Within an unknown, otherworldly space—
Three Pokémon gazed at Silas, whispering softly among themselves.
At that moment, a sound like shattering glass echoed through the void.
All three instantly took defensive stances.
But once they saw who had entered, they quickly relaxed.
They even greeted the newcomer cheerfully.
Yellow, red, and blue, the three primary colors converged within this strange space.
The Lake Guardians, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf.
The Ho-Oh Trio, Raikou, Entei, and Suicune.
Though they hailed from different regions, the six Legendary Pokémon clearly got along quite well.
From time to time, a dazzling light flickered across Azelf's blue body.
If someone were to observe carefully, they would notice that every time that light flashed, someone in Leaf Town would inevitably charge toward the Tauros herd.
As the Legendary Pokémon of Willpower, whether it be courage or the desire to protect, such emotions were Azelf's source of strength.
While it bestowed these feelings upon humanity, human actions in turn influenced the flow of its power.
Invisible waves surged continuously around the six Pokémon.
Yet aside from them and the master of this space, no human or Pokémon could know what was being discussed.
The sun's brilliance gradually faded.
Under the glow of the setting sun, Silas emerged from a massive circular building in Leaf Town, Ralts perched on his shoulder.
Both Trainer and Pokémon still wore expressions of excitement.
While the one-on-one Tauros battles might have sounded monotonous, the sheer impact of powerful bodies colliding was visually overwhelming.
Much like Pokémon sumo tournaments or the P1 Grand Prix, only by witnessing it in person could one truly appreciate how captivating such battles were.
Silas was already considering whether he should catch a decent Tauros himself.
Not for anything else, just to participate in events like these now and then.
He shook his head.
Calming down, he quickly abandoned the idea.
There was no need.
If worst came to worst, he could just wait a few years, once Ash set out on his journey, there would be plenty of Tauros he could borrow for the experience.
That idiot had caught an entire herd, after all.
If the Pokémon League didn't fully reimburse the Oak Laboratory's Pokémon food expenses, Professor Oak probably wouldn't be able to handle Ash's catching speed either.
"Ral~"
The Ralts on Silas's shoulder had stars practically shining in its eyes.
"Come on, little girl. Let's head back and eat."
Stretching lazily beneath the sunset, Silas patted the adorable Pokémon.
Ralts rubbed its stomach and nodded vigorously.
Their shadows stretched longer and longer, merged into one, and vanished into the bustling crowd.
"I'm back."
"Ral~"
Pushing open the door to the Pokémon Center room, Silas and Ralts greeted cheerfully.
The room was eerily quiet.
"What's going on here…"
Muttering to himself, Silas closed the door and walked inside.
The moment he entered the bedroom, he froze.
"What… are you doing?"
His face darkened as he stared at the utter chaos before him.
He had every reason to suspect that Team Rocket and Team Magma had joined forces and raided the place.
"Blaz…"
Blaziken let out a weak cry.
It wasn't its fault, it just couldn't resist running around a bit.
"Pii—!"
"Giga!"
"Toge~"
"Amph~"
The other Pokémon immediately began furiously passing the blame.
Silas pinched his temples.
It felt like his head was about to explode.
"Thankfully…"
Looking at Gigalith, curled up in the corner as if nothing had happened, he silently comforted himself.
At least one of them was reliable.
Sensing Silas's gaze, Gigalith, disguised as a block of bluish stone, shifted nervously.
It even adjusted its angle slightly to cover the sand beneath it.
Silas didn't notice a thing.
"Looks like you're all full of energy."
Turning around, Silas's lips curled into a terrifying smile.
"Seems my training schedule hasn't been intense enough."
All five Pokémon froze.
Ralts giggled as it watched the scene unfold.
With its ability to sense emotions, it knew Silas wasn't actually angry, and it knew the others weren't truly panicking either.
As for why they acted like this, it was probably just their unique shared understanding.
"Little guy, you seem pretty happy too. How about some extra training tonight?"
A chilling voice reached Ralts's ears.
In the next instant, the Ralts that had been on Silas's shoulder appeared on Togekiss's back.
One hand on its hip, the other pointing dramatically at Silas, it looked incredibly imposing.
Though, Silas felt it would be even more convincing if it actually showed its body instead of hiding behind Togekiss's crown.
The once-quiet room instantly descended into absolute chaos.
Worried about disturbing others?
Impossible.
Don't ask, high-tech soundproofing.
Besides, Pokémon Center rooms were basically designed for this sort of thing.
Otherwise, injured Pokémon would never get a moment's peace.
Half an hour later, Silas saw Nurse Joy off after she finished cleaning.
"Sorry for the trouble."
He stood outside the door, waving politely.
"It's fine, but please be more careful next time~"
Nurse Joy smiled sweetly as she expertly organized her cleaning cart.
Clearly, she was already used to this.
"Absolutely. Definitely."
Silas nodded repeatedly.
That repair bill was several thousand Poké Dollars.
Even if it was a small amount, he couldn't keep doing this forever.
After all, damage caused by Pokémon instincts required full compensation.
"Bang."
Watching Nurse Joy's figure gradually disappear down the corridor, Silas immediately shut the door and slipped back inside.
The room had already been restored to its original state.
Silas swept his gaze around.
The Pokémon were all behaving themselves now, some sitting, some lying down on the sofa, the floor, or even the bed.
"Clang, clang."
Blaziken tapped its food bowl with the spoon in its hand.
The argument was over, could they eat now or what?
No one knew when it started, but Blaziken had developed a fondness for eating Pokémon food with a spoon.
Even though, for Pokémon, eating with their hands was usually the more natural option.
"Coming, coming, wait a bit."
With his back turned and an apron tied around his waist, Silas answered irritably.
These days, was being a Trainer really that easy?
The aroma of food gradually filled the room.
The Pokémon all sniffed the air in unison.
"Ral~"
Ralts opened its eyes wide.
It smelled amazing.
It had never smelled food this good before.
"This one's yours."
Holding a tray, Silas placed Ralts's custom Pokéblocks into its large bowl.
The Pokéblocks, made from a blend of purple and red Berries, were a pale pink color, with a sweet-and-sour flavor.
Ralts curiously reached out and poked the unfamiliar food.
"Ampha~"
Nearby, Ampharos lifted its bright yellow Pokéblock, urging Ralts to hurry up and eat.
It tossed the Pokéblock into its mouth, and its already-small eyes immediately squinted into thin lines.
Ralts followed suit.
However, compared to the Pokéblock, its mouth was still a bit small.
Its cheeks bulged as the Pokéblock filled its mouth.
Thankfully, thanks to the special nature of Pokéblocks, they practically melted upon contact.
In the blink of an eye, the Pokéblock turned into liquid and slid down into Ralts's stomach.
"Slurp."
Ralts instinctively swallowed.
Then it buried its face straight into the bowl.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
Silas reminded it casually.
He didn't know about anything else, but when it came to eating posture, Ralts had clearly picked up the essentials from its seniors very quickly.
The Pokémon Egg on the bedside table flickered softly as well.
"What, you want to eat too?" Silas joked. "Then wait until you hatch."
The egg flashed even more intensely.
If Silas's calculations were right, the Alolan Vulpix inside would need about three or four more days before hatching.
By then, he should be in Goldenrod City.
As the largest economic center in Johto, it had plenty of foods suitable for Pokémon in their infancy.
Which also meant another huge expense.
Stuffing a bite of synthetic meat into his mouth, Silas let out a helpless sigh.
Just thinking about it, The other Pokémon's Berry supplies needed restocking;
Ralts still required some special materials;
Gigalith's reserve of special rocks was nearly depleted;
Blaziken's weighted training gear needed upgrading, and now that Pidgeot had broken through, even basic training equipment had to be purchased again—
No, no, no. He couldn't think about it anymore.
He hurriedly finished his last bite.
"I'm heading out again. Behave yourselves and stay in the room no more destruction, okay?"
With that, Silas grabbed his backpack and headed for the door.
"Ral~"
Ralts appeared on Silas's shoulder in a fluster, clutching a few Pokéblocks.
"What, you want to come with me too?"
Feeling the sudden weight, Silas asked.
Ralts nodded happily while still stuffing food into its mouth.
"Alright."
After a moment's thought, Silas agreed.
He was mainly worried that the upcoming environment might be dangerous for Ralts if it stayed behind.
"Blaziken, you're coming too."
Just to be safe, Silas decided to bring his most reliable partner along.
"Blaze."
Blaziken nodded and stood up.
One Trainer and two Pokémon stepped outside the Pokémon Center.
As night fell, Leaf Town took on an entirely different appearance.
Lanterns and lights adorned the streets, and all kinds of stalls lined the roadside.
"This is my Quagsire. the mucus on its skin keeps it glossy at all times, and it feels great to the touch!"
Nearby, a square-faced middle-aged man was enthusiastically introducing his partner to a young woman.
For some reason, the wording made Silas feel a bit uncomfortable.
What kind of mucus could possibly feel great to the touch?
Still, judging by her expression, the young woman seemed quite interested in Quagsire.
After all, it did have a rather endearing, goofy look.
"Then, which Pokémon would I need to trade with you?"
