"..."
Red hugged Carakara and stroked its back, gradually calming it down.
It was at this time.
Whoosh~!
A small bone club, tearing through layers of air, spun in the air and attacked them.
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu leaped up and lashed out with its tail, swatting the small bone that had suddenly attacked it back.
"This is..."
Holding the crimson Carakara, he frowned slightly, turned his head, and looked toward the source of the little bones that had attacked them.
There, two wild Cubones were holding small bone clubs, seemingly frightened by the incredibly powerful Pikachu.
But they still suppressed their trembling, their eyes fixed on the crimson creature embracing Cara Cara!
"What's wrong? Are you angry...?"
Upon seeing their gazes, which regarded him as an enemy, Crimson was slightly taken aback, then reacted and looked at Caracara in his arms, who was also somewhat stunned:
"Do you know each other?"
"Click~"
Caracara shook its head slightly, rejecting Crimson's guess, then jumped down from Crimson's arms and walked towards the two wild Caracaras.
"Click?"
"Click~ woo!" Nods.
"Crack, crack crack, crack~ crack~"
"Click-clack, click-clack-clack," nodding.
"Click..."
"Click...whoosh..."
"..."
After a brief exchange between the Karakara and the two wild Karakara, the meaning of which was unclear.
"Click!"
The two wild Caracalla turned around and walked towards the tunnel behind them. Caracalla also turned around, gestured to Crimson, and then followed.
"..."
"Skin..."
Red and Pikachu exchanged a glance, both seeing the other's confusion, and then shook their heads slightly.
They followed quietly.
After passing through this tunnel, we arrived at the back of the Pokémon Tower, at one of the rock walls of the Rocky Mountain Tunnel.
There's a large hole in this landslide; clearly, it's a nest, and the arrival of the Caracalla here signifies...
"This is... Caracalla's... lair?"
Following the Crimson Cub and the two wild Cubs, we arrived at this place. Looking at the nest and the Cubs, we realized where we were.
Unfortunately, due to Team Rocket's destruction, the depths of this nest were buried, and the surrounding area was on the verge of collapse.
It's supposed to be a nest, but it offers absolutely no protection...
"..."
Gazing at the nest, Caracalla remained speechless for a long time, silently staring at the nest that could collapse at any moment.
Seemingly having made up his mind, he gripped the thick bone in his hand, pointed in a direction with the small bone stick towards the two wild carala caralas, and cried out, "Crack!"
"Click~ woo?"
The two wild caralas looked at each other, then called out to each other in confusion.
"Click..."
Cubone didn't respond, but after calling out once, it ran towards the other side, towards the back door of the Pokémon Tower.
The other two wild 887-born kalahari naturally followed suit upon seeing this.
Where is that guy going?
Seeing this, Red was naturally very puzzled. After exchanging a glance with Pikachu, he immediately followed.
With Cubone as the leader, the two wild Cubones followed behind, and Crimson quietly followed as well. They returned to the Pokémon Tower through the other back door.
Then, they went down a staircase through a hole and came to a corridor with walls on both sides and no way to go anywhere.
Or rather, this isn't a corridor, it's just the inside of a staircase!
There was no sign of damage here, which clearly meant that Team Rocket, who had previously occupied this area, had not discovered it.
Not far ahead, inside the staircase, two long wooden planks served as doors, blocking the sides. Countless straws were laid out inside, clearly indicating that this was also a nest.
However, the nest was intact and in a very secluded location, so there was no need to worry about anyone discovering it.
This nest, however, is a very important place for the Caracalla who brought them here!
Because this is its mother, the place where it was born and raised!
This is Caracalla's home!

"Click~ Whoosh~~~!"
"Click~ woo~ click~!"
The two wild caralas, after being given permission, happily pounced into the haystack above their nest.
The joy of not having to worry about finding a place to stay in the future made them very happy, and they rolled around merrily on the haystack.
"...Click!"
Caracara stood at the entrance of the nest, quietly watching the joyful creatures. After a moment of silence, she sighed softly and turned to walk towards Crimson.
"Click!"
Dragging the thick bone, Caracara came to Crimson's side, pointed at the ladder with the small bone club in his hand, and called out to Crimson.
"...is it okay?"
Red looked at the happy wild Cara Cara in the nest, bent down and squatted down, looking at Cara Cara and asking.
"Click?"
Upon hearing this, Karakara was slightly taken aback.
"Give them your nest..."
Red looked up at the wild Caracara in the den and spoke to it:
"Isn't this the home you lived in with your mother, Gala Gala?"
"..."
Faced with the crimson question, Karakara paused slightly, recalling the scene of their first meeting, before making a decision.
He swung the small bone club in his hand, pointed it at the crimson figure, and shouted with a determined look, "Crack!"
"I see..."
Upon hearing this, Crimson looked into Caracara's resolute eyes and immediately understood, murmuring:
"Now that you're with us, so... you don't need a home anymore?"
"is it?"
His expression changed.
This little guy wants to rely on himself and stand up on his own...
"Let's go!"
Knowing Cubone's determination, Crimson put aside her thoughts, stood up, and greeted Pikachu and Cubone.
They then led them away from there, back to the Pokémon Tower, and continued their journey toward the top!
...
...
Pokémon Tower, at the top!
“Karakara’s mother…”
Red, carrying a bunch of yellow chrysanthemums, led Cubone and Pikachu to a grave that Old Man Fuji had built for Marowak.
"We've defeated the Rockets so many times already, they'll be beaten sooner or later!"
Red knees knelt down and placed the yellow chrysanthemums in his hands on them, joining Cara Cara in paying tribute to the departed Gala Cara.
"And...Karakara will also live with us from now on, so you don't need to worry."
"Although I cannot replace its mother, I promise I will never abandon it!"
"That's it, please!"
After saying this, Chi Hong clasped his hands together, raised them to his nose, closed his eyes, and silently recited the mantra in his heart.
"Click?"
Seeing this, Caracara followed suit, clasping his hands together, closing his eyes, and silently reciting what he wanted to say.
"Pikachu!"
The same goes for Pikachu.
