It's about time to go, Empoleon!

See you soon, Hikari-chan!

Yes! Goodbye!

Hand in hand with my master...

And...

With these hands, which can't do anything but hurt at touch...

...I'm very far apart from being "cute". With such a heinous and scary appearance there's no way...

Now that I think about it...

Back in the days, we used to play hand in hand too a lot, don't we?

Alrighty!

Let's try hold our hands like we used to!

S-stop it, master!

Uh?

*soft touch*

I do want...I really want to...like we used to, master......

You know, Garchomp?

Now, I'm the Sinnoh League Champion.

And you're my trump card...

But, you know...

No matter what my status is...

No matter what we may look like...

My master loves me just as she used to.

Even if our heart has always been linked, I've never felt not even a bit of such happines.

Oh oh...

I'll be counting on you from now on too, Garchomp.

Garrr!

They really are close, aren't they.

Don't you want to...hold my hand?

Kyah!

Sorry...and...thanks

But now...

Garchomp...

Of course not! It's not like it, master!

Don't worry!

If you can't hold my hand, I'll hold yours...

I'll hold it tight, so you won't hurt me.

So please, don't go away from me...

Master...

I'm sorry, master.

Even if I changed so much...

To me, you'll be always my precious and cute partner.

Now that I think about it, back in the days, I used to walk like that too...

Now I can't do it anymore...

The time passed by, and both me and my master have grew and changed...

She obtained the title of pokémon Champion of Sinnoh...

Even if I can't express myself in words, master, you can understand me for sure, can't you?
