Accompanied by the setting sun, the people and Pokémon at the Breeding House enjoyed their dinner.
After dinner, it was the usual traditional program.
The Kricketune began to play enchanting music.
The grandpas and grandmas nearby showcased their youthful vigor.
Some sang loudly, while others danced various styles under the glow of the bonfire.
They gathered around the newly repaired road.
Passing pedestrians looked a bit confused.
Upon learning that it was a newly repaired road, they observed it carefully.
They found that it had indeed improved significantly.
Seeing the lively atmosphere, they joined in.
They also learned that this was due to the presence of the Breeding House.
They observed the Breeding House carefully.
And kept it firmly in their minds.
The moon rose, and silver frost sprinkled over the people and Pokémon gathered around the bonfire.
The bonfire gradually extinguished.
The crowd also gradually dispersed.
The Pokémon also returned to the forest or the backyard of the Breeding House one after another.
Lucas stood at the entrance.
He looked at the road, now called "Breeding Path" by everyone, no longer a road named by numbers.
At first, he argued fiercely but was ultimately outnumbered.
He was forced to admit that this road was called the "Breeding Path."
Perhaps some interesting things would happen on this road, known as the "Breeding Path," in the future.
Lucas thought of this, then closed the gate tightly.
Sitting on a chair on the balcony, Lucas quietly sent messages on his phone.
Perhaps it was due to the blessings of Lugia and Celebi.
The autumn night was no longer cold but cool.
The wind was strong, but it wasn't a cold wind.
Perhaps it was because his physical condition was starting to improve?
Lucas had this feeling.
His fingers flew.
"Today, I fixed the road from Twinleaf Town to Sandgem Town via the Breeding House."
Cynthia: ?
After Lucas finished speaking.
Cynthia: I'm suddenly looking forward to walking on a road full of blooming flowers then.
Lucas: Eating ice cream?
Cynthia: Yes!
Lucas: With Garchomp by my side?
Cynthia: Yes!
Lucas: And Gengar and Lilligant and the others?
Cynthia: Yes!
Lucas: I also planted cherry blossoms.
Cynthia: Yes!
Retract.
Cynthia: !
Cynthia: Cherry blossoms?
Lucas: Yes!
Cynthia: I can't wait!
Lucas put away his phone, holding Vulpix in his arms, while Gengar was watching cartoons nearby.
Sniffing the floral scent from the flower garden in the backyard, Lucas fell into a state of relaxation.
He inexplicably hummed a familiar melody.
"Castle in the Sky."
The backyard fell into silence.
After humming the song.
Lucas carried Vulpix back into the house.
"Goodnight, everyone."
"Gengar! Shh~"
The Breeding Path at night.
A Pokémon walked on this newly repaired road.
It looked around curiously.
It came to a small mound.
It smiled, then squatted down and shook off the dirt from the mound.
Leaving only a thin layer.
A small Pokémon emerged from its front pouch.
It looked around curiously.
"Kang?"
Where is this?
That Pokémon looked around, then continued walking forward.
This, you see, used to be my home.
It arrived at the entrance of the Breeding House and sensed the presence of many Pokémon inside the Breeding House.
It seemed the new owner of the Breeding House had found his new companions.
It smiled.
Then it prepared to turn and leave.
"Gengar?"
A voice called it back.
"Kang?"
Kangaskhan looked at Gengar under the moonlight.
Are you his companion?
I mean, the companion of this Breeding House's new owner.
Gengar glanced at Kangaskhan and the small Kangaskhan in its pouch.
It suddenly remembered the Ninetales it had seen before.
Then it nodded.
"Gengar!"
"Hello, senior~"
Kangaskhan nodded gently.
Then it prepared to leave.
After learning from its mouth that the Breeding House had reopened, it had traveled over mountains and rivers to return.
Now seeing that the Breeding House had indeed reopened.
And there were also traces of other Pokémon.
It was satisfied.
It had seen its former dwelling place.
It turned to leave.
The small Kangaskhan in its pouch, however, turned around and looked at Gengar behind it.
Click~
Hearing the sound, Kangaskhan turned its head.
The gate of the Breeding House was opened.
Under the moonlight, a group of little ones stood at the entrance.
Lilligant, Roselia, Mime Jr., Gothorita, Marill.
Vulpix was sleeping soundly in Lucas's arms.
Vespiquen was resting in its hive.
Dash and the others were patrolling the entire backyard.
"Lilligant~"
Lilligant stepped forward and bowed slightly.
Won't you come in? Won't you come in and see this place of memories?
Kangaskhan looked down at Lilligant.
At this moment, Lilligant was gentle, intellectual, and elegant.
It seemed the new owner was quite good, having raised Lilligant so well.
Then it looked at the other Pokémon.
It could see the deep reliance they had for this place in their eyes.
Mime Jr. ran over.
"Mime Jr.~"
Listening to Mime Jr.'s voice, the small Kangaskhan in Kangaskhan's arms looked up at Kangaskhan.
After getting a nod, it crawled out of the pouch.
It went to Mime Jr.'s side and followed Mime Jr. into the Breeding House.
Kangaskhan followed Lilligant into the Breeding House.
Then I'll come back and take a look.
Click~
The gate closed again.
Kangaskhan arrived in the backyard.
Gengar was about to wake Lucas.
But was stopped by Kangaskhan.
Tomorrow, we can still meet tomorrow.
Kangaskhan said gently.
Gengar grinned.
"Gengar—"
"As you wish, senior."
As the big brother of the Breeding House, it had the responsibility to take good care of the returning seniors.
Although Dash was nominally the big sister of the Breeding House, when it came to dealing with people, it was always the second sister Lilligant who stepped forward.
So now, Gengar and Lilligant were accompanying Kangaskhan as it toured the backyard of the Breeding House.
Kangaskhan listened carefully to their introductions.
Then it looked around, its eyes filled with memories.
The voices of Mime Jr. and the small Kangaskhan came from nearby.
Kangaskhan looked over.
Unknowingly.
Mime Jr. and the small Kangaskhan had become the small Kangaskhan and Ralts.
Beside them, a Ninetales lay beside a young girl, quietly watching them play.
Kangaskhan came back to its senses.
"Kang."
I'll wander around by myself; you all go back first.
Gengar and Lilligant exchanged glances.
Then they nodded.
Kangaskhan let the small Kangaskhan stay with Mime Jr. and the others.
It then began to wander around by itself.
The afternoon tea area no longer had the familiar parasols; a flower garden had been added next to it, with flowers blooming beautifully and a fragrant aroma filling the air.
It seemed the planting area had finally become a true planting area.
It met Dash and the others head-on.
It spoke a few words softly.
Then continued forward.
It arrived at the Lake area.
It saw the Golduck family and Marill family resting.
It greeted their leader Pokémon.
Then it learned the reason why they came to live here.
It nodded.
Then continued forward.
After passing through the forest area, it chatted with Vespiquen for a while.
Finally, it arrived at the entrance of the forest.
Are fences no longer needed here?
Ninetales, you were right.
