Who is that Person?

The two were stunned.

They had imagined countless possibilities in their minds.

For example, the Dragonite could have lost control and come to attack human cities, or it could have been angered by human fishing and come to punish people.

But they never considered this possibility.

After a brief moment of shock, the two couldn't help but ask, "Who is that companion?"

Gardevoir replied, "It's a Dragonite that lives with humans."

'What?'

Geeta and Tulip were slightly stunned but quickly realized: 'This powerful, giant Dragonite had come here to look for its companion. If they could find the human and the Dragonite it mentioned, would the giant Dragonite leave peacefully?'

Thinking of this, Geeta asked, "Does it know the name of the human?"

Gardevoir responded, "It said it can't remember."

Geeta and Tulip: "..."

This couldn't really be blamed on the giant Dragonite.

After learning from Mew and the Baby Bear (Teddiursa) that it had companions in this region, it rushed over without paying attention to the other details provided by Teddiursa.

Although Mew had telepathically communicated the route to Paldea, this was still too difficult for Dragonite, who had been asleep for countless years.

Moreover, the route was fragmented and unclear, and this world was too unfamiliar. As a result, it had gotten lost several times before finally arriving here.

It only knew that one of its companions was in the Paldea region, living with a human.

As Gardevoir relayed this information, Geeta and Tulip exchanged glances, both with a big question in their minds.

'Who was that person?'

'What kind of trainer, and what kind of Dragonite, could be companions with such a colossal and terrifying Pokémon?'

After a brief silence, Tulip asked, "What should we do?"

Geeta couldn't help but place her hand on her forehead. 'What is going on?' she thought.

She sighed and said calmly, "Have Gardevoir try to convince this giant Dragonite to wait here. We'll go and help it find its companion."

They did not want to engage in conflict with this immensely powerful Pokémon.

That seemed to be the best course of action for now.

Tulip agreed with this plan. She nodded and told Gardevoir the proposal.

Gardevoir nodded in acknowledgment, then returned to the giant Dragonite to continue communicating.

After a while, Gardevoir came back with the result.

"It agreed."

Hearing this, both Geeta and Tulip breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, the giant Dragonite was still rational and willing to communicate.

Now, all that was left was to find that human and his Dragonite.

As long as they were found, this incident could be resolved peacefully.

After a brief moment of thought, Geeta, the Pokémon League President and top champion of the Paldea region gave an order through the intercom:

"Contact all the major TV stations and inform the reporters and media to broadcast this incident. We need to find that trainer as soon as possible!"

Officer Jenny, who was stationed on the shore, replied solemnly, "Yes!"

While there was a stir in the Paldea region, the atmosphere at Naoki's ranch remained peaceful.

At six o'clock in the morning, the old-fashioned clock on the wall chimed.

Naoki opened his eyes, greeted the Pokémon around him, got dressed, and began his day.

After washing up, Naoki hummed a little tune as he went to prepare sandwiches for the Pokémon.

The Alcremie on the counter hadn't woken up yet and sleepily blinked at Naoki.

Naoki gently patted its head, his hands covered in the smell of butter: "You can sleep a little longer."

"Mree~" The Alcremie closed its eyes again, settling in for a morning nap.

The ranch was always full of activity at dawn.

The Gogoats gathered eagerly in front of the trough, munching away on the grass dumplings.

Dolliv was enjoying the gentle sunshine.

Glaceon hopped down from the icy stone and strolled to the grassy patch outside, shaking its body with a look of comfort and peace on its face.

Meanwhile, Combee and Butterfree were happily drinking the morning dew from the flower field, which was filled with the fragrance of blooming flowers.

Pawmo flew over to the chicken coop, opened the door, and herded the hens inside.

Koraidon, Dragonite, and Cyclizar stretched their bodies, relaxing before starting to play around the ranch.

Alcremie in the cupboard could hear the happy cries from outside and couldn't continue sleeping anymore.

Frustrated, it jumped down from the cupboard, intending to scold the three big Pokémon for making so much noise. 

While preparing breakfast, he turned around and reminded, "Oh, by the way, Alcremie, could you grab the Poké Balls of Nacli and Naclstack from the desk and let them out for a bit of fresh air?"

Reluctantly, Alcremie climbed up to the desk, gathered the Poké Balls, and went outside with five of them.

As soon as the Poké Balls hit the grass, they grew larger and released bright light, revealing the figures of Naclstack and Nacli.

Seeing them, Alcremie's irritation faded, and the small group quickly started playing a game of stacking the salt stones in the pasture.

Making sandwiches was simple, and soon enough, Naoki had more than a dozen of them ready. He laid them out on the table and grabbed some tree juice, Moo Moo Milk, and Poffins from the fridge.

"Time to eat!" Naoki called out.

In no time, all the Pokémon gathered eagerly around the table, big and small, each grabbing a sandwich to devour.

Watching them eat so happily, Naoki's own appetite grew.

He switched on the TV before sitting down to enjoy his meal.

The TV was playing the morning news from the Paldea region, but Naoki wasn't paying much attention. He was busy picking the hay crumbs off Pawmo's fur.

However, one particular news report caught his attention:

"Yesterday morning, a fishing boat discovered a giant sea beast. Upon investigation, it was revealed to be a colossal Dragonite, standing over 40 meters tall!"

"We are unsure where it originated from, but our chief champion, Geeta, along with Tulip, the Alfornada Gym Leader, are currently trying to negotiate with the Dragonite."

The screen then cut to a shot of Geeta, the chief champion of the Paldea League.

Geeta, looking much younger than usual, around her early twenties, appeared serious. Her voice was steady and calm as she addressed the viewers:

"We've discovered the reason behind this giant Dragonite's presence in the Paldea region. It has come here in search of a companion."

"If any trainers or Dragonites recognize this Dragonite, please head to the west coast of Paldea, near Cauldron Lake, as soon as possible. It's waiting for you there."
