My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 242 The Doting Siblings

Welcome!

"Phantom Hotel".

At the entrance of the hotel, two purple Pokémon gracefully bowed to Tong Hua and his group.

They were a male and female guardian spirit who communicated with Tong Hua through telepathy and behaved with great courtesy.

The male steward stepped forward, his antennae pointing upwards, his eyes half-open and half-closed, his face expressionless, like an experienced, mature and steady old steward.

"Please allow me, Butler, to serve you."

He bowed slightly and made an elegant "please" gesture.

The female attendant stood quietly to one side, her antennae pointing downwards, a smile on her face, radiating a gentle aura.

"I'm Lanny, a childcare worker, and I'm happy to serve you."

Lanny's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze. She gently waved her front paws, and a few candies with a faint fruity aroma floated to Tibrim and Chinchilla.

"We are the Love Guardian Brothers and Sisters, and your joy and gratitude are our greatest motivation."

Chinchilla and Tibrimon took the candy, sniffed it curiously, and took a small bite. Their eyes lit up immediately.

"Terrible!" "Bree!"

The delicious chocolate melts in your mouth, turning into a warm current that flows into your body.

Just as the two Pokémon were enjoying the sweet taste, from Tong Hua's perspective, a tangible energy was emanating from them and flying towards the tentacles of the two Constables.

"Is this... a waveguide that has absorbed joy and transformed it into food?"

So the word "motivation" she mentioned earlier meant the literal meaning of the word —

Welcomed by butler Butler and childcare worker Lanny, Tong Hua and her group entered the "Phantom Hotel".

The interior of the hotel is even more luxurious and elegant than its exterior.

The moment you step through the gate, it feels like you've entered another time and space, with soft, solid Persian soil beneath your feet—

The carpet, with its intricate and beautiful patterns, stretched forward and covered the entire spacious foyer.

The walls on both sides are paneled with dark mahogany, polished to a mirror shine, reflecting the huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

The air was filled with a pleasant, complex fragrance, like a blend of aged books, polished leather, and a cool, elegant scent, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

On either side of the foyer are several high-backed velvet sofas and low tables that look incredibly comfortable, seemingly for guests to take a break.

Directly opposite the main entrance is a wide staircase covered with a scarlet carpet, winding its way upstairs.

"Whoosh—" The two Celebi looked around curiously. The decorations of this inn were more luxurious than the hot spring inns they had stayed at before, as well as the hotels in Port Town.

"Bri-ri—" Tibrim temporarily forgot her unease, turning her little head back and forth, taking in the magnificent sight, and even the sweetness of the chocolate in her mouth seemed to become more intense.

Lani, the two older sisters who loved to manage the affairs of the court, smiled as she watched Tong Hua and the others' reactions and introduced them softly.

"Phantom Hotel is committed to providing every guest with a tranquil and welcoming experience. The décor changes constantly based on the location where the hotel is located, which is where you are before you arrive, in order to make you feel comfortable."

"It changes depending on where the hotel appears?" Tong Hua keenly grasped the key point in Ai Guanshi's words, and his eyes sharpened involuntarily.

"What do you mean? Does this hotel move around?"

"Yes."

Butler, the butler, stood meticulously to the side and added, "The hotel is currently in its trial operation phase and is, in principle, only open to certain invited guests."

Although Mr. Tong Hua was not on the invitation list, you happened to visit us a few days ago. I think this probably explains why you have such a special connection with our hotel.

Upon hearing this, Tong Hua touched his chin and instantly realized that this must be referring to the night of the test of courage.

"That old school building?"

"Yes." Butler nodded, referring to his two brothers who were fond of managing the court.

"Originally, our hotel would only appear at the time and place specified by the guest after they made a reservation."

So to this day, we still don't know why you came into our hotel that night, or why the hotel ended up like that.

"is that so----"

After listening to the explanation from Ai Guanshi and his sister, Tong Hua gained a general understanding of the current situation.

Fortunately, he has experienced a lot, so he can accept such small scenes as naturally as breathing.

Led by the two loyal servants, Tong Hua and his group arrived at the hotel reception.

The reception area maintains the same luxurious feel as the lobby, but is even more refined.

A huge cabinet made of dark walnut wood stands there like a work of art, its surface as smooth as a mirror and its edges carved with intricate vine and flower patterns.

Behind the counter was a wall of shelves, each shelf displaying what appeared to be antique ornaments or heavy books. Tong Hua curiously picked up a book and discovered that it wasn't an empty shell, but a real, readable book.

A vintage brass telephone sits quietly in a corner of the counter, next to an open register written in beautiful cursive script.

Please register your name, departure location, and time here.

So that after our visit, we can safely return you to the moment you set off.

Tong Hua stepped forward as instructed, her gaze falling on the open register. The paper was thick and slightly yellowed, the ink was dark blue, and the cursive script was elegant and clear.

Following the instructions of the attendant, Tong Hua planned to fill out some information. Before doing so, he secretly peeked at the records left by the previous guests.

The regions recorded in the "Registered Region" column can be said to encompass almost all regions in the Pokémon world that Tong Hua knows.

There was even a group of guests who registered from the "Xicui area"!

It's important to know that "Xicui" is the ancient name for "Sinnoh"! And their registration date was indeed more than 1000 years ago.

"To send the guest back to the starting point?"

Tong Hua picked up a quill pen with an antique design and wrote down her information and arrival time as prompted, while asking a question thoughtfully.

"Does this mean that no matter how long we stay here, when we return to the ranch, time in the outside world will hardly have passed?"

"That's exactly right."

Butler, the butler, replied affirmatively, "The Phantom Hotel operates outside the regular flow of time, which is one of the most basic services we can offer our invited guests to ensure that your journey does not disrupt your original life trajectory."

"I see, what a magical place!"

"Bree—" "La wow—"

Tibrim and the two Celebis were also amazed by the descriptions given by the servants.

Especially the two Celebi, as professionals in time travel, they know exactly how difficult it is to travel through time!

And now someone actually claims that an entire hotel, along with all the people, things, and events within it, can travel through time?

It can even change its style on its own, perfectly blending into the local environment.

Even the little witch Tibrim couldn't help but widen her eyes. Her Wanda family had spent countless years researching spatial magic, yet they had never even touched upon the level of time travel—

At most, it would only be able to instantly shift the location of the entire continent, and even that would require the power of the Reggie family, a clan secret passed down through generations.
