Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 284 The Strange Butterfly-shaped Hairfly

It was still early, so Li Shuwen left some of the prepared elf food and bid farewell to the Overlord, Kommo-o.

The Overlord Staff-tailed Armored Dragon nodded. "You have things to do, so I won't keep you any longer. Come back after you pass the test of the Butterfly-knotted Fly."

"There are lots of delicious foods in Bonney Canyon, I'll treat you to them all!"

Li Shuwen smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll definitely come back then."

The Overlord Staff-tailed Armored Dragon suddenly remembered something, "That Butterfly has a rather eccentric temper. If you want her to help you, you'd better try to please her first."

"Simply passing the test won't get you any good word for with Tapu Finch."

Li Shuwen frowned slightly. "Overlord, do you know what the Butterfly-Bound Fly likes?"

The Overlord Staff-tailed Armored Dragon shook its head. "My relationship with the Butterfly is not that good, so I can't help you with that. Perhaps you can ask the Island King."

"That old man seems to have a pretty good relationship with Butterfly."

Li Shuwen nodded. "Thank you."

On the way back, Cynthia asked curiously, "What did you talk about with the Overlord Kommo-o?"

Li Shuwen briefly recounted the conversation to Cynthia. Cynthia blinked and said, "The Butterfly offered pollen balls to Tapu Fini and gained Tapu Fini's favor."

"Shuwen, your cooking skills are so good, you could make some food for Tapu Fizz, maybe she'll be willing to see you then."

Li Shuwen smiled, "As expected of Cynthia, she's truly intelligent!"

Cynthia rolled her eyes at Li Shuwen. "Come on, you've definitely already thought of that. The problem now is what Tapu Fini likes to eat."

"Perhaps we should ask Butterfly about this. I wonder if Butterfly would be willing to tell us."

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, Li Shuwen said, "Let's go back and see Grandpa Sofwu and hear his opinion."

The return journey required no test; Li Shuwen rode Milton, and Cynthia rode Garchomp.

They soon returned to the Bony Ancient Road.

They landed at Sofwu's cabin, and Sofwu and Moen came out.

"Got the Dragon Z Crystal, huh? How do you feel about the Overlord Kommo-o?"

Li Shuwen nodded. "The Overlord Staff-tailed Armored Dragon is extremely powerful. If we challenge it again, it probably won't be so easy."

The dominant Kommo-o-Tai has rediscovered its original strength, and its combat power has at least doubled.

Even if Li Shuwen uses his Aura Power to fully assist Kommo-o, he would probably only be able to barely manage to fight the dominant Kommo-o once again to a draw.

Once the Kommo-o-Tai is familiar with its new body, its combat power will increase significantly.

But the dominant Kommo-o-Tron has once again begun training with renewed passion.

The power accumulated over hundreds of years will be terrifying.

Anyway, Li Shuwen has obtained the Dragon Z Crystal. If he wants another Dragon Z Crystal, he can go find a trainer who has undergone a test against the Totem Pokémon Kommo-o.

I guess I'm going to be in trouble...

The difference is between a dejected Densetsu who gives away badges for nothing and a Densetsu who regains his fighting spirit and is full of energy.

In the long run, this will greatly benefit the development of trainers in the Alola region.

The price they pay is that they have to suffer a bit.

Moen asked curiously, "Did Tapu Finch agree to meet with you?"

Li Shuwen shook his head. "The Overlord Kommo-o helped us find Tapu Fini, and he told us to find Ribbonfly for help."

Sofwu frowned and said, "The Ribbonfly's test on the trainer is more like a business transaction; it doesn't involve personal emotions."

"Even if I were to mediate, I'm afraid Butterfly wouldn't help."

Li Shuwen frowned and asked, "What does that butterfly fly like?"

Sofwu said with a smile, "The butterfly fly likes to collect pollen and nectar, and mix different types and proportions of pollen and nectar to make pollen balls."

"There are many types of pollen balls. If the dominant butterfly fly has any hobbies, it might be appreciating new varieties of flowers and trying to make pollen balls."

"If you want her to help, you need to provide flowers that Butterfly has never seen before."

Sofv sighed, "But the Alola region brings together people from all over the world, who bring their hometown food, plants, and Pokémon."

"Due to the Alora Islands' unique climate, almost every type of flower can be found there."

Li Shuwen nodded. He had seen more than ten different kinds of flowers along the Boni Ancient Road and in the Boni Grand Canyon.

Finding a flower that the butterfly fly has never seen before is indeed very difficult.

Cynthia frowned and said, "I'll go online and see if there are any flowers that are so rare that they only grow in specific regions and don't exist in the Alora.

Li Shuwen raised his hand to stop her, "I already have some ideas on how to persuade Butterfly."

Moen looked at Li Shuwen curiously, "How do you plan to persuade Butterfly?"

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "No rush. Before I go to see Butterfly, I plan to prepare a gift for Tapu Finch."

"Grandpa, I'd like to ask you to help me find a Primarina so it can taste the gift I made for Tapu Fizz."

Sofvu's eyes lit up. "That's definitely a good idea."

Moen began, "I have a friend who lives in the village of ocean dwellers, and his ace is a sirens sea lion."

"Let's go find him; he and West Lion Seaman will definitely be willing to help."

Sofwu waved his hand and said, "No, we should find a wild sirens, preferably an older one."

"These factors combined have led me to a good candidate."

Sofwu stroked his beard. "East of Bonny Island is a small island with a cave in its rocky cliffs, inhabited by a tribe of West Lion-Hairen."

"Your friend's Primarina was most likely subdued by this tribe. The leader of the Primarina tribe is a Primarina that has lived for almost a hundred years."

"Asking her for help will definitely be fine."

Li Shuwen nodded. This kind of seasoned food connoisseur was indeed the kind of taste tester he needed.

Sofwu thumped his lower back. "Let's go, the old man will take you to see her."

Sofv released a clay giant, which crouched down, and Sofv walked onto the clay giant's palm.

"Come with me."

The clay giant soared into the sky, its lower body retracting into its body, flames spewing from its abdomen.

Li Shuwen rode Milton, and Cynthia rode Garchomp.

They also took to the sky and followed the clay giant eastward.

Moen immediately released a Hakuryu, mounted it, and exclaimed, "Wait, I'm not on the vehicle yet!"

Sofwut laughed and said, "Moen, why aren't you home with your wife and kids? What are you doing here causing trouble?"

Moen smiled. "I have a feeling that if I follow Brother Shuwen, I might be able to see the ultimate monster I've always dreamed of!"

Li Shuwen blinked. "Brother Moen, I didn't even know I had the potential to attract Ultra Beasts. How did you know?"

Moen stared at him blankly. "I don't know, it's just a gut feeling!"

Scientists are scientific in their work, but they also trust their intuition.

Li Shuwen was both amused and exasperated. The peak season for Ultra Beasts wouldn't arrive for another seven or eight years, and Ash was traveling to the Alola region.

and many more!

Speaking of Ultra Beasts, there really is one Ultra Beast that is sleeping on an island in the Alola region.
