Bea's words broke the silence on the field.
Gengar swallowed hard, turned his head, and made eye contact with Lucas.
"Gen gengar — — — —"
Next time you make her angry, don't make me take the blame — — — —
Lucas: — — — —
"Traitor!"
Gengar scratched his butt and pointed at the Dynamax Vespiquen. "Gen gengar!"
How can I take the blame for you! I'll be blown to smithereens.
"Gothitelle?"
What are you two jabbering about?
Lucas immediately hugged Gengar.
"We are discussing how to handle the follow-up matters."
"Gen gengar"
Exactly, exactly.
Gothitelle stared at them for a while, then withdrew her gaze, clapped her hands, and floated back to the lakeside.
"Gothitelle."
Wash up and eat.
Lucas and Gengar breathed a sigh of relief.
Lucas let go of Gengar, looked at the dumbfounded Bea and Machamp, and asked with a smile: "Haven't had breakfast yet, right? Stay and have breakfast together?"
Bea: "Ah — — — — This — — — — Vespiquen — — — — That — — — — This — — — —"
Bea looked toward the Dynamax Vespiquen and found that it had escaped at some point.
"Do you still remember where you met it?"
Hearing Lucas's question, Bea nodded.
"Then there's no problem. Let's go find it after we finish breakfast."
Lucas snapped his fingers, "Let's go, let's go eat breakfast together. Gothitelle's cooking is quite good."
"Oh, okay."
Bea followed Lucas to the table that Machamp had just set up in a daze.
"Where is Plane Sister? Hasn't she woken up yet?"
Lucas scanned the area, didn't see Latias, asked, then walked into the tent, and found Latias sleeping belly-up, sprawled out.
Looking at Latias's sleeping posture, Lucas fell silent — — — —
This sleeping posture has the style of Mime Jr. — — — —
Lucas covered her with a quilt. Not long after, Latias, unable to breathe, stuck her head out of the quilt and looked at Lucas with dissatisfaction.
"What are you doing — — — —"
The lazy girl's voice just woken up reached Lucas's ears, full of complaints.
"What time is it, still sleeping? Get up and eat. Also, didn't you hear such a big commotion just now?"
"Eat?! Coming!"
Latias crawled out of the quilt, flew out of the tent past Lucas.
Lucas: — —
Lucas walked to the dining table, picked up the toothbrush and water bottle that Gothitelle had prepared, and went to a bush to brush his teeth with Gengar.
"Wow — — — —"
Bea looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the table and couldn't help but swallow.
"This is too sumptuous — — — —"
Bea doubted whether they were here for a vacation, even though the forest was so dangerous.
She glanced at Gengar and the others — — — —
Thinking of their strength, sorry to bother you.
Lucas sat next to Gengar, took the breakfast handed over by Gothitelle, put it on the table, looked at Bea and her Pokémon who were already drooling, smiled, and said: "Eat, don't be polite."
"Then I won't be polite."
Bea put her hands together, said a word, and began to bury her head in breakfast.
"Mmm — — — — Oh, delicious — — — —"
Bea was so moved that she almost shed tears.
When Lucas was enjoying his breakfast, Latias's voice entered his mind.
"What else did you say when you woke me up this morning? I didn't hear it clearly."
Only heard eating, right?
"It's okay, it's already been solved."
"Oh, then remember to tell me in advance next time."
Lucas rolled his eyes at her.
Gothitelle and Lilligant finished breakfast first, greeted them, and went to pack up the tent.
When Lucas and the others finished breakfast, Gothitelle and the others had just dismantled the tent, folded it up, along with the quilts and such.
Next was cleaning up the tables and chairs.
After everything was cleaned up, Gengar used a bag to pack the non-biodegradable garbage, preparing to take it to the next city and throw it into a trash can.
— —
Protect the environment, Ghost-type is responsible.
"Let's go, let's go solve the problem of the Dynamax Vespiquen."
Lucas looked at Bea and said.
Bea nodded, just wanted to speak, and then couldn't help but hiccup.
Ate too much.
Lucas remembered the way Bea ate just now.
The appetite is also the strength of one person.
Why can people in this world eat so much — — — —
Lucas couldn't figure it out.
Lucas followed Bea to the place where she met the Dynamax Vespiquen.
Watching the Dynamax Vespiquen quietly healing, Lucas brought Gengar and the others forward.
"Bee!"
The Dynamax Vespiquen saw Lucas and the others, roared at them, its face full of vigilance.
How did they catch up?!
Lucas looked at the surrounding environment, which had been almost destroyed by the Dynamax Vespiquen.
"Vespiquen, don't worry, we are not here to take revenge on you. On the contrary, we want to help you."
Lucas said loudly.
Bea: Huh? Are we here to help?
The Dynamax Vespiquen roared angrily.
Help? Just because of you — — — — guys.
The Dynamax Vespiquen saw Machamp standing in front of Lucas, fists clashing.
Lilligant held an Energy Ball in her hand, Gothitelle's palms glowed purple, and Ninetales' soft fur flashed with sparks.
That Gengar doesn't look very strong, I'll hit it first later.
What is that thing that looks like Dark Void?
Could it be Dark Void?
Gengar?! Dark Void?!
The Dynamax Vespiquen stared at Lucas.
Where did this monster come from?!
Looking at the Dynamax Vespiquen, Lucas sighed.
Sure enough, the tsundere Queen of the Breeding House is better looking.
"Vespiquen, we really have no hostility."
Before Lucas finished speaking, he saw the Dynamax Vespiquen looking at him with a strange look, and he turned his head to look.
"They are worried about my safety, I'm sure you can understand, right?"
The Dynamax Vespiquen: — — — —
Lucas continued: "I am the owner of a Breeding House. You should know what a Breeding House is, right? A Vespiquen also lives in my Breeding House, so please believe me, we are here to help you. I swear by the name of the Vespiquen in the Breeding House."
Breeding House, Forest Area.
"Bee!"
Atchoo~
Who is scolding me? Could it be Lucas?!
The Dynamax Vespiquen: How can I believe you?
"That's easy, Gengar."
Gengar's mouth almost split to the back of his head, holding a huge Dark Void in his hand and rushing directly towards the Dynamax Vespiquen.
The Dynamax Vespiquen: "Bee!!!"
Lucas: "You idiot, what are you doing?! Come back!"
Gengar slammed on the brakes in the air and returned to Lucas's side.
"Gen gengar?"
Aren't we beating it up?
Lucas: — — — —
Lucas took a deep breath, "I meant, take the honey brewed by the Vespiquen and give it to it, so that it can believe that what we said is true."
Gengar: Oh, okay.
Gengar said regretfully, canceled the Dark Void, and took out a jar of honey.
Lucas: What do you mean by being a little regretful — — — —
Lucas let Gengar send the honey over.
The Dynamax Vespiquen looked at the two jars of sweet honey handed to it by Gengar, and the fragrance from the open lids made it confirm at first glance that this was honey brewed by a Vespiquen, and it was brewed by a Vespiquen who was particularly good at brewing honey.
The Dynamax Vespiquen took the two jars of sweet honey and looked at Lucas.
Lucas knew that the Dynamax Vespiquen was asking him how to help itself.
"Vespiquen, can you tell me when you Dynamaxed, or why you Dynamaxed."
Listening to Lucas's inquiry, the Dynamax Vespiquen was silent for a while, and then slowly explained to Lucas.
A week ago, it brought the Combee that followed it to this forest, preparing to build a hive and brew honey, but one day, the sky suddenly became dim, and a huge figure full of terrifying aura appeared in the clouds. At that time, the Vespiquen hid in the forest and dared not fly out. After that figure disappeared, the Vespiquen dared to fly out of the forest.
But later an airship flew by and collected the particles that fell from that Pokémon. The Vespiquen itself also absorbed a large number of particles inadvertently, and then lost consciousness.
When it woke up, it found that it had become like this.
"So that's how it is — — — —"
Lucas whispered.
"Bee."
Can I return to normal?
Lucas fell silent.
Is that so — — — —
The Dynamax Vespiquen saw Lucas fall silent and said softly.
It's okay, I can brew honey now, and I can also protect the Combee in the hive, so I am very satisfied.
The Dynamax Vespiquen said with a smile.
Except for the occasional runaway.
Lucas really has no way to make a wild Dynamax Vespiquen return to its original state.
Dynamaxed wild Pokémon are different from Trainers letting Pokémon Dynamax. The latter is through the energy next to the battle field, with the help of the Dynamax Band to let the Pokémon Dynamax, while wild Pokémon Dynamax is because of some irresistible factors.
One can return to its original state, while the other cannot return to its original state.
"It's okay, Vespiquen, I will find a way to make you return to normal."
Lucas said to the Dynamax Vespiquen with a smile.
Perhaps because there is also a Vespiquen in the Breeding House, it can almost be said that it has accompanied Lucas to develop the Breeding House to this day, so Lucas couldn't bear to let this wild Dynamax Vespiquen give up hope.
Thank you, Lucas.
The Dynamax Vespiquen thanked him gently.
Lucas listened to the gentle thanks of the Dynamax Vespiquen in front of him and was stunned for a moment.
Sure enough, Vespiquen should be a gentle queen.
"Bee!"
Atchoo!
Who is scolding me?!
The Vespiquen in the Breeding House sneezed again.
"You said you would run wild?"
The Dynamax Vespiquen nodded weakly.
[part:gemini-3.0-flash]
I attacked you last night because I went berserk; ever since I grew large, my mind often goes berserk due to the discomfort.
The Dynamax Vespiquen said.
The power inside my body surges uncontrollably. If you and Gothitelle hadn't stopped and defeated me, I wouldn't have regained consciousness.
"Then these Combee—"
The Dynamax Vespiquen was silent for a moment, then nodded gently.
I told them to leave, but they refused to leave their Queen—
Lucas had Gengar and the others go treat the injured Combee. Staring at the Dynamax Vespiquen's appearance, he pondered for a moment and said, "Can I examine your body? Maybe I can find a way to control that berserk power of yours."
Really?!
The Dynamax Vespiquen asked in surprise.
"I'll do my best to try."
The Dynamax Vespiquen came to Lucas's side.
Ninetales stepped slightly in front of him.
Looking at the wary Ninetales, the Dynamax Vespiquen didn't mind.
Lucas, your Pokémon really like you.
"Thank you, I like them very much too."
Lucas said with a smile, then began examining the Dynamax Vespiquen's body.
Standing behind them, Bea didn't know what Lucas and the Dynamax Vespiquen said, but then the Dynamax Vespiquen flew to Lucas's side, and Lucas started touching her.
Bea: ?!
As expected of Senior!
Lucas examined the Dynamax Vespiquen's body, then glanced at the description in the text box.
[Vespiquen (Dynamax)]
[Gender: Female]
[Introduction: Due to accidentally inhaling energy particles scattered by Eternatus, she underwent Dynamaxing and cannot revert on her own. The violent power within her body causes constant suffering and causes her to go berserk, attacking everything in sight. Perhaps using external items to vent or soothe the violent power inside her body would have a miraculous effect?]
"I see—"
Lucas withdrew his hand and rubbed his chin.
"Gothitelle."
Lucas called out.
Gothitelle had Bea come over to help feed the herbal medicine to the Combee, then floated to Lucas's side and looked at him.
"Do you remember that herbal medicine we used to soothe Pokémon?"
Lucas asked.
Gothitelle nodded.
"Can you brew it now?"
Gothitelle hesitated for a moment, "Gothitelle?"
"Gen gengar~"
Hearing Gengar's answer, Gothitelle smiled and nodded.
"Then please brew some for me to try?"
Gothitelle nodded and then floated away.
After a while, Gothitelle floated back with a large bucket of herbal medicine.
"Vespiquen, come try this."
The Dynamax Vespiquen frowned at the obscure smell of the herbal medicine, but still drank it all.
"Be careful—it's hot—never mind."
Seeing that the Dynamax Vespiquen had finished it all, Lucas shook his head.
The Dynamax Vespiquen put the large bucket down and waited for a moment, finding that the violent energy in her body slowly calmed down.
The Dynamax Vespiquen's eyes widened.
"Bee!!!"
I feel it, it seems to have calmed down!!!
Lucas and Gothitelle looked at each other and laughed together.
[Perhaps—using the power of the heart at this time could permanently resolve the violent power?]
The text popped up again.
Lucas frowned, the power of the heart?
He didn't know how to use Aura, Viridian Power, or those other miraculous skills—
Just as Lucas was about to argue with his Golden Finger, he saw Lilligant walk up to the Dynamax Vespiquen and place her small hand on her.
"Lilli~"
A series of emerald green lights emanated from Lilligant's body and entered the Dynamax Vespiquen's body.
"Sha~" "Sha~"
Lucas saw two ethereal Pokémon flying behind Lilligant; seeing him looking at them, they smiled at him.
"Sha~"
Lucas, we are with you~
Then they merged into Lilligant's body.
"Lilli~"
Lucas's thoughts returned, and he found Lilligant smiling at him.
Lucas crouched down and pulled Lilligant into his arms.
"Thank you, Lilligant."
Lilligant gave a sweet smile.
"And thank you too—Celebi."
Lucas stood up and asked the Dynamax Vespiquen how she felt.
The Dynamax Vespiquen happily flew a few circles, knocking down several trees.
Thank you, Lucas, I feel that power has become gentle; maybe I won't have to go berserk anymore.
Lucas was sincerely happy for the Dynamax Vespiquen. He looked around and saw that the Combee had recovered. Lucas looked at her with a smile and said, "Vespiquen, although I know this request might be too much, could I ask you to take the Combee deeper into the forest?"
Lucas paused and then continued, "After all, you still can't return to your original form. I'm afraid that if others see you, it will cause panic, and I'm also afraid that bad people might come to hurt you and the Combee."
The Dynamax Vespiquen looked at Lucas gently and then nodded.
Alright.
Lucas looked back at Bea, "Bea, can you come here for a moment?"
Bea quickly ran over.
"Vespiquen, this is Bea, she's also a very good Trainer."
Hearing Lucas introduce her to the Dynamax Vespiquen, Bea let out an incredulous "Huh?"
Lucas explained the situation to Bea and stated that the Dynamax Vespiquen would no longer go berserk.
Bea felt very sorry for the Dynamax Vespiquen's plight and no longer minded that it had attacked her.
"I was thinking, if you have time in the future, could you come and check on Vespiquen for me? After all, I'm not from the Galar region, and I still need to find a way to return her to her original form."
Lucas asked.
Bea: "Ah? Senior isn't from the Galar region? Visit Vespiquen? No problem, Stow-on-Side is nearby; I'll come visit her when I'm free."
Stow-on-Side? Oh right, Bea will become the Gym Leader of Stow-on-Side in the future.
But Bea's strength should be about there by now, right?
Lucas nodded, "Thank you."
Then Lucas looked at the Dynamax Vespiquen, "She will come to visit you on my behalf in the future. I promise you, I will find a way to restore you."
The Dynamax Vespiquen smiled and nodded, then asked Lucas if he needed sweet honey.
We're preparing to leave now. There are many things in the hive; as a token of thanks, you can take some, including the sweet honey I brewed.
"Gen gengar~"
No problem~
Before Lucas could even speak, he found that Gengar had already run into the hive with Latias and Dash.
Lucas sighed, and then Gothitelle also finished handling the Combee matter and came to Lucas's side.
"Gothitelle."
The Combee and the other Pokémon have already recovered.
Looking at Gothitelle, Lucas thought of something and suddenly reached out to pull Gothitelle into his arms.
"Thank you, Gothitelle."
Gothitelle's eyes widened, then she heard Lucas's next sentence and reached out to hug him.
"It's all thanks to you guys along the way, thank you."
Gothitelle showed a gentle smile.
"Gothitelle~"
I'm so happy to be able to help Lucas; I like Lucas the most~
Lucas laughed and sniffled.
Even though I don't have that so-called Aura, Extraordinary Power, Viridian Power, or Dragon Heart, or any other abilities, I'm not afraid at all.
Because I have you all.
My favorite Pokémon.
As expected, building bonds with Pokémon is the greatest happiness!
Bea listened to Lucas's heartfelt words, looked at her own Pokémon, and then also said sincerely—
"Thank you."
"Ma Machmap."
Walking out of the forest, Lucas walked with Bea, while Lilligant walked with Gothitelle.
"Lilli."
He's quite like a child.
Gothitelle looked at Lucas's back and nodded.
"Gothitelle."
But he's very reliable.
"Strange, where are Gengar and Latias? And Dash, didn't they just come back?"
Lucas looked back and saw Gengar and the others running out of the forest.
"Gen gengar—"
Run! Lucas, we've struck it rich, run fast!
"Ma Machmap!!!"
Fast! Run!
Before Lucas could react, he suddenly heard an extremely angry cry from the forest.
"Bee!!!!"
Lucas!!!! You're dead!!!!
Lucas: !!! What did you guys do?!
When Dash passed by Lucas, he directly snatched Lucas up, threw him over his shoulder, and bolted.
Gengar was in front, and Latias was behind.
"Swoosh!"
Put Lucas down! You'll rattle him to pieces!
Ninetales quickly chased after them.
"What happened?"
Bea didn't know what was going on, but she followed Gengar and the others anyway.
Lilligant and Gothitelle looked at each other, then Lilligant gave a sweet smile, took Gothitelle's hand, and chased after Lucas.
"Lilli~"
Wait for us~
At this moment, sunlight happened to spill over them as they walked toward the light, leaving the gloomy forest behind them.
The Dynamax Vespiquen looked at her almost completely plundered hive and fell into a daze.
Where's my hive? Where's my so-very-large hive?! How is it empty?!
Recalling the figures of Gengar and the others just now, their figures leaving in a hurry, the Dynamax Vespiquen had thought they were coming back to say goodbye; she didn't expect they were coming back to move house.
The Dynamax Vespiquen let out a roar; it wasn't a berserk state, but it was even worse!
Lucas!!! I'm irreconcilable with you!!!
I told you to take some things, not to move my whole house!!!
