What follows is a daily storyline about building a bond, where she personally prepares food for these dozens of Pokémon and nurtures their relationship at the same time.

Even if the Mega Bracelet I own doesn't require Bond Points...

She was exhausted after a long day. She had no intention of registering these Pokémon; she was just temporarily storing them at Pokémon Resort Island.

In the evening

She recalled the Pokémon, but there are three special Pokémon here.

Rippling water, thunderous drums, and flames piercing the air...

Among the three Pokémon, Flareon is vaguely considered to be the leader.

After bringing Flareon back to the Rainbow Foundation, she released the three Pokémon, allowing them to live temporarily in the Pokémon Ecosystem.

Po Kongyan leaped down from the rocks in the artificial mountain area ahead and arrived at Hua Ling's side in a few steps, calmly gazing at her.

"You can't go out right now... The freedom I promised you will have to wait a while longer."

Hua Ling tried to reach out and stroke the other, and Po Kong Yan did not show any obvious rejection but instead lay down beside her.

"Wow... this is really..."

She was a little surprised, but since the other person had come close to her, Hua Ling didn't stand on ceremony and leaned in as well.

The next day

Hua Ling discovered something interesting while refreshing her daily items.

[Mega Stone Storage Box]

[Description: This device can store Mega Stones you already own, allowing Pokémon to Mega Evolve without using up Pokémon Items]

"I was planning to equip each Pokémon with a Mega Stone, but it seems I don't need to now."

Hua Ling examined the box in her hand that could be opened, closed it, and put it back in her pocket.

The internet in the Kanto region has been very active lately, with everyone hoping that Team Rocket will be eliminated as soon as possible.

However, ever since Ho-Oh became Gold's Pokémon, Team Rocket's appearances have become less and less frequent, and now they seem to have completely disappeared.

The internet is now full of confident comments, who believe that the Rockets are absolutely afraid of the united trainers.

However, the reality is not so.

Trainers in the Pokémon League only need to fight when Team Rocket appears, while Team Rocket has many more things to consider...

We must not only consider which city will become the battlefield, but also how to maximize our gains...

And in which city would it be easiest to damage the rival company's industries if a battle took place?

Ultimately, they chose Golden City...

The various prominent families in the Kanto region, the largest commercial city on the coast, not only have businesses in this city.

There are also merchants from other regions who come here to open shops and trade, and even a Pokémon trading guild.

As long as we can focus our efforts on cracking down on this city

The Kanto region will be in a slump for a long time, and this period is the best opportunity for the Rainbow Foundation to take over.

But...too many casualties are not something they want to see.

Ultimately, they decided to deploy some elite team members near Goldenrod City and leak information about their upcoming operations in the city.

At the same time, prepare the city's residents and the Pokémon League.

at dusk

Manjin City

In a restaurant

"..."

Lillie rested her chin on her hands, seemingly distracted even with her favorite flavored cake in front of her.

"Oh dear, that child was just joking. Lillie, you don't need to take it so seriously."

Lusamine pinched her silly daughter's cheek and said with a bit of a laugh.

However, she quickly revealed a hint of mockery on her face and sat down next to her daughter, quietly moving closer.

"But, Lillie, if you really care..."

I could also talk to Hua Ling's father~ Maybe it really will come true then~ Hehehe~

The other party told her about the time her daughter met with Hua Ling after she returned.

But she really didn't expect that her daughter would remember those few words for so long—even though both of them knew it was just a joke.

"Mother......"

Lillie looked over, and her expression turned displeased as she faced this mother who liked to make fun of her daughter.

"If you say that again, I won't talk to you anymore."

"Ugh... Lillie's so mean! How could she treat Mom like that?! Waaaaah!"

Lusamine covered her face and made whimpering sounds, but you could see her smiling eyes through her fingers.

"...Just kidding, it's an arranged marriage."

Lillie scooped a spoonful of cake into her mouth and savored the taste of the dessert.

At the same time, she was also thinking about what her mother, Lusamine, and Hualing had said.

"Don't worry~"

Lusamine's voice came from ahead. Lillie looked over and saw the other person gazing at her tenderly with a smile on her lips.

"Our Ether Foundation doesn't need to arrange marriages with anyone. You all have the right to pursue your own happiness, but you'll have to be approved by Mom first."

"Mommy~"

Lillie blushed at her mother's words.

"Hmph~ You wait here for a bit~ I'll go get some other food~"

"Hmm~"

Lillie's gaze followed her mother's movements, and then her eyes widened when she saw the two people enter the restaurant.

"Hurry up, Hua Ling!!"

"You can't run around indoors, Alice."

P.S.: Sigh... If only I could be a smart egg, then there wouldn't be so many problems.

Volume 1: Chapter 196 Well, that's all for now!

The two sat down in an empty seat.

"Hmm... let me see what delicious food we have here~"

Alice held the menu in her hand, her face beaming with excitement. She was in a great mood, not only because of her anticipation for the food.

There is another reason

This was the first time Hua Ling had asked her out since she returned to Yanmo City and the other party returned to the Rainbow Foundation.

The Rockets have been behaving much better lately, and security in various cities has gradually eased, so she went out to relax.

"But... why did you suddenly invite me out, Miss?"

Alice looked at Hua Ling in front of her with a smile.

"Hmm... it's nothing serious~ It's just that we haven't had a chance to get together properly since we split up in the Unova region, so I thought of you when we were forming teams this time. I've already informed the Inkstone Gym~"

Hua Ling answered the question while resting her chin on her hand.

Since that meeting, security has been tightened in various cities, and trainers who responded to the call have formed small teams to carry out their missions.

Alice is the only person in the entire Kanto region of this world who is even slightly of her concern.

She also invited the other person to team up with her, so that she could protect the other person a little and prevent them from being kicked around like a stray dog.

When the food arrived

"I'm starting to eat—!!"

Alice clasped her hands together and then began to eat heartily, not caring about her image.

"You're more like a child than I am!"

Hua Ling smiled and then began to enjoy her meal.

But because of her image, she has always maintained elegance and poise.

And not far away

A figure was secretly watching this side.

"Um......"

Lillie used the menu to cover her face, revealing only her eyes as she looked at a table not far away.

Although they were a little distance apart, she could still hear their conversation, so she watched from the side.

"Wow! Hua Ling! This is so delicious! Come and have one!"

The somewhat dark-skinned girl said this, sharing some of her food with the girl.

"Hey... well, you should try mine too."

Hua Ling nodded and shared some of her own portion with them.

A feeling of unhappiness welled up inside me...

"Bad guy..."

Lillie stared at the other person's profile, and pouted somewhat unhappily.

Because she had few friends and was somewhat afraid of Pokémon, she always felt out of place among her peers.

This has made her somewhat sensitive; even a few words can make her think about many things and then overthink.

Just a couple of days ago they were talking about arranged marriages and proposals, and now, only a short time later, they're already out having meals with other people and feeding each other.

It's like meeting a friend who calls you a "best friend," and then the next day you see that she's having dinner with her classmates without inviting you...

This inexplicable sense of loss...

Even though they weren't even friends...

But even so...

“Resentment…resentment…resentment…”

Lillie muttered to herself.

While eating, Hua Ling felt the gazes of others. At first, she thought they were just ordinary passersby staring at her.

After all, this kind of thing happened frequently since she became somewhat famous, but after a while she felt that the gaze was getting more and more strange.

"......Um?"

Hua Ling turned around with some confusion, and then met a pair of eyes that were somewhat resentful.

"...?!"

The owner of those eyes widened his eyes suddenly after their gazes met.

He picked up the menu and completely covered his face, pretending to be a passerby.

However, given their shared experience of sleeping together, Hua Ling immediately recognized the person in the white dress and with her dazzling blonde hair.

"Huh... Lillie, why are you looking at me like that?"

Hua Ling felt a little confused, but the other party's flustered appearance was indeed interesting, and she thought of a possibility.

"Could it be... that you still remember what you said that day? Hehe~ What an adorable child~"
