"Apple pie~ Delicious apple pie~ Apple pie is so yummy~ La la la~"
Latias hummed a tune in her heart that represented her current mood while enjoying the apple pie.
The original flavor was full of delicious apple aroma, the caramel one was sweet, and the creamy one was full of sweet milky fragrance.
Various flavors perfectly blended with the apple filling, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, offering a rich texture.
These apple pies were simply the best food in the world!
Chew chew chew~
Latias's cheeks were puffed out from eating, looking like a little hamster.
Latios's eating wasn't as exaggerated; he kept an eye on his sister while eating his apple pie.
Just then, both Pokémon paused their movements.
They turned their heads, slightly puzzled, looking towards Kawaki's pocket.
Why was there such a special yet familiar fluctuation coming from there?
Seeing the two Pokémon's actions, Kawaki was slightly startled, then realized they had probably sensed the aura of the Soul Dew!
So, Kawaki took out the newly acquired Soul Dew from his pocket, opened his palm, and showed it to the two Pokémon.
"Are you looking for this?"
A legendary item—this was the first time he had encountered an item of this level. Just from the description, he knew it was extraordinary.
As expected, the moment they saw the Soul Dew, Latios and Latias showed surprised expressions.
That was—
Every Latias and Latios knew that after their passing, they would transform into a jewel.
That was the crystallization of their life.
And such an item would usually be given by the deceased Latias and Latios to those they recognized, in the form of a jewel, to continue protecting them.
Whether human or Pokémon.
Had this human named Kawaki received the recognition and protection of a Latias or Latios?
Instantly, the two Pokémon looked at Kawaki with different eyes.
With the Soul Dew present, it meant that the human in front of them was someone they could absolutely trust.
At the very least, he wouldn't harm them.
However, Kawaki was unaware of what Latias and Latios were thinking.
He only saw that the two Pokémon's friendship levels had once again increased by 8 points, reaching 28 and 38 respectively.
"Is it because of the Soul Dew?" Kawaki murmured in his heart.
Soon, Latias and Latios finished their apple pies.
Latias even couldn't help but let out a satisfied burp.
"Burp~"
She immediately covered her mouth with her small hands, embarrassed.
Kawaki: "..."
It was clear that Latias was very satisfied with today's hospitality.
Latios looked at his sister, the siblings exchanged glances, then both looked at Kawaki.
They hadn't brought anything with them this time.
This human had entertained them very happily, so next time they came, they would bring Kawaki some gifts to thank him!
"Mew!"
Latios softly called out to his sister, and the siblings then bid farewell to Kawaki, turned around, left the Breeding House, and flew away.
Their figures quickly disappeared into the sky.
"They're leaving already?" Kawaki murmured.
However, there was nothing he could do. The current Breeding House didn't have the capital to make Latias and Latios stay and guard it.
Since they became acquainted through apple pies, as long as he continued to prepare apple pies for the two Pokémon, one day, they would be able to become friends.
Seeing the two apple pie-loving Pokémon leave, Swellow flapped his wings, also wanting to turn and leave.
But unexpectedly, Kawaki suddenly called out to him.
"Chirp?" Swellow turned back, somewhat puzzled.
"Oh, right, Swellow, there's something I'd like to ask for your Helping Hand with," Kawaki said.
"Chirp?"
"It's like this," Kawaki explained, "I've become the forest ranger for this forest. In the future, if you get injured outside, or if you encounter other injured or troubled Pokémon, you can bring them to the Breeding House, or let them come themselves. I will help everyone with treatment and provide assistance."
"If you find bad people breaking into the forest, you can also come and tell me. Bewear and I will help everyone drive the bad guys away."
"Chirp—" This was not a difficult task for Swellow. He nodded and readily agreed: "Chirp!"
"In that case, I'll leave it to you." Kawaki smiled and handed Swellow a few of his favorite Energy Cubes.
Swellow lowered his head and ate the Energy Cubes, then happily left the Breeding House.
Kawaki slowly exhaled.
This way, the forest ranger side was all set.
Next, he only needed to occasionally patrol the forest and wait for Swellow to gradually spread the news of the Breeding House and his existence to the Pokémon residing in this forest.
However...
Kawaki looked down at the Soul Dew in his hand.
[Soul Dew (Legendary Item): A treasure formed from the passing of Latias or Latios, a jewel possessing mysterious power. When held by Latias and Latios, it greatly increases the power of their Psychic and Dragon-type moves.
If the Soul Dew is placed somewhere, it can protect the ecological stability within a certain range, making this area immune to natural disasters. This effect is lost if the Soul Dew is damaged.]
Currently, it seemed that Latias and Latios had no intention of taking his Soul Dew.
And Kawaki's team also didn't have Pokémon like Latias or Latios.
Therefore, this Soul Dew could only exert its second effect in the Breeding House.
Protecting ecological stability within a certain range, preventing natural disasters...
In that case, he would place this Soul Dew in the central area of the Breeding House.
And the central area of the Breeding House—
Kawaki got up and surveyed the Breeding House, finally setting his gaze on the lake in the backyard.
In that case, he would place this Soul Dew at the bottom of the lake!
However, the moment he put the Soul Dew into the lake water, a beam of light suddenly emerged from the bottom of the lake, transforming into waves of white light that spread in all directions.
And the lake water, affected by this power, visibly became even clearer!
"This is—"
Kawaki's heart was startled. When he looked towards the lake, he clearly saw a string of information floating above the lake.
[Heart Lake: Lake water blessed by the Soul Dew, possessing some special power. The Soul Dew at the bottom of the lake can continuously provide clear water, inexhaustible.
Furthermore, when Water-type, Dragon-type, and Psychic-type Pokémon train within it, they can receive triple the effect.
Centered on the lake, within a radius of one thousand meters, the area will be blessed by the mysterious power contained within the Soul Dew, making it immune to any natural disasters.]
