Mount Tensei, the highest peak of the Raizen Mountains.
This is the legendary abode of the Pokémon Ho-Oh, and also the territory of Ho-Oh's guards.
However, most of the time, they are traveling, only gathering at Mount Tensei when encountering special circumstances.
Of course, one particular Pokémon is an exception.
Entei, carrying Fuyuki on its back, slowly climbed upwards along the rugged mountain path.
It looked up, but didn't sense Ho-Oh's presence nearby.
This meant that Ho-Oh was not currently at Mount Tensei, probably out traveling again.
Entei withdrew its gaze, then looked back, finding the little one already asleep on its back.
This was probably the nature of human infants; they needed sufficient sleep to grow in their early years, Entei thought.
It walked slowly and steadily, and soon climbed to the mountainside of Mount Tensei. There, it found a spacious, uninhabited cave, which could provide shelter for the little one.
The cave wasn't large, nor small; it was dry, warm, and very comfortable.
Entei found a suitable spot, then bent down slightly, intending to let the little one slide off its back.
It moved very gently, seemingly not wanting to wake Fuyuki, but with Entei's movements, Fuyuki still woke up.
Home?
He rubbed his sleepy eyes, turned his head and looked around, and immediately realized that Entei had brought him to a cave.
The cave was very empty, almost devoid of anything except for a few pebbles.
Was this Entei's home?
Fuyuki looked around, a sense of curiosity in his heart.
"Little one, this is where we'll be living from now on."
As if sensing his emotions, the voice of Entei resounded in Fuyuki's mind the next second.
Fuyuki immediately turned to look at it.
Entei continued telepathically, "This is Mount Tensei, our base, the one for me and Ho-Oh. From now on, this is your home too."
Although Little One couldn't speak yet, Entei could sense that its Little One understood the meaning of its words.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, a look of shock appeared on Little One's face.
Mount Tensei! This is Mount Tensei!
The main stage of the movie "I Choose You!", where Ash and Pikachu will undergo their trials to become the Rainbow Heroes!
At that moment, Fuyuki suddenly understood.
No wonder he encountered Raikou before; this is the territory of the Three Legendary Beasts and Ho-Oh! Doesn't that mean he'll have a chance to encounter Suicune, Marshadow, and even Ho-Oh in the future?
Seeing that Fuyuki had woken up, Entei, based on their interactions over the past few days, guessed that the little guy was probably hungry.
So it abruptly stood up and said to Fuyuki,
"I'll go find you some food. You stay here and don't move."
Mount Tensei was their territory; it was safe and secure.
With that, Entei turned and quickly left the cave.
Fuyuki's heart was filled with complex emotions.
A Pokémon dreaming of being his father... that sounded so strange... even though Entei had been quite good to him.
But judging from the current situation, it seemed that he could only rely on Entei.
No, not just Entei.
With a slight thought, a panel slowly opened before Fuyuki.
On the panel were a dazzling array of items that could be exchanged using Shock Points.
From basic food and water to clothing and bedding, to training supplies like Poké Balls and healing items, and even Rare Candies to boost Pokémon's stats, these are just the basics.
What attracts Fuyuki most is the Dream Home Remodeling feature.
If his Shock Value is high enough, he can transform this cave into a habitable "home" in an instant.
For example, he could first exchange for [Secret Power] to excavate the mountain and transform the cave into a secret base.
Then, he could use [Spatial Technology] to compress space and expand the interior of the secret base.
Finally, he could exchange for wallpaper and furniture to decorate according to his preferences.
Even the shop offers the [Large Spatial Ecological Park], a high-tech feature.
[Large Spatial Ecological Park: Developed using Palkia's spatial power, it is an independent space equipped with artificial sun, climate simulation, terrain adjustment, and seasonal changes, sufficient to meet all Pokémon's daily needs.] Fuyuki is incredibly excited.
If he had this, wouldn't he be able to bring all his favorite Pokémon home to raise? Unfortunately, exchanging for these features requires a huge amount of Shock Points.
He currently only has 10 Shock Points at most, enough to exchange for just two bottles of MooMoo Milk.
Sigh… until he grows up, he still has to rely on Entei!
However, as an infant with the soul of an adult, Fuyuki simply cannot regard Entei as his father.
"…"
Well, he'll just have to wait and see!
At this moment, Entei walked in from outside, carrying several round berries.
It walked to Fuyuki's side, placed the berries in front of him, then went around behind him, acting as a cushion for Fuyuki, and using its body heat to warm him.
Fuyuki had been eating berries for almost a week, and his whole body was a little numb.
Thankfully, the human body in the Pokémon world is special, and the berries contain nutrients that meet the daily needs of the human body; otherwise, he would have been fed to death by Entei by now.
Looking at the dazzling array of delicacies in the system shop, Fuyuki, who had been eating tree fruits for a week straight, couldn't resist the urge any longer. He simply spent five Shock Points to exchange for a bottle of Moo Moo Milk.
The next second, a can of Moo Moo Milk appeared out of thin air in front of him.
Seeing this sudden sight, Entei was slightly taken aback, then quickly became alert.
[Entei is extremely shocked by the Moo Moo Milk that appeared out of thin air. Where did this come from?]
[This is… Little One's power? Shock Points from Entei +10!]
Oh wow? An unexpected gain? Fuyuki had just picked up the bottle when he received the notification, and his eyes lit up immediately.
Seeing Little One already happily munching on the milk, with a rather satisfied expression on his face, Entei's tense expression slowly relaxed.
Sure enough, this thing is related to its Little One.
However… to Entei's surprise, the little one possessed such power.
It was momentarily at a loss for how to react.
Just then, Entei suddenly saw another bottle of milky white liquid appear beside the little one.
The little one held the bottle in both hands, offering it to it with an expectant look, as if it had been prepared especially for it.
Entei was slightly taken aback.
It shook its head and said telepathically, "I don't need it, you keep it for yourself!"
This stuff looked so precious; wouldn't it be a waste to give it to it?
Besides, it was so valuable; it couldn't bear to drink it.
