Chapter 646: A Complete Family

Chapter 646: A Complete Family

"It's my turn! It's my turn! It's my turn!"

As soon as Shizuru returned to the ranch, he received a message from Rayquaza.

It was clear that Rayquaza had also been watching the World Championship these days.

After witnessing Broadwing Butterfly, Motolizard, and Frost Fairy's victories, Rayquaza could no longer contain his excitement and eagerly sent Shizuru a message, wanting to take the stage.

He wanted to emulate Frost Fairy, crushing his opponents on the grand stage under the spotlight and becoming the world's strongest Pokemon!

Shizuru: "..."

Rayquaza: "Isn't it my turn to take the stage next?!"

Shizuru twitched his mouth, momentarily at a loss for words.

With Rayquaza's strength, entering the stage at this moment might result in a chaotic massacre, leaving no chance for other Pokemon to showcase their abilities.

Fortunately, Shizuru was well-acquainted with Rayquaza's temperament, and in such situations, a single word from him could deter Rayquaza from insisting on this matter.

With this in mind, Shizuru used his Rotom Phone to send a message to Rayquaza.

Shizuru: "True masters often make their appearance at the very end."

As expected, upon hearing these words, Rayquaza immediately stopped mentioning the idea of taking the stage immediately.

Shizuru put away his Rotom Phone, glanced at the time, and realized it was almost noon. He decided to prepare lunch for everyone.

Just then, several young people wearing Paldea Academy uniforms and brimming with excitement suddenly appeared at the ranch.

As soon as they saw Shizuru, they excitedly shouted, "Mr. Shizuru!"

"Hmm?" Shizuru turned to them, recognizing these individuals who had previously visited the ranch to challenge the trials. "How did you get here?"

The group clenched their fists in excitement, "Mr. Shizuru, we watched your matches in the World Championship. We're your fans, and we want to say, keep up the good work in the upcoming matches!"

Shizuru was slightly taken aback but smiled and nodded, "Thank you very much for your support. I'll do my best."

"Yes!" The group nodded vigorously, "We must show the trainers from other regions the strength of Paldea!"

They seemed eager for trainers from other regions to experience the trials of Shizuru's ranch as well.

Shizuru: "..."

What kind of mindset was this? Did they want others to endure hardship just because they had gone through it themselves? Nonetheless, Shizuru agreed.

In their youth, who hadn't dreamed of embarking on a journey with Pokemon, challenging Gyms, participating in League Conferences, and reaching the pinnacle of the world?

Although his experiences differed from those of other trainers, as he hadn't challenged Gyms or joined League Conferences, in terms of strength, he was undoubtedly superior!

He made up his mind; after defeating the Eight Greats, he would retire and return to the ranch to live out his retirement in peace.

At his age, Shizuru was already considered an older trainer. In a few years, he would be turning thirty. Time seemed to be passing by too quickly.

The trainers seemed to have come solely to cheer Shizuru on. After expressing their support, they bid him farewell and left the ranch, heading towards Dewy Town.

As Shizuru watched them depart, Little Tree, having spotted her father from afar, asked Entei to fly her over.

"Daddy!" Little Tree shouted.

Shizuru turned, and upon seeing his daughter, a smile involuntarily spread across his face.

Little Tree stretched out her arms towards him.

Shizuru picked Little Tree up from Entei's back and headed home with her, "Did you miss Daddy?"

However, Little Tree clenched her tiny fist and shouted, "Daddy, keep it up!"

Shizuru raised his eyebrows, surprised, "Did you watch Daddy's match?"

Little Tree didn't quite understand the concept of a match.

Ai Guan Shi, who was waiting at home to greet Shizuru, explained, "Aigoo~" (This morning, everyone gathered in the living room to watch Shizuru's match. Little Tree joined them and learned to cheer after seeing people on TV doing the same.)

Not only that, but Little Tree had also thought that Shizuru was trapped inside the TV! She ran to the television, tugged at the screen, and pointed at Shizuru, saying that was her daddy.

Shizuru couldn't help but chuckle, "Daddy will definitely keep it up! When you grow up, if you participate in such matches, Daddy and Mommy will definitely go to cheer you on in person!"

Little Tree didn't fully understand the meaning of his words, but she mimicked him, "Keep it up!"

During lunch, Chi Shu returned.

Upon hearing about Little Tree cheering for Shizuru, she couldn't help but hug her daughter and tickle her little head, laughing, "Whose precious daughter is so smart!"

Little Tree giggled in response.

Chi Shu then turned to Shizuru and said, "By the way, Mom and Dad plan to visit the ranch this afternoon to see Little Tree."

"Alright!" Shizuru nodded, "I'm free right now, and I can host them at the ranch."

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

"Don't mention it, family." Blueberry Academy was closed, and there were still several days before his next match, so Shizuru could stay at the ranch.

"Love you!" Chi Shu leaned over and kissed Shizuru's cheek, then giggled and ran to the side.

Seeing this, Little Tree looked at his father, then at his mother, before standing up from the couch and imitating Chi Shu by leaning towards Shizuru.

"Mua!"

Shizuru was left with a face full of saliva.

Shizuru: "..."

Then, Little Tree leaned towards Chi Shu and wiped her snot on her face.

Chi Shu: "..."

Before the couple could react, Little Tree's attention was already drawn to Motolizard and the others.

Little Tree kissed each Pokemon at home, ensuring everyone got some love.

The kissed Pokemon seemed to enjoy it, especially the Three Holy Beasts. Despite having snot and saliva wiped on them, they didn't mind and even licked Little Tree's "fur" like cats.

This was a typical way for cat-type Pokemon to show affection, and even the legendary Three Holy Beasts retained this instinct.

Watching this scene, Shizuru couldn't help but exclaim, "This child will definitely become an excellent Trainer in the future!"

Chi Shu was momentarily confused, "Huh?"

Shizuru: "Did you see that? She gave love to every Pokemon, and in the future, Little Tree will definitely be able to manage the relationships within her team."

Chi Shu: "..." What does that have to do with anything?

At 2 p.m., Shizuru's in-laws arrived at the ranch.

The elderly couple adored Little Tree and often used the Rotom Phone to video call and chat with her when they were free.

As a result, Little Tree had already learned that she had a pair of loving grandparents.

Upon seeing the elderly couple, Little Tree recognized them immediately.

She opened her mouth, eager to call out to them, but for a moment, she forgot how to address them.

Shizuru smiled and reminded her, "Your grandparents brought you gifts again. Are you happy?"

"Happy!" Little Tree remembered how to address them and excitedly ran towards them, "Grandpa, Grandma!"

"Oh!" The elderly couple smiled and greeted her, lifting her up, "Little Tree, do you miss Grandma?"

"Yes!" Grandma and Grandpa always brought her lots of delicious treats!

Hearing this, the elderly couple was delighted.

Shizuru stood by and laughed, "Dad, Mom, come in!"

Chi Shu's father and mother nodded and followed Shizuru into the living room, sitting on the couch with Little Tree in their arms.

The younger sister, Ai Guan Shi, served them tea. After playing with Little Tree for a while, the elderly couple turned their attention to Shizuru.

Chi Shu's father had a look of wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Shizuru was puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Dad, is there something on my face?"

Chi Shu's father quickly shook his head, "No."

Chi Shu's mother chuckled, "Your dad wants to cheer you on! These days, he's been watching your matches on TV at every opportunity. He's so excited to see you win!"

"He even brags to the neighbors, saying that his son-in-law is dominating the World Championship, making the other old men so envious!"

Chi Shu's father's face turned red with embarrassment, "Nonsense, I didn't!"

Shizuru: "..."

But soon, Chi Shu's father realized his feigned indifference was seen through by his son-in-law.

He decided to be honest and asked, "Are you confident about making it to the Master Class?"

Shizuru: "I'm about 90% sure!" He was being conservative.

"Good, good!" Chi Shu's father was thrilled, "Then you must give it your all!"

Shizuru smiled, "Don't worry, Dad. Gogoat and I will do our best."

Shizuru chatted with his father-in-law about this year's World Championship. Then, his mother-in-law approached and asked,

"Shizuru, are you and Chi Shu planning to have another child?"

Shizuru was slightly taken aback and sighed, "Mom, Little Tree is still young."

Although he had considered the idea of having a boy, now wasn't the right time.

Chi Shu's mother nodded, "That's true. Little Tree still needs your care. When she's four or five years old, you can have another child. By then, Little Tree can help take care of her younger sibling."

Shizuru: "..." And when Little Tree is ten, we'll take the younger one on a trip?

Those aren't the scripts for the two children of Qianli, Xiao Yao and Xiao Sheng?

However, based on Shizuru's understanding, Xiao Yao will definitely start her own business and compete in the Grand Festival as the Fanyuan Dancer.

As for Xiao Sheng, he might inherit Qianli's Gym when he grows up.

This seems like a good idea.

If he also has a pair of children, his daughter can inherit his wife's Gym, and his son can inherit his ranch.

But it's too early to talk about this now.

This decision should be made when Little Tree grows up.

The two elders stayed at the ranch until it was almost dark. Shizuru wanted them to stay the night, but they refused.

Before leaving, Chi Shu's mother pinched Little Tree's chubby little face and asked, "Little Tree, do you want to go home with your grandmother? I'll make lots and lots of little cookies for you!"

Little Tree was immediately drawn in.

After spending the afternoon with the two elders, Little Tree was reluctant to see her grandparents leave.

But if she went back with her grandparents, she could eat lots of little cookies!

"I do!" Little Tree replied in a childish voice.

Shizuru's eyebrows furrowed, "Mom, if I'm not there when Little Tree wakes up at night, she'll make a fuss!"

She had never left home before!

"Will Little Tree cry?" Chi Shu's mother asked.

"No!" Little Tree answered firmly.

"Who cries every time I go out to buy groceries?" Shizuru asked.

Little Tree understood her father's intention—he didn't want her to go with her grandmother. She pouted and started wailing.

Shizuru: "..."

Seeing this, Chi Shu's mother picked up Little Tree and said with a smile, "It's okay, we're not stopping you. Your father is just worried that you might not sleep well in a new place. If you don't cry, he'll let you go."

"I won't cry!" Little Tree said, her eyes welling up with tears.

Alright, alright! Shizuru was helpless and had to agree with his daughter's wishes. He instructed her, "When you get there, you must listen to your grandparents, understand?"

Little Tree agreed without hesitation.

So, that afternoon, Little Tree left with the two elders to visit Nian Guang City. Before they left, they took Flame Worm with them.

Without the soft and warm Flame Worm to cuddle at night, Little Tree would have trouble sleeping.

Seeing his daughter leave without looking back, Shizuru felt heartbroken.

Even more heartbroken were the Three Holy Beasts, who had raised Little Tree all this time.

The three of them sat in the ranch, looking in the direction where Little Tree had left, so worried that they barely ate their dinner.

When will Little Tree return? Will Little Tree forget them? What if Little Tree cries and they're not there to comfort her?

Fortunately, a turn of events occurred that night at around nine o'clock.

As Shizuru was preparing to go to bed, he suddenly received a call from Nian Guang City.

As soon as he answered the phone, he heard Little Tree's loud crying.

The sound was heartbreaking, as if they had already passed away.

"I knew it, this little brat would definitely cry at night," Shizuru remembered how Little Tree had left without looking back that afternoon.

Chi Shu: "..."

"Waaah, I want Daddy, I want Mommy!" Little Tree cried over the phone.

Shizuru saw his mother-in-law and father-in-law in a panic, unable to calm Little Tree down.

The two elders loved Little Tree dearly, which was why they wanted to take her home. But they had underestimated the severity of a child of this age crying and fussing when brought to an unfamiliar environment at night.

Shizuru sighed helplessly, got dressed, and said, "Alright, wait for me, I'm coming!"

At 9:10 p.m., Shizuru rode Gogoat out of the ranch.

Around 10 p.m., Shizuru returned to the ranch with Little Tree asleep in his arms.

The little girl's face still had two tear streaks, which Shizuru gently wiped away with his hand. Then, he sighed helplessly.

He recalled how Little Tree had immediately reached out for him when she saw him earlier, and he felt both heartbroken and angry.

This little brat, she promised not to cry at night!

Shizuru lightly patted the bottom of Little Tree, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, then gently placed her in the cradle. He also put Flame Worm in with her.

"Sleep," Shizuru sighed again, then turned and went back to rest.

Soon after he left, the Three Holy Beasts quietly entered the room, tiptoeing to Little Tree's crib. They finally felt at ease when they saw the girl lying in the bed.

No matter what happened, as long as Little Tree was back, that was all that mattered.
