A Little Seed in the Grass

However, there were several valuable Herbs in that backpack, especially the Star Grass, which was priceless. Therefore, he was determined to get the backpack back.

"Skiploom, Misdreavus."

Dian immediately prepared to retrieve his backpack, relying on the unique pollen that the Skiploom had just scattered. "Can you Perception it, Skiploom?"

"Hana!"

The Skiploom closed its eyes, the flower on its head slowly rotated, then twitched its nose and confidently responded with a sound.

Dian immediately nodded. "Misdreavus, let's go. Take advantage of the calm wind and chase after them immediately."

Relying on pollen to mark pollen is effective for a short period of time, but it will probably become ineffective over a longer period of time, especially since this is a plain where the Gust very quickly, and there are definitely rivers nearby.

"Dream."

The Misdreavus nodded, then immediately followed the Skiploom with the Princess in pursuit.

After running into the mountain crevice, the Kecleon immediately jumped down several protruding stone steps, then slid across a slope and arrived at the front of a Forest.

"Oh!"

It chirped softly.

Sha sha sha...

A large ear peeked out from a clump of grass, followed by a round eye. "Ta-qiu!"

Little Sentret immediately leaped out of the bushes, ran to the Kecleon carrying the backpack, and covered its mouth, giggling.

Seeing its companion, the Kecleon clapped its hands and started dancing, looking very happy.

"Ta-qiu!"

Sentret suddenly pricked up its ears and shouted.

"Re!?!"

Upon hearing its companion's urgent voice, the Kecleon immediately put its backpack Ground-type, opened it, and looked inside. Disappointed, it pursed its lips, "Ugh, ugh..."

"Ta-qiu, ta-qiu."

Little Sentret up and glanced at it, then let out a disdainful squeak.

Snap!

With a flick of its tail, it knocked the backpack over to the ground.

Hmph, after all that effort, even going so far as to fawn over an ugly man, all I got was this junk—just some weeds and other commonplace stuff. What a waste of time and energy, so pointless.

The Kecleon shook its head, "Thunder, thunder."

The two mischievous children exchanged a glance and then ran into the Forest.

Almost as soon as the two mischievous kids made their escape, Dian, along with Misdreavus and Skiploom, landed.

"Dream!"

The Misdreavus quickly picked up her backpack, then nervously took out her own food. After checking it and finding that it hadn't been touched, she breathed a sigh of relief.

As for other things, well, she didn't really care.

Dian silently took the backpack from the Misdreavus, glanced at the Misdreavus who was happily rubbing against the Pokéblock bag, and thought that she was already on the road to Glutton and there was no turning back.

He checked his backpack, then his expression turned strange.

It wouldn't be surprising if some food was lost, but what's strange is that nothing was lost at all.

Dian's face suddenly darkened. Judging from the actions of those two, it was a premeditated gang crime with a clear division of labor and meticulous execution.

The little Sentret was responsible for attracting attention, while the Kecleon was responsible for taking the opportunity to steal the items and then quickly making its way away.

This simple and effective method of action has probably succeeded many times.

So, so...

Therefore, it's very likely that the other party isn't refusing to take anything, but rather that they don't value his possessions.

Of course, it's also possible that the other party simply enjoys the thrill of the theft.

"Hmm?"

Skiploom came over to take a look and found that nothing was missing, so why did her Trainer look so unhappy?

It suddenly seemed to smell something, "Ha!"

Skiploom looked at the nearby Forest, then rubbed against Dian's cheek, "Hana, hana."

Suddenly, the Misdreavus's eyes lit up, "Dream, dream!"

She suddenly threw the bag of Pokéblock in her hand to Dian, and then ran into the Forest first.

After calling out to the hall, the Skiploom quickly followed.

Dian loaded the Pokéblock and then followed closely behind.

Before entering the Forest, he looked up at the tracks he had left behind, estimating that Beedrill and Zubat would arrive soon.

Misdreavus and Skiploom darted quickly through the Forest, completely oblivious to the feelings of their Trainer running behind them.

Dian kept an eye on the overgrown vines and weeds under his feet, as well as the thorny branches.

And every now and then you'll see Spinarak playing an elevator game, Weedle eating grass leaves, Caterpie.

I really don't understand what's so fun about the Spinarak sliding down and back up the tree all day long, but people seem to enjoy it immensely and never get tired of it.

However, while they may be playing around and not care if people walk by, you'd better try cutting the wire.

Although the palace was not afraid, it did not want to cause trouble.

After passing through a vast expanse of lush green trees, he came to see a jungle covered with a green carpet, in the very center of which stood a huge ancient tree.

The ancient tree looked lush and verdant, and was extremely robust.

Swish!

"Dream!"

The Misdreavus darted out of the bushes with a happy expression, then looked around, but there was nothing there.

"Hana, hana."

The Skiploom floated out, and then it was eating a fresh, tender bud.

It sniffed again, then drifted to the old tree and called out.

Upon seeing this, the Misdreavus's eyes lit up and it flew over.

Just now, Skiploom said she smelled a very fragrant scent, which is why she rushed over so quickly.

When Dian emerged from the bushes, he was panting heavily. Humans really can't compare to Pokémon, or rather, walking on two legs can't compare to flying in the sky.

He took a deep breath, then carefully walked towards the Daiki not far away. He was no match for that flying Glutton; he was a land creature, facing far greater dangers.

Who knows, maybe one of those dangerous Pokémon will suddenly decide to sleep in the grass, just like that Prankster Venonat from before.

As it turned out, his choice was correct.

The haystack in front of him suddenly shook.

"Qian?"

A pair of bright, watery eyes stared at him fearfully, while a small bud on its head trembled rapidly.

Its yellowish-brown, seed-like body trembled with fear.

"Sunkern?"

Dian slowly lowered his body, trying to maintain a smile, and looked at the child in front of him.

That's right, this is the unevolved form of Sunflora, a very hardworking but timid Pokémon.

"Akane..."

The Sunkern slowly calmed down, then let out a curious cry.

Dian smiled, took out some Grass-type Pokémon Pokéblock from his backpack, and handed them over, placing them on a blade of grass.

"Qian, huh?"

The Sunkern approached, sniffed it, and then withdrew.
