Fang Yuan gave it some thought.
In the end, he decided to play the villain for once.
By now, in Shaymin's eyes, he was probably a "big bad villain," right?
Next, in order to slap this villain in the face, Shaymin would step out of her comfort zone under Luo Ke's guidance and become even better.
Only after that, when Venusaur and Shaymin finally ended up together, would they truly be a perfect match!
Unlike Milotic and Dragonite, who were already outstanding in their own right, Venusaur and Shaymin both still had room to grow.
Fang Yuan had really gone to great lengths for them.
"Isn't this more passionate than just getting together right away and going back to the institute to be gardeners together?"
"Vena!"
Venusaur was on the verge of tears. There was nothing wrong with retiring to the mountains and planting flowers and grass with the Pokémon it loved.
As Teacher Luo Ke put it, this was "Entering Dao Through Love" and "tempering one's State of Mind through a mortal life."
Before Fang Yuan could say anything, Dragonite suddenly ran over with a smug "Dnite!!" It grinned as it patted its little brother Venusaur's body, solemnly lecturing it.
"Dnite!! (Love that has never faced trials will not last.)"
"Dnite!! (Things obtained too easily are often quickly taken for granted.)"
Venusaur: T_T Vena...
The logic made sense.
And it quite liked the whole Heaven's Proud Daughter vibe Shaymin had.
But it really could not rest easy handing Shaymin over to Luo Ke... Was that really reliable? Was it?
"Vena... (It should be reliable, right?)"
As Venusaur imagined the future, Dragonite secretly leaned over and whispered into Fang Yuan's ear.
"Dnite... (Isn't the size difference between Venusaur and Shaymin a little too big?)"
Dragonite had wanted to ask this
