Pokémon: Standing at the Silver Conference at the Beginning.

After winning the Wetlands Gym and obtaining the Swamp Badge, Satoshi continues his journey towards the City of Edge.

Now, the group passed through a forest, and dark clouds quietly gathered in the entire sky.

Rumble…

"what!"

The sudden thunder startled the two girls, and they grabbed Xiaozhi's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.

"The weather seems to be starting to get bad..."

Xiaoguang looked up timidly, and the sky he saw was already pitch black.

Come to think of it, were you two really so timid?

Xiaozhi let the two girls' softness pass through his arms, enduring it silently with an expressionless face.

"It looks like it's going to rain heavily!"

As soon as Lila finished speaking, a little pink head popped out from the jungle in front and looked around curiously.

"That Pokémon is..."

Xiaoguang's eyes lit up, she could never resist cute Pokémon.

"It's Pibao!" Xiaozhi blinked, feeling a little confused.

How could such a little creature live in such an ordinary forest?

At this moment, a big sister in a maid outfit ran over from the front of the forest and held Pibao in her arms.

She said with a worried look on her face: "Pi Baby, you are here! I am really worried about you, please don't run too far!"

"Is that fur baby yours? It's so cute!"

Everyone walked up, and Xiaoguang's eyes were always on Pibaobao.

The eldest sister turned around and explained with a smile, "This child is a Pokémon raised by my master!"

"Owner?"

Hearing this, Xiaoguang and Lila's faces suddenly blushed, obviously thinking of the memories in the maid cafe.

"That's the owner of that mansion. His name is Mr. Envy!"

The eldest sister said this, raising her hand to indicate the location next to the forest, where the exposed top of the castle could be seen.

She then introduced herself to Xiaozhi and the others, "I'm Monika, who works as a maid there!"

"Hello, I'm Satoshi from Pallet Town!"

Xiaozhi smiled, and the two girls beside him came back to their senses and introduced themselves one by one.

"But I didn't expect there to be a castle in a place like this. We didn't even see it just now..."

Lila felt a little strange.

However, before he could finish his words, there was a sudden rumble of thunder in the sky, followed by heavy rain pouring down!

"Damn, it's starting to rain!"

Xiaoguang raised his hand to cover his forehead, but it was no use.

At the critical moment, it was Xiaozhi who released the wave barrier, which prevented everyone from getting soaked.

"Amazing!"

It was the first time that Monica had seen such an ability, and her mouth opened slightly in surprise.

But after realizing how strange she was, she quickly adjusted herself and said, "Please come to the mansion and take shelter from the rain for now!"

This forest is quite a distance away from the nearest Pokémon Center, so Ash and his friends gladly accepted Monica's invitation and followed her to the mansion.

After all, maintaining the wave barrier requires a lot of mental energy, and Xiaozhi can't always maintain this state.

When they arrived at the place, they found that this so-called mansion was even more luxurious than they had imagined.

It has gardens, castles, courtyard buildings and everything else. It is clearly a large manor.

Xiaozhi has seen quite a few of them during his travels. Basically, the rich people in this world like to build such places in order to enjoy the harmonious coexistence of nature, forests and Pokémon.

Take Kojiro from Team Rocket, his family owns many manor bases in various regions, and they have dedicated people to manage them!

"Oh my, my name is Envy. Welcome everyone to come. Please have a good rest in my humble abode!"

The owner of the manor is a kind-looking old grandfather, who is very happy about the arrival of traveling trainers like Xiaozhi.

"Okay, thank you for your kindness!"

Xiaozhi smiled and bowed slightly.

In fact, most manor owners are like this. They are happy to receive trainers on their journey and listen to the interesting adventures they share.

"Everyone, it's snack time!"

Miss Monica came out pushing a food cart filled with noodles of various flavors.

As she called, cute little heads popped up from the hall and the second floor. There were Lulili, Pikachu, Puppie, and the Pikachu that Xiaozhi and the others had just met. It was like a kindergarten!

"How is it? Very cute, right? Are you envious?"

Mr. Envy smiled kindly, his eyes full of love as he looked at the babies.

"Are these all Mr. Envy's Pokémon?"

Lila could see that these children were well taken care of and were in very cheerful and lively spirits.

This envious old man must be someone who particularly loves Pokémon.

"Yeah, it's mine. I'll collect Pokémon from everywhere and let them play in the backyard!"

"backyard?"

Hikaru blinked curiously.

"It's where I met you guests just now!"

Miss Monica explained to them.

In other words, the entire forest actually belongs to someone else.

This old man is really as his name suggests. Xiaozhi admits that he is a little envious...

"The master has now opened up the backyard to trainers, observers, breeders and anyone else!"

It can be seen that Miss Monica has great respect for Mr. Envy.

She lowered her head and looked at the little cuties who were happily eating noodles. "On nice days, he would play with everyone. He is a very gentle and considerate person!"

“This is really great!”

Xiaozhi feels that if his later life can be like that of this envious old man, then he will have no regrets.

Just when the group was having a great time and chatting happily, a little wild boar suddenly rushed in from the direction of the gate, knocked Pi Baobao and the others aside, and started to feast on the noodles that Miss Monica prepared for them!

"Little pig!"

Just as Miss Monica was about to stop him, the little boar finished the entire plate and ran to the other side. His eating manner was quite shocking!

"That's not okay, Monica!"

Mr. Envy shouted hurriedly, if this continued, the other children would not be able to enjoy the food normally.

"Yes!"

Miss Monica responded, ran into the kitchen, and brought out a large plate of noodles. "Here, little pig, this is your portion!"

“Bugi-bugi!”

The little boar barked happily twice, then buried its head directly into the pile of noodles that was several times bigger than it was, and quickly started the clean-up operation!

"Wow! This little guy is such a big eater!"

Xiaozhi smacked his lips. The way he ate was almost as good as Xiaoyao's Snorlax!
