"Fuyuki?"
The next morning, in a hazy state, Fuyuki seemed to hear someone calling him.
He opened his eyes and saw Entei's large head looking down at him.
"Fuyuki." Entei's voice resonated in Fuyuki's mind.
Fuyuki was startled. He stared at Entei, his eyes wide open.
How did Entei know his name in this life?
"Little one, from now on, this is your name," Entei said. "This is the name I, Raikou, and Marshadow gave you together." Fuyuki opened his mouth.
Three Pokémon… gave him this name together?
However, considering Marshadow's special ability to enter the depths of human dreams, Fuyuki quickly realized that Marshadow must have told Entei and Raikou about the name.
"Fuyuki?" He pretended to be unfamiliar, feigning ignorance.
"That's right, you are Fuyuki, my child." Entei hummed softly, its voice gentler than ever before, its heart filled with unprecedented tenderness.
At that moment, Entei suddenly realized that, without noticing, this human cub had already occupied such a significant place in its heart.
"Alright, don't just stand there." Raikou's voice suddenly came from behind.
Fuyuki turned around and saw Raikou carrying a basket of berries as it walked in from outside.
It placed the berries in front of Fuyuki and said telepathically, "Let him fill his stomach first!"
"How I take care of the little one is none of your business," Entei said warily.
It still remembered what Raikou had said yesterday.
It said that the little one had told it, "Raikou is the best."
"Hmph." Raikou snorted coldly. After placing the berries in front of Fuyuki, it went to the side and lay down like a large tiger.
Fuyuki: "?"
His gaze fell on the two Pokémon before him.
Why did the atmosphere feel a little strange?
However, Fuyuki didn't dwell on it.
Because he still had something to do today.
After finishing the tree fruit, Fuyuki immediately looked at Raikou eagerly and said, "Raikou, water the trees!"
"Hmm, leave it to me!"
Raikou nodded, then stood up and walked towards the tree fruit garden beside the cave entrance, which it had personally cultivated.
Seeing this, Entei frowned slightly.
It followed, and then saw Raikou stand before a patch of land, using the rain-summoning move.
Instantly, a dark cloud appeared in the sky, and a light drizzle fell from it, irrigating the land below.
"Entei, these are the berries that Raikou and I planted together!" Fuyuki's eyes were filled with anticipation. "In a while, they'll grow into a big tree and bear lots of berries!"
"You should wait for me to come back so we can do it together," Entei said, a disapproving look in its eyes.
This was something it should be doing with the little one!
"Huh?" Fuyuki was taken aback.
Raikou snorted and said, "He's not your Pokémon's child."
Fuyuki: "?"
Entei recalled what happened last night and fell silent.
It looked at Raikou and asked, "When are you leaving?"
Raikou didn't want to leave. It wanted to stay in Mount Tensei a little longer and spend more time with this human cub.
But there were many things waiting for it outside, and Pokémon in danger were waiting for it to rescue them.
Moreover… it needed to go to that place to see if it could bring the Pokémon named Miltank back to Mount Tensei.
That way, the human cub would have an endless supply of milk. Thinking this to himself, Raikou outwardly ignored Entei, coldly replying, "None of your business."
Hearing the two large cats' words, Fuyuki was even more bewildered.
However, it took him a while to react.
"Raikou is leaving?" he asked.
Entei looked at him and nodded slightly: "Yes, Raikou, like me, has very important things to do. But don't worry, it will return once it's finished."
Raikou also looked over, but at that moment, it suddenly recalled the image of that human cub sitting on Mount Tensei, gazing into the distance, waiting for Entei's return.
If it left, would Fuyuki miss it like that?
Fuyuki was very clear that the three sacred beasts each had their own mission.
Although his time with Raikou was short, Fuyuki quite liked this large cat.
A typical proud but soft-hearted tsundere personality.
"Raikou, don't forget me!" Fuyuki said.
Raikou thought to itself, Of course! He can get along well with Pokémon and even helps injured ones; it has already accepted this human child.
"I'm leaving. I'm entrusting Fuyuki to you," Raikou said, turning to Entei.
"Of course," Entei replied earnestly.
Raikou glanced back at Fuyuki, then began to run across the land with its powerful limbs.
Its agile figure quickly disappeared from Fuyuki's sight.
Only after Raikou left did Fuyuki suddenly remember something.
"Oh no!"
"What is it?" Entei asked quickly.
"Raikou's gone! No one's going to charge my Mushroom Lantern, and no one's going to water it!" Fuyuki was on the verge of tears.
Entei: "..."
It pondered for a moment, then comforted him, "Don't worry, little one, there might be Pokémon in the forest that can do these things. I'll go find them and bring them over to help." Fuyuki sighed helplessly, "Sigh, that's all we can do."
"You really like Raikou?"
Entei asked casually, "Raikou told me that you once told it that Raikou is the best."
"Hmm?" Fuyuki was taken aback by Entei's words.
He turned to look and saw Entei with a serious expression, seemingly unconcerned, as if it were just a casual question.
Fuyuki: "..."
This big cat, could it be jealous?
But then again, Entei adopted him and has always taken such good care of him. Anyone would be heartbroken to hear such a thing.
Entei must be feeling a little sad! Thinking of this, Fuyuki nodded and explained, "Because Raikou helped me find many tree fruits to keep me warm. Not only that, he even used his own paws to plant these tree fruits for me!"
Oh... Entei's heart sank.
Although its facial expression didn't change much, its eyes revealed an undisguised sense of loss.
"However, to me, Entei is the first!" Fuyuki continued.
Entei's eyes immediately brightened, its previously dim gaze instantly filled with light.
"Marshadow is second best, Raikou is third best!" Fuyuki reached out and hugged the large cat in front of it, signaling it not to be sad.
It wasn't the kind of person to be ungrateful; after all, without Entei, it would probably be dead by the roadside by now.
"Little one..." Hearing these words, tears seemed to glisten in Entei's eyes.
It lowered its large head and gently rested it on Fuyuki's small shoulder.
This child, it would protect for the rest of its life.
