Lucas had a comfortable sleep.
He was currently holding a toothbrush in his mouth, standing on the balcony, a water cup in his hand, and leisurely brushing his teeth while watching the backyard gradually wake up.
Beside him, a purple Gengar was mimicking his actions.
"Gurgle~"
Pfft.
Spitting out the water in his mouth, Lucas went back to wash his face, then headed downstairs with Gengar.
Outside the still-closed Breeding House, in a bush.
A Pokémon with two horns was staring intently at the Breeding House.
"Heli."
How could the feeling here be so good?
Its two horns on top of its head twitched.
"Heli."
Let me sneak in and take a look.
Just then, Lilligant pushed open the door of the Breeding House.
She hung out the 'Open for Business' sign for the Breeding House.
Then, after talking to Roselia, she prepared to go back inside the Breeding House.
Smelling the fragrance from the flower on Lilligant's head,
the Pokémon showed an intoxicated expression.
"Heli~"
Then, its two large horns suddenly clamped together, and it charged towards Lilligant.
"Lajie?!"
What was that?!
"Ni?"
Hearing the commotion, Lucas came running out with Gengar.
"Lilligant, what happened?"
Running out of the Breeding House door, he found Roselia hiding behind Lilligant.
Lilligant was holding an Energy Ball in her hand, throwing them forward as if they were free.
Finally, she gathered petals like a Twister.
"Lajie!"
Petal Blizzard, Twister version, flew towards that Pokémon.
Watching the Petal Blizzard Lilligant unleashed, Lucas pursed his lips.
It was a good thing Lilligant liked him a lot.
Was this called Petal Blizzard? This was a Twister destroying a parking lot, Lucas inwardly complained.
Then he looked at the Pokémon lying in the pit as the smoke cleared.
Its grayish-brown carapace was now covered in scars.
The two large horns on its head looked imposing, but now they were somewhat disfigured from the beating.
It struggled to stand up, and a petal that fell from a tree landed on it.
It immediately collapsed, and its eyes became like mosquito coils. Pinsir?
How could it be at the entrance of his Breeding House?
But he first looked at Lilligant and Roselia.
"Are you two alright, Lilligant, Roselia?"
"Lajie~"
Lilligant patted her chest, exhaled a sigh of relief, then gave Lucas a sweet smile, indicating she was fine.
"Ni~"
Roselia walked out from behind Lilligant, shaking her head, indicating she was also fine.
However, at this moment, she felt a bit guilty.
She only knew how to hide behind Lilligant when something happened.
She had wanted to become a Pokémon like Lilligant.
But she would hide whenever danger arose.
Noticing Roselia's mood was a bit off, Lilligant emitted some sweet aura.
"Lajie~"
It's okay, I'll protect you, don't worry.
"Ni."
Thank you.
Lucas saw this and squatted down.
"It's okay, Roselia, you were very brave too."
He patted Roselia's head and took her flower-like hand.
He gently sniffed it at his nose.
"Maybe after you evolve, you'll be able to protect Lilligant and us."
Seeing Lucas's affectionate gesture, Roselia's face flushed.
"Ni~"
So shy.
But when she heard what Lucas said, she looked at Lucas with some uncertainty.
"Ni?"
Can I really do that?
"Yes, you can."
"Lajie~"
"Gen gar"
"Heh… Heli—"
Just as Lucas and the others were joking after Roselia's mood improved, a weak voice came over.
Lucas looked in the direction of the voice.
He almost forgot about it.
He walked towards the Pinsir lying on the ground.
Gengar and Lilligant followed Lucas, one on his left and one on his right.
Lilligant followed Lucas to Pinsir's side.
She looked at this Pokémon that had jumped out of the bushes and charged towards her and Roselia.
She felt a little scared afterward.
However, she saw Lucas by her side.
She relaxed.
Then, she conjured an Energy Ball in her hand.
Pinsir, lying in the pit, saw Lucas approaching and was about to feign helplessness to ask for help, but then it saw Gengar beside him, and Lilligant, who was holding an Energy Ball and looking at it with full hostility.
It also recalled how it had charged at them just now, only to be met with Energy Balls. It had initially thought it could withstand them, but they turned out to be very painful when they hit.
Pinsir, who had barely endured, still felt some Joy, but then it looked up and saw a barrage of Energy Balls following.
Pinsir, who barely managed to block them, then saw a Twister made of petals flying towards it.
It hurts so much—
Thinking of this, it rolled its eyes.
And fainted again.
""...Looking at Pinsir, who had fainted again, Lucas had a headache.
Lilligant, beside him, looked at Pinsir, who had fainted again, and somewhat shyly dispelled the Energy Ball.
She subtly took Lucas's hand.
"Lajie~"
I'm not a violent girl.
Lucas held Lilligant's small hand and noticed her expression.
He smiled inwardly.
Then he tightened his grip on Lilligant's hand.
How could such a cute and beautiful Lilligant be a violent girl?
Roselia also followed along at this time.
Lucas thought for a moment and also took her hand.
Lucas looked at Pinsir lying in the pit.
He checked its status.
[Pinsir]
[Gender: Male]
[Type: Bug]
[Ability: Moxie]
[Known Moves: Harden, Focus Energy, Seismic Toss, Bug Bite, Dual Chop, Vital Throw, X-Scissor, Swords Dance, Superpower.]
[Mood: Happy to Sad]

[Description: A Pinsir from unknown origins, escaped from the Pokémon Center, looking for a place to settle down, was attracted by Lilligant, wanted to boldly pursue its love, with consequences—]
Looking at Pinsir in the description,
Lucas sighed.
He took out his phone, just about to call Sister Joy.
But as soon as he opened the screen, he found that Sister Joy had called him.
"Hello, Sister Linnea."
"Hello, Lucas, a Pinsir ran away from our Pokémon Center here."
"Mm."
"We found from surveillance that it seemed to have run towards the Breeding House."
"Mm."
"It has a mischievous temper and likes to play pranks. Remember to be careful when you see it, and also tell Lilligant and the others to be careful, because it—"
"Mm, that—Sister Linnea."
Listening to Sister Joy's breathless voice as she hurried along, Lucas thought for a moment and still spoke.
"What's wrong? Lucas, did you see it? Are Lilligant and the others alright?"
"No, Sister Linnea, listen to me, it might be, the situation will be a bit complicated."
"Anyway, come over and we'll talk."
Inside the Breeding House, Pinsir was trembling.
Blissey was treating its injuries.
Sister Joy looked at Pinsir, who was obediently receiving treatment, somewhat puzzled.
Especially when Lilligant looked at it, it immediately hid behind Blissey.
"This is—"
Sister Joy spoke, puzzled.
Then Lucas explained a bit.
Sister Joy suddenly understood, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
"Lilligant."
After she had had her laugh, she waved to Lilligant.
Lilligant walked over.
"Lajie~"
I am very gentle.
Lilligant emphasized that she was a lady.
"Well done."
Sister Joy whispered a sentence into her ear.
Lilligant smiled in surprise, then saw Sister Joy's continuous nodding.
She covered her mouth and smiled.
When she was still a Petilil and had been abandoned, Sister Joy had always comforted her.
So their relationship was very good.
At this moment, they were secretly whispering.
Lilligant's eyes occasionally glanced at Lucas.
Lucas: ?
