Just as Yamato hesitated over whether to step into the Gym, lit by dim lights and so quiet a pin drop could be heard.
Calyrex seemed to remember something and lightly reached toward its side.
A long piece of fabric eerily floated in front of it.
If Luo Mu had been here, a careful look would have revealed that this piece of fabric was the white cloth covering the dining table at home.
There was even an oil stain along the edge, left behind when Snover had accidentally made a mess during lunch.
Oranguru had been a little busy that afternoon, so it had not yet taken it to Politoed to remove the stain with Bubble Beam.
With a thought from Calyrex, the white cloth, which spun up and down under the influence of invisible Confusion, seemed to gain a will of its own. It gently wrapped around its body, taking the shape of a cloak.
The attached hood also completely concealed Calyrex's head in darkness.
—At least, that was what it looked like in terms of shape and size.
This level of disguise is still necessary.
Calyrex silently thought.
It had discussed this with Oranguru as well. While taking on Luo Mu's work as Acting Gym Leaders, they would both disguise their appearances to a certain extent.
It was not because they thought their appearances were unsuitable to be seen, nor because they felt that Pokémon commanding Pokémon battles might be inappropriate.
They did not care about the opinions of outsiders.
They simply remembered Luo Mu's original intention, which he had spoken to them about many times.
A peaceful, leisurely life.
Even though they all knew that, with Luo Mu's strength, accomplishments, and bizarre luck of causing trouble wherever he went, that wish would probably be difficult to fulfill.
