He flew north from Canalave City, crossed the strait, then headed east.
As fields of brilliant flowers came into view, Yong immediately spotted the rustic little town nestled among them, like a jewel adorning the center of a giant blossom.
Floaroma Town!
Hills surrounded it, flowers of every color vied for attention, and fragrance filled the air.
Compared with the sea of flowers encircling Ever Grande City in Hoenn, Floaroma Town's flower fields might not have been as dazzling or elegant, but they had a quieter, more natural charm.
He landed in a clearing on the outskirts and recalled Aerodactyl. A refreshing fragrance washed over his face, soothing both body and mind.
Yong stood there quietly, savoring nature's gift. Only after a long while did he smile and make his way into town.
Looking around, he saw that a belt of fruit trees had been planted between the flower fields and the town, encircling the settlement. Dozens of tall triangular frames stood among the trees, and almost every tree held an enormous hive! Combee busily flew back and forth between the flower fields and the fruit trees.
Honey gatherers and tree farmers stood nearby in twos and threes, occupied with their work.
The town was peaceful, and most of the people coming and going were women, especially Pokémon Breeders and flower arrangers.
Almost every child had an adorable Pichu or Pikachu following along...
Floaroma Town had a Pokémon Center.
It stood in the center of town, not far from a flower shop called "Flower World."
Having left in a hurry earlier and missed lunch, Yong treated himself to a satisfying meal at the Pokémon Center. Then he replenished the supplies he would need for traveling through the forest before heading contentedly toward the woods north of town.
That was right.
