The next day, inside the ice cave.
Irida, her pretty face still retaining a charming flush, tremulously opened her eyes. She found herself lying on a flat ice platform, still faintly feeling an elusive male scent and warmth on her body.
Mmm... was she held here by Lord God-Blessed One all night?
"Awake? Eat an Oran Berry first."
Just as she woke up, Hakuya took out a berry prepared in advance from his spatial backpack.
"Mmm... T-Thank you, Master..."
Holding the blue berry handed by the farm owner in her hands, the still slightly sleepy Irida took a light bite. Amidst the bursting sweet juice, she recalled fainting from climax last night, and her originally red cheeks subconsciously turned a few shades redder.
Watching this blonde girl nibbling on the berry like a cute little hamster, Hakuya shook his head with secret amusement, while his hands began organizing the Never-Melt Ice collected last night.
"Master, are these all to be taken back for sale?"
"No~" Hearing Irida's curious inquiry, Hakuya stopped his movements and explained, "Didn't you say the farm was too hot to sleep? If these heat-insulating Never-Melt Ice are decorated in the room, the temperature will be much more suitable..."
"Eh?!"
The blonde girl still eating the Oran Berry froze.
She thought Hakuya only went to Mount Coronet last night to capture Electric-type Pokémon and treasure hunt. She didn't expect that just hearing her say she was too hot to sleep, he would make a special trip here to collect Never-Melt Ice capable of cooling the room for her.
Not to mention the residual warmth on her body at this moment. Irida could judge very clearly—seeming worried she would catch a cold at night, Hakuya held her in his arms to warm her all night, and the moment she woke up, he gently handed over a sweet and juicy Oran Berry...
For a moment, Irida's face was flushed red, warmth surging in her heart.
"If you feel moved, remember to last a bit longer next time."
Seeming to sense the girl's thoughts, Hakuya turned his head, the corners of his mouth rising.
"..."
Irida, whose beautiful eyes were misty and heart touched just now, froze instantly.
She recalled last night's experience again—initially wanting to use the soft, sticky dumplings on her chest to help Hakuya warm his hands, but in the end, just having her white silk ice cream below eaten a few times, she fainted from climax and heat.
T-Too shameful!!!
"Uuu~ Clearly it's Master's problem... w-who would eat there..."
Ignoring the noble Lord God-Blessed One and completely discarding the beautiful girl image she maintained for a long time, Irida, whose body temperature soared and turned into a steam engine again, pounced on him.
"Hahahaha~"
Feeling the delicate, water-like cheek hitting his chest, Hakuya couldn't help laughing.
Unknowingly, the already close and ambiguous relationship between him and Irida became a few steps closer.
No longer the lofty God-Blessed One and the humble maid with a mission to serve, but more like lovers with blended hearts and a true bond.
After playing around with this blonde girl for a while, Hakuya didn't forget this morning's serious business—going to the Valley Windworks to capture the desired Electric-type Pokémon for generating electricity for the farm.
"Wow~ I didn't expect to see such a large flower field on the way to the power plant."
More than ten minutes later, just jumping off Articuno's back, Irida held the farm owner's arm beside her, unable to help sighing at the blossoming scene before her.
"Because we happened to arrive at the outskirts of Floaroma Town. This is known as the town of floating floral scents..."
Seeing this, Hakuya gently rubbed the blonde girl's beautiful hair. While pulling her through the field paths of the flower garden, he didn't forget to explain.
At this moment, a strong, rich floral fragrance floated in the air. Endless brilliant flowers completely surrounded them. A few Beautifly could be seen flying among the tender buds and leaves, diligently collecting pollen.
Different from the remote and cold Snowpoint City, due to the abundant production of Honey and the fragrant flower seas everywhere, Floaroma Town was very famous among major towns. In the voting of the League Tourism Times all year round, it was ranked second only to Hearthome City as the most livable place in the Sinnoh region.
Looking at it now, it was indeed true.
"Hurry up! Hand over the Honey obediently!"
"That's right, to lure more Pokémon, our Team Galactic can't lack this!"
"W-Wait a minute, how dare you rob things in broad daylight? Budew, prepare for battle!" "Dew~"
Just as Hakuya took Irida to pass through this flower field completely to find the large power plant at the end of the road, they happened to see a robbery scene.
Two people wearing silver-black uniforms with the letter "G" printed on their chests approached maliciously. The middle-aged woman surrounded by them held the freshly collected Honey in her hands, throwing a Poké Ball with an angry face to resist.
"Can't help it. Weezing, show her some color!" "Houndour, you go too!"
Hearing these people claiming to be Team Galactic members snort coldly, two white lights exploded—Weezing revealing a ferocious face spat out balls of poisonous black mist, while the cold Houndour raised its neck, its sharp fangs showing terrifying pressure just under the sunlight.
"Team Galactic?"
Hakuya looked at the scene before him, freezing for a moment.
Unexpectedly, just coming out to capture an Electric-type Pokémon, he encountered the biggest villain organization in the Sinnoh region's plot.
Although unclear what these guys wanted to do, he had to intervene to stop them.
"Hmph, two more people came? Weezing, use Sludge Bomb!"
Noticing Hakuya and Irida rushing over from not far away, seeming to want to intervene, the burlier Team Galactic grunt on the left snorted coldly, still speaking arrogantly and ruthlessly.
"Mere Gardevoir and Glaceon, compared to our Team Galactic, are just..."
However, before he could finish being arrogant, under the wave of Miss Gardevoir's slender hand, he and the Weezing in front of him were locked and controlled by a powerful psychic force, bouncing back and forth in the air and on the ground like a ball.
Boom—
Accompanied by the fierce cracking sound of bones, this Team Galactic grunt rolled his eyes back and passed out completely.
Witnessing the whole process of his companion being beaten up, the other Team Galactic grunt with a scar on his forehead turned pale, swallowing subconsciously.
Even facing the Commanders in Team Galactic, he had never felt such powerful pressure.
With just one strike, making the Pokémon and Trainer lose combat capability without resistance... this way of fighting was a bit too brutal...
"Glaceon, use Ice Beam!"
Completely ignoring the scared Team Galactic grunt starting to flee, Irida beside him commanded loudly directly.
In an instant, the ice beam energy frozen into frost raised bursts of biting cold wind, forcefully blasting Houndour and its Trainer to the ground.
For this Hisuian girl, such a wild battle method wasn't brutal or bloody at all. After all, in the Hisui region a thousand years ago, capturing Pokémon with one's physical body was the norm, and choosing to attack the Trainer directly when facing an opponent was also a standard operation.
"It's over. Are you okay?"
Throwing the two unconscious Team Galactic grunts together, after notifying the Floaroma Town police station, Hakuya turned his gaze to the long-haired woman who was robbed and attacked earlier.
