True.
Back here again.
Just not as lively as last time.
At least not for Satoshi.
"You're back?"
Hana had been waiting at the door for Ye Feng and Satoshi.
She first hugged Ye Feng, then nodded to Satoshi.
The three then returned to the living room, sat around a large table, and ate the dinner that had been prepared.
A family of three, harmonious. No, there was also a Mr. Mime.
Eating its own Poffin by the table.
"Satoshi, what's wrong?"
"Mom saw your match, you tried your best, keep it up! You'll do better next time!"
Hana cheered Satoshi on.
Ye Feng could see that Satoshi was reluctant to part with Kasumi and Takeshi.
Ye Feng didn't say much, and slowly ate his meal.
After dinner.
Satoshi went back to his room to sleep.
Hana, however, looked at Ye Feng timidly.
Her entire face was flushed.
Because, no matter how ashamed she was, she had to confess to Ye Feng!
"Little husband, um, can I rest for a year first, and then we can continue playing cards? Otherwise, my body really can't take it."
Ye Feng nodded: "Okay, but you're resting, and I'm suffering."
Hana's face turned completely red.
Suddenly.
Hana whispered in Ye Feng's ear, "Husband, if you're really suffering, go find my good sister, Masayo, I don't mind."
Ye Feng pretended to be angry, "Hana! What do you take me for!!!"
Hana lowered her head.
"I just don't want to see you suffer too much. So..."
Hana didn't want to either, but Masayo was her best friend.
And she really didn't want to see Ye Feng suffer, so she resorted to this.
Ye Feng hugged Hana, "Okay, my silly girl, you're the only woman for me from start to finish. I won't go to another woman, even if I die of suffering!"
Hana was so moved by Ye Feng's words that she almost cried.
Ye Feng patted Hana, "Alright, go to sleep."
Hana closed her eyes.
In the dark curtain of night.
Ye Feng's eyes emitted golden light.
At this moment, countless golden dust particles slowly floated down, landing on Hana.
It was sleeping powder, enough to make Hana sleep until the next day.
Afterwards, Ye Feng climbed out the window and headed towards Masayo's house.
As he walked, he smiled, "She's truly my good wife, actually recommending her best friend to me to relieve my troubles. It would be unforgivable if I didn't accept this gift."
...
The next morning.
When Hana opened her eyes, she found Ye Feng gone. She then saw a bowl of cooked oatmeal breakfast and a note on the bedside table.
There were some words on the note, left by Ye Feng.
"I have to go out for a while. There's something important I need to do. Take good care of yourself, or I'll be heartbroken."
Hana held the note to her chest, her face full of happiness.
Meanwhile, at Masayo's house.
"What did you just go out to do?"
Masayo asked with some pain.
"Oh, I left a letter for Hana."
Masayo nodded, but the look of pain on her face deepened.
At the same time, so did the look of happiness.
Hiss...
Yesterday and today, she had been soothed by Ye Feng from her long-standing hardships.
"By the way, will Shinji find out about this?"
Masayo seemed to suddenly think of something.
Ye Feng replied, "I put something in the water she drank this morning. She's sleeping soundly now."
"Mm..."
Masayo felt relieved...
But Ye Feng curled his lips.
From time to time, he glanced at the slightly open door of the room he was in...
There seemed to be a beautiful figure there...
...
He stayed at Masayo's house for a whole week.
He had planned to stay until Masayo couldn't take it anymore.
But he received a message that forced Ye Feng to leave New Bark Town.
And head to Ecruteak City in Johto.
The Dragon's Sanctum in Ecruteak City.
This was one of the two forbidden areas of the Dragon Family.
One was the Dragon's Den, and the other was this Dragon's Sanctum.
At this moment, many important figures of the Dragon Family were in the Dragon's Sanctum.
They were divided into two factions, bristling with hostility.
The Dragon's Sanctum, once sacred and majestic, was now stained with blood.
The ground was littered with the corpses of members of the Dragon Family and their Pokémon.
Lance's grandfather, the patriarch of the Dragon Family, and Lance's father, were leading their people against a faction led by Clair's grandfather and Clair's father, the elders.
Lance naturally stood with his father. However, after his recent battle with Ye Feng, all of his Elite Four-level Pokémon were unconscious. Although he had replenished his team, their strength and synergy were not comparable to before.
This had significantly weakened his combat power.
Lance's cousin, Kiyo, was also on Lance's side.
As for Lance's cousin Clair, she was naturally on her father's and grandfather's side.
She had once admired her cousin, but now they were mortal enemies.
Fortunately, Clair's heart was now set on Ye Feng.
"You! Shameless! You actually started a rebellion!!! I won't let you get away with this!!!!"
Lance's grandfather and father angrily denounced Clair's grandfather and father.
"Hmph, rebellion?! We are merely taking back what was rightfully ours!!! And you won't let us get away with it?! Hmph! Who will have the last laugh is yet to be seen!"
Clair's father snorted.
"Yet to be seen?!"
Lance's father sneered and waved his hand.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, many more people emerged from the Dragon's Sanctum.
These people were all dressed in black, covering their entire bodies except for their eyes.
There were about a hundred of them.
These black-clothed individuals exuded an extremely dangerous aura.
They then pulled out their Poké Balls and summoned their Pokémon.
A hundred Dragonites, each with the battle power of an Elite Four member, appeared on the field.
"What?!"
The faction led by Clair's father and grandfather's generation, upon seeing these black-clothed individuals, their pupils contracted violently, and they retreated many steps, huddling together.
"Who are they?! How did so many strangers suddenly appear in the Dragon's Sanctum?!"
Clair's father was terrified.
He wasn't afraid of these people, but of the hundred Dragonites with Elite Four-level combat power.
This was enough power to ignite a considerable war!!!!
And it was enough to wipe out their entire faction!!!
"Heh, you call yourselves foolish, but you don't believe it."
Lance's father sneered, "After our faction's ancestor seized power, we anticipated that your faction might rebel. Therefore, from his generation onwards, we poured countless efforts into creating a Black Dragon Army."
"Although there are only over a hundred members in this army, each of them possesses two to three Elite Four-level Pokémon. And their trainer levels are not much lower than those of the Elite Four."
"Our Dragon Family has two forbidden areas, the Dragon's Den and the Dragon's Sanctum. Normally, over fifty of these hundred individuals guard each location, and they only appear at critical moments."
"And today! Is that critical moment!!!!"
