Night fell over Fairy Tale Ranch.
The little ones watched the television turn to static before finally bringing themselves to switch it off and go to bed.
Since they would soon be setting out, Tong Hua had made an unprecedented exception that night and let them stay up a little longer to watch television.
"Mewoo-"
Ampharos reluctantly switched off the television and lay down with Riolu on their warm, comfortable mattresses.
"La-hwa-" Pink Celebi came up beside Tong Hua, who had the desk lamp on and was writing in his diary at the desk where the television stood.
Besides recording the day's events and his income and expenses, he also needed to make plans for tomorrow.
"What's wrong?" He set down his pen and looked at the worried Pink Celebi.
Celebi tugged at Tong Hua's sleeve with her little hand, wanting to say something but hesitating.

"La-hwa-" Pink Celebi hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she still said nothing.
A long while later, Tong Hua finished his diary, put down his pen, and switched off the desk lamp.
"Let's sleep."
Late that night, Pink Celebi quietly crawled out from under the covers.
Everyone inside had fallen asleep. Only Lucario, who never slept, had gone off somewhere to practice Calm Mind.
Celebi flew to the foot of the bed, gazed at the half-moon outside, and gently pushed the window open.
Then she flew out into the silent night sky.
"Sigh-"
Tong Hua opened his eyes and sighed helplessly.
He got up, put on some clothes, and tiptoed out of the Wooden Cabin as well.
The Ranch lay silent beneath the moonlight, dew gathered on
