"'Happiny!'"
At the dining table. Happiny puffed up her little cheeks angrily while drinking milk. Meanwhile, Ash, Meowth, Pichu, and Suzy chatted while eating cake.
"\"So you were curious about why I kept disappearing at noon and decided to follow me secretly?\""
"Yes. I'm really sorry—."
Seeing Suzy apologize, Ash waved his hand and said, "It's fine, it's all trivial. You didn't mean any harm."
Noticing that Ash truly wasn't angry, Suzy sighed in relief, then turned her gaze to the sulking Happiny drinking milk, and Meowth and Pichu eating cake, asking curiously, "Pichu Meow?"
"Are Meowth and Happiny both your Pokémon, Ash?"
"That's right. They've been with me for a long time."
"I was the boss's second Pokémon, meow~"
"Pi! (I'm first! Really?)"
Watching Pichu and the others, Suzy said with a hint of envy, 'That's so nice. Ash has his own partners.'
Seeing Suzy like this, Ash smiled and said, 'You make it sound like I'm not your partner too.'
Suzy was surprised to hear Ash say that, 'Huh? Really??!'
"'Isn't that obvious? Otherwise, why would I treat you to cake...'"
"'Am I... a partner too?'"
As she spoke, the chubby little girl Suzy actually started crying. Seeing this, Ash wiped her tears away and hugged her, saying, 'It's okay. We'll play with you from now on.'
"'Okay!'"
After that, Ash and Suzy became friends, and Suzy, led by Ash, started working out at the gym. The muscular older sisters at the gym watched as Ash and Suzy exercised and grew together. These older sisters later joined the security department of Ash's company.
After exercising, Suzy's plump figure became slimmer. As for Ash, there wasn't much change, but he did start developing some muscles.
"'Suzy, how are you getting along with Vulpix?' Ash, who had just finished exercising, wiped his sweat and asked Suzy about the Vulpix they had lured with food earlier. Suzy smiled at the mention of Vulpix and said, 'Vulpix? It's doing great now. I plan to take it out for a walk in the next few days. It's all thanks to your recipe, Ash.'"
"'Heh heh, I do have a say when it comes to food. I'll teach you a new recipe when I have time. And I won't compromise my taste buds for the sake of exercise. Low-calorie cake recipe...'"
"That's absolutely right!"
""Totally agree! L is such a blessing for girls.""
""By the way, Suzy...? Are you planning to become a caretaker in the future?""
"That's right, because... I want Pokémon to be happy. What about you, Ash?"
"Me? Of course, it's money!"
Hearing Ash say this, Suzy wasn't surprised but smiled and said, 'That's such an Ash-like answer. By the way, Ash, it seems like there are more people around me lately...?. Please give flowers 0..___
At this point, Suzy secretly glanced at Ash. Ash, however, said without a hint of concern, 'It's fine. They're only acting this way because you've become pretty. If they really wanted to be friends with you, they would have done so back when you were still a chubby little girl...'
"'Ash... Can you stop calling me a chubby little girl? Even I don't like recalling those dark days.' Watching Suzy, who was laughing almost eerily, Ash smiled, stood up, and gently pressed his forehead against hers, whispering, 'Those weren't dark days. They're our memories. You're you, whether you're chubby or slim—it makes no difference in my eyes. You're Suzy. That's all that matters.'"
Originally touching foreheads with Ash, Suzy's face was still a little red. But upon hearing Ash's words, she smiled. Yeah... no matter how much she changed, in Ash's eyes, she'd probably always be the same, wouldn't she?
""Thank you, Ash:: It was really great to meet you.""
"Happiny! (Meowth, let me go! Ash's dad is going to be taken away by that bad woman!)"
Looking at the squirming Happiny in his arms, Meowth said helplessly, 'Alright, Happiny, don't disturb them. Let's just quietly eat cake, drink Moomoo Milk, and watch the show.'
"'Pi. Pi!' (Yeah, just watch.)"
