Jubilife Breeding Center.
Excuse me, no sleeping in the road.
Farfetch'd kept using its Stick,
poking Brock in the kidneys.
They explained to Xiao Meng that this was just how Brock was, and he was used to being paralyzed by Croagunk.
Dawn had long since gotten used to it. Brock could confess his love several times a day and get rejected just as often...
The airheaded Xiao Meng nodded with utmost seriousness. "Oh, so that's how it is!"
"I'll head to the Berry orchard, then. See you later."
"Farfetch'd!"
See you, duck~
Back at the Breeding Center, Dawn was like a fish in water, greeting the staff who passed by, even though there were some she didn't recognize.
But that wasn't a problem. The staff recognized her.
The Breeding Center had a photo display wall, and one of the pictures showed Li Wei and Cynthia together with Dawn and Shiyin.
It had been taken during Hiro's last visit to the Breeding Center. Dawn had happened to be there, so Cynthia had suggested that she join them for the photo.
Mostly, Cynthia had wanted to show Platinum just how much Dawn resembled her from a few years ago.
If Platinum hadn't already grown up, Cynthia really would have struggled to tell her and Dawn apart.
Ash looked at Pikachu on his shoulder. "This place looks like so much fun, doesn't it, Pikachu?"
"Pikachu!"

The glass doors slid open to either side, just as Mizuki was about to head out to work...
Brock sprang back to life at full health once again and appeared before Mizuki
