Evolution, Shakiras!
Chapter 96 Evolution, Shakiras!
Giratina kicked Dialga in the buttocks, while Time was elbowed forward.
More than a month has passed since the Regirock incident, and Xia Ming can feel his life becoming noticeably lighter.
Stardew Valley and the villages in this area are the only traces of humanity still existing on this land, and human cities covered by new ecosystems have yet to be built.
Now, even buying things requires ordering online, and the courier company has to travel a long distance to deliver them to the town, which is extremely inconvenient.
Therefore, with no cities to visit, the residents of the small town began to visit each other frequently, and chatting, having tea parties, and having small parties in their spare time became their best way to relax.
Xia Ming was no exception. In his spare time, he would be invited by Abigail, Sebastian and others to their houses for parties, play games together, watch movies together, and finally lie sprawled on the floor of the room for the night.
On weekends, she might be dragged by Sofia to a wine tasting hosted by Olivia, or by Abigail's mother, Caroline, to have tea and snacks, or by Gus and Mani to the weekly feasts prepared for the townspeople.
In short, there were many small activities, so many that Xia Ming felt relaxed and happy, yet time seemed to fly by. It felt like after a busy day, it was already time to go to bed.
Winter was approaching, and he was about to see his new house finally delivered.
"This is our future home. What do you think? Do you like it?"
In September, the harbingers of winter are the thin ice glittering in the morning sun and the frost covering the grass blades at midnight, reminding people on the third day that winter is coming.
On the farm, in front of the cranberry plants that exude vitality like a meadow, a huge three-story building was officially completed.
Standing fourteen meters tall, the building is a combination of white and pink. Several withered cherry trees and several white snow cherry trees, which are about to bloom in winter, have been transplanted around it, giving the building a dreamlike beauty.
Xia Ming brought Sophia and a group of Pokémon to the courtyard of the big house to tell them the surprise.
Yes, their new home is finished, and a farm belonging to Xia Ming is slowly being built.
"Naruru~ Naru~ru!"
So beautiful, so lovely, a new house!
The petite Ralts sat on the back of Xia Ming's neck, cheering and clapping its hands in surprise.
"Doli~"
Your aesthetic sense is so much better than your grandfather's and the other kids'. Can I make a small flower bed in the yard?
"Of course, Miss Skirt. The yard is big enough for all Pokémon to add their favorite things here, including you, the Babysitter."
"Hoo-hoo!"
Thank you!
The babysitters felt Xia Ming's attention to them and bowed to express their gratitude.
At Xia Ming's feet, accompanied by Miss Skirt's small request, Aluminum Steel Dragon and Larvitar stretched out their paws to touch the hem of Xia Ming's clothes, full of anticipation for the future: "Larvitar?"
Can I put a rockery in the yard, Xia Ming? We can build it together.
"Young Yoshi".
Uh-huh.
The female Young Gilas standing next to Young Gilas nodded.
The artificial mountain is fake, but the real purpose is to create a nest. This artificial mountain is more like a small family placed within a large family.
"Lulu~"
I want a small pool where I can wash my skin until it's shiny every day.
"Yo yo? Yo?"
Can I make a request? Is that alright? Is that alright?
Seeing that her friends all had requests, Rock Dog couldn't resist either. She twirled and bounced around Xia Ming and Sophia, looking extremely eager.
Xia Ming's answer was, of course, "Sure, whatever you want! We're family already, Rock Dog and Riolu. You can make any small requests you have; this yard can accommodate them."
"Well, we'll probably be staying here permanently from today onwards, and we'll only go back to the farm when we're particularly busy."
Sophia nestled happily against Xia Ming's shoulder, her arm linked with his. Nothing could bring her more peace and happiness than a home that belonged to them.
Although it may take a long walk every day to get to the blackberry vineyard, isn't it worth it?
"Yo! Yo yo~"
Hooray! I want a small sandy area!
The cheering Rockruff was a common sight among many Pokémon present.
The most important thing about a home is home. When a home exists, it makes all family members feel happy and raises their expectations for the future.
All the Pokémon were excited, and Xia Ming and Sophia were inevitably infected by their excitement.
So, what kind of things are most worth doing in this kind of atmosphere?
"Oh my, Xia Ming, I was wondering why you invited everyone here for the first time ever, and even had us get so many ingredients for you from Uncle Ges."
"Hey buddy, you don't mind if I bring my sister to the party?"
"Hey little farmer, wanna take a commemorative photo together?"
Abigail, Sebastian, Maru, Hailey, and Sam appeared at the gate of Xia Ming's new house. They were carrying large and small bags and their respective Pokémon, followed by two heavy mudslingers carrying heavy loads.
They pulled two trolleys piled high with barbecue grills and ingredients, enough to satisfy everyone at the party!
"Kiss~Kiss!"
Eagerly, Cocodora leaped from Abigail's arms and ran to Young Gilas's feet to celebrate: "Coo, coo!"
Eurythmus, your new home is fantastic!
"Yoji~"
It's all thanks to Xia Ming.
The occasion was very grand, and Young Gilas tried his best to appear calm and composed, especially in front of Cocodora, his long-time little brother.
But soon, Xia Ming's large hand calmed his nerves: "Relax, Younggilas. You deserve some credit for this. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to build such a beautiful house. So, this is our home!"
"Yukichi?"
Our home?
"Yes! Together, we will make this home more beautiful, more lovely, and more perfect. We all deserve credit, not just me. We are family!"
"Young Yoshi!"
Yes, we are family!
wow~
The light of evolution shone upon Young Gilas.
Family, what a warm word! The young Gilas, which had already absorbed a huge amount of energy, naturally evolved, and its intense emotions caused the barrier blocking its way to shatter.
"Cool~ So noisy!"
The power surged forth!
A lapis lazuli-like silkworm pupa appeared in the yard, its dark, shimmering eyes hidden within its shell.
It sensed that it had taken another step closer to becoming powerful enough to stand in front of Xia Ming forever!
"Ah, it's Shakiras!"
"Tyranitar is the coolest Pokémon I know, keep it up, Tyranitar!"
"Congratulations, Shakiras! It looks like we're going to shine in the Moltres Cup this time."
Xia Ming reached out and hugged the evolved Shakiras, which was now two meters tall, and was pleasantly surprised.
