Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

night.

The bright moon hangs high in the dark sky, its light spilling onto every household.

But with the widespread availability of the power grid, the light in every household seems brighter than the moon.

Where am I? Why is it so bright?

Is this the Pidgeot paradise that Old Bobo was talking about?

Bobo slowly opened his eyes, the bright light making his vision a little blurry.

I'm not dead, so why does my head feel so heavy, and I can't seem to lift it up...?

"You're awake, Popo."

Suddenly, a familiar and gentle voice rang in his ears—the voice he longed to hear every day!

We've really arrived at the paradise of Pidgeot!

"If you're awake, come and eat. Xiao Du, don't keep pressing on Bobo's head. His injury has just healed, and he needs to move around and stretch his muscles."

The gentle voice rang out again.

Suddenly, his head felt light. He looked up and saw a large worm with brown skin, its body resembling a series of connected spheres, crawling past him.

It's that big bug...

"Pop?"

Bobo tilted its head, seemingly pondering whether insects could actually reach Pidgeot's paradise...

No, the big bug isn't dead, so how can it go to heaven?

Wait, if the big bug can't go to heaven, then where am I?

Am I not dead?

Bobo suddenly looked up and twisted his body to look around.

It was a small space with many unfamiliar objects, yet it gave him a strange sense of peace.

Because among these objects is someone he desperately wants to see...

He was a tall, handsome, warm, and gentle human male, who was wearing an apron and busy with something in front of the stove.

"Pop!?"

Bobo instinctively wanted to flap its wings and fly over, but it was afraid that this was a dream that would shatter at the slightest touch, so it hesitated to take action.

until......

"Huh? Huh!!"

(What are you standing there for? Time to eat, you gluttonous, crybaby who's always late!!)

Before, I only had the traits of being a crybaby, a glutton, and a fool. How come I have this new, belated prefix?

No, none of these prefixes refer to me!

Bobo shook its head and glared at the unicorn beetle with displeasure.

"Pop!!"

(I'm not!!)

"Ugh."

(Stupid bird.)

The unicorn didn't care at all. After saying a few words, it wriggled away and didn't give Bobo any time to talk back.

"Alright, stop bickering, come and eat."

Although I couldn't understand what the two elves were saying, judging from their expressions, they were probably best buddies bickering.

Ah, youth!

Seeing Mu Yun speak, Bobo didn't bother arguing with the unicorn beetle. He glanced at his left wing and saw that the wound had healed. After testing it briefly and confirming that he could still move, he immediately flapped his wings and took off.

A distance of a few meters would take a cricket a dozen or more pupations to traverse, but for Bobo, it's just a matter of flapping its wings once.

"Pop~~"

Bobo arrived at the table first, looking down at the unicorn beetle. He casually raised his head, seemingly saying something, yet also seemingly saying nothing at all.

In any case, Mu Yun saw that the speed at which the unicorn cricket pupa was growing even faster.

I must say, the feeling of a couple going on a blind date and being in love with each other has become even stronger!

Soon, the one person and the two elves were all seated at the dining table.

Mu Yun sat in the main seat, with Unicorn Bug and Bobo standing on either side, one at the corner of the table and the other leaning close to Mu Yun's arm.

The table was laden with a variety of dishes, including stir-fried pork with chili peppers, a favorite of unicorns, as well as Mapo tofu, braised pork slices, stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers, and other colorful and flavorful dishes.

He went to great lengths to welcome Bobo to the team.

For the main course, it was rice, and a sandwich that I didn't have time to give Bobo at noon.

Mu Yun took a large bottle of iced tea from the refrigerator, opened it, and solemnly poured it into a glass and two ceramic plates. He raised the glass in front of him and smiled at the two little ones beside him:

"Today is a big day for our old shepherd family, moving from a family of two to a family of three. I've decided to drink this toast to welcome our newest member, Bobo!"

After saying that, Mu Yun gulped down the drink.

Ah~~, on a hot summer day, a sip of this sweet and sour iced tea is so refreshing!

"Ugh!!"

(welcome!!)

Instead of mocking Bobo as usual, the unicorn on the table shook its head, shouted something, and then, imitating Mu Yun, curiously lowered its head and took a sip of its drink.

It's ice-cold and not spicy at all, not good to drink...

"Pop!?"

Only Bobo seemed a little slow to react, standing there dumbfounded.

What happened? What happened while he was sleeping? How did they suddenly become a family?

Although this is indeed what he wanted...

But why all of a sudden? He hadn't prepared a gift yet. Old Bobo said that when courting a female Bobo, one needs to prepare a tree fruit. Is it the same when becoming family? Should he go out and find one now...?

"What are you thinking? You don't want to?"

As Bobo's brain was working feverishly, a large hand rested on his little head, the warm palm like the afternoon sun, so comforting.

"Pop!!"

(No, I'd love to!!)

Bobo shook his head frantically, then seemed to realize something was wrong and started nodding frantically, making Unicorn, who was watching him, burst into laughter.

And you still say you're not stupid or dumb?

"That's right, Bobo, you're mine now. I spent a lot of money to save you, so you'd better prepare to work hard for me for the rest of your life!!"

"Working 007 (24/7), only three meals provided, no pay~~"

Mu Yun chuckled and uttered the words that "humans, cattle, horses, and laborers" fear most.

But to Bobo's ears, it sounded like the clear, sacred music played in the Kingdom of Pidgeot.

Bobo shook his head and nodded frantically again. Finally, as if he realized his actions were silly, he suddenly raised his right wing and, imitating the security guard he had just seen, gave a salute.

His movements weren't perfect, but his eyes were incredibly resolute.

So resolute that even if there were thunder and fire in front of him, Mu Yun felt that Bobo would not back down in the slightest!

"Kiss!!"

(BoBo, the working stiff, is on call 24/7!!)

Bobo responded loudly to Muyun's words, his voice hoarse from excitement.

Humans are not plants or trees; how can they be without feelings?

At first, Mu Yun simply treated Bobo as a sparring partner to get freebies, but as time went by, he began to appreciate Bobo's combat talent. Unfortunately, his mediocre talent dragged down his future.

Later, after witnessing firsthand how he silently sacrificed himself for his training partner, even nearly losing his life as a result, a strong thought suddenly arose in his mind.

He wanted to see just how high this little guy could fly and how far he could go in the future!

"Very good, as expected of General Big Boobs. No, you're still too young to be called Big Boobs. Let me think, what should you be called...?"

Mu Yun glanced at Bobo, who was not even as long as his arm, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly his eyes lit up and he had an idea.

"From now on, your name will be Namikaze. I hope that one day you'll become the fastest Pidgeot in the world!"

"Kiss!!"

Namikaze was very happy with her new name.

I've made up my mind, I'm going to become the fastest Pidgeot in the world!

I can always follow behind him!

"Oh, by the way, my name is Mu Yun, and Xiao Du's full name is Dugu. His dream is to become the invincible Beedrill."

After naming Bofeng, Muyun remembered to introduce himself and Xiaodu.

It's strange, even though we've known each other for so long and our feelings have grown stronger, we've never even mentioned each other's names.

Is this the legendary state of mind where one finds a kindred spirit amidst towering mountains and flowing water, only to meet a visitor whose name remains unknown...?

That's so true to me!
