Next, Ange asked Yveltal for some feedback regarding the consumption of the World Tree Tofu, and upon learning that Yveltal felt exceptionally good after eating it, Ange felt incredibly comforted in his heart.
His hard work was not in vain.
After seeing Ange, Yveltal curled back up on the sofa to continue resting, and Mew and Sneasel simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let us go home and take a look," Ange said, "Diancie and the others should be in the training room right now."
The several Pokémon nodded.
At this time, Diancie and the others were indeed training in the training room when suddenly, the sound of a door opening came from outside.
Munchlax, Inteleon, Gengar, Passimian, and Magearna, who were in the middle of training, could not help but stop their movements.
Who was it?
Subsequently, they saw Ange walk in, bringing Metagross, Komala, Pawmot, Sneasel, and Mew with him.
"Everyone, I am back!" Ange shouted happily.
"Munch~"
Munchlax flew over at the first moment it saw Ange.
However, just as it wanted to hug Ange, it saw that Ange was holding an incubator in his arms, and what was loaded inside was precisely that egg Pawmot had picked up at Mt. Moon.
"Paw paw~ Paw paw~"
At this time, Pawmot pounced over, locking Munchlax in a tight embrace all at once, and the two Pokémon instantly hugged each other, jumping and bouncing.
Diancie walked to Ange's side in pleasant surprise and asked, "Why did you return at this time?"
Ange whispered a few words into Diancie's ear, and Diancie instantly understood what was going on.
Subsequently, Inteleon, Gengar, and Passimian gathered around Ange one after another, narrating their feelings of missing him during these days to Ange.
Since Ange was back, everyone had no mind to train further, so they followed Ange to the outside living room one after another.
Volcanion was the first Pokémon to know Ange was back besides Yveltal because it did not need to go to the training room to train, and when Ange returned, it was lazily lying on the sofa, using a phone to watch a Poké-Soccer match.
Ange was finally back, so the family lay on the sofa together to chat.
Mew, Pawmot, and Munchlax mischievously played a trampoline game on the sofa, and bursts of laughter echoed in the living room.
Sneasel turned around and around in the room, sizing up this "luxuriously" decorated living room with novelty.
It had lived in a human city for a long time, so it knew many things about the human world like the back of its hand, but it had never entered a human home.
This was the first time.
The place it used to live in before was too dilapidated, so it naturally felt that Ange's home was luxurious.
Meanwhile, Ange sat and chatted together with Diancie, Passimian, and Magearna.
Diancie narrated some trivial, everyday matters that happened on the plateau during this period to Ange, so Ange learned that several Marill had evolved into Azumarill, and also learned that the home vegetable garden was highly productive again.
Passimian narrated what wine it had brewed recently to Ange, and also told Ange that Infernape had become its new drinking buddy.
However, when it said these words, Komala, who was originally snoring and sleeping soundly, rolled over like a log, not stopping until it rolled into Passimian's embrace, as if it were accusing it of something.
Magearna also narrated its progress in learning to make desserts to Ange, and also told Ange about its worries.
After Ange finished listening, he fell into deep thought, "Alcremie! I will go find Lila later and help you ask her about it."
The Azoth royalty were most adept at breeding Fairy-type Pokémon, so they should have a way to obtain Alcremie.
"Magea magea~" I knew Ange could accomplish anything!
Hearing Ange's words, Magearna embraced Ange very happily.
Volcanion, who was watching the match nearby, glanced toward Ange's side upon hearing this.
Hmph~ What is the big deal!
Subsequently, it lowered its head to continue watching the match, but its attention could not help but be attracted by the conversation over on Ange's side instead, and in the end, it focused entirely on eavesdropping on Ange and the others' words, not watching a single bit of the match.
Munchlax, Gengar, and Inteleon just stayed quietly beside Ange like this, listening to Ange speak with Diancie and the others, and even if they did nothing, as long as they could stay by their Master's side, they felt very satisfied.
Munchlax and Inteleon lay on Ange's legs, one on the left and one on the right.
Gengar lay behind Ange's back, locking its hands around Ange's neck, resting its chin on top of Ange's head.
Time passed minute by minute, and seeing that the time was no longer early, Munchlax was already drowsy with sleep, so Ange tapped its head lightly and said to everyone:
"Let us go to sleep, if there is anything, we will talk tomorrow."
The Pokémon nodded one after another; Ange had already returned home, so they had plenty of time to speak with Ange.
Seeing the Pokémon rise one after another to return to their rooms, Ange asked Mew:
"Mew, are you returning to your own home, or staying at my home for a night?"
"Mew mew~"
Mew naturally chose to stay at Ange's home without the slightest hesitation, as it had only just arrived, so there was no reason to go back.
"Alright then, tonight you will sleep in my room," Ange said.
"Mew mew~"
Mew flew up and down happily.
Next, Ange looked toward Sneasel again and said, "Sneasel, tonight you will also sleep in my room, and tomorrow I will let Diancie arrange a room for you."
"Snea snea?" I also have my own room?
Sneasel asked in surprise and pleasant surprise.
"Of course!" Ange nodded, "You are already my employee now, and also a member of the Nebel Plateau, so of course you have your own room just like everyone else."
"Snea snea~"
Sneasel nodded upon hearing this, and the smile at the corner of its mouth could not be suppressed no matter what.
At this time, Diancie came to Ange's side holding that egg and said, "Ange, how about delivering this egg to me to take care of?"
Ange nodded, "Of course no problem!"
Therefore, Diancie left holding the Pokémon egg.
Seeing this, Ange said to Mew and Sneasel, "Let us go too!"
"Mew~"
"Snea snea~"
The two Pokémon followed beside Ange excitedly.
After returning to the room, Ange brought the two Pokémon out from the bathroom after a round of washing up.
"Mew~"
Mew excitedly burrowed into Ange's covers, tunneling around inside the blanket, and a rapidly moving small lump instantly appeared within the originally flat blanket.
Ange's bed was truly soft!
"Mew~"
After a bout of playfulness, Mew poked its head out from the blanket, grinning as it smiled at Ange.
Ange gave it a helpless look, subsequently setting up a futon on the floor for Sneasel.
Sneasel was an Ice-type Pokémon, and its entire body was icy cold, so although Ange really wanted to let it sleep on the bed too, his body did not allow it.
If he slept with Sneasel for a night, he would absolutely have to enter a hospital.
Ange took out a relatively large basket, lined a blanket inside, and then said to Sneasel, "Come in and try it out to see if it is comfortable."
"Snea snea~"
Sneasel nodded, lifting its foot to step into the basket, then curled its body to lie inside, its sleeping posture having no difference from an ordinary cat, looking quite well-behaved.
Looking at Sneasel at this time, it was very hard for you to imagine that it was actually a Pokémon notorious for being cunning.
Seeing that Sneasel was satisfied, Ange said, "If you like it, tomorrow when you move into your new room, you can bring them along."
"Snea snea~" Sneasel nodded, using its claws to tug at the blanket to cover itself more tightly.
A blanket could not only retain warmth but could also insulate heat, allowing Sneasel's body to constantly maintain a low-temperature state, which could make it feel more comfortable.
Having arranged Sneasel, Ange climbed onto his own bed, burrowing into the covers.
Just as he lay down, Mew burrowed out from his chest.
"Mew~" Ange!
Mew grinned as it smiled at Ange.
"Alright, sleep," Ange said as he patted Mew's head.
"Mew~" Mew nodded, coming down from Ange's chest, lying down well-behaved next to Ange.
Ange reached out to turn off the light, and the room gradually quieted down, and after a short while, the sounds of rising and falling breathing echoed.
On the other side, when Diancie returned to the room holding the Pokémon egg, the two Spinarak and Mareep had already fallen asleep long ago.
There was a tiny flower basket on the table at Diancie's bedside, and rolls of pure white spider silk were placed inside the flower basket, and the two Spinarak slept inside it while nestling against each other.
Meanwhile, there was a beanbag chair at the foot of the bed, and Mareep slept on the sofa with its body curled up.
Seeing the three Pokémon sleeping sweetly, Diancie intentionally slowed its movements.
After finishing washing up and coming out from the bathroom, Diancie took that Pokémon egg out from the incubator, then brought a circular soft cushion to place on the windowsill, then placed the Pokémon egg onto it carefully, and finally covered it with a small square blanket.
The reason it had to take the Pokémon egg out from the incubator when sleeping was to prevent the Pokémon egg from hatching during the sleeping period.
During the day it did not matter since someone was watching, and any sign of the Pokémon egg hatching could be noticed immediately, but at night it would not work, and in the event that the egg hatched inside the incubator, the Pokémon baby would feel very uncomfortable being trapped inside.
After setting the Pokémon egg in place, Diancie went to bed with satisfaction, then turned off the light, covered itself with the blanket, and closed its eyes.
Not long after, Diancie's slight breathing sounds echoed in the room.
However, what Diancie did not know was that not long after it fell asleep, that egg on the windowsill emitted a faint pink light.
Next, every interval of time, the Pokémon egg would flash once, and by midnight, when the moonlight shone in through the window, the entire egg began to radiate light, and was gradually enveloped completely by the light.
After an unknown amount of time passed, the light vanished, and a pink, tender, small pig-type Pokémon appeared.
This Pokémon's entire body was an elegant pink color, and its eyes were rose-red, large and bright, and there were also three flower-shaped patterns on its body, and its entire body was plump and very cute.
It turned out that what Pawmot picked up was a Munna egg!
After Munna was born, it looked around blankly at the surroundings.
Although it was nighttime at this moment, the bright and clear moonlight spilled into the room, making the room become clearly visible.
Upon seeing Diancie lying on the bed, Munna's eyes lit up.
"Muna~"
It flew to Diancie's side, burrowing into Diancie's covers without the slightest hesitation.
After Munna fell asleep, clusters of pink smoke drifted out from its body unconsciously.
These puffs of smoke expanded slowly within the room, and were gradually absorbed into their bodies by Diancie, Mareep, and Spinarak between breaths.
The sleeping Diancie suddenly discovered that it arrived at an unfamiliar place.
This place was a courtyard with lush green grass, and the courtyard was filled with verdant trees, bright flowers, and heavy clusters of fruits.
Just as it lowered its head, it saw that two Spinarak were added beside it, and it said in surprise:
"How did you two come here too?"
Diancie recognized at a glance that the two Spinarak were its little companions.
"Ito~"
"Ito~"
The two Spinarak were also completely blank-faced; were they not sleeping? How did they arrive here?
Suddenly a flash of inspiration came to Diancie, "Right, we must be dreaming!"
"Ito~"
"Ito~"
The two Spinarak revealed expressions of sudden realization upon hearing this.
"But what kind of place is this?" Diancie revealed doubt, and looked around in all directions.
"Ito~"
"Ito~"
The two Spinarak shook their heads; they were just as blank-faced as Diancie.
"Then let us look around," Diancie said, and after speaking, it walked toward the depths of the courtyard.
"Ito~"
"Ito~"
Seeing this, the two Spinarak hurriedly followed.
Diancie walked while observing the surrounding environment, and gradually it discovered that although this courtyard was very beautiful and also very wide, except for the three of them, it seemed no one else was present, and there was not even a single fly.
After walking for a while, a Spinarak suddenly opened its mouth to shoot a strand of spider silk, catching an Oran Berry on a branch.
Just as it planned to tug the Oran Berry down, Diancie stopped it.
"Although there is no one in the courtyard, this place might have an owner, you know; we cannot just casually pick other people's fruits just because it is in a dream.
Tomorrow when the dream wakes, whatever berry you want to eat, I will go buy it for you."
Hearing Diancie's warning, the Spinarak nodded well-behaved, then retracted the spider silk.
The three Pokémon continued to walk forward, and suddenly a succession of laughter attracted their attention.
"Reep reep~ Reep reep~ Reep reep~"
The three Pokémon hurriedly searched along the sound, and before long a wide grassland appeared before their eyes, and there was a large tree in the center of the grassland, while directly below the large tree, a Mareep was jumping and bouncing happily.
Diancie revealed surprise, "Mareep?"
The Mareep who was playing happily stopped its movements, looking doubtfully toward the direction where the sound came from.
"Reep reep?" Diancie?
"Mareep, are you my Mareep?" Diancie asked.
"Reep reep~ Reep reep~" It is me! It is me!
Mareep ran to Diancie's side with light steps, knocking Diancie down to the ground all at once, and kept licking Diancie with its tongue.
The Mareep here was completely different from the Mareep Diancie and the others usually saw; its character was extremely lively.
This made Diancie very doubtful.
Because it was tickled by Mareep's licking, Diancie pushed it and said, "Alright, Mareep, it is too ticklish."
Only then did Mareep stop.
Diancie sat up and asked, "Mareep, where is this?" Diancie asked the doubt in its heart.
"Reep reep~" My home!
Mareep tilted its head, answering with a face full of innocence.
"Your home?" Diancie was stunned, "Are you not living together with us? Our home is your home!"
But Diancie had never seen this place.
"Reep reep?" Is that so?
Mareep had a face full of ignorance.
"Reep reep~ Reep reep~" I do not know, anyway this is my home!
Diancie still wanted to say something, but saw Mareep suddenly run toward the front, not forgetting to turn its head to call Diancie and the Spinarak.
"Reep reep~ Reep reep~" Diancie, Spinarak, let us play together!
Diancie hurriedly brought the two Spinarak to chase after it upon hearing this.
They saw that as Mareep ran, it suddenly stopped, and subsequently Diancie and the others saw with surprise that a long toy train appeared out of thin air.
At the same time, a uniform hat appeared on Mareep's head, and a black tie appeared on its neck.
Diancie guessed that should be the dress of a train driver.
Mareep jumped to the driver's seat of the train, then turned its head to say to Diancie and the Spinarak:
"Reep reep~ Reep reep~" Guests, please board the train.
Diancie looked at the toy train before it and suddenly understood; this place was Mareep's dream world, and as long as it was something Mareep wanted, it would automatically appear here.
Diancie brought the two Spinarak to sit into the carriage of the toy train.
This toy train was open-topped, having a very large difference from a true train, and a single carriage could sit at most four people.
However, the two Spinarak's body sizes were originally small, not even filling up a single seat, so even if the carriage was not too wide, it was not crowded for them to sit together with Diancie.
After Diancie and the others sat properly, Mareep honked the horn, and then called out loudly:
"Reep reep~ Reep reep~" The train is departing!
Its words fell, and the toy train began to move slowly.
Originally Diancie thought the train would travel along the grassland, after all, this kind of toy train did not need tracks either.
However, the truth was, the train opened toward the sky.
A track composed of pure white clouds appeared out of thin air, extending all the way from the ground toward the sky.
Under Mareep's control, the toy train blew its whistle all the way along the cloud track toward the sky.
Diancie and the Spinarak were all dumbfounded.
The speed of the toy train was very fast, and the howling wild wind brought along the way almost blew Diancie and the two Spinarak away.
"Reep reep~ Reep reep~"
Mareep shouted excitedly.
Feeling the howling wild wind by its ears, Diancie had to hug the two Spinarak tightly, then grasp the railing in front firmly.
Mareep, turned out you in the dream are so wild? Diancie could not help but think.
Riding the train and traveling in the air for a while, Diancie and the two Spinarak gradually adapted to the speed of the train.
Although this place was a dream, Diancie felt it was incomparably real, and even the feeling of the wind brushing past its cheeks could be perceived clearly by Diancie.
After playing for an unknown amount of time, Mareep drove the toy train to land slowly.
At the instant Diancie and the two Spinarak got off the train, the train vanished, and the cloud track vanished too.
"Was it fun?" Mareep asked Diancie excitedly.
Diancie nodded, "Fun."
It was indeed quite fun; soaring in the air while riding a train was truly a special experience.
It was also very thrilling!
"Reep reep~ Reep reep~" Mareep instantly jumped and bounced around Diancie happily upon hearing this.
Next, it ran toward a direction again, and hailed Diancie to keep up.
Under Mareep's lead, Diancie and the others came to another piece of grassland with doubtful moods.
There was a giant boulder in the center of this piece of grassland, and the surface of the giant boulder had many, many pitted small holes and a large amount of fine, dense cracks.
Just when Diancie was wondering what Mareep came here to do, it suddenly saw golden electrical currents flash on Mareep's body.
"Reep reep~"
Mareep let out a loud cry, and subsequently a pillar of thunder was controlled by it to strike onto the giant boulder, and instantly the holes on the giant boulder became one more.
