-----------------------

Noibat looked extremely dejected.

After leaving Dipplin, its good friend, Vibrava — who had originally competed with it over whose ultrasonic waves were stronger — had gradually become its close friend too.

Now, Vibrava had evolved into Flygon.

And Julian had forcibly driven her away.

How could Noibat possibly feel good?

Julian could only comfort Noibat.

"Don’t worry. There will be a day when we meet again."

Noibat sighed.

"But the next time we meet, Flygon will probably be following your instructions and humiliating the two of us during a concert, right?"

"I don’t understand. How did everyone, who used to be so happy together, become like this?"

Noibat looked at Gible, unable to tell whether he was a blessing or a disaster.

Although Gible’s arrival had allowed Applin and Vibrava to evolve quickly, it had also forced everyone to experience the pain of parting from their friends.

Julian glanced at the blue sky, then at the fruit trees breaking through the soil one after another — even some planted a month and a half ago had already begun flowering.

"Even friends can’t walk together forever. Separation is normal. If you evolve first, you’ll also need to learn how to survive on your own."

"Noibat, you need to understand. Hidden on this island is a great terror that we cannot see."

With one wrong step, this originally peaceful and harmonious island could become their grave.

Julian picked up the leaf Flygon had left behind for carrying water.

"I’ll go get water."

Noibat looked downcast, but still forced itself to cheer up and continue working.

When Julian returned with water, he saw two Applin carrying a bruised and swollen Applin over in a sorry state.

The bruised Applin fell to the ground and looked at Julian unwillingly.

"Mate, why did I go find Jigglypuff according to your method..."

"Only for Jigglypuff to beat me up? Look at all these slaps she gave me."

"It hurts so much~"

Julian looked at Applin with a firm gaze and said, "She’s testing you. You have to persist!"

"If you can’t endure this little bit of pain, how are you going to form a band with Jigglypuff?"

Applin immediately sprang up.

"That’s right. She’s testing me!"

Julian clapped his hands.

"Don’t say I’m not loyal. I found some Honey Apples. Take them all and eat them!"

"Evolve into Dipplin as soon as possible, and form a band with Jigglypuff as soon as possible!"

There were not many Honey Apples. Applin ate seven apples on the spot.

Then it fell over and went straight to sleep.

Julian planted all twenty apple seeds in the Berry orchard.

If they successfully grew into saplings, he would choose a suitable place to transplant them.

He would strive to let every Applin on the island enjoy Honey Apples.

The other two Applin suddenly looked at Julian excitedly.

"Gible, are you saying that if we evolve into Dipplin, we can form a band with Jigglypuff?"

Julian hurriedly shook his head.

"That’s not what I said. But didn’t Dipplin form a team with Jigglypuff precisely because he can scatter Supersweet Syrup?"

In the field of singing, Jigglypuff were absolutely top-tier.

Aside from a small number of Jigglypuff that truly lacked singing talent, most Jigglypuff had outstanding voices. Whether in chorus or solo, they were among the best.

Every year, the island selected a singing champion. Although last year it had been Primarina, second place had always belonged to Jigglypuff.

In fact, more than half of the top ten were Jigglypuff!

That was the value of Jigglypuff!

Being able to form a team with Jigglypuff was absolutely something that brought honour to one’s ancestors.

The two Applin directly abandoned their good friend and began searching the entire island for Honey Apples.

As for the Applin who had been beaten by Jigglypuff, it chose to stay.

"I’m going to plant trees with you. That way, I’ll have endless Honey Apples to eat. I’ll definitely evolve into Dipplin before those two disloyal fellows!"

Julian hurriedly applauded him.

"Very good. Excellent spirit!"

Their farming team returned to three members again.

Just like that, another month passed. Julian had thought this simulation was almost at its end.

With how carefully he had developed, he should be able to obtain an A-rank evaluation.

But it still did not end.

That suited him perfectly. Julian continued farming and developing in silence.

As for Applin, he had already begun eating the first batch of Honey Apples.

That was right. In just two and a half months, the apple seeds had grown into trees and completed the entire process of flowering, fruiting, and ripening.

It violated all common sense of nature, but this was the Pokémon world.

Anything could happen.

Although the first batch of Honey Apples did not have much syrup and were not very large...

They were still Honey Apples.

After eating all the Honey Apples on one tree in a single day, Applin lay on the ground, barely breathing, and asked Julian, "Am I about to evolve?"

"My body feels swollen. They say that’s how it feels when you’re about to evolve."

Julian looked at it coldly.

"I don’t know what it’s like for other dragons, but in your case, you simply ate too much."

Applin instantly froze.

Noibat shook its head and picked a Sweet Apple to eat.

The next day, Applin regained its energy and went confidently to find Jigglypuff again.

Julian really did casually come up with nine methods for Applin to pursue Jigglypuff.

Applin tried them one by one, and Jigglypuff’s attitude towards Applin really did soften quite a bit.

Julian could not say for sure whether that was because of Applin’s personal charm or because his methods had truly worked.

Another half a month passed. Julian was attempting to learn Dragon Dance with Gible’s body.

Applin ran into the cellar, planning to take some stored Honey Apples to eat.

"What are you doing?"

Julian smiled and said, "I don’t have a talent for singing, so I was wondering whether I could provide backing dance for them. That would also be a way to participate in performances."

Applin’s eyes lit up.

"That’s good! Jigglypuff is already complaining that my singing sounds terrible. I’ll become a backing dancer too!"

Julian could only bring Applin along to practise Dragon Dance.

Since he was already teaching Applin, he might as well teach Noibat too.

Noibat was the one who could actually become a backing dancer in the band after evolving.

...

After studying for seven days, Applin rushed excitedly into the Berry orchard.

"Today is Florges’s dance party. I’m planning to invite Jigglypuff to attend with the dance we just learned. Do you want to go?"

Julian nodded.

"Of course."

This was the first time he had heard that Florges was holding a dance party.

He had to go and see what Florges was made of.

In a sea of flowers, everyone was restricted to specific areas.

Stepping on the nearby flowers was strictly forbidden, and anyone who violated the rule would be expelled from the dance party.

Aside from Florges, there were many Flabébé and Floette around. They were responsible for guiding guests and providing food and water.

Florges opened the dance, and clusters of colourful petals danced along with her movements.

Five Flabébé with different flower colours sang behind Florges.

Applin and Jigglypuff gathered together, dancing happily.

Under the possible influence of large amounts of Honey Apples and Dragon Dance...

That fellow actually began glowing with evolution light.

He evolved into Dipplin.

Jigglypuff looked at Dipplin in surprise.

"I agree to form a band with you!"

Dipplin excitedly ran in front of Julian and shouted, "Mate, did you see that? Jigglypuff agreed!"

Noibat shook its head.

"It’s only forming a band. Is there any need to be that happy?"

Dipplin shook his head.

"You don’t understand. This is what love is!"
