Winter has passed and spring has arrived. The snow that had enveloped Tensei Mountain has finally dissipated, the climate is gradually warming up, and the weather is getting hotter.
That year, Fuyuki turned seven.
After bidding farewell to Fuyuki, Ho-Oh and Suicune left Mount Tensei.
Before leaving, Ho-Oh took Fuyuki to the human world again, helping him gain some Shock Points.
Fuyuki then used these shock points to raise Raikou's level to Lv100.
Raikou was both shocked and moved by this.
Overwhelmed by a mix of emotions, it addressed Entei:
"You stayed here all last autumn and winter, now it's my turn to stay and take care of the little one!"
Entei: "..."
It glanced at the little one beside it. Although it was quite reluctant to part with him, Entei knew in his heart that it was indeed time for Raikou to stay in Tensei Mountain.
"I'm entrusting the little one to your care," said Entei.
"Hmph." Raikou used his claws to pull Fuyuki to his side: "You don't need to worry about this."
Entei was already used to Raikou's behavior. Ignoring Entei, it looked at Fuyuki and said to him:
"Don't wander off. Stay on Tensei Mountain and wait for me to come back, understand?"
Fuyuki nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"
Entei turned to look at Raikou and instructed, "Take good care of the little one."
After saying this, Entei turned and left, leaving only Fuyuki, Raikou and Marshadow on Tensei Mountain.
Raikou finally breathed a sigh of relief; the annoying fellow was finally gone.
It brought Fuyuki back home and lay down beside it, serving as its cushion.
With the departure of several Pokémon, the house suddenly became very quiet and deserted.
Fuyuki stroked Raikou for a while, then watched some TV, but the TV programs in this era were always the same.
Those were either Professor Oak's Pokémon lectures or news channels from various places.
These TV programs weren't new to Fuyuki, who was familiar with Pokémon and knew many of the storylines. After watching for a while, he found them quite boring.
Fuyuki turned off the TV, lay down on the carpet, and stared blankly at the ceiling above his head.
"So boring!"
"Then shall I take you outside to play?" Raikou said, standing up from the ground.
"But I've already explored Tensei Mountain once…" Fuyuki said.
He lived in this place for seven years, spending his days riding Entei around, knowing exactly which treasures inhabited which areas.
But Fuyuki was perfectly clear about it.
It could be said that this mountain held no secrets for him; even Ho-Oh and the others knew more about this place than he did.
"Hmm…" Raikou couldn't help but fall into deep thought; this was indeed a problem.
At that moment, Fuyuki suddenly had a good idea.
"Why don't we go outside and play?" He turned to look at Raikou.
Raikou was slightly taken aback: "Outside?"
Fuyuki nodded: "I want to go out and see what Pokémon live in other places! Like traveling."
"Just like a trainer!"
Raikou initially thought that Entei probably wouldn't agree, but then he thought, why should he consider Entei? Since the little guy wanted to go out and play, he would take him to see the outside world.
"No problem!" Raikou readily agreed.
"Yay!" Fuyuki exclaimed excitedly.
He changed into a new outfit, and then bought a unique Pokémon-world high-tech space backpack from the system shop. Every trainer needs one, and then he put food, water, and some daily necessities inside.
Unlike the Ho-Oh, the Raikou cannot fly and may not be able to return to Tensei Mountain for some time, so all necessary preparations should be made.
"Alright, let's go!"
Fuyuki locked the doors and windows and rode onto Raikou's body.
"Hold on tight!" Raikou's voice was deep. Once Fuyuki was settled, Raikou's agile body immediately began to move.
"Marshadow?!"
Behind it, Marshadow, who had been secretly observing everything, watched this scene. After a brief moment of stunned silence, it quickly disappeared into the shadow of Fuyuki.
At the same time, in the Kalos region, at the Lumiose airport.
Grace solemnly instructed her daughter, Serena:
"When we get to Pallet Town, we need to visit Professor Oak first, understand?"
"Yes, I understand, Mom!" Serena's face was full of anticipation; she couldn't wait to participate in the event.
It was the summer camp organized by Professor Oak.
"Also, don't run around on the street, and don't eat food from strangers. If you encounter any difficulties, go find Officer Jenny for help immediately. Once you get to Professor Oak's place, be sure to call me!"
At that moment, an announcement came over the airport's loudspeaker that a plane bound for the Kanto region was about to take off.
Serena ran towards them eagerly, saying, "I know, Mom, don't worry!"
Grace looked helpless. Sigh, this child...
Serena boarded the plane smoothly and sat in her seat, gazing expectantly at the scenery outside the window.
Professor Oak, she'll be meeting Professor Oak soon!
I've also heard that Pallet Town has many Pokémon that aren't found in the Kalos region.
All of this is truly something to look forward to!
Kanto region, Pallet Town, Professor Oak's Lab.
Ash, who had already turned seven, looked at Professor Oak in front of him and asked eagerly:
"Professor Oak, when are we leaving for summer camp?"
"Wait a little longer, Ash." Professor Oak glanced at the time and said with a smile, "We still have one guest who hasn't arrived yet. That kid should be on his way by now, right?"
"On the way?" Ash asked, puzzled.
Professor Oak nodded: "Yes, that child came from the very far-away Kalos region. Once she arrives, we'll head out to the wilderness to begin our summer camp activities."
"Great!" Ash wasn't interested in the Kalos region or anything like that, so upon hearing this, he immediately cheered excitedly.
He stood up: "I want to go see Pokémon in the wild!"
Professor Oak smiled. Ash, that kid, he's still the same as always!
On the third day after leaving Tensei Mountain, Fuyuki and Raikou arrived at a forest inhabited by many Pokémon.
Looking into the distance from the edge of the forest, one can see a human city standing on the land.
Upon seeing that place, Raikou frowned slightly.
Initially, it intended to take Fuyuki to play deep in the remote Silver Mountain.
But unable to resist the pitiful pleas of Fuyuki, it abandoned its original plan and led Fuyuki all the way to this place.
At this moment, Raikou followed behind Fuyuki, watching him run excitedly towards the ordinary Pokémon.
"Psyduck, Mankey, Poliwag, there are so many Pokémon here that we don't have in Tensei! Raikou... Dad, come and see!" Fuyuki called out as he turned around.
Raikou slowly walked forward, but before he could even get close, he saw the little one suddenly stare at a square with shining eyes.
"That Pokémon is... Bulbasaur!"
Suddenly, a Pokémon resembling a frog, carrying a large seed on its back, emerged from the grass ahead.
That's Bulbasaur, one of the three Grass-type starter Pokémon from the Kanto region!
Just as Fuyuki was about to move closer to observe, he suddenly saw Raikou blocking his way, looking forward with a wary expression.
