Lorze, originally intending to search for Meloetta in Pinwheel Forest, accidentally encountered Alder and defeated him without falling into a disadvantage in the slightest. To Lorze, it seemed to be just something done in passing.
Lorze, having exchanged blows with Alder, wore a completely burned-out appearance. He simply fell back onto the lushly growing grass with a "thud" to rest: Facing the Champion with an incomplete hand of cards still carried some pressure. Fortunately, I am more of a stall player... no, it's because my skills are superior...
Seeing this, the furry, plump fox wife Zoroark very virtuously provided a soft lap pillow for the man she deeply loved. Although this lap pillow wasn't as infatuating as Big Sister Mewtwo's, the enchanting body scent on the fox girl was quite unique. The soft fur also felt very warm and comfortable to the touch. Lorze looked very satisfied.
"Thank you, Zoroark, very comfortable."
"Hehehe, as long as Hubby likes it~"
Hearing her husband's praise, Zoroark also covered her mouth and let out a charming fox smile. Retracting her sharp claws, she gently stroked Lorze's hair and caressed Lorze's face. As for Zorua, she was also very sensible at this time and didn't disturb Lorze, merely lying beside her dad, staring infatuatedly at Lorze's sleeping face.
However, just as he planned to close his eyes and rest for a while, a familiar tune and singing voice faintly drifted from the depths of the forest at an indeterminate distance. Even though he only heard some weak sounds, Lorze still felt traces of power surging into his body. It startled him so much he sprang up from Zoroark's lap with a "whoosh": Wait a minute, this sound and tune... isn't this exactly the Relic Song? Could it be Meloetta!?
Although the sound was faint, the direction of the source was incomparably clear. Thinking about how he intentionally searched for so long without any news whatsoever, yet unintentionally obtained the object he painstakingly sought. This is truly... finding it effortlessly.
The wives looked at each other in dismay, and finally cast inquiring gazes towards Lorze: They also heard some intermittent, faint singing. But this is Pinwheel Forest; it's inevitably a bit... eerie. But in all fairness, even just at this level, this song is still pleasant to hear and infatuating.
"This tune... there's no mistake, this is... the Relic Song. Everyone heard it too, right?"
The wives beside him nodded one after another. A few even wore intoxicated expressions, immersed in the pleasant-sounding Relic Song, as if receiving a baptism from music.
"Truly... sounds so good."
"It is indeed a very wonderful song. If we're lucky this time, maybe we can meet the Mythical Pokémon I've been looking for... Meloetta! Even if just to listen to the song live, we have to go take a look!"
"Agreed!"
Clearly he just had a sweet time with Little Sister Leavanny not long ago, does this playboy husband have a new target again? It seems another girl is going to fall for him. Truly a man whose crimes deserve death ten thousand times over!
However, the wives were quite happy. If they could bring this unseen sister home too, there would definitely be beautiful songs to listen to in the treehouse every day~ Having more artistic atmosphere in life isn't bad either.
Next, Lorze and his wives transformed into fanatical pink fans chasing their pop star, running together towards the source of the singing: Cute little songstress, I fucking layla (love you)!
Although they were very excited, they were all very sneaky, trying their best not to make any noise, also afraid of scaring away the singing young girl.
Then, Lorze, hiding behind the bushes, saw her—one of the Pokémon girls he had been yearning for even before coming to the Unova region: Meloetta.
The environment here wasn't that open. The distribution of trees formed a natural small room. The vibrant green grass carpet was dotted with a few blooming flowers, looking just like... a karaoke practice room in the woods.
At this moment, Meloetta was sitting alone on a large tree stump, seemingly practicing singing by herself. From Lorze's current angle, he could only see Meloetta's profile, but this still couldn't conceal her beauty.
The headset microphone-like hair accessory made Meloetta look like she had a classic singer's styling. This fit exceptionally well with her sweet voice and pleasant-sounding Relic Song.
The naturally hanging light green waterfall-like long hair swayed gently with the movement of her head. The patterns on her hair were like a musical staff and musical measures. And the emerald green eyes closely resembling whole notes revealed a pure beauty seemingly unpolluted by anything in the world.
Lorze was deeply infatuated by Meloetta's eyes. However, Meloetta still looked straight ahead, not knowing if her peripheral vision saw Lorze. Just looking at this absorbed appearance... she seemingly didn't realize she was being peeped at.
When displaying her singing voice, Meloetta's small hands were also making gestures conducive to vocalization. Although her arms were very slender, her palms were relatively large ovals, and the entire arm was elegantly pitch-black. Looking at it, it resembled a quarter note, quite cute.
Even the headset closely resembling a microphone adopted the shape of a treble clef in its design. So Meloetta, from top to bottom, her whole body was piled with designs of musical elements. She is a cute little loli with distinct characteristics.
It's worth mentioning that regarding male attention to the female body, that part is always never absent. And Meloetta's chest and buttocks were relatively flat. This point could be seen incomparably clearly from the side. She seemed somewhat similar to Jirachi's figure, a flat-chested little loli...
However, plumpness has the benefits of plumpness, and flatness also has the wonders of flatness. Regarding Meloetta, Lorze felt the current her was already very good.
Lorze and his wives didn't impolitely step forward to disturb her just like this. Instead, following Meloetta's singing voice, they immersed themselves in the Relic Song. At this moment, they were the best listeners.
It is said that Meloetta's song is sung using a special vocalization method, possessing the power to manipulate the listener's emotions. To put it bluntly, in this song of hers... there's probably ice (drugs) mixed in.
As for now, the crowd listening attentively all received an uplifting emotion and strength. It seems this song of Meloetta's... is intended to inspire her listeners. The power of music is truly wondrous.
When the song ended, Meloetta wore a very relaxed appearance, seemingly very satisfied with this practice. And Lorze and his wives, wearing intoxicated faces, savored the singing voice from just now for a long time.
Just now, because they didn't want to disturb Meloetta practicing her song, everyone didn't go up and greet her. Now that Meloetta had finished practicing, seeing the timing was ripe, they didn't stint their praise in the slightest, offering the most enthusiastic applause for Meloetta. This startled the little songstress.
"Ah! You are..."
"We... should be said to be people who came admiring your fame. Because we heard Meloetta's singing halfway, we were attracted over. Seeing Meloetta singing all along, we didn't say hello. Sorry to disturb you, Meloetta, but that song just now... truly sounds very good!"
"I-Is that so? If everyone can like it, it is my honor, hehe~"
Receiving praise and encouragement from listeners seemed very effective on Meloetta. After all, what artist doesn't hope their talents are recognized by others? She also didn't mind being eavesdropped and peeped at. She hurriedly changed from sitting on the tree stump to standing on it, bowing gracefully with proper etiquette to her listeners.
But after that, Meloetta boldly approached with great curiosity, flying a circle around Lorze, seemingly confirming something.
"Actually, the singing just now was sung using a special vocalization method. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be heard through normal hearing. The fact that everyone could hear it also proves you can resonate with my Relic Song spiritually. I am truly... truly very happy."
As for Lorze's wives, perhaps because their hearts are linked with Lorze's, they were also affected and able to hear Meloetta's singing voice.
"So that's how it is?"
Meloetta smiled and nodded. Very enthusiastically taking Lorze's hand, she invited these unexpected visitors to sit in a circle on the grass and chat.
"I don't even know what everyone's names are yet. May I ask... can you tell me?"
"Just call me Lorze~"
Meloetta rested her small, quarter note-like hand on her chin. She still had some misgivings, wondering why Lorze could directly call out her name.
"Has Lorze seen Meloetta before? Even though Meloetta hasn't even told Lorze my name yet."
"Hmph hmph, this is... a secret~ At least we don't look like bad people, right?"
That's true. Even starting from the fact that they could resonate with her singing voice, Meloetta also believed Lorze and the Pokémon girls beside him were not bad people.
"Mhm, Meloetta is willing to believe Lorze!"
Looking at such a pure Meloetta, Lorze also secretly resolved to protect her well: In the anime, Meloetta was abducted by Team Rocket. The group of clansmen protecting her were truly pure trash (worthless), both weak and constantly restricting Meloetta's freedom. It's ridiculous!
And after Lorze, the wives also introduced themselves one after another to this endearing, cute little songstress. After going around the circle like this, even if not very familiar, they had a basic understanding. In Meloetta's eyes, they were all very easy-going people.
"Actually, I live together with everyone in the tribe. Right now, I sneaked out alone. Here, is my secret base for practicing singing by myself. Everyone is also welcome to visit, hehe~"
The tribe Meloetta spoke of is a tribe that has lived together with her for generations. It is said that the people of this tribe possess the ability to perceive Meloetta.
It's a pity that even in the anime, the audience was not informed of the name of this tribe. Only one member, Ridley, made an appearance. Let's just simply call them the Ridley Tribe here.
Just sneaking out to practice singing and accidentally encountering a group of confidants who could appreciate her singing voice, Meloetta smiled like a flower. That was excitement and joy from the bottom of her heart.
Although things were very good like this now, Lorze faintly felt something was missing. It wasn't until his stomach let out "gurgle gurgle" growling sounds that he reacted: Oh, isn't it missing food!
"Oh right, just sitting here like this... how can we do without some delicious food? Coincidentally, I still have some snacks here. Everyone can eat together, and Meloetta can eat a bit more too!"
Amidst Meloetta's dumbfoundedness, Lorze directly pulled out a large handful of snacks and pastries out of thin air. There were Poffins and Pokéblocks he personally made using Berries, and also delicacies bought from the System Shop like Poké Beans, Old Gateau, Rage Candy Bar, and Lava Cookie, etc. Various kinds of snacks were all available.
The bashful Meloetta initially felt too embarrassed to eat Lorze's snacks. But Lorze said this was a reward for letting them hear the wonderful singing voice, it was the remuneration Meloetta deserved, and hoped she could accept it. Of course, dealing with it on the spot was the best.
Watching these Pokémon girls eating so heartily, plus Lorze softening her up on the side, Meloetta finally agreed to taste a little bit, just a little bit.
Lorze handed her a Poffin shaped like Mew—this was a cute pastry he made with his own hands, which had been praised by Mew for its striking resemblance! Lorze was still very confident in his culinary skills. He believed one bite could make Meloetta fall in love with his craftsmanship, and that would be taking a huge step forward on the path of conquering Meloetta!
After taking this pastry resembling a small bread with both hands, Meloetta first sniffed it. A gentle yet unassuming mellow fragrance wafted into her nasal cavity. Whether it was the shape or the smell, it made one have a great appetite.
Afterwards, Meloetta opened her cherry-like small mouth, sending this Poffin into her mouth and beginning to chew.
Lorze rested his chin on his hand, looking quite dotingly at the little songstress chewing carefully and swallowing slowly: Even eating is this elegant and this cute. His heart is about to be melted by Meloetta~
As for Meloetta tasting the Poffin, first she bit into a mouthful of fluffiness—that feeling was light and airy, as if she were lying above the clouds...
Following closely behind was the delicious cream mixed within, dotting the pastry to make it even tastier. The sweet but not cloying taste rippled in her mouth like a gurgling, flowing stream. This crisp sweetness not only sweetened her mouth, even Meloetta's maiden heart was sweetened by it.
To Meloetta, this was a peerless delicacy she had never tasted in all her long life. Her eyes shone brightly, disregarding her lady-like image, she devoured the Poffin in her hand ravenously. Then, cupping her blushing face with both hands, she praised: "What an amazing Poffin... truly, truly super delicious!"
"Haha, as long as Meloetta likes it. Actually, I made it myself. Do you feel it's pretty good~"
"R-Really? Lorze is so amazing!"
"It's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask my partners."
Meloetta looked at the girls beside Lorze. They immediately cooperated with Lorze, praising their husband's culinary skills extravagantly, almost buttering Lorze up until he floated—But the wives didn't feel guilty either, because Lorze's craftsmanship is truly great. Hubby's loving cooking is also a crucial link in maintaining their extremely high happiness index.
"It's true, Big Brother Lorze's craftsmanship is the best! Eating meals made by Big Brother Lorze... and living together with Big Brother Lorze, it's truly all very blissful❤."
With the wives corroborating on the side, Meloetta was truly conquered by Lorze's culinary skills. His smile was also very sunny and very warm. This brought a super bonus points good impression to Meloetta: A gentle male who is good at cooking, and his appearance is also very handsome. It truly is very hard for people not to be moved...
