighter than I thought and I could see outside clearly.

"It was a good night."

The surroundings are quiet and the wind is calm. The sea is illuminated by the moonlight, and the waves echo softly. Perhaps because he's from Minato, Kem likes to listen to the sound of the waves. Listening to the sound of the waves in this way calms your mind and clears your mind.

While I was enjoying the evening, I suddenly saw a boy on the terrace of the hotel below. Kem recognized him from the red hat, sunglasses, and blue coat he was wearing.

“… That guy..."

After muttering so much, Kem took Hei out with him.

When I left the hotel to go to where the boy was, the boy was still with Meowix. The boy apparently noticed Cam's footsteps and turned to look at Cam.

"Good evening"

"Oh, what are you doing at this time, Callum?"

“？ Have I introduced you to my name? ”

"No one came to this game without knowing you."

"Ah, that's true, too."

Blakey walked over to Callum, who smiled shyly. Then he smiled at the Knicks at Callum's feet. Nicks smiled in response, and the two began to play together.

Callum smiled a friendly smile when he saw the two of them. Then, his gaze returned to Kem.

"What about you?"

"Kaim, the owner of the Gym in the Sinnoh region. \"

Kem replied as he showed his gym captain credentials. Callum's eyes widened in surprise at the answer.

"You're the head of the gym! Yes? But this year's league "

"I'm not going to race. I have other things to do. I'm not going to race. ”

"I see"

"So? What are you doing at this time? ”

Callum were beaten in the first round today. So, he may have come here with a heart of failure, but somehow, the young man in front of him didn't seem to be heartbroken.

"I'm reminiscing about today's fight. Remember that battle properly so I can relate it to the next one. ”

"I can't believe you could think of such things at that age. It's a very special thing. ”

"What do you think? If I hadn't lost to Miss Kahn in the last Carlos League, maybe this wouldn't have happened. \"

In the last Carlos League, Callum was defeated by champion Kahn. Just looking at the results, it can be said that he played well, but at that moment Callum realized how fragile his power was. As a coach, Callum realizes how vulnerable he is as a person, but at the same time, Kahn teaches him to "face himself," something he continues to do to this day.

I thought for a moment what Canette Tsang had told me, and now all I can do is "Don't take my mind off what I can't do." "I don't know if that's correct. But that's how I deal with my weaknesses. I can't put it into words since I started doing this, but I feel like I've made a lot of progress. I think it's still a long way from getting to where it comes to seeing any results, but I definitely hope to be able to surpass myself one day. ”

Know your current limits and face them. Words are easy to say, but nothing more than facing your own weakness and darkness. The boy chooses to approach what everyone carries with them but does not want to attract attention. That alone doesn't change anything. However, Callum believes this is what he needs to reach future strength.

Keim knows firsthand how much courage it takes to admit his weaknesses. When he was the same age as Callum, he couldn't face him and eventually gave up. If he hadn't met Sirona, he would have lived a life of not admitting his weaknesses. Although he didn't say it out loud, Keim had the utmost respect for Callum because Callum was able to do it at his age.

Your attitude is special. I'm sad to hear myself say that.

Once I gave up on the past. Seeing that Callum was so different from the man who gave up on himself, he smiled bitterly in his heart, just a little.

But now it's different. As the director of the gym and a disciple of Sirona, I have some things that I must do.

"So did you look back at that battle before?"

"Yes. Looking back on that battle now, my heart still beats. I don't often see such battles. After all, Pokémon League is the best in any region. \"

"Don't you regret it?"

"It's frustrating. But this regret and the memory of the battle will make me stronger. That way I won't lose to that guy. \"

"That person?"

"Yes. He was a friend of my hometown. He is also a trainer, but he is not a combat specialist, he is a coordinator. He's always working hard and moving forward, and I want to catch up with him as a person. With this mind, I'm doing it. "I'm here."

Kem didn't know who that friend was. However, to be able to change this teenager to this extent must be of great significance to him.

After thinking about it, Kem sat down beside Karum. Then Blakey next to him got between Cam's legs and rubbed his face. Keim noticed Callum's gaze, wondered what was going on, and pulled his smartphone out of his pocket.

"You're going to reflect on that fight, right? Your subjective memory is important, but when you look back from an objective perspective, you see something different. ”

“？”

"You look like this, but you're the leader of the gym, and you can at least teach, as long as you're good enough."

"Yes! Be! Come on! ”

"Kem, you took a shower so you're not there?"

When Sirona returned to her room after taking a shower, Kem wasn't there. When I picked up my smartphone, I saw a message from Keim: "He's coming for a walk." "Looking at the message time, a little time has passed. It felt like a long walk, but just when I thought it was time to go home, I heard happy voices outside. Although the voice was faint, Sirona didn't miss the sound of Kem mixed with it.

Seduced by the sound, I looked out and saw Cam and a boy talking about something while looking at a smartphone screen.

"I think if I can put the worth here next time, I'll have an advantage after that."

"I see, it's not bad. I agree to add the harsh to the table, but if the brave bird on the counter flies here, isn't there a problem? \"

'Nyonicus might be beaten, but I think if I can take away Mukhok's speed, I can use that as a starting point.

Next to Cam is Callum, who is playing in the league final. He seemed to hear the conversation and was thinking back to the battle.

"It's okay to steal legs, but Mukuhawk's attack power is quite painful. It's not bad to bet on paralyzing cherubs, but I think it's more certain and more reliable. \"

"I see, it's a good idea to burn rice to reduce attack power. \"

"It's a good idea to keep the spawn character in the game against Dototh. It's your preference. If you're using Meowyx as a starting point, Reflectors are an option against an army with a large number of physical Pokémon. And also

"Does that mean you're going to start with Meow Thoroughly?"

"It's up to you. Meowth is a pretty dexterous Pokémon, though. I think you can mainly create a starting point and weaken your opponent based on what you're doing? ”

"Of course. Yes. Ah, but if you consider the situation with Mukuhawk's movement, what about the reflector? \"

"It's okay to decipher Mukuhawk's movement patterns, are there any characteristics of his movements?"

\"！ I、Now, let's try again! \"

It seems that he is the director of the gym and is instructing Callum. Looking at him like this, it's hard to believe that he is one of the leaders at the lowest level of the Daoist Pavilion.

She felt like she wanted to watch a little longer, but it wasn't fun to leave her alone, and it looked like it would take a long time, so Sirona raised her voice to the two of them.

"Kem!"

Karum was surprised by the sudden sound and looked around. Kem knew who it was when he heard the voice, so he turned his gaze in the direction of the room where he was staying. Tempted by this, Callum turned his head to look in the same direction, and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw the people there.

"Ahh

"You're doing something fun."

"Okay then."

"I wonder if you can mix it too!"

With that, Bai Nai jumped out of the balcony. Callum was startled by the sudden movement, but Kem sighed softly as he threw the monster ball.

"Please, Mukuhawk."

Mukuhawk emerges from the ball and catches Shirona, who is starting to fall. He was able to successfully dissipate the shock through the air, most likely as a result of a long commute with Keim.

Sirona's Mukhok riding Kem landed next to the two. Then he gently stroked Mukuhawk and turned to face the two of them.

"If you're going somewhere, let me know."

"You left a message, I don't want to stay that long."

"That being said, it looks like you've been around for a long time?"

"No, I just met someone who deserves to teach me."

Karum froze in front of Sirona and Kaim, who were talking normally. I didn't expect Sirona to appear so suddenly, and in such an unconventional way.

Seeing Karum, Sirona smiled softly at him and stopped him.

\"Suddenly sorry. I'm Sirona. I am the champion of the Sinnoh region. \"

\"Ah, sorry. It was so sudden that it took me aback. I'm Callum and I'm from the Carlos area. \"

"Your first round was a great fight, and I want to fight you too."

"Me too. I want to fight you, the strongest woman in the Sinnoh region. \"

If I defeat the army, I will be able to fight Sirona. Shirou is in front of me Sometimes, Na's ability even surpasses Jun's, but more importantly, by fighting Sirona, you can be more aware of how big the gap is with the top level. Callum realized once again that he was the one who couldn't even get that opportunity.

"So? What are you doing? ”

"First round of review. To put it simply. ”

"He's very enthusiastic about it."

"It's a profession."

"What about you, Callum? Did you find Keim's guidance helpful? ”

"Yes, very much. I've never seen my videos with anyone before, so that's really helpful. He pointed out things I wouldn't have noticed when I watched it myself, and honestly, it was really helpful. ta”

Keim's point is so accurate. Not only did he point out and guide Callum in ways that his subjectivity alone could not come up with, but by making Callum think, he was also able to give an answer in a way that pleased him. Didn't tell him the answer. Callum can only be grateful for such a comment, which is impossible for him.

"Huh, huh? Although he is ugly, his teaching ability is notoriously good. ”

"With leadership like that, I'm sure it's going to happen. I want to know more. ”

"Come to Wonderful Gym, that's all for today."

Kem may have been blunt, but somehow he was able to teach me so well in such a short period of time. Keim must have had all sorts of ideas about Callum.

"I see. Well, maybe I'll visit you somewhere. ”

"Whatever you want. Well, here you are, I'll do all sorts of things for you. ”

"You're not being honest."

"Shut up"

Shirona Sirona smiled happily, and so did Kemkaim. I don't know what kind of relationship they have, but it feels like there's some kind of connection between them.

Cam stood up and picked up Blackie. Blackie is picked up and starts rubbing Keim against his cheek, but he doesn't seem to care and turns his attention to Callum.

"It's fun, but it's late today, we should go back."

\"I'll go back first. Miss Sirona, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's battle\"

"Hehe, I'll do my best to let you enjoy it."

"Yes. See you then. ”

With that, Callum went back with Nyonicus.

Sirona looked at Kaim and asked him a question.

"You taught me very carefully."

"Really?"

"Yes. It's the first time I've seen him teach, but it's cool. And, it reminds me of the days gone by. ”

The content of Kem's guidance and mentoring was both foreign and somewhat familiar to Sirona. It's like he's done to someone before.

"Perhaps."

"Hehe, what? Are you conscious? ”

"Yes. This is based on someone's guidance. ”

"Well, that person must be happy, too." \"

"I hope so."

Sirona rested her head on Cam's shoulder, and Cam's expression didn't change. Seeing Shirona like this, Kem hugged her shoulder.

The two looked at the moonlit by the moonlight.

Looking at the casual intimacy between the two, Xiao Hei seemed to be having a good time, while Mukuhawk watched the two of them sweetly from a distance.

*

The next day, Sirona made her final preparations on the way to the arena. I hung the brace with the three balls of my choice around my waist and tied my hair up.

"It's time"

Hearing Cam's words, I turned my gaze to the venue. You can already hear the enthusiastic cheers coming from the stadium.

I took a deep breath and stood up. I already felt a feeling of euphoria fill my heart.

"Kem. Can you wear this? ”

What Sirona pulled out was a chain with Kem's blue ring and Sirona's red ring tied to it. It looks like they want to do the same as last year, and both go to fight with rings on. Of course, Kem had no reason to refuse.

"Ahh

"Thank you"

Kem took the chain and hung it around Sirona's neck with his skillful hands. Sirona combed her hair, checked his condition, and then turned to Keim, arms outstretched. Kem sensed Sirona's intentions and put his arms around Sirona. Sirona responds and hugs Kem.

“… Hey"

"Yes?"

"Can I ask you one thing?"

Kem thought for a moment, let go of Sirona, looked directly at her, and opened his mouth.

"Do your best and don't give up. Do what you can and enjoy the battle. ”

"Leave it to me"

With a brief kiss to Kem, Sirona shook her long hair and walked toward the field.

As soon as they arrived, the cheers were even louder. The heat on the field is not only the summer sunshine, but also the enthusiasm of the audience for the top matchup. The site chosen this time was a wilderness. It's an inconspicuous field, full of stones, and the skill of the trainer directly determines whether he wins or loses.

However, despite this, Bai Nai behaved unusually calmly. Neither the heat nor the cheers on the pitch affected Shirona's concentration. What Sirona saw was the field and the boy army across the field. When Jun saw Sirona, he smiled fearlessly.

"Finally ready to fight! We couldn't beat last year! ”

"This is my first battle with you."

\"Ahh I lost to Obasang last year, but I've been training hard ever since! Now I don't think I'm going to lose to anyone! \"

Straightforward and unwavering self-confidence turned into a strong will to penetrate Sirona's skin. It is not the same as light, but it is a vivid and sharp domineering. Sirona once again realized what an amazing talent children at this age are.

\"Come on, Miss Sirona! I will defeat you and put an end to your undefeated saga! That way, I will be able to challenge my dad again! \"

"Then"

At that moment, a huge amount of energy was released from Sirona's body.

"Strive to surpass it."

Haki was also instructed along with this statement. Feeling something prick his skin and push him back, Jun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. During the battle against the tower, Kuroji's color domineering is very powerful, but Sirona's color domineering is even stronger. Under this pressure, it seems that it is difficult to even breathe, but Jun has also experienced a lot of battles. I don't have the mental strength to be afraid.

"The second round of the Sinnoh League! Joon VS Sirona! The battle begins! ”

"Let's go, Mukuhawk! Let them see our power! ”

"Please, Lucario! \"

The army took out Mukuhawk, and Sirona took out Lucario. We all have the same type compatibility. Mukuhawk's trait "Intimidation" is activated, but is neutralized by Lucario's trait "Psychic Power".

Perhaps Mukuhok's infighting may not be able to withstand Lucario's durability.

Lucario is not a Pokémon with a lot of durability. So, in Mukuhawk's 'infighting', he can be killed with one blow. Jun's Mukhok's attack power is so high. Since Kem had also trained the Mukhoks, Sirona was well aware of the Mukhoks' attack power.

"Mukuhawk! Yanbei stone! ”

"Comet Punch!"

Their technologies collided and were ostracized. Due to the skill's attack power, Mukhok took some damage.

"Shadow Letter!"

“！”

Mukuhawk moves at high speed, producing countless afterimages. There were too many clones for Lucario to concentrate. However, Lucario and Sirona were not moved by this level. Lucario immediately switched his perception to waveguide sensing and determined Mukuhawk's whereabouts.

"You found it, right? New! ”

Lucario approaches Mukuhawk at super-high speed. Just as he was about to continue attacking Lucario, Mukuhawk rushed towards Lucario.

"Brave Bird!"

"Ahh Parry! ”

The body teleported, and Mukhok's 'Brave Bird' only inflicted damage that barely scratched.

His performance was expecting me to see through Ying Wenxin. Hikari-chan too, but I'll understand this level I know this, but it's not easy.

Children like Light and Jun who have entered the realm of geniuses also have a strong ability to estimate the ability of opponent trainers.

Judging from the preliminary data, Jun is not as explosive as Light, but he is good at using his Pokémon to his strengths, such as using his base strength and tough tactics to push what he wants. As a result, it is easier to read the grain, but it is more difficult to get through the interlocking threads. The type of going his own way can be said to be a strategy that contrasts sharply with Hikari and Hakuna, who change tactics according to the opponent's behavior.

\"Then I'll show you it! Lucario, stand up! \"

Lucario took the waveguide in his eyes and took a stance. The Brave Bird's attack was not over yet, and Lucario's eyes were fixed on the rushing Mukuhawk.

"You're here, Mukhok Hawk!"

With a loud shout, Mukuhawk pretended to rush towards Lucario, turning over on top of Lucario and spreading his wings.

"Feather Dance!"

Mukuhawk's soft feathers robbed Lucario of his attack. Jun thought to himself, so that the damage of the physical attack would be halved, and the Muku Eagle with low durability would be able to have fun.

Sirona's Lucario is well-trained both physically and with special skills, so it can fight at the same time. In fact, at the championship, he used a lot of special techniques against Daigo. However, the main thing is still physics. I can't let my guard down, but it's not an exaggeration to say that I stole a weapon.

"Brave Bird!"

"Comet Punch!"

Mukuhawk's charge collided with Lucario's hardened arm, and the impact reverberated throughout the field. Lucario, whose attack is reduced, is slightly pushed back and takes a small amount of damage.

Lucario leaned back slightly, opening up a bit. Jun did not miss this opportunity.

"Launch with a swallowtail!"

The two high-speed attacks made Lucario's body float slightly in the air. As a result, Lucario's footing became ineffective, leaving him defenseless for a while.

"Grab it and throw it in the air!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lucario was caught by Mukuhawk and thrown into the sky. Lucario cannot move through the air. Lucario has left a big gap and Mukuhawk is closing in on him.

"Blow it up! Infighting! ”

"Infighting" was very effective for Lucario in the steel department. Although it is Sirona's Lucario, its durability is not high. If you take it seriously, you will most likely be defeated.

However, the army here is not sure that it can win or cannot be more accurate. Lucario's gaze seemed to be watching something.

"How?"

At the same time as Mukuhawk attacked, Lucario hit Mukuhawk with a condensation wave. The force of the ruptured waveguide makes Lucario and Mukuhawk repel each other.

But Lucario remained in the air. Judging that he could pursue from here, Jun immediately attacked.

"Brave Bird!"

Lucario is under a brute force attack that ignores security. Jun's move, instinctively feeling that Lucario will also land at the same time, this is the perfect solution.

Unless the opponent is Lucario of Sirona.

The time from landing to landing of "Xinsu" is less than a tenth of a second. In a short period of time, Lucario's speed increased to top speed. And at this moment, he dodged Mukuhawk's direct attack while unleashing a series of unstoppable attacks. Both sides took damage, but Lucario avoided a direct hit, which was surprisingly low. At the same time, Lucario's attacks, although they have low attack power, do not deal much damage.

\"It's you! But those of us who have fought against Daddy will definitely be able to surpass it! Swiftlet House! \"

"Take it with a comet punch!"

He met Mukuhawk's onslaught with his hard arms. Thanks to the power of steel in my arms, I was able to minimize the damage.

Mukuhawk attacked, and Lucario was only responsible for defending. It's just a small fraction, but Mukuhawk's gap has gotten even bigger. It was in the nick of a gap that Lucario approached Mukuhawk.

"Eight Views!"

He wrapped his arm in a waveguide and fired a powerful impact at Mukuhawk's body. Lucario, whose ability to induce waveguides has become extremely high, accurately penetrates the core of Mukuhawk's body. Mukuhawk's body core was punctured, and although he didn't take any damage, he temporarily stopped moving. Although he was not paralyzed, Bai Nai did not miss this defenseless moment.

"Fighting!"

Lucario's successive attacks hit Mukuhawk. Despite taking a lot of damage, Lucario's attack power is reduced by "Dance of Feathers". Mukhok Hawk barely held on.

"We haven't lost yet! Mukuhawk! Brave birds! ”

"Comet Punch!"

The "Brave Bird" collided with the "Comet Fist", and the shock wave spread. It looked like they were going to swap again, but Mukuhawk shifted his attack point slightly, and Lucario was able to attack Lucario even while receiving his comet punch. Although the power has been reduced, it is still enough to deal damage to Lucario.

However, Lucario, although he was hurt, did not lose his stance. His well-trained core was not destroyed by the lack of strength of Brave Bird.

"Not yet! Yanmei\"

"This is the final blow. Bullet punch! ”

A swift bullet-like fist pierced Mukuhawk with a step, and then the "swallow knife" came out. This 'bullet punch' wiped out Mukuhawk's remaining health and knocked him out completely.

"Mukhok can't fight!"

"! Are you serious? ”

Jun stomped his feet in frustration. If you just look at the results, it seems that Shirona won by a landslide, but Lucario did a lot of damage. Since Lucario breathes through his shoulder, I can see from the sidelines that he's wearing a lot.

"Sure enough, you're very strong."

Stick to your own path. It's easy to say, but there are very few trainers who can stay the course. This is because your moves will always match your opponent at some point. Of course, this is not a bad thing in itself, but a very normal thing. Even top trainers like Sirona.

However, Jun is at least able to adapt to his opponent's moves while using Mukuhawk's high attack power and speed, which are his strengths. It's a real push-and-shove tactic where you force yourself to do everything you want before getting used to your opponent's moves. It looks like a brain muscle, but in fact it is a brain muscle, but if a monarch trainer does this, most trainers will be defeated. Perhaps, someone who is less powerful than the director of the gym can win with this alone.

However, this is not the case for a top trainer like Sirona. Any approach has its weaknesses. Even though this may be overshadowed by a strong push, things won't go as smoothly as usual against a trainer as strong and deep as Sirona.

"Not yet! This is our fight! We won't lose until we challenge Dad next time! Let's go, Snorax! ”

Jun shouted as he unleashed Canolax.

Looking at such a handsome, Bai Nai exhaled lightly, his eyes became sharp, and he smiled slightly.

"He's a great talent. But he's still young. ”

The next moment, a strong domineering aura was released from Bai Nai's body, and its intensity was so strong that even Kem, who was watching at the entrance of the venue, could see it, let alone Jun.

"First of all, you need to understand how big the world is."

Jun trembled at Sirona's ambitions, but he imagined his father's back, his goal, and reaffirmed his purpose, and the fire in his heart burned even stronger.

"Dothoth! Gihinda! ”

The shockwave unleashed by Dothoth pierced through Milo Carlos. Although it held up well, Milo Carlos declined due to poor type compatibility.

"Milolox can't fight!"

"Yes! What else! ”

"Thank you for your hard work, Milo Carlos. It was a great move. ”

Shirona worked hard while getting Milocaros back.

Only sixty percent of the power of Dothoth remained. Although it is a type mismatch, by remembering the 'Spirit Diagram Beam', it is still possible to reduce Dototh's physical strength a lot. Still, as you'd expect from a contestant, his ability to deal with the underdogs is top-notch.

"Well, there's only one left. Come on, Polygon Z! ”

Sirona chose Polygon Z. While it is a relative newcomer to Sirona's inventory, its firepower is top-of-the-line in Sirona's inventory. Although there are a lot of strange moves, the precision of the moves is extremely high, so it is sometimes used in battle instead of Gabriel as an ace.

"Let's go, Dothoth! We've come this far! We're going to win, challenge Dad! Zhixin! \"

"Chuan Di Dong!"

Neutralize the shock wave of up to Toth with "electric two winds". Taking advantage of this short time in the air, Polygon Z took a step further.

"Reflector."

A "reflector" is deployed around Polygon Z. This reinforces Polygon Z's weakness in terms of physical defense.

"It's okay! I'll try! Shi Feng! ”

A rock blade extends towards polygon Z. Polygon Z could not dodge and took advantage of the deployment of the "reflector" to open fire on it. But due to the effect of the "Reflector", the damage is halved. It didn't cause much damage.

"Shadow Ball!"

Take a passive stance in the air and constantly release the "Shadow Ball". Dototh immediately intercepted the attack with a "wooden hammer", but could not shoot them all down. I was hit a few times and my stamina dropped.

"Damn! Wooden hammer! ”

“！”

However, instead of flinching in the face of the attack, Dototh approached Polygon Z. Although Dodtoth is not very fast, his consecutive attacks create a large gap in Polygon Z, giving Dodtoth time to get closer.

A huge wooden warhammer slammed into Polygon Z. Even with the 'Reflector', its underlying physical defenses are fragile. My stamina suddenly dropped and the situation was reversed.

However, to this extent, Bai Nai has not yet felt uneasy. Due to the side effects of 'Winterden', he was able to stay in the air, and when he sensed that Polygon Z was quickly regaining its position in the air, he immediately gave the order.

"Leto Beam!"

"It's Iron Tail!"

It deflects a bundle of cold air with its hard tail. However, despite being bounced off, Polygon Z's attack has a very high special attack. The damage is not small.

Ever since Polygon Z memorized the "Aura Beam", it immediately became clear to the army that long-term combat was impossible. Even though he was confident in his endurance, he immediately decided that if he continued like this, he would be forced through, so he moved.

"Shi Feng!"

With a roar, the Rock Blade aimed at Poligon Z. Due to the poor accuracy of the technology itself, Polygon Z dodges the "edge of the stone" by making good use of "worthy fuyuu". Bai Nai couldn't help but laugh, she felt that if she was hit directly, she would be in trouble or fail.

"This air! That's amazing! ”

The conflict between each other's ambitions and maintenance creates a tense atmosphere. It was Shirona's favorite time as a trainer.

While dodging the "stone blade" with a thin line, you can take advantage of the opportunity to attack. This is exactly how Shirona can turn things around.

That's what you think!? You're on target!

However, all this developed as the army had hoped.

Polygon Z tries to dodge the attack, but his dodge action suddenly stops. There was a stone wall in front of me.

"Stone Edge Wall!"

"There is no escape! Kill me, Dothoth! ”

The reason why the army constantly attacks Polygon Z with the "stone blade" is to make it look almost impossible to dodge. Since the accuracy is worse than before, it's easy to mistakenly think that it can be avoided. Using this prerequisite, they cornered Polygon Z.

Even if it was just for a moment, I couldn't avoid it because I stopped. If this all-out attack lands, Polygon Z will fall.

"Let's go! Ghijahn"

Just as Dototh was about to unleash the full force of the Gigabit Shock, he saw Sirona's face. The sparkle in his eyes was not impatience, but a fighting spirit.

As soon as Jun saw this scene, he immediately felt something. Then I realized that I was being pushed in the opposite direction.

Polygon Z

Polygon Z, which should have been cornered, felt a huge amount of energy accumulating. The condensed energy was released towards Dodas Itos at once.

"Super Beam!"

"Wooden hammer!"

Among the skills they have, the blow that unleashes the highest firepower. The Giant Wood Warhammer collided with the Doom Blow, and the entire field exploded.

"Ahh

Jun involuntarily closed his eyes in shock. Bai Nai, on the other hand, ignored the dust and stared straight at the field.

When the smoke cleared, Dototh and Poligonz fell to the ground, the latter still moving like a broken machine.

"Dothothos can't fight! So, this battle is a victory for Sirona! ”

Hearing the cheers, Bai Nai took a deep breath. The tension was gone, and I wiped the sweat pouring out of my face as I put Polygon Z back on the ball. Then, as if disappointed by the defeat, he walked up to the stomping army.

"What the hell! I'm losing again! ”

"Thank you for a good fight, Jun-kun. You are strong. ”

\"Damn! I'm so depressed! I'm going to defeat Miss Sirona and challenge my dad again! \"

Never forget your goals. This is very virtuous. Shirona herself is positive about this, but at the same time she feels that it is dangerous.

"Junjun, I think it's great that you have such a goal. However, if you don't look at your opponent while fighting, you may be seen as disrespectful and look down on your opponent. I think it's better not to say too much. ”

"Huh? Is that so? I don't look down on you, though! ”

"I know. But it's good to remember that there are such people too. You can avoid any weird hassles. ”

"Well, I'll be careful later."

"That's good."

As he spoke, Baekna stretched out his hand to Joon. Jun looked a little embarrassed, but he still took Sirona's hand and shook it.

"Thank you, Miss Sirona. Although I was disappointed to lose, I felt closer to my dad again. \"

"Yes, use this defeat as motivation to move closer to your goal. I'm sure you can do it. ”

\"Yes, one day I will become a trainer who surpasses Miss Shirona and Daddy! Get your feet wet! ”

Jun's eyes flashed with fighting spirit, and he was looking at Sirona. Seeing such a hopeful glow, Sirona suddenly let go of her mouth.

"Of course. I would take it anytime. ”

"I told you! If you lie, you'll be fined! ”

After saying that, the two returned to the gate where they had just entered. While listening to cheers from the best playgrounds.

When Sirona returns to the backyard from the gate, Kem is waiting for her.

"Well done."

"Thank you"

I took the towel from Kem and wiped the sweat dripping from it. Maybe it was the reaction of exerting all my strength, and I started to feel tired. When you drink water directly from the bottle, you will feel the icy cold water flowing through your body.

"Is it strong?"

"Yes, but it's still in development and there's room for growth."

"I'm envious."

At that age, he had the ability to do so. It will continue to grow in the future. Keim, who was watching from the sidelines, understood this.

"Why don't you train me?"

"Yes, he's the type I can't control, and no matter what I do, he's going to get stronger on his own."

"Hehe, by the way, that girl doesn't seem to be listening to you."

Sirona smiled and handed the towel to Kem. Kem took it and held out his hand. Shirona, unsure of Cam's intentions, took his hand, but Cam grimaced when she saw her.

"Nope. I'll bring you the Pokémon Center so you can give me the ball. ”

"Ah, here you are."

Sirona said as if she understood, but didn't try to let go of Kaim's hand. Instead, he hugged her tightly.

“… Hey"

"Is that okay? Rush until you're out of the backyard. ”

“… Do what you want."

Although Kem sighed inwardly, thinking that he was unlikely to hear this, he grabbed Sirona's hand again.

Afterward, the staff saw Sirona coming out of the backyard in a good mood, but only a few knew why.
