Chapter 246: The Battle of Expectations

The two happily called out the children, who were probably novice Pokémon sent by the professor and others. I'm sure he'll look up his buddies in the Pokédex, but it's also the first time I've seen it in the Pokédex, and I wanted to try it, so I kept it.

"Skobani. Bunny Pokémon. Fire type.

As you run and raise your body temperature, fire energy circulates around your body, allowing you to unleash true power. ”

Load the Pokémon brought out by Yuri, then head to the Pokémon brought out by Hope.

"Ape Cult." \"Little Pokémon. Grass type.

Attack by repeatedly hitting the stick. When you hit the ball at a blistering speed, the tension will increase more and more. ”

"Both Hinashi and Ape Keo are good Pokémon. Their location is probably what we call Hikoko and Knightler, right? I'm also curious about the properties of water."

I don't know if the two of them will get stronger over time. I was also impressed with the ease of use of the new encyclopedia, and while I can't say I was as confident as the other two, I was excited and did a lot of things. Give it a try. After all, it's really fun and exciting to be able to do something new.

\"If it's a water-type Pokémon, you've probably seen it already, right?" \"

“?”

Dander said as he threw out a monster ball, and a Pokémon jumped out of it

"Oops"

My vision turned light blue.

\"Woooooo Mason!? \"

"Method!!"

When I succeeded in peeling off what was sticking to my face and seeing the real person, Mason, whom I rescued in the Sleeping Forest, happily answered me. I thought he was shaking because of the lack of poke ref, but I wonder if he's okay

"Ahaha, when I came to Mason, I found out that you like Freya-kun very much. \"

"I—Is that so? I thought you were going to hate me because I couldn't take care of you, even though I was really scared"

"It's not that I hate you, but I really miss the way you kindly saved me in the sleeping forest. So I couldn't erase it from your mind right then, right? ”

"That's what it means"

I remembered the story of the Sleeping Forest that Miss Sonia and Miss Dander had told me.

When I told Mason he was going back, he didn't move at all. The monster ball finally returns after being hit by the returning laser, but even so, it is still shaking. I think it can be seen that it wasn't because she was scared, but because she didn't want to leave me and felt the trembling of protest. I hope I'm not conceited

"Thank you, Mason."

"Mesomeso!!"

Mason was so cute, he smiled and stroked my cheek and I couldn't help but keep stroking him. Whenever Mason's face relaxes with joy, I can't help but touch him

"Hahaha, it seems that the two of you are still a good match. I wanted to say this in the Sleeping Forest, but I wanted to entrust Mason to you. Are you willing to accept it? \"? ”

"Uh, is that okay? Even if there is an outsider like me."

"I hope you receive this because you have been able to deepen our connection to such an extent in such a short period of time, even though you should be an outsider."

When Dandsand told me, I made eye contact with Mason again. Her big, round eyes were cute, but she was looking at me with unwavering determination.

"Mason. Would you like to come with me? ”

"Madhyamaka!!"

Be sure to communicate your intentions firmly with your eyes and heart. Mason was overjoyed that he had accommodated my request.

"Thank you, Mason!!"

Hold me tight and feel a new connection.

This is the first Pokémon I became friends with in the Galel region.

"Fria-kun, here's Mason's ball. From now on, Mason is your Pokémon! \"

Hearing Mr. Dande's words, I tilted my head and pointed the illustrated book at Mason.

"Mason. Water and lizard Pokémon. Water type.

When the skin gets wet, the color changes. You become invisible, as if you were disguised. ”

"We'll work together!!"

"Mesomeso!!"

They press their palms together and make a pleasant sound. It was like a signal that my adventure in this Galel region was about to begin.

\"So, let's talk first, take a break, Freya-kun, let's go. \"

"I see, I can't keep Professor Mulan waiting too long."

Afterwards, Miss Sonia chatted and prepared a slightly late lunch for us, and after a short rest, Miss Dander and I thought it would be better to finish something first, so we got up from our seats.

“? Are Annicky and Freya going to Professor Mulan's house? ”

"Yes, when I contacted Dr. Mulan, she said it would be better for you to bring it directly to my house."

"Then can we go together? Now that we've come this far, we want to accompany you to the end. ”

"Me too!! I would like to thank you for helping me and I am also curious about the details of your business!! ”

"Me too, as your assistant, I have to show you the way, so I'll follow you."

Everyone else followed us and got up from their seats. This means that we will all be heading to our next destination again. It's okay as a trip because it's fun, but I don't know if it's okay for so many people to come to my house?

"It's okay, Grandma's house is really big, and I'm sure she'll be looking forward to talking to an honest kid like you. She didn't seem to like talking to me very much. But "

“?”

"No, nothing."

I feel like Miss Sonia is whispering something, okay, if you say nothing, it's probably nothing. Does that mean we can all disturb you for the time being? In that case, I will take your word for it

"Then let's all go."

"Oh~!!" “

Amid everyone's cheers and cheers, we left the institute and headed for Route 2.

As the sun was about to set, we left the institute and headed for Route 2. Compared to Line 1, it looks a little cooler and more dazzling because you can see the river and the pond. We chatted as we walked, listening to the soothing sound of water as background music. Along the way, Jump falls in love with the cough chip, Dan Desang teaches how to catch it, and Yuri fights the trainer on Road 2 to gain experience points. Me too

"Mason, Water Depp!!"

"Method!!"

"Oh, thatch worms!?"

Mason's water hits the Tutch Worm and knocks him out.

"That's it! Winner, Mason!! ”

"Good Mason!!"

"Mesomeso!!"

After the referee spoke sharply, Maeson high-fived him and climbed on top of his head. He only took Oren as a reward, and rushed to his opponent's side while admiring it.

"Thank you for the fight."

"Hello. Your message is strong. ”

"Thank you. Here's your thatch! This is the vitality fragments and scratch shine. Use it if you want. ”

"Thank you, I won't lose the next battle!!"

"So be it! Let's do it again. ”

We shook hands and said goodbye. If our eyes meet, it's a Pokémon battle. When the battle was over, we were all friends. This is Pokémon Battle!

"Thank you for your efforts, maybe it's the difference in experience, but you're really strong, Freya."

"Thank you, Yongli. Because Mason works hard. Right? ”

"Meso!"

"We got along very well. It's hard to believe that we only met today. ”

\"If that's the case, aren't Yongli and Nikka the same? \"

"Bunny!"

The rabbit grabs you tightly by the shoulder and happily greets you. Even from the side, they get along so well that it makes people smile, and even when you say they only met yesterday, you can't believe it, it feels like they are our best friends.

"He's perfect in the fights and I think one day he'll be a real big guy."

"That's not true, but, yes. I hope I can get used to it."

Yuri muttered something like this as he stroked Sunflower. Those longing eyes were like the eyes we used to have, and I felt close.

"Yuri! Filia! You see, I've finally caught a cockroach!! ”

"Oh, congratulations!"

"Good for you, Hope."

"Hey! This was the first step of my dream!! ”

A small flock of bluebirds flies energetically around the hops. According to the encyclopedia, this appears to be a pre-evolutionary version of the armor ga, which was responsible for transporting that taxi. I thought of the ferocity and power that attacked me in the sleeping forest. It looks like he's sure to be a strong kid. They are still happily flying around in the jumps and look friendly, so the combo will look powerful.

"Aren't you two going to grab something?"

"Am I okay?"

"I wonder if I'm okay?"

"Now that I think about it, Freya has been touring the Sinnoh region, so I'm guessing you have anything else, right? What kind of do you have? \"

"I might be interested too."

Both of them looked at me expectantly

"Sorry, there are some, but according to the regulations of the Galel region, I can't bring in children who haven't been confirmed in this area and one day I'll introduce them all to everyone. \"”。

"Then I can't help it"

"Too bad but not everybody, right?"

"yes, I brought one because it doesn't break the rules, do you want to see it?"

"I want to see it!!" ”

"Oh, oh"

I couldn't help but flinch when he looked at me with such sparkling eyes full of pressure and anticipation, but it was something I should be proud of. I'm really happy to be looking forward to it, and I'm sure this kid will be excited as well. I touched the ball of the stand with my finger and immediately showed it to you

"Hey, you three~ I'm going to your grandma's house soon, hurry up~"

"See you next time."

””

"I'm sorry."

His hips trembled with displeasure.

Sorry, sorry. Really, it's just not the right timing.

I don't mean to spoil, but the timing of releasing something wasn't perfect. Well, next time I'll go for a walk or do something to relieve stress.

I was called by Sonia to a very nice house. Depending on how you look at it, it may look as big as the institute, or even bigger. The house also has a battle court attached to it, giving it the feel of a mansion.

"This is your grandmother's house, the doorbell is ringing."

It will make a rumbling sound that tells the person inside that you are a visitor.

"Yes, yes, I'll leave now."

A woman's voice came from inside, and the door slowly opened. Among them, a woman wearing a white coat and monocles appears, holding a cane with a Pokémon shaped like an adult Kogaro.

This person is Dr. Mulan

\"You're Freya-kun. I heard your story from Dr. Rowan. \"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Freya. I came to deliver the package at the request of Dr. Rowan. ”

I took my things out of the backpack I was carrying and handed them over gently. It could be mine, but I've been handling it with care so it's not damaged or should be

"Yes, I did receive it. Thank you for coming all the way, you must be tired, right? ”

"No, I have some good people to guide me."

Yes, I did get tired of traveling, but the stories of Jump, Yuri, Dande - and Sonia - were very interesting, I listened to them tell stories, played with them, met new Pokémon, I had a lot of fun and my fatigue disappeared completely. Disappeared .. My experience here has been very rich, so I'm glad I came.

"Grandma, what the hell is that?"

"This is what I asked Professor Rowan to do. I think this might be helpful for the study of the Galal particle. Now that I've finished my Toyon Tokushin research, I'm going to Tobari. That's why I got it from the doctor. Rowan . I hope this will lead to further progress on the phenomenon of strong momentum"

"The Demomax phenomenon?"

\"Ah, Freya-san, you don't know. Since you are from the Sinnoh region, it is understandable. \"

I tilted my head when I heard an unfamiliar word, but everyone else knew it except me, so I guess this is typical of Galel.

"The phenomenon of Extreme Giantization is the phenomenon of Pokémon becoming huge, a phenomenon that has only been found in the Galel region so far. In order to cause this phenomenon, galel particles are needed, and the location is limited. However, this is closely related to meteorites and meteors. ”

I see, that's why it's called Tokusashi and Tobari City. \"

"That's it."

````````? ''''''

This time, everyone but me was surprised by my words.

"When I was a child, I traveled with my family to the Hoenn area, where there is a space center called Tokuzo City. They're working on meteorites and stuff like that. The city of Tobari in the Sinnoh region was surrounded by stones. What happened was amazing when a meteorite landed around you in the city where you lived. If the Galal particle is associated with meteorites and meteors, I think it's only natural that your research should focus on that. ”

''''''I see''''''

However, what does it feel like to make a Pokémon huge with Galel particles and strong power?

"As for the strong power, it will actually be faster to see it."

After that, Dr. Mulan showed me a video. Mr. Dande and another man were fighting in what looked like a stadium. Dandesang and his opponent each released a Pokémon, but suddenly they both put their Pokémon back into the ball. At this moment, the aura glowed red, and the light emitted by the aura was absorbed by the monster ball, causing the monster ball to suddenly grow larger.

The two men throw an enlarged monster ball into the air. The moment the Demon Ball opened its mouth in the air, a giant Pokémon appeared with a dark red cloud floating overhead. On one side, Charizard's wings turn into flames and burst into flames. One is a Pokémon, which looks like a giant structure and looks like it's about to burst into the sky.

A powerful battle unfolds, like a giant monster war.

"Wow, that's a strong drive"

"In this Galel region, the competition is even more exciting than in other regions by incorporating strong momentum into gym battles and tournaments."

"Because of its ornate appearance, it often attracts attention from other regions as well."

"I don't know"

I watched the screen as I listened to Miss Dander and Miss Sonia's explanations.

Just by watching the big skill showdown, I could feel the excitement and feel a warm feeling in my heart.

"Can anyone do it?"

"If you have a strong power band, anyone can do that by going to a specific place. You can get or buy bands by going to gyms, rose towers, etc. Some of them were chosen by fate. It seems that some people directly got the wish wart that fell from the sky. ”

"Wish you had a warbler?"

"This is the red meteor that sometimes falls in the Galel area. But it's very rare. \"

"Hey, do you mean that?"

““?” ”

When I heard that the wart was falling from the sky, I looked up at the sky, and before I knew it, a red line crossed the red sky. The line came straight towards us

"Gadfly!?"

Or rather, it flew to me.

I didn't get hit because I jumped backwards in a hurry, but no, it was pretty fast, about the size of a fist In fact, a medium-sized crater had formed where I was now.

If I thought I was going to hit it, I would be scared

"It's amazing! It's a wishing wart! And it's three! Let's share it with the three of us!! ”

"Uh, Freya, are you okay? \"

"yes, it's okay Hope, are you too strong?"

"Ahaha"

Although this is said to be rare in the region, it can be quite common. This is what we usually call "rare". I wasn't hurt myself and everyone was safe, so I guess that's a good thing. It seems to be rare to get a wart directly, so it's not a good idea to splash water on someone who is happy.

"If you have three, I'll make strong dynamic bands for everyone."

"Really!?"

"Are you okay?"

"It doesn't take much effort to do it, so it doesn't matter."

"So, keep your word!!"

Dr. Magnolia smiled and accepted Jump and my questions. Yongli also said happily, I think it was a good experience after all.

"I received a letter of recommendation from my big brother and now I can get a strong power band. Now, Yongli and I are fully prepared for the gym challenge!! ”

"There is another word in Off that I don't know"

Just by visiting Dr. Mulan's home, more and more words are being added to the dictionary in my head and I'm still managing things because they're all easy to remember, but if I come across a difficult word, I feel as if I'm going to be sad.

"The Gym Challenge is a tournament-like event held in the Galar region, so wouldn't it be easier to understand that it would be called a league in your region?" \"

"In my area, there is a tournament that you can participate in by collecting eight gym badges, and you must enter during the recruitment period. The top few in that league will get the right to challenge the four kings. "And the championship. Well, if you beat everyone and it feels like you're going to be crowned the new champion, what's the difference? ”

"Here, we have a period of collecting gym badges, and during this time, we hold tournaments between those who collect 8 badges, and the winner will participate in a tournament in which only the gym leader and champion participate, and become the champion. Me: "My goal is the throne, and the Four Heavenly Kings are not in this area. ”

"The leaders of the gym are also involved in the succession of the champion, and surprisingly, they are more stoic than other regions, and even the leaders of the gym are competitors."

When it comes to gym curators, I have the impression that they are more of a testing ground, so I can't imagine that the goal of a gym curator is to become a champion.

"There are many elements that are not available in other regions, such as the top eight of the gym leader are large, and those below it are secondary, and you can't participate in the gym challenge without conditions." A letter of recommendation. ”

"I see, wait, can't you go to the gym without a letter of recommendation?"

"I don't think so."

"I see"

I was going to go to the gym after finishing my errand in Galel, but I couldn't go to the gym without receiving a letter of recommendation, so I didn't even dare to try the gym

"I was going to go to the gym after the birth, did you find Yongli and Hope?"

\"yes. We have received it from Mr. Dande. \"

"Aniky, can't you prepare something for Filia?"

"Unfortunately, there is a limit to the number of letters of recommendation a person can send, so I had to apply for a letter of recommendation The opening ceremony of the Gym Challenge was the day after tomorrow. I'm too late to apply now. Philia: If you know a celebrity and can write a letter of recommendation right away, that's a different story

Mr. Dander bowed his head and said this to me, but from his tone, I felt that it was better to give up this time. The only celebrity I know is Shirona

"By the way"

Before coming here, I got an envelope from Miss Sirona, and I remembered. As I rummaged through my backpack, I found the envelope I received that day. I opened it to see what was inside and wondered if that was possible.

"Dande, can people from other regions also submit letters of recommendation?" \"

“? Ah, it is also possible that the frontier people sometimes write about the four heavenly kings, champions, and hall masters in other regions, but there are not many people who do so. ”

"Can I use this then?"

"What is this!? I see, I have no complaints about it. I feel like I can participate in the gym challenge. ”

"Hooray!"

I can't help but feel frustrated by Dandesang's permission. Time out. I am now convinced that this is what Miss Sirona said at that time. Shirona must have foreseen this happening, so she gave me a letter of recommendation.

"I didn't expect to receive a letter of recommendation from a Sinnoh champion. She thinks it's worth writing about, which shows that you're a great trainer too. I'm looking forward to your gym challenge!! ”

\"From the Sinnoh Champion!? All in all, great, Frya!! Now the three of us can aim for the championship!! \"

"We also have a letter of recommendation for a champion, but Freya also has a letter of recommendation for a champion, is Freya actually a great person?"

"Oh, isn't that true?"

Dandesan's anticipation, Hope's joy, Yongli's slightly skeptical gaze, and the sudden attack of emotions made me cringe. Expectation and joy are happiness. but

Yes. I'm not a great person.

If he were a great man, he would definitely stand by the side of brilliance. That's why I'm going to grow up to stand by your side on this gym journey.

I clenched my fists and made up my mind again.

"Then let's stay at home today, take a break, and then go to the gym to challenge."

"Then I'll go prepare dinner, don't worry."

With that, Miss Sonia and Dr. Mulan walked inside. While expressing our gratitude for these words, we decided to follow Him and take care of Him.

Now, the gym challenge. Only those who are referred can participate, which means that as long as you participate, you are strong. I'm afraid there will be even more difficult battles than in the Sinnoh region. Ordinary people don't suffer there.

I'm a little scared, but let's do my best!

I was at Dr. Mulan's house eating Sonya's curry and thinking about the battle ahead. The little curry I tasted at that time made my tongue tingle.

My consciousness was drawn to the bed, which was softer and fluffier than I usually slept on, and I found that I woke up slower than usual. One of the reasons could be that I was more tired than expected during the trip, although this is usually when I wake up with my eyes open.

Although I slept on the plane for a while

In fact, I want you to compliment me on not experiencing jet lag on my first trip in a while, but that's still not a good reason to be sleepy. but

There are only 30 minutes left

I buried my face in the futon, still gurgling.

\"Freya-kun~\"If you don't wake up early, everyone will be waiting for you. ”

When I heard Sonya's voice coming from downstairs, my consciousness was pulled back to reality, but I was soon brought back to my dreams. I tried to immerse myself in fluffy and happy times again

"Big, angry, angry!!"

The futon was completely torn off. As the warmth wore off, the slightly irritating wind of the relatively cold Galel region blew into my body and made me shiver. Sure enough, I couldn't sleep like this, so I forced myself to wake up.

"Good morning, thank you"

\"You look really cute like this or Fria-san, are you really sensitive to the morning?" \"

"That's one thing, but I was so tired from the journey yesterday."

\"I forgot, because I was so nervous yesterday, but now that I think about it, it was yesterday that Fria Jun came to Galel, and I had to force myself to wake her up, but if it still hurts, do you want to take a break?" "A little longer? ”

"No, I'll try to wake up"

It's true that I'm still sleepy, but since I went to bed early yesterday, my fatigue has decreased a lot and I have recovered. I think it's just a little jet lag. Also, when I talked about it before going to bed last night, Jump and Yuri were supposed to go to the gymnastics challenge yesterday as soon as they got the picture book, but they ended up running errands with me, so they were late, and it has become an action.

Since the opening ceremony is tomorrow, I would like to go early today to make amends or apologize. I said, "Can I leave first?" "But Jump and Yuri have been together so far, and we've become good friends, so they want to go with me, so they said they'd wait for me. Both of them are so kind, I can't stand it. By the way, Mr. Dander is no longer in this house, and it seems that he is going to Engine City, where the ceremony will be held in advance to prepare for the opening ceremony of tomorrow's Dao Challenge.

"Then I'll get out of the car first, you don't have to be in such a hurry, take your time."

Watching the door slam shut, I rubbed my sleepy eyes, washed my face, and walked towards the place where I had changed. Dark blue pants, white shirt, and slightly darker gray sweatshirt hoodie. I wrapped it in a red hat and a light blue scarf, and my usual look was done. My hat and scarf are still indoors, so I still have them in my hand.

"Wow, I'm still sleepy."

I thought you'd be in the mood, but you're still a little sleepy. However, I didn't want her to wait long, so I went down to the first floor. The smell of breakfast coming from downstairs drew me into the living room. Everyone else had already started eating, so I sat next to them, folded my hands and started eating. Breakfast was made by Sonia with toast, onion soup, scrambled eggs. It's delicious, but not heavy. It's so gentle for me who doesn't like mornings.

"Hey, Freea, good morning."

"Good morning, Fria. You look sleepy. ”

"Good morning, Hope, Yongli I'm sleepy"

I yawned again and began to eat breakfast. Dr. Mulan and Sonia will also be watching, but I can't help but feel sleepy, so please forgive me. Are you sure you're hiding your mouth?

"Sinnoh is a long way from here, and there is a jet lag, so I guess he should be tired."

"Come to think of it, I often come alone, I must be very tired."

"It's true, but I didn't expect the jet lag to be so bad"

Maybe it's different, but I can't explain why it's dragged on for so long well, rabbit and horn

"I wish something would wake me up"

\"How to wake up then, Freya!!!" \"

“? What? ”

"With this, you can wake up with one blow!!"

I tilted my head in front of Hope's big smile and tentatively asked him to continue. Hope came up with something

"You can only use one for this battle, are you all ready?"

"I don't know why we haven't fought yet!! I'm looking forward to playing against Freya's Pokémon!! ”

"It's definitely a blow and I also want to fight with Jump, I'm excited!!"

The location is the battle courtroom in the garden of Professor Mulan's house. Hope and I were on either side.

We've reached our goal, and when we wake up after rough healing and play Pokémon Battle, my eyes are clearer than ever. However, he didn't think that the story was over, but that his mind had changed and that the real thing was about to begin.

Although we have fought several battles in the Galel area, as I said earlier, we have never fought a single battle. Because he had been watching the fights of other people on Route 2 and did not have many opportunities to fight. And the impressions I observed.

Definitely a strong one

Of course, because I just received a Pokémon, I don't have experience yet. However, I have already seen that he has a good taste in the choice of techniques, the breadth of his vision, and the judgment of the situation.

It seems that one day it will become a big deal.

I don't lie about what Yongli said. These two people give me a bit of a feeling like Kem. That's why I want to fight. Of course, I'll fight Yuri next time.

"Okay"

"Let's go!!"

Either way, let's focus on the game in front of you!!

Pokémon trainer jumps

I've already started fighting!

"Let's go, Arunori!!"

"Let's go, Mason!!"

"Gollum!!"

"Madhyamaka!!"

Sarnori and Mason jumped out energetically. I'm at a disadvantage when it comes to type compatibility, but that's where I can show my experience and skills. I had no choice but to do my best.

"First of all, let's see how prepared you are!! Ape Cult, 'Scrape'!! ”

A monkey runs straight forward. Mason's hands sparkled with paws in and his body trembled slightly.

"It's okay, take a closer look at each other and attract them."

"Madhyamaka!"

The tremors on Mason's body disappeared, and with my words, his body calmed down. Sanori, who had closed the distance with Mason, who believed in my instructions and stood firm, waved his paws.

"Now! Take a step back. ”

"Madhyamaka!"

"What!?"

With a shake of his nails, Mason took a step back as instructed. The claws passed through where Mason's head had been, filling Sarnori's body with gaps.

"'Harto'!!"

"Madhyamaka!"

\"Luki!? \"

Starting from its front legs, it spins sideways and flicks the monkey's cheek with its tail to knock the monkey flying. The ape was beaten back to its original position, barely passive, but with a look of shock on his face. Now, this is the first blow.

"It's amazing, Freya. You have a good grasp of the distance between yourself and your opponent. \"

"Only Mason's speed is possible."

Hearing my words, Mason nodded proudly, while the ape looked frustrated. But the battle is yet to come.

"Ape Sect, 'grab' again! This time instead of using a big attack, use a small and fast combo attack!! ”

He learned the lessons of his previous counterattack and used the next move. His learning ability and reflexes are also far superior to those of the two-way trainers.

Mason dodged Sarnori who lunged on him again, but unlike before, he didn't have a chance to counter with "Futaku". If it goes on like this, I'll get hit, so I fly back and pull away. The Ape Cult saw this landing as an opportunity and took action.

"'Water Iron Cannon'!"

Squirt water into Sarunori's face. Hit the ape cult who leaned forward, causing the ape cult's entire body to stop. However, the opponent is grass. Guanghua couldn't help but force her way through the wall and ran towards him. And this time, Sarnori's paws grabbed Messon.

"Well, anyway, a shot."

"He's going to break through, it's going to be a great power struggle."

Although the grades were not good enough, I didn't think I would be eliminated.

Even if the type matches well, in that case, let's take a different plan.

"Scatter the 'Water and Iron Cannon' on the ground!"

Water is sparsely sprinkled on the ground and puddles are formed at key points.

"What exactly do you want to do?" But what we do will not change! Ape Dian, 'scratch' it like before! ”

"Jump to the right!"

Plum Song flew away from Sanori, who had run three laps. Saruki further catches up with the flight destination. After jumping a few times to dodge the attack, to the right again, this time to the left, now skip it and you will land in a puddle of water between the flying Sanori and the Plum Song. Do it now!

"Mason, there's a drop of water in the puddle in front of me!"

"What!?"

Splash the water firmly into the puddle and unfold the splash curtain. Visibility from Sanori and Hope was obscured by the mist.

"'Nagi Yue'!"

"Madhyamaka!!"

"Squeak!?"

"It's okay, Ape Ki. It's just a threat!! Now I know where you are. 'Catch' to the right! ”

A cry that has the effect of reducing the opponent's attack damage. Due to the loud sound, the scraping sound was not as strong as it used to be. Maesson was no longer in the direction where the screams came from, and before he knew it, he was behind Sarnori.

"'Harto'!"

There was a crackling sound, and the ape was blown away from the mist. Waiting for the wind to blow away the fog, Sanori lay on the ground, and Mason who shook off his palm.

"It's amazing to use 'Cry' to hide your location and lower Sarnori's attack, then swing your attack to hit the gap, you can do it in a split second"

"Still not like that! Can Hope and Sanori still do it? ”

"Of course!"

Saruki stood up energetically, pulled out the wooden stick stuck in his head, and knocked on the ground to encourage himself. I've only hit it twice. Unless you attack it more firmly, it probably won't fall.

"This time is this time!" Scratch'! ”

The ape thins out as it flies around, but it doesn't sink into puddles.

Assuming this strategy no longer works, the only way to deal damage here is to use Mason's high mobility to counterattack.

First, we flew back and looked for an opportunity for the next attack. when

"I finally knew when to fly backwards. Arunori, it's time to go one step further!! ”

“!?”

Seeing Mei Song flying backwards while grabbing, he stopped grabbing and took another step forward. You can't avoid it because you're in the air!

"Don't miss the opportunity, you won't miss it!!' Branches'!! ”

The stick in Sarnori's hand turned green and grew a little longer. It's definitely a grass attack. If you can't intercept or dodge, at least reduce the damage!

Although Mason instructed Whisper to further weaken Sanori's firepower, Azuki himself was directly knocked away. Somehow, he managed to land in the air, but Mason's expression was a little distorted. If it weren't for the screams, he might not have been able to fight at all. The weakness of the plum pine is the lack of durability despite its great mobility. I would like to lower the firepower here and make a little more noise

"It's the first time I've seen someone use 'cry' effectively, but I'm not going to let you do it again! Ape Cult, 'First Time'! ”

Did he always remember?

Wholesalers won't sell it. Mason is trapped on the butterfly and can no longer use the Variation Technique. Even so, I can't eat it last month.

\"I'll shoot you again!! Ape Cult "Edatsuki"!! \"

This time, it will scratch you and aim directly at you without any guidance. Mason, who was attacked with such a powerful attack, needed another breath to move, probably because of the damage. It's hard to avoid. And then

"Get in, Mason!!"

"Huh!?"

Messon also began to run towards Sarnori. Hope was surprised by the sudden change in behavior, as he had so far focused on avoidance. If you can't dodge, attack! The distance between the two is zero, the moment Eda Moon was released.

"Swing" the arm that catches the fish from below! ”

Lift Sanori's outstretched arm from below and move its trajectory upwards to deflect the attack. Fold it up here and finish. Otherwise, you won't even have a chance to defeat it. This trick should be very effective at such close range!!

"Mason, 'tighten'!!"

\"Oh no!? Run, Arunori!! \"

He panicked and tried to escape as instructed by Hope, but he was not in a good position and could not dodge at all after being attacked. Mason's tail grabbed Sarnori and squeezed it. Although the blow is not strong enough, it takes away the freedom of the opponent and gradually continues to deal damage.

", Ape Sect, Edazu—"

"Grab the ape's arm with both hands!!"

The only right arm that stretched out, which was not caught in the tail, was firmly grasped by both hands and could not move at all. For a few seconds, Saruki didn't give up, twisting her body, but I didn't want to give in and continued to hold on to the other party. However, the power of the Ape Sect is higher, so it will be solved little by little. Still, the cumulative damage is significant

\"It's almost there! Go for it, Asanori!! \"

"Mason, prepare!!"

After a few more seconds, the tension on Mason's body finally loosened. Aim for that moment

'Now!!' Water Iron Cannon'!! ”

I'm going to squeeze you, so when you run away, I'll aim at the moment you jump back and shoot with my water iron cannon. Unlike the first time, Saruki couldn't get his footing in the air, and was directly hit, flying directly into the trunk of the tree behind Hope.

\"Ape Cult!? \"

While everyone's eyes were on Saruki, Saruki rolled his eyes, hit the trunk of a tree, and slid to the ground.

"That's it. Ape Ki can't fight. Victor, Mason! \"

"Okay!! Haha, thank you Mason for your hard work. ”

\"I、Eyebrows~\"

"Damn, but what a good fight! Well done Arunori. \"

"Kei~"

Hit the return laser while taking care of each other's mates.

I'm thankful that Maesong didn't give up and believed me when the type compatibility was poor. Mason returned to a ball and stroked it as he placed it in a brace around his waist.

"Thank you, Mason."

\"Freya~!! Well played!! It should be the difference in experience or the difference in judgment speed, Freya, you are very strong!! Although there is an advantage, I didn't expect you to lose. \" depending on your type. ”

"It's too much to kill, so if you fight a few times in a row, you might be able to turn the situation around."

I don't think there are many people who use crying like this. If you can get used to being blindfolded by water, then no, I still have some hole cards in my hand, but I don't want to reveal them just yet.

"Hap, Fria, thank you both for your efforts!! It's a great fight!! ”

"yes, I think it's been a while since I've seen such a fierce fight."

"It's a very exciting fight. Thank you both for your hard work. ”

When I shook hands with Hope and complimented him on a good fight, Yongli, Miss Sonia, and Dr. Mulan complimented me as well. Come to think of it, are these three people looking at me this time? I didn't realize it when I fought, but when I did, it was a little awkward.

"Yes, Hope. I want to fight too."

"I also want to fight against Yuri one day. So next time, can you? ”

"Absolutely!!"

"No"

Do you really want to fight me that much? Maybe before you invited Hope out today, Hope thought the same thing. They all seem to love Pokémon battles.

In that case, I wish I had fought him sooner

Well, the way we meet is the way we meet, so it can't be helped. Let's look forward to the next opportunity.

"Well, Frya. Are you awake? ”

"Ah, now that I think about it, that's what it started for."

"I thought I was going to forget about it, but it was too fast. I was so focused on it that I couldn't help but notice"

Now that I think about it, is this the fight that woke me up? Pokémon battles were so much fun that I ended up forgetting a lot of things.

"Alright then, let's go when Sarnori and Mason's wounds are healed. Yesterday, Freya said that there was a Snorax on the railroad tracks, so it was blocked. Maybe it's because Snorax has been on the ship for a while, and the rails are a little crooked. "I'm temporarily unavailable for maintenance work, so I thought I'd better hurry."

"What、That's it? So, are you going to walk from here? \"

"You can't go to Engine City from Brush Town, but there's a line that branches out to the Gathering Clearing, so you should be able to use it without any problems. Anyway, if you go there and go through the wilderness area and start there, Engine City is right in front of you! ”

"So you're walking in the wilderness?"

Wild areas.

You can finally experience something beyond the wildlife area, see Professor Rowan and the Pokémon seen in the booklet living peacefully in the wilderness, interacting with them, fighting. When I think about it, I feel like I can't stay any longer

"Let's go! Wilderness!! I was looking forward to it before I came to the Galel area!! \"

"I want to explore the wasteland with everyone as soon as possible!!"

"I also want to meet all kinds of Pokémon!"

If you decide to do so, take immediate action. The three of us nodded to each other, let's go on an adventure.

"Please wait."

As I was about to leave, Dr. Mulan called me.

He almost seemed a little dissatisfied with the fact that all three of them had been defeated, but when he saw what Dr. Mulan was holding in his hand, he felt that it made sense, and his face tensed.

"This is what I made from the wishing wart you found yesterday. Please take it with you as a farewell gift for your new adventure. ”

What I received was the Dymax band that Dander and his friends wore in yesterday's video.

I felt a touch of warmth when I put it firmly on my right wrist.

It feels weird

It's hard to put into words, but I didn't feel any discomfort; On the contrary, I can't help but feel the excitement of being able to do something new.

"You can also use strong power in some parts of the wilderness area. You can also use it to feel it before the gym challenge, so, go ahead, young man. Enjoy it to the fullest with your eyes and your body and mind. ”

"Yes, thank you!!" ””

All three bowed their heads, grateful.

They provided me with a band, provided me with accommodation, provided me with food, and I really appreciate their help.

"Now that these little children are leaving, what are you going to do?"

\"I—I!? \"

Sonia was surprised by Dr. Mulan's words. He looked like he was thinking about something.

Is there anything important to talk about?

Either way, we'd better not ask. I had the feeling that Sonia was looking at me and telling me I could move on, so we looked at each other, nodded, and headed back down Route 2.

I hope Sonya-san can work on it too

Just when I was thinking so.

Yesterday I came to Brass Town for the first time.

At the Pokémon Center, refill everyone's supplies, and then buy a ticket to the Wild Area at the station. The time was just right, the train was about to arrive, and I was about to go to the ticket gate to swipe my ticket.

"Waiting"

I turned around and heard a voice behind me. There were two women there. As she continues to chat with Jump and Yuri, it seems likely that she is their mother. When I saw that exchange, I was reminded of the days before, before I set off, I was also subjected to such conversations and received things like running shoes and adventure bags. As I was immersed in the memories, the conversation turned to me.

\"You're Freya-kun. I heard from Hope about what was happening in the Sleeping Forest. Thank you very much. Also, I'm sorry that stupid son of mine caused you trouble\"

"So is my Yongli. Thank you very much. ”

"No, I just happened to be passing by, thank you for your help."

"Hey, Xiao Jia! Please don't say too much. \"

"Mom too! Excuse me!! ”

After that, we started talking about all sorts of things. The same goes for me, Kem, Light and Jun, but it may be customary everywhere to accept my mother's advice before leaving. It's funny when I think about it, and it makes me sick.

\"Ahh Freya laughed! You still think we're chickens!! It's just that we went on a trip a year in advance. \"

"I don't think so. I don't think so. I'm just nostalgic. ”

"Looks like he's smiling, thinking"

"It's just my imagination, now the train is about to leave, let's go!!"

"'Are you misleading me?' Come on!! ’”

I bowed to Yuri's mother, and quickly boarded the train and fled.

After all, adventures are noisy and fun, so you have to start laughing!!

Soon after we got on the train, the train started moving. During that time, we all tried to make fun of each other so as not to cause trouble to the people around us. Actually, we almost fell somewhere, just making fun of us. Each other.

The train whistle announces departure. Until then, I felt like they were laughing at our noise. "Wow~"

Exclamation.

Sigh.

Impressed.

Awesome.

All sorts of words come and go, but the last thing that comes to my mind is "huge". That's it.

That's what I thought when I arrived at the open space of the party, got off the bus, exited the station, and looked at the scenery in front of me. In the distance, there is a large lake in the endless green grassland. A Pokémon flying in the sky. A Pokémon running on the ground. A Pokémon swims in a lake. Everyone felt the beauty of the outdoors and lived happily, happily and freely.

It felt like a much bigger wildlife area. That's what I thought, but it's ridiculous. It was a vast natural environment that was incomparable to a safari park, and it was almost painful to compare. The lakes and meadows I had seen before were also clearly beyond what I had seen from here.

"It's wilderness."

"The view from here is amazing no matter what time of year you see it."

"yes, but you can intervene yourself today, right?"

"You've just been looking at it until now?"

"I didn't, so my mom had to accompany me, and even if I did, it was only a little farther inside, so it was the first time I walked normally alone."

"It's also the first time I've been able to walk around freely!!"

Not only me, but Hope and Yongli were also excited. Let's take the first step as soon as possible. All three of us took the first step

Dada!

"Huh?"

I was just about to take a step when something ran in front of me.

I thought it was an orange shadow, but it was running so fast that I couldn't see anything in front of it. The only thing I could see was the residual current, and I felt a slight numbness in my skin. The only thing left was a little charred spot in that place, which must have been passed through by something

\"I、And now? \"

"It's so fast, I can only see my own shadow"

"Sounds like a thunderbolt."

I was amazed by the experience, as if there was no other event that could be described as instantaneous. I couldn't take a single step. In fact, I completely missed the opportunity to take a step forward. Jump and Yuri seem to be the same, so I'm a little confused

"So, are you still here?"

Hearing a voice behind me, I turned around and saw Miss Sonia there.

\"Miss Sonia? \"

"Sonya, why are you here?"

"Are you done?"

I remember him talking to Dr. Mulan with a mysterious look on his face. He looked like he was thinking about something, and even if you looked at him from the sidelines, you could feel his anxiety.

"Yes. I'm watching your fight and your attitude. I knew I had to do my best too, and I couldn't stay in a place like this when my grandmother said so much to me. So, I thought I should try a little bit harder and see how it goes. ”

However, the expression on Miss Sonia's face in front of her now is different from that time, and she has a relieved look, or rather a refreshing look that has gotten rid of everything.

"So be it! I won't be there all the time, but I will keep an eye on you from time to time, so please take care of me! As a senior of the Gym Challenge, I can give you a lot of advice, so leave it to me. I'm curious about what you said about the Pokémon you saw in the forest, and it might help my research, so please help me! ”

Sonia patted her chest and said proudly. It doesn't look like he's talking nonsense, so he should be fine, right?

"Well, in that case, let's leave early, we're going to go to the wasteland, right? If you don't hurry, the reception doesn't know if you'll be late. ”

"Ahh

"You two, wait."

Because Miss Sonia left first, the oppressive atmosphere just now dissipated, and everyone began to run.

"Too bad"

When I traveled with Yuki, we took our first steps together, but the first steps were much slower compared to then. But I guess that's what they're typical of.

"Hey, don't leave me."

But even such an atmosphere is pleasant.

Chase the three shadows running ahead.

I felt my cheeks rise naturally.

There was a time when I enjoyed it too.

"Wow, ah, !!???"

The four of us shouted as we ran across the plain as fast as we could.

The location is the wilderness Puraka grassland. This is a relatively calm area in the wilderness, located just outside the train station, and is known for its bad character. Many of the Pokémon that appear here are gentle, probably because they have more opportunities to interact with people. However, there are quite a few of them, and although they are small, there are also some Pokémon with a very short temper. One of them.

"Wow, ahhhh

This is the Ivac who is chasing us now.

It all started when I walked on the Uralaka steppe in the wilderness area, interacting with wild Pokémon and making moves, and sometimes fighting trainers walking in the wilderness area, gaining various experiences.

There was a rocky area of just the right size, so we decided to take a break there. As they drank and chatted, they found themselves leaning or sitting on rocks moving slightly. We thought it was weird, so as we moved away from the rock, the rock started to move more and more violently, and we realized that the rock was actually Ivac.

My job. Rock Snake Pokémon. Iwa, the water-based type.

This is an opponent that can be weakened four times with my Mason and Hope's ape cult.

Maybe it doesn't like to be used as a resting stop, so it starts moving and preparing to attack us. In response, Jump and I pitched to Umeson and Sarnori. Yongli's Fire Bull and Sonya-san's King Eight are weak for Ivak, so I'll let them have a good night this time. In order to let him know that he has grown a lot since they met, the two used the new skills they had just learned on Yuvac, "Water Wave" and "Hapache", however, he used a move with four times the weakness, and I didn't move after taking a hit. Instead, the counterattack hit the ape, making it impossible for him to fight with one blow.

No, no, no, it's still very convincing, because leaf knives are physical skills that can be done?! Mizuno is so special, why is she emaciated!? No way!?

After a bad premonition, I held up the encyclopedia and flipped through the information about Ivac.

"Attention!! Note!! This work is of a high level!! Dangerous!! Dangerous!! ”

Yuri seems to be doing the same thing, with warnings sounding from both my encyclopedia and Yuri's smartphone Lotom.

In other words, the level of my work is extremely high
