The Top Trainer's Sense of Urgency

Days later...

Brrr. It's so cold here.

Is Red really training in a place like this?

Yes. I confirmed it through reliable sources.

They said the living legend has been training around this area.

Is that so? I've always heard he's rare to come across and hard to pin down.

It's hard to imagine Red would stay in one place.

What was that noise?!

Mr. Rose! It's coming from over there!

That's...

Three-on-one training? He must be giving them an advantage.

From the look of it, though...

The three sync pairs he's up against are also talented Trainers.

... ... ...!

Wow!

... ... ...

Here's a question for you all. Does he always train like that?

Red's always doing tons of intense training, so that's nothing new.

But this time, he seemed a little different.

What do you mean?

He called us all up right after his battle with Leon.

When we went to see him, he asked us to train with him. He looked even more serious than usual.

He seemed a little on edge, as if he felt he needed to do better.

And even now, it's the same.

I hear he asked a lot of other folks to train with him, too, not just us.

He's been battling nonstop, even cutting back on sleep!

Maybe his battle with Leon sparked something in him.

... ... ...

(The way he's standing with his back to us...)

...I see.

I think I understand what Blue was saying now.

Blue? What did he say?

He said Red and Leon are alike!

Whaaaat?!

(Impressive.)

(Even though he beat Leon, he's not getting comfortable.)

(It's incredible he still feels that sense of urgency and is looking for ways to improve.)

(Will Red keep his lead? Or will Leon catch up and surpass him? It's hard to tell!)

Chairman Rose. Perhaps you should mention your offer.

Oh, of course!

Red! Do you have a moment?

I have a proposition.

... ... ...

Excellent! Thank you!

I'm sure the next battle will be the best yet!
