Chapter 307:
Hayashi Kaede nodded. "I should head back. There are many Pokémon at ho, and Tsareena can’t wait any longer."
"That makes sense. Then I wish you a smooth journey, Mr. Hayashi, and I hope Bounsweet can see her mother soon."
Mallow, thinking of Bounsweet’s situation yesterday, agreed understandingly.
Hayashi Kaede didn’t summon Dragonite imdiately. Instead, he looked at Mallow.
When he watched the ani before, he always thought Mallow was a very warm-hearted person.
At the beginning of the Sun & Moon ani, she showed Ash around the Pokémon School.
She also actively helped Lillie overco her "fear of touching Pokémon."
A child like this shouldn’t lose her mother at such a young age.
"Staying the night and eating that delicious stew... I feel quite bad. These are so Energy Cubes my Bounsweet likes. Please take them as paynt for the al and lodging."
Hayashi Kaede opened his storage capsule and took out all the remaining Bounsweet Energy Cubes he had brought this ti.
There were about five or six bags left.
"This..."
Mallow was both surprised and embarrassed.
But the Bounsweet on her shoulder was already spinning in joy.
"Bounsweet! Bounsweet~" (Take it, take it...)
Yesterday, this person gave it delicious Energy Cubes.
It nudged its Trainer, urgently urging her to accept them.
"Alright."
Since Bounsweet was so eager, Mallow could only accept.
"Also... besides being a Breeder, I’m also a doctor and a Pokémon doctor..."
Hayashi Kaede chose his words carefully. "If, in the future, there are any difficult or complicated illnesses, you can contact . I’m in the Eastova region, at a place called the Hayashi Family Breeding House. If it’s really urgent... you can call , preferably with a Rotom Phone."
"Ah?"
Mallow stared blankly at Hayashi Kaede, not understanding why he would suddenly say this.
"Just ntioning it. I’ll leave my phone number for you."
Hayashi Kaede took a piece of paper from his storage capsule, wrote down his number, and handed it to the still sowhat confused Mallow.
Then he took out Dragonite’s Poké Ball, summoned Dragonite, and flew into the sky with wtwo.
He left only Mallow standing there, holding the paper, puzzled.
After a good while, she shook her head and put the paper away.
....
Over the ocean.
Hayashi Kaede sat on Dragonite’s back, while wtwo, flying beside him, couldn’t help but speak up, "Is that girl going to have an accident?"
Having been around Hayashi Kaede for a while now, wtwo was well aware that he usually had a reason for doing such peculiar things.
Hayashi Kaede looked at wtwo with slight surprise.
It was hard to imagine wtwo caring about such things.
But he still explained, "No, it’s her mother who will fall ill. If not treated in ti, she might die."
"Oh."
wtwo fell silent.
It didn’t have a mother and couldn’t understand the significance.
But it suddenly realized that every Pokémon, every person, actually had parents.
Unlike it, which was created by humans.
The only sowhat related being was that w who was always who-knows-where.
But it seed it had never seen Hayashi Kaede’s parents?
It couldn’t help but ask curiously, "What about your mother? I don’t think I’ve ever seen your mother?"
"..."
Hayashi Kaede was silent for a mont before replying,
"They went missing a long ti ago."
He knew wtwo asked out of genuine curiosity, without any ulterior motive.
"Missing? Haven’t you thought about looking for them?" wtwo continued.
"I did. Couldn’t find them."
He had even asked Champion Kazephyr to search, but there was no information.
That Apricot Hill—after gaining Aura abilities, Hayashi Kaede had also taken Serperior and Pidgeot to explore it once.
But there were still no discoveries.
Then again, while Aura users were rare, the Eastova League was vast; there must be Lucario out there too.
"Oh..."
wtwo responded again and didn’t ask further.
For the rest of the journey back, only the sea wind howled.
After who knows how long, wtwo asked another question, "So that’s why you were so eager to help Bounsweet find its mother, and also help that girl?"
"Uh... You’re talking a lot today..."
Hayashi Kaede shot it a look and chose not to answer.
wtwo was taken aback, then began to reflect.
"A lot? Hm... I guess I have spoken more than usual today."
The amount it had spoken these two days probably equaled what it usually said in half a month.
It paused for a mont, then spoke again, "I still want to know..."
Hayashi Kaede: "Yes."
After giving this reply, Hayashi Kaede beca amused. "Looks like you really enjoyed yesterday’s battles, huh?"
"They were good. Pity they were still a bit too weak." wtwo sounded sowhat reminiscent.
"I think there are Pokémon that could give you a good fight, a really satisfying one."
"Hm? Who?" wtwo beca interested.
Hayashi Kaede smiled, a strange light in his eyes. "There’s a very strong Pokémon at the Breeding House. But you might not be able to beat it just yet."
"The Breeding House? At ho?"
wtwo was stunned. It thought hard but couldn’t figure out who at the Breeding House could fight it.
That Gardevoir?
Although strong, it was still far below itself.
"You’ll know when we get back." Hayashi Kaede kept it a mystery.
"Why wait until we’re back?" wtwo didn’t understand.
"Because I don’t really feel like talking to you right now."
After saying this, Hayashi Kaede sat on Dragonite’s back and closed his eyes. No matter how much wtwo asked, he ignored it.
wtwo: (〃＞＜)!
Damn Hayashi Kaede!
Teasing it like that!
"Hahaha..."
Only after wtwo grew tired of asking did Hayashi Kaede finally burst into laughter!
In this atmosphere, Dragonite gradually spotted the land of the Eastova League region.
...
Around noon on November 24th,
Inside the Breeding House.
The Breeding House was quiet just after lunch.
Serperior was tending its plantation, Indeedee was harvesting berries, Gardevoir was making Energy Cubes in the kitchen, and Steenee was following Serperior, learning how to use Grassy Terrain.
It felt it had grown up and should learn from Sister Serperior how to properly care for the plantation.
