Baimu dragged the Hydreigon that was biting his sleeve around.
The electrical appliances inside the house had mostly been replaced, but the arrangement of the furniture remained unchanged from before.
The backyard, however, had expanded considerably.
Obviously, Shanren had taken into account the increasing number of Pokémon in his team, and the cramped environment was inconvenient for their activities, so he arranged it specifically.
And the most surprising thing was the addition of a not-too-big, not-too-small artificial lake outside the backyard fence.
Although it's a public land where Ayana's Water-type Pokémon can be seen inhabiting, before the natural environment of the mountains was completely transformed, it was enough to solve the urgent problem where the Altered-color Milotic had nowhere to live and could only be confined to bathtubs, small pools, and other cramped environments.
"Milo~"
The Altered-color Milotic happily swam in the lake.
Despite the sweltering climate in Pyrite Town, where the radiant sun heated the lake water to a boiling point, it was far more comfortable than the dry air.
Pokémon are said to be sensitive yet oblivious to their living environment; they can firmly reject places that make their bodies uncomfortable, yet remain unaware of the subtle changes the environment brings to them.
Perhaps in a few hundred or thousand years, the Ore Region might see Pokémon with regional forms similar to those in Alola, Galar, and Padia.
"There's more to be done than just planting trees..."
Baimu looked up at the sky.
Although the environmental structure of the Pokémon World was vastly different from his previous life, the fact remains that the climate on continents is influenced by factors such as monsoons and ocean currents.
A single rain by the Lugia Mother and Child is not enough to bring spring to the entire Ore Region.
However, if both of them, along with the future restored Shadow Lugia, could slightly affect the ocean currents at the bottom of the sea, they might improve the Ore climate within a safe range.
Many things are interconnected; the loss of balance depicted in the movie "Lugia's Burst Birth" brings great harm.
This world is like a computer program.
Inside, there might exist a mountain-like "code," and a slight disturbance could cause the originally running program to error.
Baimu absolutely doesn't wish for his and Shanren's desires to cause the end of the world to descend...
Why does it suddenly feel like they might be the antagonists in the next movie?
He curled his lips, greeted the swimming Altered-color Milotic, and then dragged the Hydreigon back to the lush backyard.
"Roar!"
Aggron came up to him immediately, pointed at the large tree with lush green shade, and showed an awkward, clumsy smile.
Baimu raised his hand and patted its forehead, "Don't worry, once the transformation is done, we'll definitely find someone to move you over!"
Aggron had a deep affection for the flowers, plants, and trees it had painstakingly nurtured, so it desired to have them transplanted to that mountain in the future.
Such a thing couldn't be refused, as long as it's willing to dig three feet and transplant roots, it's a minor matter.
Aggron joyfully went off to water the flowers and trees.
Inside the house.
The majority of Pokémon were situated there.
Among them, Blissey was wearing an apron and headscarf, holding a cloth and broom, looking around confusedly because it was excited to have a major cleaning, only to find Shanren had everything cleaned already.
Not mentioning the dust on the floor and tables, even the drains were spotlessly clean.
Feeling like it had no place to exercise its abilities, the dejected Blissey scrunched up its little face.
"Tidy up the items inside Gengar's belly; with no surprise, we'll be staying in the Ore Region for several months."
Baimu couldn't bear to see it, so he actively assigned work to this naturally diligent big egg.
"Happy~"
Blissey's eyes lit up, happily went off to work.
By the floor-to-ceiling window.
Mawile sat at its most familiar place, elegantly waiting for the Trainer or Blissey to serve it dessert and tea, while its doll was seated across it.
Seeing the Trainer appear, it picked up the silver hammer on the table and struck the summoning bell.
"Cheedo~"
"..."
Baimu immediately smiled and said, "Alright, princess, please wait; the items will be ready shortly."
During the nearly half-month life at sea, Mawile surprisingly became more diligent, even more so than when balancing battles and the Gorgeous Competition.
Baimu couldn't be happier.
What he hoped most was for Pokémon to self-motivate; the willingness in this world brings harvests higher than reluctance.
That's the reason why Galarian Corsola, despite joining the team early, is ranked third last in terms of strength.
Additionally, some time ago, Mawile became somewhat enchanted with watching TV dramas; waking up early each morning, the first thing it did was grab its phone and even watched while eating breakfast.
This made Baimu fully understand the complex feelings parents had in his past life, watching their children immersed in their phones.
The crucial part is Baimu himself doesn't play much, supposedly leading by example.
He could only attribute it to Mawile's longing for unknown information and mental pleasure, wanting to persuade it into moderation, but not knowing how to begin.
Yes, he wished for Pokémon to have their own hobbies.
However, some hobbies, once excessive, aren't very charming.
Who could have expected that without his indirect prompting, Mawile began to reduce the time spent on its phone watching shows and invested more energy into training.
According to Mawile itself, it's striving to punch Aggron unconscious with one strike.
Aggron merely smiled awkwardly at this, seeming unbothered, yet secretly doubled its efforts as well.
Seeing even the most capricious princess starting to double down, how could the slower ones, not part of the three giants, endure?
Mawile's awareness evidently affected the entire team.
Even Galarian Corsola also started adding extra training, leaving other Pokémon stunned—
