Saturday, February 14. There was one day left until New Year's Eve.
After returning from the Orange Islands with Tracey, Gary finally settled into a life where all he had to do was open his mouth to be fed.
Introducing Tracey to Professor Oak went quite smoothly. Professor Oak was very generous about helping hardworking members of the younger generation.
And after seeing Tracey's sketches, Professor Oak was utterly astounded and regarded him as a kindred spirit.
Heaven knew why both their sketchbooks were full of girls...
In any case, Tracey passed Professor Oak's test and officially joined Professor Oak's Laboratory, with the title of general assistant.
Well, translated into plain language, that meant doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, caring for Pokémon, and going wherever he was needed...
Tracey himself thoroughly enjoyed it~
With the Spring Festival approaching, snow had fallen outside all night. When they got up in the morning, they could see beautiful frost patterns on the windows.
Early that morning, Tracey put on a padded coat and gloves and went out to clear the snow in the backyard. Seeing snow for the first time, this fellow from a southern island was even more excited than Arcanine...
Gary pushed open the window, letting a gust of cold wind into the room. Eevee-chan immediately shivered twice and burrowed headfirst under his covers.
A flash of white light later, the little one switched straight into Flareon form to warm the bed.
The internal temperature of this form was extremely high, making it very efficient at warming beds...
Closing the window, Gary got dressed, washed up, and headed downstairs.
Sandwiches and fruit tea with a distinctly southern flavor were keeping warm in the warming steamer. Young Master Mao took a sip of fruit tea and couldn't help sighing. "Now this is living~"
