The evening banquet came to an end.
Baimu saw off the thoroughly satisfied guests.
Before leaving, the institute's researchers each said goodbye to the Hisuian Zorua in the incubator.
"Be good now. Live well here~ We'll come pick you up again after a while~"
"Good luck, Zorua! Use your abilities! Win over the Champion's Pokémon!"
Different species of Pokémon being able to produce Pokémon Eggs was the groundbreaking discovery of the century that made Professor Elm famous.
He classified Pokémon according to Egg Groups, believing that even Pokémon of different species could produce offspring as long as they shared an Egg Group. Modern Pokémon Day Care operations had proven this to be true.

That was what the teasing researcher thought.
However, there was only one Pokémon compatible with a female Hisuian Zorua—
Alolan Meowth.
But how could Chief Meowth possibly like some "spoiled young miss" raised in a Terarium? If he wanted, he could have built himself a harem among the feline Pokémon of Platinum Silver Mountain long ago.

The cold-hearted little turtle had wanted to leave right after eating, but he stopped it for some body maintenance. Only after its diamond-shaped crystal shell reflected people clearly beneath the moonlight did he let it go.
"Ba~ ga~"
Terapagos was quite the tsundere. It was
