Chapter 507 Mutant Flower Bud? Flower Bud Evolution... Flower Leaf Stem! The Abnormal Phenomenon of the Withering Flower Sea?

【Is "花蓓蓓" the same as "蓓蕾" (beilei)?】

[That does fit the cute image quite well.]

"That's right, family members, this Pokémon is called Flabber."

Ye Yinchuan crouched down, trying his best not to disturb the little fairy Pokémon.
"Hua Beibei is a spirit that lives in symbiosis with flowers. Each Hua Beibei will find a flower it likes and then live in symbiosis with it. The color of the flower determines the shape of the Hua Beibei. For example, what we see now is a Hua Beibei with a red flower... Once it finds a suitable one, it will stay for life."

He explained skillfully, his tone filled with appreciation for this Pokémon.

Wow, loving only one flower for life, so devoted! That's much better than some scumbags!

[I've learned something new! Pokémon lovers, especially those who love plants, are absolutely thrilled! I want to raise a Flabber!]

So, if the flower dies, will Flower Bud also...? How tragic!

“Fairies live very long lives. As I said, Hua Beibei draws power from flowers and also gives it back to them... So the flowers chosen by Hua Beibei will not wither easily.”

As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan seemed to remember something and took out two Poké Balls.

A flash of light, and two figures landed lightly on the grass, instantly spreading a natural and friendly aura.

A Pokémon with a huge red flower on its head and wearing a green leaf skirt gracefully stretched its body; it was Miss Skirt.

She exudes a gentle grass-based energy, like warm sunlight, instantly making the surrounding flowers and plants seem more vibrant.

The other Pokémon, completely wrapped in cotton and sporting a sunny smile, is Whimsicott. It blinks its big, curious eyes as its agile body floats gently in the air.

As soon as they appeared, they immediately noticed the tiny flower bud perched on the red flower.

Miss Skirt was rather reserved, only giving a gentle look.

The wind sprite is even more direct.

With a "whoosh," it flew over as lightly as a cotton candy, circled around Hua Beibei twice, and the wind it created made Hua Beibei hold on to the flower tightly, swaying from side to side, as if she was about to fall off at any moment.

"Xiaobai, stop fooling around."

Ye Yinchuan handed over the Wind Fairy and Miss Skirt to let them get some fresh air and make friends with Hua Beibei, not to let the Wind Fairy play pranks on them.

However, given the nature of the Wind Fairy, it's as if ants are crawling on it if it doesn't play a prank for a day.

[I'm so envious of the streamer having so many cute Pokémon. What's the difference between this and having a harem?]

[Not only are they cute, they're also incredibly rare!]

The teddy bear following behind Ye Yinchuan looked at Hua Beibei with some curiosity, seemingly wanting to join in the fun, but Ye Yinchuan stopped it. This guy's superhuman strength was easy to lose control of, and it would be embarrassing if he accidentally hurt Hua Beibei.

Little Lapras had some difficulty walking on land, so Ye Yinchuan let it satisfy its curiosity, took a closer look at Hua Beibei, and then put it into its Poké Ball.

"There might be other flowers of other colors around here, let's look again."

As expected, Ye Yinchuan continued forward and gradually entered a sea of ​​flowers.

The scale of this sea of ​​flowers far exceeded expectations, stretching as far as the eye could see. The air was filled with the sweet and rich fragrance of various flowers.

Combined with the wispy white mist of the Fairy Wetlands, it's like a filter has been applied, creating a scene of breathtaking beauty.

The wind sprite and Miss Skirt felt very comfortable and relaxed in this environment, as if they were at home.

Soon, they discovered more Flower Buds.

They perch on flowers of various colors—yellow, blue, orange—like tiny sprites dotting a sea of ​​flowers, creating a vibrant and captivating picture.

Each bud is closely attached to its own flower, appearing so harmonious and beautiful.

"Flambell's common ability is Flower Veil. This ability generates special energy that protects nearby Grass-type Pokémon from status conditions and makes them less susceptible to certain status moves."

Ye Yinchuan then introduced the characteristics of Hua Beibei.

[Wow, it's a Grass-type's god-tier ability in team battles!]

"As for the hidden ability, Symbiosis, it means that Flabberbe can share life and energy with designated Pokémon... just like Flabberbe and the flowers they inhabit."

Therefore, Flabberee generally cannot share life and energy with other Pokémon... but if it has the Symbiotic ability, then it is not restricted?

"That's roughly the idea... Hey? This flower is budding..."

Ye Yinchuan's gaze was drawn to an incongruous figure.

At the edge of a flowerbed, a lone flower bud drifted forlornly.

Without a flower to perch on, it swayed helplessly in the air, looking unusually dejected, its large eyes filled with confusion and melancholy.

This contrasts sharply with the cheerful and carefree nature of the other flowers.

What's most eye-catching is its appearance—

The petals adorning its head are not of the ordinary kind, but rather thick, fleshy pink petals with pinkish-white spots along the edges, their shape resembling…

The giant flower on Venusaur's back is strikingly similar!
【Huh? What's wrong with that flower-shaped one?】

Is it a mutated individual?

Why does it look so familiar?

"Don't you think the flower crown on this Flowerbee's head looks a lot like Venusaur?"

[Damn, it’s true! 】

Could it be that Venusaur has cheated on her?

Ye Yinchuan also read the information on Hua Beibei's panel—

[Trait: Exclusively infatuated with Miaohua]

This Flabber has a unique fondness for flowers, seemingly only liking the flowers on a certain type of Grass-type Pokémon. If it can't find this flower, it becomes weak and depressed... but if it can find it, it can establish a powerful symbiotic relationship with it, granting both of them immense power!

"There are even these kinds of flower buds?"

Ye Yinchuan was secretly taken aback. The grass-type Pokémon mentioned here, although not explicitly stated, was clearly Venusaur based on its appearance and the name of the trait.

"After finding a flower she likes, Hua Beibei will stay near flowers of the same color. For example, a white Hua Beibei will sleep near white flowers..."

Therefore, I suspect that the Pokémon Flabber has a tendency to like things similar to itself, and its flower crown has elements similar to Venusaur, so I suspect...

It won't even look at ordinary flowers; you'd probably need to find a Venusaur to make it choose! Otherwise, it will continue searching and living alone forever!

Wow... is that even possible?

[It would be so sad if we couldn't find Venusaur!]

Ye Yinchuan's heart stirred, and he spoke:

"Family members, I've made a note of this special flower, Beibei. When I have the chance, I'll try to find it a suitable home."

This will not only help the mutated flower, Beibei, but also create a live-streaming entertainment effect, killing two birds with one stone.

As he spoke, a faint, almost imperceptible emerald green light, seemingly nonexistent in this dimension of time, silently flew out from his eyes and merged into Hua Beibei's body.

This is the faint power bestowed by the blessing of the rabbi, a mark unique to him.

The light was gentle and subtle; Hua Beibei only felt a warmth in her body and did not notice anything unusual.
With this marker, Ye Yinchuan can easily find it again next time he comes.

[The streamer is awesome, looking forward to it! 666!]

[Speaking of which, if Blossom and Venusaur coexist, could something extraordinary be created?]

"That's true. Didn't they say they could share their power? If they were to compete, would it count as one or two?" Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but chuckle at the wild ideas in the comments.

After marking the Flareon, Ye Yinchuan didn't linger, because he knew very well that this Flareon was very determined, and without a Venusaur to attract it, it would be difficult to catch it...

Of course, given his skill level, it would be possible to forcibly subdue him, but there's no need; it's better to let him roam freely for now.

Before he had gone far, Ye Yinchuan sensed an aura of evolution. Blessed by a divine beast, his senses were much sharper than those of an ordinary trainer.

"Family members, something's up."

Ye Yinchuan quickened his pace, while not forgetting to boast.
"Did you notice a detail? That is, I tried to avoid walking on the flowers and plants and didn't trample on them. You might think I'm very well-mannered, but that's not the case. Because in addition to being well-mannered, I also have a good sense of propriety!"

【...? There's another version of events?】

[Isn't not damaging the natural environment a basic quality of a Pokémon Trainer?]

Ye Yinchuan didn't elaborate for the time being, but simply moved closer to the direction from which the aura was coming from.

Within the flowerbed, there was a clear glow of evolution.
Ye Yinchuan zoomed in:

"Family members, you're in luck! You'll have the chance to witness Hua Beibei's evolution in person!"

In the live stream, a flower named Hua Beibei holding a yellow flower was seen bathed in dazzling light.

Its body slowly elongated in the light, its originally petite frame becoming more slender and elegant. The "green pants" on its lower body gradually transformed into a skirt of emerald green leaves, lightly encircling its waist like the hem of a dancer's skirt.

The petal decorations on their heads have become more elaborate and intricate, layer upon layer, exuding an even richer fairy energy.

Most importantly, the flowers that were originally at its feet have also grown and expanded, like a parasol held by both hands, with petals extending and complementing its leaf skirt.

[Host, what Pokémon is this?]

[Can Flowerbee evolve further...? This is truly eye-opening!]

[So elegant! She really looks like a flower fairy. No wonder she's a fairy Pokémon!]

"This is the flower leaf calyx, the evolved form of the flower bud."

Ye Yinchuan's eyes brightened slightly.
"The flowers it carefully nurtured became its weapons. As I mentioned before, Flowerbee is a pure Fairy-type, and its Grass-type power comes from its flowers... Flowerleaf is the same; it can unleash the Grass-type energy within its flowers to use Grass-type moves..."

"Incidentally, because of this talent, Flowerleaf can theoretically also unleash the potential of other Grass-type Pokémon!"

Wow, that's impressive!

[Isn't this a must-have for Grass-type trainers?]

[No wonder the streamer featured the Wind Fairy and Miss Skirt; was he planning to get free publicity?]

So, aren't you planning to let my sniper owl out for a spin?

The newly evolved Flower Leaf Stem did not seem to be immersed in the joy of evolution.

It circled anxiously in place, its eyes filled with worry and urgency.

Immediately, it flew off into the depths of the wetlands, as if something extremely important was waiting for it.

"This flower petal stem... suddenly seems tense? Like it has some kind of mission to perform?"

Ye Yinchuan observed the situation and listened to the inner voice, and noticed something unusual.

That makes sense, that's why I didn't see a single flower bud or leaf stem earlier, only flower petals...

Could it be that the species here, after evolving into flower-leaf calyxes, adopt some inherent behavior and leave this place?

"Follow up and have a look."

A sense of curiosity arose in Ye Yinchuan's heart.

He had a vague feeling that something unusual might exist deep within this wetland.

Following the flower petals and stems, the surrounding scenery remained a sea of ​​flowers, yet a noticeable change could be felt—

The sea of ​​flowers outside is vibrant and beautiful.

The flower fields here are noticeably sparser, especially with some withered flowers and plants visible...

The emerald green leaves turned yellowish-brown, and the vibrant flowers lost their color, as if their life force had been drained.

"How could this be?"

Ye Yinchuan's behavior became increasingly suspicious.
"Floppy is a Pokémon that's very good at taking care of plants, so how could it be that the flowers are blooming in the field outside, but gradually wither inside? There must be something wrong... something very wrong!"

in front.

The flower petal was anxiously flitting among a patch of withered flowers, constantly emanating gentle fairy energy to save the withered plants.

It murmured healing songs, and the light from the flowers in its hands tried to spread, attempting to breathe life back into the dying plant.

The withered flowers and plants quickly came back to life.

It's obvious that after Hua Beibei evolved into Hua Ye Di, she sensed the aura of withered flowers and plants and came to share her power with them...

"Why did you follow me here?"

Ye Yinchuan noticed that a flower bud was following behind him, the same one that had just entered the flower sea. Moreover, this flower bud had come close to him and pressed against his shoulder.

You could tell that this flower was a little scared and uneasy.

"The sea of ​​flowers is withering... You possess a kind aura and a special power... Please help us!"

Upon hearing Hua Beibei's thoughts, Ye Yinchuan's expression gradually became serious.

The special power within me could refer to Ho-Oh's aura, or it could be the blessing of the forest god Celebi!

Ye Yinchuan continued deeper and discovered more flower stalks and withered flowers and plants. These flower stalks were busily working, each trying to save the withered plants with its own strength...

But just as Hua Beibei said, the sea of ​​flowers is withering, especially further in, where the withering is more severe. It seems that there is some terrible force radiating throughout the entire sea of ​​flowers!
"These flower petals and stems..."

Seeing that some of the flower petals and stems were exhausted and even showed signs of withering, Ye Yinchuan felt a chill.

In an effort to save the flower field from withering, these flower petals and stems expended so much energy that they themselves became like this...

Or perhaps, being near the source of the flower field's withering for an extended period of time also affected them!

"what exactly is it?"

Ye Yinchuan felt that the responsibility on his shoulders had suddenly become heavy.

The viewers in the live chat had already noticed something was wrong, and they had even witnessed the anomaly in the sea of ​​flowers and the efforts of the flower petals and stems...

[Wait, what's going on? Is it some kind of pollution again?]

[The depths of the Fairy Wetlands are likely sparsely populated!]

[Hey streamer, what's going on here? Aren't you going to do anything about this?]

"Control, of course we have to."

Ye Yinchuan's eyes remained calm. "At least we need to see what's going on inside..."

Looking at the withered path leading deeper into the distance, he continued walking.

"By the way, why do I say I don't step on flowers and plants? It's because Flower Leaf Stem really loves flowers and plants, and if anyone damages them, it will definitely attack without mercy..."

"So... seeing the sea of ​​flowers turn into this, these flower petals must be very angry and sad!"
