'wtwo?'
When Naoki saw who had just entered, he froze in place. At that mont, countless thoughts raced through his mind.
How did this legendary Pokémon suddenly appear in his tavern No-how did wtwo even know about this place?
Then, it struck him. Naoki rembered the photo that Baby Bear and w had sent him-the one where they were posing with wtwo and the clone Pokémon.
Putting two and two together, Naoki started to piece it all together.
He didn't snap out of his thoughts for a while. Instead sister Indeedee, though briefly surprised, smiled warmly at wtwo and the group of cloned Pokémon that had followed.
"Aia-" (Welco~)
wtwo didn't reply. Its gaze scanned the tavern, moving past the curious Pokémon guests until it settled on Naoki-the only human present.
wtwo thought to himself, 'So, this is the human chosen by w?'
'He doesn't seem all that different from the others I've encountered.'
'But maybe I haven't yet discovered why. From the mories of w and Baby Bear, this human must be Naoki.'
'Naoki.'
wtwo silently repeated the na in its mind.
Seeing wtwo's imposing presence and the intimidating group of clone Pokémon, Sister Indeedee felt a bit worried. They looked powerful and a little frightening, especially with wtwo standing at the front. The group looked quite... serious.
She glanced at Naoki, who gave her a reassuring look and smiled calmly. "Welco to the Pokémon Tavern. This is a place for Pokémon to relax and enjoy themselves. What would you like to drink?"
wtwo blinked, slightly taken aback. It took a mont to rember why it had even co here.
After its last encounter with w and Baby Bear, wtwo had gone to live in a hidden place called Clear Cliff, along with the other cloned Pokémon. But it wasn't long before humans, with bad intentions, discovered the location and tried to capture them.
Fortunately, with the help of Ash and his friends, they managed to stop Team Rocket's plan, and wtwo erased their mories of the incident.
Following the Clear Cliff ordeal, wtwo decided to continue its search for a peaceful place to live, alongside the cloned Pokémon. Yet, sothing stirred in its mory-the images from Baby Bear and w. The mories of a human, Naoki, who helped Pokémon without expecting anything in return.
For reasons it didn't quite understand, wtwo found itself changing course mid-journey, feeling compelled to seek out this place. Was it searching for answers? Or was it simply
curious about the location w had visited?
wtwo remained silent.
Not only Naoki, but the other Pokémon in the tavern were also starting to notice the unusual guests. The atmosphere in the room shifted slightly as they began to recognize wtwo's commanding presence.
Naoki carefully observed wtwo. Its expression was calm-far from the turmoil and pain he had seen in the ani. There wasn't any hatred, just a quiet sense of reflection.
Naoki realized this must be the post-movie version of wtwo, the one that had started to find peace. Its personality had changed; it no longer needed to prove its power, but instead, sought a life of tranquility alongside the cloned Pokémon.
With this in mind, Naoki didn't try to overwhelm the legendary Pokémon with words. Instead, he simply said:
"If you're unsure, why don't you co in and have a drink?"
wtwo looked at him for a mont, then stepped inside the tavern. The cloned Pokémon followed close behind.
Suddenly, the tavern felt a bit cramped.
There wasn't enough space, so the new arrivals squeezed onto a table with the town's Pokémon. The Machamps and the Quaquaval, who were regulars, seed quite curious about these reserved and unfamiliar guests.
So of the more outgoing Pokémon, like Pikachu, approached the clone Pokémon, eager to learn more about them.
The clone Pokémon exchanged glances before one finally spoke in a slightly stiff tone: "Pika Pika..." (We co from far, far away...)
Hearing this, the town's Pikachu cried out warmly, "Pikachu!" (Well, you're in for a treat! The drinks here are great, and Naoki and the Indeedees make the best food in the world!)
The clone Pokémon looked at each other, unsure of how to respond to such enthusiasm. Seeing this, Naoki asked brother Indeedee to entertain the group of curious clone Pokémon, offering them juice, milk, and sandwiches.
Though these clone Pokémon had complex origins and had gone through many hardships, their hearts were still pure and innocent. Soon enough, they were happily eating and playing with the town's Pokémon.
wtwo stood silently by the bar, watching the scene unfold.
It thought to itself, 'The mories from Baby Bear and w were true.'
'The smiles on these Pokémon's faces are sincere. They genuinely believe that this human is kind.'
'I never expected such a place to exist in the world. If I were just a regular Pokémon, I would probably enjoy it here too. No... I am a Pokémon.'
Suddenly, a drink with an unfamiliar and slightly odd aroma was pushed in front of wtwo.
Its attention shifted to the glass, and it raised its gaze to look at Naoki, who had set the drink
down.
Naoki, noticing wtwo's quiet stare, couldn't help but wonder, 'Can wtwo sense thoughts telepathically? Why hasn't it spoken yet? Could it be that it, like Giratina, avoids
talking to humans? No, wtwo's personality isn't like that.'
Though his thoughts raced, Naoki smiled and said, "Have a drink. It's on the house. It's ant
to bring a little peace to your heart."
wtwo finally broke its silence. "What is this?" its voice calm, cool, yet deep.
Despite Legendary Pokémon typically being genderless, wtwo's voice carried a distinctly
masculine tone.
Naoki replied, "It's beer. A new addition to the tavern's nu."
wtwo glanced at the golden liquid in the glass. Under the soft yellow light of the tavern,
the transparent glass shimred with a warm, intoxicating glow.
For a mont, wtwo felt a strange sense of calm wash over it. It didn't reach out with its
hand, instead using its telekinesis to lift the glass and bring it closer.
Taking the glass in its grasp, wtwo lowered its head and took a sip.
The mont it tasted the beer, sothing shifted inside.
Its body suddenly felt lighter, as if it were floating on clouds. The relentless thoughts racing through its mind quieted for the first ti, and its heart, which had been filled with pain and confusion since its creation, now experienced a deep sense of tranquility.
Peaceful. Calm.
wtwo's eyes beca slightly dazed, and a soft flush spread across its usually stoic cheeks.
It had forgotten its troubles, lost in this serene atmosphere.
'No... this feeling... what is this?'
wtwo shook its head, trying to regain control, forcing itself to start thinking again.
Naoki, watching the legendary Pokémon's reaction, couldn't help but smile.
"You're drunk," he said softly.
wtwo looked directly into Naoki's eyes. It had human genes mixed into its DNA, along with
the ability to sense spirits and emotions, which suddenly gave it a strange, yet familiar
feeling.
The look in Naoki's eyes, the tone of his voice...
"You know ," wtwo stated confidently.
'He must have heard about from Baby Bear'.
Naoki thought to himself. Raising his eyebrows slightly, he didn't deny it. Instead, he asked,
"Who are you?"
'Who am I...' wtwo responded almost instinctively, "I am wtwo, a Pokémon created by humans using w's genes."
It seed wtwo now identified itself as a Pokémon. Naoki nodded in acknowledgnt.
Then, without warning, he saw wtwo gulp down the entire glass of beer.
After "switching off its brain," wtwo looked back at Naoki and nodded. Suddenly, it rembered why it had co. "w said you could help us."
"Huh?" Naoki blinked, montarily caught off guard.
After a brief pause, Naoki asked, "How can I help you?"
wtwo, slightly tipsy, thought for a mont before replying, "No help needed. We're here...
seeking an answer."
Naoki was left speechless for a mont. "An answer to what?" he finally asked.
wtwo's gaze shifted toward the group of clone Pokémon, who were playing and chatting
with the local Pokémon, but wtwo said nothing more.
Naoki sighed inwardly.
Recalling wtwo's story, Naoki ventured to say, "You know, with sothing like this, it's
not about what others tell you. You have to experience it, feel it, and figure it out on your
own."
He gestured toward the clone Pokémon, who were now having fun. "Look at them. You're sitting here, drinking, just like the rest of them. Does it really matter whether you were created or born naturally?"
wtwo remained silent, lost in thought. And then, much to Naoki's surprise, wtwo fell
asleep.
Naoki was stunned. 'Wait... is this legendary Pokémon's alcohol tolerance that bad?' He sighed and turned to his sisterIndeedee, who looked concerned.
"Take wtwo to the guest bedroom to rest," Naoki said, chuckling softly.
"Ai Yi," Indeedee and her brother nodded in unison.
The clone Pokémon were montarily worried when they saw wtwo collapse. Naoki reassured them, explaining that wtwo was simply asleep. Relieved, the group returned to
their playful chatter.
By ten o'clock, the Pokémon from the town began to leave, one by one. After the last guest departed, Naoki closed the tavern for the night.
He arranged for the clone Pokémon to sleep on the soft, grassy pasture, ensuring they were
comfortable.
Yawning, Naoki finally returned to his room, carrying Pawmot, ready for so well-deserved
rest.
The next morning, before Naoki had even woken up, Brother Indeedee knocked gently on his
door.
Rubbing his eyes, Naoki opened the door. Indeedee pointed outside, saying, "Ai Ai." Slightly puzzled, Naoki followed him outside. There, in the pasture, stood wtwo and the
group of clone Pokémon, ready to depart. Hearing the door open, wtwo looked up.
The mory of getting drunk the previous day still lingered in its mind. Thinking back to its behavior, the legendary Pokémon felt shy for the first ti in its life.
At that mont, it saw Naoki walking toward it. "Leaving?" Naoki asked, unsurprised. "Where will you go?"
wtwo responded calmly, "We plan to find a place that belongs to us, where we can live in
peace."
A secluded place, where no humans had yet set foot. Perhaps soday humans might stumble
upon it again, but if they did, wtwo was certain it wouldn't be like the last ti. This ti, they'd be ready.
Naoki nodded in understanding.
Without further words, wtwo's eyes glowed a soft blue, surrounding the clone Pokémon in
its telekinetic aura. Together, they lifted into the sky, as if they had only co here for a brief
visit.
Naoki stood in the grass, watching their figures disappear into the distance. Just as he turned
to head back to the house, he suddenly heard wtwo's voice echo in his mind.
"w likes you very much," wtwo said telepathically.
Naoki froze for a mont.
He imdiately rembered what wtwo had said when it was drunk the previous day.
'So that's why it ca here-out of curiosity about why w liked as a human?' Naoki
thought. 'That's... really sothing.'
For a mont, Naoki was at a loss for words.
He glanced back toward his cozy little tavern.
Thanks to w and Baby Bear's stories, even a legendary Pokémon like wtwo had co as
a guest.
The only regret was that he couldn't ta wtwo. But then again, with wtwo's
personality, it was unlikely to ever be tad by any human.
But that didn't matter!
As a humble rancher, just being able to et such a legendary Pokémon in person was
sothing most humans could only dream of.
Naoki grinned to himself.
Just as he was about to head back to the house, sothing caught his eye-a fountain of water
suddenly sprang up from the nearby lake.
Naoki: "..."
A certain grumpy old dragon was acting up again.
Naoki went back to the house, grabbed a bucket of beer, and poured it into the portal to
Giratina's Distortion World, then casually returned to the dining room. Sister Indeedee had prepared a lavish breakfast.
As Naoki bit into the soft, golden bread, savored the perfectly fried eggs, and washed it down
with sweet, delicious juice and milk, he couldn't help but think: 'Life is good.'
anwhile, in the Distortion World.
Giratina glared at the golden liquid floating in front of it, seething with frustration.
Since giving that human the reverse world water, Naoki had grown increasingly indifferent!
Feeling betrayed, Giratina's anger flared.
It decided then and there: 'That human is going to pay. I'll drag him here and trap him forever!'
But the next second, Giratina gulped down all the beer and promptly passed out. After finishing his farm chores, Naoki thought about Giratina and its beer consumption. So,
for fun, he made a bowl of poisonous mushroom soup and logged into the Distortion World.
Upon arrival, he found Giratina sprawled across a floating island, sleeping soundly, clearly
drunk.
"wtwo can't handle beer, and neither can Giratina," Naoki muttered to himself.
With the big dragon knocked out, Naoki wandered around the Distortion World.
He rembered Giratina's earlier invitation-asking him to farm here.
Naoki had thought about it carefully.
The idea intrigued him, but the Distortion World was unique. Despite having water and land,
it lacked the most essential elent for plant growth-sunlight.
Standing on a floating island, Naoki studied the soil.
There were no trees here, but from his vantage point, he could spot a lone tree growing on a
sky island floating higher up.
'Does this an plants can grow here?' Naoki mused, deep in thought.
"I'll give it a try," he decided. If successful, he could turn this place into a backup farm.
And if the plants didn't grow well, he'd call in his trusty Gogoat or even the King of Bountiful
Harvest to help the plants flourish.
