Gardevoir wakes up shortly after Alex healed her injury.
She showed a small smile but for Alex, it looked as if she wanted to hide her sadness and disappointment from Alex and the other Pokemon.
Alex looked serious when he said, "We're taking a 10-minute break."
"Gardevoir come here please, I have to talk to you."
Gardevoir and Alex went together to a sunny place with beautiful surroundings. Area1 # is really very peaceful and safe compared to other areas on this island.
Alex sat on the grass and looked with a mild expression at the beautiful surroundings.
Gardevoir said nothing and sat down next to Alex with a slightly confused expression. Though she can guess what Alex wants to talk to her about, she didn't think the conversation would start that way.
After a few seconds of silence, Alex said quietly, "Kid, what's wrong?"
Gardevoir, hearing this and feeling the feelings of concern in Alex's words, suppressed her sad thoughts and put on a happy expression as she said, "Father, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."
Alex who heard these words showed a disappointed expression.
Although Alex didn't say anything, Gardevoir felt Alex's disappointment. The thought that her father is disappointed with her almost breaks her heart.
She wished at this moment that she couldn't feel her father's feelings so that she wouldn't feel those painful feelings.
Gardevoir couldn't hold back her emotions anymore when she said with almost tears "Father, please don't give up on me."
Alex showed an angry expression when he said out loud, "You stupid child, who told you that I was going to give you up. That you can even imagine these things makes me very angry."
Gardevoir started to cry as she said, "But father, I can feel that you are disappointed with how bad I have fought. Please don't lie to me. I can feel these feelings."
Alex gave a confused expression when he said "disappointed with how you fought?"
Then he gave a small smile as he said, "Gardevoir, I don't care how you fought in the last fight. As long as you recognize your mistakes and you try to learn from them what you did wrong, I will remember this fight in a positive light."
Alex showed a serious expression when he said, "Gardevoir, I'm not disappointed with you, I'm disappointed with myself. The fact that you've tried to hide your emotions from me shows that I'm not a good father."
Gardevoir had a confused, happy, and sour expression when Alex said that.
She showed a slightly angry expression when she said "Father, you are a very good father. Please don't insult yourself"
Alex, who felt the angry expression of Gardevoir for the first time, started to laugh as he stroked Gardevoir's head.
Gardevoir pout at her father for showing a happy expression on her anger.

Alex stop to laugh after a few seconds and said seriously "Gardevoir, I can understand that you want to be an adult now, but you have to know that you will always be my child to me."
"You can talk to me about anything. Please don't start hiding your emotions."
Then he said in a joke-like tone "I don't want to guess the emotions as I do with Ditto"
Gardevoir gave a small smile as she said, "Father that's not very friendly. Ditto is much more open now than at the beginning."
"Yeah, I know. That was just a little joke."
Gardevoir got up from the grass and said with a smile "Thank you, father."
Alex also got up and said, "Gardevoir, we're a family. Try to worry less about things like that."
"Ok father"
After that, she showed a nervous expression.
Alex who saw this said, "Gardevoir what's going on?"
Gardevoir suppressed her nervous expression and said seriously "Father, can you tell me where mother is?"
Alex, who remembers the last time he answered this question, had a treacherous expression when he said "I'll explain it to you when we leave this island. I have to show you a place to explain it better"
Gardevoir nodded only and did not ask why her father suddenly became so sad. She didn't want to think about it right now.
...
When Alex and Gardevoir came back to the group, everyone in the group gave Gardevoir a concerned expression.
Even proud Pokemon like Crobat and Scizor showed slight concern.
Gardevoir, feeling the concern of her family, felt an indescribable feeling of happiness.
She felt that she had a wonderful family.
