Teddiursa chimed in from the side: "One-e one-e!" (That's right! Besides the guild, there are also the Pokemon Tavern, Pokemon Cafe, Pokemon Restaurant, and Pokemon Hospital, all run by Pokemon!)
"Miu!" (And Naoki will plant lots and lots of fruit trees, so everyone won't have to worry about going hungry!)
Teddiursa's eyes were full of determination.
"One-e!" (We want the name of the Heroic Expedition Team to be known throughout the world! Helping every Pokemon in need!)
Hearing the words of the two Pokemon and witnessing the scenes on the World Tree, even before Mewtwo could speak, the group of Pokemon behind it showed expressions of longing.
If possible, they really wished for a home of their own, where they could eat Berries full every day and wake up to play with their companions.
Instead of wandering around like this... homeless, like stray Pokemon, roaming everywhere.
Most importantly, with Mewtwo together.
Living happily in a paradise just for them.
After the introduction, Mew and Teddiursa didn't speak again.
They quietly looked at Mewtwo and the group of Pokemon in front of them, leaving the remaining time for everyone else.
Although they really wanted to invite everyone to settle on the World Tree, ultimately, it was a decision everyone had to make themselves.
Mewtwo silently looked at the Pokemon behind it.
When it saw their eyes, it already had the answer in its heart.
"Do you want to live in that place?"
The second Pikachu, cloned from Ash's Pikachu, was the first to answer: "Pikachu!" (Mewtwo will come with us too!)
The clone of Team Rocket's Meowth showed longing: "Meow." (No matter where you look at the moon, it's always round, meow.)
Mewtwo was slightly startled.
Its gaze swept over the surrounding Pokemon.
Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise and other Pokemon nodded to it in unison.
Mewtwo closed its eyes and softly said: "I understand."
A moment later, it opened its eyes and turned to look at the waiting Mew and Teddiursa.
"Thank you, Mew, Teddiursa." Mewtwo's deep voice echoed in the ears of the two Pokemon: "Next, we will set off together to see the place you mentioned."
"Miu!" Mew let out a happy cry.
Teddiursa also nodded happily: "One-e!" (Yes, yes, you will definitely fall in love with that place! There, you won't have to wander around outside anymore!)
Seeing these two Pokemon so thoughtful for them, Mewtwo was touched.
"Mm." It nodded, then asked: "Will you come with us to that place?"
Mew and Teddiursa shook their heads.
"One-e, one-e one-e!" (Not for now, Naoki gave us some tasks, we're going to help a Pokemon named Jirachi!)
"Miu!" (We'll go back in the winter, and then I'll take you to play in my secret base, there are lots of toys!)
Seeing Mew so innocent and childlike, Mewtwo couldn't help but smile.
Was it cloned from such a Pokemon?
Now, it seems their personalities are incredibly different.
The human genes within it told Mewtwo that, in a sense, Mew was its mother.
And throughout its years traveling this world, Mewtwo had long understood what a mother was.
But seeing Mew in front like a child, Mewtwo suppressed that thought.
It nodded and agreed: "Mm, we'll be there waiting for you to return."

In the afternoon, after Naoki successfully delivered the apples ordered by a customer, he started heading back to the ranch.
On the dirt-scented countryside path, Naoki drove his old pickup truck leisurely along.
A bunch of Eevees crowded the passenger seat, pressing their faces against the window, watching the scenery on the sides of the road.
While Koraidon and Cyclizar sat in the back of the pickup truck.
Occasionally, trainers with travel backpacks could be seen running by, and sometimes, you'd see them take out a Poke Ball and battle with Pokemon in the grass.
Watching that scene, Naoki, driving the pickup truck, felt like a background NPC in a game, living a simple life of driving around and traveling back and forth with Pokemon.
Wasn't that what a Normal person in the Pokemon World was like?
Suddenly, Naoki noticed a trainer with an anxious expression standing by the roadside, waving at him.
Raising an eyebrow, Naoki parked the car by the road, leaned out the window, and asked: "Hey, what's up?"
The young boy, looking anxious, replied: "Sir, please help us and take us to the nearest town! This Litleo is hurt and needs treatment quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Naoki looked at the Litleo in the boy's arms.
The Litleo had its eyes shut tight, full of wounds, with messy fur, looking very weak, as if it was seriously injured.
"Don't worry, hang on!"
Saying this, Naoki took out a bottle of Life Sheep Milk from the truck bed and handed it over: "Feed it to that Litleo. After drinking this milk, its body will get better."
The boy was momentarily dazed, but quickly realized and fed the bottle of fresh milk to the severely injured Litleo.
The next second, a miraculous scene unfolded.
The milk transformed into magical energy, beginning to heal the wounds on Litleo's body at a visible speed.
In the blink of an eye, the Litleo had recovered health, and then slowly opened its eyes.
