The Everyday Life Dian Knew Nothing About

What a stroke of luck!

Dian's eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he pulled out his Capture Styler and began the capture. He hadn't expected to actually find a Cacnea that had been near Mirage Tower.

It was a guide worth its weight in gold.

As the white light faded, Cacnea understood what Dian wanted. It nodded to him, apparently unbothered by Beedrill's earlier attack.

And it truly wasn't. There were still Pokémon in this world confused about their identities and troubled by their origins, waiting for it to save them. To rescue those poor lost souls, it needed a generous heart.

"You should come back and rest too."

Dian took out a Poké Ball and spoke to Beedrill.

Beedrill silently shook its head. In a flash, it vanished and concealed itself nearby.

In the desert, Misdreavus and Espurr generally
