Chapter 121: Evolution, Pidove in the Forest
Early in the morning, Bai Feng woke up early as usual. The other Pokémon also got busy with their own things, making the entire Fangxing Mountain lively early in the morning.
Bai Feng finished washing up, ate the Breakfast carefully prepared by Buneary and Hatterene, then walked out of the Courtyard and took a deep breath of the fresh morning Air. In an Instant, he became full of Spirit.
At this Time, the Sun had only just risen halfway. Fletchinder and Fletchling chirped as they flew across the Sky Above Bai Feng's Head, not forgetting to lower their Heads and greet him. By the Time Bai Feng wanted to wave back, they had already flown far away.
Just then, a gentle Wind blew across his face, and waves of refreshing Fragrance immediately assailed his nostrils. Bai Feng looked ahead and saw Floette and Flabébé happily dancing Above the Fairy Flower Field.
Among the flower bushes, Chikorita and Grookey were drilling around inside. Crisp laughter came from the dense Green Leaves. It turned out that Chikorita was teaching Grookey how to use Grassy Terrain!
As Chikorita spread out the Grassy Terrain, the Fairy Flower began to gently sway their branches and Leaves. All the Flower Buds bloomed in an Instant.
Immediately, the Flower Fragrance filling the Air became even richer.
"Hula~ Hula~"
"Labe~ Labe~"
"Labe~ Labe~"
...
The blooming of the Fairy Flower made the Floette and Flabébé laugh even happier.
One by one, they quickly shuttled through the flower bushes, and every now and then, they would lean close to a Flower to sniff it, then reveal an expression of intoxication.
At this Time, all the Fairy Flower seemed to connect into a whole amidst the joyful laughter of the Floette and Flabébé. Bai Feng vaguely saw a pink Thin Curtain appear Above the Flower Field.
The Thin Curtain was like a gauze scarf drifting in the Wind, gently swaying and swaying, dreamlike and illusory, seemingly real and fake.
Bai Feng thought he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes and found that the Thin Curtain flickered gently but did not disappear.
He wasn't seeing things.
The Floette and Flabébé shuttled back and forth in the Thin Curtain, but they seemed not to notice the existence of the Thin Curtain.
Just then, milky white light suddenly emitted from one of the Flabébé's bodies. The Floette and the other Flabébé immediately stopped in surprise and looked at it.
But immediately after, light also started emitting from the bodies of the other Flabébé one after another. For a moment, the area Above the Flower Field was enveloped in white light.
The Flabébé were going to Evolve!!!
The golden Sunshine was now cast upon the Flower Field, interacting with the Evolution Light of the Flabébé, forming a beautiful picture.
Chikorita and Grookey looked up at the Flabébé Evolving Above, their mouths widened in surprise.
After the Evolution Light disappeared, all the Flabébé successfully Evolved into Floette. For a moment, twelve Floette gathered together and happily danced the Round Dance in the Air.
Green Light Spots continuously fell from their bodies. The Fairy Flower bathed in the Light Spots bloomed even more brilliantly for a moment.
As the Flabébé finished Evolving, the Thin Curtain Above the Fairy Flower Field slowly disappeared. It had never appeared alone, as if everything Bai Feng saw was an illusion.
"Squeak squeak squeak~" Chikorita, you're amazing! Quickly teach me, teach me!
The Grookey, having come back to its senses, looked at Chikorita with an expression of worship. It thought that the Flabébé were able to Evolve because of Chikorita's use of Grassy Terrain.
「(°ヘ°)??? Chikorita had a face full of question marks. 'Am I that amazing?'
Bai Feng looked at Chikorita and Grookey chasing and playing in the Flower Field and shook his Head helplessly.
Just as he lifted his Footstep, preparing to go to the Orchard to help the Fruit Tree sort out Energy, a nimble figure suddenly darted past Bai Feng.
Bai Feng suddenly stopped his Footstep, and that figure also stopped.
It turned its Head to look at Bai Feng and gently licked its lips. Its pink little tongue curled up slightly, and a pair of green eyes seemed to have hooks, making Bai Feng's heart involuntarily shiver.
What's going on? How could he find a Pokémon sexy and Attract-ive!
Damn! Liepard, you used Attract on me, didn't you?
No! How could there be a Liepard here? Did Purrloin Evolve?
"You Evolved?" Bai Feng asked in surprise.
The Evolved Liepard's body size became much larger. Its height was almost up to Bai Feng's shoulder, completely Different from its previous small and cute appearance.
Its coat of purple spotted fur made its every move reveal a mature charm, coupled with those slightly upturned eyebrows and eyes, its sexiness index instantly soared!
But why would he, a Human, find a Liepard sexy? Bai Feng fiercely shook his Head.
Liepard leaped up and came to Bai Feng's side silently, then squatted in front of him, looking at Bai Feng again with a direct gaze, and didn't forget to lazily lick its own claws with its tongue.
"Meow~" Yes, I just Evolved this morning.
(＞＜)☆ After speaking, Liepard didn't forget to cast a Flirtatious Eyes at Bai Feng that seemed to stretch.
Bai Feng couldn't help but shiver again. "Then congratulations to you, but don't use Attract on me anymore, otherwise, I'll get angry!"
"Meow~"
Liepard gave a light laugh and quickly disappeared from in front of Bai Feng, vanishing into the Fruit Forest in the blink of an eye.
Bai Feng also shook his Head and entered the Fruit Forest to work. Around the Time it was approaching Noon, the Sky, which was originally clear, suddenly changed its face. Thick Dark Clouds covered the entire Sky.
Bai Feng, Primarina, and Vaporeon looked at the Sky at the same Time.
"Shawozi~" It's going to rain.
Vaporeon said.
"Shirai~ Shirai~" Let's go Home first, otherwise Bai Feng will become a soaking wet Blaziken later.
It and Vaporeon were Water-type Pokémon, so they were naturally not afraid of Rainwater, but Bai Feng was Different.
"Okay, let's go Home."
Hearing this, Bai Feng had no choice but to temporarily put down the work in his hands and run towards Home.
But before he even arrived Home, the Sky started drizzling Rainwater. Bai Feng immediately put a Psychic Barrier on himself, and all the Rainwater was blocked outside by the Psychic Barrier.
Recently, Bai Feng's Psychic Power training has progressed very Smoothly. Now, releasing a Psychic Barrier is no longer difficult for him.
After arriving Home, Bai Feng looked at the continuous light Rain, his heart full of worry.
Has the rainy weather been a bit too much lately? Currently, many Fruit Tree in the Orchard are in their Blooming Season. If it keeps raining like this, not only will the Flower be knocked off by the Rainwater, but Pollination work also cannot proceed Smoothly.
As expected, this Rain continued until evening before gradually stopping. Although it didn't rain heavily, raining continuously like this inevitably makes people feel irritable.
The Sky gradually darkened. Bai Feng stood at the Doorway of the Courtyard, spacing out. Just then, he suddenly noticed a Shooting Star flashing across the horizon.
Shooting Star?
Bai Feng quickly closed his eyes and made a wish.
I hope my Orchard has a great harvest, I hope all my Fruit Tree quickly transform to A-Grade, I hope my Berry sell well! I hope Bai Feng and Bai Ye are healthy, I hope the Pokémon at Home are safe and sound...
Wait, did I wish for too much? There was only one Shooting Star! Bai Feng was amused by himself. He actually started believing in this kind of Legend!
The Shooting Star appeared quickly and disappeared quickly, vanishing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Because of the Rain, it got dark exceptionally early today, so Buneary and Hatterene also moved Dinner Time forward.
The Family sat around the dining table, preparing to eat, but Bai Ye hadn't returned yet at this Time.
"Where's Mom? Why has she been coming back so late these past few days?" Bai Feng asked in confusion.
"Rim~ Rim~ Rimmu~" She should be back soon! Recently, she seems to be looking for strong opponents in the Forest, so sometimes she comes back a bit late.
Hatterene answered for Bai Ye. Bai Ye had already told it before going out.
Just fighting with the Talonflame Captain every day has gradually stopped satisfying Bai Ye. With Bai Feng's special care for it, its Strength and the Talonflame Captain's Strength gradually developed a gap.
In order to seek a breakthrough, Bai Ye has recently often asked the Talonflame Captain to carry her away from Fangxing Mountain to the distant Forest to find stronger opponents.
The further into the Forest one goes, the higher the probability of strong Pokémon appearing there is.
"Looks like Mom has been working hard lately. It seems I need to work harder too, work hard to earn Money!" Bai Feng declared with high fighting spirit.
"Shirai~"
"Aibo~"
"Yo~"
...
The Pokémon also joined in the fun one after another.
Just as Bai Feng and the others were talking about Bai Ye, Bai Ye returned covered in dirt. Its body was covered in Soil and grass clippings, and the Soil was still wet!
"Mom, you're back!" Bai Feng stood up and said, "You're not injured, are you?"
"Gardevoir~ Gardevoir~" Don't worry, I'm fine. I met a good opponent today and had a great fight!
After speaking, Bai Ye hurried back to the Room. When it came out again, its entire body was clean. So everyone happily started eating Dinner.
After Dinner, Bai Feng gave his Pokémon a Healing Treatment. Mom Bai Ye received special care because she worked hard today.
After finishing, everyone went to Bed.
——————
At night, in a Forest very, very far from Fangxing Mountain, a Shooting Star suddenly streaked across the Sky, and immediately, a Meteorite fell into a Deep Pit.
Because the Meteorite's volume was not large, plus it was night, it didn't cause any big commotion. Although some Wild Pokémon were suddenly woken up from their sleep, it was pitch black outside, no one knew what happened and no one was willing to go out and check.
Not far from the Meteorite pit in the same Forest, inside the Tree Cave of a Tree, a round and chubby Pidove was nestled inside, sleeping soundly.
When the first ray of Sunshine in the early morning shone into the Tree Cave, the Pidove impatiently rolled over and buried its Head in the dry Grass beneath it.
"Coo coo coo~" Ah ah... That's right!
The Pidove suddenly woke up. It remembered that the Berry might ripen today. It had to hurry over, otherwise, if it went late, the Berry might be picked by other Pokémon.
The Pidove quickly climbed up, washed its face with its Wings, then flapped its Wings and flew out of the Tree Cave.
It had just rained last night. At this Time, sparkling Water droplets were still hanging on the Leaves. Most Pokémon had not yet woken up at this Time.
Breathing the fresh Air of the early morning, the Pidove thought of being able to eat that long-awaited Berry soon. It couldn't help but speed up its flight.
How the Pidove appeared in this Forest, it didn't know itself. It was born in a Bush in this Forest.
As soon as it was born, the Pidove faced a very cruel reality: it was targeted by an Ekans.
And the Ekans's purpose was to eat it.
Although the Pidove had just been born at that Time, after meeting the Ekans's greedy gaze, it instantly understood the other party's plan.
In this Forest far from the Human World, among Pokémon, due to the scarcity of Food, devouring each other is a very common Matter.
The Pidove shakily stood up. In the Instant the Ekans pounced over, it rolled over, barely dodging the Ekans's pounce and bite.
The Ekans naturally wouldn't easily let go of this Food that was right at its mouth. So it twisted its body and attacked again.
The instinctive desire to survive made the Pidove subconsciously run away. Stumbling and tripping, the Pidove managed to dodge the Ekans's second attack.
But Ekans is a very patient Pokémon. It will absolutely not give up until it gets its targeted prey.
So a chase began.
The Pidove ran while flapping its Wings, until it accidentally saw a Fletchling flying over its Head. It instantly understood something, so it shakily flew up into the Sky.
The Ekans couldn't fly and could only watch the Pidove fly away.
Although it had passed the temporary crisis, to live in this Forest, there were still many, many difficulties that the Pidove needed to overcome.
Food, shelter, hunting by other Pokémon... These constantly troubled the Pidove.
However, although the Pidove often encountered danger, it was always lucky enough to turn danger into safety. Sometimes even it itself found it incredible.
Of course, also because of these hardships, the Pidove, which had just been born not long ago, grew up rapidly. In order to live better, it even shamelessly followed other Pokémon, asking them for advice and learning Moves.
Don't look at the Pidove's young age now, but it has already learned multiple Moves including Gust, Quick Attack, Air Cutter, Shadow Clone, Steel Wing, Assurance, Tailwind, etc. Its Combat Power has greatly increased.
Not long ago, it just defeated the Ā Bǎi Guài (Arbok) that had always coveted it. One Assurance Move directly severed the opponent's neck.
When the Ā Bǎi Guài (Arbok) died, the Pidove was still a bit slow to react. It didn't expect itself to hit the opponent's vital point so easily.
Thinking back, when it was fighting with other Pokémon, it also seemed very easy to hit the opponent's vital point, especially when using Assurance.
The death of the Ā Bǎi Guài (Arbok) actually didn't Change the Pidove's situation much. There are still many Creature in the Forest that feed on Bird Pokémon.
However, the Pidove's Personality is very optimistic. No matter under what conditions, it can live happily every day.
With a joyful mood, the Pidove quickly arrived at its destination. But when it looked up at the Fruit Tree, it was instantly dumbfounded.
Where is my Berry? Where is my Berry? Who stole my Berry?
