Jubilife Pokémon Theme Park.
Little Ranch.
Dawn was looking more and more like a teacher.
That was thanks to the solid foundation she had built. It was fair to say that Li Wei deserved some credit as her teacher.
Gray laughed heartily.
"You've trained an excellent student."
Gray and Juvia's son, the little chubby boy Gray Jr., was among the children taking the lesson.
Li Wei smiled.
"She's worked hard enough herself."
Dawn had no idea that Li Wei and Gray were praising her. She was absorbed in teaching.
A hint of enchantment crept into Dawn's voice.
"They're known as Pokémon blessed by rainbows, and they have healing powers, too. Look, everyone. Aren't their manes as beautiful as a dream?"
Dawn demonstrated how to approach the somewhat timid Galarian Ponyta gently.
"Next, I'll teach you how to build bonds with Pokémon. Watch closely!"
Dawn held out her hand with a Poffin in her palm, then tiptoed toward a Galarian Ponyta.
The Galarian Ponyta was a seasoned actor by now...
The Galarian Ponyta hesitated at first.

the Pokémon cautiously approached,
ate the food,
and affectionately nuzzled her palm.
This was their standard demonstration routine...
In truth, Dawn and the Galarian Ponyta

Dawn, Shiyin, and Mizuki were usually the ones who fed these Pokémon.
"That's amazing!"
"Dawn, you're so amazing!"
The children watched Dawn's interaction with the Ponyta enviously, eager to try it themselves.
"You can all give it a try, too."
Dawn encouraged them. "Remember to move slowly and gently, so the Pokémon can feel your friendliness."
The children copied Dawn.
Under the guidance of Dawn and the other staff members, they carefully tried interacting with the Pokémon.
The ranch filled with laughter and
