Although I borrowed my overalls, it was still dirty, so I totally agreed with Mary. I want to take a shower even though I want to finish eating. Besides, I can't go into the house in these dirty clothes

However, it seemed to take quite a long time for the four of us to take a shower. Even if you want everyone to take a shower first, the last person will probably have to wait more than an hour before taking a shower.

"Thank you for your hard work, it really helped me a lot today, I'm going to prepare dinner now, you guys go take a shower first, I'm ready." Hearing the words of Xiang Marie, who greeted her in front of the storeroom, everyone suddenly became excited. Even though it was fun and exciting, I went to work anyway. Naturally, the stress of responsibility and fatigue from overexertioning the body has built up, and if you can take a shower right away and release it easily, you can understand why this tension is exacerbated.

\"Thank you, Marie-san, I want to take a shower, I want to stretch as much as possible\"

"I will also warm your shoulders, I want to relieve your fatigue."

"Yuri and Mary helped me a lot! I could have gone in later, so come in first."

\"Uh, okay? And what about Freya and Hope? \"

"We don't need to worry about that, Yongli. That's the way it is! Ready to fight? ”

"Ladies first,? Why are you arguing? ”

"That's it, that's it! We can still hold on! ”

"That's it, the men will be fine in a while."

The smell of sweat and earth is strong, but considering that this is the result of my own work, I can still tolerate it, and while waiting for the shower, I want to play with the rest of the children while it is also a good idea here. There may be children who only show their faces at night.

"Oh, why don't we all come in?"

“？”

As Himarissan pondered the question, she dropped a bomb. You're kidding?

"But is the size of the bathtub okay? Is there five people in there? ”

"No, Hope, it has nothing to do with the size of the tub, does it?"

"Where do you think this is? Is this the world's storage facility? There is a large communal bath where large Pokémon can be bathed with a lot of Pokémon. ”

\"No, Mary-san Xiang is also a little grumpy, huh? Yes? Is there something wrong with me? \"

When I looked back, the women didn't seem to know why they were denying it. Maybe I'm a heretic after all? I don't think that's the case, and now that I think about it, I don't think Hikari had any objection to me taking a shower with him when we were camping together. Travel, my common sense has collapsed

\"But if you go in separately, it will take a long time, right? The nights in the Galel area were cold and dirty, and I couldn't take them home."

"This is"

If you say that, I certainly can't argue with that. I can't pollute other people's homes, I always thought I could interact with Pokémon outside, but in this area at the same latitude as Sinnoh, even the locals say I can imagine getting cold. If I don't wipe my sweat like this, I'm sure I'll catch a cold.

"Even I can't let my benefactor catch a cold, so I think it's better for everyone to go in together."

I could clearly see that he was acting in complete good faith. Still, I think the girls should be allowed instead of asking for our permission?

"If you don't have a swimsuit, I'll lend it to you."

\"Just in case, I have experience traveling to other areas and prepared a bathing suit for the bath, so it's okay\"

"Well, it's okay, everyone in the Galel area often plays in the water in the wilderness areas, so they usually have swimsuits on hand. \"

"Ah, that makes sense."

I was a little surprised, but it seemed normal for Galel. So let's walk along the town here.

"We're all looking forward to taking a bath."

"I see~"

"The bathroom is over there, I'll show you around."

Everyone can relax and chat at the same time to relieve fatigue. Yes. Looks like a lot of fun. I've always loved taking baths so that I can wash my life and body, and it would be more fun if I could take a shower with everyone. Now, let's take it easy and enjoy it.

Mary Ji secretly clenched her fists, and the women turned their heads away slightly, I think it was just my imagination. Yes. By the way, Hope didn't take it seriously. Absolutely.

☆

\"Ahh

Although the atmosphere was a little awkward, after changing into a swimsuit and taking a shower, I was surrounded by comfort and forgot all about it. The feeling of letting go while sinking into just the right temperature was the best feeling ever, and I opened my mouth and let out an irritated sound. It's embarrassing to think that someone will ask about it, but other people feel the same way, so there's no need to worry. After all, taking a bath is the best.

"But it's amazing. I've never seen a bathtub this big before. ”

"Thank you, this is the bathroom I am most proud of. Actually, it's the first time I've taken a shower here, right? ”

"Is that so?"

"Because it doesn't need to be that big to fit a normal person."

"It's also true."

It really is a big bathtub. Although luxurious, it looks difficult to clean and is too big to feel uncomfortable. Moderation is the first thing.

"Eh, as soon as you say that, I want to know how your relationship is?"

\"Relationship? ””””

Aoi-san walked up to me, looking a little nervous. I wonder if our relationship is like this

"Traveling companions?"

"Aren't you an opponent?"

"That's what I thought."

\"I've only had a couple of skirmishes with Hope, and it's better to be Freya's fellow traveler than an opponent? \"

That's just my opinion, but really, I don't think we're going to get that compatible, so I don't really think they're competitors. The reason may be because we have too many things to do. I don't know yet, and we all explain all sorts of things to each other. Talking while doing can be a big factor. On this side is the traveling seniors, and on the other side is the galel seniors. Since we are more inclined to help each other rather than compete with each other, travel buddies seem to be a better fit than competitors.

"It's nice to be a travel companion. I want to be like that, too."

\"Aoi-san, don't you have such a person around you? \"

"When I started to remember, I was already surrounded by Pokémon and was exposed to the environment of the nursery you see, it's a long way from Turf Town, right? And because it's a nursery school, I don't have many children. "Age. I don't even come here, so it's really rare for me to spend time with other people like this, and it's really fun. ”

Sora Aoi looked up at the ceiling, looking happy and happy, looking really happy, even looking at her couldn't help but smile.

"We also had a great time. It was a valuable experience and we learned a lot as it was tough. ”

"After all, when you actually try it, your impression of this kind of thing changes. I have a little more respect for you. ”

"Yes! I would like to come back here again after taking a break after the gym challenge"

"Will you come again? I'll welcome you then."

I watched the thrill from not far away. The way they chatted happily reminded me of my old self. If the army is there, it will definitely be noisier. I'd love to see you, even once. This feeling came to me.

So I'm going to get stronger after all

I gently pulled myself back, and the magical power of the bath put me at ease.

"I'll have to make sure I don't get trapped on the ground, Marie?"

\"Ah, that's because a Kajichu suddenly fell from the tree, and I didn't save that jump and stepped on Paswan's tail\"

"I'm a loser! It was so much fun to see Mary screaming and breaking down. ”

"That's just what's possible."

"Yubu!?"

Marianne made a "popping" sound as she spewed out as much hot water as she could. Hope winced at the sudden attack while making strange noises. It's so hilarious that you can't help but laugh.

"Oh, you did it"

"Is there something wrong with teasing?! Is it dangerous!? ”

"Hey!? \"

Hope tried to fight back, but Marie quickly avoided it with her agile movements. However, the hot water that was avoided hit Yuri and Aoi directly in front of him.

"Jump~?"

\"Aha, you did it~Hejun\"

"Wait, was what Marie avoided just now?" Goo!? \"

Hope's revenge without any questions or answers was so funny and made me laugh even harder. After all, these members are lively and funny

The bullets aimed at Hope dispersed more than I thought, so the stray bullets flew towards me as well. Or rather, maybe because I didn't aim accurately, there was obviously more flying towards me than flying towards the jump.

"Huhu, okay. Jump. ”

\"Puha hey, if this happens to Freya, I'll do it\"

"It's war!"

\"Eh, the wind and the rain!? \"

\"Yuri!? Already, if this happens, I'll do my best to let's go."

\"Eh, eh? \"

A hot water war between everyone suddenly began. The play gradually became more and more interesting and intense. This continued until the appearance of Himarisan.

☆

\"Wow, Xiang Sakura's cooking is really delicious\"

"Of course. My mom's cooking skills were great."

"That makes sense, considering they're also making it for the Pokémon in the Vault."

"My Mopeco is also satisfied."

"I also had a great time."

After taking a shower, we ate something and went to Aoi-san's room. We fell asleep like this: Aoi-san, Yuri, and Mary were lying in bed, and Hope and I were in bed. Mattresses are laid on the floor.

The place where the storage room is located is a large piece of land, and the house itself is also very large, so each room is large enough for five people to sleep, and first of all there is a bed that can sleep three people, I think it goes without saying that you can feel its spaciousness. It's like spending the night at a friend's house, it's a lot of fun.

"Are you going to get out of here tomorrow?"

"Yes, I'm not in such a hurry, but there's no need to be late."

I replied as a delegate, but others seemed to feel the same way, nodding their heads in agreement. Considering the route to Bow Town, this storage store is located about halfway way from Bow Town, so if you don't leave here early, you'll be arriving in Bow Town late at night, which is a bad idea. If we had done this, we might have been right in front of Bowton, but it's late at night and there's no visibility, so we might end up camping in front of Bowton.

Unlike when I was in the Sinnoh area, the insurance and adventure allowance were more than enough, so I would eventually try to stay in a hotel if I could. I thought that the threshold for travel would be lower, but the difficulty of the alliance is invite-only, so the threshold is actually higher, and in the end the adventure itself is zero difficulty, but I am going to such a troublesome trip. If the threshold is low, I hope Yongli and they can stay in the hotel as much as possible.

"Gymnastics challenge, right?"

"Aoi, haven't you thought about participating?"

"Of course I thought about it, right? But I like to take care of Pokémon like this. It's satisfying just to watch the fight."

Ms. Aoi's smile and pleasant answer made me realize that she really enjoyed the job.

"Of course, I love watching battles, so I have the opportunity to work with you guys today, so I'll be cheering for you"

"I will do my best to live up to your expectations."

"I only have a gym badge yet, so I still have a long way to go."

"I wasn't able to watch the first gym video, but I'll definitely watch and support you in the next video! Ah, but I think I saw the video of Freea and I think it appeared in the "special report on gym fights, right there." I loved it."

"You did it!?"

\"Is that so!? It's Frya."

"I—I don't have to praise you so much"

I can't believe it's going to be on TV like this, so I wonder if there's already someone waiting for me in Bowdon, and out of all the people here, Mary is the only one I know with a proper fan base

\"Is Miss Freya really that strong? \"

Very strong. ''

"Is it lifting too much?"

"No, no, at least the best among us."

"I think you guessed it when you asked Mr. Yarrow to use a combo. \"

"Even if I have two monsters with weaknesses, they won't use me."

\"If you think about it, why do you want to show Mr. Yarrow's true side with a formation that doesn't like the grass system? \"

I thought about it again, but Yuri was indeed the two people chosen to attack the weak point, and Hope and Mary were also able to attack the weak point and work with each other to prevent numbness. On the other hand, I am. As you can see.

"Why is there such a fight?"

"Hey Party"

"Oh, maybe I'm talking to a great guy right now?"

"Anyway! Keep up the good work! ”

"I changed the subject"

I don't want you to look at me like that. It was as if they treated me like I was an abnormal person.

"I'm not a special person in the first place, uh"

\"Uh, I noticed that Freya yawned for so long? \"

I couldn't hold back my sudden sleepiness and let out a big yawn, though it was hard to tell, because only Hope said it out loud, but the yawn had already spread to everyone. If we move again, everyone will fall asleep. Intrigued by Hope's words, I looked at my watch, and it was already past eleven o'clock. If you're thinking about leaving early tomorrow, you should probably go to bed and prepare for tomorrow.

"I guess it's time to sleep."

"yes, it looks like it's early tomorrow, and although I can relax in the bathtub, I'm still feeling tired, and I'm probably reaching my limit." \"

"Then I'll turn off the lights."

Using Hope's words as a signal, everyone buried their heads in the quilt.

Seeing that everyone was ready to go to bed, Hope turned off the lights, leaving only moonlight in the room, creating a somewhat magical space. The starry sky, which is clearly visible due to its natural environment, may have played a role in creating that space.

"See you tomorrow! Good night. ”

'Good Night~'

I glanced at the slightly fantastical landscape, listened to Hope's words, and closed my eyes slightly. The faint cry of the nocturnal Pokémon entrusted to me from the depths of the storage room was like a lullaby.

☆

It's been more than an hour since everyone went to bed in their rooms.

The night is getting deeper, and it's time for nocturnal animals to become more energetic. At times like these, there is one thing that blows my mind, as if my time has come.

In order not to make a noise to wake him, I quietly jumped out of the room.

I quietly looked outside and saw that he was sleeping peacefully, and I felt a little warm in my heart. Although I was of course not satisfied, since I came to this area, I have not had many opportunities to go out, and can only quietly move around while my master sleeps, I am not too strongly opposed, because I know the reason for doing so.

While I wouldn't sneak out at night like this, I didn't feel cramped because I was allowed to go out and I knew I could be relied upon in an emergency. Rather, when will this gym challenge come out, what kind of opponents can I fight, and what kind of stage will I be exposed? If you imagine something like this, it's still very exciting.

"Hmm"

When I came to this area, I saw what was happening outside this ball, and although it was less than a day, the time was tight and even from my point of view, the first gym tickled my heart. It was a great experience and my new friends were also very inspiring and I am sure they will be an important part of supporting the Lord together in the future.

I believe that if I do this, my master will be free from his troubles and from his regrets.

For this, I also have to work harder. In order not to embarrass himself as an ace, and not to let himself put on such an expression again

He concentrated his strength into his fists.

This journey was undoubtedly a major turning point for the Lord. Friends from the area who went with me before can't come here. For the sake of those friends, I have to be strong. Here's why

Gently release the hand that caresses the owner's cheek and remove it slightly. From now on, I'm going to go out and do the volunteer training that I started doing when I came to this area. Luckily, today I found the perfect place to do it in the garden of the pantry. You may be surprised by the Pokémon entrusted to you, but in this case, treat them slowly and kindly, just like you would with your owner. Things should work out. Maybe

With this in mind, I walked to the window and prepared to leave the room

“？”

My eyes caught something unnatural.

In this place full of nature, is this an unnatural light, or rather, the light reflected by machines? The light I saw from the window of the forest in the store gave me a strong sense of ill will

\"！？ \"

Several bird Pokémon take off from where they can see the light, as if they were running away. In addition, at the same time

"Is there anything you need at this time?!?

When I thought I heard the voice of the person my master was caring for coming from below, I felt something in the air that held my breath. That light, the visitor of this moment, and the escaped bird Pokémon. There is another possibility

I had a bad premonition. This thing itself is problematic, so

"Uh-uh? What time is it?"

I can't bear it, but I'm going to wake up the Lord. If it goes on like this, my master will definitely regret it.

"Uh, are you out? What happened? ”

While I was rubbing my eyes, the Lord sensed something was happening, woke me up, and listened to me. In response to the Lord, I immediately told the Lord what I had seen and heard.

Come, Lord. Please act quickly. You are so kind, you will never let this matter go.

"Huh!? Is that really the case!? ”

Because the Lord is such a merciful man, I want to stay with Him. Here's why

"I absolutely have to stop it to help me"

Since I still don't dare to help in official matches, I hope to be able to support my master in this situation. I hope so. When my partner woke me up and asked me what had happened, I quickly stood up with only a brace hanging from my waist. I was wearing pajamas, but to be honest, I didn't even have time to change my clothes.

"Can I give you those things from the depths of the forest?"

Before I could say anything, I jumped out of the window and walked deeper into the forest. I took one look at it, immediately opened the door to Aoi-san's room, and ran out.

Miss Aoi's room is on the second floor of the storage room, so she sits on the railing of the stairs leading to the reception on the first floor, where the intruder may have been, holding a ball in her hand as she slides down with a bracket on her waist. Although he is acting a little badly, since it is an emergency, I will ask him to take care of it. Towards the first floor, I lifted my hips from the railing, jumped off, and as soon as I landed, I rolled forward and sprinted to absorb the impact. Pressing the button on the monster ball, I felt the ball grow in my hand and I did not hesitate to open the door to the reception. and

"Jimiron, how is Mizuno?"

"What!? Fox Lane!? ”

\"Freya-kun!? \"

"Why are you here!?"

Sumire-sama and Miss Mari are about to be attacked by four big men and four Pokémon who are trying to storm the reception area. Having confirmed this, I did not hesitate to order Gimeron to attack. The person who does such a thing at such a time cannot be a sane person. Especially my friends also gave me advice.

Just as the two Fox Thunder Bears and the two Galaria Muscle Bears were about to attack, Gimeron slammed the water leaf and pushed one of the Fox Thundermen back.

Startled by the sudden attack, the enemy took a step back and distanced himself. After confirming, I immediately jumped in front of Sumire-san and Sakura-san Muko.

"Okay?!"

"yes, that's okay."

"Thank you"

"Don't worry about those guys?"

"I'm a Pokémon Hunter."

"Huh!?"

Pokémon Hunter.

A general term for people who make money by forcibly catching Pokémon and selling them, or by over-hunting and selling rare materials and tools that can be obtained from Pokémon. When asked what is the difference between a trainer who usually catches a monster with a monster ball and a trainer who catches a monster with force, there are two differences.

One is bonds.

Pokémon caught by the magic ball form a relationship of master, servant, and partner, although it varies from person to person. If this does not happen, it means that they remain in the wild, they become more ferocious and violent, their distrust of humans increases, and if they run away on their own, they will start attacking people who have nothing to do with them. The damage is extended. Therefore, it is of great significance to catch it with a demon ball.

There is a second one.

First of all, the Pokémon Protection Law prohibits catching without the use of magic balls. In other words, it's a crime. There is no doubt that this law was made because of the first, but well, I don't care about the details

To put it simply, the person in front of you is a criminal syndicate.

I guess there are similar things in every region

How could a guy like Team Galaxy do such a thing with a calm face? I don't want to pretend to be a hero of justice, but I still can't forgive what I can't forgive. If only I could conquer them here

"Hey, what would you do if you were a kid and went alone?"

"Are you posing as an ally of justice? Walk! Miss Bear, make it clear"

"Do Fox Lane too"

Four Pokémon stand in the way. Even if I mobilized all my strength, I only had three because my partner was missing. But it requires quite a bit of maneuverability

"Rabbi Foot, 'Nidogri'"

"Bachinki, 'Harpa Cutter'"

"Morpeco, 'Halo Guruma'"

"Gimiron, once again, 'How's Mizuno'"

I asked Mizuno again, feeling a sense of trust in the shadow running from behind. Each of the four moves hit the opponent and successfully forced the opponent to retreat further.

"The door suddenly opened with a loud bang, and I was startled and woke up"

"I'm still a little sleepy, but!"

"Sure enough, I can't go down."

"Mom! Grandma"

Yuri and the others stood next to me. Meanwhile, Aoi runs to her family and makes sure they are safe. Apparently I made it too noisy and everyone woke up. Although I am sorry, I am grateful because honestly, in this situation, I can't do anything without everyone's help.

"Is it OK to kill someone?"

"Leave it to me! ”””

Receiving a strong response from the trio, I nodded. My opponent is Fox Ray. It's an evolution of Jiuqu, and I don't want to praise it too much, but at first glance it seems to possess the ability to do bad things. The level there could be higher.

"I have to have at least a little advantage"

"What are you talking about? Don't get carried away just because the number increases? Fox, 'Tsujikiri'! ”

"Guimeron,! \"

It's not quite right, but it's sticky so well that I flinch slightly.

"So be it!"

I took a ball out of the bracket, put it down, and threw Mahomer out. Use fairies to gain an advantage and emerge victorious.

\"What are you doing in Fox?! Kill it with 'Tsujiki'"

"Ray"

"Mu!?"

As soon as Mahom came out, he was attacked and repulsed. However, although it was not good enough, the suppression of the damage received was better than I expected.

"Mahomir, 'Draining Kiss'"

\"Ahhhhh

Fighting back at others is a good skill. Despite the level difference, they are all excellent and can recover from taking quite a bit of damage.

A fox flew around, looking left and right. Mahom was perplexed by its lightness, which used walls and ceilings as footholds. I tried to calmly observe its movements, but it moved much faster than I expected, making it difficult for the unfast Mahomer to keep up with them.

"Mum!? \"

"Are you okay!?"

I was worried about what to do with the growing scars.

I had to make a strategy in my head and find a breakthrough as soon as possible

"As long as you work hard! If you do your job here, I'll make you a female Foxley samurai, so why not be more motivated? ”

Hearing this, Fox Ray shouted, became more motivated, and ran harder. The blasting method is the worst, but it does have an effect, so it's hard to overdo it. As Foxley picked up speed and ran more, Mahomer began to get more nervous. Maybe it's better to go back to Gimeron for a speed matchup

"Thank you, thanks to your words, we have found a breakthrough!"

"Huh?"

No matter how fast your opponent is, this is the only way!

"Mahomir, 'soft'"

"Mom-Mom!"

"Ley!?"

Fawkeley is attracted to Mahome's cuteness, his eyes turn into a heart shape, and he begins to fall in love with her. Foxley, who was in a state of ecstasy, could do nothing but stop and stare at Mahomer.

"Oh hey! Fox Ley, what are you doing?"

"La~la~"

"Thank you for telling me the gender, I don't have to pester with you anymore"

Mahomer is a Pokémon that exists only as males. Once you know that the other person is male, you can be brain dead and have a crush on him. There is no need to remember the gender of your Mahome. Of course, being in ecstasy will only make it difficult for you to take action because you're obsessed, but that doesn't mean you won't take action. Therefore, this further deters the other side and implicates other enemies

"Yuri, Hope, Mary! Let everyone go backwards"

With my command, all those who were fighting put down their positions. Because of my sudden move, all the enemies looked at me suspiciously, and they all stopped moving for a while. Decide now

"Mahomir, Angel's Kiss"

Fox, who was slow and unsteady, became even more confused, and his movements became clumsy and messy. It was so much fun to see him spin, lie down, and even release Tsujikiri and Denkoseca on his allies, and it brought tears to my eyes, even though it wasn't.

"Hey! I'm bothering you Foxley! ”

"It's useless to fix the mess or lower it."

"Hey, don't attack me"

\"It's annoying! Hey, Foxley is doing a good job\"

The opponent is so fragile that he takes his frustration out on his Pokémon in such a terrible situation, and this is nothing more than an opportunity for us.

"'Drain Kiss'!"

"'Nidogiri'!"

"'Harpa Knife'!"

"'Reiki Guruma'!"

We will not ignore such a breach, but launch an attack. In addition, confused individuals will continue to attack other instances with precision. Of course, I didn't want to get into a rift, so I kept my distance from the attack, but didn't get too close. Our fighting style, including careful distance management, weakened our opponents more than expected, perhaps because our combos were perfect and we were able to push them into a corner with little to no damage. The enemy was even more annoyed by the division of friendly forces and my scattered attacks, and I finally lost patience with them.

"Ah, what an annoyance! Volkswagen Bear! 'Go East' to that useless person"

A serious charge, intent on making the confused guy unable to fight, hit Fox Ray directly. Although we both suffered a lot from the recoil damage, I guess it brought me back to my senses and I was no longer lost and lost. But the cost is quite high, and the opponent is quite tired.

"Okay. Looks good, we're about to win."

"It's Freya, who has changed so much in one fell swoop. \"

"I'm just lucky."

"But thanks to you, we have the upper hand. After all, we can rely on Philia. Now, let's hurry up and decide\"

The strategy has been decided perfectly, and our morale has been greatly boosted. This also spreads to the Pokémon, who are all full of energy. On the other hand, on the other side, the comrades-in-arms can't keep up, and the trainers don't perform well, so their motivation is declining. If I continue like this, I'll be able to get through it.

"Damn, you've become so embarrassed because of me"

\"Cut, it's so annoying, ha, then I'll take it back, right? \"

The trainer on the other side showed a look of disgust, tried to quickly suppress it, and rushed to his partner who was fighting deep in the forest. A strange chill swept through my body, and my body trembled.

What the hell is going on

"Foxley, 'Roar'"

Silent black waves of air shot straight out, with obvious malice.

"Destroy the Vixen"

"Shut up!?"

It passed neatly between us, and then was released, flying towards Aoi-san without hesitation. No one was able to react to the sudden attack, which continued to turn its way around Aoi and them.

"Ahhh

"Aoi"

"Even if it's just you!"

Aoi-san and Sumire-san hug Aoi-san and try to act as a shield. I panicked and tried to run to that place

In that time, there was still a lot of time.

"Mum!? \"

"Mahomir!?"

"Hey! Keep pressing 'bark'"

'Rats!' Wall of Light'"

"We will also support Maho"

When I saw four more barks flying by, I reflexively called out to Raltz and quickly deployed the wall of light. Even so, hops offset the inevitable problems of leaf cutters and cypresses. After confirming that everything was in order, I ran to Mahomer.

\"Are you alright? Mahime\"

"Mammam, Mamm!"

It seemed that he had been hit in the vital point, and although the damage was quite severe, he tried to stay calm and responded with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Mahomi—"

"Mum!"

I was about to go on and say it was my fault, but Mahomer put his finger to my mouth and I felt like he was saying, "That's not what I wanted to hear," so I quickly corrected myself.

"Indeed. Thank you for protecting me. \"

"Mam! Mum!? \"

"Toto"

Mahomer's answer seemed to be saying "you're welcome", but it seemed that the injury was not too serious after all, and he was a little abnormal. Such a battle may be a bit tough. As soon as I looked up, I saw a slightly shocked expression on Aoi-san's face. It seems that the previous attack did hit the point.

"Mahomer. Can I ask you one thing that only you can do? ”

"Mum"

True Homer saluted and floated away, falling into Miss Aoi's arms, emitting a sweet fragrance that calmed her heart. Aoi-san's nervous face relaxes with Mahomir's cuteness. I think you're going to be in good mental health right now. I'll soon be back to everyone who is still patient with me, especially the Wall of Light.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Are the Mahos alright?"

\"yes. This is what Marie deserves. Thank you. \"

"No, actually, it was we who were too slow to react, and that's why we were hurt by Filia's Mahom. Do you have any regrets? \"

\"When I said this to Mahommer, he was angry, so please change it to a proper thank you, Yongli. \"

"yes, that's right."

"So I'll finish it as soon as I can!"

We dodged the shouts of our opponents and stood in a row again. Raltz looked a little worried, and he pulled up the wall of light again and landed beside me.

"It doesn't matter. Mahomer is safe. Thanks to Ralts, we were able to protect everyone, thank you for worrying about us. ”

Gently pat Raltz's head. Perhaps relieved, he looked a little more comfortable, and his face changed dramatically. Ralz, who is good at sensing the feelings of others, must feel Aoi-san's anxiety and Mahommer's determination more than anyone else. Is it because of this? The power I felt from Rats was stronger than usual

"Let's go, Rats. Protect everyone"

"Ral!"

“？”

Raltz replied loudly, and his body began to glow blue. The light I saw yesterday. Signs of evolution.

\"Ralz evolved into Kiria! \"

"Kill"

"Yay! Let's go, Kyria! "Draining Kiss"

"Ahem, cough, cough"

The left hand, which was gently kissed, obviously emitted a stronger light than before, and the power was obviously increased. He clenched his fists, quickly stepped into Foxray's chest, and slammed it down. Of course, Fox Ray was faster than Ralts, but he was surprised by the gap, reacted late and was hit directly.

"Ley!?"

"Wow!?"

The blown up Foxley is blown back to his owner and is unable to fight. Ignoring the rolling Foxley, Kylia returned to me and took a fighting stance again. Kiria is very focused because she can't forgive herself for hurting Mahomer and the others. Foxray and the others were horrified by the pressure from Kilia. No one would miss this short gap, and they all shot again. When the attack ends, all Pokémon of the enemy are incapacitated.

"Damn, you guys! We've bought enough time to retreat! Let's run."

When the hunters heard this, they ran out. Everyone looked thoughtful when they heard the phrase "buy time", but Hope immediately gave the answer.

\"That's right, Miss Xiang Marie, Miss Sumire! I looked out the window and there was a lot of noise coming from the garden of the pantry! Maybe during this time\"

"The child in my care is in danger!? Their mom is here and I'll take care of them."

"Wait! I'll go too."

Xiang Marie and Aoi ran out of the storeroom. We felt that it was dangerous for the two of us to be alone, so we quickly chased after them, trying to track their backs. Visibility was poor in the dark forest, and there were a few times when I could barely see them, but they all stopped very close to the warehouse, probably moving to the other side from that noisy place. What's there

"What is this, what will happen?"

"Oh, hey, you guys! What's going on?"

The machines used to catch Pokémon were smashed to pieces, and the people who operated them were tied up with ropes. Thinking that might be the case, I checked the ball on my waist and saw that it was moving, even though it was supposed to be empty.

"Hahaha work"

My friend did it in one night no, it's too obvious.

\"So, I guess all I have to do is tie these four up in the same way? \"

"I don't know who did it, but it's good that things have been settled outside."

"But who did it? Freya? ”

"But Filia is fighting us"

"Hahaha, that's right?"

No, I have nothing to hide, but I don't have time to explain it right now, so I'll capture it.

"Hahaha, it's over, we're about to be arrested by this group of boys"

The enemy, realizing that he had failed, muttered with a desperate look on his face. Sorry, it's just my own fault, so I'll get back to you as soon as possible. As a courtesy, there's also a spare rope nearby, so if you use it, you should be able to tie up others as well. That's when I tried to approach him with a rope.

"In that case, at least I'll ruin everything"

"Huh!?"

Pokémon released with words. As soon as Pokémon appears, a sandstorm ensues. It was so intense that I couldn't see ahead but a blurry green silhouette. But it is enough to know so much. There is only one Pokémon with this trait.

"Bangiras!"

Armored Pokemon Bangillas.

For some reason, the Pokémon was confused at first.

"Rampage Bangelas"

"Quack, ahhhh

Do you listen to instructions? Bangiras went berserk without realizing it. Spirit objects and stone blades flew around, and even the people who summoned them were swept up in the air and blown away. Thankfully, it wasn't a direct hit, so he just lost consciousness, but if Bangiras continued to go berserk, it wouldn't be surprising that someone would be injured or even killed at any moment. I need to do something.

"Quack, ahhhh

Bangiras began to build up energy in his mouth, ready to use his partner to forcibly stop him. Just looking at the bewildering yellow waves, I felt that their power was quite strong. Or rather, I know the technology.

Ultra Beam!?

Before I could think of anything bad, an attack was launched, partially destroying the roof of the storage room and passing through.

This also involves some warehouses.

”“！？”

\"Frya!? Yongli!? \"

I ignored Hope's voice and ran through the sandstorm. Some warehouses were damaged. This means that the eggs may be damaged.

If that attack hits the egg

Two shadows flew out of the hollow. You can see it even if you don't look closely. Yongli and I were allowed to watch two mysterious eggs.

Brown polka dots and purple-and-white striped eggs dance in the sky.

If it falls like this, it will shatter

"Yuri, please give me the striped one"

"Leave it to me"

Immediately decide who is in charge of which and run in. But at this rate, we're running out of time.

"Arrived"

Stretching his right hand to the limit, he jumped in with a slippery head motion. Maybe it was because of that paddle that I felt the sensation of an egg on the palm of my right hand.

”

At the same time, I pulled it towards me and held it close to my body, removing the momentum as I rolled. After a few spins somehow stopped, I checked the eggs

"Yo, that's fine"

I shone more intense moonlight on the egg than usual and confirmed that there were no scratches on it. Since no other eggs are jumping out, I want to believe that the eggs are fine.

"Is Filia okay?"

"It's okay, I'm not hurt here."

\"That's fine—\"

"Fria Yongli"

"Get out of there"

”“！？”

Hope and Mary's words took me aback. Yes, there is still Jira left after work. Thinking of this, I looked at Bangiras and saw that he was already preparing his next meal and was looking at me.

Isn't that good!?

I don't have time to call my partner right now. On the other hand, I just rolled and killed the momentum, so I don't feel like I can run and avoid it because my system is terrible.

At least only lilies and eggs

When I reached out, even if it meant sacrificing myself, a question suddenly left in my mind. When I checked the damage to the eggs, I noticed something strange.

Now think about the sandstorm stopped?

When I looked up, the moonlight was bright, as if it was noon. Even though it was night, the sky was covered in sunlight. and

"The wind is blowing, Kuikong!" Solar Beam'"

Two green rays of light burst out. The warm attack released by absorbing the sunlight pierced Banjiras, who suffered massive damage and fell to the ground.

"This is Junsa, and we received a report from Aoi-san! We're going to catch the wanted Pokémon Hunters."

It seems that Miss Aoi reported before she went down to the first floor, and Miss Junsa, who immediately rushed over, announced loudly, and the siren of a police car sounded outside. This drought is due to the property of cucumbers, which is called heat. It is said that the beam of the sun from there managed to kill Bangiras.

Vangelus also fell, and all the Pokémon Hunters were safely apprehended. I guess it's okay now.

"'Okay'"

Yuri and I were relieved from the tension of being almost hit directly by the sea line, and we both lost our strength. It sat slowly on the ground with the egg.

"Are you two alright!?"

"It doesn't matter. Thank you, Aoi-san, for your report. \"

\"Thank you, Aoi. \"

"Wow, I'm glad you're safe."

Tearful eyes: "You guys really helped me a lot. Thank you. ”

"No, we learned a lot thank you so much for your help"

Two days after a series of riots.

The janitor stayed for a day longer than planned, as the fighting took place at night and he wanted to help repair the roofs and gardens damaged by the atrocities in Bangiras. Actually, the roof hasn't been repaired yet, so I wanted to stay a little longer to help, but I told Sakura-sama about it

"You guys have a gym challenge, right? We hired a contractor to do the roofing and thanks to Mr. Junsa's kindness, we got extra security, so we'll be fine here. Good luck with the gym challenge. ””

Since I have asked so much, I can't refuse, although I am still a little worried, but today I decided to leave. If there's one more thing I'd like to say

"Are you really happy to have this child?"

"We're not real parents"

"Buoys?"

"Huh?"

I don't know if it has something to do with Eevee on my shoulder and Erezin in Yuri's hand.

Pokémon has a strange habit: when an egg hatches, it seems to recognize the last person holding the egg as its parent. In other words, I'd say that it apparently mistook me and the Yuri I was holding when I hatched that day for its parents. When the two of them wanted to return it at night, they both looked at them with sad faces and became attached to them, so they both felt very guilty. While I was waiting, Miss Sumire told me that she was in trouble because she didn't have any underwriters, so would you be willing to make me your friend if you agreed? So I decided to be her friend.

I'm so happy to have new people who sit on my shoulders and stroke my cheeks, it's really cute and soothing, but there's also something really good, like you get some expensive stuff for free. I was left with smoldering feelings, feelings of fear and doubt.

\"It's okay! These children seem to like Miss Fria and Miss Yongli very much, and since you have helped us many times, we are relieved to give them to you\"

\"Is that so? Freya and Eevee, as well as Yuri and Elezin, look like a good match! \"

"Even if you look at them from the outside, they're clingy, and if you decide to leave them, I think they'll cry again."

\"I don't think so? ””

Indeed, I don't want to see that sad face again. But I can't help but wonder if it's right for me

"Just the two of us! Someday, please let us see how you two grow on the big stage, and when the time comes, we will fully support you"

Ms. Aoi clenched her fists and replied, which made me feel a little stressed, but I also apologized for not answering because of everyone's expectations. For some reason, Ibrahimovic liked him very much.

"Well, let's try again. Let's work together, Ievee. \"

"Nice to meet you, Elzun."

Buoy

"Eller"

Me and Ibu.

Yuri and Allerson.

Let's join hands and welcome new friends.

Hope and the others, who were watching from the sidelines, also laughed happily like their own. I was a little happy about it, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Daiki, it's time to go! I couldn't help it, but it took some time. Wait for me ~ second badge"

"Yes, yes, I'm not happy then I'm leaving."

Everyone bowed their heads and thanked Marie for her words.

\""Welcome""

With the words of Aoi-san and the others behind us, we began to set foot on the road to Bow Town.

Those words spoken behind our backs reassured us, gave us the best support, and gave us a warm push.

☆

"I went."

"Yes"

The four backs have shrunk to the size of a grain of rice. My first friend was about the same age as me. The last few days I spent with all of you were scary at times, but also fun and bright. Even though I knew I would see you again, I still felt lonely.

"Loneliness?"

"A little, uh, a lot."

"That's why I asked her to take a shower with me, but when Aoi came over, she was embarrassed and didn't do anything."

"Oh, that's what I'm for! I'm embarrassed!? How much do you think I've been whispering with Yuri and Mary!? \"

"It doesn't matter. Those two are cute, but Aoi is my proud daughter and she won't let me down, so I'm sure I'll be able to beat a boy or two."

"Where does the confidence come from!? What does it mean to give up!? \"

As always, I didn't understand the meaning of my mother's outlandish remarks.

"It's wasteful, isn't it? It's an opportunity to bond and I want to see my grandson's face as soon as possible."

"That's why you're so aggressive! And I'm only 13 years old, so it's too early!? ”

I know my mom feels a little guilty about my friend because she's close to my age and can't do what she does because of where she lives and what she does, and I know she did it because she was thinking about me, so I strongly apologize. I can't say. Still, there are orders. At the very least, I hope that my will and shame will be protected.

\"Still, Hejun and Fria-kun are very nice people, aren't they? There are not many such people. I guess that's what they're aiming for, though."

"Even grandma is already there"

Even my grandmother, who doesn't usually say such things, is starting to get angry. But of course

They are all good people

Although I have no life experience, I can tell that Hope's deep light and Frya's gentle kindness are rare people around you.

Most importantly.

To protect this safe house

I was attacked by very terrible people. I was attacked, and I was so shocked that I almost lost my courage. However, Frya and others stepped up and fought to protect us. In the end, taking into account my feelings, he lent me Little Majo. It's no exaggeration to say that I can't thank these people enough, they are my saviors. It's big, warm, and has a strong back that you can rely on.

When I think about the night before, my heart skips a beat.

What does it feel like? If I ask my mom, will she tell me?

But I'm sure it's something you have to realize for yourself.

It may take a lot of time to realize this. But I don't think there's any point in that.

I hope I'll find out soon

The feeling in my eyes was so dim that I couldn't see that back anymore.

Now think about it, what about Yongli and Mary? They say it's just travel companions, doesn't it look like they're lying? Well, let's get to work

My daily routine began slowly and restarting.

☆

"It smells like the salty sea and I feel a similar atmosphere in Myoki, but my role is completely different, so it could be something new"

"Is there something similar in Sinnoh?"

"It's a big port town. But unlike here, it used to be a naval facility, so it's a bit low-key, or rather cool and I would say it's very neat."

The neatly arranged streets have a man-made beauty and are spectacular, but since the use is to export minerals, there is a strong image of a factory-like mechanized machine, so you can't say that it really feels like nature. It's a one-of-a-kind sight. I love it because it's so cool to see the drawbridge rise every time a boat passes by.

On the other hand, judging by the boats lined up in the fishing ponds and harbor, Bow Town is clearly a port town centered on fishing. As a result, fish-based Pokémon and bird-type Pokémon targeting fish-type Pokémon can often be seen nearby, creating a landscape full of nature. I don't think the beauty of the sea will change much, but I think it's helpless that such a fishing port looks more beautiful than an industrial area. I think the lighthouse next to the port also makes it look stylish.

On the west side, there is a trendy residential area lined up, with a market and restaurants in the middle, so there are a lot of people passing by, and you can clearly see that it is quite lively. My first impression of Bow Town was that, overall, it was a bright and very interesting city.

The restaurants in the fishing port look delicious

I feel like I'm going to drool now.

Yuri's gaze was fixed on the restaurant, especially as she heard the sound of her own stomach from time to time. Well, considering I got all the way from the pantry here, I had to do that. It's almost night, but it hasn't been as long as I thought it would be to come out of the hosting store. After all, straight roads are somehow easier to walk. One of the reasons is that many roads along the way are paved with bridges and tunnels.

"Yuri, isn't it too early for dinner? Do you want to sign up for a gym challenge first? ”

"Oh, yes. I'll be patient a little longer. \"

Yongli's words made everyone smile wryly, and then walked towards Bau Stadium.

Unlike the Turf Stadium, the Bow Stadium is not located in the heart of the city, but at the end of a bridge that juts out into the sea and is surrounded by the sea, which makes it look very stylish, perhaps because of its light blue appearance.

Once you enter through the automatic doors, you'll notice that the interior isn't much different from the turf stadium. However, inside the stadium, although the number of players has decreased, the number of spectators has increased, so the population density is quite high. Since the Battle of the Turf Pitch, the number of fans seems to have increased even more. I know there's a special feature set, but I'm wondering if there's only one game that can change so much.

"Hey, here's the jump! He's the younger brother of the champion, so he's really strong! I'm looking forward to seeing the Bau Stadium. ”

"If that's the case, Yuri is also recommended as a champion because he is able to accurately identify his opponent's weaknesses and has good instincts to dodge his opponent's attacks\"

"Wow Marie, I've got your back"

"It's coming! It's Flia who has a theory that he's the only player who lets Yarrow use combos"

"After all, the recommendation of the Sinnoh region, and even the recommendation of the Sinnoh champion, is at different levels."

"I'm sure they'll show us more, and other gym leaders will probably take the opportunity to do their best, so I'll be keeping an eye on them this year!"

"This year has been truly successful, easily beating the average."
