Misaki didn't plan to participate in the Suzuran Tournament back then because her lineup hadn't been well-adjusted yet.
Metagross who joined the camp to realize his dream, Bankiras who had just evolved, and the Fang-Tooth Land Shark who was specially conquered in order to surpass Sirona.
All of Misaki's powerful Pokémon have not been trained to perfection in lineup cooperation, and can only rely on pure personal strength to compete.
She knew very well that her peak period had not yet arrived and she should wait.
However, she still came because of Luther's appearance.
At that time, Misaki said that she did not want to disappoint Sirona again, and she wanted to verify whether Luther was worthy of Sirona's expectations.
The two teamed up to present the most exciting game since the restructuring of the Suzuran Tournament, which has been relived repeatedly by countless trainers to this day.
Although the two of them were unable to lose their youthfulness at that moment, there were many flaws in the way they fought, their timing, and their mentality. At least when Luther was reviewing that game now, he felt that there was only one.
For example, when I grow up, I take out a short composition I wrote when I was a child, or I impulsively write a scrapped novel.
The more I read, the more I wanted to destroy these things and not look back on this embarrassing black history.
When the dark history that you don't want to look back on is regarded as a classic by others, Luther felt that this was a kind of public execution.
But that is youth and my past.
As time passed, Luther grew up and became much more mature and steady.
And Misaki has also grown up. She seems to be more confident and sharper than before. The sword hidden in her heart has been revealed, and she is so powerful.
"At first you admired Sirona and added Sea Hare and Fang Shark to your lineup. Now you admire Alchemy Emperor. Who else is in your lineup?"
Luther smiled and said: "Is it a fire-breathing dragon, a toad king, a super-armored rhinoceros, or an ice-walking doll?"
"That's not true. I'm now past the age where I can conquer elves casually. In order to match the lineup, I won't make an impulsive decision. Instead, I will make a decision after repeated consideration."
"Before I came to Galar, I subdued a fire dinosaur in the Hoenn region. Now he is a fire-breathing dragon. If you want to say, I admired the master for subduing it... up to you."
"I'm very curious, when Emperor Dan accepted you as his disciple, did he know about your relationship with Sirona?"
Misaki smacked the preserved fruit in her mouth, and when she heard Luther's question, she said noncommittally: "Senior Sirona and I, what kind of relationship did I have before? Can you tell me?"
Luther was choked.
Sirona is a very casual person, so casual that it gives people a headache.
At that time, I looked for good talents everywhere, helped them in various ways, and guided them to become excellent trainers, but I never accepted a disciple.
She teaches just because she appreciates it. She wants to see a towering tree grow.
Misaki is the most outstanding one among that group of people. Sirona discovered her, supported her, guided her, and shared her skills and experience with her.
Despite this, Sirona never said that Misaki was her apprentice, but she never refused to be called apprentice when others talked about Misaki.
From the perspective of outsiders, this is an ambiguous and wonderful relationship, and it is difficult for you to figure out what Sirona was feeling in her heart at the time.
Luther couldn't completely understand Sirona's thoughts, but he knew something clearly.
Back then, Misaki seriously believed that only she was qualified to become Sirona's apprentice, and she had been working hard for this.
She left back then just to get rid of Sirona's shadow, because under the overwhelming media publicity, her identity had been completely exposed and she was labeled with the symbol of Sirona.
She hopes that after becoming stronger, she can stand on the same stage as Sirona, defeat her and replace her.
At the same time, this was also Sirona’s expectation.
Unfortunately, this is no longer possible.
Seeing Luther stunned, Misaki said: "Look, actually you have also thought about it. From the beginning to the end, Sirona never accepted me as her disciple. Even if the media labeled me as her, she still didn't
express."
"If you ask me what Emperor Dan thinks about this relationship, I will tell him very simply."
"Sirona didn't accept me as her disciple, but she taught me."
Misaki stared at Luther and asked with slight confusion: "Am I wrong to say that?"
"Although Dan Emperor is a champion who is keen to carry Galar on his shoulders and has a great sense of responsibility, he is a little careless in handling his own affairs, but he does not accept disciples casually."
"He knows about my past and everything I had with Sirona before. I didn't mislead him. He chose me, I admired him, and then I became a disciple. What's wrong with that?"
Luther said in a deep voice: "I admit that you are justified in theory and reason, but are the things you did later worthy of your own conscience and worthy of Sirona's training for you?"
"You want to be a good bird that chooses the right tree to roost in, I won't stop you, but if you stand up for the Galar Alliance, stand up publicly in the live broadcast, and confuse the fact that Sirona has helped you with being your apprentice, then you
What’s the explanation?”
"Okay, I admit that some of the content is the result of the media adding fuel to the fire, but I don't believe you don't know what kind of rhythm your public platform will create?"
"Sirona is surrounded by negative news, and the Sinnoh Alliance has been messed up by you. This is definitely your highlight moment. Just one sentence caused an uproar!"
Misaki said calmly: "You are here this time to humiliate the Galar Alliance for the Sinnoh Alliance. I stand up to you and stand up to you. The essence is a matter of stance. Are you sure you want to discuss right and wrong on the issue of stance?"
"I am the disciple of Dan Emperor, that is, the trainer of Galar. For the future of Galar, I have my own mission and responsibility, just like the master."
"Master is not like Sirona. At least he is willing to go straight and accept me as his disciple, so he will not leave me alone and make me wait for recognition and recognition."
"It's not like Sirona. She just wanders around leisurely every day and does her own thing as she pleases. As for what happens to the Alliance or what troubles Sinnoh has, she rarely pays attention to it."
"You should also know that what Sirona does is not like a qualified champion!"
"I work hard every day for the future of Galar. This is the master in my eyes. It is also because of this that I am moved by him."
"I heard that you brought Acerola back from Alola, and you brought Shijana back from Hoenn. Are they considering things with you as the core, or with their hometown as the core?"
Shijana and Acerola were stunned for a moment when they were named, and then they silently pondered this question.
"Luther, you have personally participated in the tournament, and you should be very clear about the series of reactions caused by the tournament." Misaki said, "The rewards and subsidies for the bottom trainers were followed up by the major leagues after the tournament was held."
"If there is no championship, do you dare to pat your chest and say, will these leagues take such measures?"
"I come from a poor background. If it weren't for the mines, I wouldn't be able to feed the little kilas I picked up. And rich people can easily crush us in terms of resources."
"Even if we continue to work hard and stand on the conference stage, once we lose, it means that our dreams are shattered."
"What the unknown trainer has to do is to give up his identity as a trainer and choose another life."
"Those who are not willing to give in need to make efforts that others cannot imagine. They need to work part-time, accept commissions, and raise their own main force in order to continue to pursue their dreams."
"You are a successful person. You are so successful. You bought an island, became a trainer's dream goal, and lived a leisurely and contented life. Have you ever thought about these low-level trainers?"
"I admit that I am a shameful betrayer in your eyes, but are you really qualified to scold me?" Misaki stared at Luther and said word by word, "I feel guilty for Sirona, but not for the major alliances.
, and not to you either!”
"Look at the stage of the championship. Have you ever thought about a problem while you are raging back and forth in the competition?" Misaki said, "Ninety-five percent of the trainers in the championship have never participated in a regular regional competition."
"They are the truest appearance of trainers in this world, we are not!"
"Master and I are using our own methods to allocate resources to them, so that they can also have the opportunity to realize their dreams, cultivate the elves they want, and with hard work, they can stand on the big stage."
"And you, you are destroying this stage and the opportunity they dream of!"
Luther closed his eyes. After a long time, he covered his forehead and opened his eyes, his face full of exhaustion.
"Just admit that you're sorry for Sirona. I came to Galar and got back my twin-tail bet. The rest is just to settle the account with you. If we settle it clearly, we'll be settled."
"You walk your Yangguan Road, and I cross my single-plank bridge. You have your righteousness, and I have my family and friends. I am narrow-minded. I am floating in the clouds and do not eat the sufferings of the world. What you say is correct, and I do not deny it.
"
"You long for Alchemy Emperor and want to fight for a great cause. That is your business and has nothing to do with me or my friends. I will not step on you, and neither will they."
"Let's be clear."
"Also, I admit that you are right. At least in terms of forcing other alliances to improve benefits for low-level trainers, the Galar Alliance has done a good job, and I have never completely denied his contribution."
"But what they did is far from perfect and full of loopholes. I'm not here to destroy it, I'm just here to make it better."
"The high-ranking nobles in Galar are superior. They improve the welfare of the lower-level trainers just to separate the basic bases of different regions and absorb their vitality. They do not do it from the heart like you."
"I'm different. I've suffered and suffered. I know how to ruin a competition system, and I also know how to make it better."
"Tell your master, Emperor Dan, that I am here to make this competition system better."
"I'm here to teach them a lesson."
"I am Luther and I am also a trainer. My stance is always on the side of the trainer and will never change."
"Misaki, let's talk about other things later on the field."
"It's time for me to test the sword. You made Sirona very sad. I'm here to help her vent her anger. That's all."
"Although I am not recognized by Sirona, I can still be considered as half of her apprentice."
