Pokémon: Adventures with Sirona

"Yes. She's lovely and taught me a lot about the island."

"It's sad to say goodbye to someone who has become a good friend, isn't it?

"Is it the same for Miss Isana?"

"Yeah, I'm not used to being a mother at my age."

"…I understand"

The sun that was about to sink into the horizon came into view, and Lucia narrowed her eyes slightly under the dazzling light.

I stroked Qilulu who was dozing off next to me.Lucia laughed at Kilulu, who twisted her body as if being tickled.

"I'm so excited to go to that island today."

"Did you catch anything?"

"I don't think what happened today has anything to do with it, but I think today's experience will definitely become my food, and I will never forget this rare experience."

"You're a very nice girl. I'm glad to meet you."

Today is also a very good day for Isana.He meets a rare Pokémon named Meow, befriends his idol Lucia, and most importantly, resolves a misunderstanding with his younger brother Kaim.

Chapter 77

"I have to learn from you too."

I've been avoiding it until now.I've been avoiding confronting Cam for fear that he'll visibly hate me.

But a girl of about ten sees and accepts the light and dark of the unknown.Then the embarrassing thing is that I am old, but I can't face my younger brother.I'm being touted as a genius, so at least I must be doing it right.

"The greed for superiority is very similar to that of an imperial chef."

"Isana-san, you know your uncle. What kind of person is your old uncle?"

"Old Mikuri~?

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, making the flowers bloom.

"You get along very well."

Sirona saw Lucia and Isana chatting in the cabin from the stern and said so.

"That's because you are my sister."

“I am delighted that it is Miss Isana who is steering the ship today.”

"…what"

Cam wiped his face, which was sticky from the sea breeze, with a towel.

Sirona took a breath and asked Cam.

"Hey Cam. Can you tell me what you're looking for?"

The hand wiping Cam's face stopped.

"Did you notice?"

"yes.

"She's sharp."

Cam put the towel back into his bag and replied while stroking Sirona's Gracia beside him.

"What are you looking for?"

"Dr. Okedo talked about the old man in Zion."

"About the master of that chart."

"I saw that sign and connected it to a lot of things."

He added that he didn't think they would be connected and started talking to Sirona about his findings.

"Dr. Oto said that the person who gave us this map was an old man in Zion Town, so I started to study the residents of Zion Town."

I showed Sirona the spreadsheet I had compiled on the tablet.

Sirona looked at them, her gaze resting on a name.

"This man's name is 'Fuer'"

"Yeah. People in town seem to call me 'Old Fuji. He's the landlord of the Pokémon House."

"So this person gave Dr. Oto a chart?"

"Well, then, 'Fuji,' The Old Man, and 'Island' signs. It's almost decided. I don't know why I'm the landlord of the Pokémon House."

For unknown reasons, it now takes on the role of protecting the Pokémon.The townspeople seem to love him.

"You did a lot of research."

"Anyone who can use the internet can understand that."

"So? There's more, right?"

Cam nodded and opened a page on his tablet.That page was the page I wrote an article on when the Rockets took over Zion Town a few years ago.

"Is this Team Rocket?"

"Yeah, it wasn't in the article, but someone was kidnapped by Team Rocket."

"never"

"Old Fuji"

Bai Nai slightly opened his eyes.

"Kidnapped by Team Rocket."

"It doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Sirona put her hand on her chin and thought for a while.

Genetic Research Meow Rocket Team Replicating Pokémon

Form a hypothesis based on some information.I propose a not-so-pleasant hypothesis.

"…I understand"

"Have you made an assumption?"

"Thank you."

Sirona held Cam's hand sitting next to her.Hands just tremble a little.

"I'm glad I didn't tell Lucia about it."

"What do you understand?"

"It is very possible that Dr. Fuji created a clone of Meow under the leadership of Team Rocket.

"In other words, Dr. Fuji's sponsor is the Rockets."

"Maybe. He might have connections to pretty deep darkness. With the Rockets, he learned something. Or he 'created something. It must be something he wasn't supposed to know, or something he couldn't process."

In any case, unlike other residents, Old Fuji was not imprisoned, but kidnapped.Otherwise, they wouldn't bother to limit it individually.

"I didn't expect that the former world authority would have connections with the Mafia."

"I can't say for sure, but it's very likely."

"That's all for today."

"This is also impossible. It has not been confirmed yet."

I grabbed Sirona's hand and she pursed her lips childishly.

Sirona lowered her eyes and continued.

"No matter who you are in this world, there is darkness in your heart. You never know what will bring out the darkness in your heart. And the darkness that is stretched will make you lose your mind and drive you crazy. Maybe Dr. Fuji has What a very important purpose, maybe his genetic research is also involved."

"Thoughts belonged to him alone. I don't know."

"I understand."

Sirona rested her head on Cam's shoulder.

The sun was setting on the horizon, illuminating Sirona's and Cam's faces with faint reflections.

"Do you regret going to that island?"

"No. That's the place I want to go. I also met a lot of people and learned the secrets of the world that I didn't know before. No matter what it is, if it is a real history, then it is not a reason for me to turn a blind eye."

Even if it is dark, it is a history full of people's thoughts, so Sirona firmly records it and puts it in perspective.So I don't regret going to that island today.I don't regret not being able to take Myuu along.But even so, I'm a little intimidated by what Dr. Fuji was thinking when he was working on e.

Dr. Fuji tries to achieve results even with the help of criminal organizations.I don't know what the reason behind this is, but since I'm also a researcher in a different field, I can't claim that I won't be stuck in the dark like Dr. Fuji.

The darkness in people's hearts.And there is a possibility that Cam and I will be swallowed.

Sirona and Cam are essentially good people.But I know people's minds can be easily changed.When she loses something important, won't Bai Nai be swallowed up by the darkness in her heart now?Are you relying too much on Cam?This idea has been simmering in my mind ever since I saw that sign and came up with a hypothesis.

"Sirona, are you afraid of becoming like Dr. Fuji?"

Cam said as if he had read through Sirona's thoughts.

In response, Sirona nodded slightly.

"Yes, I'm sure. Anyone who takes one wrong step can easily go astray and be lost forever. There are many records of this in history, but this time it is my own hypothesis. So I think it is important to It might be possible for me, too.”

"I see. Sirona is not the only one.

"Everyone has it. Me and you."

"Sirona wouldn't do that."

While talking, Cam stared at Gracia.

"How can you say that?"

"As long as I'm by your side, you won't go wrong."

It is equivalent to implicitly saying "I will always be by your side in the future".Hearing this, Bai Nai smiled slightly.

"What? Is it a marriage proposal?"
