The Choice to Evolve

A gentle Clearwind rustled softly.

Full of life, with lush green trees providing ample shade.

This is the best time of year for Caterpie that Covet to fly, as they have enough energy to evolve and realize their dream of transforming into butterflies.

Of course, some Caterpie may have bigger dreams and are unwilling to evolve, instead continuing to feed.

"Hoppip, Sleep Powder."

Dian pointed to a Caterpie in front of him.

"Hey hey!"

The Hoppip Perception the wind direction and then quickly released some indigo powder.

The Sleep Powder was quickly carried by the wind to the Caterpie that was eating leaves.

"Click, click."

The Caterpie was happily eating tender green leaves when suddenly a deep drowsiness washed over it. It tried to run to a safe place, but after crawling a couple of steps, it collapsed to the Ground-type and fell into a deep sleep.

Dian walked over and picked up the Caterpie. After finding it completely asleep, he finally smiled.

This is the third day since Hoppip started taking Chesto Berry. He didn't expect to be able to fully unleash the Sleep Powder skill so quickly, which is a great encouragement for both him and Hoppip.

"Hey hey!"

The Hoppip scurried over and, after glancing at the unconscious Caterpie, immediately jumped around happily a few times.

Sudden.

"Ugh!"

The Caterpie in the palace immediately woke up, its black eyes widening, and it let out a shriek, releasing a pungent stench.

He frowned. Although the smell was unpleasant, it was nothing compared to the Gloom.

Dian placed the Caterpie in his hand on the grass, then watched it quickly crawl away before ignoring it.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work."

He picked up the Hoppip at his feet and gently stroked its forehead.

"Hey hey~"

The Hoppip happily rubbed against the back of his hand, its leaves held high as it slowly spun around, a sign of its extreme joy.

Dian slowly exhaled. Now that the Sleep Powder was mastered, all that remained were the Stun Spore and the Poison Powder.

Actually, going from one to two is very simple; the hardest part is going from zero to one.

Since the Hoppip can use Sleep Powder according to his method, it means that it can also learn to use Stun Spore and Poison Powder by taking substances containing Paralysis and poisonous ingredients.

Moreover, he also knew the corresponding special Berry, which he assumed were Cheri Berry and Pecha Berry.

Both of these Berry are quite common, and a significant amount are cultivated artificially. This is because Cheri Berry can be used to make medicines that soothe the meridians, while Pecha Berry is an ingredient in detoxifying agents.

After thinking it over for a moment, Dian prepared to turn back and confirm with Azisa and Natsu.

Once everything was settled, he prepared to begin cultivating the Hoppip and learning two more powder-based skills.

He had all the materials on hand, including the Stun Spore contributed by Venonat, as well as the Poison Powder. Moreover, he had a lot of unused Coelacanth Grass.

As for the Star Grass, he only has three plants now, and the toxicity they produce has been used to feed the Beedrill, and the Hoppip probably can't withstand the toxicity of the Star Grass.

After all, even the current Beedrill cannot withstand the toxicity of the Pure White Star Grass, but this is normal, as it is a highly toxic substance that is close to being extremely Toxic.

Actually, what's giving me the biggest headache right now is Misdreavus, because this young lady seems to really dislike any skills other than Shadow Sneak. Even having Beedrill watch over her hasn't been very effective. I'm afraid I'll have to come up with a solution.

Fortunately, the prince still has some ideas that coincide with his plan, so it's worth a try.

Let's go.

Holding the Hoppip, Dian walked back the way he came. It seemed that the muscular brute Natsu was about to go on another trip. He needed to consult Suzuki Research Institute about that article first, and he also had other questions that he wanted to ask as soon as possible.

Although other people's ideas may not be suitable for him, even some inspiration is good. After all, the training experience of the Great Detective Officer Jenny may have a strong personal touch, and it would be a big problem if it turned out to be unsuitable.

"Yes, that's true."

Natsu took out two piles of Berry, one of which was red and looked very much like a Berry, and the other was Berry that looked like a peach.

"The Cheri Berry is quite spicy, so it goes perfectly with the sweet Pecha Berry."

He then took out another document and handed it over, "This is the latest research on Grass-type Pokémon released by the Suzuki Research Institute. You can take a look; there are some interesting things in it."

After saying that, Natsu gave the hall a thumbs up and said, "Good luck, kid."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the backpack next to him, seemingly preparing to leave.

"Brother? You're leaving today?!"

Azisa asked in surprise, "Didn't you say it would take a few days?"

"My friend just contacted me saying that traces of the Sun Stone have been discovered in a cave not far away. I have to hurry over there, or someone else will get there first."

After Natsu finished speaking, he immediately walked out quickly, seemingly in a great hurry.

"It's not Vileplume,' it's actually Bellossom '?!"

The hall was momentarily stunned.

"No, my brother does want his Gloom to evolve into Vileplume, and that kid seems to prefer the Vileplume form."

Azisa smiled. "It seems my Oddish is about to evolve, so he's planning to evolve it into Bellossom."

She rested her head on her hand, picked up a Berry, and began to eat it. "Actually, I think Vileplume would also work, but it seems like there's not enough room in the room."

Dian glanced at the large machine beside him, shook his head, and decided to stick with the Bellossom. The Vileplume was really unsuitable; after all, the Vileplume could produce a swarm of Spore with just a few steps, which would definitely not be friendly to these machines.

Besides, the Vileplume is generally slow-growing and not suitable as a caretaker for those Hoppip; the Bellossom is better.

And if it evolves into a Bellossom with the Healer Ability, then you've hit the jackpot.

It's practically like having another money tree; it's perfect.

The only problem is that Sun Stone are relatively rare and are not sold very often. They are usually bought at auction houses and are quite expensive.

"Play!"

Oddish skipped in, then ran upstairs to get a bag of Pokéblock and came running back out.

The palace attendant checked the time and realized it was lunchtime.

This Oddish is really caring, and it's incredibly fast and has amazing jumping ability. If it were to evolve into Bellossom, its strength would probably be quite formidable. I really don't know how Azisa bred it.
