At the entrance of the Breeding House.
Shauna looked at the Seviper, a little scared.
After asking Lucas, she walked forward and greeted the Seviper.
One of the Seviper saw Shauna approaching, and its sharp tail glowed with a purple light.
The next second, it saw many figures standing behind Shauna.
It was even more terrifying than when it first saw Lucas.
The figures behind Shauna surrounded the Seviper.
"Hmph."
Oh, so you have quite a temper, huh?
Pinsir scoffed.
Other Pokémon might not know the horrors of the Breeding House, but it certainly did.
This was experience gained through its own body.
Cynthia stretched lazily in front of Lucas.
Overtime again, she was exhausted.
Cynthia sighed.
It was all Lucas's fault.
Thinking of this, she looked back at Lucas.
Lucas was still captivated by her undulating curves when he suddenly felt a gaze drift over.
He shivered.
What's going on?!
He met Cynthia's gaze and realized she was looking at him with a deadly stare.
Cynthia turned her head, bent down, and picked up the Vulpix that wanted to run to Lucas's feet.
The Vulpix struggled symbolically for a moment, then buried its head deeply into Cynthia's embrace.
Sorry, Lucas, she smelled too good.
Then, she called Shauna and walked towards the backyard.
She was quite satisfied with Lucas's handling of this matter.
The injured trainers and Pokémon would be compensated by the Alliance.
The rest of the matters were left to Lucas.
After all, she was here on vacation.
Wan Long seemed to be on vacation in a few days too; should she ask her to come over and rest, and keep her company?
Cynthia walked towards the backyard, deep in thought.
Cynthia took Chingling and the others with her, and they followed.
Lucas stayed behind to deal with the aftermath concerning the Seviper.
"I'll take you to choose your living area."
With that, Lucas led them from the backyard towards the forest.
The Seviper followed Lucas, and as they passed through the Breeding House's backyard, they felt the comfortable atmosphere of the Breeding House.
Actually, Seviper are relatively stable Pokémon as long as they don't encounter Zangoose.
That's why Lucas decided to let them stay in the forest.
With the friendly buff of the forest and the Breeding House, the Seviper should adapt to life here very quickly.
As for getting stronger and going back to find Zangoose, that depends on whether Lucas thinks they are strong enough.
When they can defeat Gengar and the others, that's when they can be considered strong.
This way, it could both prevent them from encountering Zangoose and causing another incident, and it wouldn't count as him breaking his promise.
Lucas felt he was a very trustworthy person.
Riding on Rapidash, they arrived at the forest. After Lucas let them choose their spots, he explained the situation and the rules they needed to follow, then said a word to the other Pokémon in the forest.
Then he turned and left.
Before leaving, he also told them,
"If you want to get stronger, come to the Breeding House for a challenge."
Watching Lucas leave, the Seviper leader lowered its gaze, then looked at its surroundings.
This place seemed pretty good.
Returning to the backyard, Lucas dismounted from Rapidash and nodded at Cynthia's questioning gaze, indicating that everything was handled properly.
Only then did Cynthia lower her head and continue looking at the book on her lap.
Not far away, Garchomp and Lucario were training the Pokémon of the Breeding House. Lucas sat on the other side of the table.
He watched quietly for a while.
Gothorita came to Lucas's side and skillfully brewed tea.
Dash and the others were engaged in close-quarters combat with Lucario.
Shauna moved a small stool and sat not far away, eating snacks that her grandparents had given her when she delivered herbal tea to Twinleaf Town that morning, while watching them spar.
At the same time, she kept cheering them on.
Soon, Gothorita had finished brewing the tea, and the refreshing aroma of the tea leaves wafted through the air.
Cynthia took a sip of the milk tea in her cup, then looked up at the tea Gothorita had poured for Lucas, a little curious.
"Tea leaves brought from East Jewel. Do you want to try some?"
Lucas noticed Cynthia's gaze, picked up his teacup, and gestured towards Cynthia.
Cynthia nodded obediently.
Gothorita didn't need Lucas to speak; it poured a cup for Cynthia.
Cynthia picked up the teacup and gently blew on it.
Then she drank it all in one gulp.
The refreshing aroma of the tea instantly filled her taste buds, and then her body felt warm.
Her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.
Then she pushed her milk tea aside.
It seemed that drinking this kind of tea was more suitable for reading in the afternoon?
This feeling arose in Cynthia's heart.
Lucas smiled, then quietly accompanied Cynthia, drinking tea, one reading a book, the other watching people and Pokémon.
Gothorita quietly poured tea by their side.
It really liked this kind of life, being able to help take care of others.
He stared at Cynthia's profile for a long time.
He suddenly felt that having an extra person at home really made a difference.
He was even happier after seeing that she also liked to drink tea.
None of the Pokémon in the Breeding House liked to drink tea; they all said it was bitter.
Perhaps he could try planting some tea leaves at the Breeding House? Achieve tea freedom, and if there was extra, he could even give it as gifts or sell it?
This seemed like a good option.
Thinking of this, Lucas couldn't help but nod.
"Is it good to look at?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Cynthia's sudden question, Lucas was a little slow to react.
"I mean, is it good to look at?"
Coming back to his senses, he found that Cynthia had already looked up at him at some point. Seeing that Lucas had come to his senses, Cynthia asked with a smile.
Lucas coughed, his old face flushing.
He had been staring blankly at Cynthia just now, and he didn't expect to be caught.
"Of course, Cynthia is more captivating than the flowers in the flower garden."
A blush flashed across Cynthia's face, then she continued to speak.
"You really like looking?"
Lucas's head nodded uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Cynthia didn't say much, but picked up her teacup and gestured to Lucas.
Understanding, he picked up his teacup and clinked it against hers.
He drank it all in one gulp.
Then, watching Cynthia refocus her attention on the book on her lap, Lucas glanced at it.
It was about Sinnoh myths.
"You seem really interested in Sinnoh myths."
Cynthia looked up at Lucas.
"You know something about it too?"
"Palkia, who controls space; Dialga, who controls time; Giratina of the Distortion World—the three Lake Guardians of knowledge, emotion, and willpower."
Listening to Lucas's words, the light in Cynthia's eyes grew brighter.
"Do you think they exist?"
"Since there are studies left behind, it means there are traces to follow, as the ancients probably wouldn't have fabricated records out of thin air."
Cynthia nodded in agreement.
"You're different from them; they always think these things don't exist."
Cynthia spoke softly.
Lucas knew they definitely existed, but he couldn't just assert it. He could only slowly tell Cynthia the mythical stories of Sinnoh that he knew from his mind.
In his previous life, Sinnoh was his favorite region, so he had also researched the background of the Sinnoh region.
Lucas spent the entire afternoon discussing this matter with an enthusiastic Cynthia.
Cynthia's smile was incredibly captivating in the sunset, and Lucas and the Pokémon around him were deeply drawn to it.
Watching this scene, Lucas finished the last of his tea and looked around.
Tea tasting, small talk.
Such a comfortable day.
