Clemont stared at that Bellossom holding its sword motionless, couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"I choose you, Magneton!"
Saying this, Clemont threw out his Poké Ball.
Then, he shouted to that Magneton: "Use Magnet Rise."
Before the words finished, under the effect of magnetic force, that Magneton floated in mid-air.
"I see, if it's floating in the sky, it can't be cut, ow?"
owth thought this, couldn't help but beco sowhat worried.
After all, Bellossom's body length was only about forty centiters. Even raising that sword to the top, it would at most be a bit over one ter. This could be said to have no way of dealing with Magneton floating in mid-air.
Just as owth was thinking this, a flash of cold light passed by.
The next second was a crisp sound, accompanied by the grating friction of tal striking a hard object. In the next instant, that Magneton fell to the ground.
"Magneton is unable to battle!"
"So strong." Jas couldn't help but take a deep breath. He then lowered his head and asked: "What were we worried about just now?"
"Don't know, ow." owth said, resting its chin on its paws, wiping away a tear and saying: "owth wasn't thinking about anything at all."
anwhile, in Pelican Town, at Penny's house.
After getting up early to make breakfast, Pam couldn't wait to push open the door and go to the small garden to observe the growth of the Powderlons.
"Looks like they're ripe." Pam patted the Powderlons again and again, then went back inside to find a pair of scissors, cutting off the grown Powderlons one by one. After selecting a few, she carried them and walked toward the door.
Halfway there, she turned her head to Penny, who had just woken up, and said: "I'm going to deliver so Powderlons to Lewis's place. Breakfast is on the table, rember to eat later."
"Oh, okay." Penny responded softly. She rubbed her eyes, reacting belatedly: "The Powderlons are ripe already?"
"Mm, there's so on the table. You can bring so when you go to the library later, eat them when the children get tired from studying." Pam said, carrying the Powderlons out the door.
When the new house was built, most of the neighbors had helped out, and she really had nothing to repay them with. It was rare to have grown sothing—delivering them out now was just right.
Thinking this, Pam knocked on George's door.
"Good morning." Evelyn opened the door, saw it was Pam, was stunned for a mont, then smiled and greeted Pam: "Is sothing the matter?"
"Morning." Pam took out the Powderlons from her arms: "Penny and I planted so Powderlons in the small garden. They bore fruit these past two days, so I thought I'd bring you so."
"Oh my, that's too much trouble." Evelyn smiled, but didn't refuse Pam's kindness. She happily accepted them: "You've taken good care of them. Right, I have a few flower pots here. If you need them, take them back. You can plant so flowers in the house or sothing."
Just then, George also walked over. He had a thick cloth bundle on his lap. In previous years, this was when George was most irritable, but today he seed to be in a good mood.
Noticing Pam's gaze, Evelyn explained while taking out cookies she had baked from the cabinet: "That was sent over by Ron. Apparently it's called sothing like an orb. It's warm, and fits perfectly on George's lap." (Fla Orb)
This thing was sowhat similar to ancient warming thods using hot bricks and hot stones—throwing bricks and stones into the fire, then wrapping them in thick cloth and wool to borrow the stove's warmth.
The difference was that the temperature was constant, so there was no need to unwrap and replace them, avoiding the situation of sudden hot and cold.
Plus, with a bit of Cheri Berry and Wild Horseradish rubbed on the legs, as long as that stayed on his lap, George's old ailnt wouldn't flare up, and his temper had improved a lot recently as a result.
"I see." Pam paused: "He's really a good person."
"Yes, who would have thought he would even notice this."
After all, no one had told Ron about George's legs. As for George's foul temper, he had hardly even spoken to Ron, yet he could notice this and give him such a gift on George's birthday.
The old couple were both grateful for this.
Evelyn smiled, then handed the cookies to Pam: "I baked these early this morning. They taste quite good. If you don't mind, please accept them."
Pam thanked Evelyn and left the house carrying the cookies.
It was snowing outside at this mont. A gust of cold wind blew past, and Pam couldn't help but tighten her hat, braving the wind and snow, and walked toward Gus's house.
Penny sat at the table eating breakfast, looking out the window while eating.
It had been cold these past few days, so the fireplace had been burning continuously, causing a thick layer of condensation to form on the window.
Biting her bread, Penny moved to the window and extended her finger to draw on it twice.
"R-O-N—"
Penny suddenly reacted and hurriedly wiped away the written text with her hand.
"Ah, it's snowing." Penny looked up at the snowflakes falling outside the window, turned back to her room, and took out a towel.
"What would Kalos be like now—" Penny thought, folding the towel and placing it on her lap, waiting for Pam's return.
Before long, Pam pushed open the door braving the wind and snow.
"I'm back. This is soup Gus simred, these are cookies Evelyn made, and Lewis also sent us so mountain produce." Pam put the things down, just about to say sothing, when a towel was placed over her head.
Then, Penny's fingers gently pressed on her head: "Dry off first, the rest can wait."
Penny said, rubbing Pam's hair with the towel: "Your head is almost freezing over—right, I knitted you a hat. Rember to wear it next ti you go out."
"Ah—mm, thanks."
Pam then held the towel: "I'll do it. You go to work, don't you still need to pick up Vincent and Jas?"
Penny paused, hurriedly walked to the door, put on the hats and gloves from the coat rack one by one, fully equipped, and walked out the door.
Although both Jodi and Marnie had plans to let the children go to school independently, in winter, Pelican Town was covered in thick snow everywhere, plus the roads were icy. For the children's safety, Penny still chose to pick them up from each house.
It was worth ntioning that Gunther had officially beco Pelican Town's Pokémon photographer recently. Therefore, on the days when Penny tutored, she would take the keys to open the library, stay there until closing after dropping off the children, then go ho.
Correspondingly, Gunther would pay a certain amount of compensation.
Thinking of that loan that was nowhere near being paid off, Penny took a deep breath and plunged into the wind and snow.

"The winner is—Ron from Pelican Town!"
