The evolution of Blissey rendered the Evolutionary Wondrous Stone useless.
Considerate as it is, knowing that continuing to hold onto this item is a waste, it secretly passed the Evolutionary Wondrous Stone to Porygon when Baimu wasn't looking.
"happy!"
"Pory..."
Seeing Blissey's earnest expression and the gray stone in its hand, Porygon, understanding the effect of the Evolutionary Wondrous Stone, inexplicably felt a sense of inheritance.
An inheritance from a respectable and adorable predecessor.
"Pory!"
I will definitely make good use of it!
Porygon, already holding a great deal of respect for Blissey, felt a wave of emotion, and its Trust Level soared to a degree that would make Baimu envious.
By the time Baimu noticed the change of ownership of the Evolutionary Wondrous Stone, it was already when Porygon was sent into battle.
An unexpected endurance capacity quickly led him to consider the Evolutionary Wondrous Stone, and upon turning to ask Blissey, it turned out to be true. However, this fellow truly had a big heart; previously being asked like this would 100% cause it to lower its head and stare at the ground, constantly rubbing its two little hands.
Now, it dared to meet his gaze.
Although its little hands were still rubbing.
On one hand, Baimu felt amused yet on the other deeply touched; he knew the Evolutionary Wondrous Stone was especially treasured by Blissey, considering it a gift from the Trainer, a sign of favor, often taking it out to polish during free time.
But when realizing that giving it to Porygon could maximize its utility, Blissey handed it over without hesitation, without even discussing with him.
Maybe thinking he wouldn't agree?
"You little rascal..." Baimu caressed Blissey's fluffy and curled pink hair, choosing not to retrieve the Evolutionary Wondrous Stone from Porygon, but instead buying a new one.
Because he knew this was Blissey's own decision, and as the Trainer, he must respect his Pokémon's choice.
From the very beginning.
He told Blissey to do what it deemed right, even the Trainer couldn't interfere lightly.
Thus that afternoon, he went to the department store to buy various colored yarns and two long needles, weaving a nurse cap from memory.
"This is a gift to celebrate your new life."
Baimu placed the nurse cap on Blissey's head, observing the latter's expression of disbelief mixed with joy, saying: "Although I can't make you a Pokémon Nurse, at least we can pretend... Hmm, it does look the part!"
"happy!"
Blissey held the cap atop its head, looking at itself in the mirror, overwhelmingly moved as it dashed into his arms.
It never expected the Trainer to give it such a big surprise!
A hand-crafted nurse cap.
"happy~~"
Blissey was reluctant to wear it, afraid it might get dirty or damaged, gingerly holding it, joyfully sniffing its familiar scent.
On the other side,
Baimu was undergoing "interrogations" spearheaded by Mawile and other Pokémon.
Missing Blissey's evolution already made some Pokémon who equally valued this partner displeased, and now the Trainer went and knitted a hat for Blissey alone?
No more excuses——
Me! Too! Want! One!
"Hey-woo!" "Hey-woo!"
"Chi-ko!"
"...Por-pory?"
"Bo~"
"Grr! Grr!"
All Pokémon suddenly glanced at Aggron, as if asking why it yelled twice?
Aggron stood tall and proud, "Grr!"
I was shouting for Steelix!
The Galarian Corsola on the bed subtly opened its eyes and closed them again, uninterested in such matters.
After all, you'll have those that should come, and whatever doesn't, contending won't bring it.
Galarian Corsola has long seen through worldly affairs.
"You guys..." Baimu touched his forehead speechlessly, fortunately anticipating such occurrences early on, thus purchasing particularly abundant yarn.
But considering space limitations—except for short scarves and hats, don't expect other styles.
"Lucky for you Hoenn's winter shouldn't be too cold," he patted the Zweilous's head, assuming Sinnoh's regions must be much colder in winter?
Zweilous seemed a bit puzzled, a hundred or so pounds of it hasn't yet tasted the chill.
Talking about the influences after Blissey's evolution,
aside from character impact, there's also its physical frame to consider.
Due to growth in width and height, an originally tight space became even narrower, especially when squeezing three Pokémon and a person onto one bed.
Fortunately, Galarian Corsola was small enough, offering much comfort.
But for nightly harmony, avoiding tumbling off the bed during turns,
Baimu made a bold decision—
Sleeping diagonal.
Like a tangram, he found an optimal way on the bed for all the residents to avoid falling off during turns.
The next day promptly switching to a room with a queen-size bed.
Successfully addressing a significant crisis around him...
Perhaps?
Heaven knows how much more massive Zweilous will grow post-evolution, its current form is already exaggerated, far surpassing the Illustrated Guide's average standard.
Can't imagine the size after evolution.
Just hope it won't collapse the bed.
——
Three afternoons post Blissey's evolution clearing the skies, Baimu finally welcomed a new round of simulator opportunities.
Since Sister Xiangfen's simulation last time, this marks the fourth.
Theoretically, a Blue Talent might appear.
To some degree, he anticipated; if no particularly challenging opponents come, akin to the calligrapher's case, winning the tournament championship by a stroke of luck could mean Zweilous is not far from evolving.
