After a short rest in Kameyama, Oshawott had somehow managed to make it to Tsu, the prefectural capital of Mie as he strolled through the Kitabatake Family Residence Gardens to see the beauty it had to offer.

"Wow…this is all so amazing!" Oshawott said as he stood under an archway of leaves and flowers as he strolled through a number of castles and historical sights. "This trip has been amazing so far. I'm glad Inari suggested it. Hmm…hard to believe…its been so long since I met her." he said looking up.

In the past, during the Perfect Link Tournament Saga…

Oshawott walked through a vast forest as he soon looked up as soon as he heard screaming before looking ahead as something hit the ground ahead. "Whoa!" he said running towards them. Before him lied a Zorua as it was on the ground. "Hey…are you okay? C'mon! Wake up now!" Oshawott begged.

The Zorua soon began to open her eyes as she looked at him.

"Oh! You're okay!" Oshawott said before the Zorua went and headbutted him in surprise. "Ow…that really hurt." Oshawott said rubbing his head.

"Oh. I do…wait…you…you just talked! A talking Pokemon?!" the Zorua said in surprise before looking at herself. "Oh…right. Suppose that makes sense."

"Of course I can talk! All Pokemon can!" Oshawott said. "So…let's start with a name."

"My name is Inari. A servant to the Crimson Fox Clan." the Zorua said.

"Inari…that's a really mystical name. I'm Oshawott." Oshawott said.

After the intro, Inari had told Oshawott her story. About being a human from another world, searching for her friend and being an assassin. However, despite this, Oshawott did not fear the girl. In fact, he was more than interested in being near her.

"Hmm…hey…Inari…I wanna show you something." Oshawott said as he lead the way.

He soon took her to massive plot of land, this land later becoming the entire ship for Ginhana Sky. "This place is going to be…my Paradise!" Oshawott said.

"Paradise?" Inari asked.

"I wanna go on a lot of adventures and meet Pokemon just like me. We'll work hard together and life will be really great." Oshawott said as he marched up an hill in this land. "Everyday will be full of fun and excitement. I may make mistakes here and there, but this will be a wonderful place, like living in Paradise. A real Paradise…that…IS MY DREAM!"

Inari couldn't help but be taken aback by how Oshawott was very much like the friend she was searching for.

"So…how about it? You don't have a way to return to the human world right now…so…will you stay here for now…and make Paradise with me?" Oshawott asked.

"Yes…of course I will." Inari said with a smile.

"Yes! Thank you!" Oshawott cheered as they danced.

And that was how the Paradise team was born. Oshawott and Inari made many friends along the way. They enlisted the friend duo of Emolga and Dunsparce. Convinced Virizion to change her views on friends, recruited the gate researchers Espeon and Umbreon. And after completing their quest to restore friendship and bonds before destroying the icy core, enlisted Keldeo and Hydreigon. However, Inari's time in that land was finished so she had to return. Memories of her were supposed to fade in time, but they did not, they continued to stay lit in the hearts of all the friends she made in that world, especially Oshawott. It was awhile after the Olympic Games in Tokyo that Oshawott met Ginhana Sky who offered that they all merge into one team, one that Oshawott happily accepted if it would make Paradise grow.

End FLashback…

Oshawott couldn't help but smile upon thinking back to those days as he continued to trek throughout Tsu.
