Life Is Hard, Pichu Sighs

A routine greeting to the miserable corporate drone Yun.

The corporate drone said he would be there on the day of the finals. Of course, he was not just going to watch Heiduo's match, but his sister's as well.

That guy really thought Heiduo and Longxing would only meet in the finals.

Where did that confidence even come from?

Heiduo had not gone to see Longxing, but she had come to him herself. They met in the corporate drone's office.

The two stared at each other in silence, but both could see the blazing fighting spirit in the other's eyes.

Their rivalry made the cramped office's atmosphere heavy, leaving corporate drone Yun caught awkwardly in the middle.

Fortunately, Heiduo did not stay long and left after a short while.

Ruby was at school.

He did not want to look for Elena.

After realizing he had nothing to do in Goldenrod City, Heiduo left on Charizard and flew toward Mahogany Town.

He had to see how Silver was doing.

Gold and Crystal both had people who cared about them, but Silver had no one!

The only person who loved him was still in Kanto, doing who knew what.

That was what Heiduo had originally thought.

"You actually came back to Johto?"

Heiduo arrived in Mahogany Town a little after two in the afternoon and stared at Blue in the Secret Base in disbelief.

And at Silver beside her, acting like a well-behaved child.

Blue broke into a broad smile. "Of course! I can't stay in Kanto forever and leave Silver all alone in Johto."

The Elite Four arc would take place next year, when Red was thirteen. Red was only twelve now, so Blue had not yet begun making plans involving Yellow.

"Oh my, you even bought so much stuff. Thanks
