Coming out of the cave, Bai Feng appeared in front of a green grassland. At the end of the grassland was a big tree, and there was a wooden house next to the tree.
That should be Grandma Maple's residence, right? Bai Feng thought.
"Photoelectric umbrella lizard, flower sea lion, let's go!"
Bai Feng shouted and ran towards the wooden house with two Pokémon.
When he walked into the wooden house, Bai Feng found that there were flower beds in front of the house, and each flower bed was full of various bright and beautiful flowers.
In the middle of the flower bed, there is a beautiful orchid mantis watering the flower with a kettle, its movements are elegant and quiet.
Judging from the breath that Orchid Mantis occasionally leaked, Bai Feng could conclude that this was an extremely powerful Pokémon.
Orchid Mantis also saw Bai Feng and the others at this time. Its attitude was very friendly, and it even waved to Bai Feng.
"La La~" Hello, young man.
"Hello, I want to see Grandma Maple." Bai Feng said.
"La La~" That's it, just wait a moment.
Lan Mantra nodded politely, then turned around and called behind her. She saw an old woman lying on a lounge chair and taking a leisurely nap under the big tree not far away.
There is a slightly smaller recliner next to her, and lying on it is a big-mouthed baby. The expressions of each Pokémon are exactly the same.
Hearing the call of Orchid Mantis, Grandma Maple slowly opened her eyes. She squinted at Bai Feng, and then waved to Bai Feng.
Bai Feng quickly ran over with two Pokémon.
"Young man, it seems that you defeated Sonic Dragon, so you are pretty good." Grandma Maple said with a smile on her face.
The Sonic Dragon and the Buzzing Bat were placed there intentionally by Grandma Maple. Firstly, she wanted to stop some people who did not know their own abilities from coming, and secondly, she wanted to test the strength of those who came.
If his strength is qualified and he is not too old, Grandma Maple will consider whether to accept him as a disciple and train him to take over her class.
"Grandma Maple, my name is Bai Feng, I'm here..." Bai Feng was about to tell the purpose of his trip, but was suddenly interrupted by Grandma Maple.
"Bai Feng, right..." Grandma Maple looked at the sky, and then asked, "Come over the mountains and ridges, you probably haven't had lunch yet, and I haven't eaten either, so let's have some together."
After saying that, she got up from the recliner and pushed the big-mouthed boy with his eyes closed.
"Cool?"
The big-mouthed baby sat up from the recliner with a confused look on its face. Only then did Bai Feng notice that there was a super evolution stone tied to its hair.
When Bai Feng saw it at first, he thought it was just a decorative gem.
"Get up, how long do you want to sleep?" Grandma Maple said, patting the big-mouthed baby on the head.
"Cool... cool..." You obviously slept with me!
The big-mouthed boy rubbed his eyes and muttered.
"Young man, come together." Grandma Maple waved to Bai Feng and said.
Bai Feng had no choice but to follow Grandma Maple through the door.
Grandma Maple's house is not big, but the decoration inside is very elegant, with a kind of classical beauty, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye.
What surprised Bai Feng was that Grandma Maple actually cooked the food herself.
Bai Feng quickly ran over and said, "Let me help too."
"Okay." Grandma Maple said with a kind smile, "He is a good young man."
Bai Feng smiled shyly.
He also let Brímwen out to help, and Brímwen was much more efficient at work than he was.
Grandma Maple couldn't help but glance at Blimwen.
Of course, Bai Feng and Blimwen only helped Grandma Maple, and Grandma Maple herself was in charge of the cooking.
Although Grandma Maple is not young, she is nimble in her movements, works quickly, and her cooking skills are very good. After a while, an attractive fragrance wafts in the kitchen.
Several times, Bai Feng wanted to take the opportunity to tell her why he was here today, but Grandma Maple just didn't answer, as if she was interrupting on purpose.
At this time, Bai Feng finally understood why Miss Joy said that Grandma Maple was not easy to talk to. She clearly spoke softly, had a kind smile, and was kind and polite to others.
Grandma Maple didn't cook much, but it should be enough to eat. When the dishes were placed on the table, Bai Feng finished his lunch in an awkward atmosphere.
During the meal, Grandma Maple didn't say a word, and she ate very little. After finishing her meal, she sat there and watched Bai Feng quietly eating until Bai Feng finished all the remaining dishes.
To be fair, Grandma Maple's cooking skills were very good, but Bai Feng's food was tasteless.
After the big-mouthed boy put away all the dishes, Bai Feng opened his mouth again: "Grandma Maple, I..."
But Grandma Maple interrupted him again.
"Young man Bai Feng, where do you come from?"
Bai Feng replied: "I'm from Biyi City."
"Biyi City, that's not far." Grandma Maple nodded.
Having been interrupted so many times, Bai Feng guessed that Grandma Maple might not want to help him, or even wanted to know what his request was, and he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.
Seeing Bai Feng's disappointed look, Grandma Maple stood up and said, "We just finished lunch, let's do some activities."
Bai Feng thought it was some kind of activity, but it turned out to be flower arrangement.
Bai Feng was brought to the flower room by Grandma Maple, and saw the orchid mantis bringing in many fresh flowers and plants.
"Young man, let's release all your Pokémon, too, let's all join in."
Bai Feng nodded and released the Optoelectronic Umbrella Lizard, Flowery Sea Lion, Little Diamond, Young Kilas, Jucaoye, Brímwen and Miaomiao siblings.
As for Captain Fiery Arrow Eagle, it was too big to be placed in the flower room, so Bai Feng didn't let it out.
After seeing Bai Feng's Pokémon, Grandma Maple nodded with satisfaction. It looked good.
"Then let's get started. You can use the flowers and plants here as you like. If you need anything else, you can get it from Orchid Mantis."
Everyone nodded.
So the flower arrangement activity began.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone stopped what they were doing one after another.
Grandma Maple is a master of flower arrangement, and her works are very beautiful, like works of art.
Looking at Bai Feng, Young Gilas and Xiao Zuizhuang don’t understand flower arrangement at all, and they have no aesthetic taste. They just randomly put some colorful words together, which is simply indescribable.
They probably knew that their work was not good, so they hid aside and giggled.
Huayang Haishi was not patient enough, and she did it well at first, but then she started to fool around with it, and the final result was not visible.
As for the chrysanthemum leaves and the photoelectric umbrella lizard, the situation is better. Not to mention how much ornamental and artistic value they have, but at least they are not eye-catching at first glance.
The one with the most online aesthetics is Blimwin, which was created in collaboration with the Miaomiao siblings. However, its works are good-looking, but Bai Feng can see that it is actually imitating Grandma Maple, and the works lack some aura. .
Bai Feng could see it, and so could Granny Maple. Granny Maple even shook her head with regret.
The quality of Bai Feng's works is somewhere between Chrysanthemum Grass Leaf, Photoelectric Umbrella Lizard and Blimwen. It's not ugly, but it's not outstanding either.
"Alas~"
After finishing the flower arrangement, Grandma Maple sighed.
"Young man, please go back. Although I don't know why you came to me, I won't help you."
"Grandma Maple..."
Bai Feng still wanted to fight for it, but Grandma Maple raised her hand to stop him.
At this moment, Bai Feng suddenly thought of Miss Joy's last reminder.
"Grandma Maple, do you want to take on a disciple that you like?"
Maple looked at Bai Feng in surprise.
"Young man, how did you know?"
Although it is not a secret that she now lives in Musden Mountain, not many people know that she wants to take on a disciple.
Bai Feng answered honestly: "Miss Joy told me."
Grandma Maple suddenly understood after hearing this. Thinking of old Joey, she understood everything.
"Grandma Maple just asked us to arrange flower arrangements as part of the test?" Bai Feng asked doubtfully.
"That's right." Grandma Maple nodded.
"But can you judge my talent just because of a flower arrangement?" Bai Feng asked unconvinced.
"Of course not." Grandma Maple replied, "But talent is not the most important thing to become a trainer. The process of a person arranging flowers can reflect many things, although I don't know how talented you are as a trainer. , but I can see that you are not suitable to be my disciple!"
Bai Feng was really stunned. He understood what Grandma Maple meant. The apprentice that Grandma Maple wanted to accept did not have to be the most talented, but he had to be the one who suited her best.
It is not a pity for Bai Feng to miss the opportunity to become the champion's apprentice.
After a moment of silence, Bai Feng suddenly looked at Grandma Maple and said, "If I can help you find a disciple you like, will you be willing to help me?"
Grandma Maple was stunned when she heard this, and then said with a smile on her face:
"As long as you can help me find an apprentice, I will agree to any conditions, as long as I can do it without violating morality and alliance laws."
Bai Feng said firmly: "That is final."
"It's a deal." Grandma Maple suddenly looked forward to whether Bai Feng could bring her a surprise.
"Then I'll say goodbye today." Bai Feng stood up and said goodbye to Grandma Maple.
Grandma Maple nodded and said, "Okay, Lan Manhua, you can give the boy Bai Feng a gift."
Under the escort of Orchid Mantis, Bai Feng passed through the cave smoothly.
On the way back to Salo City, Brimwen looked guilty.
"Lim~Lim~" I'm sorry, boss, it's all because of me that you have to work so hard.
Bai Feng patted it and comforted it: "What are you talking about? Aren't you my partner? I will definitely find a way to cure you."
The Miaomiao siblings also continued to comfort Brimwen, saying that they would stay with Brimwen no matter what.
Brimwen was very moved and looked at Bai Feng and Miao Miao with tears in her eyes.
Back in Salo City, Bai Feng found a hotel to stay temporarily, and then began to think about what kind of apprentice he would find for Grandma Maple.
The first thing she thought of was Karuna, who was the future champion of the Kalos region. Didn't Grandma Maple want to find a successor?
Who else could be more suitable than Kalunai?
Thinking of this, Bai Feng couldn't help but get excited, and he immediately dialed Kokarunai's phone number.
"Hey, it turns out to be Bai Feng! Do you already know? Did Fradali tell you?"
Karunai's cheerful voice soon came from the other end of the phone, but what she said made Bai Feng a little confused.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Bai Feng asked.
"Huh?" Karuna was also stunned, "Well... didn't you call me when you knew I was going to Biz City?"
When Bai Feng heard this, he was instantly ecstatic. Kalunai is coming to Byi City? Isn't this a pillow for sleeping?
It turns out that Fradali's company recently invested in a movie and invited Karunai to be the heroine. The filming location of the movie was in Byi City, so Karunai thought it would be a good time to go see Bai Feng and give him a surprise.
When Bai Feng called just now, Kalunai thought it was Fradali who told Bai Feng about this, but she didn't expect it was just a misunderstanding.
"No, I'm looking for you for another matter..."
So Bai Feng told Karunai that Grandma Maple wanted to accept a disciple, and asked Karunai if she wanted to give it a try.
After listening to Bai Feng's words, Karuna instantly let out a series of screams.
"Ahhhh!!! Bai Feng, is it true what you said, Champion Maple wants to take on a disciple?"
Bai Feng replied: "Of course it's true. I just came back from Grandma Maple today and I failed the test."
"I know, you wait for me in Salo City, I'll rush over right away, be sure to wait for me!" Kalunai said excitedly.
"So you agreed?" Bai Feng asked.
"Of course. Why didn't I agree to such a rare opportunity? Do you know? Champion Maple is the person I admire the most. Being able to become her apprentice is simply my dream."
Karuna, who had always been calm, suddenly became chatty.
Seeing Karuna agree, Bai Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Although becoming Maple's grandma's apprentice was a great thing, Bai Feng was still a little worried that Karuna would not be interested.
Since Grandma Maple is Karuna's idol, that's perfect.
Kalunai was already almost arriving at Biyi City. After receiving a call from Bai Feng, she directly transferred to the express aircraft, so she arrived at Salo City the next afternoon and successfully met up with Bai Feng. .
In order to participate in this test, Kalunai directly asked for leave from the film crew.
Well, the biggest investor in that movie was Fradali, so as long as Fradali said hello, the film side would obediently let him go.
Today, Karuna is just a teenage girl, not a famous star in the future. Although she is somewhat famous, it would not be easy for the movie to release her without Fradali to say hello.
Kalunai was so excited that she had to go directly to accept the test as soon as she met Bai Feng.
Of course Bai Feng himself was anxious. Every day of delay was burning money, but he still advised Kalunai:
"You are going to meet your idol after all, so you should tidy up and stop being so busy."
Grandma Maple is a very particular person, and Bai Feng is really afraid that Kalunai will go away in the world and not be favored in the end.
It is also a kind of etiquette to sharpen the knife before chopping wood. It is better to pack it up before going.
Fortunately, Kalunai listened to the advice and tidied up the hotel where Bai Feng lived before setting off with Bai Feng.
