"Chirp?" (World Tree?)
What is that? Zapdos had never heard of it.
For a Pokémon like it, changing territories was just part of life.
So far, it had changed hos thirty-eight tis, and the only place it felt satisfied with was this abandoned power plant.
Now, w and Teddiursa wanted to invite it to live in their hotown, leaving Zapdos quite surprised.
Teddiursa nodded: "Uma! Uma Uma!" (That’s right! It’s the World Tree! It’s a really nice place! Calyrex likes it too!)
Zapdos was even more puzzled: "Chirp?" (Calyrex? Is it also a Pokémon? Is World Tree a tree? But how can a tree be as big as a mountain?)
Faced with Zapdos’s line of questioning, Teddiursa was at a loss for where to start explaining.
w, however, picked up the thread: "Miu!" (Calyrex is a Pokémon that used to be a human king! The World Tree is of course a tree! I hadn’t seen it before either, but it’s there! You’ll know once you see it!)
Hearing this, Zapdos opened its beak in surprise, and deep inside, a sense of curiosity began to take hold.
Moreover, this place was becoming less peaceful, with humans bothering it almost every other day.
Zapdos was tired of this kind of life, and w and Teddiursa’s proposal was appealing to it.
But as far as it believed, powerful Pokémon often disliked intruders on their turf, just as it disliked humans disturbing it in the power plant.
Thinking of this, Zapdos couldn’t help but ask: "Chirp?" (If I go, will Calyrex drive away?)
Teddiursa and w hadn’t expected this question, and they exchanged glances before both shaking their heads.
"Uma!" (Of course not! Calyrex is a very kind Pokémon!)
Upon hearing this, Zapdos fell into contemplation.
Gazing at the two hopeful Pokémon before it, Zapdos couldn’t help but ask one final question.
"Chirp?" (Why did you co to invite to live on that tree?)
w answered without hesitation: "Miu!" (Because then we can all play together forever! Never apart again!)
Teddiursa nodded its little head: "Uma!" (That’s right! Zapdos, you’re our good friend too! We want to always play with you, never to part again!)
Good friends...
These three words hit Zapdos deeply.
It stared blankly at Teddiursa and w, their eyes were so sincere.
Zapdos felt its face growing warm, blushing at a visible speed.
It turned its head, closed its eyes, and gave its response: "Chirp." (In that case, I’ll agree to your request.)
Upon hearing this, Teddiursa and w’s eyes imdiately brightened.
"Miu!"
"Uma!"
Witnessing this, Zapdos felt a warmth in its heart.
Is this what having good friends feels like?
Zapdos agreed to their invitation, and next was to take it back to the ranch to see the World Tree.
w and Teddiursa thought carefully and then decided to return to the ranch with Zapdos to check if the World Tree had grown big enough for residents.
So, the two Pokémon climbed onto Zapdos’s back.
Once they were seated, Zapdos flapped its wings, electricity surging as it bid farewell to the power plant where it had lived for so many years, carrying its two good friends towards the blue sky and their hotown.
With Zapdos’s departure, the abandoned power plant returned to silence.

League Year 199, February 9th, Spring, the ranch is bustling with life.
Dragonites who had co from Dragonite Island picked up MooMoo Milk ordered by guests from Naoki, then flew towards Porto Marinada Town one after another.
Gogoats gathered by the farm, with green Grass Energy gushing from their bodies, flowing into the ground below.
Instantly, the whole farm was subrged in a sea of green energy.
Just ten minutes earlier, Dragonite had used Rain Dance over the farm.
At this mont, every plant in the field absorbed enough water and nutrients, flourishing under the Gogoats’ Grass Energy.
Miltanks moved to an open grassland, energetically rolling around, seemingly exercising their bodies in this way.
In the living room, Calyrex sat on the sofa, watching a Pokémon ani called "Blossom’s Dream" on TV.
Sinistea and Polteageist floated beside it, watching the TV together.
Since encountering the TV, this newfound novelty, Calyrex had developed a strong interest in this box that could play animations, becoming engrossed in watching TV.
Interestingly, Calyrex didn’t like watching human news programs or culinary shows, nor did it enjoy Pokémon docuntaries, preferring to watch animations about humans and Pokémon living in harmony and becoming friends.
Calyrex watched intently, enthralled and unblinking, not even noticing when the tea on the coffee table went cold.
By the fireplace not far away, Pawmot, Alcremie, Glaceon, and Dolliv were surrounding Flutter Mane, who was snoring on a cushion.
