My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 238 A Sweet Home

"Terrifying!"

As Tong Hua and the others walked home, the kitchen of Happiness Dessert Shop was as lively as ever.

"Ouch!"

Three Alcremie fairies—Red Diamond, Caramel, and Tricolor—are arguing over a cake decorating scheme, and even with the help of the Foam Chipmunk mediator, the dispute is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon.

After all, if it's just a regular cake sold in a store, there's no need to argue. You can just decorate it however you want.

But this cake is not just a simple dessert sold to customers in the store! It is a banquet cake specially made to welcome Tong Hua, Riolu and the forest lizard home!

"Ouch!"

Being able to decorate a cake with such special meaning is a supreme right for the Creamy Fairies!

Red Diamond insisted on using its signature strawberry cream rose decoration, Caramel advocated for creating gorgeous golden patterns with caramel strands, and Three Colors believed that three flavors of cream should be used to create a rainbow swirl.

Foam Chipmunk frantically ran back and forth between them, trying to persuade them, but the three Alcremie fairies each stuck to their own opinions and none of them were willing to give in.

"Oh my!" "Chirp chirp!" "Fou!"

Seeing this, Sweetie, Messenger, and Orion from the kitchen also gathered around, each pulling over an Alcremie to begin their lectures.

"Aren't you best friends?"

"Tell me what's wrong."

"Don't rush, take your time."

In short, we're all family, so let's not hurt our harmony!

"Ouch—"

With the patient persuasion of their friends, the three Alcremie fairies finally calmed down. They looked at each other and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Red Diamond was the first to reach out her little hand and gently touch Caramel and Tricolor. Caramel immediately reached out in response, and Tricolor joined in as well. The three adorable little ones formed a circle and began to discuss the cake decorating plan again.

"Hoo—shivering."

Seeing the three Alcremie fairies reconcile, Bubble Squirrel finally felt relieved.

As one of the initial members of Fairy Tale Ranch, he wanted to manage such a large family even when Tong Hua was not around.

Unlike that guy, the forest tortoise, whose mind is only on farming and who doesn't care about his family at all!

"Trembling?"

Speaking of which, what about Pickpocket Cat and Celebi?

Did you run home again to laze around and watch TV?

Foam Chipmunk stood with her hands on her hips, puffing out her cheeks, determined to give Tong Hua a good scolding when she got back. But right now, the most important thing was to finish preparing for the party.

This is very important work! After all, it's also a rehearsal for Tong Hua's birthday party in two weeks!

The foam squirrel took a deep breath and rallied its spirits.

After friendly negotiations, the three Alcremie fairy tales finally reached a perfect solution.

"Eeyo!" The three Alcremie fairies clapped happily and immediately got back to work. This time, they worked together seamlessly, their movements fluid, as if their previous argument had never happened.

Sweetie carefully selects the freshest tree fruits, messenger birds busily transport various materials, and Orion helps out while using aromatherapy to fill the entire kitchen with a pleasant atmosphere. Everyone is contributing their share to the same goal.

Foam Squirrel stood on a small stool, carefully inspecting every detail. From the table setting to the hanging ribbons, from the placement of snacks to the preparation of drinks, he wanted to ensure everything was perfect.

"Terrifying!"

Suddenly, the foam squirrel pricked up its ears. It heard familiar footsteps coming from afar outside the dessert shop!

"Tear!" Foam Squirrel jumped off the bench excitedly and waved to the other Pokémon.

The Pokémon in the kitchen immediately sprang into action, with three Alcremie quickly completing the final decorations on the cake.

"Oh my!" After making sure everything was ready, Sweetie and Orion held hands and hid in a corner of the dessert shop.

"Chirp chirp!" The Delibird joined them, quietly hiding in a corner of the room. Several Pokémon huddled together, letting out strange laughs of excitement.

"Pfft—Chirp chirp chirp—"

The foam squirrel quickly made a "shh" gesture to them and found a secluded corner to hide itself.

The entire dessert shop instantly fell silent, with only the cream decorations on the cakes shimmering under the lights.

The footsteps grew closer, and the sounds of Tong Hua and her friends laughing and talking could be clearly heard.

The Pokémon hiding in the corner exchanged nervous and expectant glances, and the Foam Squirrel could even hear its own heart pounding.

"Eeyo!" The three Cream Fairies also quietly hid behind the counter, their little hands tightly clasped together, hoping to give Tong Hua a surprise!

Outside, Tong Hua and Mu Mu and the others arrived at the ranch entrance, chatting and laughing.

"Wow—Junior brother! Your house is so luxurious!"

-

Hearing Mu Mu say that, Tong Hua smiled and corrected him, "Senior brother, you've got it wrong. This isn't my home; it's just a shop on the ranch."

"But it feels a bit different from when I came last time."

Ritsumi, standing to the side, also looked at the completely renovated Happiness Dessert Shop in surprise. The last time she came, the shop was just a small platform outside. Now, the entire wooden house has been turned into a shop.

"Yes, we just finished building our new house last month, so we're using this whole area as a shop."

I was actually thinking of renovating it further, turning it into a high-end coffee shop or bakery style.

"That's really exciting!"

Huang Yao nodded in agreement: "Mr. Tong Hua can definitely do it. I'm really looking forward to what kind of snacks we'll get to eat later!"

Tong Hua smiled and pushed open the door of the dessert shop: "Come on in and have a seat, I'll treat you to my best dish—"

His words trailed off as he stared in astonishment at the empty shop. A beautifully decorated three-tiered cake sat on the table, ribbons and balloons adorning every corner, but the Pokémon were nowhere to be seen.

The aura detection indicated that there were at least seven Pokémon inside the house.

"What is this—" Tong Hua looked around in confusion.

Just then, joyful shouts suddenly erupted from all corners!

"Surprise! Welcome home!"

Foam Chipmunk was the first to jump out from behind the counter, followed by Alcremie, Slimie, Orion, and Delibird.

"Meow!"

Even the pickpocket cat suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and all the Pokémon happily surrounded Tong Hua.

"This...this!" Tong Hua's eyes were filled with disbelief!

"You guys really made the cake yourselves?!"

"Trembling!" Foam Squirrel nodded proudly first, only to be slapped on the head by Sweet Wuni next to it.

"Oh my!" Sweetie put her hands on her hips and pointed to the three Alcremie behind her, indicating that Bubble Squirrel shouldn't take all the credit.

"Ouch!"

Red Diamond, Caramel, and Tricolor immediately crowded in front of Tong Hua, vying to point to their respective parts of the cake, their little faces filled with "Praise me!"

Tong Hua walked to the dining table and carefully examined the beautiful three-tiered cake.

I had joked before that I would have Pokémon make desserts for me so that I would have time to study alchemy.

Unexpectedly, that joke has now come true!

Tong Hua knelt down and gently stroked the little heads of each Pokémon, her voice choked with emotion: "Thank you!"

I'm back!"
