One of the green-haired boys said loudly, "I'm telling you, my dream is to become the strongest Bug-type Trainer, just like Eichi."
The others laughed. "You? How could that be possible? Hahaha."
"I'm dying of laughter. You think you can?"

At that moment, Eichi walked over and asked, "May I ask, where did Eichi's title of Bug King come from?"
The boys immediately took a liking to Eichi upon seeing him. The green-haired boy said, "Teacher Arno told us about it."

"To become a man like the Bug King."

After thinking for a moment, he said to the green-haired boy, "All right, thank you for your answer."
"By the way, if you have a dream, work hard for it. It doesn't matter if others laugh at you."

the green-haired boy asked.
Eichi turned around and said, "I'm Eichi!"
Then he turned back and continued walking away.
It took the green-haired boy
