March 5th, Tuesday, clear skies.
In the morning, the sun shone warmly, lighting the garden in front of the treehouse. Cutiefly flitted amongst the flowers, with healing rings of fragrance in the air.
Natsume pointed at a patch of bushes and explained:
“Those are Pokémon—clusters of Fomantis. By day they root themselves in the soil, using leaves on their heads for synthesis; at night, they head out to forage.”
Mallow rested her hands on her knees, leaning in for ...

Professor Kukui’s research domain is “Moves,” which not only includes Z-Moves, but also signature moves.
So his proposal of a custom “Gengar Z” Move wasn’t some wild idea, but was rooted in actual precedent.
Some Trainers and Pokémon can develop unusual bonds, resulting in newly created full-power poses, evolution forms, and more.
Aside from real-world records, the anime also features Pikashunium Z and Dusk Form Lycanroc.
With the bond between Natsume and ...

“The so-called tidal foraging is when, during low tide, you head out to coastal mudflats or rocky outcrops to collect seafood.”
The next morning, right at low tide, Natsume led Lillie and the group to the famous Akala Island Welcome Beach.
Natsume explained, “What’s most important is knowing how to recognize Pokémon in the sea… Today’s wild practice course is ‘tidal foraging.’”
“Sounds fun!” Sophocles grinned.

Finding the missing Stufful would take a chance to get in touch with Aether Paradise.
Early the next morning, Natsume prepared to head for Trainer School, ready to begin his first class of the term.
Cynthia had already gotten up, wearing a stately, elegant black coat. She swept golden hair from her ear to reveal a fair and delicate neck.

Location data showed that Team Rocket was in the depths of the forest, not far from Trainer School.
Natsume could easily arrive in moments, but the Trio’s plea for help left him hesitating.
"Bewear? The Bewear that can walk on water like a ninja?" Natsume asked.
"Walk on water... What kind of move is that, meow?" Meowth blinked.

Morning sunlight shone on the villa atop the hill, sparkles shimmering across Kala'e Bay.
“Gengar~” Gengar set down the laundry basket, hanging clothes one by one out on the balcony, gazing at the far-off ocean view and nodding with a toothy grin.
On the front garden lawn, Rotom in Lawn Mower Form zipped by with cheerful hums of “mow-mow-morning-mow.”
In the shade beneath a tree, Lucario sat with eyes closed in Calm Mind, a turtle shell lying motionless nearby.

This time, Professor Oak invited Natsume to take up a position in Alola, both because of his deep strategic skills and solid Pokémon knowledge.

He certainly needed a relaxing job, and Alola’s sunshine and beaches—a true chance to recover.
