Skiploom

Although the prince had planned to fake a fight to let the Luvdisc win, and then take the opportunity to back down by releasing the beautiful, rich, and Luvdisc he had caught earlier.

But I never expected that this Luvdisc, which is so timid in the face of love, would be so strong. It's probably one of the best among all the Luvdisc. It's like a hidden rich and handsome guy in disguise.

The problem is, while the outcome of him giving up and being taught a lesson by a wild Pokémon is the same, the meaning is quite different.

Although the course was very meaningful, Dian was quite unwilling to accept it.

However, he had to admit that the Ice Beam was indeed the key to victory, and his Hoppip was likely already out of action.

Dian slowly exhaled, then revealed a smile.

As one of the combatants, he must simultaneously accept both winning and losing outcomes.

If we prepare to greet victory with a smile, then we should also embrace defeat with an open mind.

Moreover, he wasn't the only one who was feeling the most pain at this moment; the Hoppip, which was truly in the midst of the battle, was the one facing defeat head-on.

As Trainer, the first thing he should do right now is not to be sad and dejected.

Instead, you need to heal your Pokémon's injuries first, and also comfort and encourage Pokémon, so as to prepare for the next battle and victory.

"This battle is mine..."

Dian smiled and took out Hoppip's Poké Ball.

Suddenly, a dazzling White Light pierced through the hazy mist and shone upon everyone present.

"This is?!"

Upon seeing the White Light, the Ranger nearby couldn't help but show a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

The Evolution Light is familiar to any Trainer.

This is a sacred light, a light of hope, and the best reward for those who strive.

"It has evolved."

The hall muttered to itself.

Only Trainer who have personally raised Pokémon from the very beginning can understand his current feelings: excitement? joy? or a natural calm?

He couldn't quite describe his feelings, but he knew his frustration had vanished, because there was no greater reward than evolution.

This is Recognition of him.

This is also a commendation for the Hoppip.

A profound sense of satisfaction filled Dian's heart, sweeping away the shadow of defeat. He believed that the Hoppip, no, the Skiploom, felt the same way.

"Hana!"

A Pokémon with yellow flowers, large ears, and a green body slowly emerged from the mist.

Its round petals on its head slowly rotated, Levitate easily in the sky, its two large ears flapping in the wind, adjusting its direction.

"Huh?!!"

The Luvdisc was dumbfounded. It had spent so much time and effort fighting, only to have its opponent suddenly Transform. What a rip-off! No, what a rip-off!

Just then, the beautiful, rich, and Luvdisc that had been captured by the Misdreavus suddenly cried out, "La po, la po."

It shook its head at the Luvdisc struggling to stand on the ice.

"La po!!"

Seeing that its Princess had made it give up, the Luvdisc was not discouraged at all; instead, it became even more determined and let out a spirited cry.

"La po..."

Water droplets shimmered in the eyes of the beautiful, wealthy, and Luvdisc.

It's true that you see true friends in times of trouble; only then do you realize who truly cares for you.

"It's time."

After seeing this, Dian used Poké Ball to recall the Skiploom.

Although he didn't know how Skiploom had withstood the Ice Beam, the frost around its ears showed that it hadn't dodged it, indicating that its injuries were quite severe.

In any case, the Hilbert has achieved its objective, and continuing it would be bad for both sides.

"Misdreavus, release the Luvdisc, let's go."

Dian turned and walked into the jungle. It seemed that camping by the lake was out of the question, and he would have to sleep in a tree in the end.

The Zubat circled around, and finding there was nothing it could do, it flew back up and helped carry the tent away.

The Misdreavus glanced regretfully at the Luvdisc it had caught, shook its head, and then let go and left.

The Ranger watching from the side didn't say anything as the palace took away a Heart Scale.

After all, the number of Heart Scale Harvest each time is not fixed, so losing one won't have much of an impact.

"La po!"

"La po!"

The two Luvdisc hopped together, touched each other's cheeks, and then suddenly kissed.

Just then, a gust of wind blew, and the two Luvdisc flew into the lake like a Pink butterfly, then dived to the bottom.

The Ranger watched the lake gradually darken and casually pulled out a Poké Ball. "Come out, Alakazam."

Appearing alongside the Red Light was a bipedal humanoid Pokémon with a yellow body covered in brown armor-like material, two flowing whiskers fluttering in the wind, and most notably, two white spoons held in its hands.

Alakazam, with his eyes closed, Levitate in the wind.

Its powerful Psychic powers gave it the ability to forgo physical strength.

"Alakazam, as usual, collect the Heart Scale from the lake."

Alakazam silently opened his eyes, and intense blue light burst forth from them. The two spoons in his hands hummed and Levitate in the air.

Thump, thump, thump.

The lake, which had finally calmed down, instantly became turbulent.

Alakazam!!

Alakazam suddenly spoke up.

The entire lake surface suddenly calmed down again, and then a hazy blue light enveloped the entire lake.

Puff.

A Heart Scale leaped from the water, then a second, a third...

Alakazam used his Confusion to retrieve countless scales from the deep bottom of the lake and then gathered them in the Ranger's backpack placed by the lake.

The Ranger nodded in satisfaction.

His greatest satisfaction in the first half of his life was raising his own Alakazam, and his greatest fortune was encountering an Abra willing to follow him.

The young Trainer just spoke was also very lucky to own a Ghost-type Pokémon.

After collecting the Heart Scale, the Ranger glanced at the jungle one last time, smiled, and stood next to Alakazam. In an instant, he and Alakazam vanished into thin air, as if they had never existed.

"Teleport, how convenient!"

After glancing at her enviously, Dian Yan emerged from the bushes where she had been hiding.

This is the fundamental reason why Abra was so difficult to subdue.

They don't even bother fighting you; they just Teleport and disappear. No matter how fast you are, you'll be left Eat Dirt in their wake.

Furthermore, not all Psychic-type Pokémon can Teleport; it depends on their innate abilities.

But without a doubt, all Abra can Teleport. It's something to envy; at least, I don't think I have the guts to make an Abra "fall in love at first sight."
