Chapter 156: Florges and Bayleef
The response to Primarina's livestream this time was enthusiastic. Their livestream videos were reposted by Fans elsewhere, attracting the attention of a large number of people, who then continued to repost them. In just a few days, the Primarina Band suddenly became popular online.
Also becoming incredibly popular was Primarina's Exclusive Composer, Nie Zi!
In just a few days, the Primarina Band's Fans on the Live Streaming Platform soared to nearly ten million. Watching the daily fluctuating number of Fans, Primarina was so overjoyed its heart felt like it was flying.
Holding its Phone, it ran to Bai Feng's side and showed him its results. Bai Feng praised them heartily.
Bai Feng, of course, knew how popular the Primarina livestream had become in the past few days, because he had also secretly followed the Primarina Band's Account on the Live Streaming Platform. It was just that Primarina and the others didn't know.
"Although the Livestream response here is good, you mustn't get arrogant!" Bai Feng said to Primarina. "Your path has just begun, and there are still many difficulties to overcome. You probably don't want to be popular for just a short Time, right? So it's okay to be happy, but you must keep a steady mindset."
Primarina was indeed a bit carried away, but hearing Bai Feng's words, its Head instantly calmed down. That's right, they had just begun, and the road ahead was still very, very long.
At this moment, Bai Feng said again, "Currently, your Band is still only at the artistic level, have you thought about developing it further? Integrate your sound with Chatot, Altaria, Kricketune, and Rillaboom's sounds to form a tactical system that can play a huge role in battle."
This statement by Bai Feng, of course, wasn't a sudden whim. In fact, when he first helped Primarina form the Band, that was the idea he had in mind.
The reason he didn't bring up this idea at the beginning was mainly because he wanted Primarina to first fall in love with its own Band. Only by truly investing love and passion would it be more motivated, independent, and creative in developing its Band.
Bai Feng's words successfully made Primarina fall into deep thought. Holding its Phone, it quietly lowered its Head, and Bai Feng didn't know what it was thinking about.
Bai Feng patted it. "Alright, go think about it yourself. The Band is yours, and what it ultimately becomes depends on your ideas."
"Sirène~"
Primarina nodded, then left with a thoughtful expression.
After Primarina left, Bai Feng continued to comb Energy into the Star Peach Fruit Tree Roots, while Chikorita kept using Grassy Terrain around the Tree Root.
After the Efforts of these past few days, Bai Feng had successfully helped the Star Peach Fruit Tree Roots repair a small Part of the Tree Diagram. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Bai Feng felt that the Energy inside the Tree Root seemed much more active.
After finishing this, Bai Feng and Chikorita walked Home together. They just happened to see the Floette returning in groups from the Fruit Forest. Seeing this, Bai Feng quickly called out to them.
"Floette!!!"
The Floette stopped abruptly in mid-air. After seeing Bai Feng wave, they floated over one by one.
"Didn't I promise before to help you evolve into Florges? It just so happens that I got a Light Stone in the Galar Region. Who wants to go first?"
"Floette~ Floette~"
"Floette~ Floette~"
...
Hearing Bai Feng's words, the twelve Floette all let out cries of surprise, looking at Bai Feng with sparkling Eyes.
After some discussion, one Floette was pushed by the other Floette to fly to Bai Feng's side. It was the Floette Leader.
"Since you've decided, let's begin."
Bai Feng led the Floette to the Fairy Flower Field and instructed Chikorita to go Home and retrieve the Light Stone he had placed in the Room drawer.
"Are you ready?" Bai Feng took the Light Stone Chikorita brought back, looked at the Floette Leader, and asked.
"Floette~" Ready.
The Floette Leader nodded with surging emotions.
Hearing this, Bai Feng handed the Light Stone in his hand to the Floette Leader.
The Floette Leader carefully held the Light Stone in its palm. The next second, the Light Stone emitted a strong white light. The light continuously extended, quickly climbed up Floette's arms and spread throughout its entire Body, finally wrapping Floette in a white Light Cocoon.
"Floette~ Floette~"
Seeing this scene, the remaining eleven Floette all let out exclamations and began to spin and dance around the Floette Leader.
Inside the Light Cocoon, Floette's figure began to continuously grow taller. The Fairy Flower it was holding disappeared, its arms became slender, and it slowly descended from the air into the Fairy Flower Field.
"Floette~ Floette~"
"Floette~ Floette~ Floetteette~"
"Floette~ Floette~ Floetteette~"
...
At this moment, the Floette, surrounding the Floette Leader who was still evolving, began singing a song of unclear meaning, while twisting their small Bodies and performing a mysterious dance.
Slowly, colored Light Spots simultaneously flew out from their Bodies and from the Fairy Flower Field, turning into a colored ribbon that flew into the Light Cocoon wrapping the Floette Leader.
The Evolution reached its end.
"Florges~"
With a cry, the Light Cocoon burst open, and a brand new Pokémon appeared before Bai Feng.
This Pokémon overall looked like a humanoid Flower. Its Head was wrapped in blue flower spikes, its Body was similar to a Plant's stem and Leaf, it was about 1.1 meters tall, and it looked intelligent and elegant.
This is the Garden Pokémon - Florges!
Florges comes in five colors: red, yellow, blue, orange, and white, which is determined by the color of the Fairy Flower they held before Evolution.
This Florges that the Floette Leader evolved into was blue.
Slowly opening its Eyes, Florges looked left and right at its new Body. Its Eyes were full of surprise and Excitement.
It finally evolved into Florges!
"Florges~"
Florges spread its arms, and a green Energy wave rippled out from its Body. The next second, Bai Feng and the others were in a Grassy Terrain.
"Florges~"
Florges's arms waved again, and scattered colored Light Spots were sprinkled out by it, falling into the Fairy Flower bushes.
In an Instant, all the Fairy Flowers bloomed completely. At the same time, a peculiar Power was fed back from the Fairy Flowers to Florges's Body.
"Florges~"
Florges closed its Eyes and let out groans from its mouth, almost the same reaction as when Bai Feng gave it a Healing Treatment. It was absorbing Power from the Flowers.
After evolving into Florges, the Talent of a Garden Controller truly manifested.
When Florges opened its Eyes again, the Grassy Terrain slowly disappeared. Bai Feng smiled and congratulated it. "Congratulations, Florges. You not only successfully evolved, but you've also become much stronger."
"Florges~ Florges~ Florges~" Bai Feng, thank you. From now on, let's work hard together to make the Orchard even more prosperous.
Florges extended its right hand towards Bai Feng, making a gesture to shake hands.
"Okay, let's work hard together!" Bai Feng tightly held Florges's soft little hand.
"Floette~ Floette~"
"Floette~ Floette~"
...
The Floette also flew over one after another to congratulate Florges. Their gazes towards Florges were full of envy.
Seeing this, Bai Feng said to everyone, "Don't worry, everyone will have the Opportunity to evolve later. I will continue to make an Effort!"
The Floette all made cheering gestures towards Bai Feng.
After Floette evolved into Florges, not only did its Innate Ability become stronger, but it also learned several new Moves.
For example, the Grass-type ultimate Move Solar Beam, Photosynthesis and Wish which can restore Stamina, attack Moves Petal Dance and Petal Blizzard, new Terrain Moves like Misty Terrain, etc.
It demonstrated them all to Bai Feng one by one.
When Bai Feng returned Home, Lunch time had already passed. Lopunny glared at Bai Feng with an angry expression.
"Lopunny~ Lopunny~ Lopunny~" Lunch is cold and you're just coming back! You're such a big person now, do I still need to invite you to eat?
"Hahaha..." Bai Feng chuckled. "Today Floette evolved into Florges, so I was delayed a bit."
Hearing this, Lopunny only then put away its angry expression.
"Lopunny~ Lopunny~" Since that's the case, then today is forgiven. From now on, when it's time to eat, you must come back on Time!
"Definitely, definitely." Bai Feng nodded repeatedly.
Hearing this, Lopunny only then took the Dishes to reheat them.
After Lunch, Bai Feng took Chikorita into the Room and carried it to the Bed. "Chikorita, are you ready?"
"Chiko~ Chiko~"
Chikorita nodded excitedly and nervously.
Bai Feng was going to help Chikorita Light the last segment of its Hidden Energy Circuit today.
Originally, last night was the day Bai Feng helped the Pokémon Light their Hidden Energy Circuits, but Chikorita's Situation was special. It only had this last segment left, and after Lighting it, it could evolve.
Because it was too Excited, Chikorita told Bai Feng it needed psychological Preparation. Only then did Bai Feng leave it alone, giving it one night's Time for Preparation.
"Shall we begin then?"
After injecting Chikorita with the Anesthetic, Bai Feng placed his hand on Chikorita's tender Back, controlling the Golden Finger Energy to invade its Body little by little.
The remaining Part of Chikorita was not much to begin with. Soon, Bai Feng finished the work.
After an unknown amount of Time, the effect of the Medicine on Chikorita's Body wore off. Bai Feng helped it remove the Everstone.
The Instant the Everstone was removed, Chikorita's entire Body emitted a strong light. Its entire Body was wrapped in white light.
In the white light, Chikorita's originally small Body continuously grew taller and larger. In the blink of an Eye, it grew to Bai Feng's shoulder height.
Chikorita's Development was indeed good. Generally, Bayleef's height is around 1.2 meters, while Bai Feng's, which had just evolved, was already nearly 1.6 meters.
"Bay! Bay!"
With a howl, the white light wrapping Chikorita's Body dissipated, and a brand new Pokémon appeared before Bai Feng.
This Pokémon looked like a Dragon, had tender yellow skin, around its neck was a circle of round, slightly curled Tree Leaves, and on its Head was a sickle-shaped Leaf with a Gap.
This is Chikorita's Evolution form - Bayleef!
The moment Bayleef appeared, Bai Feng Discovered that the entire Room was filled with a fresh Fragrance.
Chikorita's Body was already very fragrant before, but unexpectedly, Bayleef's Body was even more fragrant, and its Fragrance was even more lingering and lasting.
"Bay! Bay!"
The moment Bayleef successfully evolved, it pounced towards Bai Feng.
Bayleef, whose size had increased, naturally also increased in weight. Caught off guard, Bai Feng was directly knocked onto the Ground by it.
Getting closer, Bai Feng Discovered that the Fragrance on Bayleef's Body was even stronger. He felt as if he was in a Flower bush.
However, the Fragrance on Bayleef's Body was completely different from Flower Fragrance. It was simply the Fragrance of Tree Leaves, a bit similar to the Scent of vanilla.
"Hahaha..." Bai Feng patted Bayleef's neck. "Bayleef, get up quickly, you're crushing me! You didn't happen to learn Body Slam, did you?"
Hearing this, Bayleef quickly got up from Bai Feng and grabbed Bai Feng's collar with its mouth, directly lifting him up as well.
Bai Feng: ...
After Evolution, its Strength really did increase a lot!
Bai Feng's words turned out to be prophetic. Bayleef's Strength not only increased, but it also indeed learned the Move Body Slam.
Besides this, it also learned Aromatherapy.
"Bayleef, quickly use Aromatherapy for me to see." Bai Feng said Excitedly. As for Body Slam, let's forget about it for now.
"Bay! Bay!"
Bayleef nodded. Its Leaf on its neck trembled slightly, and clusters of light pink mist then drifted out.
The Instant the mist appeared, Bai Feng only felt the Room filled with Fragrance. He took a deep breath, only felt his Body become light and airy, having a feeling of old ailments being swept away.
"Not bad, not bad." Bai Feng walked over and patted Bayleef's neck with satisfaction. "Let's go outside and try the Effect of you using Grassy Terrain!"
Compared to Aromatherapy, Bai Feng was still more concerned about what Changes there were in Chikorita's Innate Ability after evolving into Bayleef.
You know, Bayleef's (Meganium's) Innate Ability can bring Withered Flora back to life!
"Bay! Bay!"
Bayleef nodded happily and followed Bai Feng to the back of the house, which was in front of the Star Peach Fruit Tree Roots.
"Bayleef, try it on this!" Bai Feng said, pointing at the Tree Root.
"Bay~ Bay~"
Bayleef stepped forward. It gently Stomped its foot, and a green ripple spread out, instantly surrounding the Tree Root.
As the green Energy rippled back and forth on the Tree Root, Bai Feng seemed to hear something whispering.
No! That was the sound of Grass and Plants sprouting, of all things growing.
Then Bai Feng saw a magical scene.
On one side of the Star Peach Fruit Tree Roots, a small green sprout slowly poked its Head out from the brown bark.
Under the repeated washing of Bayleef's Grassy Terrain, the sprout grew bigger and bigger. In the blink of an Eye, it grew into a small Sapling about one meter tall.
It's alive! It's really alive!
Bai Feng was incredibly shocked. Although this wasn't exactly bringing back from the dead (the Tree Root itself wasn't dead yet), it was already amazing enough!
However, before Bai Feng could be happy, Bayleef's Grassy Terrain abruptly stopped, and Bayleef itself also fell onto the Ground with a thud.
It turned out that Bayleef had used too much Power, to the point where its Power was exhausted.
However, although the small Sapling stopped growing, it stood there vibrantly, full of green Vitality and vigorous Vitality. One could tell at a glance that it wouldn't easily die again.
