Yu Hai did not enter Connecting Cave. After all, it was already dark; going into a cave now would not be wise.
After getting far away from the dojo, he released Fearow, confirmed the direction, and rode Fearow toward Kite Town. He would take a ship from Kite Town back to the Orange Islands.
This was still a coastal route. Departing from Kite Town, the ship would briefly stop at Young Leaf Town, then Cinnabar Island, where he would transfer to another passenger ship and head south to Seven Island. Finally, he would reach Kumquat Island before returning to Mikan Island. The entire journey would take more than ten days, meaning he would be stuck on the ship for more than ten days as well.
As he thought about going home, Fearow flew over a mountain. When it passed above a forest, the treetops rustled slightly, and a bird's head poked out. It was another Fearow, and it spotted the Fearow and human in the sky.
"Fearow, Fearow!" Fearow hurriedly informed its trainer that someone was flying overhead.
The girl standing in the tree took out binoculars and saw Yu Hai in the sky. He was still wearing the same clothes as that morning, with his face covered and impossible to see clearly. Once she confirmed it was him, the girl hurriedly mounted Fearow and chased after him.
Yu Hai took over half an hour to fly to Kite Town. He had noticed someone following him long ago. With such clumsy tracking, it would have been hard not to notice. He simply did not understand why that girl was following him or what she wanted.
Fearow landed at the entrance to Kite Town. Yu Hai did not enter the town, instead remaining where he was to wait for the girl
