Phoebe led Sui Meijia all the way to the Pokémon Center in Lilycove City.
This was also the first time she had ever come to the Pokémon Center alone.
After calming down a bit, Phoebe walked through the automatically opening glass door to the front desk, where she saw Nurse Joy organizing forms and Chansey playing with a deck of cards.
"Joy... Nurse Joy, I... I'm here to pick up the package Roy sent."
"Roy?"
Upon hearing the name, both Nurse Joy and Chansey at the front desk looked up at Phoebe with strange expressions.
Nurse Joy and Chansey from Lilycove City both knew Roy. Upon learning that Phoebe had come looking for the Poké Ball Roy had mailed to her, they joked:
"You're Roy's sister?"
Faced with Nurse Joy's question and Roy's constant calling her a "big idiot," Phoebe was too shy to speak, and could only nod and reply with a single "Mmm."
Seeing Phoebe like this, Nurse Joy felt that the little Phoebe was incredibly cute, and she placed her hand on Phoebe's head and kept rubbing it.
Chansey then came to Sui Meijia's side and handed her a cup of Moomoo Milk.
"Auspicious!"
Sui Meijia was startled by the sudden appearance of Chansey, but after seeing Chansey's kind smile, she accepted the Moomoo Milk.
Chansey seemed to sense that Sui Meijia was sensitive to her surroundings, so it tiptoed up and reached out its little pink hand to touch Sui Meijia's head, then pulled Sui Meijia to sit on a bench in the Pokémon Center and let her drink slowly.
Watching Chansey's departing figure, Sui Meijia felt for a moment that being cared for wasn't so bad after all.
"Stop! Let go of that girl!"
Just as Nurse Joy was still rubbing Phoebe's face, a dignified female voice came from outside the Pokémon Center.
The Automatic Door of the Pokémon Center opened, and Officer Jenny Liya, having completed her mission, entered the Pokémon Center with her Arcanine, only to see Nurse Joy petting Phoebe.
"Sister Liya, you're here?"
Officer Jenny Liya stepped forward and asked Nurse Joy what she was doing and why she was treating the little girl like that.
"She's Roy's sister."
Upon learning that Phoebe was actually Roy's sister, Officer Jenny Liya knelt down and rubbed Phoebe's face with both hands, her movements even more exaggerated than those of Nurse Joy earlier.
This little girl is much cuter than Roy.
Phoebe also received the same treatment as Clefable.
After receiving some concern from Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy, Phoebe got down to business at the Pokémon Center and handed her ID Card to Nurse Joy.
After confirming that Phoebe's information was correct, Chansey took a Poké Ball and a Wooden Box from beside the Transport Device and handed them to Phoebe.
"This is all Roy sent."
Phoebe put the Wooden Box back into her Spatial Bracelet, looking at the Poké Ball in her hand with a puzzled expression, but she didn't open the Poké Ball at the Pokémon Center.
After receiving the "Present" Roy mailed to her, Phoebe waved goodbye to Officer Jenny Liya and Nurse Joy.
Be careful on the road!
Just as Phoebe walked a hundred meters away, she suddenly felt as if she had lost something.
What is it?
"Ghost!"
Gengar, emerging from the shadows, poked half its head out as a warning.
Sui Meijia!!!
Phoebe felt that this person's presence was so weak, it was practically the same as someone who was invisible.
If Gengar hadn't reminded her, she probably wouldn't have remembered until she returned to Mt. Pyre.
Phoebe quickly returned to the Pokémon Center and left with Sui Meijia was still drinking Moomoo Milk.
"Phoebe, give me back the Moomoo Milk from that Chansey."
On the way back, Sui Meijia was still asking Phoebe for the bottled Moomoo Milk in her hand, as if it were a very precious Present.
The two then took Bus back to Mt. Pyre.
Once they reached the foot of Mount Mt. Pyre, Phoebe finally couldn't resist her curiosity and took out the Poké Ball Roy had sent her, activating its switch to turn it on.
A flash of red light, and a Shiny Dreepy appeared before Phoebe.
"Doryu!"
Phoebe stared at the Shiny Dreepy in front of her for two seconds, then exclaimed excitedly.
"Dreepy!!!"
"Flash!!!!"
She never expected that her casual remark would actually lead Roy to find her a Dreepy, and Flash one at that.
The two Gengar hidden in Phoebe's shadow were drawn out by Phoebe's sudden Growl, and looked at the Shiny Dreepy floating in mid-air with curiosity.
Phoebe didn't care about the expressions on the two Gengar's faces. Right now, she was thinking about how she could one day ride Dragapult around Mt. Pyre. Dewdrop every day, just like Roy.
After the initial surprise, Phoebe couldn't help but ponder what Roy had said earlier: what was the connection between Dreepy and the "little" Giratina God?
"Doryu!"
While Phoebe was observing Dreepy was also observing Phoebe. Was this the Pokémon Trainer Roy had been looking for?
When she noticed that Shiny Dreepy was still looking at her curiously, Phoebe realized that she had been so excited that she hadn't even introduced herself yet.
"Hello, I'm Phoebe, the cute little sister of that big dummy Roy. Nice to meet you!"
"Doryu!"
Dreepy sniffed at Phoebe's scent. Although Phoebe's fragrance wasn't as strong as Roy's, she still felt comfortable being near Phoebe.
Moreover, Phoebe could even understand what she was saying.
Sui Meijia looked at the Shiny Dreepy with curiosity, sensing Ghost- Shiny Dreepy Ghost-type energy emanating from it.
"By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Phoebe opened the wooden box Roy had mailed; inside were neatly arranged Universal Ghost-type Pokéblock.
Above the Pokéblock was a note that wished her a happy birthday.
The box also contained Spider Silk from Ariados, which had been sent to the old woman, as well as Tobacco Leaves for her.
It turns out Roy still remembered it was her birthday.
A warm feeling welled up in Phoebe's heart.
Sui Meijia approached Phoebe and saw that the other woman's pupils had turned red. She was instantly at a loss and didn't know how to comfort her.
Phoebe waved her hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took out a Pokéblock from the wooden box, and fed it to Shiny Dreepy.
Two Gengar and Phoebe's Mismagius, along with Banette, were already eagerly waiting next to the box for Phoebe to distribute the Pokéblock.
"Don't worry, don't worry, we have them all!"
Phoebe distributed the wooden boxes of Pokéblock.
The Banette picked up a Pokéblock with one hand and unzipped its mouth with the other, putting the Pokéblock inside.
As the Pokéblock entered her mouth, the Banette's eyes curved into a smile.
The two Gengar were eating in an even more exaggerated way, simply pouring the food into their mouths.
After feeding all the Pokémon, Phoebe took out a box of universal Pokéblock and handed it to Sui Meijia as payment for Homika's accompaniment to Lilycove City that day.
After saying goodbye to Sui Meijia, Phoebe returned to Mt. Pyre and, watching the Dreepy circling around her, excitedly said:
"Dreepy, let's become stronger together!"
"Doryu!"
