Partners Forever

Oh, so it was you who originally caught that Morpeko for Marnie?

Yeah. As her brother, I'm so glad it looks like it's shaped up to be a good partner.

... ... ...

What's wrong? You look a bit sad.

Sorry. I was just thinking about something that happened to a neighbor of mine.

His younger sister had a Pokémon that she really loved, and it was given to her by their grandpa.

But then, this group that called itself Team Plasma came and stole it.

That's awful.

So her brother went out and did his best to get that Pokémon back for her.

But by the time they found it again, it had forgotten all about her.

But she was still really happy to see her Pokémon again.

That must've been hard... But y'know what? I bet it'll all be OK in the end!

It's her one and only partner we're talking about! I'm sure they'll be back to being best friends in no time.

Yeah, I'm sure they will!

What's wrong, Big Bro?

I was thinking that if anything ever happened that separated you and Morpeko...

Oh come on, crying about it won't help anything.

Thanks a bunch, everyone! Thank you for all of your support!

Wow, you're so popular with the crowd! No wonder they call you Miraculous Lisia.

Oh, hey there! Gloria, Marnie! You came here, too?

All that cheering from your fans was amazing. It reminded me a lot of my hometown.

Cheering made you think of home? Were you an idol, Marnie?

No, it's not that. There's a group there called Team Yell that would help cheer for me.

They used horns and banners to cheer her on!

Horns and banners? Like, fan merchandise?!

That's amazing! I wanna try cheering like that, too!

I know! How about I cheer for you at your next match, Marnie?

Sure! But you'd better be on top of your game!

If you're not one hundred percent into it, your voice might not be heard!

Let's practice it all together! Marnie, could you teach us how to cheer?

Yeah. I'll teach you some of the cheers Team Yell are so proud of!

You two really are strong!

I bet it's because of the experience you've built up battling so many Trainers!

Heheheh. Flattery will only make me blush, sonny!

You did a fine job, too! It's not often a Trainer becomes that strong at your age!

You were like a magnificent tree with its roots firmly planted into the ground. It was an excellent battle.

Yes, you showed us a marvelous battle. It takes more than just your average hard work to get that strong.

Could it be you had a very strong teacher guiding you?

Oh, absolutely!

My teacher had a strong passion that rivals yours!

Is that so? If that's the case, I'd love to battle them someday.

I'm sure he'd love to battle you, too!

What a sight it would be to see you battling my teacher! I'd love that!

And if possible, I'd also like in on the fun!

Sure! When the time comes, I will greet you with a power even more refined than today's!

I look forward to that!
