The small pearl in his hand emitted a beautiful silvery sheen.
Looking at it, Naoki could almost imagine how Teddiursa and w managed to find it.
It might have been born or fallen from a pearl-producing Pokemon, finally drifting ashore after many years of being battered by the sea.
At that mont, Teddiursa and w, who were on an adventure, happened to pass by and discovered it.
With its Pickup ability, Teddiursa thought this shiny thing was quite pretty, so it picked it up.
To let him know it was a gift, Teddiursa and w, who couldn’t speak human language, found so paper and left their paw prints on it with muddy hands.
Perhaps it was Teddiursa who ca up with the idea, as it was the first to press its little paw print onto the paper.
w was attracted by this scene and thought it was fun, so it too left its paw print on the paper.
Afterwards, they entrusted the paper and the pearl to their good friend, Pelipper, whom they had t during their travels, asking it to deliver the items to the ranch in the Paldea region.
However, Naoki was a bit puzzled.
How did Pelipper know the exact location of the ranch?
After pondering briefly, he arrived at a possible answer.
That is, just as the human world has its operating logic, the Pokemon World also has its own operating logic.
It’s like the owth that wander through city alleys; they form a vast network sharing information that is unseen by humans.
Or like the Clefairy that gather and dance under the full moon, worshiping the moon as a deity, much like ancient human clans.
"What a pity..."
Naoki couldn’t help thinking, if only he had bought Teddiursa a cara when it left.
That way, Teddiursa could capture photos of what it encountered on its travels and send them back to the ranch, allowing him to know about their adventurous experiences.
However, since he has now received the pearl and postcard sent back by Teddiursa, it ans their journey is going well.
Naoki’s worries were mostly eased, and he looked up at the sky, but Pelipper was already nowhere to be seen.
Naoki looked again at the pearl in his hand, images of w and Teddiursa appeared in his mind.
w, which Team Rocket had spent decades searching for, had co into his life just like that.
They never even found it, only discovering a fossilized eyelash of w.
That eyelash fossil was later used by Team Rocket to create wtwo through genetic technology.
"I wonder what Boss Giovanni would feel if he knew about this incident."
Sotis, humans can’t help but have whimsical thoughts about things far removed from their lives.
Just like now, Naoki, with a hint of mischievousness in his mind, imagined himself traveling to the Viridian Gym with Teddiursa, w, Koraidon, and Gogoat.
At that ti, Boss Giovanni’s expression would surely be priceless.
Unlike other regions that have so security problems, the Paldea region doesn’t have a truly evil organization.
Team Star is just a group of forr bullying victims forming a defense against bullying.
However, living a peaceful and stable life like this is also pretty nice.
Returning to his room, Naoki carefully put the small pearl and postcard with paw prints away, storing them with the other possessions Teddiursa had previously accumulated in the drawer.
Cyclizar, with a growling stomach, was pitifully calling out from behind, just like a hungry child seeking their mother.
However, Cyclizar is indeed just a kid, as it’s only a few months old, not yet a year.
He needed to start preparing dinner.
This evening, Naoki planned to make pan-fried pork chops, paired with nutritious fruit juice and fresh milk.
He took the ingredients out of the refrigerator and began to busy himself.
When the sun had completely set, and darkness enveloped the ranch, dinner was finally ready.
Naoki brought the steaming dishes to the table, letting Koraidon and the others eat first, while he took a Pokemon treat and a sandwich to the ice house at the back.
Pushing the door open, a burst of cold air hit him.
Glaceon was resting on the Ice Stone and imdiately opened its eyes when it heard the sounds from outside.
Naoki placed the food in front of it, smiling, "I wasn’t sure what you like to eat, so I prepared these for you to try and see if they suit your taste."
"Bui...?"
Glaceon was quite surprised by this.
It looked down at the food it had never eaten before and couldn’t help but wonder: Does this place actively provide food for Pokemon?
Naoki crouched beside it, smiling, "Let formally introduce myself, Glaceon. I’m the rancher of this ranch, and all the Pokemon you saw today ca from different places to live here with ."
"Providing food for the Pokemon in the ranch is the responsibility of a good rancher, so please, eat without worry!"
"Bui..." Glaceon blinked, hesitating to touch the food.
In its mind, it was already grateful to have been given such a nice place to live.
And coupled with the fact that Naoki had protected it from that Froslass previously.
Glaceon felt it owed him a lot of favors, and having done nothing in return, it couldn’t bring itself to comfortably accept his food.
