Scheduled Battle

"Oh?"

Tetsuya raised an eyebrow. "What did he say about me?"

"A very talented guy, and very arrogant."

Wallace's words carried a trace of amusement.

Though Tetsuya could not see the expression beneath that thoroughly concealed face.

Wallace was probably in a pretty good mood.

He looked nothing like Steven had described—at his wits' end over how to resolve his romantic troubles.

Of course.

So far, no one seemed to have ever seen Wallace without a smile on his face.

This top Coordinator believed in maintaining a calm, smiling state of mind no matter the situation.

Even at the most intense moments of battle, a faint smile still lingered on his face.

That had a major effect on his opponents' morale and mentality.

Quite a few people considered it one of Wallace's tactics as a Trainer.

Tetsuya shrugged and bluntly mocked, "I'm such a humble person, yet he called me arrogant?

"Sure enough, digging rocks underground all day really does dig a hole in your brain."

"Hahahahahaha."

Wallace was amused by his words.

He nodded solemnly. "I think so too. His train of thought can be pretty unclear sometimes."

In friendships between men, bad friends often made up the majority.

Wallace did not mind making a joke out of Steven's hobby over such trivial matters.

Just as Steven had complained to Tetsuya that Wallace's outfits had absolutely no sense of beauty.

Even though the latter's fashion was the trendsetter of the Hoenn Region.

"I heard you had some disputes with Team Aqua these past few days?"

Leaning against a nearby wall, Wallace asked casually.

Tetsuya was not surprised that Wallace knew about something that had happened only a few days ago.

Given his status and position, it would have been stranger if he did not know.

Don't forget.
