Chapter 154 News of the Flower Messenger, Shamy
The arena owner watched the entire match, walked over to Li Shuwen, and sighed.
"Librarian, I feel that this three bees are still a bit unruly."
Li Shuwen nodded. "Pokémon, like humans, have different personalities. Rather than staying in your flower garden and safely collecting nectar, they are more suitable for you."
"This three honeybee probably enjoys living in the wild more; although it's dangerous, it's full of challenges."
"I can't guarantee she won't leave, but I can guarantee that next time she leaves, she won't take any other three bees with her."
The owner waved his hand, "Once the three bees evolve into the queen bee, she won't need to command them anymore. She can leave if she wants."
"If I leave her in the flowerbed, I'm worried she'll cause me even greater production losses."
Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Then I'll try my best to make sure you earn back the money you spent on her before she leaves."
The owner blinked. "How do we make money?"
"I've read the information. Female honeybees have different ranks and different levels of expertise in creating sweet fragrances, which also affects the number of honeybees they can command."
"With their growth over this period, the two of them are able to command about sixty three-necked bees, and perhaps they can make this three-necked bee, which yearns for freedom, use a sweet scent."
"Go out into the wild and recruit those stray honeybees to join your hive."
The farm owner's eyes widened. "Are there still three stray bees?"
It also has a sweet aroma, which the owner originally thought was just a skill that didn't have much effect.
I never knew sweet aromas could have such a powerful effect!
Li Shuwen nodded. "If the original queen bee dies unexpectedly and the colony does not produce a new queen bee, then the originally large colony may scatter."
"The three honeybees that are not under the control of the female will leave the colony and eat all the nectar they collect themselves, without giving it to the colony."
Even if wild three-necked bees are not attracted, the presence of female three-necked bees may result in the birth of three-necked bee fairy eggs in the hive.
The same applies to breeding centers; placing two suitable Pokémon together may result in the birth of a Pokémon egg.
Using special incense can increase the chances of an elf egg hatching.
The way Pokémon reproduces is different from the traditional way humans understand reproduction.
That's how you find Pokémon eggs in the wild.
Even the parents of the elf egg may not know that they have such a child.
If wild three-necked bees cannot be recruited, the peach-blossom three-necked bees can also exchange their freedom by laying eggs.
The owner asked curiously, "Does the Bookstore Master also concoct fertility incense?"
Li Shuwen nodded, "It's just the basic model recorded in the book; the probability of it hatching a Pokémon egg isn't particularly high."
"If the owner agrees with this approach, I will place the incense in the hive of the three honeybees."
The owner nodded, "Then I'll leave it to the curator."
Since the owner was so generous with the money, Li Shuwen naturally had to cover after-sales service.
Li Shuwen took a box of incense directly from his backpack and handed it to the owner, saying, "One stick each night, the incense burns for eight hours."
"The next day, when the three bees go out to collect nectar, you can go and check the hive to see if there are any fairy eggs."
"There are only thirty incense sticks in the box. Once they're used up, the owner will send someone to the Curtain Dojo to get more."
The owner nodded repeatedly, saying that the three million was well spent.
Not only did I get in touch with the head of the Veil Dojo, but I also learned so much about caring for and raising the Three Bees.
After patiently touring the flowerbed, Akai excitedly ran up to Li Shuwen.
"Master, when can I be scheduled to fight the Three Bees?"
Li Shuwen looked at the arena owner, "Akai is a bit reckless, but he'd be a good opponent for the Three Bees. Would the arena owner like to give Akai another try?"
The farm owner nodded. "No problem."
It's normal that they can't beat the Master of the Book and Literature Pavilion, but surely they can beat the Master's disciple, the Three Bees?
As it turns out, the owner was too confident.
As soon as the match started, Kai excitedly shouted, "Little Geodude, this is our first match, let's not let all the hard work we've put in go to waste!"
Li Shuwen shook his head. "Kai, Geodude doesn't sweat."
"Geosphere, sandstorm!"
The little geodeer spread its arms and spun around, sending a violent cloud of sand shooting into the sky.
The three bees were completely submerged.
The owner was shocked. Was it really that powerful?!
It felt like even the Bookkeeper's powerful burst of energy, including his flamethrower, wasn't this strong.
Fortunately, after being baptized by Haoli, the three bees survived.
Taking advantage of their air superiority, the three bees gradually seized the initiative in the battle.
Using the wind and the chirping of insects, they continuously depleted Geodude's stamina.
Seeing Geodude's tired expression, Guy shouted again, "Geodude, don't let our burning youth go to waste!"
The little geomancy was instantly ignited with fighting spirit, once again stirring up a violent sandstorm.
Strictly speaking, Akai's command in this battle was not good.
However, the willpower that Akai showed is very worthy of learning.
Li Shuwen waved his hand, "That's enough!"
Ah Kai lowered his head. "Master, I've let you down."
Li Shuwen patted him on the shoulder, "No, you did a great job!"
The owner of the venue was also deeply moved, saying, "He truly deserves to be the disciple of the Master of the Book and Literature Pavilion. He has ignited my own fighting spirit."
"I want to continue expanding the size of my flower garden, making it the best in Sinnoh!"
Li Shuwen's lips twitched. How come he hadn't realized that Akai had such a strong infectiousness?
"Owner, we'll take our leave now."
The owner grabbed Li Shuwen's arm. "No, you have to eat before you leave, otherwise it's my fault as the host."
Unable to refuse the owner's request, Li Shuwen had no choice but to stay for dinner.
As Ah Kai ate the flower cake, he remarked, "I never imagined that such beautiful flower petals could be used to make such a delicious flower cake."
The owner said proudly, "It's not the season for Gracidia flowers to bloom yet, otherwise I would definitely let you try the flower cakes made with Gracidia petals."
"That flavor is the most unique."
Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "Gracidia flower? Is it the kind of flower that attracts Shemi?"
The owner smiled and said, "I don't know Shemi, but every year or two when the Gracidia flowers bloom, a few grass hedgehogs will appear."
"After absorbing the pollen of the Gracidia flower, they will turn into a flying Pokémon, somewhat like a deer."
Li Shuwen nodded. "That's Shaymin, the 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 this little thing to have such abilities."
The owner stroked his chin. "It seems that in the years when Shemi appeared, the flowers in the flowerbeds did indeed bloom more and were more vibrant."
"Librarian, is there any way to get Shemi to come every year?"
Li Shuwen shook his head. "As spirits of heaven and earth, we cannot control the Shemi, otherwise the flower garden may become desolate."
"If we want to attract them, perhaps we could increase the number of Gracidia flowers planted."
The owner nodded. "Judging by the years, Shemi might appear this year. When the Gracidia flowers bloom, I'll invite the librarian to come and admire them."
