Coumarine City Youth Battle Tournament

Ten minutes later.

Heiduo hung up.

"He's still in Kalos?" Umbreon asked curiously.

Heiduo nodded. "But he's in Snowbelle City, practically on the other side of the world from here."

Kiley had sounded delighted to hear that Heiduo had arrived in Kalos and wanted to meet him.

Unfortunately, they were simply too far apart.

In the end, they agreed to meet in Lumiose City at some point in the future.

"Let's go."

Heiduo put the Pokémon Gear into his pocket and had Umbreon seal the door to the Secret Base.

He was already sick of the red sand on Route 13. It would be best to get to Coumarine City as soon as possible.

Apparently, it had the largest tree in the world, nearly several centuries old by now.

Skyarrow Gym had been built atop that tree.

The following noon.

Heiduo arrived safely in Coumarine City.

It was a small port city much like Olivine City and Vermilion City, with an endless view and a mild, pleasant climate. It was an extremely popular vacation destination.

Yunsheng's family also owned property here, though nothing as extravagant as their manor in Lumiose City.

"The sea breeze feels so nice!" Umbreon stretched lazily. The geography of the Pokémon world was truly strange. People in Lumiose City were still wearing thick coats, while people in Coumarine City only needed a jacket.

Facing the salty, humid sea breeze, Heiduo silently took off his fleece-lined coat and changed into a lighter jacket.

Coumarine City's most famous attraction was a mountaintop cliff. Countless people came before dawn to watch the sun rise.

Heiduo felt it would be a good place for Rockruff to evolve into Dusk Lycanroc.

That was, if they were lucky enough to see a "green flash at sunset."

At the Pokémon Center.
