"Boom!"
Billowing clouds of dust and flying gravel surged up as the unconscious giant dragon crashed heavily onto the top of the Sky Pillar. Its long, slender tail even had to hang off the edge because the platform was too narrow.
Landing smoothly on the stone brick floor with everyone, the Mega Evolution states of his three wives were also deactivated one by one.
Latias, with a look of utter exhaustion, closed her eyes and collapsed into Lorze's embrace. Even her jet-wing-like wings looked a bit wilted.
[Wuu, big brother Lorze, Latias is so tired...]
"You really worked hard, Latias~"
Hugging the dragon sister tightly, Lorze stroked the downy feathers on her neck: In this battle, Latias served as both a mount and a combatant, and the weight she carried became increasingly ridiculous... She did impeccably in both regards and was indeed exhausted.
At the same time, a slight sense of pride welled up within him: To actually defeat Rayquaza in its base form, it was a victory of immense caliber!
The Pokémon wives surrounding Lorze also felt somewhat dazed by this. To actually defeat that seemingly invincible monster... it was unbelievable.
Wives' strength aside, Lorze himself had also improved significantly: Under the blessing of the Fairy aura, powering three Mega Evolutions and a Z-Move simultaneously only made him slightly fatigued. In the past, just powering Mega Evolutions would leave him dead tired like a dog.
The young man couldn't help but silently chant in his heart: Thank you, Arceus, thank you, Xerneas.
"Gardevoir-chan? Could I trouble you to heal everyone?"
"Sou~" [Mmhmm!]
After Gardevoir, who still had relatively abundant energy, used Life Dew to heal everyone's wounds and alleviate their fatigue, Lorze carried Latias on his back and led everyone toward the dragon's head.
At this moment, the giant dragon had its huge mouth wide open with its tongue sticking out, and its eyes had turned into swirls. It no longer had its usual sharp and fierce look; instead, it looked somewhat comical.
A perfect opportunity!
But Lorze didn't actually do anything weird. He just stuffed a bunch of Pokéblocks and other Pokémon delicacies into the giant dragon's mouth.
The resilience of Legendary Pokémon was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It certainly wouldn't die, but it would probably need to rest for a while.
—And these high-energy delicacies should be of some help in healing its injuries.
Well then, thank you for the guidance, Sky Dragon!
After bowing to Rayquaza with everyone, Lorze recalled his other wives and solely rode Latias as they flew toward the villa in Ever Grande City.
The butler seemed to have been waiting in front of the villa for a long time—knowing today was the day Lorze returned to Hoenn, he was dispatched here to welcome him back.
Even though Lorze didn't show up for a long time, he still stood straight and tall in front of the villa with great professionalism.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but the sound of something like a small jet plane echoed from afar, and the young man finally gradually appeared in his line of sight.
Flipping down from the dragon sister's back, Lorze offered the butler a slightly apologetic smile.
"I'm really sorry! Some unexpected events happened on the way, so I'm late! I made you wait a long time."
"It's alright, as long as you are safe, Lord Lorze. However, because you purchased quite a few breeding materials, and the Fire-type materials can cause fires if used improperly, I will go over the precautions one by one later. Please pay close attention to them."
"Understood, then I'll trouble you with that."
Led by the butler into the courtyard he hadn't seen for a month, Lorze also released all his Pokémon again.
The kitty and the fox, who were originally playing and fighting, followed behind the group. It wasn't until Meowstic looked up slightly and revealed a surprised expression that Braixen turned around to carefully observe their surroundings.
After that, Braixen and Meowstic, who had lived in Professor Sycamore's lab or the wild for a long time, widened their eyes.
The season was right in the golden autumn of September. Deciduous trees with leaves turning from green to yellow were planted on both sides of the walkway, while the flowerbed by the fountain was the main stage for vibrant chrysanthemums.
And further inside was a Western-style mansion with white walls and red tiles that looked incredibly expensive just at a glance. In comparison, Meowstic's old haunted house was simply an eyesore!
There was even a Mr. Mime wearing a maid outfit cleaning up nearby. It was just, why did her eyes look both gratified and helpless?
Gratified because: seeing Lorze bring two new women home meant he wouldn't lay his hands on her for the time being, probably.
And helpless because: as their numbers grew, they played longer and longer, and their kinks got wilder and wilder. When it was time to clean up, that foul, musky smell of sex was simply...
But the fox and the kitty didn't pay too much attention to that. They were so shocked that their little mouths hung open, unable to speak. Their (Trash) Master actually... owned such a luxurious house (meow)!?
[Could it be that the Trash Master is a hidden billionaire!?]
[Lorze is so amazing meow...]
Mewtwo, Latias, and Gardevoir covered their mouths and chuckled lightly, clearly enjoying the reactions of their two younger sisters very much.
Lorze rubbed their two fluffy heads, one with each hand: "I wouldn't say I'm a billionaire, but I definitely don't have to worry about food and shelter. Come on, I'll show you around the yard!"
Sliding his hands down to naturally hold the fox's and the kitty's paws, Lorze led the girls around the flower garden. Their silver-bell-like laughter echoed in the courtyard, just like it was with Mewtwo and Kirlia in the very beginning.
The only downside was that even on the face of the highly professional, squinty-eyed butler, a few veins faintly bulged...
Sigh, the youth these days!
That day's dinner was cooked by Lorze, with the Pokémon helping out as assistants.
The villa's ingredient reserves were still quite abundant: not to mention the previously stocked Slowpoke Tails and Farfetch'd's Leeks, there were now also Chansey's Eggs, fresh Miltank Milk, and meat-grade Basculin imported from the Unova region. The red-striped ones had delicious meat, while the blue-striped ones had a lighter flavor.
The family at the dining table was very warm and cozy. Meowstic, in particular, was feasting on the Basculin fish meat, occasionally letting out lovely, soft "meow meow" sounds.
After enjoying a beautifully satisfying meal, there was even a fruit platter harvested from Tropius as an after-dinner dessert. This was simply... living the best life (meow)!
However, having experienced two major battles, the necessary family meeting still had to be held. After a short rest, Lorze and the Pokémon sat in a circle on the second-floor balcony, having a heart-to-heart talk under the cool night sky.
"Although we were barely able to defeat Rayquaza this time, we might encounter opponents of equal or greater strength in the future. So I was thinking: from now on, we need to undergo more systematic and effective training. Especially the fox and the kitty, you two are slightly weaker, so you should work even harder."
[No problem meow!] [Got it, Trash Master~]
"Mm! But don't put too much pressure on yourselves either. The purpose of getting stronger is so that everyone can survive the bitter battles we might face in the future. We are a family, and we can't afford to lose a single one of you! And then..."
Lorze paused for a moment.
And then what? The girls all looked at Lorze. The latter uncharacteristically scratched his flushed cheek with a finger and somewhat shyly averted his gaze.
"And then lay some eggs with you guys, or something..."
Even though his voice grew quieter until it was almost inaudible at the end, the girls still heard his words crystal clear.
As if a keyword had been triggered, the girls entirely forgot the earlier contents of the family meeting: None of that was important anymore, the key was...
To get stronger! And then fiercely lay eggs with Lorze~
