Paradis

(The Next Day)

The Pokemon Studio underwent a small renovation yesterday night. A third floor was added. There was a kitchen and a few bedrooms and guestrooms. Now, the Studio was perfectly prepared for any new additions and/or guests.

In the morning, Frost prepared a grand breakfast and everyone was able to taste her cooking after several decades.

After having breakfast, Qiqi began to help out around the store. She was quickly becoming comfortable with her new environment.

The frequent customers were curious about the new 'human' clerk and it didn't take long for rumors to spread. The owner of the Pokemon Studio had adopted a daughter.

Loki didn't stop this rumor. In fact, he eagerly anticipated it because he wanted to show off his cute daughter to everyone.

(Around Noon)

Yaoyao came to the Studio to play. Qiqi happily gave her a tour of her home and introduced her to everyone. Then they sat on the recliner together and watched Doraemon on the laptop.

Loki watched over them with a smile. Joker suddenly tapped him on the shoulder and he looked back only to see the prankster with a smirk.

"You have been looking at them for a while now. Are you sure you are not a lolicon?"

Clearly Joker still remembered yesterdays's event. Loki was not agitated like before and simply ignored him. After trying to get a reaction from him a few more times, Joker gave up and focused on his game.

When Loki noticed the end of the current episode of Doraemon, he stood up from the sofa and walked towards the two girls.

"Qiqi. Yaoyao. Did you like Doraemon?" He asked with a smile.

Qiqi didn't seem to show much of a reaction. Rather than the anime, she was happy to spend time with her friend. On the other hand, Yaoyao was a lot more vocal and interested in the various things shown in the anime.

"Doraemon has so many interesting gadgets. Uncle Loki, do you also have them?"

Her question seemed to influence Qiqi as well. Facing the curious looks from the two girls, Loki laughed softly and shook his head.

"Unfortunately. I do not have them."

Both girls were a bit disappointed at his answer. He continued with a smile.

"Although I cannot take out gadgets like Doraemon, I can bring you to play in another world?"

Yaoyao slowly widened her eyes. When she realized the implications of his words, she immediately jumped from the recliner and grabbed his hands. She looked at him with bright eyes, full of expectation.

"Can I really go to your world?"

Yaoyao was always interested in the world of pokemon ever since she first saw them on the streets of Liyue. She was not able to suppress her excitement at this moment.

"Of course."

Loki smiled warmly and patted her head. Yaoyao giggled happily, excited about the impending adventure in another world.

As this happened, Qiqi pouted, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction. Loki immediately noticed her cute jealousy. He gently scooped her up in his arms and patted her back.

"Don't worry, my love. I did not forget you."

After spoiling his daughter for a while, he turned to Yaoyao. The young adepti disciple was looking at their interaction with a wide smile.

"Follow me, Yaoyao. Let's go on an adventure in another world."

Yaoyao hurriedly nodded her head. She followed behind Loki as he walked upstairs with Qiqi in his arms. They walked the corridor and reached the last door which was usually hidden.

As Loki opened the door and revealed the blue swirling portal, Yaoyao immediately stopped in her tracks and looked on with amazement.

"It is beautiful." She finally said.

Loki smiled. He looked at Qiqi and noticed that his daughter was also a bit interested in the portal.

"Grab my hand, Yaoyao. You might feel a bit disoriented after entering the portal but don't panic. I am here."

He extended his left hand to the little girl and she quickly held onto it. He nodded his head and brought the two girls into the portal.

Their vision was filled with darkness for a brief moment before colors began to slowly return.

When their sight completely returned, they found themselves in the midst of a flower garden. A two storied house was a few distance away.

The sun was high in the sky, casting a gentle warmth on their body.

The two girls looked around their surrounding curiously. At this moment, a small head suddenly peeked through the sea of flowers. It was Shaymin.

"Shayy." She cried out as she jumped up and landed on Loki's head.

"I also missed you, Shaymin."

At this moment, a triangular head emerged from the ground and looked at the two girls curiously. Loki then introduced the two pokemon to the two girls.

"Qiqi, Yaoyao. This is Shaymin and Kon, my friends."

"Nice to meet you. My name is Yaoyao." The polite girl responded with a slight bow.

"Nice to meet you." Qiqi parroted.

"Shayy." Shaymin responded by raising her small paw as a greeting. Kon also made a soft cry as a greeting.

Loki felt his two friends stare at Qiqi intently. He was carrying her in his arms so they must have felt curious. He smiled as he spoke.

"This child is my newest daughter."

"Daughter?"

Kon asked with a hint of surprise. Shaymin squeaked softly before leaping from his head and landing on his shoulders. She sniffed Qiqi and happily squeaked with affection.

On the other hand, Kon was quiet as two small Dreepy peeked from the holes on her head and also stared at Qiqi curiously.

Qiqi remained quiet. Loki shook his head as he knew Qiqi was a bit awkward around strangers. It would take some time for her to be comfortable around Shaymin and Kon.

"Kon." He called out and the ghost dragon turned to him. "I brought Qiqi and Yaoyao to play. Please give us a ride around Paradis."

Kon understood his intention at a glance. As a mother of two shy children, she understood the best way to bond with a shy child was by spending time together.

"Alright."

Kon completely emerged from the ground and lied on the ground flat. Loki first placed Qiqi on her back and sat behind her.

"Get on, Yaoyao."

Yaoyao quickly sat before Qiqi. Kon then took to the skies. The flight was silent and smooth, one could even play around on her back without any risk of falling.

Kon flew over the vast meadows and forest. Yaoyao and Qiqi were able to see a myriad of pokemon flying in the skies and roaming on the land. It was a wondrous sight, especially to Yaoyao.

They finally stopped above an active volcano where a metallic head emerged from the lava and looked at them. Loki waved his hands in greeting and the metallic head dived back into the lava.

The flight over the ocean was tranquil. Water type pokemon of all shapes and sizes, leaped over the water and played around. At some point, six water fairies waved their hands at them and Yaoyao happily waved back.

Their flight finally came to an end on the base of the Snowy Mountains. Kon landed on a small clearing in the middle of coniferous forest.

Loki was the first to step onto the ground, with Shaymin still perched on his head. Qiqi and Yaoyao then followed him curiously.

"Is the trip over?"

Yaoyao asked with a hint of disappointment. She really enjoyed the scenary along the way and wanted to witness it for a while more.

"Don't worry. The trip is not over yet. I am just here to see an old friend of mine." Loki reassured her with a calm voice.

"Old friend?"

A deep voice, akin to a low growl, came from the depths of the forest. Red spots of light emerged from the gaps of the trees and surrounded them on all sides. Yaoyao and Qiqi stepped closer to Loki, perceiving a threat.

"You say that but you seemed to have forgotten about me completely?"

A tall humanoid fox like pokemon, over 3 meters tall, emerged from the forest. His pure white mane was long and ended with red tips. His cold and powerful presence showed that he was the Alpha of this tribe.

A few more smaller Hisuian Zoroark and several normal Zoroark then emerged one by one, encircling them in the middle.

The atmosphere seemed hostile. The two girls were prepared for a fight but Loki laughed loudly, his next words dispelling the seriousness of the situation.

"Ark, did you wake up on the wrong side of bed? What is with all of this intimidation?"
