"Boss, this place is truly beautiful!"
Yuli looked at the fully bloomed terraced flower garden and said to Rex with awe.
It had been a few days since Celebi left, and today, Rex had invited the beautiful florist from Mauville City, Koko, to visit Rex Farm and discuss a supply plan for Gracidea Flowers.
Lately, whenever Yuli had time, she would visit the terraced garden. Although the Gracidea Flowers were now in full bloom and did not need the move Grassy Terrain to accelerate growth, and the natural weed growth was slow, she still enjoyed coming here.
"We should be grateful to Celebi. Without its help, we would have had to wait several more months to see this scene!"
Rex responded with a smile.
"Yes, next time Celebi visits our farm, I will definitely prepare a lot of its favorite foods for it," Yuli said earnestly, indicating her deep gratitude towards Celebi.
"Achoo!"
In an unknown forest of time and space, Celebi suddenly sneezed, feeling somewhat puzzled. After all, it was a legendary mythical Pokémon; how could it catch a cold?
While Rex and Yuli were admiring the beautiful Gracidea flower field, Karen and Yui arrived, leading a slender, graceful girl, who was accompanied by a beautiful Flower Pokémon.
"Welcome, Ms. Koko!"
Rex greeted Koko with a smile.
"Rex, I am really surprised. How did you manage to cultivate so many Gracidea Flowers in such a short time?"
Koko looked at the sea of Gracidea Flowers before her with amazement, her gaze toward Rex as if he were a monster.
After receiving Rex's call yesterday, Koko found it hard to believe what he had said. Therefore, she came out today to see for herself. Seeing so many Gracidea Flowers, her doubts disappeared, replaced by curiosity about how Rex managed to achieve this.
"This was just a stroke of luck, thanks to the power of a certain powerful Pokémon. Now that Pokémon has left, I won't be able to create such a miracle in the future."
Rex briefly explained the situation to Koko, completely concealing the matter about Celebi.
Koko understood that Rex likely had his reasons for withholding information, so she did not press further but instead began discussing the Gracidea Flower supply arrangements with him.
In the end, they agreed that Rex Farm would send Gracidea Flowers to Koko's beautiful flower shop in Mauville City once a week.
As for the delivery person, Rex had already chosen Karen. Although her Taillow had not evolved yet, it would be temporarily replaced by the farm's Swellow for deliveries.
Rex only needed to prepare a larger capacity backpack to transform her into the farm's delivery person.
As for Karen herself, Rex had already consulted her, and she was very excited about becoming Rex Farm's aerial courier, or rather, she was eager for the opportunity.
Her heart, itching to soar through the skies, could no longer be suppressed.
Rex felt that if things continued this way, Karen might become a specialist in Flying-type Pokémon in the future.
For sustainable development, the quantity of Gracidea Flowers supplied would not be too high, but the stability and continuous supply would ensure Koko's shop received a steady stream of Gracidea Flowers.
This was the core of their transaction agreement. According to Rex's expectations, as long as the transaction continued, it would bring several tens of thousands of Alliance Coins to Rex Farm each month.
After all, Gracidea Flowers were quite expensive, and Rex had reduced the monthly sales quantity for sustainable development. While the amount of money wasn't huge, it was steady. As the terraced garden continued to grow, the revenue would also increase.
Moreover, Rex's costs were limited to the labor for harvesting and delivering the Gracidea Flowers. He no longer needed to invest additional resources; the terraced garden would only produce.
Once Rex introduced a swarm of Combee, the terraced garden could also provide a continuous supply of honey, a highly sought-after commodity enjoyed by many people and Pokémon.
After envisioning a bright future, Rex began showing Koko around Rex Farm. Since the business was settled, the remaining task was to enjoy time with friends.
"By the way, Ms. Koko, is your Bellossom now proficient in using the move Grassy Terrain?"
As Rex led Koko along the path to the artificial lake, he noticed Bellossom and asked.
"Bellossom has been a great help during this time. With its Grassy Terrain, some rare flowers I planted have survived, and their growth rate has increased significantly," Koko replied, gently hugging Bellossom and petting its little head.
Bellossom, who had been chattering with Bounsweet, was a bit confused when suddenly picked up by its trainer. However, the gentle touch from its trainer made it close its eyes in contentment.
This scene made Bounsweet envious, and it looked at its trainer with teary eyes, hoping for the same kind of attention.
Rex felt a bit awkward under Bounsweet's gaze, quickly picking it up and feeding it an energy cube he carried with him.
This calmed Bounsweet, making it contentedly munch on the delicious energy cube.
At this moment, Bounsweet felt an unprecedented sense of happiness. Life at Rex Farm was something it never dared to imagine before. Here, everyone and every Pokémon were so harmonious and friendly.
The only dissatisfaction was that Rex, the trainer, often went out, making them meet infrequently. However, Rex's recent actions still warmed its heart.
After Bounsweet finished the entire energy cube, its body suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.
"Is this... an evolution?"
Rex watched Bounsweet glowing and quickly put it down on the ground, waiting for the evolution to complete.
Nearby, Teddiursa and Exeggcute also gathered around, surprised that Bounsweet, the crybaby, was the first to evolve.
Nevertheless, they were happy for Bounsweet. Teddiursa kept circling Bounsweet, while Exeggcute bounced up and down with joy.
"I remember that Bounsweet evolves when its bond with its trainer reaches a certain level. I think Bounsweet must really like you," Koko said, gently stroking Bellossom's head.
Rex watched Bounsweet evolve and felt that he hadn't given it much attention. He was surprised that such a small gesture had led to its evolution.
This made Rex feel a bit embarrassed. He thought he hadn't done much, but Bounsweet had already recognized him as its trainer.
