Chapter Summaries

Luo Mu tested how Tapu Mumu’s combined Grassy Terrain accelerated the growth of his fruit trees, then used Dragonite’s Sunny Day to provide sunlight for the farm. At Thunderclap Lake, Growlithe prepared to challenge Poliwhirl to a rematch, with Luo Mu leaving the fight to their own judgment.

• Luo Mu measured the fruit trees after Eldegoss and Comfey used Tapu Mumu’s combined Grassy Terrain and found they had grown nearly a tenth taller.
• Luo Mu decided Eldegoss and the others could use Grassy Terrain twice daily, then brought Dragonite over to help the trees receive sunlight.
• Dragonite used Sunny Day over the farm, and Eldegoss, Comfey, and Smoliv basked in the sunlight while Serperior anticipated using Solar Beam.
• Luo Mu went to Thunderclap Lake, where Growlithe challenged Poliwhirl to a rematch after training with Kukui’s Lycanroc.
• Luo Mu told Growlithe and Poliwhirl he would give neither side commands and that they would have to judge the battle for themselves.

Luo Mu watched Growlithe defeat Poliwhirl in a revenge battle, then brought both Pokémon home for treatment. Comfey prepared to give them and Delibird Floral Aroma Therapy in a makeshift treatment room.

• Growlithe caught Poliwhirl off guard with a Flame Fang and Smack Down combo, then defeated it with Double-Edge despite taking damage from Water Pulse.

• Delibird, whose feathers had grown back, walked over and clung to Luo Mu's leg, prompting him to suppress his laughter at its clingy behavior.
• Luo Mu asked Comfey to give Floral Aroma Therapy to the three Pokémon, and Comfey led them to a room Luo Mu had turned into a makeshift clinic.

Luo Mu used Comfey’s Aromatherapy to ease Delibird’s trauma and planned to take it to Casseroya Lake during a forecast thunderstorm in a week. He decided to search for Combee honey to make Comfey a treat, but an excited visitor arrived just as he was leaving.

• Luo Mu settled Comfey and Delibird into their nests and decided to search the wilderness for Combee honey.
• Luo Mu packed his supplies and opened the door, where an excited visitor exclaimed over his farm.

Nemona visited Luo Mu to ask for help catching a Pokémon, so he took her into the grasslands while searching for Combee. They encountered a hostile Kricketune, and Nemona asked to battle it before deciding whether to catch it.

• Luo Mu and Nemona followed a Combee into the forest and discovered a hive with at least a hundred Combee and a Vespiquen guarding it.
• Luo Mu told Growlithe, Fidough, and Pawmo to protect Nemona, then set out with Luxray.

Luo Mu and Luxray negotiated with Vespiquen to exchange Pokémon Food for honey, then agreed to catch the thief raiding her hive. After identifying bear Pokémon as the likely culprit, Luo Mu planned to use honey as bait and Luxray to intercept it.

• Vespiquen ordered the Combee to let Luo Mu and Luxray approach, then led them to the damaged honey stores.
• Luo Mu offered Pokémon Food in exchange for honey, and Vespiquen asked him to catch the unknown thief in return for future honey.
• Luo Mu examined the damage and footprints, concluding that a bear Pokémon was stealing the honey around dusk.
• Nemona agreed to help, and Luo Mu proposed baiting the thief with honey while Pawmo waited nearby and Luxray prepared to strike.
• Luo Mu reassured Nemona and Vespiquen that Luxray could reach the bait in an instant.

Luo Mu and Nemona caught the honey-stealing Teddiursa and resolved the dispute with Vespiquen’s colony through compensation. Nemona added Teddiursa as her second Pokémon, while Luo Mu gained honey and the colony’s friendship.

Luo Mu found a hidden letter from Olin in the Violet Book and suspected that the seeds she had given him might be Herba Mystica. After agreeing to train Arven and Nemona, he noticed Botan seemed troubled and resolved to address bullying by students in his Battle Studies class.

• Luo Mu asked the system how to grow the mysterious seeds and learned they needed daily water and fertilizer, repeated Grassy Terrain, regular Rototiller use, and sunlight after sprouting.
• Luo Mu reassured Serperior and the other Grass-type Pokémon that the seeds should sprout in about half a month.
• Luo Mu tended the thriving fields and reflected on the work of preparing meals for the farm’s Pokémon, while considering Moltres’s volcano as a possible source of Fire Stones for Growlithe.
• Luo Mu decided he needed a little steward and considered Mr. Mime, Indeedee, Audino, and Blissey for the role.
• Arven and Nemona arrived in the afternoon and woke Luo Mu from his nap; he hurriedly announced that he would begin their special training.

• Terry examined Luo Mu’s Eldegoss cotton floss and arranged to auction it in four portions at Zi Qin Market.
• Luo Mu accepted Terry’s offer to handle the auction without a commission and left Porto Marinada before it began.
• Luo Mu flew with Dragonite toward Casseroya Lake, where Dragonite eagerly anticipated meeting the three Dragonair who had cared for its Egg.
• Luo Mu recalled how he had helped the pink Dragonair drive Gyarados away from the island where the other Dragonair and Dragonite’s Egg were under threat.
• Luo Mu and Dragonite reached Casseroya Lake, where Luo Mu searched for the island and spotted Veluza and Tatsugiri in the water.

Luo Mu brought Dragonite to reunite with the Dragonair who had cared for its egg on an island in Casseroya Lake. When six Gyarados appeared to court the Dragonair, Dragonite recognized them as the ones who had bullied them and went to settle the score.

• Luo Mu and Dragonite found a pink Dragonair on the island, and Dragonair recognized Dragonite as the Pokémon Egg it had once cared for.
• Dragonite reunited affectionately with Dragonair, then accompanied it underwater to find the other two Dragonair.
• Luo Mu set up camp while Dragonite and Dragonair were underwater, and the four Pokémon later emerged from the lake together.
• Six Gyarados appeared and performed courting displays, while the Dragonair ignored them because they remembered the Gyarados had nearly harmed Dragonite's egg.
• Dragonite realized the Gyarados were the ones who had bullied the Dragonair, asked Luo Mu to let it fight them, and set off after receiving permission.

Luo Mu's Dragonite defeated six Gyarados after they mistook her for a mate, and the group shared dinner before resting at Casseroya Lake. A piercing howl woke them before dawn, and Luo Mu set out with Dragonite and Comfey to investigate the nearby Flower Field.

• A piercing howl woke Luo Mu before dawn, and he took Dragonite and Comfey to investigate while asking the Dragonair to watch Delibird.

Luo Mu interrupted Lycanroc’s attack on two Deerling who had stood their ground while the herd fled, then offered them a place with him after Comfey healed them. The Deerling had not yet answered when the chapter ended.

• Luo Mu spotted Lycanroc chasing the Sawsbuck Herd and Deerling Herd toward the mainland, while two Deerling stayed behind to confront it.

• Comfey healed the two Deerling, and Luo Mu invited them to come with him if they had nowhere else to go.

Luo Mu prepared Delibird to confront its fear of storms, then enlisted three Dragonair to gather lightning over Casseroya Lake. After Dragonite flew Delibird through the storm, Delibird’s fear gave way to a desire to master the sky, and it asked to try dodging lightning.

• The two Deerling chose to trust Luo Mu and stay with him after learning their companions had abandoned them.
• Luo Mu treated the Deerling’s wounds and encouraged Delibird to face its fear of storms that night.
