Just watching this group of Pokemon play in the playground he built filled Naoki with immense joy.
To foster a bond between the Pokemon and Snorlax, he specifically went back to the house, found some Berries, and made two large boxes of Gluttony Pokeblock, then handed them to Pawmot and the others.
"As a thank you for letting you play on its tummy, give this gift to Snorlax!" Naoki said with a smile, "Don't forget to tell it 'thank you'."
"Paomo!"
Pawmot nodded its small head, reached out to take the two boxes of Pokeblock, and flew back to Snorlax's side.
Smelling the aroma, Snorlax opened its sleepy eyes.
Following that, it saw a group of small and adorable Pokemon standing in front of it, saying thank you while handing over delicious food.
Snorlax opened its mouth wide, visibly stunned by the sudden scene.
But soon, it came to its senses, took those two boxes of Pokeblock, and swallowed them whole.
Satisfied after filling its stomach, Snorlax lay back on the grass, sleeping peacefully.
Before falling asleep, it stretched out its body, revealing its big belly for the few small Pokemon to play on.
Naoki stood at a distance watching this scene, a smile unconsciously forming on his face.
Great, the playground construction is complete.
Next, it's time to build the Wooloo Ranch and start raising those fluffy Wooloo.
But before that, he needs to have a good sleep.
After a day of busy work, Naoki returned home, ready to enjoy the delicious dinner his sister Indeedee prepared for him.
Meanwhile, in the Johto Region, at a seaside city called Alto Mare.
After a long flight over the sea, the Heroic Expedition Team has arrived here.
This is a stunning Water City, with complex small canals running through the town, as the morning sun rises, enveloping the entire city in a gentle dawn.
The people living in this place, along with Pokemon, paddle flat-bottomed boats through the town's canals, starting a new day of life.
The bustling calls of the marketplace, the sound of water, and the ringing of bells from the city center's Great Cathedral all resound together, weaving a rich atmosphere of life.
Unnoticed at the top of the Great Cathedral, a sharp-eyed, yellow-feathered Bird-type Pokemon sits, with a satchel tied to its side.
Beside this Bird-type Pokemon stand two adorable, small-sized Pokemon.
Teddiursa stands at the top of the Great Cathedral, listening to the mellow yet slightly dull sound of the bells below, overlooking the entire big city, its eyes full of a strange sparkling light.
"Ima!" (It's so pretty!)
Mew's blue eyes subtly flicker as its gaze falls on the Pokemon running on the streets and the shops on the side selling delicacies, then it speaks:
"miu!" (Let's get something to eat in exchange!)
Teddiursa naturally has no objections.
So the two Pokemon turn their eyes to Zapdos.
Zapdos remains silent for a moment, then shows a helpless expression: "Chirp." (Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back here.)
Its size is too large, so to avoid drawing attention, it's better to wait here.
"Ima~"
"miu~"
Mew and Teddiursa happily nod, then take a few Berries they picked in the wild from Zapdos's satchel and quietly fly down.
Just before descending, Mew silently transforms, becoming a small Totodile, and blends into the crowd with Teddiursa, running on the cobblestone road.
They arrive in front of a shop selling food, raising their heads with eager looks towards the delicious items on the counter.
The shop owner is an elderly woman with graying hair, seeing the appearance of these two Pokemon, a smile forms on her face:
"Two adorable little ones, are you hungry? Would you like to taste the candied hawthorn made by grandma? Here, have some!"
She hands out two skewers of candied hawthorn.
Teddiursa and Mew reach out to take them, then place the Berries they prepared and a few small pearls on the counter.
Naoki said, this is an exchange.
If there's something wanted in a human town, you mustn't steal; you should use precious items to exchange with the owner.
Seeing the actions of these two Pokemon, the elderly woman is slightly startled, then her face lights up with an even happier smile:
"Ah~ Is this the payment for the candied hawthorn? What adorable little guys! Here, I'll give you these extra skewers as well!"
Feeling deep affection for such cute and well-behaved Pokemon, the elderly woman lovingly wraps up two more skewers of candied hawthorn and hands them to Teddiursa.
Having acquired the items, Mew and Teddiursa joyfully bid farewell to this human and turned to run off.
They run into an empty alley, ready to return to find Zapdos, when Teddiursa suddenly alerts, turning around to gaze behind.
"miu?"
Mew, having just returned to its original form, looks at Teddiursa's action with some confusion, turning its head, it sees a girl in a skirt standing not far away, curiously looking at them.
The two Pokemon are slightly stunned.
But that girl unexpectedly runs over to them, suddenly coming close to Mew, observing it closely.
"miu!"
Mew jumps in fright.
Beside, Teddiursa murmurs: "Ima..."
However, in the next second, the girl in front of them reveals a smile.
Soon after, she starts changing as well.
From a human girl, transforming into a mysterious Pokemon with a streamlined body!
This Pokemon has a red-colored rear half body, with wings resembling a jet engine, fins like fish, and a blue triangle mark on its chest.
Its upper body is white, with a red face, triangular ears, and a white pentagonal pattern on its forehead.
It blinks its eyes, then beams with an innocent and joyful smile.
Witnessing this, Mew and Teddiursa freeze on the spot.
