He ate a few pieces of Translation Nuts Cake, then called over several Pokemon to help with farm work.
Dragonite was still practicing Rain Dance by watering the fields.
Gogoat, as usual, came over to use Grassy Terrain to help take care of the crops in the field.
While they were busy, Naoki seized the opportunity to take a look at the World Tree sapling.
[World Tree Seedling: A seedling that has absorbed a large amount of Power of Grass, underwent a mutation in the process of growth due to Gogoat, where exuberant Life Force is brewing within, and finally emerged from the soil. It still needs 99,995 years and 363 days to fully grow.]
"Two days less!" Naoki was somewhat delighted.
No doubt, there's credit owed to Gogoat!
Naoki turned his head to look at the three Gogoat.
"It seems Grass Energy can help speed up the growth of the World Tree!"
But speaking of which, because they are helping to take care of this seedling, Gogoat doesn't need to dance daily anymore...
This made Naoki, who was used to seeing Gogoat dance, feel a bit unaccustomed.
He stood up, preparing to observe Gogoat tending to the pumpkins and sunflowers in the fields.
It was at this moment that a black luxury car suddenly stopped outside the ranch.
The Butterfree, sensing the unfamiliar presence, immediately informed Naoki.
Naoki looked up to see an old man in a brown suit and a fedora hat stepping out of the car.
The old man held a gentleman's cane in his hand, looking very dignified.
From a distance, the old man saw Naoki and nodded with a slight smile, "Naoki!"
"Mr. Sato!" Naoki called out excitedly.
This old man was the owner of the two Indeedee that Allen had taken him to see more than two months ago.
If Mr. Sato appeared here...
Naoki felt a stir in his heart and quickly went to greet him.
Mr. Sato still looked as friendly as ever, "Sorry, some matters delayed me, so I'm late."
"It's fine." Naoki glanced at the luxury car and asked, "Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"
Seeing his gaze, Mr. Sato laughed heartily: "No need for tea, I have to visit a friend later."
As he spoke, he turned around and said to the back seat of the black car, "Come on out! We're here."
The back seat door opened, and two normally sized Indeedee silently stepped out.
The larger one with upward horns pursed its lips, its face showing no expression.
This is the brother, Naoki thought.
The slightly smaller one with downward horns was intentionally protected behind the brother.
Unlike the brother, the sister Indeedee had a very gentle expression, her eyes bright. Seeing Naoki look at her, her lips curved up in a gentle smile.
The brother Indeedee noticed the sister's action, its lips turned downward, seemingly displeased.
It gave the sister a disapproving look and said softly, "Indee." (We agreed to first observe this human's character.)
The sister Indeedee quickly retracted her smile and said softly, "Indee!" (I know!)
Seeing this, the brother Indeedee shifted his gaze back to the human in front.
Naoki, who heard their loud conspiracy, thought: "..." Luckily, he ate several pieces of Translation Nuts this morning to direct the Pokemon's work.
Naoki didn't mind their words but rather observed their appearance, nodding to himself:
"In these past two months, they've grown quite a bit, almost unrecognizable from those little things from before."
Just wondering if they still remember him.
Mr. Sato introduced with a smile: "This is Mr. Naoki, who will take care of you in the future. You've met him once when you were little, remember? He visited the manor and brought you pudding."
Hearing this, the sister Indeedee immediately nodded excitedly: "Indee!" (Of course I remember!)
The brother Indeedee's lips turned down, looking slightly unhappy: "Indee..." (We agreed...)
The sister Indeedee stuck her tongue out, said obediently: "Indee! Indee?" (I know, I know! Brother, did you like the pudding?)
The brother Indeedee remembered the event, having tasted the pudding.
Hearing the sister's words, it seriously recalled the taste and nodded: "Indee." (It was delicious.)
The sister Indeedee, somewhat puzzled: "Indee? Indee!" (Then why don't you like this human? The pudding is good, and the human is nice!)
The brother Indeedee responded calmly: "Indee." (That's different.)
It worried inwardly and seriously told the sister: "Indee." (When seeing a human for the first time, don't invest too much emotion, don't like them too much. If they don't like us and abandon us, it will be very distressing.)
This was advice from a Meowth in the manor who had experienced abandonment.
That Meowth had been captured by a human before, but the human disliked it for being too weak and abandoned it.
Later, it was lucky to encounter Mr. Sato, who adopted it, and it has lived in the manor ever since.
So, as the brother, before ensuring this human wouldn't abandon Pokemon, it must protect the sister.
The sister Indeedee seemed to understand only partially.
Hearing this, Naoki looked at the brother Indeedee, who was acting like a little adult, diligently protecting its sister, feeling very complex inside.
He didn't directly converse with the two Indeedee but instead turned to Mr. Sato and said:
"Mr. Sato, let me introduce you to the ranch!"
As the caretaker of the Indeedee, Mr. Sato surely wanted to know what kind of life they would have here, so he needed to explain everything in detail.
As expected, hearing this, Mr. Sato's wrinkled face broke into a bright smile.
With a laugh, he said, "Then I will defer to your good judgment!"
