The curious Gloom

However, Pokémon Trainer specialize in a particular type usually stay in a suitable environment year-round and rarely change locations.

For example, Water-type Pokémon Trainer are unwilling to go to the Desert, while Rock-type Pokémon Trainer are unwilling to stay by the sea. In the end, almost everyone is influenced by the Pokémon's habits and becomes Trainer who specializes in a certain type.

After collecting the Hoppip and Beedrill, the princess, along with Misdreavus, followed Azisa toward her Weather Bureau.

This place is very close to the Great Plains, and because a large lake nearby nourishes a vast area, it has almost become Paradise for Grass-type Pokémon.

Along the way to the palace, I witnessed firsthand what a true "Vileplume" really is.

The huge red petals with white spots of light perfectly concealed its indigo bulbous body, like a natural umbrella. But it must have been very lazy, because no one would want to move when they had such a huge petal on their head.

However, the palace absolutely did not want to get close to this dangerous entity, because you could see that it was surrounded by rings of yellow powder, which was not simply Stun Spore.

Even more terrifying are the allergens that can easily trigger allergic reactions in your body, directly disrupting your internal balance and causing you to collapse.

Especially when the Vileplume moves around, thick circles of yellow powder, like clouds, bloom from its yellow buds, just like a carpet laid out when a king travels. It truly deserves the Vileplume.

As they walked, Azisa explained, "This is the territory of the Vileplume, also known as the Gloom. They generally don't attack humans unless provoked, but if you get too close, they get scared and instinctively release Spore to drive you away."

As she spoke, she gently touched a small, delicate Vileplume that happened to be passing by. "You see," she said, "They won't actually attack you like this."

"Play it! Play it!"

The Oddish skipped and hopped over to the Vileplume, and we couldn't tell what it was saying.

"Huh?"

The Vileplume seemed to have tightly closed its buds before raising its head and giving Azisa a smile. Then, it glanced curiously at the palace before turning and walking into the nearby bushes.

Dian nodded silently, indicating that he had learned something.

He remained steadfast in his stance and refused to approach these Vileplume lightly.

It's obvious that Azisa has lived here for a long time, and with Oddish acting as her translator and diplomat, she was able to get close to the local Vileplume.

If it were someone else, they would probably have to stay in the hospital for a few days, or find some Asile Waterweed that have a remarkable effect on Paralysis the Spore of the Vileplume.

Suddenly, another big shot walked out from the side. He had an indigo blue spherical body that was very similar to the Oddish and the Vileplume the Night. On his head were four reddish-brown curled long leaves, and in the middle of the leaves were four dark brown spherical petals with white spots.

What's most memorable is the white liquid around its pale purple lips, followed by a Stench that makes you wish you were dead.

"Gloom..."

The hall fell silent. What to do? It seemed this big shot had never seen so many people before, and his brain was a bit malfunctioning. He just stood there motionless in front of them.

He resisted the urge to have the Misdreavus throw the other party far away, because the Stench wasn't very strong yet, which meant that this big shot was quite restrained and in a calm mood.

If they were suddenly attacked, the prince would probably have to flee in panic, and it's not even certain whether Misdreavus Demon would be willing to touch this big shot.

Dian now understands where the insane price of the Sun Stone comes from, because compared to that, the Bellossom is indeed the most aesthetically pleasing to the average person.

The beautiful dancer among flowers, the fighting flower spirit, truly lives up to her name.

Just as Dian was hesitating about what to do, something that shattered his worldview happened. Azisa walked over and squatted down in front of the Gloom, gently stroking its reddish-brown leaves.

"Hana."

The Gloom tilted its head, and its slanted eyes, which had seemed unhappy all along, finally relaxed a little. Then, it actually sucked its own nectar back into itself.

In an instant, the Stench that permeated the air gradually disappeared.

"Call--"

The prince quickly took the opportunity to gasp for breath and was finally saved.

However, he took a closer look at Azisa and began to see her in a different light. No wonder she was able to set up a Weather Bureau all by herself on this plain; she certainly had her own unique abilities.

Judging from this, it seems that Azisa's brother was no ordinary person either.

Suddenly, Dian felt a chill all over his body. It was a sunny day, and he was on a plain with a comfortable temperature, but he still felt a coldness.

Misdreavus seemed completely unconcerned about the Stench of the Gloom, circling around it and examining it closely, especially as she hesitated to touch its spherical petals.

Just now, this young lady was very curious about the huge petals and buds of the Vileplume. If the prince hadn't been gesturing to her with his eyes, she would have been ready to crawl into the buds of the Vileplume to see what it was like inside.

"Good girl."

Azisa patted the petals of the Gloom, then stood up and smiled gently at Dian, "The Gloom seems quite curious about you, which is why it stopped to look at you."

"Hana!"

Gloom nodded, then glanced at the palace again before slowly turning and leaving.

It seems rather curious as to why the palace looks somewhat different from Azisa, since it looks almost exactly like the other Gloom. What a peculiar two-legged creature.

Dian felt somewhat speechless. Well, it turned out she was just curious about him.

He didn't think this was a good thing, because Misdreavus Demon was sometimes very curious about certain things, which was why she made such a mess of it.

Moreover, it is said that Sharpedo don't actually harm people because they have little interest in humans; only some particularly curious Sharpedo might be interested in you.

That's why they came over and bit you; whether you mind or not is beyond their consideration.

After all, it has no hands or feet, so it can only bite you to express its curiosity. Looking at it from another perspective, the Sharpedo didn't actually have any Malice; it just wanted to express its thoughts.

The problem is, they don't mind, but you do. They can easily bite you and be satisfied, but then you'll be lying in the hospital. How can you not mind?

Therefore, sometimes it's best not to get close to Pokémon you're not familiar with, because you don't know if you can handle their way of expressing goodwill and curiosity. If you can't, then tragedy will strike.
