"But I didn't expect it to be so dangerous here"

"Maybe I agree with you. I can't believe everyone has such a bad temper."

I'm really curious how others managed to break through.

"Now, let's take a rest first, make sure everyone here recovers, be careful next time, don't happen like this again, even if we encounter the same situation, we must be able to fight a little bit." And control it"

"Yes, I agree with that. First of all, we need to regain our strength"

Mr. Savori agreed, so we decided to take a break for a while. I could pitch a tent, but I can't really pitch one here, so I'll call the rest of my people, but I'll take a quiet break. If you look to the side a bit, you'll see that Mr. Savouri is also calling out to all of his people, giving them mushrooms and stroking them. On the other side is Freya

"That?"

I thought there was no one there. I don't even see a shadow of Gimmeron. Look around. As expected, it wasn't there.

"What's going on?"

"Uh, did you see Freya?"

"Fria,? I definitely can't see her. Maybe it's just a person who quickly escaped through teleportation."

Freya would never do that. Don't do this to you. \"

"Isn't my situation getting worse?"

It is impossible for a person with a character who dares to confront others to do such a thing. However, I looked around and couldn't find anyone. In other words, what it represents

"Are you separated?"

"Seriously. That's the way it is. ”

"I—I see"

As it stands, we don't know where the second mine is. It seems that the road ahead is still bumpy, but now that I have come, I have to unexpectedly part of Julia, the person I rely on the most. What's more

"I'm just worried I'll be alone with Savouri"

"What does this mean?"

Something was calling me, but I ignored it and thought about what to do next. Because we didn't know where we were, I felt it was dangerous to act sloppily, and because of that, I didn't think it was safe to stay here either. If we can at least know how far away from the exit is, then it is still at least the standard of policy, but since we don't even know, we don't know what the right course of action is.

I don't know how Freya will judge in this situation

"Tuk Tuk"

“？”

Just as my head was buzzing, I suddenly heard a slightly high-pitched voice. When I turned around, I saw Mr. Savori crouched down slightly, holding his ankles.

"Mr. Savory!?"

I quickly approached her and asked her to look at my ankles. There, where Maggie had bitten before, there were clean and clear tooth marks. If you think about it, it's only natural that that kind of thing will bite you and leave such marks. I think I've been able to get this far because I'm in a state of excitement. Now that it's gone, I'm sure I'm going to be constantly hit by burning pain. I immediately pulled some simple healing tools out of my bag.

"Wow, I've been hurt so much"

"Okay, don't move, if the situation is serious, you won't be able to move."

We will continue to take urgent measures for temporary security. I let go of it after it bit me, so it wasn't that serious, so I thought it would heal quickly, but I wanted to take it to a Pokémon center or inn to rest as soon as possible. However, I can't force Mr. Savori to move, although I don't know where he is now. Finally stuck

Just then, you hear crunching footsteps.

”“！？”

In an instant, both my and Mr. Savori's expressions froze. The place is still inside the mine. If you are attacked by a wild Pokémon now, even if you are not a wild Pokémon, even if you are a malicious trainer, it will be dangerous. I thought at one point that Philia might come, but I couldn't imagine something so convenient happening. Now Savouri's leg is injured.

Since you can't escape, you can only defeat him

Gently hold the monster ball. That way, whoever or what's going on, it's going to be fine

Footsteps are getting closer. Eventually, Footsteps' true identity is revealed. As soon as the figure appeared, I tried to use rabbits

"Hey, you guys"

"Mr. Kub?"

When we see an unexpected figure, our time stops.

"Ibu is the 'Speed Star', Gimeron is 'Mizuno Hata', Kilia is the 'Magic Leaf', Mahomer calms down with 'Sweet Kaori'"

I kept shouting insults in order to mobilize everyone to respond.

The location is a slightly narrower road in the No. 2 mine.

Halfway through, I deliberately stayed away from Yuri and the others, trying to attract the monsters here, running into the narrow and intricate paths, so that they would be easy to spot. The reason is simple: to create a numerical advantage.

When fighting against a handful of opponents, the most important thing is not to be surrounded.

If you are surrounded, you will be attacked in 360 degrees, so you have to pay attention to your back and sides, you will not be able to cope with all the attacks. However, if it were a battle on a narrow and straight road, the story would be different. Even with 50 opponents, the limit is 1 to 1, or 2 to 2 in a tight situation. Even if there are a lot of people, if the space is small, the number of people who can fight in that place is already limited.

So my strategy is to run through the narrow passage and wait at the exit. The strategy is to intercept Pokémon that cross narrow paths before they come to you.

In doing so, since you are taking the narrow path, you can ambush many friends in an open area, and your opponent will be trapped in the narrow lane, so that you will be in a situation where you can only fight one person. Once. If this happens, the numerical advantage of the opponent is equal to non-existent. If this is done by the trainer, if the front one is scratched, switch to the back, recover when it descends, and then back to the front you can create an infinite loop, but the opponent is wild. He doesn't have that level of intelligence or strategy. What's more, if you can fight for a while and make the other person think they can't win, they will soon calm down and go home. This time was no exception, and as we continued this long battle, one wild Pokémon after another abandoned us and went home. Just then, the last turtle gave up on us and took a step back.

"Uh, I guess it's settled?"

"Buoy~"

"Mum"

"Ahaha, everyone is tired."

Neither Mahomer nor Ievee were injured except for Gimeron and Kiria, but perhaps after fighting for so long, they were also tired, and with my sigh, they finally relaxed and fell to the ground at the same time. Eevee, in particular, was outside from the moment she started to run away, so she stuck to me and ran out with me for the longest time. She may feel more tired than other children.

Now, I'm just giving Obon to everyone and doing what I can to help them recover.

"So what do we do now?"

Let's take a break and think about the future.

Of course, the first priority is to meet, but to be honest, I don't know much about the road, and I think Yongli and they run a lot, so I don't know how far it is. furthermore

Although it was to protect the two of us, I had distanced myself from it, and if I joined them, I was afraid that they would be angry, so I didn't want to

Recently, Yuori and Marie have been a little scary, so I'm starting to feel a little scared. Well, whether you get scolded or join, nothing happens unless you act first.

"Is everyone resting?"

Buoy

"Kill"

"Keim"

"Mum"

"Okay."

After making sure everyone was safe, I sent everyone back to their respective orbs and began to meet them along the path leading to the Second Garrell Mine. It felt extremely quiet and lonely, probably because the three of us were walking and chatting noisily all the time, being chased by a large number of Pokémon. The loneliness is further exacerbated by the sound of water echoing through the mine. Now that I think about it, the first time I traveled alone in this area was when I got off the plane, and it was the first time in a long time that I felt this feeling of quiet progress.

"I'm sure I don't hate traveling alone, but I really feel lonely"

When we were in the Sinnoh region, we met, separated, and met again, but here, everyone, especially Yuri, has been traveling together almost all the time since the Sleeping Forest. It's rare that we've been walking together for such a long time, and I'm happy with the atmosphere, so when we finally parted like this, I found that my trip with someone had a bigger impact on me than I thought. I don't mean it's bad, but it feels like it's getting more rounded, or rather, it shouldn't be hard, but it feels softer.

"Yes, I'm afraid to get angry, but I want to join you as soon as possible."

Before I knew it, my legs were getting faster.

The road hasn't been repaired yet, so it's usually hard to walk, but I don't mind and it's going well. My legs felt fine without any fatigue and at this rate I think I'll be able to join them soon. I don't have any basis for this, but I have a strong feeling that that's it.

\"

\"

"Hey?"

Someone's voice seemed to confirm this hunch. There seems to be someone in front. It also sounds like someone is talking, not a person. When I observe the people around me, I see that very few people participate in this gym challenge adventure in groups of two or more, and when this happens, it is inevitable that there will be voices of two or more people. It's louder. Most likely Miss Savory's voice.

"I don't think you're as far away as I thought. That's good, that's good. ”

Due to the winding of the road, it is impossible to judge the condition of the owner of the voice, but Mr. Savouri was bitten by Galal Maggio a while ago, so it is possible that he was injured. There's only a limit to what Yongli can do alone, so I'll rush to help.

I ran in the direction of the sound, skirting the curvy road and towards the end. Walking through the narrow path, I finally saw the owner of the voice.

"Hey, Yuri? \"

"Giant bear 'Tsujikiri'"

"Bonita, this is 'Yang Shengfeng'."

What catches your eye is the battle between the Galarian foal and the Galarian Muscle Bear.

Ran forward to attack, but the wind hit him and pushed him back. Fall and get back to the ball, but

"I'll fight next! Go for it, Fox."

"Cut, you're really persistent."

A second Foxley will be there soon. And not from the same trainer, but from different trainers.

The act of taking a break after a battle without regard to the tacit understanding was ridiculed as a violation of etiquette. It also makes sense to think about it, because if you do this, it will consume a lot of energy and put a huge burden on your Pokémon. In fact, Bonita has been fighting many battles now, and although she doesn't seem to have many injuries, her body is still very unstable. and

"You were recommended by the chairman of the committee, so you have so much leeway, right?"

"Yes, I can afford it. I don't care how many people come, I'm an insignificant person just like you. So, please, can you please not get in my way? I'm already with you, oh my god, it's annoying, 'Fairy Wind'! ”

A strong pink wind blows out from Bonita and hits Fox Lai. Trying to attack Gao Hua's technique

"Repadas, it's 'Ikamon'!"

"What!?"

"Poni!?"

Unexpected horizontal spears. As a result, the pink wind was drowned, and the explosion ended in failure.

It is a technique that makes it impossible to perform the same technique twice in a row. I can't use it here because I used Yosei's wind when I used Yosei's wind when I did the final blow to the giant bear before. Even if he used it, there was no way to do it, unless he used another move in the middle, but the opponent couldn't allow such a vacancy. First of all, the opponent has been trying to avoid a one-on-one situation. On Ponita's side, she was trying to engage in a one-on-one fight with Fox Ray, but Lepadas stood in her way. Lian Zhan was tired, and he couldn't react at all.

\"Repaldas, 'Miderhiki'"

Lepadas joins the attack as usual.

"If it doesn't matter how many people come, then it doesn't matter if I attend, right? It's not an official battle yet, anything is possible"

"Hahaha, stopping the players in this way, blocking their way, Marie will be easier to win to the end, it's really the strongest strategy"

Repadas approaches Bonita with open claws. Bonita also felt bad and tried to run away, but she seemed unable to run because she was too tired.

These guys

Clearly malicious way of fighting. To be honest, it's not a pleasant thing to do. And then

"Kilia"

"Kill!"

"Rappa!?"

"What!?"

Kyria slammed her "Suck Kiss" fist to the side of Lepadas. Repadas was struck by Gao Hua's technique and exceeded his expectations, and was knocked into the air and slammed into the wall.

"If it's possible, I can get in too, right? Aredansan? \"

"You're a Philia player"

"You"

They broke in, as if to declare war on the malt syndicate with extremely low morals. If you look closely, there are more shouting teams waiting behind the shouting team. I don't know how many people couldn't fight, but it looks like at least half of them couldn't. He also won against Mr. Savouri in the Galel Mine, and it seems that this man must be very strong. I turned to face the man who had cut half of the shouting group.

"Did you bother me? Defeat the player. ”

"Yes, absolutely. It's enough for me to deal with these guys alone. I don't need to stab them in the face. ”

"Oh, it's hard."

He alone pushed him to this point. He brushed his hair and muttered boredly, and although I thought it was rude, I couldn't help but laugh. It seems that he is still not very honest. Like the other day, I saw him sweating a little and it looked like he was sitting on the edge of his seat. And, from what I've just said, I've been trapped there for days, which means I've been ambushed by the Arley team as I pass through the mine, and I can't move on.

And although they were not defeated, by the time the whole army was destroyed, they were exhausted and needed more time, so as night fell, they were forced to return to Bow Town. Then, when I came back the next day, I waited in the same way for the cycle to repeat. Perhaps that's why beating the players doesn't make further progress. Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to be here now, because he may well have conquered the Bau Stadium before we did.

You'd love to head to Engine City right away, but it's too uncomfortable to be stuck in a place like this for days on end. Ale beer group. What a troublesome organization. but

Maybe if I keep reaching out, this person might be dissatisfied because of his character

What can I do in the face of this dishonest person so that it doesn't cause any harm? Choose your wording carefully.

"Are you still asking me to fight you?"

"You're very persistent, there's no need."

"I know it's not necessary. The problem is that you waste your time on something so stupid. Wouldn't it be more efficient to kill these guys and move on? ”

"If you look at the way they fight, it's clear that one of the best players can beat them alone. So, if I also attend here, we can reduce the time wasted. What do you think? No, don't you think it's a good idea? ”

While respecting the skills of others, I also show them the benefits of helping them. By doing this, you should be able to help him without hurting his self-esteem.

I hope this conveys how good it is

"Ugh"

The rhythm player sighed and shook his head. I don't care, but I think things look magical. He seems to be nice to me, so I don't have a bad impression of him, maybe if I said this to Yuri, he wouldn't understand.

"Okay. At least what you say makes sense. I'll forgive you this time, Julia??。 ”

"Thank you"

This completes the instant combination. I have a certain sense of pride in my strength. If one person can defeat half of them, then now I join forces with him, no matter how difficult they are, we will not lose, and we will be able to defeat them soon.

"Well, if things turn out like this, you won't have time. Personally, I'm pretty sure my resentment is going to grow, so be prepared. ”

"If you're talking about cheerleading, I think you should at least understand that if you don't respect the morals of the person you're cheering for, you're going to get Mary in trouble."

The rhythm player lowers his pony and releases. I just gave Kilia instructions.

"Come on, come on. \"

"Don't get carried away like a child"

It's starting to get interesting. I feel like I'm moving more than usual in this fight.

"Mibrim, this is the 'charismatic voice.'"

"Rem"

"Damn it, Fawkelai!"

Fox Ray narrowly avoided Mibrim's seductive voice. but

"Kiria, keep up"

"Kill"

I put my hand on the missed glamour sound, moved the trajectory, and hit the fox mine. This time, he couldn't dodge, and Fox Ray was hit, rolling on the ground, powerless to resist.

"Gunu, Giant Bear, 'Tsujikiri'"

"Kiria, catch"

The attack of the ominous blade of the black and purple mixture of the giant bear is wrapped in the kiss of the water with both hands, and uses the fairy dark technique while skillfully pushing in a similar way to stop the attack. To the white feather ..

"Mibrim, 'Leaf of Magic'"

Countless leaves pierced into the side of the Meath Bear, and the Meath Bear was caught and unable to move, his head tilted back, and the damage was greater than expected, as if it had hit the vital point.

"Use it."

"Thank you. Kyria\"

In order not to miss it, Kiria collects the magic leaves that fly around when she hits the giant bear and makes it into a sword that attacks the giant bear.

"Lepardas, help"

Lepadas rushes out to stop Kilia's attack. If this continues, Kiria will take damage, so she lowers her damage, but instead of running away in vain, she throws her sword and hits Lepadas and Masukuma, respectively.

"Mibrim"

"Rem"

At the Metronome's signal, the stuck magic leaf reverts to the state of a single leaf, and control of the magic leaf returns to Mibrim. In this way, Mibulim manipulated the "Magic Leaf" to create a leaf tornado that began to rage from the point where the sword was stabbed. Due to the force of the attack, Masuguma and Lepardas were unable to move. Of course, this opportunity is impossible to miss.

"Killia, 'Draining Kiss'"

He ran to the bear, who had little strength left, and plunged headlong into his arms. Storm of Demons cleanly opens Kiliria's path as she slips through the gap and slams the Muscle Bear with her fist stained in the Kiss of Suckering, making it impossible to fight.

"As expected."

"Of course."

\"Don't get carried away Repadas, 'How's the darkness?' ’”

"'Wall of Light'"

"'Charismatic Voices'"

Kiria deploys a wall to block Lepadas' attacks against the two animals. At that moment, he made a seductive voice and attacked Repaldas. Mibrim and Kilia ran out at the same time, while Lepadas was eating Tatara

"'Magic Leaf'"

The two monsters collect a large number of leaves at the same time, turn into a giant sword, and slam Lepadas with both swords. The overwhelming power attack made Repadas undoubtedly unable to fight.

This was the end of a long battle that lasted for 40 minutes. All members of the El Syndicate have just been wiped out by Kilia and Mibrim.

"That's right."

"Would it be right if we joined forces?"

"I—I can't believe it"

", this is Negru"

The tragedy shocked the El Group, but it was an undeniable fact that they were all destroyed. The only thing we could do was to run away, and everyone fled in panic.

"Well done, Kyria."

"Kill~"

"Go back, Mibrim."

"Rim"

There are no bullets here. That is, it is tiring to fight for 40 minutes straight. Both Kilia and Mibrim returned to their monster balls, letting out a cry mixed with exhaustion and the joy of victory rather than the joy of victory. Personally, I'm not as tired as I am in the gym, but I am also tired. Playing players has been playing for longer than me, so it may not be necessary.

"Well done beating the player"

"I'm not tired."

"Hahaha, I see."

"But well, I'm grateful."

"You're welcome."

I was surprised when a dishonest hitter unexpectedly thanked me, but I responded firmly. I'm a little happy.

"Of course, when you see it with your own eyes, it's really powerful."

"Of course, I was recommended by President Ross, and that's normal."

As it turned out, I ended up fighting alongside the fighters, but when I watched the fighters from the sidelines, I saw that their skills were solid. The fact that he alone can defeat half of Team El is proof enough. After all, the players are all psychic types, just like salty. This means that while the El team's affiliations are mostly dark, they are strong enough to defeat half of them.

The psychic type is weaker for the dark type. It's also special.

The damage they take is very great, and their attacks are not only bad, but they are not effective at all. In other words, it doesn't even take 1 damage to Fawkeley and Garrell.

Our main weapon does not work. Still, he killed half of the army. Such a person cannot be weak.

I'm happy to see him play alongside him today. I'm really looking forward to fighting with this.

"So, let's move on, shall we?"

"Please wait"

"Yes?"

With the departure of the Ale team, there was no reason to stay here any longer, and I was about to move on when I unexpectedly heard the voice of one of the best players telling me to wait. When I turned around, he put his hand on his chin and asked me a question in a whisper so I could hear him clearly.

"Why are you helping me?"

The content is about the reason why I reached out.

"That's because I'm a little annoyed with the cheerleaders, they fight unfairly. It's a shame that a great player like this is hindered by a bunch of cowards. ”

"It's okay, if your eyes are lying no, you seem to have that feeling, but you say your real feelings are different. What exactly is your purpose? ”

I couldn't help but be silent as I chased the best players.

Psychic users generally possess some sort of ability as a trainer. The fact that Mr. Savori can do something similar to telekinesis to make the monster ball float is probably a good proof of that. Mr. Gao Yang, one of the four heavenly kings of Sinnoh, must also have some kind of power. Just like that example, the defeated player may also possess some kind of ability.

There is, of course, another reason to lend a helping hand. But it's not enough to hide it, let's be honest.

"I'm sure there's another reason, but isn't it interesting to ask about this? After all, I just want to return the favor. ”

"Repay the favor?"

The rhythm player looked confused, as if my words weren't true. Indeed, from a human point of view, if he has done nothing and someone asks him to return the favor, he will most likely shake his head. But if you think about it, it becomes obvious.

From what I've heard from fighters and teams, the team's purpose is to hinder the fighters and prevent gym challengers other than Mary from advancing. In other words, theoretically, if no player other than Mary is able to complete the Gym Challenge, then Mary will win unconditionally. It's a crazy theory, but it makes sense. However, when I think about it, I sometimes get stuck.

Why is the only defeated player in the fight?

In addition to beating the players, there were many more who breached the Bau Stadium. According to Miss Lulina, the number of people, including me, must have been in the double digits. This is even something that HOP has surpassed. But the fact that I'm not here means I'm not stuck. If you want everyone but Mary to drop out, it's normal to stop everyone. However, there was no sign of anyone else, and even we didn't see any members of the Ale Group in the second mine until we saw the player beating here. It could be because he was with Mary that he was able to get out, or maybe it was because he didn't have that many players, but if that was the case, there was no reason why only the players in the lower bracket couldn't get out. So why haven't others been attacked?

Isn't it because the hitters single-handedly stopped the entire Yell team from coming here?

Even the Yale team, which was supposed to be an outlier, accepted him against his wishes. That's why I stayed and fought. So everyone else was able to break through safely.

It's strange not to give in.

"Thanks to you, we were able to leave the second mine safely. So, I'll repay you, okay? ”

One of the best players looks incredulous. It's just the result of the thoughts in my head. Maybe it's a different story. However, if there is even the slightest possibility, I should thank you here.

"Are you a fool?"

"Aha, maybe so."

"Ugh"

The rhythm player sighed again. Is it really that shocking? This was a bit unexpected.

"Indeed, I am saved, and I thank you again."

The rhythmist moves on, giving a slightly twisted answer as usual. Just like I have no reason to stay here, there is no reason for him to stay here. His back slowly parted.

"Only the last two things."

"Yes?"

A rhythmian stopped to speak to me.

"You don't have to call me Beate. I'll call you Freya too. ”

"Okay!"

"The next time we meet, I will definitely beat you."

"yes, I'm looking forward to it."

"Then"

Now it's time to hit the player and leave, no, it's back. However, the distance between me and Da has narrowed a little closer. That's how I feel.

"Well, I have to be with Yuri too."

My legs feel lighter. "I want to know where you are"

After defeating Are's group, it took a few more minutes to walk through the second Galel Mine. Although his steps were light at first, he couldn't fully keep up with Yuri's pace, and he was a little impatient. I don't remember the route, but I feel like I'm back to the familiar landscape, so I feel like I'm close

"I don't know if they'll get to the exit first."

It is likely that he has been fighting Bit for quite some time. Or did he return to Baudun after learning that Mr. Savori had been wounded?

"Back or forward, it's 1/2, but I can't choose because if I miss it, it hurts too much I think so, because we should get out of that area"

When I left the place where I deliberately parted lanes to attract wild Pokémon, I looked left and right. There are so many forks in the road that it can be hard to know which way to go. It would be nice if there was some kind of landmark, but I don't think that's possible.

"I hope there are at least some clues"

Even if you can't leave anything behind after you've walked through it, it's easy to notice if there's an unnatural scratch or two on the rock surface, but of course there's no such thing, and you end up walking like that. Random, no other options. Shaking my head, I tried to open my legs and look again

Buoy

"Eevee?"

Eevee happily jumped out of the monster ball.

"What happened?"

When Eevee started asking me something cross-legged, I wondered if it wanted to sit on my shoulder again? I picked it up and slowly placed it on my shoulder. Then, as if that wasn't what he meant, he deftly moved from his shoulder to the top of his backpack and began to dig in.

"What the hell is going on?"

It doesn't look like it's going to fall off because it's shifting weight, but it's dangerous if it does, so I put my backpack on the ground and let Eevee do what I want it to do. Putting it on the ground, I got into the backpack so it was easier to dig and started digging into the contents more aggressively than before. Items that aren't what you want will be thrown away, so line them up so you can pick them up and put them back in your bag right away.

I don't care, but Eevee's face buried in her backpack and her tail swaying in the wind are so cute.

Eevee watched this for a while, and finally came out of his backpack with something in his mouth.

"Bofin?"

"Boo"

Eevee was holding a bag of puffins in his mouth. It's not the same as what I gave Yuri, it's not just one flavor, it's a bunch of colorful muffins with multiple flavors.

"Do you want to eat?"

"Booy!"

Eevee shook her head and replied. Then Eevee seemed to point to something. Other than that, there is only a piece of blue ore buried on the surface of the rock, or rather, where you are pointing

"Blue, maybe?"

Take the blue puffin out of the bag. This is the color that is given so that it is easier to understand its taste. Bring it to Ibrahimovic and show her.

"It's okay?"

Buoy

Apparently it was something that was wanted, and Eevee happily approached the blue puffin to hear what it meant. He approached the puffin until his face almost touched it, and then snorted. After doing this act for a few seconds, probably sniffing the puffin, Eevee ran a little ahead and barked energetically.

"That's the direction, right?"

"Buoy~"

Eevee happily answered my words and took a few steps forward. I walked forward, feeling the trust of the figure behind me.

All Ievee does is memorize the scent of Bofin and follow that scent. You might be wondering if something like this will get you there, but I gave Yongli a lot of puffins yesterday. In addition, there are a lot of blue puffins. Eevee remembers this and asks for a blue puffin, as she realizes it can be used to track scents. Even if the puffin in the bag is only a few days old, its strong aroma does not disappear easily. Especially when the bag is filled with a lot of things. In this case, for Eevee, its sense of smell is probably better than that of humans, and this smell acts as a signpost more than anything else. It was because Eevee realized this that it jumped out of the way and asked for permission to smell Boffen's scent.

Although they say they have only recently hatched from eggs, I don't think so.

Although it had only been about seven days since it hatched from the egg, Eevee was already so reliable that it looked a little strange.

Pokémon grow very fast.

As I followed Ibrahim, I could somewhat understand the feelings of parents watching their children grow up. Along the way, the mages will attack you from time to time, but if there are only a few, you can easily repel them, so protect Eevee who is in centralized command while fighting.

After continuing to walk for a while, I gradually saw the shadows of people working in the No. 2 Mine, as well as the shadows of people passing by the Bau Stadium, and possibly the shadows of the challengers of the gym. I don't know if I'm close to the exit, but it's definitely back on track.

Maybe he's getting closer to Yongli and the others.

"Shh

"Oh, wait, Ievee"

Thinking of this, Eevee suddenly screamed happily and began to run. Although it is not particularly fast, it is flexible and small, and if you miss it, you will have trouble. I quickly chased after Ievee, my eyes fixed on it, not letting it out of my sight.

"Shh

After progressing to a certain level, Ibu's cheerful voice rang out again. Familiar sounds can be heard nearby. Next time it's going to be Yongli and Savouri. The best evidence of this is that Ibrahimovic is wagging his tail.

"Eevee~, have you found Yongli and them?"

"Boo"

It must have been discovered by Eevee's reaction, and it turned around and jumped up to tell me. It seems that my long solo journey through the cave is finally coming to an end. This time I crossed the corner and met Yuri.

\"Yuri~, Savori~, sorry to keep you waiting\"

"Not only that, but my body"

\"But I can't walk without riding it, Miss Savouri, please be patient\"

"When I arrive, my body will be turned into charcoal and transported to the afterlife."

\"But Miss Savouri, I don't have anything else to bring\"

"No, my Trogun is not a means of transport."

Yuri pulled Mr. Savouri and Mr. Kabu, the gym curator of Engine City, the next destination, clutching his cheeks with a bitter smile on his face. Aside from Yongli and Miss Savori, I didn't expect Mr. Kabu to be there.

Engine Stadium, Gym Leader Cub.

His gray hair and wrinkled face were imposing, and unlike Miss Lulina and Miss Yarrow, he was quiet, but with a gentle pressure that made one feel like he was burning violently.

The current situation is making it impossible for me to concentrate.

"Oh, you"

\"Ah, Freya\"

\"Ahh You've come to the right place, I'm going to give you the right to help me now, please help me quickly\"

"You know~"

Kabusan gave me an expression of interest, Yuri gave me a look of joy, and Savorisan gave me a pleading look. When I received the gazes of three people at the same time, I was confused about which one to react to.

I see, it's a mess

First of all, I would like to say a few words to Yuri, he can respond immediately.

"I'm sorry we separated. I'm worried about you. You okay? ”

\"yes. As you can see, I'm fine. Miss Savouri had a little leg injury, but other than that\"

\"Hurt Savorisan, are you alright? \"

"Uh, yes. It's just a bruise. Yongli-san is dealing with it, so\"

Looking down, I did have bandages around my ankles. Judging by the location, it must have been bitten by Galamaggio. However, he seems to be able to stand up a bit, and it doesn't appear that his injuries are serious. It's a blessing in disguise.

\"Then, while I was thinking about how to move with the injured Mr. Savouri, he came to me\"

"That's what you mean, Mr. Cub."

"Yes"

Through Yongli's words, I understood the current situation. Judging by the small battle marks around it, it seems to be protecting Savouri from wild Pokémon.

\"Thank you, Kabusan. \"

"No, don't worry. I just happened to be passing by. And, even without me, with Yuri's abilities, you should be able to intercept most of the Pokémon here. Isn't it, Freya? \"

"My Name"

Even though I didn't say my name, Kabusang guessed my name. Sure enough, news about the Gym Challenger has been circulating everywhere. As always, I couldn't get used to this treatment, which made me nervous. I feel a bit like a celebrity.

"After all, I want to thoroughly study the players who are on the radar. Especially if they're from other regions, it feels a little familiar to me. ”

Kabu - Born in the Hoenn region. So, indeed, he's from a different place like me, so it's natural to catch your attention.

'Well, I'd like to talk a little bit about it, but first we have to transport the Savouri players. Although the injury is not serious, it is best to get the leg injured as soon as possible. For gym challengers, and even adventurers, feet matter. Because it's important. ”

"Probably."

Mr. Bear's story is interesting, but let's start with the priorities. I'll have to carry Mr. Savouri out.

"Look, that's why I decided to ride Trogon"

"That's why I said you'd be burned."

"By the way, Mr. Kabu, how many times is Trogon? \"

"It's hard to say that the caveman itself can spew flames of about 1,000 degrees Celsius."

“1000”

””

Yes, I think you're right about charcoal.

"It's all right, Mr. Savory. You can handle it. ”

\"Yongli-san, aren't you desperate!? \"

"That being said, the surface temperature doesn't seem to be that high, Miss Savouri, can you reach Engine City with those feet?" \"

"Of course you can walk, as long as it's not that far. \"

I looked at Mr. Kabu to hear his answer to that part, though quiet but clear, but

"Unfortunately, we still have a long way to go. We're a little off the line here, and the foundation isn't good. I think it will be a struggle to continue down this path. ”

"Then I think"

"I really don't recommend putting it on top of the coal you carry, though, it looks dark and it's very hot. I don't think I can really recommend it. ”

"You see, I knew that I would appreciate it if someone could take me around, but I don't like it when it's hot."

"Things would have been different if I had brought Wendy or, but unfortunately, I didn't bring them right now."

Mr. Kabu said in an apologetic voice, although he had a bitter smile on his face. Although Mr. Kabu is not bad, he said such things so casually, which makes me think that he must be a very kind person. However, as Mr. Ka'b said, if I go further from here, I will be worried about Mr. Savori's health. We can't carry Mr. Savouri on our backs because he's tall and big and he's quite heavy, so we probably can't carry him on our backs because we don't have the stamina and that's going to be quite a problem.

But actually, I don't think I'm too worried about that.

"It's okay, Mr. Kabu. I actually have an idea. \"

\"！？ ””

"Legal?"

When I said this, Mr. Kabu seemed interested, and Mr. Yongli and Mr. Savouri listened in amazement.

"Is there a way to do this?"

"As long as I don't get burned, anything"

"No, to be honest, I want Mr. Savori to notice"

“！？”

Mr. Savory was even more surprised, but to be honest, I thought he had tried. I don't think I really noticed the situation.

"Come on, come on, hurry up, Mr. Savouri, get your things out! I'll take it out too. ”

"Handheld...?"

"Okay, hurry up"

"Uh, yes, come on, jungler!"

"Please do it again, too. Kilia! ”

I called Kilia, and Mr. Salty called Jun.

"Yes, it's a good Pokémon. I think I can do it with this."

If Jungger's mental output was high, the strategy I had in mind might have worked. Together with Kilia there should be enough strength. It could be a little suspicious if Coromori or Galagliaton appear in this game. To perform this strategy, you need a proper foot speed and more strength. Both of these conditions are met, so it should be fine.

"Yes, I get it but what exactly?"

"Yes?"

It looks like you haven't noticed yet.

"Are you really a psychic mancer?"

"Is this what you want!?"

"Okay, that's good. So, let's go right away. ”

"Are you sure you can give it to me?"

"It's okay, I'll keep you safe, let's go."

"I'm a little worried?!?"

It was a bit noisy, but I ignored it. Anyway, I forced myself to start my strategy.

"That Miss Freya? \"

"What? I think it's pretty safe and comfortable."

"Yes, this mode of transportation is really safe, and I am surprised that there is such a way."

Junger lifted it, and Kilia held it up, and that did make sense. Moreover, this does not put any pressure on the affected area. ”

"Look, it's perfect."

"Maybe, but I'm really embarrassed!? \"

I walked through the second mine and was a little annoyed by the complaints that were a little better than ours. I hope you don't complain because I'm transporting it safely as required.

A strategy that I came up with. It harnesses psychic type power to levitate and carry Mr. Savori himself. Techniques such as telekinesis and nerves are not just techniques that can be used in Pokémon battles, but also techniques that can be used to move or deflect objects. I've also heard that some psychic gym directors always keep a Pokémon next to him and let the kids float around as he moves. It seems to be very bad for my body because my legs get weak very quickly, but well, I don't care about this right now. The point is that now, with the power of these telekinesis Pokémon, the saltiness is being floated and slowly taken away. Of course, not all Pokémon can do this, but they need to be able to generate enough power to make people float, and they also need to have a minimum foot speed to carry them. The reason I said before that you can't use n is because you don't have enough strength and it's too slow. In this respect, Kiria and Jun met both of these requirements, so it didn't matter. However, Kyria's output is a bit uneven, so this time it's up to her to help. As a result, even now, Mr. Savori is lying in the air, moving horizontally, as if lying on an invisible bed. Thank you that we were still able to travel so safely, so I would like to express our gratitude to Mr. Savori.

If I'm in the opposite position, I'm embarrassed to death, so I won't thank you. Because if you look at it from the outside, it seems surreal to be able to move horizontally in the air.

"No, although it is safe, it has attracted a lot of attention some time ago, and the suction power of Yubi and Maray is also amazing"

"Can you go on your own, then?"

"Uh, can you at least lower the height and keep me in an upright position?"

"Cub mulberry. How far is it from Engine City? \"

"About ten minutes, right? It's not far from the exit. ”

"Please don't ignore me!?"

In the long run, my heart will be mentally shocked, I say so, but as long as I can say it, it's fine. It may be a bit rough, but as I said before, it's true that this is the only way to transport it safely, so please be patient. It is also said that it is best to elevate the affected area above the level of the heart, so when you think about it, this system makes the most sense. More specifically, at first glance, even those of us who are with such a suspicious person are being looked at with strange eyes. It would have been nice to have Kabusan around, but we still get a lot of attention, so to be honest, we're embarrassed too. It was therefore regrettable that Mr. Savori did not have the right to veto the proposal.

"However, this Kyria and Jun are both well raised, and it is really a Pokémon worth paying attention to."

"Thank you very much. We are proud friends. ”

"Yes. The power to carry people, and the technical ability to deliver a stable output without hurting people, I don't think either of these things can be achieved overnight. Yuri was aware of this before I noticed. It was at that moment that I realized how superb his perception was. It seems that this year's Gym Challenger has really gained a lot. ”

I was certainly happy to be praised so freely, but my awkwardness got the upper hand over me, and Yuuri and I couldn't help but make eye contact and become shy. If the person who praises him is the little cub who is known as the door to success, it will be even harder.

"However, I actually thought that Yongli and Freya would take on the challenge with Hope and Mary\"

"Did they—did they find out we're together?"

"Is that all the rumors are circulating?"

"Gymnastics challengers usually work alone, and even if you don't like four well-known athletes coming together, you're still going to get a lot of attention. Especially since you guys seem to get along very well. ”

"Actually, we get along very well! That's right, Freea. ”

"Yes. I'm proud to be a friend. ”

Even though we were together for a short time, we still spent a lot of time together, and I'm proud that we got along very well, even though we met very late. Maybe that's why I'm glad to hear people say things like that.

"Ah, by the way, how are they, Hope?"

"They broke through the engine stadium yesterday and moved on. They fought a very good fight. ”

Mr. Kabu's expression on the answer to this question was very happy, and I could clearly see that his previous answer was not a lie.

"Thanks to you, I'm a little excited, so I'm here today for special training."

"Kabusan, are you here for special training? \"

"Ahh

Mr. Kabu placed his hand on a nearby wall and answered Yongli's question.

"Because we are close to the ocean, there are a lot of water-based Pokémon living here. Water-type Pokémon are weak for the Fire-type Pokémon I use, which is why by fighting such an opponent, we can improve our fire to burn more violently and higher than water can extinguish it. ”

Mr. Kabu replied with clenched fists, showing no signs of decay with age, but exuding a threat that had only been experienced.

I feel like I've got to the root of why it's called the door to success.

"Of course, our fire will warmly welcome you. These two are recommended by Sinnoh and Galar's respective champions, and there is no shortage of others, oops. \"

Hearing Mr. Ka'b's words, I turned my gaze ahead and saw the exit from the Galel mine.

"As soon as you pass by there, there is a Pokémon Center, you just let him rest there, you have to take a good rest before you can go to the challenge."

I nodded at Kabusan's words and walked through the exit. You'll feel the unique glare as you walk from the dark to the light, but when the glare fades and you look ahead, the view of Engine City feels a little nostalgic. As Mr. Cub said, we also found a Pokémon Center around the corner from Engine City. Now I can give Mr. Savouri a rest. Gler and Kiria are also tired of using their powers all the time, so I need to help them.

"Thank you today, Kabu-san. \"

"Thanks to you, we were able to return here safely, thank you very much."

"Don't worry, I just happened to be passing by."

Even so, he did act as a bodyguard while carrying Mr. Savory on his back, protecting him until I was able to join him. I have to thank you so much.

"Thank you very much, though."

Yongli and I bowed our heads firmly. Although I could hear Mr. Ka'b's wry smile from above, I couldn't compromise on this point.

"Yes, thank you if you have to, this battle is fierce, can I expect it?"

Even though he was supposed to be the leader of the gym, he made provocative remarks, as if he were challenging us. The pressure gets bigger. We couldn't help but gasp. But for some reason, this pressure feels good

\"Yes""

Before I knew it, I was happy to answer. Satisfied, Mr. Kabu continued in the direction of the Engine Stadium.

"I have to win to catch up with Hope."

"Yes"

When we look at his huge, quiet, yet violently burning back, we also burn with the same fighting spirit.

"Can you let me down?"

"Are you really that bad to me?"

I completed the task of the gym with lightning speed, and I was worried that the good day would end safely, and the next day would be a big day. In the silence of the waiting room, I took a deep breath and waited patiently for this moment.

After all, the name "Success Gate" is just a pseudonym, and I didn't see anyone winning in the video I looked up as a countermeasure. One of the main reasons was that I hadn't watched Jump fight his friends, just because I was looking forward to seeing how strong they would get later, but even so, I still thought they had surpassed the young beast San as he is now. I didn't see anyone there. I haven't seen it at all, so much so that I wonder who was the first to break through.

However, Jump and others are winning. So we have to move on.

It's true that I can't imagine Kabusang losing, but that doesn't mean it's okay if I lose. At least, even if I don't see it, there are people winning. If that's the case, even I can overcome it.

"Player Freya, I'm ready, please come in."

"yes, okay"

Put your hands together on your cheeks and pat them to get momentum. As I walked through the automatic doors towards the battlefield entrance to the Engine Stadium, the slightly hot cheeks and body let me know that I was in good shape.

Dimly lit hallways with little light. In the distance was a reddish-brown battlefield, the light dim to the eye.

Once you step in there, it's finally begin.

Close your eyes, place your right fist in front of your chest, and breathe deeply to further improve your focus. That's when I felt someone by my side.

"Suha"

The sound of breathing in unison can be heard even next door. You know what it is even without seeing it with your own eyes. There is only one person in this place who can be with me.

"You're not surprised I'm here, are you?"

"It's famous. When Mr. Kabu participates in the gym challenge, he always enters through the entrance of the challenger. \"
