Floragato was very upset.
The moment Floragato returned and caught the scent of an unfamiliar Pokémon, the displeasure had already set in.
And when Floragato saw another Pokémon on Xia Chi's bed, a place reserved exclusively for Floragato, that fur bristled outright!
"Flora!"
Why was she taking my spot and lying beside my Trainer?!
"Xia Chi, Floragato's jealous and angry, roto!"
The Rotom Phone once again served as a Pokémon-language translator.
Then Rotom flew over to Floragato and fanned the flames. "Don't be angry, Floragato. This Pokémon is Xia Chi's daughter, roto!"
Floragato grew even angrier.
Father and daughter? Were you two even the same species?!
Xia Chi rubbed his brow, speechless. "Shut up, Rotom! Keep this up and I'll send you back to the Rotom Phone Company to be rebuilt!"
"But I didn't say anything wrong, roto!"
Rotom offered that single line in self-defense, then hurried over to Misdreavus to watch the drama together.
After driving away the troublemaking Rotom, Xia Chi appealed to Floragato's feelings and reason.
Only after he had explained Ogerpon's tragic past and everything that had just happened did that little pot of jealousy finally put its lid back on-for now.
"Flora."
Leaving that parting remark, Floragato flicked a tail and went into another room, choosing to keep the unwelcome sight out of mind.
Xia Chi called Rotom over. "What did Floragato just say?"
A huge "×" lit up on Rotom's screen.
Xia Chi looked puzzled. "You didn't understand?"
"You just told me to shut up, roto!" Rotom said.
Xia Chi: "..."
How did I not notice this rebellious streak when I first switched you on?
Were you made specifically to hurt your owner? What were you, an OPPO A5?
Xia Chi took a deep breath to compose himself, then said, "You're unmuted. Go ahead."
