"Minccino~"
Minccino helped Natsume pack up the tent.
Dragonair extinguished the Campfire after cooking breakfast.
Natsume looked at the cleaned-up camp and said, "That should be about it."
"Everyone, we're heading back now."
Natsume planned to pause the mission to explore Aoi District.
He wanted to return home to settle Leavanny and the others before continuing the exploration.
"Minccino."
Minccino was looking forward to the new residence.
Natsume patted Minccino's little head and smiled, "You're going to love it."
"Come on in, Minccino."
Natsume first recalled Minccino into its Poké Ball.
"Servine~"
Servine helped Natsume use Poké Balls to recall the Sewaddle one by one.
"Leavanny."
Leavanny gazed at the forest in front of it, with a hint of reluctance in its eyes.
Natsume reassured, "Don't worry, Leavanny."
"Even though we're leaving here, whenever you want to come back, just ask Dragonair to take you."
"Dragonair~"
Dragonair responded.
"Leavanny."
Leavanny nodded slightly and reached toward the Poké Ball in Natsume's hand.
"Servine, Arcanine, you come in too."
Natsume recalled Servine and the others into their Poké Balls before walking to the riverbank.
Feebas floated on the surface of the water, looking at Natsume.
Natsume took out the Poké Ball: "Let's go, Feebas."
Glub, glub~
Natsume placed Feebas's Poké Ball into his backpack.
After shouldering his bag, Natsume looked around.
Unfortunately, there was no sign of Ralts.
"Dragonair?"
Dragonair turned to Natsume, asking if they should look for Ralts.
Natsume shook his head and then stretched his arms.
"Forget it, you can't force these things."
"If Ralts wants to, we'll meet again someday."
"Dragonair, let's go home."
"Dragonair~"
Dragonair let out a long cry and flew into the sky.
Whoosh~
In the sky, a group of Skiploom floated upward, basking in the sunlight.
Dragonair weaved its way through them.
"Skiploom~"
The sunlight above was very warm, and the Skiploom opened their yellow petals to soak up even more light.
Even though they were in the sky, Natsume felt as if he was surrounded by blooming flowers.
"How beautiful."
Natsume remarked with a sigh.
"Dragonair~"
Natsume smiled and said, "Accelerate, Dragonair~"
"Dragonair~"
In the woods.
Ralts held the bowl Natsume left behind and looked up at the sky.
It remained watching until the figures of Dragonair and Natsume disappeared into the clouds.
"Ralts~"
Ralts's figure vanished in an instant.
This forest, like usual, began a new day.
Rice Fragrance Village.
"This place feels so remote."
Two beautiful girls stepped off the bus.
Aiko and Haruka were both students from Keio.
They wanted to visit Natsume's farm.
"It's quite isolated, but the air is fantastic."
Aiko took a deep breath and then took out a Poké Ball: "Come on out, Bulbasaur."
"Bulbasaur~"
Aiko had learned about this place online.
The argument between Toru and Naoki piqued her interest in the farm her online friends had mentioned.
Haruka opened her bag and also took out a Poké Ball.
"Marill, you come out too."
"Marill~"
Marill looked like a small blue ball and was incredibly cute.
"What should we do next?"
Haruka waved her hand to cool herself and asked Aiko.
Aiko looked around and said, "The internet said to first get to Rice Fragrance Village and then ask someone for directions."
"Baa~"
Just as they were talking, the old village chief walked over with his Skiddo.
Without waiting for Aiko to speak, the old village chief looked at them and asked, "Are you also going to Natsume's farm?"
How strange.
Ever since Natsume came here to run the farm, it seemed that more outsiders had begun to appear in the village.
Aiko quickly nodded, "Yes."
Aiko noticed the word "also" in the old village chief's statement and curiously asked, "Is there someone else going as well?"
The old village chief replied, "A young man came by last night as well."
"However, Natsume hasn't been at the farm these past few days, so he left."
"Ah? Not here?"
Aiko and Haruka were a bit bewildered.
Aiko looked at the village chief and quickly asked, "Do you know when he will be back?"
The old village chief shook his head, "I don't know that either."
"I heard from Natsume's Rotom that Natsume went to Aoi District."
"I don't know when he'll be back."
"Houndoom~ Awooo~"
Just as the three were talking, a slightly excited howl suddenly came from a distance.
"Baa~"
Skiddo lifted its head to look at the sky.
"Baa~"
Skiddo excitedly called out.
Aiko and Haruka followed Skiddo's gaze and looked up.
In the sky, a Dragonair, measuring at least six or seven meters long, was flying down from the clouds.
The old village chief squinted and gazed up at the sky.
Seeing the Dragonair, the old village chief smiled: "It looks like your luck is good."
"Natsume is back."
