"By the way, Mualani. Are you busy this weekend?"
"Hnfmh? Nwow. Mwhy?"
Dante absentmindedly stroked Mualani's hair. He is currently sitting at the edge of the toilet seat, with the girl's head in-between his crotch.
"I'm gonna go home this weekend. I figured it would be nice to introduce you to my parents."
"BwuH?! Cough cough!"
"Be careful!"
Mualani choked and almost bit off Dante's cock. She retreated and stared up at him with a red face.
"Y-you! What do you mean?"
"Huh? I just figured it would be nice to introduce my friends to them. Candice and the others already agreed to go. What else do you think I mean?"
"...hmph."
"Hey!"
Dante yelped as her grip tightened. Looking at her pouting lips, he inwardly chuckled. It seems their relationship of being fuck buddies was moving into a more intimate territory.
Not that he minded it. While purely physical sex is fun, there's just something more…special, when doing it with someone you love.
After another round, they playfully washed each other's bodies before getting out of the bath. Mualani still had her group project to do, and Dante was certain some Pokemon of his wouldn't rest if he didn't return soon.
Sure enough, when he entered the room, he found Mawile sitting at the corner of the bed, chatting and giggling with Ninetales. When she saw him enter, her eyes lit up and she eagerly waved.
At the side, Pikachu was watching some kind of fantasy action movie with Eevee, while Ursaring and Riolu were playing handheld games with Azumarill watching beside them.
"Now, didn't I tell you guys to rest?"
"Mawile~" (Ehehe, I was waiting for you.)
"Pika!" (We'll sleep after this one.)
"Ursaring." (Just one more round, Dad.)
Dante helplessly shook his head. He hugged Eevee and lay down to watch the show with her and Pikachu.
On the screen, there was a Wimpod with tears in the corner of his eyes. He was struggling to walk with a rock behind his back. Judging from the music, it seemed to be the beginning of a training montage.
From this, Dante can already guess the full story. This is probably one of those feel-good stories for Pokemon again. At the end, Wimpod will meet a villain who will hurt his friends. Then, under the desire to protect them, he'd evolve into Golisopod and save the day.
Sure enough, other than the villain harming his mother, the story proceeded to go into the direction Dante predicted. He glanced at Pikachu and Eevee who were excitedly discussing the show and smiled softly.
Oh well. As long as they're happy.
At this time, the others had already lay down on the bed. Mawile and Ninetales occupied each of his side, and Eevee continued to snuggle into his embrace.
Meanwhile, he and Pikachu used the left side of Ursaring belly as a pillow, with Azumarill and Riolu doing the same on the other side.
"Good night, everyone."
"Pika/Maw/Ursa/Azu/Nine/Eev/Rio~" (Good night~)
Dante closed his eyes. His consciousness began to dim as sleep slowly encroached upon him. However, just as he was about to embrace it, a movement in his arms forced him awake.
"Urgh. Eevee, what's wrong?"
"Eevee." (Dad, I can't sleep. Can I watch another movie?)
"No. Here's a Sleep Seed. Good night."
Dante flicked the seed into Eevee's open mouth. Finally, seeing her nod off, he smiled in satisfaction before falling asleep.
…
"Yawn~"
"Hey, Victini. Did you sleep well?"
Victini opened his eyes in confusion. Seeing Dante and the others surrounding him, memories of what happened last night returned.
"Dante. Everyone. So…it wasn't a dream, after all."
"Hahaha, no, it's real. Welcome to our base!"
Victini looked around in wonder. At this time, he was no longer on the floating bed Dante had made. Instead, he lay on a soft haystack which was present all around the room. Other than that, the room's rocky walls also hung paintings of the Omnipotent Travelers.
There was a picture of Dante grinning as Azumarill and Pikachu were fighting another Pokemon behind him, Pikachu with his body coated in yellow lightning, Azumarill with one fist raised, and many more.
Among them, the largest portrait grabbed his attention. In it, there was everyone of Team Omnipotent Travelers standing side-by-side, with the sun rising right behind them.
"That painting is taken in the main room. It only had me, Pikachu, Azumarill, and Teddiursa at first. Now, our number has doubled. You'll also have a place there if you decide to join the team."
Dante stared at the painting in nostalgia. He had commissioned it from Smeargle in town at quite the hefty price. However, the quality of the work made it very worth it.
In the middle, he and Pikachu stood as the founding members. Azumarill stood imposingly beside Pikachu with his arms crossed. Meanwhile, Teddiursa was grabbing onto his fur.
Smeargle added the Mawile-Riolu siblings who joined shortly after, followed by Eevee and Vulpix. And now, there's Victini who is hopeful to join next.
After talking for a while, they moved to the dining room to eat breakfast. Since they accomplished quite a feat, Dante took out some of the Perfect Apples they had in the bag.
"Hmm~!"
Everyone groaned in bliss. It was especially true for Victini, who hadn't tasted anything for the last three thousand years.
"Why couldn't we eat this everyday, Dad? It's so delicious!"
Eevee asked as she licked her paws. From birth until now, she only had 6 or 7 chances to eat a Perfect Apple.
"Heh, if we really do that, we'll have Wigglytuff storming our base the next thing tomorrow. You know, even the Guildmaster only eats 1 or 2 Perfect Apples a day."
"Eh? Why should we be scared if he comes? Is the Guildmaster stronger than Brother Azumarill?"
Dante paused. Seeing the curious expression on Eevee, Ninetales, and even Mawile and Riolu's faces, he shook his head with a wry smile.
"I'd say he's a little weaker than Azumarill. But it's not whether he's strong or not. The dungeon where this apple can be harvested was discovered and claimed by Wigglytuff. So unless you want our team to be blacklisted, to eat a Perfect Apple every day, we can only find another dungeon that grows the same fruit."
And from what Uxie said, that is very unlikely. Dante mused.
"Then it's easy! I'll also find another Perfect Apple Tree and claim it as my own!"
Eevee declared as she raised her paw in the air, ambition burning in her eyes.
"That's nice. Anyway, I'll be taking Cofagrigus to the Magnezone Corps. Mawile and Victini will come with me. The rest, go to the Guild to do the usual. We'll meet up at Xatu's place after everyone is done to appraise the treasure boxes."
"Ehh? 'That's nice?'!? Please show some more support for your daughter's dreams, Dad!"
Eevee rushed at Dante while wailing. However, a rock suddenly appeared in her path, causing her to trip and roll over.
"Does anyone have any questions?"
""None!""
"Me! I have one!"
"Since there's none. Then everyone, move out!"
""Yes!""
"Don't ignore meeee!"
Everyone laughed at Eevee as they left the base one by one.

(Early that morning- when Team Omnipotent Travelers returned to Treasure Town)
The Pokemon were just starting their day. The Kecleon Brothers set up their stall, Chansey prepared her teaching materials for the incoming children, and Exploration Teams made their way to Wigglytuff's Guild.
In this seemingly peaceful morning, a weird platform suddenly flew above everyone's heads. Everyone glanced up in surprise. And when they saw the identity of the Pokemon there, a minor commotion ensued.
"Oh my god! They're back!"
"They went to a 5-star dungeon, right? Why did they return after just one day?"
"Did they fail?"
"How could they fail?! Didn't you see Azumarill punching a hole in the cloud yesterday!? They must have finished exploring the dungeon already. That's why they've returned!"
Among those looking at the Exploration team, a dark shadow hidden in the corner widened its eyes.
"Impossible! How can they return from that dunge- wait. Is that…Cofagrigus!? They managed to capture him?! How?! He had all five Regis! Did they defeat them or…?"
The shadow frowned. It stared at the retreating figure of Team Omnipotent Travelers until they disappeared from sight.
"...kekeke. No. It doesn't matter. It's a good thing if they are powerful. That only means I have a more powerful tool I can use against Darkrai."
The shadow's face contorted in seething rage. However, it only lasted for less than a second before it was replaced with a calculating grin.
