After leaving the hospital, a long luxury limousine pulled up by the roadside.
Lillie waved goodbye to everyone before getting into the car and leaving.
Lana also had to head home to help with work. After saying her farewells, she quickly disappeared into the evening streets.
"Let's go, Lin Feng... Big Brother..."
"Please don't."
Lin Feng rubbed his forehead awkwardly.
"Just call me by my name."
"Then I'll keep calling you Mr. Lin Feng."
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Mallow couldn't help but laugh.
"Come on, Mr. Lin Feng."
"Dragonite has been flying for so long. He probably hasn't eaten yet."
"Let's head back first."
Lin Feng fell silent for a moment.
"...Actually, he already ate."
"That's alright."
"He has a huge appetite. Eating a little more won't hurt."
As she looked toward the distant sunset, Mallow suddenly found herself feeling much lighter.
Things had turned out far better than she had ever dared hope.
"Alright."
Lin Feng nodded with a smile.
...
Meanwhile, back at the Breeding House...
Not long after Lin Feng had departed on Dragonite, two tiny figures floated down into the Berry Fields.
They were the long-absent Mew and Victini.
After failing countless times to prank Lin Feng, Mew had finally given up disguising itself as other Pokémon for another game of hide-and-seek.
But after searching around for a while...
It realized Lin Feng wasn't home.
After asking Gardevoir, it finally learned that Lin Feng had traveled to the Alola region to visit a friend.
"Gardevoir..."
"(Before he left, he asked me to tell you something.)"
"Mew?"
"(What is it?)"
Hovering in midair, Mew tilted its head curiously.
"Gardevoir..."
"(He said he'd like to bring Serperior and Meowscarada to visit the World Tree.)"
╰(°▽°)╯
"Mew!"
Mew's eyes sparkled instantly.
Visit my home?
That sounds wonderful!
Truthfully...
Mew had always wanted to invite Lin Feng to see the treasures it had collected over the years.
But Lin Feng was always busy taking care of such a large Breeding House.
He never seemed to have any free time.
So Mew had never brought it up.
Now that Lin Feng had actually suggested it himself...
That couldn't have made Mew happier.
It almost couldn't wait.
"Mew!"
"(Got it!)"
Bringing Victini along, Mew asked Gardevoir for directions to Alola before immediately flying off.
(●'◡'●)
"Mew~"
Since it hadn't managed to scare Lin Feng this time...
Then once it reached Alola...
Lin Feng definitely wouldn't expect it.
This time...
It was absolutely going to surprise him!
...
Alola Region.
By the time Lin Feng returned to Mallow's family restaurant, it was the busiest hour of the evening.
Customers filled every table.
Before Mallow had returned, only her father had been working in the kitchen.
Apparently, they had hired a temporary worker to serve dishes outside.
Even so...
The restaurant was still extremely busy.
Running a restaurant with fewer than two people was nearly impossible.
After returning home, Mallow simply greeted Lin Feng before immediately throwing herself back into work.
Lin Feng wasn't surprised.
He told her he was going out for a walk to pick up his Pokémon and promised he'd return later before leaving the restaurant.
His first stop was the beach.
Milotic was still somewhat insecure, so he wanted to retrieve both her and Primarina first.
Sure enough...
When he arrived, Milotic and Primarina were already waiting quietly near the shore.
Their graceful figures
