"Mmm..."
Luna, cradled in Sun Wuming's arms, murmured softly as she opened her eyes after eating the mystic bean.
"What... how..."
Although the mystic bean had repaired her physical exhaustion, her mind was still in an extremely fatigued state, leaving Luna feeling somewhat dazed.
"I can't believe you ran the whole course. Didn't I tell you to just rest at the research institute?"
Sun Wuming looked at Luna with an expression that said "are you stupid?"
"Weren't you the one who said we should lead by example for our Pokémon?"
Finding herself in Sun Wuming's arms, Luna surprisingly didn't react as strongly as she had this morning, instead responding with a smile.
"Huh? The pain is gone. Did you... did you give me that same bean you gave to Sonia before?"
Luna now noticed the changes in her body.
That feeling of aching muscles and bones about to fall apart was gone.
After letting go of Luna, Sun Wuming stood up and said:
"Yes, now go rest. The hell training for you and your Pokémon is just beginning."
After leaving his chest, Luna felt strangely uncomfortable for some reason.
But Luna didn't think much about it, the intense fatigue still lingered in her mind, refusing to dissipate, and all she wanted was to dive into bed.
...
...
Time flew by, and a month quickly passed.
After another full day of delivering milk, they stood in front of the Legacy Gym.
"After a month of hard training, looks like you can finally have breakfast."
Sun Wuming showed Luna and her Pokémon the time on his stopwatch.
8:55.
They finally managed to compress the time to before 9 o'clock.
"Well done, everyone! Blastoise! Golisopod!"
Luna excitedly hugged her Pokémon.
The water-type Pokémon were also crying tears of joy.
These hellish days were finally bearing fruit.
However, Sun Wuming indicated they were getting ahead of themselves - this was just the beginning.
But regardless, Luna and her Pokémon could finally eat breakfast normally.
You see, since that first day when Bear apprentice and Sonia's Pokémon slowed down to accompany them, resulting in missing breakfast.
From the second day onward, Bear apprentice and Sonia's group stopped waiting for Luna's Pokémon.
They ran ahead at full speed just to make it back in time for breakfast.
What about friendship?
Nonsense!
Nothing's more important than eating.
Having to go through Sun Wuming's hellish training every day, doing it on an empty stomach would double the suffering, right?
When Blastoise and Golisopod returned to the gym.
They could only drool while watching Bear apprentice and the others enjoy their meal.
And Luna, as their trainer, naturally had to share in her Pokémon's hardships.
But watching Sun Wuming and Sonia eating heartily.
She never realized eating could be such a blessing.
But today, they could finally have a proper breakfast!
"Eat quickly, we need to head to Postwick afterward."
Sun Wuming said.
"Postwick?"
Luna was startled.
Isn't that where her best friend Sonia lives?
"I asked Professor Magnolia earlier to lend us her training grounds."
Sun Wuming explained.
At these words.
Question marks appeared above both Luna and Sonia's heads.
Does Professor Magnolia even have training grounds?
...
...
Wyndon City.
"Oh! That sounds interesting! I'll come take a look too!"
Champion Leon responded with a smile while on the phone.
After hanging up, Leon quickly made his way to Rose Tower, the Galar League headquarters.
"Chairman, there's something interesting going on."
In the chairman's office, Leon said to Rose with a smile.
"Oh?"
Rose, who was handling documents, raised his eyebrows with curiosity.
"Mr. Sun is taking Sonia and Luna to train at Sonia's place. Want to go watch?"
Leon said cheerfully.
The phone call earlier was from Sonia.
"Ooh~ That does sound interesting."
Rose couldn't help but smile.
He had heard the name of this Mr. Sun many times.
But he had never seen him in person.
Although it would be fine to wait until the upcoming Galar Star Tournament to meet him, after Leon's suggestion, Rose couldn't help but be interested.
"Chairman, you have a meeting at the Kanto League headquarters later."
Oleana reminded him.
"Well, we could still make it if we leave right after watching, right? Just have the private jet stand by in Wedgehurst?"
Rose asked in a negotiating tone.
"...You can only watch for a little while."
Oleana said after a brief silence.
