Chapter 138:
The cool breeze blew past, but Hayashi Kaede didn't feel cold. However, watching Ryō Fū walk away, the two Indeedee following him shivered.
Hayashi Kaede noticed this and immediately said, "Come inside first. It might be a bit chilly out here."
The two Indeedee reluctantly followed Hayashi Kaede through the Breeding House.
However, upon entering, the first to notice them were the Alcremie still on the counter.
They looked curiously at the Indeedee following behind Hayashi Kaede.
"Alcremie?" (Are these new companions?)
"Yes, these are our future helpers."
The moment Hayashi Kaede brought the Indeedee in, he immediately affirmed their presence.
"Huh?"
The older Indeedee following behind was stunned by these words.
He hadn't even started helping the new Trainer with anything yet, and he was already receiving such a friendly evaluation?
Did he trust them that much?
"Vulpix~?"
Alolan Vulpix emerged from the backyard right on time, still wondering why Hayashi Kaede hadn't arrived at the plantation yet. Upon entering, it noticed two more Pokémon behind Hayashi Kaede.
They didn't look particularly large.
Considering Hayashi Kaede's recent mumblings about Pokémon that might arrive someday and be of great help, vulpix realised that they seemed to be the ones mentioned.
Alolan Vulpix, once again displaying its social butterfly nature, ran straight to the Indeedee. After a brief hesitation, it settled on the younger Indeedee, patting its white fluff with its paw.
"Vulpix?"
"Indeedee ~"
The younger Indeedee glanced at Hayashi Kaede, a look of joy and tenderness in her eyes. She crouched down slightly and, to Alolan Vulpix's somewhat surprised expression, picked it up.
"Indeedee ~"
The younger Indeedee noticed that while Alolan Vulpix was a bit large, it wasn't nearly as old as she was.
It was estimated to be only about two months old.
So, the younger sister Indeedee subconsciously picked up the Alolan Vulpix that had come close to her and comforted it using the method she had learned from her mother.
In fact, it wasn't just this Alolan Vulpix; even the Alcremie over there were like babies in her eyes.
This made her a little happy.
Because the more babies there were, the more things she could do.
The older brother Indeedee looked around the environment. When he saw the somewhat messy counters and the dirty countertops, he suddenly felt a uncomfortable.
He wanted to clean this place up.
However, the Alolan Vulpix being held like this seemed a bit helpless.
"Vulpix , Vulpix ..."
It always felt like it was being held like a child.
But...
it seemed quite comfortable to be held like this.
So, it didn't struggle to get down.
Instead, it looked curiously at the younger sister Indeedee holding it. "Vulpix?" (Can you help Hayashi Kaede with a lot of things? It seems he's been very busy lately and hasn't had much time to spend with us.)
The younger Indeedee was stunned for a moment, not expecting the Alolan Vulpix in her arms to speak first.
But she quickly recovered and said, "Indeedee ~" (Yeah, I'll help him with what I can, like taking care of you.)
Although they had only been together for a short time, as an emotion-sensitive Pokémon, she could sense that the emotions in this Breeding House were mostly positive.
She remembered that before they set off, her brother had told her that they would test the new Trainer.
If the new Trainer was no good, they would sneak away and not serve him.
But now it seemed that the new Trainer was quite good.
Alolan Vulpix pouted, "Vulpix ..." (I can take care of myself, but I'm too useless to help Hayashi Kaede.)
The younger sister Indeedee's smile softened even more, "Indeedee ~" (It's okay, my brother is very skilled at this kind of thing, and he can help the Trainer a lot.)
She turned to look at her brother Indeedee beside Hayashi Kaede, "Indeedee ~?" (Right, brother?)
The brother Indeedee also looked over, but with a serious attitude, "Indeedee !" (Yes, but, sister, don't forget our agreement.)
"Indeedee ~" (I know, I know.)
The younger sister Indeedee nodded to her brother Indeedee , then looked at the Alcremie with excitement.
What kind of Pokémon are these? They look so cute...
Hayashi Kaede, standing aside watching the two Indeedee having a "private conversation," couldn't help but ask, "What are you two talking about?" An agreement? Why hadn't Ryō Fū told him about this?
What kind of agreement did the two Indeedee have?
The older brother Indeedee said seriously, "Indeedee !" (I just want to ask what our main mission here is, which is to work.)
"Is that so..." Hayashi Kaede smiled. "No rush. Come with me, I'll show you around the plantation."
"Indeedee ?"
The two Indeedee exchanged a glance, then followed Hayashi Kaede towards the plantation.
Once out the back door, their eyes widened.
Upon entering, they saw two Berry trees planted at the backyard entrance. Then, crisscrossing paths connected the various vegetable plots.
In the center, a shimmering reservoir.
Within, a faint ripple of beautiful color could be seen.
With a splash of water, a magnificent Pokémon suddenly emerged from the water.
It was the Milotic in the reservoir.
Around the Berry and vegetable plots, another turquoise-hued Pokémon was performing a move.
Under its care, the plants throughout the plantation glowed with a vibrant green light, appearing incredibly lush.
In the sky, a pink butterfly saw Hayashi Kaede coming and began to spread its scales.
Under the sunlight, the scales sparkled.
Such a beautiful sight made the younger sister Combee unable to look away. She was completely stunned...
