Next, Naoki planned to head to a secluded lakeside to contact Giratina and have it open the door to the Reversed World.
But just then, Naoki suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Naoki?"
He turned around and saw Geeta standing not far away, wearing a bikini, looking at him with surprise.
"What a coincidence, Chief!" Naoki smiled and greeted Geeta, remembering that Lono had mentioned Geeta was vacationing in the Alola Region this year.
Geeta: "Are you vacationing in the Alola Region too?"
Naoki shook his head: "Just here for some business, I'll be heading back soon."
He didn't tell Geeta that he was buying a house in Alola, worried that she'd think he was running away.
As expected, Geeta quietly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
She smiled: "In that case, hurry on! If you ever need help, feel free to contact me."
Geeta had indeed helped him a lot, whether it was with the Eevee Egg or the ancient gold coin for Gholdengo's evolution. Thinking of this, Naoki smiled and nodded:
"Then I won't disturb your vacation, Chief!"
Geeta clasped her hands and laughed softly: "I'm really looking forward to your and Lono's wedding! Let me be your witness then!"
Naoki: "...Isn't it too early for that?"
He noticed something amiss on Geeta's face, recalling the fireworks festival, when he suddenly realized that Geeta seemed quite concerned about his marriage plans.
However, Geeta gently shook her head: "Time flies. Look, in just three years the world has changed so much, maybe we'll be old before we know it!"
Naoki sincerely asked: "Are you planning to get married, Chief?"
If he remembered correctly, Geeta would be thirty in a few years.
Geeta: "Maybe after I find the next Chief Champion for Paldea? But all that depends on destiny."
Naoki: "..."
After parting ways with Geeta, Naoki returned to the Paldea Region through the Reversed World.
When he arrived at the ranch, the Blizzard finally stopped.
Naoki and Koraidon carried bags into the house, only to see Pawmot's silhouette.
Naoki was quite surprised: "Where is everyone?"
Pawmot: "Pawmo!" (We're playing hide and seek!)
Naoki immediately understood, and he said to Pawmot: "Pause the game; I brought you some tasty treats from outside, come and try them!"
Then he shouted into the house: "Everyone, come out!"
In the next moment, all sorts of Pokemon dashed out from all directions.
In the blink of an eye, a group of Pokemon appeared before Naoki.
Naoki took Malasadas and other specialities from his bag and distributed them to the Pokemon.
Cyclizar received a piece of Malasada, seemingly enjoying its taste.
Greavard picked up a tropical fruit, wagging its tail while eating.
The Indeedee Sibling accepted the pineapple Naoki handed over, having seen this fruit before, they knew how to handle it.
Flutter Mane hugged a coconut with its wing claws.
It looked left and right, then imitated Pawmot eating chocolate beans and took a big bite.
With a crunch, the coconut remained untouched, while Flutter Mane widened its eyes in shock, clearly that hurt its teeth.
"Mane!"
Flutter Mane was incredulous, quickly covering its aching mouth with wing claws.
Naoki: "..."
Is that how you eat coconuts?
He hurriedly went forward to check Flutter Mane's teeth, luckily the ancient Pokemon's teeth were sturdy enough, preventing any injury.
