The owner had watched the entire battle from the side. He walked over to Julian and sighed.

"Gym Leader Veyne, I feel like this Combee still isn’t very obedient."

Julian nodded.

"Pokémon are the same as humans. They have different personalities. Compared to staying safely in your flower garden and gathering nectar..."

"This Combee may enjoy living in the wild more. Although it’s dangerous, it’s also full of challenges."

"I can’t guarantee she won’t leave, but I can guarantee that the next time she leaves, she won’t take the other Combee with her."

The owner waved his hand.

"As long as Combee evolves into Vespiquen, I won’t need her to command the Combee anymore. If she wants to leave, she can leave."

"If she stays in the flower garden, I’ll even worry that she’ll cause me even greater production losses."

Julian smiled.

"Then I’ll try to make sure that before she leaves again, she helps you earn back the money you spent buying her."

The owner blinked.

"How?"

"I’ve read the data. Because female Combee differ in level and mastery of Sweet Scent, the number of Combee they can command also differs."

"Based on their growth during this period, the two of them should be able to command around sixty Combee. Perhaps we can have this freedom-loving Combee use Sweet Scent."

"She can go into the wild and recruit stray Combee that have left their colony into your hive."

The owner’s eyes widened.

"There are stray Combee?"

And Sweet Scent too. The owner had originally thought it was a move with little use.

So Sweet Scent actually had such a major function!

Julian nodded.

"If the original Vespiquen dies unexpectedly, and the hive fails to produce a new Vespiquen, the originally large colony may scatter."

"Combee outside the command range of the female Combee will leave the colony. The nectar they gather will all be eaten by themselves instead of handed over to the hive."

Even if they could not attract wild Combee, with female Combee present, Pokémon Eggs might be produced inside the hive.

The same was true for Day Cares. If two suitable Pokémon were placed together, Pokémon Eggs might appear.

Using specially prepared methods like nesting blends could increase the chance of Pokémon Eggs appearing.

Pokémon reproduction was different from the traditional reproduction humans understood.

That was actually how Pokémon Eggs found in the wild came about.

It was even possible that both parents of a Pokémon Egg did not know they had such a child.

If she could not recruit wild Combee, Rebellious Combee could also exchange her freedom through producing Eggs.

The owner asked curiously, "Gym Leader Veyne, you can also prepare a nesting blend?"

Julian nodded.

"Only the basic version recorded in books. The chance of producing Pokémon Eggs isn’t especially high."

"If you approve of this method, I’ll place the blend inside the Combee hive."

The owner nodded.

"Then I’ll have to trouble you, Gym Leader Veyne."

Since the owner paid so generously, Julian naturally had to include after-sales service.

He directly took a small sealed pouch from his backpack and handed it to the owner.

"Sprinkle a little of this inside the hive each night."

"After Combee go out to gather nectar the next day, you can inspect the hive and see whether there are any Pokémon Eggs."

"There are only 10 days worth in the pouch. When you’re about to run out, send someone to Veilstone Gym to collect more."

The owner nodded repeatedly. This three million had been extremely worth it.

Not only had he established a connection with the Gym Leader of Veilstone Gym, he had also learned so much knowledge about caring for and raising Combee.

Kai, who had patiently finished touring the flower garden, excitedly ran up to Julian.

"Master, when can you arrange a battle between me and Combee?"

Julian looked at the owner.

"Kai is rather reckless, but he’s very suitable as an opponent for Combee. Do you want to try another battle with Kai?"

The owner nodded.

"No problem."

It was normal that Combee could not beat Gym Leader Veyne, but surely she could beat his apprentice, right?

Reality proved that the owner was still too confident.

As soon as the battle began, Kai excitedly shouted, "Geodude, this is our first battle! We absolutely must not betray all the sweat we’ve shed!"

Julian shook his head.

Kai, Geodude does not sweat.

"Geodude, Sandstorm!"

Geodude opened his arms and spun, sending a violent storm of sand rushing into the sky.

It directly swallowed Combee.

The owner was stunned.

Was the power this great!?

It felt like even Gym Leader Veyne’s Machoke using Flamethrower earlier had not been this powerful.

Fortunately, after Machoke’s baptism, Combee endured it.

Using her aerial advantage, she gradually seized the initiative in battle.

With Gust and Bug Buzz, she continuously consumed Geodude’s stamina.

Seeing Geodude begin to look tired, Kai shouted again, "Geodude, don’t betray our burning youth!"

Geodude instantly burned with fighting spirit and once again whipped up violent sand.

Strictly speaking, Kai’s command in this battle was not good.

But the willpower Kai displayed was very worth learning from.

Julian waved his hand.

"That’s enough!"

Kai lowered his head.

"Master, I disappointed you."

Julian patted his shoulder.

"No. You performed very well!"

The owner also sighed with emotion.

"As expected of Gym Leader Veyne’s apprentice. I feel like even my fighting spirit is burning now."

"I’m going to continue expanding the flower garden until it becomes the best in Sinnoh!"

The corner of Julian’s mouth twitched.

How had he not realised that Kai had such powerful contagious enthusiasm?

"Then we’ll take our leave first."

The owner grabbed Julian’s arm.

"No, you have to at least eat before leaving. Otherwise, it means I’ve been a poor host."

Unable to resist the owner, Julian could only stay for a meal.

Kai ate a sweet flower pie.

"I didn’t expect such beautiful petals could actually be used to make such delicious sweet flower pies."

The owner said proudly, "It isn’t the season for Gracidea flowers to bloom yet. Otherwise, I’d definitely let you taste sweet flower pies made with Gracidea petals."

"That flavour is the most unique."

Julian raised an eyebrow.

"Gracidea flowers? Are those the flowers that attract Shaymin?"

The owner smiled.

"I don’t know Shaymin, but when Gracidea flowers bloom, every year or two, a few grass hedgehogs appear."

"After absorbing Gracidea flower pollen, they change into a flying Pokémon that looks a bit like a small deer."

Julian nodded.

"That’s Shaymin, a Pokémon known as the Flower Messenger. It’s said to have the ability to turn barren land into a sea of flowers in an instant."

The owner was somewhat surprised.

"I didn’t expect those little things to have that kind of ability."

He rubbed his chin.

"Now that you mention it, during the years Shaymin appear, the flowers in the garden do seem to bloom more densely and more beautifully."

"Gym Leader Veyne, is there any way to make Shaymin come every year?"

Julian shook his head.

"Shaymin are spirits of nature. We can’t control them, or it might cause the flower garden to become barren instead."

"If you want to attract them, perhaps you can increase the number of Gracidea flowers planted."

The owner nodded.

"Counting the years, Shaymin might appear this year. When the Gracidea flowers bloom, I’ll invite Gym Leader Veyne here to enjoy the flowers."
