"Alright, alright, I won't tease it!" Bai Hong hooked his finger and gently tapped the insect's head outside.
The force applied was just right, not painful but enough to dazed the bug for a couple of seconds. The bug's head looked a bit like a baby snake from an animation, with eyes that stood up like rabbit ears; it was hard to imagine it was a dragon.
Honeybug, the Sugar Apple Pokémon, evolves from a special apple that can only be grown in a certain region. It is a Pokémon that is two in one: the Outer Beetle, which has its head sticking out, and the Inner Beetle, which has its tail sticking out, help each other and live together inside the apple.
It wraps apples in honey produced from its own body; the fragrant honey layer can confuse opponents. Its attribute is Grass Dragon.
Bick~
Bictini is going around in circles.
Clearly, they were curious about honeybees.
裹～
In gratitude to Bictini.
The outer insect gestured for it to taste the white honey.
Bini~
Then I won't be polite!
I've wanted to try Bictini for a long time.
Like a white swan, it dipped its hand in white honey and put it in its mouth. Perhaps feeling it wasn't enough, it dipped its hand in honey twice more.
It's so delicious! The white honey tastes like it's made from milk and then frozen in the refrigerator for half a day. Otherwise, the flavor wouldn't be so rich. It's just the right amount of sweet and not too cloying.
"Let's call the white honey 'Creamy Honey'," Bai Hong said, asking Gengar to fetch a jar. He then used a wooden spoon to collect some creamy honey from the Honeybug.
I just scraped off two layers of cream and honey.
New secretions are produced.
The output seems to be quite high.
In no time, they had collected a small jar, but it was too little to sell, so they could only keep it for themselves.
Bini~
Give me a little more.
I'm addicted to bictini.
At this moment, I wish I could hug the honey bug and lick it indiscriminately, or more precisely, hug the honey bug and lick the creamy apples on its body indiscriminately.
After evolution, the honeybee has become one with the cream apple, so the cream apple is now part of its body.
Although its skin has assimilated to white and it looks like a small white snake, the long horn on its head is a tender green color. Moreover, the two leaves at the end of its tail are also a tender green color.
It looks quite refreshing.
The area is covered in heavy snow.
Two green leaves sprouted from the tender bud.
That's pretty much the feeling.
"From now on, you'll be called Guoguo, and they'll all be under your control." Bai Hong was too lazy to come up with a name, so he simply chose the character "Guo."
裹～
It was overjoyed.
Having a name signifies status.
After these days of observation, Guoguo discovered that not all Pokémon here have names; only those that are valued receive such an honor, and their status is equivalent to that of the leader of the entire group.
The outer worm bumped its tail against the inner worm's head, celebrating quietly like a high-five.
The other four fruit-eating worms living on the cream apple were incredibly envious. If they had been touched by Victini earlier, they might have been the ones to evolve, instead of Guoguo seizing the opportunity.
ah~
They sighed one after another.
They simply can't hide their emotions.
"Don't be discouraged, it's your turn next." Bai Hong exchanged glances with Victini, signaling it to continue sharing energy.
Bini~
Bictini understood immediately.
Touch them one by one, just like before.
The other four fruit-eating worms received this powerful energy of victory, and their bodies burst forth with dazzling light. Unexpectedly, they evolved at the same time. This scene was worth recording with a Rotom phone.
Victini, as a Victory Pokémon, has the ability Victory Star, and what it shares should be called Victory Energy.
Ding~
Their shapes gradually increased in size.
Long horns grew on its head.
The tail gets thicker.
Inside the invisible cream apple, an apple caterpillar is splitting into two, a truly incredible process.
"They're filming!"
Kirachi is holding a camera.
I asked Yongxin to buy this a while ago, and now it's finally coming in handy. It's showing some interest in video recording.
Bai Hong was also holding a Rotom phone next to him, taking notes carefully, thinking it might come in handy later. Although he didn't have any plans to become a researcher at the moment, this material was enough to cause a sensation in the research community.
Unlike common honeybees.
This is a special variety.
Extremely cold-resistant.
The harsher the environment, the better the quality of the secreted cream apples. No wonder Ice Baby, Snow Baby, and Flash Baby were lying nearby, with the rhomboid ice crystals on their sides constantly releasing cold air.
Actually, this can't be called a mutation. The real mutation is the cream apple. It lives inside the cream apple and its attributes haven't changed after evolution, but it has developed a special physique that is resistant to cold.
When the evolutionary white light faded, all four fruit-eating worms that had been living inside the cream apple successfully evolved into honey-wrapping worms.
Thanks to Victini, otherwise it's unknown how long they would have had to wait. The Victory Energy unexpectedly helped them break through the bottleneck and completely merge with the Cream Apple, thus triggering the opportunity for evolution.
裹～
The four little ones were very happy.
It kept jumping around on the grass.
However, there were actually eight snakes and insects. Because there were so many, Bai Hong could only count two as a whole.
The Honeybee hasn't evolved into the Honeybee yet, but you can call them "Snake-Bug" instead; it sounds kind of cute.
Five apple-shaped dragons were standing nearby.
I was incredibly envious.
They cannot degenerate into fruit-eating insects.
There was no choice from the beginning.
Honey~
Xiao Feng chews grass.
He lay there lazily.
It takes things very lightly.
It's fine as it is now.
Honey~
The mistress leaned closer.
I greeted Guoguo.
It was as if they were congratulating it.
I also licked the creamy honey.
裹～
You are welcome.
Guoguo was in a particularly good mood.
I don't mind being fawned over by a mistress.
There were also sixteen fruit-eating worms on the nearby grass, all of whom had witnessed this scene, their pupils shining with hope.
Of course, Bai Hong did not ignore them, but he did not have any cream apples at the moment. He had to wait for the cream apple saplings over there to grow, blossom, and bear cream apples.
"Those who want to evolve into insect dragons, step forward!" Bai Hong frowned, clearly unable to tell. Hadn't he asked for their opinions beforehand? Five of them intended to evolve into flying insect dragons.
Let's nibble away!
They crawled forward.
There were exactly five, no more and no less.
The remaining eleven haven't decided what they'll evolve into yet. Whether it's a special Honeybee or a flying Insect Dragon, there are many possibilities. In addition, there's the Honeybee Dragon evolution branch.
For them, there seem to be five options: first, the honeydew dragon; second, the ordinary honeydew worm; third, the special honeydew worm; fourth, the apple-wrapped dragon; and fifth, the flying insect dragon.
In terms of potential, Honeybug is definitely the best, since it can evolve into Honeybee, which has a base stat total of 540.
Bai Hongxian focused on the five fruit-eating insects in front of him. This was the trouble of taming too many. After repeated verification over this period of time, it was found that if they wanted to maintain their original insect-dragon attributes, they could not burrow into the apple.
Once they burrow into an apple, their Bug type will be replaced with Grass type. However, as apple-dwelling Pokémon, they cannot go against their nature and must live inside the apple like hermit crabs.
How to do?
They racked their brains over this.
I came up with a solution on the spot.
That is to eliminate the plant-like properties of apples.
