Su Hao, Master of Keeping Things Fair

All of a sudden, a voice from behind interrupted Su Hao's thoughts.

"Meow~" (Fresh young Gogoat grass milk, please enjoy~)

Turning around, he saw Sableye holding a cup of goat's milk.

Since settling here, Sableye had already built good relationships with the other Grass-type Pokémon. The goat's milk, for instance, had come from the Gogoat herd.

Gogoat, young Gogoat, and Miltank were the only three Pokémon capable of learning "Milk Drink." Compared to the nutritious Moomoo Milk, the goat's milk from the Gogoat herd, carrying a faint scent of fresh grass, was no worse.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Su Hao nodded and took the cup from Sableye.

As he drank the smooth, sweet goat's milk, Sableye massaged his back with just the right amount of strength. It was practically imperial treatment—

After relaxing his tired shoulders for a while, Su Hao stood and smiled at Sableye. "Thanks for your hard work. I'm planning to check on the other Pokémon's training. Want to come?"

"Meow~"

Sableye shook its head reservedly. It was in no hurry to rush things.

As long as it slowly softened Su Hao's heart like a gentle spring rain, it would eventually rise to the top and become official. This process could not be rushed; it had to take things slowly.

First, it had to establish itself as virtuous, gentle, and unwilling to fight for favor.

Unaware of Sableye's little schemes, Su Hao did not force the issue when it chose not to come. He called over an Articuno waiting nearby to save him the walk, then flew toward a distant cliff blanketed in snow.

This Articuno flew fast and smoothly, which was why Skadi had assigned it to serve as Divine Messenger Lord's mount within the Secret Realm, the envy of every Articuno!
