My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 270 Farewell to Alora

Tapu Lele, on the other hand, seemed not to have considered so much. She simply took a liking to Sweet Cold Beauty, who was quite capable and could exude a fragrance that she liked, and thus blindly bestowed her blessing.

After bestowing the blessing, she clapped her little hands happily, then flew around Sweet Cold Beauty twice, scattering more shimmering scales.

"Oh my god!"

Sweet and beautiful, feeling the changes happening to her body, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Although there was no outward change, some unseen changes had indeed occurred within her body.

"Um----"

Tong Hua, Riolu, Lucario, and Tipbrim, a group of people with superhuman perception, gathered together. They could all clearly sense the changes in Sweet Cold Beauty.

Just like the orchid mantis flower of Mao and the spider lily of the water lily, there is an invisible "aura" formed by a special waveguide around the sweet and cold beauty.

Although it's not as large or extensive as those two dominant Pokémon, it's at least taking shape.

"Is this what it means to have the aura of a domineering ruler?"

"Ooh—" "Bree—"

What Riolu saw and heard today broadened its horizons, a testament to its pursuit of strength.

So there are so many interesting things in this world! No wonder Pink Celebi wanted to stay in this world, and no wonder Lucario wanted to travel all over the world!

"Butterfly~"

After doing all this, Tapu Lele was in a great mood.

She let out a contented chirp, her body shimmering with iridescent light, and finally scattered a shower of shimmering scales before gracefully turning and transforming into a streak of light that flew toward the direction of the remnants of life, disappearing into the deepening night.

The Hill of Memories has returned to tranquility, leaving only a faint sweet fragrance in the air, a testament to the dreamlike encounter that just occurred.

Unexpectedly, the biggest beneficiary of this trip to Aurora was the sweet and cold Queen.

Not only did she successfully evolve from Sweetie, but she also unexpectedly gained the favor of the island's guardian deity, giving her the possibility of going even further.

"Alright, we should go now."

It's time to go home.

Tong Hua withdrew his gaze and spoke to his companions from Almia beside him.

Jessica and Feng both nodded, though they were a little reluctant, they both knew it was time to end this Alola journey.

Afterwards, the group returned to Konikor City, had a simple dinner, and then said goodbye to Mao and Shui Lian.

"You must come back to Alola again! Next time I'll take you to see other islands!" Mao waved her arms, her smile brighter than the restaurant's neon lights.

"Yes, take care." Shui Lian smiled and nodded, waving to everyone.

"Of course, thank you for your hospitality!"

Jessica and Ye sincerely thanked them, saying that their experiences over the past few days had made them fall in love with this sunny region.

After saying goodbye to the two team leaders, Tong Hua and the others walked along the coast back to the Haono Haono Resort on the east side of the island, and planned to stop by the value supermarket on Royal Avenue to buy some local specialties.

The waves gently lapped against the beach at night, while the city lights in the distance shone brightly against the starry sky.

Tong Hua and his group strolled along the beach, enjoying their last night in Alora.

"Although I only stayed for a few days, it feels like I experienced so much." Jessica walked barefoot on the cool sand, feeling the fine sand flowing between her toes.

"Yes, sunshine, beaches, battles, and Tapu Lele—" Feng said, holding Meowth, his tone tinged with nostalgia.

"It's such a vibrant and energetic place."

"I said—" Tong Hua, who was walking at the back, said to the two of them.

"If there's a next time, would you like to come again?"

Or, shall we go somewhere else together and experience different scenery?

"Of course I want to!" Jessica turned around without hesitation, her eyes sparkling in the night.

"Me too! But—" Feng smiled slyly, "Next time you have to tell me a few days in advance, you can't keep not giving girls time to prepare."

She gently brushed aside the stray hairs ruffled by the sea breeze. "At least let me prepare a few more outfits, right? Or do you just like this swimsuit?"

As Gua spoke, she pulled at her sun-protective clothing, revealing her swimsuit underneath.

Tong Hua instinctively wanted to nod, but halfway through, she suddenly realized what she was doing and quickly turned her head away: "I'll definitely do it next time!"

Seeing Tong Hua's reaction, Jessica chuckled and deliberately moved closer to Tong Hua's other side: "What about mine, Tong? Why haven't I heard you praise me at all?"

I specially chose this swimsuit for you. I was hoping to swim with you, but you disappeared yesterday by yourself—"

Flanked by two girls, Tong Hua was caught off guard.

"Terrible!" "Oh my!"

Chinchilla and Sweetie immediately came to the rescue, but their efforts only made things worse.

Ultimately, before heading to the value supermarket, Tong Hua was forced to accompany her two travel companions to swim on a deserted beach at night and even play beach volleyball.

"So—why did it end up like this—?"

Half an hour later, Tong Hua lay on the beach, looking utterly hopeless, covered in sand. Beside him were Jessica and Gua, who were also panting but smiling broadly.

"Because I'm so happy!" Jessica wiped the water droplets from her face, her eyes sparkling. "Who told you to call us out, only to always go about your own business!"

Feng gracefully twirled the seawater from her hair, a mischievous smile playing on her lips: "And someone's reaction is quite amusing. They usually seem pretty reliable, but they always make a lot of fun when they're being teased."

"Bri~" Tibrim nodded in agreement, finding Tong Hua's reaction amusing as well.

"It's your own fault for always disobeying your master. You deserve to be taught a lesson. There's always someone to counteract someone else!"

Tong Hua sat up helplessly, looking at the shimmering sea and her companions' smiling faces, and the helplessness in her heart vanished. Indeed, such a lively ending seemed quite good.

"Alright, alright," he clapped his hands and stood up, "the discount store is closing soon, didn't you want to buy some local specialties?"

"Ah! I almost forgot!" Jessica exclaimed, quickly pulling Nagi up. "Quick, let's go!"

Finally, just before the supermarket closed, the three of them managed to rush inside and, amidst the reminder from the clerk Shengyang that "we're about to close," they conducted an efficient yet frantic shopping spree.

Jessica bought a whole bunch of Alora-style woven crafts and sparkly trinkets, while Feng focused on various local fruits and spices, saying he wanted to go back and figure out how to cook them with fish.

Tong Hua, on the other hand, was more pragmatic. He supplemented the supply with some basic materials that could be bought here, and also bought gifts for each of the Pokémon in the ranch.

"The seeds for Torterra, the metal membrane for Worm, and the Alolan Pokémon Beans for Alcremie —"

As Tong Hua counted the items in her shopping basket, she muttered to herself to make sure nothing was missed.

Sheng Yang looked at the three customers who rushed in at the last minute before closing time, smiled helplessly, but still patiently helped them pay their bill.

"Welcome to visit us again!" Sheng Yang handed the packaged goods to the three of them and smiled as he watched them leave.

As they walked out of the value supermarket, the three of them, carrying large and small bags, smiled at each other.

Back at the Haonohaono Resort, night had fallen. Tong Hua and his group arrived at the entrance of the Phantom Hotel to bid a final farewell to Lucario and his companions.

"Are you really not coming back with us? You could at least show your face here occasionally."

Even the electric dragons that return to that world are sometimes brought back by the pink Celebi.

"Ooh."

Lucario shook his head, his gaze fixed firmly on the calm sea in the distance.

"Our fairy tale travel group's journey is not over yet. One day, I will return to the land of Almia with them, who have redeemed their sins, carrying the footprints and experiences we have seen and heard all over the world."

The Night Demon nodded slightly, his single eye gleaming in the darkness: "There will be a day when we meet again."

"Whoa!"

"Alright," Tong Hua nodded in understanding one last time, then turned around and knocked on the door of the Phantom Hotel.

After a long while, the door disappeared.
