Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Taking A Share

A/N:2/5 Bonus Chapters

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

Julian pulled in a few Pokémon who had finished training partway through the afternoon, and all five challengers felt that today’s battles had suddenly become much more intense.

Unfortunately, they still failed to trigger Gym Leader Julian’s golden touch.

The two Trainers who received Badges could only leave regretfully.

On the other hand, the three Trainers who failed to receive Badges cheerfully agreed to go train at Verdant Cloud Mountain together.

It was said that a hiker had once seen Gym Leader Julian training Pokémon there.

Verdant Cloud Mountain was definitely a good place.

If they went to train there too, their Pokémon would definitely become stronger faster.

Then, when they came back to challenge Veilstone Gym, they could trigger the golden touch.

Wouldn’t winning the Lily of the Valley Conference be as good as guaranteed?

Julian did not understand why challengers were unhappy even after receiving Badges.

But he did not say anything.

After closing the Gym doors, he brought Eevee, Bagon, Hisuian Goodra, Bewear, and Combusken with him.

Then he rode Miraidon and flew towards the flower garden.

Not only did he have a date with Cassia, Julian also had a mission to help the owner train his Combee.

The remaining Rebel Combee definitely had to be arranged properly for the owner.

If she evolved into Vespiquen, she definitely could not remain in the flower garden.

For a Pokémon like Vespiquen, only one could exist within a certain area.

Julian’s arrival made the owner come forward joyfully to welcome him.

Clyde chuckled and said, "Don’t worry. I’ll definitely arrange the best treatment for you and your girlfriend, so the two of you can enjoy this date comfortably and happily."

Julian waved his hand.

"No, I mainly came for Combee this time. What’s your plan for her?"

There were not many Combee who would evolve into Vespiquen.

The person who had sold the Combee to the owner had, after all, only sold Combee.

Although the seller had described a beautiful future, they had not guaranteed that they would definitely evolve.

But they had also said that two female Combee could control the swarm well and steadily produce Honey.

If this generation of Combee did not work, perhaps the next generation of female Combee would evolve.

In the end, out of the two Combee, one had already evolved, and the other was close to evolving.

For the owner, this was truly a happy problem.

Clyde looked at Julian.

"What do you think I should do?"

Julian’s suggestion was still the same: Rebel Combee should be raised semi-wild.

Clyde nodded immediately.

"Then we’ll do it that way."

He paused, then looked at Julian more seriously.

"But I’d like you to stay involved."

"I can manage the business side, but if she really evolves into Vespiquen, I doubt she’ll listen to me for long. A Vespiquen like that won’t obey someone just because they own the land."

Clyde smiled wryly.

"You’re different. She recognises you."

"If you’re willing to check on her regularly and keep the swarm from getting out of control, I’ll give you thirty percent of the profit from the wild Honey."

Julian frowned slightly.

"Thirty percent is too much. Change it to Honey instead. I caught a bear Pokémon who likes Honey very much."

"Besides, Combee Honey is highly nutritious and useful for raising Pokémon."

The owner hurriedly said, "No problem. I’ll calculate it at cost price for you!"

Julian also said, "Then give me Honey worth ten percent of the profits, and forget the remaining payment for this mission."

Clyde immediately refused.

"That won’t do! One matter is one matter. This money has to be paid."

Julian could not argue with him, so he could only accept the remaining payment.

They first went to see Rebel Combee.

When she saw Julian, she told him to send out Combusken.

Her current strength was already twice what it had been before!

She did not believe she still could not beat Combusken.

Rebel Combee wanted to use Combusken to achieve her goal of evolution.

Julian gladly agreed.

After finding an open space, he released Combusken.

Seeing the sea of flowers in the distance, Combusken immediately knew that tonight, there would be sweet little cakes again.

"Combusken, prepare to battle."

Seeing that it was Rebel Combee again, Combusken sighed inwardly.

This Combee really was persistent.

She launched the first attack, stirring up a strong gust of wind.

"Flamethrower!"

Combusken spat scorching flames, directly blasting apart the wind Rebel Combee had raised.

The blazing fire struck her, who had frozen in place.

She did not understand.

Why has the gap between us grown this large?

I’ve improved so much!

Because Rebel Combee was not the only one improving.

Combusken had also been growing stronger.

Combusken looked at her as she fell to the ground and calmly shook his head.

"Combusken."

Rebel Combee would not understand just how painful the training he had gone through today was.

Julian stepped forward to apply medicine to her and asked calmly, "Combee, do you want to give up already?"

"Didn’t you dream of one day returning to nature and building a huge Combee swarm of your own?"

Rebel Combee’s gaze immediately sharpened, and she vibrated her wings before flying up.

"Bee~"

That was right.

She could not give up!

Brilliant evolutionary light lit up around Combee’s body.

Clyde’s eyes widened.

He had cleanly defeated Combee, then encouraged her a little, and she evolved?

Then what did all his early mornings and late nights training her until she finally evolved count for?

Julian said calmly, "We can let you establish a swarm in that river valley from before. We can even provide food during winter."

"The price is that you’ll need to exchange the Honey created by your Combee. How does that sound?"

Rebel Vespiquen nodded in agreement.

Before, she had been simple, not stupid.

After spending this time in the flower garden, she had already thought things through.

They created Honey in order to survive.

If they could survive more easily, why make things so difficult?

One portion of Honey could only feed one Combee.

But if exchanged with humans, one portion of Honey could feed ten Combee.

Towards Julian, who had helped her evolve, Rebel Vespiquen actually felt some gratitude.

At the same time, losing to Combusken made her realise that her strength was still somewhat insufficient.

"Vespiquen~"

Julian froze for a moment.

"You want to follow me and learn for a while longer before going into the wild to establish your swarm?"

Julian smiled.

"No problem. You aren’t suited to living in the flower garden right now anyway, so come back to Veilstone Gym with me."

It was perfect.

In a few days, Julian could bring Vespiquen back again.

Clyde nodded and said, "During the period of establishing the swarm, I’ll be responsible for providing the food needed. It can be repaid with Honey afterwards."

The owner directly handed Rebel Vespiquen’s Poké Ball to Julian.

After arriving at Veilstone Gym and seeing Kommo-o battle Gallade, Vespiquen’s eyes widened.

There were actually such powerful beings in this world!

She was unbelievably excited.

After drifting for half her life, she had finally encountered a powerful person!

Six days passed in the blink of an eye.

Julian stood at the station holding a bouquet of flowers, with Miraidon waiting behind him, as he waited for Cassia to appear.

Soon, an elegant and intellectual blonde beauty walked out of the station.

Julian handed the flowers to Cynthia.

"Cassia, welcome."

Cynthia smiled softly, then took a book from her bag and handed it to Julian.

"I prepared a gift for you too. An ancient manual on raising Bagon, already translated. You’ll definitely be able to use it."

Julian’s eyes immediately lit up.

Luckily, he reacted in time.

He put the book away without opening it on the spot.

Then he smiled gently.

"Thank you for your gift."
