Noibat landed beside Julian, picked out two Berries from Vibrava’s fruit basket, and handed one to Julian.

After taking a bite of the Berry, Noibat said arrogantly, "Ultrasonic waves are something with great aesthetic value."

"What you released just now can only be considered noise. I don’t understand why you like that kind of sound."

Vibrava was quite angry.

"What right do you have to say my ultrasonic waves are rubbish?"

Noibat smiled.

"I didn’t say your ultrasonic waves were rubbish. I only said they were noise! Let me ask you one simple question. Can you tell which fruit in this basket tastes good, which one tastes bad, and which one has gone rotten?"

Vibrava froze.

Whether food tasted good or not, wasn’t that something you knew after taking a bite?

Why make it so troublesome?

Noibat directly used Psychic power to divide the Berries into three piles.

"Do you understand now?"

Vibrava also released ultrasonic waves to scan those Berries.

But she could not distinguish them.

Julian, however, suddenly understood!

Noibat and Noivern had large ears, allowing them to receive the ultrasonic waves they released!

Vibrava’s ultrasonic waves might be stronger than Noibat’s.

But they lacked the most important function!

The point was not simply distinguishing whether Berries tasted good or bad.

It was distinguishing whether they would make you fall asleep after eating them.

Julian directly crouched down and smelled the three piles of Berries.

Noibat was very confident. It had trained for a long time to master how to distinguish Berries.

Julian smelled them carefully.

The first pile of Berries had little fragrance. The second pile had a pleasant scent and smelled like good Berries.

The third pile was the largest and had the richest fragrance.

At the same time, it carried a temptation that made a dragon want to eat the Berries instinctively.

If he were truly an ordinary Gible, he would not be able to resist that temptation at all.

Julian took one Berry from each of the three types and bit into them one after another.

The second and third types contained roughly similar amounts of energy.

The third had a little more, but eating only a few would make a dragon fall asleep.

It was even worse than the sugar crash after eating too many sweets.

This was a method the Fairy type used to control the Dragon type.

But looking at it from another angle, this was also a good opportunity for Dragon-type Pokémon to improve their resistance to the Fairy type.

There was Fairy energy mixed inside. That was why the Berries were so tempting. Dragon-type Pokémon had great difficulty digesting Fairy energy.

But if they could digest it, the improvement it brought would also be greater.

The condition was that they could not fall asleep.

Aside from ultrasonic waves, Julian believed the more important thing was relying on his own willpower.

Applin did not eat the problematic Berries, but had it not also failed to evolve?

Julian directly packed up all the problematic Fairy Berries and walked over to Applin.

"Mate, if you want to improve, you can’t be picky."

Applin looked at Julian indifferently.

It had stayed here for so long. How could it not know what the correct method was?

Problematic Berries could not be eaten.

That was simply how it was!

Julian picked up one Berry and resisted the urge to eat it in one breath, taking small bites instead.

At the same time, he smiled and said, "The ones on the surface are just small fry. The truly big fish are hidden underwater. If we don’t eat the Berries, how are we supposed to face the big fish?"

Applin suddenly froze.

Only now did it realise that it had always ignored one problem.

If the Berries had a problem, then who had created these problematic Berries?

Not eating the Berries might expose an even bigger problem!

Applin immediately crawled to a Berry and began eating it.

Although Applin worked hard to control itself, it still could not hold back.

Noibat, who had originally been confronting Vibrava, noticed something wrong with Applin and immediately flew back, carefully using Supersonic on Applin.

Only then did Applin stop and begin struggling against the Berry it had eaten.

Julian looked around but did not sense anything unusual.

"Only by digesting the Berries can we become stronger."

Tasting the Berry carefully, Julian did indeed taste a hint of Fairy energy.

If he had never been Tinkaton, Julian definitely would not have been able to tell.

The one secretly arranging this Dragon-type trap was definitely an expert!

If he wanted an S-rank evaluation, the most important thing was endurance!

Just then, Milotic rose from the centre of the lake.

She radiated a ruby-like glow that soothed the heart.

Milotic’s concert was very similar to Primarina’s.

But Milotic was gentler. The Dragon Pokémon around them were not being controlled and forcibly stuffed with large amounts of Berries.

With Vibrava using ultrasonic waves on him from time to time, Julian maintained his reason.

In the blink of an eye, a month quietly passed.

During this period, Julian also went to critically observe other Pokémon performances.

Milotic’s performance really was the gentlest.

The harshest one was surprisingly not the Fairy-type Primarina.

It was the Dragon-type Altaria.

As expected, the only thing harsher than an enemy was a traitor.

Today was another Milotic concert.

Julian and Vibrava met Applin and Noibat beneath the orange tree.

Applin was extremely excited. After trying Julian’s training method, it really did feel that its rate of progress had increased quite a bit.

It could also enter the tunnel Julian had dug and carefully practise using attacking moves to a limited degree.

Applin glanced at the lake.

"I plan to evolve when Milotic’s performance reaches its climax."

Julian nodded.

"That really is a good opportunity."

Disguising it as evolution triggered by intense excitement as a fanatical Milotic supporter could barely be explained.

After all, the ones controlling this island were only a group of Pokémon.

They were not human researchers. There was no need to worry about being monitored by machines at all times and being eliminated early as a hidden danger the moment one’s growth speed left the normal track.

Applin’s gaze burned.

"I’ve waited three years for this chance. I’m not doing this to prove myself."

"I’m doing this because what belongs to Dragon-type Pokémon must be taken back!"

Noibat looked at it with worshipful eyes.

"Applin, I believe in you."

Julian, however, sighed.

He was a little worried that Applin would be unable to control its emotions after evolving.

"Even after you evolve, you must endure it. No matter what, don’t expose yourself."

Applin smiled faintly.

"Don’t worry. I will."

Milotic appeared at the same time as usual, offering everyone a wonderful performance.

At the height of the performance, beneath the glow of the full moon...

Applin’s body suddenly shone with white light.

"Look! Someone evolved from sheer excitement during Milotic’s performance!"

Every Pokémon turned their gaze towards Applin.

Applin began changing, a green horn growing from the top of its head.

"It’s actually Dipplin. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen this Pokémon on the island."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"The last time an Applin evolved, wasn’t it into Appletun?"

As Dipplin’s evolution completed, the Syrupy Apple around the middle of its body released a rich fragrance.

"It smells so good. I feel like my body has become much lighter."

"I wonder how comfortable it would feel to lick some of that syrup."

Julian’s spirit lifted even more. He directly leaned over and licked the Syrupy Apple.

A sweet syrup entered his stomach, and the residual Fairy energy from the Berries he had eaten yesterday was expelled from his body.

Julian narrowed his eyes and began worrying about Dipplin’s future.

Because of the island’s long-standing order, although everyone wanted to lick the syrup, they still forcibly endured the impulse.

Instead, they began eating the Berries beside them in large mouthfuls.

But the more they ate, the worse they felt.
