Since he had come all the way to Sinnoh, he definitely couldn't skip Michina.
It had once been his home, after all.
But Heiduo's parents had not been buried there. They had moved to Michina later on; originally, they had lived in Celestic Town. Since one was buried in one's homeland, their graves were in Celestic Town.

Heiduo rubbed his temples. What good memories could a left-behind child possibly have?
At first, Heiduo had still been able to wander around near the laboratory with his parents. But later, when their research made major breakthroughs, it became inappropriate for a child like him to go there.

It was far removed from the world, and transportation was not especially developed.
But its scenery was first-rate.
Even the gentle breeze stirring the green trees
