When she heard her grandmother call Chen Shi childish, Cynthia couldn't help grumbling inwardly:
At your age, you're just as childish.
How can you have the nerve to say that about someone else?
Of course, Cynthia only thought those words. She certainly didn't dare say them aloud.
Otherwise, the old lady would have plenty more to say.
Somewhat amused, Doctor Carolina waved at Chen Shi and Garchomp. "All right, you two. Stop messing around."
At her words, Chen Shi and Garchomp each gave a cold snort and finally stopped trying to outdo each other.
Chen Shi returned to his seat opposite Doctor Carolina and said, "Grandma Carolina, when you have time, could you chat with my grandma more often? She really misses you."

Chen Shi knew that was the direction of the Sinnoh Region.
Grandma Chen missed home-or rather, she missed her old friend.

In fact, the reason behind that
