During this festival, Victor also let the forest Pokémon come out and participate.
The people of Sandgem Town and Twinleaf Town had become accustomed to these Pokémon running out of the Breeding House, especially the people of Twinleaf Town.
They got along particularly well with the forest Pokémon. The forest Pokémon weren't afraid either; when they saw something they wanted to eat, they would take out things found in the forest to barter.
Those owners happily accepted them.
Someone in the crowd saw the fully armed Shana and couldn't help but shout.
"So many snacks!"
Hearing his voice, Shana turned to look at him. Just as he was about to apologize, Shana let go of Gengar's hand, ran over, took out a snack Victor didn't recognize from her pocket, and shared it with him and his friend.
Finally, Shana waved goodbye to them and continued walking forward.
Shana held Gengar's hand, followed by Mime Jr., Vulpix, and Marill.
They were also fully armed.
towards Shana and these Pokémon.
These stall owners had only one word.
Spoil!
Spoil desperately!
Leading to Shana's snacks being replaced batch after batch.
Victor held Lilligant's small hand, with Gothita and the others beside him, wandering around everywhere.
They were very interested in some toys and games, and Victor played with them one by one.
As for Machamp, her mouth never stopped.
Every time she arrived at a food stall, she ran over to ask Victor for money.
Finally, Victor couldn't take it anymore and gave her a large sum of money directly, telling her to buy food herself.
Machamp took the money and left satisfied.
After wandering for a long time, Victor returned to the Breeding House and drilled into the kitchen.
He prepared dinner; he also wanted to try having a picnic under the cherry trees.
Although it was right at his doorstep, sitting under the cherry trees with a group of cute Pokémon, eating and admiring the blossoms, sounded wonderful just thinking about it.
After meticulously preparing a lot of delicious food, Victor packed it up, found a tree not far from the Breeding House, and had Gengar spread the blanket.
Next to them sat a young couple.
Looking at the Pachirisu beside the girl in the couple, he felt it looked familiar.
Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed it, then buried his face directly into its belly.
Took a deep breath.
Familiar feeling. It's you, Pachirisu!
Pachirisu: "?!"
Why is it you again?!
Mommy, it's this pervert again!!!
Pachirisu broke free from Victor's palm and hurriedly hid behind the couple.
The couple looked at him with smiles.
Victor blushed and greeted them.
Afterward, Victor took out the prepared food and arranged it.
Shana looked at the food in front of her, and her mouth suddenly pursed.
If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten so many snacks this afternoon. I'm so full now.
Then she saw Gengar still gorging himself, and felt even sadder.
We clearly ate so many snacks together, why can you still eat so much?!
At this moment, a cherry blossom fell on Shana's face. She picked it up, looked up, and found it was Vespiquen.
Shana smiled happily, then took Chingling and climbed up the tree nimbly to sit with Staraptor.
Victor picked up a piece of meat, just wanting to ask if Shana wanted to eat, but couldn't find her.
Feeling someone above his head, Victor looked up.
He saw Shana sitting next to Staraptor, her two feet swinging back and forth.
"?!"
How did you get up there?!
Victor stood up anxiously.
He hurriedly told Shana to come down.
Shana climbed down reluctantly. Victor's heart was in his throat during the whole process.
Watching Shana come down from the tree nimbly while wearing a dress.
Victor even suspected if he had raised her crooked—
Has she already started developing in this style—
Shana jumped off the tree, patted her butt, and sat down next to Victor.
Feeling tired, she lay straight on Victor's lap.
"Hehe."
Shana looked at Vespiquen and Staraptor on the tree and grinned.
Shana lay on Victor's lap, humming a song softly.
It was a song she heard from Victor.
"The sun shines in the sky, the flowers smile at me. Staravia says, morning, morning, morning, why are you carrying a small schoolbag—carrying a dynamite pack, I'm going to blow up the school—"
Hearing the song from Shana's mouth, Victor's face turned dark.
Great, it really is my fault. I raised Shana crooked.
Under the interaction with Lilligant and the others, Victor finished the food. By this time, the sky had begun to darken.
The moon began to usurp the throne and drove the sun down the mountain.
Boom!
A sound came unexpectedly from the sky.
Victor looked up and saw incredibly brilliant fireworks exploding in the air.
The Breeding House Fireworks Display officially begins!
Victor watched the fireworks exploding overhead. People had already gathered in the open space, admiring the increasing and more beautiful fireworks.
Victor lay down directly on the blanket. His position was perfect for viewing the fireworks.
Shana also lay down.
And Gengar and the others surrounded Victor.
Victor took out his phone and took a video of the fireworks blooming.
He sent it to Cynthia.
The phone vibrated; Cynthia sent a message.
"When the time comes, I'll take you to Jubilife City to see even more beautiful fireworks."
"It's a promise."
"It's a promise!"
Putting away the phone, Victor quietly admired the fireworks blooming overhead.
Lying beside the people and Pokémon he cherished, with cherry blossoms drifting down from the tree from time to time, watching the fireworks overhead.
This life was really, too comfortable.
"Shana."
Victor suddenly spoke.
"What is it, Uncle?"
Shana's childish voice sounded.
"Do you like this kind of life now?"
"Mm-hmm, Shana likes life with Uncle, and Gengar and the others very much. Happy every day."
"Is that so? Then you must grow up happily in the future too."
"Mm-hmm, Uncle too."
Victor smiled.

Victor watched the lines of text floating past his eyes.
His heart blossomed with joy.
This wave of rewards was very rich.
This was truly "rich rewards".
The festival lasted until late at night. People and Pokémon held hands, surrounding a bonfire burning with strange flames.
They danced a dance of harmonious coexistence between humans and Pokémon.
Until the very end, the festival concluded.
