Snorlax: I Do Not Kill in My Dreams~

Another dirty player.

Heiduo withdrew his gaze. He had not expected Longxing to like playing dirty too.

Mimikyu with [Disguise] plus [Protect]—who could handle that?!

Either this Mimikyu had overcome its inner demons and no longer cared.

Or Longxing and Mimikyu's Friendship was high enough that Longxing's wishes
