Early the next morning, after feeding the Pokemon on the ranch and sending Kubfu to classes at the World Tree, Naoki found the Ting-Lu and the others.
"Let's go, today I'm going to take you to a place to see someone."
"Moo-moo?" Ting-Lu turned its head, seemingly asking who it was.
"Her, huh?" Naoki replied with a smile, "She's Raifort. Thanks to her help, I was able to find you all."
"Gruh-pao." Chien-Pao stepped forward. If that's the case, then they indeed had a reason to visit.
"Alright." Seeing several Pokemon agree, Naoki took out their Poke Balls: "Get inside your Poke Balls first. Koraidon will take us together."
Chien-Pao nodded. Accompanied by flashes of red light, the four Treasures of Ruin were taken into the Poke Balls.
Naoki put the Poke Balls into his pocket, then turned and instructed the Indeedee Sibling:
"Sister, the ranch is in your care. I might not return until the afternoon. If Eevee and the others are going to the World Tree, there's no need to prepare lunch for them. Cyclizar and Dragonite will come with me, and Happiny, you shouldn't run around, got it?"
"Iii-ee~" The sister Indeedee nodded gently.
Hearing this, Happiny hugged its pocket full of Poke Balls and nodded happily: "Bookoo!"
After visiting the ranch yesterday, Naoki gave it many round balls, making Happiny extremely happy. It immediately loaded all the Poke Balls into its pouch like Chansey does.
So many that it could barely hold them all.
The feelings of Pokemon are quite simple; if you're nice to them, they'll like you.
Especially a Pokemon like Happiny, which is naturally innocent and simple.
Receiving so many round Poke Balls, it liked this human even more!
Naoki helplessly rubbed his forehead, thinking that perhaps when it evolves into a Chansey and can lay its own eggs, things will be better.
"That settles it, it's time for us to go. See you in the afternoon!"
Naoki waved to the group of Pokemon and then rode Koraidon away from the ranch.
The ground slowly disappeared behind them, and the ranch turned into a tiny black dot vanishing from view, with the rushing wind whistling past their ears.
Koraidon flew over city after city and field after field, finally reaching Mesagoza City before ten in the morning.
The streets of Mesagoza City were still bustling with people, filled with both students and tourists from around the world, gathered in this cosmopolitan city rich in historical culture.
There was no flight restriction over the skies of Mesagoza City, so from time to time, one could see trainers riding flying Pokemon entering the city.
Naoki looked down, finally landing in the wide open plaza in front of the Paldea Academy's main gate.
Raifort was already waiting there.
Years of experience exploring ancient sites gave her keen eyesight, allowing her to spot Naoki and Koraidon in the crowd instantly.
"Here! Over here!" Raifort waved her arms.
"Ah ghasi?"
Hearing the voice, Koraidon glanced up and then ran with Naoki to Raifort's side.
"Long time no see, Miss Raifort!" Naoki greeted.
"Yes, it has been a long time." Raifort looked around, eager: "Did you bring the four Treasures of Ruin?"
"Of course."
"Then let's go to my place first!" Raifort turned and led the way: "Follow me!"
The two of them passed through the enormous gates of Paldea Academy and entered a hall filled with bookshelves.
The floor was lined with striped flooring, and the corners housed many sofas and round tables, seemingly for students to rest and read.
The hall extended to many floors, each filled with countless shelves of books, with students in uniforms and Pokemon constantly moving through, browsing the shelves.
"It's almost exactly like in the games!" Naoki thought as he looked around.
Raifort's voice suddenly rang out: "If you want to tour Paldea Academy, I can show you around later, but first, let me see those four Pokemon!"
Naoki: "..."
One had to admit, Raifort's obsession with the Ting-Lu and the others was quite intense!
He sighed helplessly, then moved to follow her lead.
Guided by Raifort, they quickly arrived at an empty classroom.
Raifort closed the door and was about to speak, but she saw Naoki proactively taking out four Poke Balls.
As flashes of white light appeared, the four treasures Raifort had been dreaming of stood right before her.
Ting-Lu, Chien-Pao, Chi-Yu, Wo-Chien...
"Wow!" Raifort's eyes lit up brightly: "You really did it!"
Naoki smiled slightly and introduced to Ting-Lu and the rest:
"This is the person I told you about before. Thanks to her help, I was able to find you all."
Upon hearing this, Ting-Lu and the others looked towards Raifort.
In the next second, they saw Raifort, who had been several meters away, suddenly rush in front of them with gleaming eyes, excitedly circling them.
The Pokemon's bodies instantly froze.
"So this is Ting-Lu? Such a large cauldron! Judging from its shape and size, this cauldron isn't a daily item but an artwork... or perhaps used as a vessel to worship deities, which is also an interesting question to explore."
