“Hark~”
Hark the Dragonair had molted every time it leveled up, even when it was a Dratini.
Natsume would always collect the shed skins.
“Bop~”
The Combee called out to Natsume after he picked up Hark’s skin.
Natsume looked at the Combee: “You said you can make me a piece of clothing?”
“Bop~”
The Combee nodded.
Natsume was intrigued by the Combee’s trait: “Alright.”
He handed the shed Dragonair skin to the Combee.
The Combee, even when it was just a Combee, would use leaves to make clothes for itself.
As a result, the Combee was always a darling of the fashion world.
The Combee first used its arms to measure Natsume’s body, then directly used its Leaf Blade to cut the shed Dragonair skin and start cutting.
“Hark~”
Hark the Dragonair curiously approached.
It watched as the Combee fiddled with its shed skin.
After cutting the skin, the Combee used its own spun threads to start stitching.
Soon, a light blue jacket took shape in the Combee’s hands.
The Combee looked at the jacket, then at Hark the Dragonair, thought for a moment, and then sewed a Dragonair that seemed about to take flight on the back of the jacket.
“Bop~”
The Combee looked satisfied and handed the jacket to Natsume.
Natsume was taken aback as he received the jacket.
“Combee, did you study in Milan?”
The Combee looked at Natsume and smiled softly, urging him to try it on.
“Okay.”
Natsume put on the Dragonair jacket.
The jacket was very cool.
Natsume felt no discomfort wearing it, it was very comfortable.
“It fits perfectly.”
Natsume said happily: “I love this jacket.”
“Bop~”
The Combee was happy to see Natsume’s liking and returned to its nest.
Natsume glanced at the Combee’s grass nest.
There was a pile of fallen leaves inside, glowing faintly.
This was the Combee’s unique way of hatching eggs, using the heat of fallen leaves to incubate Pokémon eggs.
Clearly, there was a Pokémon egg hidden under the pile of leaves.
“Chaney”
The Weepinbell reminded Natsume.
It’s time to eat~
“Combee, do you think there’s a chance that I can try to get the Combee and the others to come back with us?”
Combee thought for a moment: “Combee~”
This Combee was here taking care of them, all the Combee, when they hatched.
Sometimes, it would also take in weak Pokémon and help them grow.
The Combee had always been taking care of other Pokémon.
Combee didn’t think there was much hope.
Natsume said optimistically: “Even if the hope is small, we can at least try.”
“If all else fails, I’ll come back here often.”
Natsume thought for a moment and said: “Or, I’ll buy some Pokémon eggs and ask the Combee to hatch them at my farm?”
Natsume really wanted to bring this Combee home.
“Combee~”
Combee thought that it would be great if Natsume could take everyone away.
“So that’s settled then.”
“After we explore this area, we’ll continue to try and get the Combee.”
“We’ll be counting on you then, Combee.”
The Spinda imitated Natsume’s tone and patted Combee: “Pop~”
“Hark~”
Hark the Dragonair also gave Combee a thumbs-up.
Combee looked at everyone looking at it, somewhat dazed.
What’s going on?
Suddenly, the pressure was immense.
Natsume was in a good mood~
“Raru~”
On the branch behind Natsume, the Ralts appeared again.
It sat on the branch, swinging its short legs and watching Natsume and his Pokémon.
Whew~
A gentle breeze blew by.
The Houndoom’s nose twitched slightly.
“Awooo!”
Houndoom suddenly stood up.
It’s a familiar, yet strange smell!
It’s that Pokémon from yesterday!
Natsume looked at Houndoom: “You said you smelled that Pokémon again?”
Houndoom nodded.
Natsume frowned slightly.
Was he being targeted?
“It’s there.”
“Awooo~”
Houndoom immediately rushed towards the spot where Ralts was.
“Raru.”
Ralts was startled and disappeared instantly.
Natsume and Hark and the others all followed.
“Awooo~”
Houndoom stopped under a tree.
Natsume followed Houndoom’s gaze.
“Awooo~”
Houndoom jumped up and bit off a thin branch.
That mysterious Pokémon had been sitting on that branch earlier.
Natsume picked up the branch and thought: “It’s gone so quickly, it must have used Teleport.”
Besides a few Pokémon, most Pokémon that could learn Teleport were Psychic-type.
Abra?
No, Abra usually floats, and its size wouldn’t allow it to sit on such a thin branch.
A small, thin Pokémon, Psychic-type.
Natu?
Or
A small figure suddenly appeared in Natsume’s mind.
“Ralts!”
Natsume excitedly looked at Houndoom: “Can you still smell it?”
Houndoom took a deep breath and carefully distinguished the smells in the air.
At the same time, on a tree not far from there.
Ralts was panicking a little.
It was discovered!
