"Good morning, Little Tomoyo."
Shauna crawled out of her sleeping bag, looked at Tomoyo, who was already up, and yawned in greeting.
Then she took out her clothes and skillfully started changing.
The sound of a loudspeaker began to ring out outside the tent.
"Everyone, it's time to get up, wash up, and eat."
Tomoyo sat in the tent, holding the pokémon egg, her head bobbing as she dozed off.
She wasn't quite used to sleeping in a sleeping bag, so she had a hard time sleeping last night.
When she opened her eyes, she found Shauna sitting opposite her, legs crossed, resting her little face in one hand as she watched her.
"What's wrong?"
"Little Tomoyo, you little sleepyhead."
Tomoyo's face turned red, and just as she was about to explain, the teacher's voice rang out from outside the tent.
"Student Shauna, Student Tomoyo, are you awake? Come out for breakfast."
"Coming!"
Shauna called out loudly, then stood up and reached out her little hand. Once Tomoyo took it, Shauna pulled her and ran out.
After breakfast, the teacher began to announce the day's itinerary.
"Today, with the help of Jenny, we will head a bit deeper into the forest. There are many gentle-natured Pokémon there, and we can try to eat together with some of them."
"Yay!" "Awesome!" "I love Pokémon!"
Cheers rang out endlessly.
A teacher made a phone call, and not long after, a Jenny walked in with an Arcanine.
Shauna looked at this Jenny but didn't feel a familiar aura from her.
"Isn't it Sister Reese?"
Shauna pouted and whispered.
"Sister Reese is in Twinleaf Town, which is very far from here, and this isn't her jurisdiction."
Tomoyo whispered to explain in Shauna's ear.
Shauna nodded.
"I see."
After communicating with the two teachers, Jenny picked up a small yellow flag and walked to the front of the group, with the Arcanine at the back.
She was stunned when she saw a Rapidash following Shauna, wondering who this little girl was and why she had a Rapidash following her.
However, seeing that the two teachers were unfazed, she didn't pay it any more mind.
The other children were carrying their little backpacks, but in the group, only Shauna and Tomoyo were empty-handed, with nothing on their backs either.
All the backpacks had been given to the Rapidash to carry.
Along the way, most of the wild Pokémon were Bidoof, Kricketot, and Pachirisu—Pokémon with relatively gentle natures. Perhaps because many people traveled this road every day, these wild Pokémon didn't act scared at all; instead, they took the initiative to greet the children and play with them.
The whole class of children sat by a small lake, with one or two Pokémon around each of them, but there was one spot that was completely surrounded by these wild Pokémon.
Shauna and Tomoyo sat on the ground, surrounded by wild Pokémon. A Chimecho was perched on top of Shauna's head. Shauna rested her face in her hands and sighed, "Sigh, why is little Shauna so charming?"
"Because little Shauna is naturally very charming."
Tomoyo said, gently stroking the Dratini egg in her arms.
Just as Shauna, Tomoyo, and the wild Pokémon around them were having fun, the voices of classmates nearby caught their attention.
"There's a huge Seviper over there."
"Really?"
"Yeah, it's huge, so cool."
"Should we go take a peek?"
"Okay."
Those few children stood up to leave, but Shauna spoke up to stop them.
"No, Seviper are very dangerous."
Shauna said, "Uncle told me that Seviper are very dangerous Pokémon in the wild, and we shouldn't go near them."
She remembered Lucas telling them about the danger levels of wild Pokémon, and that Poison-type Pokémon were the most dangerous.
Besides, wild Seviper aren't like the Seviper at the Breeding House; they aren't that obedient.
Shauna's voice caught Jenny's attention, and she walked over. "Seviper? Where?"
The little fat kid pointed to a bush in the distance. Jenny walked over with her Arcanine, and her scalp tingled when she saw the three Seviper in the bushes.
Seeing that they had been discovered, the Seviper in the bushes no longer hid. They twisted their bodies out of the bushes and surrounded Jenny and her Arcanine.
The teachers hurriedly gathered the children together, and the battle between Jenny and the Seviper began.
Shauna patted the Rapidash's rear. The Rapidash was enveloped in gray-white flames and charged straight in, knocking one Seviper flying and breaking a tree as thick as a bucket.
Jenny was somewhat surprised to see the Rapidash prancing beside her.
Is this Rapidash this strong?
She looked back and saw Shauna and Tomoyo hiding in the crowd. When they saw her look, they flashed a smile, revealing a missing tooth.
Uncle said that if you encounter dangerous Pokémon in the wild, you must turn around and run.
So when Shauna sent the Rapidash to help, she pulled Tomoyo back into the crowd.
The remaining two Seviper looked at the Arcanine and Rapidash in front of them, and one of them turned its scarlet snake eyes toward Shauna, filled with hatred.
The next second.
All the scales on its body stood on end.
"Hiss—"
It looked up. A Staraptor, much larger and more imposing than other Staraptor, was standing on a tree behind the crowd, staring at them with extremely cold, sharp eyes.
While the other children were still afraid, Shauna had already taken a sausage out of her bag and started munching on it.
A small snack.
She shared half with Tomoyo.
Chimecho, perched on Shauna's head, emitted waves that soothed people's hearts, and the crowd slowly returned to a normal state.
The two Seviper didn't look back and quickly slithered away.
At the same time, they didn't forget to take their charred companion with them.
Due to the Seviper incident, today's field trip was forced to end early.
Shauna clenched her fists. "Darn Seviper! They ruined our playtime!"
Seeing that Shauna was a bit angry, the Staraptor was still hesitating whether to go and vent her anger for her when movement came from the forest in the distance.
The Staraptor stared ahead, then relaxed.
Alright, it's not their business anymore; the Seviper's strictest parents are here.
Jenny's heart tightened.
Seviper reinforcements are here?
"Let's go quickly—"
Before she could finish speaking, she heard Shauna say something.
"Huh? Why are they here?"
After saying that, she squeezed out of the crowd, went to the Rapidash, and stood with her hands on her hips.
Hurry, hurry, hurry, I saw them right here.
A Zangoose said as it hurried along.
The Zangoose leader followed behind with its pack, trailing after this Zangoose it had just met not long ago, hurrying along constantly.
I can't beat those guys at the Breeding House, but I can't beat you guys?
The Zangoose leader kept hurrying along, thinking to itself that once it found these Seviper, it would definitely beat them up to vent its anger.
Huh? There are humans ahead.
A Zangoose with sharp eyes saw the humans standing in front.
Hearing its subordinate's words, the Zangoose leader remembered its agreement with Lucas and that it had signed a contract with humans, so it wouldn't harm humans unless necessary. Therefore, it prepared to lead its pack through the humans.
It looked up and saw an extremely familiar figure.
Small in stature, chubby cheeks, hands on hips, with an extremely handsome Rapidash by its side.
As long as they had a decent relationship with humans around Twinleaf Town, there wasn't a single Pokémon that didn't know who this was.
Why is this little ancestor here?!
The Zangoose leader braked in a hurry. Because it was moving too fast, it skidded like a cat, using its face to brake and leaving a deep mark on the ground.
It rolled a few times, then stood up and blocked the Zangoose behind it with its hand.
Stop! Stop! Stop!!!
After plowing two more deep marks with its feet, the Zangoose kept pushing the Zangoose behind it backward with its hands.
Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!!!
Once the Zangoose kept a distance from the crowd, the Zangoose leader ran forward.
Why are you here?
Shauna looked at the Zangoose leader in front of her. Remembering that her field trip had been ruined, her eyes rolled.
"Zangoose—"
Her voice was incomparably aggrieved.
The Staraptor on the tree instantly widened its eyes.
What does this little ancestor want to do again?!
Zangoose: Panic.jpg
"Are you looking for Seviper?"
The Zangoose leader nodded frantically.
Shauna sniffled and pointed in a direction. "They ran that way. They ruined our field trip."
Shauna's eyes turned red. "Can you help me teach them a lesson? They tried to hit me just now."
The Zangoose leader looked up at the Staraptor, Gliscor, and Honchkrow above.
Are you sure you didn't hit them?
Seeing that Shauna's tears were about to fall, the Zangoose leader felt like the sky was collapsing.
If that man found out about this, wouldn't it be all over?!
"Will you help me vent my anger?"
The Zangoose leader kept beating its own chest.
Shauna grinned. "Then I'll leave it to you. Seviper are all big bad guys, unlike Zangoose, which are all good Pokémon."
The Zangoose leader narrowed its eyes comfortably.
If you said I was a good Pokémon, I might not be that happy, but if you say Seviper are big bad guys, then I'm very happy.
"Over there, Zangoose, go!"
Shauna pointed at the direction the Seviper had left and gave the order.
At the Zangoose leader's command, all the Zangoose poured out.
Shauna watched the Zangoose leave and clapped her little hands.
What Gengar taught me really works!
Shauna returned to the crowd, satisfied.
Jenny, who witnessed all this: ————
She knew that this group of Zangoose had been borrowed from Twinleaf Town to help carry out tasks, but she didn't expect them to listen to this little girl so well.
It seems I have to ask my cousin in Twinleaf Town who this little girl is.
Meanwhile, Tomoyo looked at the pokémon egg in her arms and kept stroking it.
Hatch quickly.
Ring ring~
If Uncle Lucas sees you, you'll be in trouble.
Chimecho gently shook its body, expressing its thoughts to Shauna.
"Hmph! Who told them to ruin my field trip? This was my first time coming out to play by myself! It's already nice of me not to beat them up!"
Shauna said, puffing out her cheeks.
She hadn't been in school for long, and it was finally a rare opportunity to go out with her classmates. She didn't expect it to be ruined by the Seviper, forcing it to end early. She had just wanted to go over and give those Seviper a few punches.
"Little Bell, you won't tell Uncle, right?"
About her learning bad habits from Gengar.
Gengar loves to act pitiful in front of Lucas.
Chimecho shook its body.
I'm fine, but what about them?
Shauna looked up at the Gliscor and the others behind her.
Gliscor and Honchkrow shook their heads.
The Staraptor was nowhere to be seen.
The Staraptor, flying high in the sky, headed toward the Zangoose to show them the way.
Good thing I was farsighted and left early.
Shauna looked around but didn't see the Staraptor.
Darn Staraptor, it ran off again!
On the way back, Shauna and Tomoyo still rode the Rapidash.
Thanks to Chimecho's soothing, the children on the bus completely relaxed after getting on and then all fell fast asleep.
"Rapidash, do you know the way?"
Shauna, sitting on the horse's back, asked the Rapidash, and the Rapidash nodded.
Tomoyo looked back at Shauna, seemingly guessing what Shauna wanted to do.
Shauna grinned and shouted loudly, "Rapidash, let's go!"
The Rapidash's mouth curled up slightly, and then it began to accelerate. It quickly caught up with the baby bus, then overtook it, shooting forward like an arrow from a bowstring.
"Wow, oh oh oh!"
Shauna sat on the horse's back and shouted happily.
Every time she got out of school, she liked to let the Rapidash run at a very fast speed on the road to the Breeding House because she liked this feeling—the feeling of the whole world being filled, the feeling of the wind competing with her.
Influenced by Shauna, Tomoyo also began to grin. The pokémon egg she was holding tightly in her arms cracked open a thin slit amidst her and Shauna's laughter, the blowing of the strong wind, and the shining of the warm sun.
Shauna put her thumb and index finger into her mouth and blew hard.
Pfft~
Shauna's face turned red instantly.
Tomoyo looked back at her and didn't speak for a long time.
"Oops, mistake, a mistake."
Shauna wore a big smile on her face and argued.
Tomoyo rolled her eyes.
The sound of flapping wings rang out behind them.
The two turned around together and found the Staraptor flying beside them, with Honchkrow and Gliscor standing and lying on top of the baby bus.
Jenny, who was escorting the baby bus, saw Shauna and Tomoyo riding the Rapidash past her. She wanted to stop them, but thinking of what she had just seen, she thought about it and dismissed the idea.
On the other side, at the Breeding House.
Lucas fell onto the carpet in the lounge area.
Gengar glanced at him out of the corner of its eye, then turned its head to continue watching the cartoon.
Ninetales, who was sleeping nearby, didn't even open its eyes.
Luxray silently left the lounge area.
Female, sitting at the counter, covered her mouth and snickered.
Lucas stood up and patted his butt.
"What right do you have to kick me out?"
Lucas pointed at the air, constantly accusing Giratina of its actions.
Giratina, in the Distortion World, looked at Lucas, who was constantly gesturing at the air on the mirror, and sighed with exhaustion.
It originally thought he had some business coming into the Distortion World, but it turned out he came in to use the Distortion World to get to Shauna's side.
It kicked Lucas out directly.
What do you think the Distortion World is? Doraemon's Anywhere Door?
Seriously.
Giratina twisted its massive body and left the area of the Breeding House. In its place was a road, with a Rapidash running wantonly on it.
Giratina followed behind.
Forget it, I'll help him keep an eye on them.
Giratina said to itself.
