My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 161 Going Home

Of all the times Tong Hua has ridden the Muke Eagle these past two days, this must be the happiest one.

Professor Shinhara and Chairwoman Shinobu originally wanted to persuade everyone to stay, especially Riolu and Lucario.

But Riolu insisted on staying with Ampharos and Pink Celebi, and Lucario also wanted to visit Fairy Tale Ranch before traveling around the world.

So, Seven and Hefu, the two chiefs who had just finished their stability maintenance mission, transformed into Tong Hua's flying taxi and took them to the Fairy Tale Ranch.

According to the original plan, today should have been the day Tong Hua and his group returned home.

If it weren't for the Dark Team incident, the Harbor Town Dessert Competition would have ended today.

However, it is said that the competition has been postponed, and Tong Hua naturally intends to participate in the next competition.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Tong Hua saw Dianlong sitting on another Starhawk, waving at him and saying something.

So he used the power of waveguides to establish a telepathic connection with the electric dragon.

"Tong Huajun, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."

But before that—Tong Huajun, how much do you know about our world right now?

Hearing this, Tong Hua was a little surprised and answered without much thought.

"Uh—I guess I'd say I understand it thoroughly."

Tong Hua recalled the incredible maze games he played on Earth. He had completed Sky Exploration Team and Super Incredible Maze several times.

They have an intimate knowledge of all the game's mechanics and storyline.

"I see. Then I'd like to ask about Dark Dialga."

During this time, I have come into contact with a lot of knowledge about this world and discovered that there seems to be a Pokémon called Arceus?

You seem to call it the creator god, and it's said that it created Dialga, the god of time?

"Yes, that's right," Tong Hua replied affirmatively.

"Does this Pokémon also exist in our world?"

If it does, why doesn't it stop Dark Dialga?

Tong Hua remained silent for a moment, then found the answer in her own memory.

"It seems so, but it has never appeared."

On the continent of grass, there is a mysterious labyrinth called the Tower of Destiny, and at the top of the tower stands a statue of Arceus.

Apart from that, there should be no other trace of Arceus's existence.

Speaking of the Tower of Destiny, it was truly an unforgettable experience for Tong Hua.

As the ultimate challenge in the Sky Explorers game, the 99-floor maze and the rule that it can only be challenged by one person made it take him a long time to finally clear it.

"Tower of Fate - Statue of Arceus -" the electric dragon repeated thoughtfully.

"I understand. Once we get back, I'll have the investigation team investigate this matter."

"So you still want to go back, right?"

That's right, after all, that world is still waiting for you to save it—"

Tong Hua's voice, transmitted through the waveguide, carried a hint of barely perceptible reluctance. Although their time together was short, he had already come to regard Ampharos, Riolu, and Pink Celebi as important partners.

This parting may well be the last time we meet—

Electric Dragon keenly sensed Tong Hua's emotions and responded gently, "We will definitely meet again."

Once we find the Forest Lizard and once Celebi regains his power, we'll go back and save our own future.

Just like what you did today, Tong Huajun, dispelling the darkness and bringing back the light.

As the sun set, the group finally flew over Chicory Village.

The massive power outages and riots in the northern region had absolutely no impact on this ordinary little village.

Everything remained as it was before Tong Hua and the others left, peaceful and serene.

The fairytale ranch can be seen now, just a short distance ahead.

Tong Hua could even see from the sky that A Chu was lying on the grassland sunbathing with the other three big milk tanks, as well as Salt Stone Treasure and Tuo Tuo Earthworm.

"Miru~" "Knock knock~" "Womer~"

Salt Stone Treasure was held in A Chu's arms, and after licking it every now and then, it was given to Xiao You, A Pu, and Xiao Ban to take turns holding and licking.

The worm somehow acquired a pile of sand, piled it on itself, and buried itself in the small sand dune, looking quite comfortable.

"Game—"

The wood turtles by the field were also soaking in the irrigation ditch, seemingly resting as well.

"Buzzing".

Several bees flew among the bushes on his back, collecting unique nectar.

Looking further into the distance, Tong Hua could still see her new home under construction. The foremen seemed to be packing up to leave as it was time to wrap up.

Even the big-tailed raccoon family from the ranch brazenly joined the construction team and helped with the building.

"Everyone looks so relaxed." Tong Hua looked at the tranquil scene below, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her face. After the tense adventures of the past few days, this ordinary daily life seemed especially precious.

"It's really enviable," Seven couldn't help but praise, standing in front of Tong Hua.

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a vibrant ranch."

"Me too." Crane Fu slowly flew closer from the other side. "This kind of rural life must be wonderful."

"When I retire, I want to live in a place like this too," He Fu said, giving Seven a wink.

"Yes, yes—"

Staraptor began to descend, and the sound of its flapping wings attracted the attention of the Pokémon on the ranch.

Achu was the first to raise her head, and the big milk tanks followed suit. Salt Stone Treasure poked its head out from Xiaoyou's arms, and Tuotuo Earthworm also crawled out of the sand dune, curiously looking up at the sky.

As Staraptor landed smoothly on the soft grass, the Pokémon in the ranch immediately gathered around, letting out joyful cries.

"Everyone, we're back!" Tong Hua jumped off the back of the Mk Eagle and happily opened her arms.

"Miru!" "Koukou!" "Womer!"

The crowd on the grass immediately surrounded her, trying their best to charm Tong Hua.

"Hehe." Tong Hua smiled and then used her wave guide power to communicate with everyone one by one.

After discovering that Tong Hua could actually understand what they were saying, the Pokémon became extremely excited!

Just like yesterday's foam squirrel and pickpocket cat, they all clung to Tong Hua and started chattering away.

"Don't rush, don't rush! One by one!"

Tong Hua was surrounded by enthusiastic crowds, his ears filled with all sorts of excited shouts, which made him a little overwhelmed, but his face was beaming with a happy smile.

"Game!" Even the forest tortoise in the distance, carrying several three-necked bees, ran over quickly.

=====

After a while, as night fell, the streetlights in the ranch automatically turned on.

The Pokémon on the ranch sat around the open-air restaurant, quietly waiting for dinner to be served.

Taking this opportunity, Bubble Squirrel, Sweetie, Messenger Bird, and Electric Dragon told the curious people who stayed on the ranch about their experiences over the past few days.

"Terrifying! Terrifying!"

The foam squirrel told the story with great enthusiasm, and the Pokémon listened with rapt attention, sometimes exclaiming in surprise, sometimes holding their breath in tension.

When they heard about Tong Hua, Bubble Squirrel, and Caterpillar's thrilling final leap, all the Pokémon couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"—Finally, we succeeded! The Crystal of Light was restored, and Almia was saved!" the Bubble Squirrel concluded, his face beaming with pride.

"Game!" "Buzz!" "Sizzle!"

The Pokémon looked at Bubble Squirrel and Caterpillar with adoration.

"Dinner's ready!"

Wearing an apron, Tong Hua brought out many delicious dishes from the kitchen. Tonight, they were going to have a big party, and there were many things worth celebrating together.

Tong Hua had originally planned to have Seven, He Fu, and the foreman join them for dinner. However, everyone had their own lives and things to do, so the ranch members celebrated by themselves.

"Mouswoo."

While eating, the electric dragon introduced the animals to everyone: "This Riolu is Tong Hua from another world, and that older sister is a living fossil who has been sleeping for a thousand years."

"Ooh—"

Lucario tapped Ampharos on the forehead, saying that calling it a living fossil was indeed a bit impolite.

Calling her "big sister" is enough.

"Alright, alright, everyone, let's eat. I made all your favorite dishes today."

Riolu, Lucario, you two should try some too.

"Ooh!"

Riolu curiously approached a plate of golden-looking, enticingly fragrant honey pancakes, took a cautious bite, and its eyes instantly lit up as it happily wagged its tail.

Lucario, on the other hand, appeared more composed. She elegantly picked up a piece of berry salad sandwich, savored it carefully, and then a hint of surprise and appreciation flashed in her ruby-like eyes as she nodded slightly to Tong Hua.

"I'm glad you like it!"

Tong Hua took off her apron and sat down, looking at the lively scene before her, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

Now, finally, I can briefly return to my daily routine—
