Coming out from behind the counter, Lilligant and Gengar looked at Lucas with curiosity.
They asked him if something was the matter.
Lucas nodded, "It seems a guest has arrived in Twinleaf Town; I'm planning to go take a look."
If it wasn't Lugia, it might be another senior returning, so Lucas prepared to go and welcome them.
Lucas was just about to tell Gengar to stay home with Banette, but Banette had already come to his side.
"Bane."
I'll go with you all.
Lucas hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
He climbed onto Gogoat, picked up Mime Jr., Vulpix, Lilligant, and Roselia onto Gogoat, then told Paul and Mr. and Mrs. Fujino, asking them to look after the Breeding House, and the group of people and Pokémon headed towards Twinleaf Town.
Gengar and Banette followed on either side.
Arriving at Twinleaf Town and preparing to head to the port, they encountered Shauna, Gothitelle, and the others who had just finished packing and were preparing to return to the Breeding House.
"Uncle, where are you all going?"
Shauna rode Rapidash over to Lucas's side and asked curiously.
Lucas patted her little head and replied, "It seems a senior from our Breeding House has come back to visit us today; we're on our way to the port to welcome it."
Shauna's eyes widened, "I see."
"This one is also a senior from our Breeding House; it's Banette."
"Hello, Banette, my name is Shauna."
Gothitelle and the others also gave their greetings one by one.
After Banette responded, it looked at Lucas.
It knew who it was, so it was urging Lucas to hurry over.
Lucas nodded and continued walking towards the port.
Shauna and the others followed behind.
Arriving at the port, they saw several blue figures from a distance.
Coming before them, Banette greeted them warmly.
"Banette."
Long time no see.
"Buuu~"
Long time no see, Banette.
Lucas looked at the Lapras in front of him; the upper part of their bodies was blue, while the lower skin from the chin to the tip of the tail was white. They had a protrusion on their heads, spiral-like structures on the sides of their heads, and gray shells on their backs with many uneven bumps. They had four fins, with the front two being larger.
It is said that Lapras is an intelligent and kind-hearted Pokémon, very cold-resistant and unafraid of icy seas. They also have high intelligence, capable of understanding human language, and enjoy carrying people across the sea. When in a good mood, they seem to Sing with a beautiful voice.
"Welcome back, Lapras."
Lapras looked at Lucas gently.
"Buuu~"
Yes, I'm back~

[Description: It got separated from its group during a typhoon and collapsed on the beach covered in wounds. The passing Grandma brought it back to the Breeding House and cared for it diligently. After its injuries healed, Grandma told it to go back and find its group. Because it had received such careful care at the Breeding House, it fell in love with the place and ended up spending the rest of its life with Grandma. In the days after returning to the sea, it often missed life at the Breeding House. A while ago, it seemed to hear a voice carried by the wind on the sea; just yesterday, it finally heard clearly—the wind said, go home and take a look.]
Lucas got off Gogoat and approached them, looking at the Lapras that appeared to be the mother of the other two, a smile appearing on his face.
"Then, shall we go home and take a look together?"
Lapras smiled gently, then looked at Lucas with tenderness.
She nodded and looked at the two young Lapras beside her.
"Buuu~"
Mommy will take you home to take a look.
The two young Lapras still looked a bit confused, but they understood their mother's words.
"Buuu Buuu~"
Go home, go home.
Their four fins flapped happily, and the splashing water hit Lucas's face.
Lucas's group and the Pokémon all burst into laughter together.
When is one the happiest?
Lucas thought about this later.
Perhaps it's when you and your favorite Pokémon are staying in your own Breeding House, and from time to time, elders from the family come home to visit, chatting together about the past, gossiping, the whole family talking and laughing. Even if they will eventually leave again, that moment of reunion should be the happiest time.
Returning to the Breeding House, Lucas dove into the kitchen with Mime Jr. and Gothitelle.
The other Pokémon, Shauna, Mr. and Mrs. Fujino, and Paul were all in the backyard waiting for the food to arrive.
Shauna lay on the Lapras siblings' backs, happily swimming around in the Lake.
The brother carried Shauna, chimecho, and Snorunt, while the sister carried Vulpix, Lilligant, Roselia, and Pachirisu. As for Dash, Machoke, and Vex, the siblings really couldn't carry them.
Shauna's laughter echoed continuously in the backyard.
Lapras watched as her two children quickly bonded with Shauna and the others, feeling very happy in her heart as well.
"Banette ?"
You also met Ninetales? Was it the one who told you the Breeding House had reopened?
Banette lay on Lapras's back, looking at the sky, just like when it was young; what it loved most was lying on Lapras's back or in Sister Mo Li's arms.
Lapras shook her head.
I heard the voice of the wind; it told me to come back and take a look.
Banette gave an "oh," then continued.
The Breeding House has really changed a lot.
Lapras smiled.
This is also quite good; just like in our time, there are many Pokémon who can play here carefree, without having to worry about anything else.
Banette thought of the Ninetales that had been by Sister Master's side from the very beginning.
I saw Big Brother Ninetales last time; he told me the Breeding House had reopened. He observed it and said it was very good, that the new owner loves Pokémon very much and is a descendant of Sister Mo Li, looking very much like her.
Lapras listened quietly to her younger brother's voice.
He said this Breeding House is even better than the original one. If it weren't for him, Big Sister Kangaskhan, Big Brother Gallade, and the others being there, the original Breeding House would probably have had many fights. But this Breeding House won't; many Pokémon truly get along in harmony, playing and frolicking together.
At that time, I asked him, "Big Brother Ninetales, if that's the case, why do you still want to leave?"
Do you know what Big Brother Ninetales said?
Lapras nodded.
How could she not know what Ninetales said?
Her thoughts were the same as Ninetales'.
This is their home, but the master of the home has changed. This home now needs to care for other Pokémon, and they have become the elders of this home.
Lapras thought to herself.
Banette continued speaking.
Big Brother Ninetales said that the master of the home has changed; it is his home, but it's also no longer his home.
Banette smiled gently and then sighed, saying.
Humans, such short lives, yet we just happen to like living with them.
Lapras laughed.
Her younger brother has grown up too.
At that moment, a voice came from the kitchen.
"Dinner's ready~"
Looking at everyone and the Pokémon happily gathered around the dining table.
Just like in the beginning.
