Heiduo had no idea how the concept of mates came about among Pokémon.
But what he was seeing made him realize that age was not a problem at all.
She was a full nine years older than you! Round that up and she was ten years older, little brother!
Did you really think that if a woman was ten years older, you would get to hug diamonds?
Have some restraint!
Don't be so embarrassing!
Watching the two Garchomp, who had clearly only met a few times yet now seemed to finally be venting the anguish of longing as they nuzzled affectionately against each other, Heiduo's expression stiffened slightly. Was this really his Garchomp?
"Hahaha, looks like they're even happier than we are to be reunited after so long."
Cynthia chuckled. Just as Heiduo had calmed his Garchomp at the dock, she had repeatedly stopped her own Garchomp from trying to fly at high speed toward the harbor while aboard the ship.
Heiduo gave a forced laugh, not forgetting to glare at Garchomp. What a hopeless fool!
He led Cynthia toward a bus that had been waiting for them.
The driver was an employee from the Association.
Cynthia had only arrived for one day. Unlike the teams who had come previously for official business, they could not simply take her straight up Anomalous Magnet Mountain. They had to show her around Millennium Town properly and fulfill their duties as hosts.
Besides, going to Anomalous Magnet Mountain was only a secondary objective for her. Her main purpose was to see Heiduo.
Naturally, she had not come alone. Behind her was the entire archaeological team she had mentioned before.
They were mostly students of old Mr. Lu Qin, which made them Cynthia's junior schoolmates.
They had come with Cynthia to broaden their horizons.
