At the dining table.
"Meow!"
"Meow…"
The two Meowscarada, both shrunk down by Lin Feng, were happily eating the "cat food" in their bowls.
Every now and then, they would raise their heads and glare at each other, letting out hostile little cries of "Meow!"
This "hostility" had practically erupted before they had even taken a few bites.
The first one to speak was Lin Feng's Meowscarada.
┗|｀O′|┛: "Meow meow meow!!"
(ˉ▽￣～): "Meow meow meow~"
(╯▔皿▔)╯! "Meow!"
(●'◡'●): "Meow meow meow meow…"
The general meaning was quite simple.
Lin Feng's Meowscarada was questioning the other one.
"That's my Trainer! What gives you the right to hug him?!"
And the other Meowscarada's response was basically,
"So what? So what?"
Yep.
That immediately made Lin Feng's Meowscarada furious.
It was actually pretty interesting.
When they were little, back when Lin Feng's Meowscarada was still a Sprigatito, it had even taken the initiative to share Moomoo Milk with the other one.
Now that they had finally met again, they were already arguing.
"Cough, cough…"
Seeing that his Meowscarada was getting increasingly worked up, Lin Feng quickly coughed twice to interrupt their argument.
He then picked up his own Meowscarada and held it in his arms.
"It's okay, it's okay. My favorite Meowscarada is definitely still you."
A deeply moved and proud light immediately appeared in Lin Feng's Meowscarada's eyes.
(Naturally sweet voice): "Meow~"
It even turned toward the other Meowscarada and gave it a provocative look.
Hmph.
This is my Trainer!
Meanwhile, the other Meowscarada looked toward its own Trainer.
Only then did it realize that its Trainer, who had been "wandering" outside for so long, was completely absorbed in the food in front of her.
"Mmm, so good… So good… That one… Meow… don't… Wow… this is delicious…"
Only after being away from home for so long could someone truly appreciate just how good a home-cooked meal was.
╮(╯▽╰)╭--(ˉ▽ˉ;): "Meow…"
Although Meowscarada was a little helpless, it quickly adjusted its mood and began eating the delicious food on the table as well.
Mm.
It really was delicious.
Being trapped inside that illusion for an entire day had left it exhausted.
The little farce made the Serperior beside them shake its head helplessly.
Little did it know that it would soon be the one suffering from the consequences.
Because the moment Qin Shu finished eating, she immediately noticed the various Pokémon that had been shrunk down.
One by one, she began visiting them and praising them for being adorable.
Dragonite was fine.
It was already quite accustomed to physical contact like hugs.
Serperior, however, still wasn't used to being hugged by anyone other than Lin Feng.
And being called "cute"…
That was just too much.
Lin Feng rarely even praised it like that.
In any case, once Qin Shu had finished eating, she always seemed to find something to do.
Even the shrunken Blastoise was caught by her.
She squeezed its cheeks while excitedly exclaiming that it had been so long since she had seen Blastoise this small.
Lin Feng could only shake his head when he saw this.
His attention eventually settled on Farfetch'd and Gible.
Both of them were Pokémon Qin Shu had only just caught.
Although they had been somewhat restrained when they first arrived, the temptation of delicious food had completely overwhelmed them by now.
There was only one problem.
Their table manners were terrible…
The Pokémon around them were all looking at them with disgust.
But that wasn't strange.
After all, both of them had previously been wild Pokémon.
It was only natural that they hadn't learned proper table manners yet.
Speaking of Farfetch'd…
Lin Feng looked at the leek in its hands.
He had heard that Farfetch'd was essentially a Pokémon that came with its own cooking ingredient.
It wasn't that he wanted the leek it was holding.
He simply remembered that there were several red leeks growing in his Pokémon breeding house.
They could be considered a type of mutated plant, so Lin Feng had given them special treatment.
He had built a greenhouse for them so they could continue growing even during winter.
Of course, the main reason they could survive was because of the support provided by Serperior's Grassy Terrain.
Those red leeks were quite interesting.
Under normal circumstances, they were incredibly hard.
Even direct flames had trouble burning them.
But the moment they came into contact with hot water, or any kind of boiling liquid, they would immediately become soft.
Of course, as long as Farfetch'd didn't reveal this weakness, who would know?
They were excellent weapons.
There were several mutated leeks in total.
Whenever Lin Feng wanted to eat one, he only needed to cut off the leek portion.
The roots would continue growing, allowing him to harvest it again later.
And now that Qin Shu actually had a Farfetch'd…
Perhaps he could let it try one out.
But not now.
His current target was…
Lin Feng looked toward the Zoroark that was still lying on the floor.
He walked over and looked down at its tightly closed eyes.
After thinking for a moment, he raised his foot and stepped down.
The figure beneath his foot instantly transformed into something resembling bubbles and disappeared.
At the same time, its true figure appeared at the doorway.
Yep.
Illusion was indeed an incredibly ridiculous ability.
To be honest, even Lin Feng's Aura hadn't detected the fluctuation at first.
Fortunately, he had left a trace of Viridian Force inside this Zoroark.
There was no way it could escape that easily.
His Aura might not be able to detect the illusion itself, but Serperior's Aura could identify it effortlessly.
"Zoro…"
The moment Zoroark appeared, its heart jolted violently.
Its original plan of quietly slipping away immediately changed.
It accelerated and attempted to dash straight through the doorway.
But in the blink of an eye, a white dress appeared before it.
A pale blue hand was suspended in front of its face.
Then, an invisible force suddenly bound Zoroark.
Its body was lifted into the air.
No matter how violently it struggled, it couldn't break free.
Lin Feng looked at the Gardevoir standing in the doorway, then at the struggling Zoroark.
He couldn't help but speak softly.
"You couldn't escape from Dragonite's grasp. Did you really think you'd have a chance against Gardevoir?"
"Zoro…"
[Meow?!]
"Bui-bui?"
"Chamo?"
"Frooo…"
Compared with Serperior and Gardevoir, the other Pokémon had reacted a little slower.
They hadn't sensed anything unusual before.
Now that something unexpected had suddenly happened, they all turned their attention toward the commotion.
"It's fine, it's fine. You guys keep eating."
Lin Feng turned his head and reassured them.
But clearly, several Pokémon were already too interested to stay seated.
One of them was Alolan Ninetales.
As another fox Pokémon, it had been curious about the Pokémon that had been peacefully sleeping on the floor for quite some time.
The main reason was its posture.
They were both fox-like Pokémon.
So why did this one seem to walk around on two legs?
And now that it was seeing Zoroark being held by Gardevoir, Alolan Ninetales couldn't help but imitate its "struggling" movements.
It raised both front paws and started "walking" toward Lin Feng on two legs.
It even began muttering something that made Lin Feng instinctively slap a hand against his forehead.
ψ(｀∇´)ψ:
"Frooo…"
(Look! I can walk on two legs too!)
The posture…
It looked exactly like a goofy Husky.
