Unable to make sense of it no matter how she thought about it, Gardevoir scooped up Gabite and used Teleport to return to her trainer.
"You all did well this time. Once we get home, I'm definitely treating you to a seafood feast!"
Ye Qing was very satisfied with this special training session. Everyone had improved, so those ten-odd days of roughing it in the wilderness hadn't been for nothing.
"Big brother, what's a seafood feast?"
Diancie lifted her grimy little face, her eyes full of anticipation.
"You'll find out when we get there. Just don't eat yourself fat."
Ye Qing brushed a finger along the little princess's nose and teased her with a smile.
"Garde, Garde~"
Gardevoir gently set Gabite on the ground and patted her trainer, who was still making everyone grand promises.
"What's wrong?"
The moment Ye Qing turned around, he saw Gabite lying on the ground. He wasn't sure if he was imagining it, but the fellow seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
"Infer?"
Infernape led everyone over, wanting to see what had happened to Gabite, whom they hadn't seen for several days.
Gardevoir explained with animated gestures, describing everything she had seen as best she could.
"Okay, don't worry."
Ye Qing forced himself to watch for quite a while, but still couldn't figure out what Gardevoir was trying to say.
Still, to avoid hurting Gardevoir's feelings, he could only steel himself and pretend to understand for now.
Ye Qing checked Gabite's breathing at his nostrils. Fortunately, it was still fairly even.
