Scizor went to Blaziken and started patting her shoulder without a word.

Blaziken looked at her big brother with a joyful expression as she could feel the pride from Scizor.

She and Scizor spent a lot of time training together, and Scizor was always a kind of mentor to Blaziken. She had a lot of respect for Scizor and saw him as a role model.

Although she never told him, she wanted him to be proud of her just as much as she wanted her father to be proud of her.

Scizor looked with a smile, "You're more than ready now to start competing for first place in the family. Train hard, or you won't be able to take that title from me."

Blaziken suddenly felt that this was one of the best days in her life. She couldn't help but get pumped up to get better. "Brother Scizor should watch out, or I'll get over you soon."

Crobat, who overheard this conversation, flew in front of the two and said with his usual snarky tone, "Kid, why do you want to fight for second place? If you want to have the title of number 1, you have to defeat me."

Scizor gave an annoyed expression as he looked in the direction of Crobat, "Can't you hold your big mouth for a minute?"

Crobat just looked down at Scizor from his flying position when he said arrogantly, "What's wrong, can't handle a little truth? Everyone here knows who the number 1 is."

Gardevoir also came and said with a tender tone, "Brother Crobat, it has been a long time since the last tournament took place. Now, you can't certainly say who is the strongest Pokémon."

Scizor added, "Yeah, your license to the title of number 1 has been expired."

Crobat ignored Scizor and looked at his little sister, and said with a slightly mild tone, "Although you are not entirely wrong, I believe that it would be one of the 3 of us again. The 3 of us are all a good deal stronger than the rest."

Ditto also tried to give some enter into this conversation, "Why are the fights always 1 v/s 1. That is not very fair. My strengths come from group fights. :("

Eevee gave Ditto a comforting pat, "Brother Ditto, you don't have to worry about this tournament. Just because a Pokémon wins this tournament doesn't mean he/she becomes someone important in our group."

Bastiodon, who had been following the conversation, looked in the direction of Blaziken and asked, "Blaziken, do you think I have a chance to win a 1 v/s 1 tournament?"

Blaziken looked at her brother and put a hand on his broad shoulders, "Hey, big brother. You have to show more self-confidence. Look at yourself, so big and strong and yet such an insecure attitude."

Bastiodon didn't get mad when he heard his little sister say those words. He just said, with a nod full of determination, "Hmm, you're right, I'll try to improve, little sister."

Blaziken, who heard the tender words from her big brother, started to pull her hair, seeing how he didn't change at all, "AHHH!!!!!! Unbelievable!"

Gardevoir, who was keeping an eye on this whole conversation between the two silently for a while, said gently, "Little sister, don't be so mean to your big brother. Although he is gentle, he is there in the important moments when you need him."

Blaziken remembered what happened a few minutes ago and how her big brother showed her a side of him that she had never seen.

"Ahh, yes. Brother Bastiodon, you were so cool at that moment with your mad face."

Bastiodon showed a surprised and slightly bewildered expression when he said, "Mad face? I think this word doesn't quite fit me. Sister Gardevoir, I didn't have that expression, did I?"

Gardevoir showed a motherly face when she said, "Little brother, it's normal to have an expression like that when someone you care about is in danger. Don't worry unnecessarily."

Blaziken looked up at the slightly confused face of her big brother and said, "En. Big sister is right."

After a short pause, she also said with a sincere voice, "Big brother, big sister, I would like to thank you for what you-"

Bastiodon interrupted his little sister with a peaceful and gentle look, "Little sister, we are a family. You don't need to thank family members."

Blaziken showed a surprised expression as this was the first time Bastiodon had ever cut her off in the middle of speaking. Then a slightly emotional expression appeared on her face.

To hide her feelings, she began to scold Bastiodon loudly for how impolite it is to interrupt someone and even began to kick him on the knee.

Bastiodon felt no pain, so he just ignored the "attacks" from his little sister.

Gardevoir, who can perceive the feelings of other Pokémon, immediately saw through the trick of her little sister. She thought that the approach Blaziken took to hide her emotions from her big brother was quite cute, and this put a smile on her face.

She felt that after this dangerous situation, the whole family got a little closer together.

Crobat and Scizor didn't argue with each other today but took an active part in conversations.

Ditto and Eevee exchanged ideas about different chess strategists when they were not participating in other conversations.

Shuppet and Vulpix are inseparable as always, while they play with each other or talk to other family members.

Alex, who saw how all his family members were having a good time, joined the group with a serene smile.
