Ninetales was somewhat surprised.
Little Six-tailed's eyes were twinkling.
So beautiful.
Togekiss gently raised its eyebrows at Little Six-tailed.
Suddenly Little Six-tailed burst into giggles.
"I can't guarantee anything else, but in the entire Pokemon Realm now, there should be no one who understands the Fairy Type better than me."
Natsuhiko continued his "approach."
"Even if you don't consider yourself, you should think about Vulpix. This ability is very powerful, and mastering it early helps a lot."
Saying this.
Togekiss, already well-versed in Natsuhiko's "tactics," flew forward.
It fished out two sparkling pink Energy Blocks from somewhere, Energy Blocks fused with Fairy Energy, unique in the entire Pokemon Realm.
"Awoo!!" Little Six-tailed's eyes lit up instantly upon seeing these Energy Blocks.
Its little nose sniffed lightly.
After Togekiss repeatedly gestured to "try it."
Little Six-tailed carefully took a small bite out of the Energy Block.
Instantly.
Its eyes squinted into slits.
"Awoo!!"
'Delicious!!'
Togekiss nodded in satisfaction and then turned back skillfully and playfully winked at Natsuhiko.
Seeing its boasting, the smile on Natsuhiko's face grew wider.
He continued speaking to Ninetales: "You wouldn't want Vulpix to always be so lonely, right?"
This phrase.
Was the most impactful on Ninetales.
Ninetales felt a jolt, looking at Little Six-tailed laughing and chatting with Togekiss, beckoning to the approaching Eevee and Latios.
Recalling a few days ago atop Lanakila Mountain, Little Six-tailed seemed so alone playing with snowballs.
Its heart softened.
Vulpix should have a few friends too.
In the end.
As a mother, Ninetales gives the most weight to its child in its heart.
It pressed its lips and silently nodded.
Upon seeing it agree, the happiest one was Little Six-tailed.
"Awoo~~"
It immediately jumped up from the ground and leapt into Natsuhiko's arms, snuggling comfortably.
Ninetales glanced at it begrudgingly.
There's a "mole" around.
What's there to talk about?
But actually, Ninetales had its own thoughts.
It looked at the black Crystal Stone held in Natsuhiko's hand.
Although it didn't know what this black Crystal Stone was.
It had guarded the Crystal Stone for countless years, and it had become a kind of attachment in its heart.
Now following Natsuhiko who had the Crystal Stone, its mission continued.
Even if Kapu-Muu had already rewarded them for their contributions.
"Buyi!!"
Eevee saw Vulpix taking its spot and immediately puffed its cheeks, jumping up from the ground.
It twisted its little butt and managed to find a small gap in Natsuhiko's arms, squeezing itself in.
"Buyi~~"
But when it touched Vulpix, it immediately felt soft, icy, cool, and so comfortable.
It directly pressed its cheek against Little Six-tailed's face.
Sighing contentedly.
At this moment, Little Six-tailed was a bit puzzled.
Am I being... taken advantage of?
Of course, the deepest feeling came from Natsuhiko, who was holding the two little ones.
Left hand Little Six-tailed, right hand Little Eevee.
One cool, one warm.
A quite peculiar feeling.
Seeing Vulpix and Eevee fighting over a spot originally belonging to itself, Togekiss pouted.
Raised its head.
Showing disdain.
But its peripheral vision kept glancing deliberately.
Finally.
"Chako yi!!"
'Can't take it anymore!!'
Togekiss lunged at Natsuhiko.
Bang!
With its current size, pouncing at Natsuhiko would knock over not only Natsuhiko but Vulpix and Eevee too, right?
"Oss oss!"
'Me too! Me too!'
Togekiss was manageable, but Latios with its over two-meter size wanted to join as well.
Bang!!
Four Pokémon in a playful tumble.
But each Pokémon had a smile on its face.
Natsuhiko: Would you consider me?
Nearby, Beedrill, Alakazam, and Aegislash also smiled.
Even Ninetales, witness to the entire "incident."
Seeing Little Six-tailed integrate quickly, those wholehearted smiles, that unprecedented joy, that heartfelt happiness...
Ninetales' lips naturally curled up.
So nice...
