Greatest Pokémon Trainer

It was one thing for Dragonite to lick its own Pokemon, but if he let Venusaur lick another trainer's Pokemon, it would break his trainer's heart!

"Jie…Jiemi... (I, I was just saying.)" Shaymin shrank back awkwardly.

Did that count as liking something?

Was it craving the body of Venusaur?

No!

It was merely after Venusaur's ability to manipulate the "Power of Nature" to transform the Gracidea Flower Ocean!

The Gracidea Flower, a very special plant, could transform Shaymin from its Land Forme to its Sky Forme.

The Gracidea Flower Ocean and meadows were also Shaymin's favorite habitats.

It could be said that the Shaymin species had an inseparable connection with the Gracidea Flower.

Whether the Gracidea Flower was a unique item for Shaymin or if Shaymin originated from the Gracidea Flower Ocean, Pokemon scholars couldn't make a definite judgment.

Generally speaking, Shaymin could create its own flower seas and meadows.

However, this didn't prevent them from pursuing even more beautiful and magnificent flower seas and meadows.

"Just saying?"

From inside its Poke Ball, Venusaur, secretly watching, had a crestfallen expression.

Bana... bana... bana...

Wuuu wuuu wuuu.

"Just saying... how come, you don't like it??" Fang Yuan asked.

"Jiemi... (This...)" Shaymin struggled internally.

"Since it was just a slip of the tongue, then I can rest easy."

While Shaymin was conflicted, Fang Yuan showed a relaxed smile.

"Speaking of which."

"My Venusaur seems to have taken a liking to you too."

Shaymin was taken aback. It had felt that Venusaur liked it before.

But why did Fang Yuan seem happy even though it hadn't expressed any affection for Venusaur?

"Strange why I'm happy?"

"Because, even though it likes you, I am strongly against you two dating."

Fang Yuan's expression suddenly became serious.

"Jie, Jiemi?!"

Shaymin froze again.

"You might not believe what I'm about to say."

"After the World Tournament, my Venusaur was fortunate enough to enter the World Origin Tree's secret location to refine its gardening skills, becoming for a while the exclusive Gardener of the World Tree."

"Later, it learned to use the 'Power of Nature' from Celebi, the God of The Forest, and also studied the use of light energy with Tapu Bulu, becoming the Grass Overlord."

"And it did all this just so that when it saw you again, it could create a Legendary-level Gracidea Flower Ocean to make you happy."

"Does that make sense?"

"After going through so much, it might one day become a new Legendary Grass-type Pokemon. Right now is a critical time for it to get stronger. Dating would only hold it back."

"Transforming a Legendary Gracidea Flower Ocean? That's just a waste of time."

"Since you don't like it, then I am relieved. When I go back and tell it, it'll surely be able to move on."

Fang Yuan said as if relieved. Beside him, Eevee was stupefied.

Inside the Poke Ball, Venusaur was also stunned. Had it ever mentioned creating a Legendary-level Gracidea Flower Ocean? What was that? Wait a minute, right, why hadn't it occurred to it to use this promise to confess to Shaymin? That would definitely work wonders!

Clever, Fang Yuan was so clever.

No wonder he was the single-dog Trainer who had planned Big Brother Kedra's confession script! Single dogs are indeed masters of love.

At that moment.

As Fang Yuan finished speaking, Shaymin's eyes widened.

Wait? Gardening experiences exclusive to the World Tree?

Direct teachings from Celebi, the God of The Forest?

Are you still fooling me??? How could such experiences exist...

However.

Shaymin could also sense the changes in other beings' "Souls".

What silenced Shaymin was that Fang Yuan's "Soul" was extremely calm, showing no signs of lying.

Shaymin was shocked.

That Venusaur had been thinking of giving it a Legendary Flowers Sea all along...

In an instant, Shaymin imagined the Legendary Flower Ocean.

It imagined itself rolling and swimming through it.

If the Venusaur could do it, maybe it really could.

Gurgle.

"Jiemi! (Maybe we can try dating!)" Shaymin suddenly said.

Venusaur was overjoyed.

"Dating?" Fang Yuan looked at Shaymin.

"I've already said, I'm against you two dating; you'll only hold Venusaur back,"

"And besides, you're not worthy of it."

Fang Yuan's tone was utterly emotionless.

This made Shaymin's heart quiver.

Venusaur, on the other hand, was all "???"

This was not what had been agreed upon before.

Having said that, Fang Yuan, in the face of Shaymin's stupefaction and confusion, patted Eevee and then vanished with it.

......

At that moment.

In a wilderness area.

Fang Yuan watched Venusaur crying its eyes out, falling into silence.

"Bana!!! Bana!! (What are you doing, what are you doing!!)"

The Garlic Emperor felt wronged.

Hadn't Shaymin just agreed to try dating?

Why reject it again???

"This."

Fang Yuan faced Venusaur, also quite helpless.

"But I really think it still has room to grow."

He looked at Venusaur.

"Ever since you wanted to come over to confess to Shaymin, I've researched many sources."

"The Shaymin species don't have a special habitat because they need to wander in search of and create meadows. They are a nomadic Pokemon species, and the reason for their wandering is simple - as Gratitude Elves, they travel around to thank nature, and their purpose is to fill barren lands all over the world with greenery."

"Besides that, as they travel around the world, they also absorb toxins from the atmosphere, making nature more beautiful, and they are a Pokemon species truly worthy of respect."
