My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Upon hearing this, Tong Hua immediately reached out her hand.

The moment his fingertips touched the magnificent mane, he felt a warm sensation. The fiery horse lowered its head gently and nuzzled Tong Hua's palm with its nose.

"Trembling!" The foam squirrel curiously peeked out from Tong Hua's shoulder, its little paws eager to try.

"This feels so good, I'm so envious!"

Tong Hua spared no praise, calling it the perfect mount in his mind.

"Sister Jie, where did you get this Rapidash?" Tong Hua couldn't help but ask, her eyes glued to the beautiful Pokémon.

"Hehe, I specially transported her from the Galar region. No, this isn't the time to talk about that."

Jessica glanced at her watch; it was already nine in the morning.

"Hurry up, hurry up, or there won't be any good seats left."

So, Tong Hua reluctantly withdrew his hand, went back inside, and called all his friends out.

Because the worm had to stay behind to guard the house, all the food prepared for the flower viewing was placed on the forest tortoise.

In addition, the group also included Bubble Chipmunk, Sweet Bamboo, Mini Fu, the Queen Bee family, and two Celebi sneaking along.

Once everyone had gathered, they finally set off towards Windy Hill.

……

The March winds carried cherry blossoms, turning the hill of Safeng into a sea of ​​pink and white.

Tourists spread out picnic blankets, and laughter mingled with the aroma of food in the air.

The road leading from the popular beach to the windswept hill is also lined with cherry blossoms, which flutter in the air as they are blown by the breeze that winds through the forest.

"Hurry, hurry!"

Jessica urged them on from ahead on her fiery steed, while Tong Hua and the forest tortoise walked leisurely behind.

Foam Chipmunk, Sweet Bamboo, and Mini Fu sat on the back of the Wood Tortoise, helping to hold the picnic basket.

At the back of the procession, the queen bee, surrounded by six swarms of bees, walked at a leisurely pace.

"Buzzing".

Like the Queen's personal guard, they were elegant and graceful.

"Why do I feel like I've become a female knight clearing the way for you all..."

Jessica looked back at the leisurely procession and helplessly pulled on the reins to stop the fiery horse.

Her long golden hair fluttered in the cherry blossom rain, and paired with that dreamy fiery horse, she truly resembled a female knight from a fairy tale.

"Hurry up, kid!" Jessica shouted, hands on her hips. "If you keep going like this, all the good spots will be taken!"

"Here I am, here I am."

Tong Hua said this, but his pace remained unchanged.

Of course, you can't blame him, because he was matching the speed of the forest tortoise in order to walk alongside it.

"But there's no need to rush, the cherry blossoms aren't going anywhere."

"Game".

The forest turtle nodded in agreement, after all, the cherry blossoms along the road were already quite beautiful.

"Terrible!" "Oh my!"

Foam Chipmunk and Sweet Bamboo chirped in unison, and even caught a cherry blossom petal falling from a nearby tree.

"Fufu..." Compared to the two of them, the new companion Mini Fufu seemed much quieter.

The three little creatures sat on the back of the tortoise in the woods, swaying gently as the shell moved.

"You guys..." Jessica sighed, then suddenly had a brilliant idea. "How about this, whoever gets there first, I'll treat them to my special brew."

"Oh my!"

Upon hearing this, Sweet Bamboo, the only one present who had ever tasted Jessica's brewed juice, immediately became excited.

She quickly jumped off the forest tortoise and hopped ahead of Jessica.

"Terrifying!"

Following her lead, the foamy squirrel also went along. Of course, it wasn't to taste that fine wine; it was simply to protect Sweet Bamboo's safety.

"You two..." Tong Hua shook his head helplessly, "There's no other way, hurry up, Forest Turtle."

"Game." The forest tortoise sighed and quickened its pace slightly.

A few minutes later, the group jogged to Windy Hill.

I was immediately struck by the sight before I arrived.

Windy Hill, located near the coast, is the most popular tourist attraction near Windswept Town, besides the popular beach.

Here, in addition to cherry blossoms, you can also see the sea.

A while ago, Tong Hua came here with Mu Mu and the others. It had just rained, and there was a rainbow in the sky.

However, even without a rainbow, the sight of cherry blossoms falling is still quite pleasing to the eye.

Standing at the very edge of the area, you can even overlook the entire town of Fengrao.

"Wow!"

Tong Hua stood on the edge of the hillside, the sea breeze carrying cherry blossoms brushing against his cheeks.

The shimmering blue sea in the distance contrasts beautifully with the pink and white cherry blossoms nearby.

"So beautiful!"

The Pokémon around her also exclaimed in surprise, but just as Jessica said, there really weren't many good spots left.

Almost every cherry blossom tree was covered with picnic mats, and some areas were so crowded that it was difficult to find a place to stand.

"See, I told you, if you come late, there won't be any seats left."

Tong Hua looked around and saw several familiar faces.

"Isn't that Meimei's family? Hey, Senior Brother Mumu is with them too."

Tong Hua looked closely and sure enough, it was Mu Mu, who was happily admiring the flowers with Mei Mei's family.

"I was thinking of hanging out with them, but I think I'll pass. Speaking of which, I wonder if Master Acorn's custom furniture is finished yet."

Tong Hua looked away, then suddenly spotted a familiar figure nearby.

"Huh? It's Nagi?"

Tong Hua looked towards a cherry blossom tree not far away. The spot was somewhat secluded, with only a picnic mat spread out there. The person sitting barefoot on it was the woman who ran the fishing tackle shop.

Beside her was a charming cat, elegantly licking its paws.

Tong Hua stepped forward, and Nagi looked up and recognized Tong Hua.

"Oh? What a coincidence."

……

"I never expected that you, Koto, would know Nagi."

As Jessica spoke, she laid out the drinks from the basket.

"I bought a fishing rod there once before. By the way, is the fishing tackle shop closed today?"

Nagi hugged her legs, buried her face in her knees, and said in a slightly lazy manner.

"Yeah, I'm taking a day off today. Yesterday some weird guy came into the store and kept asking me all sorts of questions, which made me feel bad, so I'm giving myself a day off."

Nagi's voice was muffled, like a kitten that had just woken up. Beside her, the charming cat yawned and lazily rubbed against its owner's arm.

Upon hearing this, Tong Hua immediately shut his mouth. He knew without a doubt that the person Nagi was referring to was none other than Gofuku Hayato.

"I see. But it's okay to take a break now and then. You probably don't know this, but Nagi works as a lifeguard by the village river every day without pay."

Occasionally, children would drown, and Nagi would always save them.

As Jessica spoke, she took out a glass and poured everyone a glass of apple juice.

"Ah!" Sweet Bamboo, who was the first to reach the finish line, happily drank it.

While their owners were chatting, the little Pokémon quickly became acquainted.

"Game".

Nearby, a large forest tortoise and a blazing horse lay together on the open ground next to the picnic mat, and the queen bee also sat down on the open ground, with six bees scattering to bring the queen some sweetness.

Tong Hua took out the food she had prepared, intending to share it with everyone present.

"By the way, Tong Hua," Nagi suddenly looked up, "is it true that you caught that 'Hound-Eating King'?"

"Of course it's true!" Tong Hua replied without hesitation.

"The fishing rig you gave me is of unbelievably good quality! I'll definitely buy from your store again if I need anything else!"

Tong Hua guessed what Nagi wanted to ask, so she took the initiative and spoke first. This left Nagi completely bewildered.

"oh oh……"

Tong Hua took out sandwiches and gave them to Jessica and Nagi.

Knowing Tong Hua's culinary skills, Jessica's eyes lit up when she took the sandwich, and she couldn't wait to take a big bite.

The moment Jessica took a bite of the sandwich, her bright green pupils suddenly contracted.

"Mmm... Mmm!" she murmured indistinctly, the aroma of the sliced ​​bread, the richness of the egg sauce, and the crispness of the spring vegetables intertwining in her mouth to create a perfect trio.

What's even more amazing is that the sandwiches become even more flavorful even after they've cooled down!

"I deliberately sprinkled the seasonings unevenly. Theoretically, this way, each bite will have a different flavor, which should be quite interesting."

Tong Hua explained with a smile, while picking up a piece and handing it to the foam squirrel next to her.

"tasty!"

Seeing Jessica's exaggerated reaction, Nagi also picked up a sandwich with suspicion.

Then, she made an even more exaggerated expression than Jessica...

Even their toes were curled up together.

This was probably the first time Tong Hua had seen Nagi reveal such a rich emotional side, although she quickly suppressed it.

"It really tastes good."

Nagi muttered softly, her cheeks slightly flushed. Charming Cat curiously leaned closer and gently sniffed the sandwich.

"I also prepared some of the Pokémon's favorite dishes. This box is berry salad, and this box is sweet."

Tong Hua opened the lid, and several Grass-type Pokémon immediately surrounded him. Even Torterra seemed to enjoy the berry salad.

As for the sweet treats, they were naturally prepared for the queen bee and her family. However, these were originally taken from the hive, so they were essentially produced and consumed by the bees themselves.

With Tong Hua's cooking and Jessica's "juice," everyone immediately enjoyed themselves.

Meanwhile, a group of black, vertically oriented pupils, hidden in the woods, were intently watching the Queen Bee...

His eyes were filled with resentment and a longing for food.
