"Hehe!" Lono giggled, "Speaking of which, why did you all suddenly come to Levincia City today?"
"Surprised or not?" Naoki replied with a question instead of an answer.
"Hehe!" Lono grinned, eyes gleaming with surprise, "Oh right, the last time you came to Levincia City, you left after just one meal. This time, let me take you and Koraidon around the city properly!"
"Sure!" Naoki readily agreed.
Under Lono's guidance, he visited the Million Volt Skyline, climbed Levincia City's lighthouse, and from the top, gazed out at the blue sea.
Nearing noon, Naoki initially planned to find a restaurant for lunch, but unexpectedly, Lono extended an invitation.
"Come to my place! I've been learning to cook lately. Let me show you my culinary skills today!" Lono's eyes were filled with enthusiasm.
Hearing this, Naoki was quite surprised, "I remember the first time we met, you couldn't cook, right?"
Lono chuckled, "People do grow, you know!"
"Alright, let's go then!"
Lono's home was on the twelfth floor of a high-rise in the city center. When they were about to go upstairs, Naoki suddenly noticed a flower shop not far away.
He asked Lono to wait for a moment, while he quickly went to the shop and bought a bouquet of flowers.
Naoki hid the flowers behind his back, and when they were in the elevator, he took them out.
Seeing the bouquet, Lono's eyes lit up.
Naoki smiled and said, "We came in a hurry, didn't bring a gift, but I saw the flowers at the store looked pretty, so I bought you a bouquet."
"Hehe, you're quite the romantic, aren't you?" Lono happily took the flowers.
Naoki: "..."
"Ding!"
The elevator reached the twelfth floor. Lono went to unlock the door, and as Naoki walked in, he heard a thunderclap from outside the window.
The summer thunderstorm came quickly; in the blink of an eye, the sky darkened, and a heavy rain accompanied by thunder poured over the city.
"It's raining?" Lono put the flowers in a vase, relieved, "Good thing we didn't stay outside longer. You and Koraidon sit for a while, I'll prepare lunch!"
"Are you sure you don't need help?" Naoki glanced back.
"You two just wait over there!" Lono peeked out from the kitchen, "Koraidon, there are Pokemon snacks in the fridge, make yourself at home!"
"Aghassar!" Koraidon didn't hesitate, running to the fridge to get the snacks.
Meanwhile, Naoki saw the two Magnemite hairpins Lono used to wear next to the TV.
They were floating by the TV, sound asleep to the sound of the rainstorm outside.
Thinking of how Lono used to look with the Magnemite hairpins, Naoki smiled slightly.
However, more important matters were at hand.
Naoki took out his Rotom Phone, opened Pichu Tv, clicked into his follow list, then entered Lono's personal page.
As expected, Lono was losing followers.
This wasn't good, as being a content creator spreading dreams was Lono's dream all along; he had to think of a way.
But what could he do to help Lono in this situation?
However, suddenly Naoki noticed Lono's follower count had increased by a few hundred.
Naoki: "?"
Hmm? What's going on?
He was puzzled for a moment, then clicked into Lono's latest video and found the reason in the comments section quickly.
[Mamako: Wow, the streamer has a boyfriend, so sad!]
[Clefairy: For those who don't know, that man—also Lono's boyfriend—is called Naoki. Yes, the very same Naoki who runs Naoki Ranch online and delivers with Dragonite!
Besides, he is widely known as the "Hidden Boss" of the Paldea Region.
I'm sure students of Paldea Academy aren't strangers to him; Naoki is extremely strong and is said to surpass our top Champion.]
This comment was liked by many netizens and reached the second most popular comment position.
In the first position was an odd comment.
Naoki looked closely and saw this comment went like this.
[Eeveeboo: Streamer, look at your husband.]
