"Did you make this?"
The moment the question left his lips, Raikou already knew the answer.
To this question, Fuyuki had only one word.
"Home!" He said succinctly.
Raikou instantly realized—in this human cub's eyes, this cave was his and Entei's home.
So, he used his innate, magical ability to create all of this, transforming the originally rough, simple, cold, and hard cave into a habitable "home."
Raikou was stunned.
Because, as far as it knew, not all humans possessed the magical power that this human cub possessed.
At this moment, Raikou inexplicably recalled a sentence that Entei had once said to it:
[This little one is different!]
The act of creating a floor on the spot seemed to surprise Raikou as well. Looking at the 20 points of shock value provided by Raikou, Fuyuki grinned and then continued browsing the system shop.
The renovation work wasn't finished yet.
1065-500+20=585
Next, should I buy a crib? Or a door? Or a set of tableware?
Fuyuki looked up at the cave ceiling.
Lighting was also very important.
As a human, he didn't possess the night vision of Entei, Raikou, or Marshadow. At night, he was truly completely blind, unable to see anything.
[Chandelier: A lighting fixture suspended indoors, requires a generator. Exchange fee: 500 Shock Points.]
[Generator: A power supply device, requires an Electric-type Pokémon for power. It can store up to one year's worth of electricity. Exchange fee: 1000 Shock Points.]
Fuyuki: "..." He couldn't afford it at all.
Continuing to scroll down, an item quickly caught his attention again.
[Mushroom Nightlight: A lighting fixture that can illuminate a 40-square-meter space. A rechargeable light, requiring charging with an Electric-type Pokémon before use. A full charge lasts for three months. Exchange fee: 300 Shock Points.]
Fuyuki's eyes lit up. A good item!
He immediately chose to exchange!
The next second, a nightlight shaped like a mushroom, about twenty centimeters in size, appeared out of thin air in Fuyuki's hand.
The shape of this nightlight reminded Fuyuki of a Pokémon called Mushroom.
"285 Shock Points left." He couldn't afford a crib, but a thick rug could serve as a substitute.
[Cashmere Rug: A warm, soft, and comfortable cashmere rug made from the wool of the Galar region's Pokémon Wooloo. For flooring. Exchange fee: 200 Shock Points.]
Bought it!
200 Shock Points were automatically deducted, and the next second, a cashmere rug approximately 4m x 4m appeared beneath Fuyuki.
It was so thick, so soft, so warm; sitting on it felt like sitting on the softest cloud in the world.
Worth it!
When Entei returns, he can sleep on this soft rug with Entei!
However, the mushroom-shaped nightlight still needs an Electric-type Pokémon to charge it.
Speaking of Electric-type Pokémon, he happened to have one right in front of him.
Fuyuki couldn't help but glance at Raikou, who was standing not far away.
Raikou had been silently observing his actions the whole time.
"Raikou~" Fuyuki called out.
Raikou immediately looked up, his gaze shifting from the carpet to Fuyuki.
To make his home more comfortable and pleasant, Fuyuki shamelessly began to fawn over Raikou.
Then, Raikou saw the human child running up to him, carrying that strange mushroom-like object, pleading in a childish voice:
"Help me!"
Raikou: "...What is it?"
Fuyuki held up the mushroom-shaped nightlight: "This... needs electricity!"
A small matter.
Raikou silently extended a paw and released a current into the mushroom.
The next second, a magical scene unfolded.
The previously unremarkable large mushroom suddenly emitted a warm, glowing light!
The light instantly illuminated the entire cave, draping it in a soft veil. In a moment, the once cold cave became warm.
At least it felt more like a home now.
"Thank you, Raikou!" Raikou heard the human cub say joyfully.
It watched as the human placed the mushroom beside the carpet, then took a candy from a large leaf and gave it to Raikou as a gift.
Normally, Raikou thought it might have been happy.
But the thought that these candies originally belonged to Entei filled it with inexplicable resentment.
Fuyuki was unaware of Raikou's feelings.
At this moment, he looked closely at Raikou, at its smooth, golden fur, its strong limbs, and its sharp fangs.
Unlike the majestic Entei, Raikou, resembling a saber-toothed tiger, gave off an aura of unapproachability, ferocity, and coldness.
But… up close, Raikou was indeed a large tiger!
If it were a real baby, what should it do now?
Fuyuki pondered for a moment, then leaned forward, hugged Raikou's big head, and gave it a big kiss, just like a cat owner can't resist kissing their adorable kitten's head.
However, Raikou's pupils dilated instantly at the human cub's sudden action.
Before it could react, it heard the human cub sweetly say, "Thank you!"
"..." Raikou was filled with complex emotions, watching the human cub run off to play with the giant mushroom. It knew perfectly well.
That action was a way for humans to express affection.
This...this human cub, it became so affectionate with it so quickly!
Raikou was deeply unsettled.
It should have, as usual, bristled its fur, raised its tail, and unleashed terrifying electric currents from its tail—a current powerful enough to change the weather.
Then, it would have jumped up, scolding and warning the other party about its behavior.
That's what it should have done.
But then, Raikou suddenly remembered that night when the human cub found it injured and took the initiative to heal it.
At that moment, Raikou's heart was completely in turmoil.
Meanwhile, in Pallet Town.
Entei was passing through this small rural town, intending to continue its journey, but its gaze was suddenly drawn to a human mother and child in the distance.
The young mother was playing with her toddler in the backyard.
She was playing with a Pikachu plush toy with the human cub.
The woman's face was gentle, radiating a natural maternal glow. Her red lips parted slightly, as if she were speaking to the cub.
Entei's hearing was excellent.
Even from a distance, it could clearly hear what the other person was saying.
"Ash, you must grow up healthy!"
Entei's attention, however, remained fixed on the Pikachu plush toy in the human cub's hands.
"Perhaps the little one will like this toy," Entei thought to itself.
Once I'm done with this, I'll bring one back for the little one to play with.
