1. Bakushin! Class Representative!
61 linesThe sun's shining, and the sky is clear. Bolstered by the pleasant weather, I happily make my way to the trainers' office, when I hear a sudden cry.
You there! Move it, move it, MOOOVE IT!
...?!
Stomp, stomp, stomp!
Skid!
I hardly have time to react before the Umamusume approaching me at breakneck speed, Sakura Bakushin O, comes to a grinding halt seconds before collision.
Phew! Emergency brakes are working like a CHARM! As expected, my swiftness extends to my decision-making and reaction time too!
Y-you scared me...
My deepest and sincerest apologies! I was in a hurry!
However, please be aware that you're on Tracen Academy grounds! Here, we RUN in the halls, and the last one through the school gate is a rotten egg!
Ah... I'm afraid our discussion on the expectations and realities of Tracen Academy conduct will have to wait! For you see...
My beloved classmates are awaiting the arrival of their devoted class representative!
Fear not, my constituents, your FEARLESS leader is on her way! Bakushin, Bakushiiin!
My eyes widen as Sakura Bakushin O takes off with the same speed and force that carried her to me.
Her lecture was a bit all over the place, but in this case, her actions literally speak louder than words. I'm in awe at her speed...
You there! Stop!
Don't think you can fool the eyes of the class representative! I see all! Especially if you're trying to skip out on cleaning duty!
Representatiiive sprint! Draaagh!
Hear ye! Hear ye! Your class representative has exciting news!
Today's cafeteria dessert is sakura mochi! That's right, the same delectable rice cakes that delight the taste buds of all, especially me!
Now, follow me to glorious dessert! Bakushiiiin!
It seems like no matter where I go, I run into Sakura Bakushin O. Reflecting on the strange string of coincidences, I sit down at my desk, when suddenly...
Knock, knock! Slide...
Pardon the intrusion and greetings! Class Representative Sakura Bakushin O, at your service!
Uh... I already know your name...
You do?! H-how? Wait, could it be...
Did you by chance hear of my spotless conduct as class representative?! Well, I don't blame you for being impressed!
Ahhh, you're too kind! Soon I will surpass normal class representation and be elevated to the Class Representative Hall of Fame! Now, tell me all that you've heard!
Perhaps to Sakura Bakushin O's disappointment, I quickly remind her that we met this morning.
Now that you mention it, you do look familiar!
I'm glad you remember me.
That I do! And with that misunderstanding out of the way, there's nothing to get in the way of our newfound friendship! A win for all involved!
Well then, with that new bond forged, I will be on my way! Until we meet again!
I DIDN'T COME HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS!
The teacher is counting on me, the trustworthy class representative, to deliver these documents to you!
She hands me the documents, which I skim over. They look to be about the tryouts happening this weekend.
As my eyes wander down the page, I spot the name "Sakura Bakushin O" listed as one of the racers...
Thank you for delivering these.
No problem at all! You can always count on the class representative to get the job done!
Now to report back to the teacher... After that, I need to replace the water in the flower vases, change the school newspaper, and prepare the training course.
Someone's a busy bee.
Of course! If I want to be a good class representative and role model, I need to give my all!
And giving my all is something I've always been very good at, even as a kid!
Those math problems about apples and oranges? Easy-peasy for a PRODIGY! A game of tag? There's never been a faster player!
From the moment I let out my first cries as a baby, my parents knew that I was destined for greatness. We just didn't know how...
That is, until that fateful day in first grade when I realized my true calling!
Care to take a guess? I'll give you a hint: It starts with c and rhymes with "glass photosensitive."
Uh... Class representative?
Ding, ding, ding! Cooorrect!
I'll never forget how I was observing the butterflies outside when the teacher asked for candidates. It was so quiet, I could hear the clock ticking.
That's when the teacher looked at me, the one seated at the front of the class, and said the words that changed my life...
The class representative serves as a model for all other students to look up to. Only the hardest-working students can do it. Would you like to try?
And in that moment... I knew!
I exist to be class representative, and the role of class representative exists for me!
I was born to be the class representative! Why else would I be gifted with so much talent and brains?!
(Uh...)
And with that, Sakura Bakushin O takes off with the same boundless energy I saw this morning.
Her reasons for being class representative feel a touch exaggerated, but I am curious to see how her tryout race goes.
Just a little though...
2. Bakushin! Model Umamusume!
61 linesThe day of tryouts arrives, and there's excitement in the air as trainers gather in hopes of scouting the latest and greatest in talented Umamusume.
Ohoho! A familiar face! It's nice to see you again!
Ready for your big race?
Ready? I was BORN ready! No one's raring to go like me, the class representative!
Now then, my race is up next, so I must be off! Just TRY to keep up with my astonishing speed! But beware... you might just be blinded by my EXCELLENCE!
Bakushin! Bakushiiin!
That was Sakura Bakushin O, right? Did she just say she's in the next race? My data says she specializes in sprints...
But next up is the long-distance race... What is she planning?
With furrowed brows, the other curious trainers and I look on as Sakura Bakushin O's race begins...
Here I go! Bakushin, Bakushiiin!
Sakura Bakushin O bursts out of the gates and takes the lead! She's pulling away from the rest of the runners!
There's more where that came from! Bakushin, Bakushin, Bakushiiiiin!
Look at her go! With that speed, she might be the fastest Umamusume on the track today!
Raaaah!
...!
The race has only just begun, and the crowd is going wild! An unusual reaction to say the least, but after seeing Sakura Bakushin O, I completely understand.
Wh-what is she thinking?! She can't use that much power right out of the gate! But... then again...
What amazing speed! I've never seen someone start a race off like this!
If she can keep it up...
For a brief moment, even the veteran trainers have their eyes glued to the track, the prospect of a new racing superstar filling them with excitement.
The runners are rounding the fourth turn! Their actions from this point on will decide the outcome of the race!
Bakushin... Bakushiiin...
S-Sakura Bakushin O is losing speed! Has her initial energy run dry?!
Can't... keep... going... Must... slow... down.
Ah...
As Sakura Bakushin O loses speed, the other Umamusume pick up their pace, eventually leaving her in twelfth place...
Twelfth place?! TWELFTH! What a disgrace...
You started out strong, too... What rotten luck.
No... Luck had nothing to do with it. The others really gave their all, and it showed!
Nothing screams maturity like acknowledging your opponents' strength! As expected of the dignified class representative!
Uh... You saying that kinda ruins it...
Ah, there she is. Sakura Bakushin O! I'd like to have a word with you.
Would those words happen to be "I'm here to scout you"?! I was wondering when you'd show up!
W-well, that certainly saves me some time. You may not have won today, but your speed really impressed me. I'd love to take you under my wing.
I know you've got what it takes to dominate every short-distance race out there! Together, we'll make you the best sprinter in the world!
That's right... Is there a problem? Judging from that race, you're clearly suited to shorter distances...
I see, I see... Shorter distances, yes...
Apologies, but I must decline! Thank you for your interest in the trainer position! Now... go back from whence you came!
Huh?! B-but...
Taken aback by her vehement dismissal, the trainer stands there for a moment, before eventually shuffling away.
Sigh... What a disappointment, but oh well! When one door closes, another is sure to open!
Now then... What about you? You've seen what I can do, so surely you have something you'd like to say!
Or... Are you going to try to recruit me as a sprinter too?
Um...
If you have to think about it, then we both know the answer! As much as I hate to do this, it's going to be a no from me!
I'm sorry, but I refuse to be limited to just sprints! NO WAY, NO HOW!
Why are you so hung up on this?
Because I am class representative!
Now I have a question for YOU! Can you name all the G1 races that AREN'T sprints? Go!
Uh, the Japanese Derby, Tenno Sho, Arima Kinen...
STOP! Starting to get the picture?
There's loads and LOADS of races out there! And I want to win all of them, not just the short-distance ones!
Remember what I said the other day? I exist to be class representative, and the class representative role exists for me!
I want to be a model for ALL students to look up to!
And what type of runner do you think of when you hear that?
A sprinter? A miler? A stayer? No, you don't think of just one. You think of a runner who can do it all!
And THAT is the kind of runner the class representative should be!
So if you'll excuse me, I have places to go, people to see! Bakushin! Bakushiiin!
Before I can manage to fumble together a response, Sakura Bakushin O is long gone...
3. Bakushin! Secret to Victory!
61 linesRaaaah!
Bakushin, Bakushin, Bakushiiiin!
Bakushin O is in the lead, leaving the other runners in the dust!
Graaaah!
Finish! Sakura Bakushin O is your new Sprinters Stakes champion!
Raaaah!
Chirp, chirp...
Just a dream...
I decide to head to the training course. Despite it still being early morning, I spot Sakura Bakushin O there, hard at work.
Uraaagh! Bakushin, Bakushin, Bakushiiin!
I sit there, stunned. She's going even faster than she was in my dream! If only she'd agree to be a sprinter...
I continue to watch her run, saddened by the fact that she's so hell-bent on running in races ill-suited to her talents.
Huff, puff... Phew! That's today's goals reached! Leave it to the class representative to get stuff done!
Excuse me, Sakura Bakushin O! I want to make you the top sprinter in the world! How does that sound?
Thank you for your interest, but I'm sorry! I must decline!
After all, I have to set a good example as class representative!
Sakura Bakushin O remains as stubborn as always. As a trainer, I want to respect her decision, but it's easier said than done...
With that conundrum on my mind, I go about my day. As the sun sets, I take one last trip to the training course.
Let me guess, Rice! You want me, the class representative, to give you running tips, right?! You're looking to me for guidance, RIGHT?!
There's no need to be shy! As your class representative, it is my duty to help any and all students in need!
B-but, um... If you're around me for too long, I'll just bring you misfortune...
Does... that mean you... don't want my help?
I-I see... W-well, as your class representative, I'm disappointed, but... I s-suppose I must soldier on...
Do you reeeally not need my help? That's too bad...
An EXCELLENT question, my dear Rice!
Eep!
Now, allow me to impart to you the true secret to winning! And that is... speed!
S-speed?
Riddle me this, Rice... What do you need to do in order to win the race?
Reach the finish line before anyone else, right?!
R-right...
So in other words, in order to be the strongest, you have to be the fastest! Not just at the beginning or end of the race, but at all times!
Such overwhelming speed is the true key to victory!
I-I see...
My brow furrows. What she says may seem simpleminded at a glance, but...
Clearly, that fixation on speed has made Sakura Bakushin O the powerful runner she is today.
Phew... No better way to end the day than being a helpful class representative! It feels good to be so reliable!
Whoa! When did you get here?!
Hm? Um... Hello? Why are you staring at me like that?
Overwhelming speed is the key to victory. Just how far can that ideology take her...
Bakushin, Bakushin, Bakushiiiin!
Bakushin O is in the lead, leaving the other runners in the dust!
Graaaah!
Surely it could take her farther than that! My mind begins to race as I consider all the possibilities...
Yoo-hoo! Earth to Trainer! Is there something you need from me?!
All you trainers have been bugging me since yesterday. It's always "give up on marathons" this and "but your talents" that!
So let me make this clear, I'm not interested!
Speed!
Let's make you the fastest Umamusume in the world!
Th-the fastest?!
Wait, we're talking about taking on every single race, every single obstacle, right?!
Me, the class representative, running in EVERY SINGLE RACE, RIGHT?!
Yes!
BAKUSHIIIN! At last, the trainer I've been waiting for!
You've got yourself a deal! Starting tomorrow, I'll be in your capable hands!
With that, my journey with Bakushin O begins.
4. Bakushin! Overwhelming Speed!
62 linesSalutations and good morning to you, my dear trainer!
I can hardly wait to begin our training!
In fact, I was so excited last night that I ran for eight hours straight! In my dreams, of course!
Sounds like you got a good night's sleep!
I sure did!
Ahhh... I can't wait to tell my parents. They'll hardly believe their ears...
Mom, Dad, I did it! I won the Arima Kinen, the Japan Cup, the Tenno Sho, the Takarazuka Kinen, the Kikuka Sho, and the Japanese Derby!
Your little genius did it! I've fulfilled my true purpose as class representative and become the model for Umamusume everywhere!
In any case, I look forward to seeing what you have in store for me this afternoon!
In order to win all the G1 races Bakushin O mentioned, an Umamusume needs to be a well-rounded talent.
However, in her case, there's only one skill she should polish...
And that's speed!
With that in mind, I prep for our afternoon training session.
Okay, Trainer, I'm ready! Give me a training regimen worthy of a class representative!
I quickly go over the regimen I created for Sakura Bakushin O.
Ohoho... So we're doing ladder drills to start, eh? Roger that! This will make the perfect warm-up!
Watch me finish these drills in three minutes flat! Here I go!
Huff, puff... All done! Now... on to practicing the start of the race!
Just need to get into position and...
Raaah!
Huff, puff... Phew, now THAT'S what I call a warm-up! I'm on fire!
I'm ready to move on to the main event! Let's see, next up is... an interval run...
Wait... Wait, wait, wait, WAAAAIIIT!
T-Trainer!
Yes?
Wh-what is the meaning of this?! This training regimen...
This is obviously focused on SPRINTING!
This is NOT what we talked about! I refuse to become a sprinter!
Weren't YOU the one who said we'd overcome every single race together?! H-how could you...
First of all, I need you to calm down.
I-I am calm! I swear!
B-but these exercises are clearly designed to prepare me for short-distance sprints! If we were getting ready for marathons, we'd be working on my pace!
Calm yourself, Class Representative.
Ah...
Inhale... My sincerest apologies. My reaction was not exactly befitting of my station, was it?
The rational, coolheaded class representative has returned, so please, explain yourself!
What's the key to winning every race?
Why, that would be speed, of course!
You must be the fastest on the track, not just at the beginning or end of the race, but both! Only then can you reach the finish line before the other racers!
So if my goal is to be the greatest Umamusume, then I must be the fastest!
Right, which is why we're working on speed!
I-I see! So this is just another step on my journey to becoming a model class representative I aspire to be! Brilliant!
Now that I think about it, you DID say you want to use my speed to take on all the G1 races!
You... you really DO understand me!
I should never have doubted you! From now on, I promise to believe in you, no matter what! This, I swear!
Anyway, back to training! Bakushin, Bakushiiin!
With Sakura Bakushin O's trust in me now solidified, we spend our days building up her speed until finally, it's time to put her skills to the test.
Graaah!
Raaaah!
Sakura Bakushin O leaps out of the starting gate and takes the lead in no time flat! What astounding speed!
Bakushin, Bakushin, Bakushiiiiin!
Finish! Sakura Bakushin O maintains her lead and finishes in first place! Her speed has the crowd going wild! Listen to those cheers!
Yeeeaaah!
Ahahaha! Thank you, thank you! Your beloved class representative couldn't have done it without you!
Completely obliterating the competition, Sakura Bakushin O has won her debut race, the 1,200-meter dirt course!
Trainer! Class representative and first-place winner, Sakura Bakushin O, at your service!
Hehe... You know, I could be asking you why my debut race is a sprint, but I won't!
This is just an appetizer, isn't it?! Don't worry, I've got your plan aaall figured out!
I trust you to make me the perfect class representative! One with a win in every G1 race under her belt! Let's get this Bakushin show on the road!
This "Bakushin show" certainly does have a long road ahead of it, but Sakura Bakushin O and I are determined to make it work.
Perhaps someday... in the distant future... We can make her dreams come true!
Look out, future, here we come! Bakushin, Bakushiiin!
5. Bakushin! Food Challenge!
40 linesOne day, as I enter the cafeteria, I notice Sakura Bakushin O sitting before a gigantic mountain of food with a sparkle in her eyes.
This food will be gone before you know it...
Someone's hungry.
Oh, if it isn't my observant trainer! Have you come to witness my historic achievement firsthand?!
Well, you've got FANTASTIC timing! I was just about to start practicing for the real deal!
Come on, have a seat! You can watch me conquer yet another obstacle on the road to GLORY!
Uh...
Fear not, Trainer! I'll Bakushin blast this challenge into oblivion, and soar to VICTORY!
The class representative before you will never bring you shame!
Judging from her statement, there seems to be some sort of food-based challenge at Tracen Academy, and she's planning to enter.
I must beat this challenge! Only then can I become the TRUE model class representative!
My opponents; one eggstra large omelet rice, a serving of fried chicken that would make anyone bawk, and a house salad big enough to feed a whole mansion!
First up, my absolute favorite, MEAT! I'll down these bad birds at Baw-kushin speed!
After that, I'll start on the omelet rice! Always an eggcellent idea to follow protein with carbs!
And at the tip of the iceberg, we have the salad! It's just a boring salad, so I'll save it for last!
And now all that's left is to... EAT! Bakushiiin!
I hold my tongue as I watch Sakura Bakushin O push aside the least-filling dish, the salad, in favor of the heavy fried chicken...
Phew... Okay, time for a break.
The mountain of food before her barely has a dent in it. Which... makes sense, seeing as she started with the fried foods and carbohydrates.
No matter how much I eat, there's still so much food... Are these magical plates that keep adding more food as I eat?
Well, your magical sabotage will not hinder me! I'm a class representative, and a class representative never gives up!
I will overcome this challenge and show all Umamusume that they can do ANYTHING if they put their minds to it!
She's taking this pretty seriously, so I decide to offer up some advice.
I know how you can eat faster!
Y-you do?!
Is there really a way for me to get faster, even when it comes to eating?!
Tell me, Trainer! Tell me so I can dominate this food challenge!
I explain that fried foods and carbohydrates fill the stomach quicker, so it's best to start with the less-filling vegetables.
Adding that eating the same thing for a long time could be boring, I also suggest sampling a little bit of everything along the way.
Ohoho, a wise suggestion as always... Thank you! In that case, I'll make sure to cram a little bit of everything in each bite!
Wait, why?!
Fear not, the class representative will never fail you!
With that, she eagerly returns to her food. But before long...
That's what you get for taking such big bites.
Yeah... My cute little mouth wasn't ready for the carnage I subjected it to...
Urgh... Just talking hurts... I can't go on...
Trainer... the rest... is up to you... Blech.
As Sakura Bakushin O lays down in a food-induced coma, I pick up my utensils and begin my futile effort to finish what she started.
6. Bakushin! Shopping!
66 linesAfter our training session, I spy a rare sight, Sakura Bakushin O completely engrossed in her phone with a sour expression on her face.
Hnngh... Why...
Th-this has got to be a test... There's no other explanation! A trial I must overcome to take my place as the ultimate class representative!
But... But... AAARGH!
What's up?
Oh, Trainer! Nothing much, just the dread of waiting in line!
I'm gonna need more than that.
There's this dessert that I want to buy, but it's really, REALLY popular. You have to stand in line for hours just for the chance to buy it...
But I hate, hate, HATE waiting in lines! What am I supposed to do?!
Do I force myself to suffer the agony of long lines... or do I refuse to submit myself to torture and give up on delicious treats?! Gaaah, it's not faaair!
I nod along as she explains her predicament. I can't picture her patiently waiting in line either. But perhaps if she had someone to talk to...
Should we go together?
Wait, do you want sweets too? Then who am I to deny you?! Having you there will surely make the line bearable as well!
My parents always say, "It's not where you go, it's who you travel with!" I never understood what they meant until now!
If you're joining me, why don't we plan to go on our next day off?!
The appointed date comes, and we arrive at the shop. We quickly get in line, but before long, I notice Sakura Bakushin O beginning to fidget.
Hngh... Hnnngh!
One... Two sparrows! Three pigeons, and one excellent class representative.
And... ONE missing trainer! Wait, that's not right! Where are you, Trainer?!
Um... Still here.
Whoa! Th-there you are! Thank goodness, I was starting to get worried. Phew...
It's been... one minute since we started waiting. The line has barely moved, and Sakura Bakushin O is clearly agitated.
Perhaps a conversation would help take her mind off the line.
What are you going to buy?
Oho! An excellent question, my dear trainer!
The cheesecake here is said to fly off the shelves it's so fast! Isn't that amazing?! I had no idea cakes could fly!
If I can sink my teeth into that speedy treat, I'm sure to become the fastest Umamusume, right?!
That's why I MUST get my hands on this cheesecake! It is vital to my journey to become the greatest class representative and role model to Umamusume everywhere!
Sakura Bakushin O seems convinced that this dessert will magically make her faster. I look around for some way to explain the rumors to her.
My gaze stops on a signboard in front of the shop. Next to the picture of their cheesecake are the words "Best Seller!"
I think they're flying off the shelves because they're popular...
Hehe, silly Trainer! What does being popular have to do with flying?
I wonder what a flying cheesecake is going to look like...
Maybe a bird? Or a plane?! Or maybe... Gasp!
Perhaps they heard about how I SOAR down the track and modeled it after me! Hehehe... What a naughty bakery! They should've asked permission!
As we continue to make small talk, the line moves forward, ever so steadily.
And THAT is how I managed to bring the little lost puppy back to its owner!
Heh, a speedy rescue worthy of the class representative! If you ever need anything, Trainer, don't hesitate to...
All right, just a moment, folks. We'll be ready to serve you in a jiffy!
What the, how did we get to the front of the building so fast?!
Is this some kind of miracle?! Are the heavens thanking me for my service as class representative?!
Time flies when you're having fun.
N-now that you mention it, I wasn't paying attention to the line at all when we were talking!
Did you know this was going to happen, Trainer?! Is that why you kept me talking?!
I can't believe you'd come up with such a genius plan just for me! You're in a league all your own!
That's right! Witness my TRUE POWER!
Yeah! I can officially vouch for your strategic prowess!
If the heavens chose me to be the class representative, then YOU were chosen to be a trainer!
For us both to have met in this life... How could it be anything less than fate...
Hey, we're at the front of the line.
Cheesecakes in hand, we make our way back to the academy, where we chow down on the delicious treat.
That was fantastic! Now, pull out that stopwatch, Trainer! I wanna see how much faster I got!
Here I go... Bakushiiin!
Huff, puff...
T-Trainer... I... I can feel it!
You don't have to say anything. I can already tell, I'm the fastest Umamusume alive!
I glance down at my watch, which displays the same time as always...
Your start was amazing! But your time's the same...
What?! B-but how... Ah, wait a minute!
It must be because I went for a run right after eating! We'll have to try again later!
Phew... But what a great day. We got those flying cheesecakes, and I managed to conquer my hatred of lines!
And none of it would've been possible without you! That's right, the humble class representative always gives credit where credit is due!
The next time I have to stand in line for anything, I hope to make use of your strategic genius once again!
Satisfied, Sakura Bakushin O takes a break before going for another run. Unfortunately, her time remains unchanged...
7. Bakushin! Summer Festival!
58 linesSakura Bakushin O and I have been hard at work during Tracen Academy's summer camp, and we've finally reached the last day.
Ohhh... What a beautiful day! I can feel the sun's energy pouring into me!
Now, let's get down to business!
As the model of punctuality, I never waste time! Not even a millisecond!
I just can't wait for tonight! ♪ It's been so long since I've been to a festival. Do you think they'll have candy apples?
They should, right? Although I prefer candied fruit slices myself! You can eat them in just one bite.
A festival, eh... I had no idea.
Would you like to go after training?
I was just about to suggest the same thing! Hehe, we're on the same wavelength!
All right, it's decided! We're going to a festival after this! Let this be extra motivation for today's training!
Once we finish our day of training on the beach, Sakura Bakushin O and I head back to prepare for the festival.
Chatter, chatter...
Whoa... Is everyone going to the festival? Uh... it might be a bit crowded.
A bit? Now that's an understatement... We better stick together. Don't want to get lost.
Seeing all the Umamusume getting ready to go to the festival, I start to get nervous. What if I lose Sakura Bakushin O in the crowd...
Apologies for the wait, Trainer! I'm all ready to go!
Before that, I need you to promise me something.
Okay, what is it?
Do your best not to get lost, okay?
Of course! As class representative, safety is always my top priority!
If you get lost, call me.
Right, communication is an important tool for anyone, but especially the class representative! Leave it to me!
Do you even have your cell phone?
Yup, I have it in my bag...
AHHH! My bag! I almost forgot it!
D-don't worry! I'll be right back!
Sakura Bakushin O's absentmindedness does not inspire confidence...
Whoooa! Look at all these stalls! The food! The festival dance!
This brings back so many memories... My parents were always so impressed by my skills in the shooting and fishing games.
Ohhh, this is sooo exciting!
That does it, we're visiting ALL the stalls! Let's start over there! Ready, set...
W-wait!
BAKUSHIIIN!
Don't just run off!
My efforts to stop her are in vain, and before I know it, she disappears into the crowd...
With the festival venue as crowded as it is, I soon lose track of Sakura Bakushin O completely.
As planned, I try calling her cell phone, but all I hear is an automated message saying she can't be reached... I should find the organizers and...
I whip my head around at the sound of Bakushin O's voice. All I see is more people, but I head in the direction of her calls.
Hello, hello?! Trainer, answer me! Trai, wait, why's my screen black?!
Traaaiiineeerrr! Where are youuuu?! My cell phone isn't working!
A black screen... Judging by the fact that I haven't received any calls, that can only mean one thing...
Turn on your phone!
Huh?! Ah, now that you mention it, it's off! Wait, Trainer!
Thank goodness you found me! I thought I'd lost you for good!
So you did try to call me...
Of course I did!
The class representative always keeps her promises!
Besides, I trust you, Trainer! I know you only have my best interests at heart!
Just like I always keep my fellow students in mind!
I'm just glad we found each other.
Agreed!
Considering the crowd, I was worried you might have been hurt!
But it seems that didn't happen... to either of us!
And now, we have been reunited! And it feels so good!
I'd say we're a winning combination if there ever was one! I can't wait to see where we go in the future! Here's to us, Trainer! Put 'er there! Bakushin!
I shake Sakura Bakushin O's hand as the festival music plays on. We still have room to grow, but I can't wait to see what this so-called "winning combination" can do.
