Chapter 43 Dream Ball Litten, getto daze
Upon hearing this, Link subconsciously looked at Incineroar. What kind of life did this Litten usually lead?
"Ahem, Alola is a small place. Although it's rich in resources, the competition is fierce. In recent years, the rapidly developing human race has squeezed out the living space of Pokémon, so there are often various kinds of clashes..."
Link scratched his head. No wonder Professor Kukui wanted to introduce the League to Alola and let it go global; there was such a hidden reason.
"It's clearly because you've had too many."
"This is the most basic need for survival. How can we compete with other Pokémon for survival resources if we don't grow a large population?"
"..."
Link hesitated.
Having too many to raise means you have to give them away everywhere. Are you just handing out egg scraps here?
Regardless, he solemnly looked at Litten, staring directly into its eyes: "Fu-zai, I promise you, from now on, as long as I have food, you'll never go hungry."
"Alright, I acknowledge you as my trainer! Those who break their promises will be condemned to drown in the sea!"
Unexpectedly, Litten, whom he was supposed to gather later in Alola, had formed a wondrous bond in the Pokémon Dream World…
In this spiritual world constructed by the Unova Dream, many unique features exist.
One of them is the ability for Pokémon to transcend physical space and travel to the location of their human friends.
After another night of total defeat, Link bid farewell to the raiding party, returned to the café to rest, leaving Fennekin and Dolphin behind, and proceeded along the Rainbow Bridge with only Litten.
A few minutes later, a solid sky island appeared again ahead, and a hollow, towering tree came into view.
This was the Dream Tree, standing at the edge of the Pokémon Dream World, the place that broke down the barrier between dreams and reality.
"Are you ready, Fuzai? It's not too late to turn back now."
Link confirmed Litten's opinion one last time. Once they entered the hollow tree hollow, it would be too late to back out.
It was indeed possible... but traveling back and forth to the Alola region was a real hassle.
"I've already made up my mind," Litten said dismissively. "A man never regrets his choices."
Hearing this, Link took out the Star Peach he had prepared and led Litten into the Dream Tree's hollow.
The two buried the fruit in the soil.
The Star Peach sprouted and blossomed at a visible speed, blossoming into a tree of light.
The tree continued to grow, producing only one perfectly round fruit radiating colorful light.
Seeing the fruit ripen, Link plucked it from the branch.
The next instant, a dazzling light erupted!
The blinding light made him close his eyes.
When he opened them again, he found himself awake.
This time, what he held in his hand was no longer a berry, but a Poké Ball that was entirely green with pentagram patterns in deep red, sky blue, pink, light green, and bright yellow on the front.
"This is different from the Dream Balls I remember. Could it be that different berries turn into different types of Poké Balls?"
Link muttered, suspecting that this was another example of Game Freak's lack of technical skill.
In this way, he wouldn't need to change Fuzai's Poké Ball anymore, otherwise it would be a bit strange for an Incineroar to use a pink Dream Ball...
Shaking his head to stop thinking about these things, he released Fuzai directly from the Poké Ball.
A cat-like Pokémon with black stripes, red whiskers, and a similar size to Fennekin but looking much lighter appeared from it.
Note: Fennekin weighs 9.4kg, while Litten weighs 4.3kg. After they evolve into their final forms, the weights are reversed: Fennekin weighs 39kg, and Incineroar weighs 83kg.
This was Fuzai, who should have been in the Alola region but had been drawn to this Poké Ball by the Dream Tree.
Fuzai, who had also just woken up, opened its eyes wide and curiously looked around, seemingly amazed by its ability to teleport.
It then circled the room, sniffing and looking around, before finally giving its trainer a somewhat disdainful look.
Its eyes seemed to say—this place is too small, and why can we feel the turbulence? Are the accommodations outside really this bad?
"We're on a ship heading to the Sinnoh region, so we'll have to make do for the next two days."
After a pause, Link added, "There's a buffet on board; Pokémon under 10kg can eat as much as they want for free."
Upon hearing this, Litten seemed to get excited, as if its body temperature was rising!
Having already experienced a fire once, Link immediately reacted: "Calm down. If we burn something, not only will we not get the buffet, but we'll also have to work to pay for the damages."

Similar to Fennekin, Litten is also a relatively intelligent Pokémon, knowing the difference between one full meal and a full meal every time.
[Litten, the Firecat Pokémon. Always appears very calm, lives alone, and doesn't wear its emotions on its sleeve. Gaining its trust takes a lot of time.]
In stark contrast to Fennekin, a "dog-type"
Pokémon, Litten is like a cat on Earth—an independent, territorial Pokémon that requires its trainer to maintain a certain level of boundaries.
In reality, cats exhibit such characteristics because they have low intelligence, but this world's Litten cat prefers this free and unrestrained lifestyle.
In short—it won't give up trying to poop on its trainer's head.
"Alright, before we go to the restaurant for a big meal, let's register and get monitored at the ship's Pokémon Center. It'd be troublesome if we were mistaken for stowaways."
With that, Link tiptoed to get dressed and took Fu-mzai to the ship's Pokémon Center for a simple checkup.

This cat is indeed quite capable...
It's rare to have a physical exam, and later when Fennekin and Dolphin woke up, Link also took them for a test.
Fennekin's level had increased to 5, while Dolphin's level had dropped to 24.
Not only that, but what's even more puzzling is that Dolphin's IVs had also decreased.
Attack and Special Attack were still considered unsuitable, and the remaining four mediocre stats were all downgraded to unsuitable as well.
Even the staff at the Pokémon Center on the ship were curious. After repeated testing confirmed everything was correct, they concluded that the test results from the Pokémon Center in Moorish Town must have been inaccurate…
