Early the next morning, Qingyu could already hear the patter of rain when he woke up.
He reached for his phone on the bedside table. Last night's forecast had predicted a 95% chance of clear skies, yet while he slept, it had quietly switched to a moderate rain icon.
"I bet the weather specialists are pretty baffled right now..."
Why had the weather suddenly changed when there hadn't been the slightest sign of rain?
This was far more absurd than the sky suddenly clearing up.
"Still, they'd probably never guess this was the result of human interference, would they?"
He suddenly understood the thrill of making it rain wherever he went, completely defying the logic of reality.
That big-headed fish? Nothing special!
Muttering under his breath, Qingyu quickly got up and washed.
Only after getting everything ready did he step out of the Gym and take down the rain doll hanging outside.
Going out in the rain was normally miserable, but Miraidon had an "autopilot" function, and humans in the Pokémon world had rather ridiculous physiques anyway. He couldn't even be bothered to put on a raincoat for this little bit of rain.

After patting the soundly sleeping Miraidon awake, Qingyu smiled at its rather resentful expression and took out the sandwiches he had prepared.
"Let's go! Mesagoza!"
As a ride Pokémon, Miraidon
