After taking the scenic route back home to Petalburg Woods, Shinobu decided to retreat to his estate. As a well studied doctor of Petalburg City, Shinobu had earned himself a beautiful home in the forest by tending to citizen's ailments. Always close with Pokemon, he preferred to live near Pokemon in the woods, even before he was a trainer, and he had his house maintained by a trained Mr. Mime. Mr. Mime did the shopping, the cleaning, the maintenance. He was a really well trained Pokemon, in fact he was gifted to Shinobu by a patient. As a doctor Shinobu lived comfortably before he became a trainer, but since he had left with his team to aquire the league badges, Shinobu hadn't been home much at all.He was eager to meet with Mr. Mime and see how his home was doing, and Shinobu rushed through the leafy trails of Petalburg, excited to be home and sleep in his own bed.

Walking up the verdant green path to his house, Shinobu noticed that Mr. Mime had kept excellent care of the rose bushes in his front yard. Those bushes were as old as Renji, the Riolu that Shinobu first partnered with. He prized those bushes over all else in his home. They were a symbol of his love for Pokemon. The red tin roof of the house was clean of algae and moss,and the siding was freshly painted. Mr. Mime had been doing a great job, he was a well respected member of Shinobu's family.

Scurrying along the trail were a plethora of Pokemon. Shinobu was pleased to see that the family of Rattata he fed were still doing well, they had new babies. There were also flocks of Pidgey's in the trees, Shinobu's longtime friends. He had fed those pidgey's since he first moved into Petalburg, and they were a testament to his hardworking nature. Shinobu never let a day go by, without feeding those pidgey corn from his bag. The Pokemon were doing well, and Shinobu's home was doing well too. The trainer's heart was overjoyed when he opened the front door and called to Mr. Mime, "I'm home!"

Surprised by the sound of Shinobu's voice, Mr. Mime squeezed out and flopped out of the chair he had been sitting in. The Pokemon clambered out to the front door, nervously smiling, excited to see his master. Shinobu reached out and gave Mr. Mime a big hug and then pulled out a Twisted Spoon he had found during his travels. "For you buddy." He said and handed the trinket over to his Pokemon.

After getting reaquintated with his home, and Mr. Mime, Shinobu went to the kitchen to get himself a snack. Mr. Mime baked the most delicious focaccia bread, and Shinobu loved his gluten. He ate a big chunk of bread and butter at his dining room table. Once his belly was all full of bread, Shinobu headed outside to clip a few roses. He planned on being at his estate for some time, at least two weeks, and he wanted fresh flowers in his kitchen while he was there. Taking a knife, Shinobu headed out to the front yard to cut himself some roses.
