At the same time, far away at Stow-on-Side Stadium in the Galar Region.
Although Xia You had made it clear that the Don George Fighting Tournament would take place next month, Bea ended her training immediately upon hearing the news and returned to the Gym to start packing.
She knew it was too early to pack, but she could not help it, because... she simply could not settle down.
Bea had thought that years of training would make her heart as still as water, but that was simply impossible.
After parting with Xia You last time and returning here, she had been unable to settle down for a long time. Her thoughts had wandered for days, leaving her unable to get into the right frame of mind.
Only later, perhaps because she had calmed down, with nothing but time to keep her company and everything fading away with it, had she finally been able to devote herself to training again.
But receiving another message from Xia You had stirred her heart once more.
Only then did she realize that time had not made her forget Xia You. It had merely hidden every trace of him, and when an opportunity came, those traces would emerge far more powerfully than before, growing wildly and disturbing her heart.
Just like now.
Ever since receiving the news, she had had no heart for training. With her thoughts in turmoil, how could she possibly stay put?
She could neither sit nor stand at ease.
She could neither eat nor sleep in peace.
So, after eating one of her favorite desserts, she decided to leave for Unova right away!
Perhaps...
If she were closer to that man, her heart would be a little calmer.
