When Eevee, the sister of Alolan Vulpix, found out that Alolan Vulpix was leaving, she almost cried.

However, she still wished Alolan Vulpix happiness in the future and asked her to often return to the Mystery Hatchery House to play.

The parting between the two little foxes moved some members of the Whitebeard Pirates to tears.

Dak saw a few people crying and was baffled himself.

What's there to cry about?

Dak ultimately couldn't quite grasp the thought processes of some people in this world, feeling that these few had a bit of that Bon Clay vibe.

At dusk.

Dak took the little ones and bid farewell to the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, then returned to the shop.

The little ones, having played all day, were exhausted and immediately fell asleep once they returned to the familiar and safe place.

The next morning.

Dak was sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, he felt a heavy blow to his stomach, which almost made him think he was about to sleep forever.

Opening his eyes intending to scold Growlithe, he found Robin sitting on his stomach?!

No, that's not right!

Dak frowned, and as his vision cleared, he realized something was off about this Robin.

Robin doesn't have a pair of beady eyes.

"Ditto!"

After being scolded, Ditto looked a bit wronged.

It heard from a member of the Whitebeard Pirates that doing this would make Dak happy, but it seems that wasn't the case.

Dak noticed Ditto's mood and called Robin over to explain the situation and asked her to comfort Ditto.

After hearing about it, Robin couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. The innocent Pokémon are just too gullible.

But then again, that person wasn't entirely wrong, were they?

Robin tilted her head, thinking that what the person said wasn't exactly incorrect, just the method was.

After washing up, Dak came out of his room.

Immediately, he saw Pawniard sitting alone by the lake, quietly staring at a Magikarp in the water.

But it's not like Magikarp was staring back at him; Magikarp was clearly sleeping.

Fish don't close their eyes when they sleep, so Pawniard couldn't have thought Magikarp was playing a staring game with him, could he?

Thinking about Pawniard's behavior since birth, Dak felt something was off and went to sit next to him.

"Pawniard, do you have any worries? You don't seem to enjoy playing with everyone."

You're still a baby, after all!

Dak couldn't understand what worries Pawniard, at such an innocent age, could have.

"Muh-tou."

Pawniard looked up at Dak, then stretched out an arm, gently touching its blades.

Initially, Dak couldn't understand Pawniard's language, so he didn't know about his concerns.

Now, after getting to know each other for a while, Dak could somewhat understand what the children meant.

Pawniard was worried that its blades could hurt other Pokémon, which is why it didn't play with them, not because it didn't want to.

"So, that's it, you silly, you should have told me directly."

Dak shook his head helplessly, gently patting Pawniard's head.

Pawniard's body was cold and as hard as metal, a very special texture, but it's precisely because of this that it has the Steel type.

"Muh-tou?"

Pawniard tilted its head, looking at Dak with confusion.

"Easy to solve, leave it to me."

Dak smiled reassuringly and then returned to his room.

[Magical Mart]

[Clothes]—[Pawniard]

Dak found the clothes section and entered "Pawniard" as the keyword.

A plethora of clothes designed specifically for Pawniard's body structure were listed, all made by Pokémon clothing designers to make Pawniard look more attractive.

But there were also some "clothes" designed by Pokémon Professors specifically to prevent Pawniard's blades from injuring other Pokémon or people.

Each set was worth 10 Magical Coins, equivalent to 100,000 Belly.

The price wasn't cheap, but Dak didn't hesitate to buy ten sets right away, in case Pawniard left in the future, he would have spare clothes to take with him.

Ten sets of clothes, different styles, different colors.

Afterward, Dak took Pawniard into the house and helped him put on a set of clothes.

"Muh-tou?"

After wearing the clothes Dak gave him, Pawniard felt somewhat uncomfortable, his movements seemed to have become somewhat sluggish.

He looked down, his body's blades were covered by the clothing, and when he touched them, they felt soft.

"There! Now you can confidently play with everyone."

Dak struggled a bit to dress Pawniard.

The clothes were indeed not easy to put on, with a rather odd construction that Dak initially didn't understand.

But now, after trying it on Pawniard and hugging him tightly, Dak didn't feel any of the blades.

The specially made clothes indeed worked well.

"Muh-tou."

Pawniard snuggled into Dak's embrace, not knowing what Dak was doing, but the feeling was warm.

For the first time, he had a clear sense of temperature.

Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, but he quickly wiped them away. He wanted to be a man and not cry easily.

"Alright, no problem, but still, be as careful as possible when playing with everyone."

Dak put Pawniard back on the ground, patted his little head, and led him out of the bedroom.

The other Pokémon, seeing Pawniard dressed, curiously came over to look.

Growlithe even tackled Pawniard to the ground and licked him, startling Pawniard.

However, realizing he no longer had to fear hurting others, he relaxed and smiled happily.

Dak nodded at this sight.

Bon Clay, Robin, and Darkrai watched all this from the side, and Sceptile from a tree also squinted at everything.

A person, wanting other creatures to genuinely follow and support him, can't rely solely on strong abilities or exceptional potential.

He must also possess personal charisma.

And now, Dak was quietly exuding his own unique charm.

"Alright, everyone, stop fooling around, get ready."

"Today, we're going to a new place to play, and it's quite impressive."

Dak saw the little ones had played enough, clapped his hands to get their attention.

Today's destination was clear.

Marineford, the Navy base.
