Luvdisc (Happy Lunar New Year's Eve!)

Zubat sank deep into thought again. Food had already defeated dignity, but several more hurdles still awaited it.

Food! You can do it!!

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

Huh? What's that sound?

Zubat suddenly heard a strange noise and snapped out of its thoughts.

It trembled as it stared at the little bowl in front of it, now empty.

Who ate this!!!

It had already finished the food?!! No!! This wasn't scientifically possible! Its appetite had only reached stage eight! This was cheating!

Zubat flatly refused to admit it had eaten the food. This was all an illusion!

Hearing the noise, Beedrill hurried inside to look and froze.

This Zubat had left quite an impression on it. It had thought this was a Pokémon that would die before surrendering... had thought.

It glanced at the empty bowl.

Something flickered in Beedrill's eyes, and it turned to leave.

"..."

Zubat's feelings were terribly complicated. It stopped playing dead, rolled over, and lay on the sleeping bag Dian had prepared for it... so soft, so comfortable!

"Zzz?!"

It immediately became fascinated by the soft bed beneath it.

Having only just left its cave and experienced modern technology, Zubat looked this way and that, its passion for life rekindled.

Leaving aside Zubat's amazement at how well humans knew how to enjoy themselves, Dian was already preparing to catch fish by the lake.

Never mind the Luvdisc that were nowhere to be seen—he had at least spotted something wild and edible.

Ever since arriving in the Pokémon World, he hadn't eaten a single meal of wild game. It was an outright tragedy.

Once, when he'd spotted fish by a lake, he had been astounded by the wondrous sight and immediately wanted some grilled fish. Unfortunately, a Ranger had appeared out of nowhere and sternly warned him.
