Aside from a few close acquaintances, he basically never gave the number out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the call connected, Kaede had been wondering who it could be at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s me. Alola, Mallow,\" Kaede used the standard Alolan greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alola, Mr. Kaede.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end of the line, at a hospital in the Alola region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mallow stood outside the hospital room, somewhat flustered. When she parted ways with Kaede back then, he had specifically given her a piece of paper with some strange instructions, which had left her feeling uneasy ever since.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she couldn’t hold back and persuaded her mother to go for a check-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that check-up...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Revealed the illness. The doctor said it was fortunate they came early; any later and the chances of successful treatment would have been much smaller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she heard this news, Mallow was momentarily overwhelmed by an indescribable mix of emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relief, gratitude, all sorts of feelings she couldn’t put into words made her think again of Kaede, who had told her those words back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That mysterious man who had come all the way from the Eastova region just to find a mother for a Bounsweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she quickly snapped back to reality. Although the doctor said the cure rate was high, there was still a small risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That risk made her immediately go find that piece of paper. After hesitating, she still chose to dial this number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with the words on the tip of her tongue, she felt something she couldn’t express.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Eastova region was just so far from Alola.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? What’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the greeting followed by a long silence, Kaede couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that question shattered Mallow’s already fragile emotional defenses at that moment. She murmured, \"My mom is sick...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaede’s tone immediately sharpened a little on his end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly followed with concern, \"Is it serious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could hear that Mallow’s emotions were off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the anime, Mallow’s personality was always quite optimistic. Hearing her like this, Kaede worried that perhaps it was already too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The doctor said...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mallow relayed what the doctor had told her, then stammered, \"He said there’s a little risk, so... so...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A little risk that it might not be cured?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaede was momentarily stunned on his end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to this, it seemed Mallow had taken his words to heart and taken her mother for a check-up, and it was still in the early stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was the early stage, it should actually be quite manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The simpler way would be to mail a bottle of Pecha Berry Wine over; that should do the trick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more troublesome way would be to go there personally, use his Viridian Power to assess the situation, and treat it directly. Not a big problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you... really, thank you for the reminder, Mr. Kaede...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mallow’s voice trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s no trouble, no trouble. I just noticed something seemed off at the time, so I mentioned it. Hahaha, I guess it was fate, considering how awkward I was back then in Alola,\" Kaede laughed, comforting her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then added, \"Since there’s a little risk, would you like me to come take a look? I have some confidence in my medical skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... this...\" Hearing this, Mallow was suddenly at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t bring herself to refuse, but agreeing felt like she’d be imposing too much on Kaede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha, don’t worry about all that. Coincidentally, I was actually thinking about going to Alola soon myself. I have some business there,\" Kaede directly cut off her hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s like this. Winters in the Eastova region can get quite cold, but Alola is summer all year round. So I plan to buy a property in Alola and spend the winters there with my Pokémon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaede wasn’t lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This idea had been in his mind for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In winter, nothing grows, fruit trees don’t bear fruit, and staying at the Breeding House would feel a bit aimless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already May. He couldn’t wait until October or November to go house-hunting over there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he couldn’t find a good property? He might need to build one himself, and there could be all sorts of complicated procedures. By then, it might be too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alola... That’s... Thank you so much, Mr. Kaede... I... I really don’t know how to thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alola, haha, consider it payment for the meals back then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... how can that compare?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, when winter comes, I’ll bring my Pokémon to your restaurant for a feast! It’s settled then. No more talk, I need to pack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaede accepted the girl’s gratitude straightforwardly, even cracking a joke, before hanging up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the call ended, Rotom inquired, \"Is Master going to Alola?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, to buy a house there. Please let everyone know for me,\" Kaede nodded, entrusting Rotom with informing the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the matter wasn’t urgent, Kaede didn’t plan to bother Giratina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was the ruler of the Distortion World. Making it seem like a Distortion World express service just for him... didn’t feel right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Pokémon currently at the Breeding House learned the news and quickly gathered with Kaede by the Reservoir in the plantation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was Alolan Ninetales, Gardevoir, Serperior...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ninetales?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to ask was naturally Alolan Ninetales. It had a long-standing \"grievance\" about Kaede never taking it on his trips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ninetales!\" (*This time, no matter what, you have to take me!*)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were Alolan Ninetales’s exact words. It looked at Kaede with anticipation, though a hint of apprehension lingered in its eyes—it was afraid Kaede would leave it behind again this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, I’ll take you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this trip was more like a vacation, of course Alolan Ninetales could come. It would also be a chance for it to see its homeland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ninetales? Ninetales!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Alolan Ninetales was bewildered, thinking it had misheard. But upon seeing Kaede’s smiling face, it immediately knew it was true, and its expression lit up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Kaede agree so readily, the other Pokémon couldn’t help but look at him with expectant eyes as well.\u003C\u002Fp>",1067,"2026-05-30T11:00:43.170Z","2026-06-01T04:31:04.028Z",1,"novelbin.me","634827642d38e736b17d8c3426c1f11f095e9aa1400df498cf077f00b904e88a","pokemon-making-pokemon-stronger-through-happines-chapter-445","pokemon-making-pokemon-stronger-through-happines-chapter-443",473,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpokemon-making-pokemon-stronger-through-happines-cover.jpg"]
