Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"Could this be referring to Giovanni, the head of the Evergreen Dojo?"

After all, in the Kanto region, there is only one person whose hairline height has become legendary.

In addition, I heard Miss Joy mention last time that Giovanni was in charge of handling the incident here... but what about Beedrill?

Does Giovanni have this Pokémon? Isn't he a Gym Leader who specializes in Ground-type Pokémon?

"Wait? You just mentioned the Power of Evergreen? That thing really exists?!"

Upon hearing this, the big-beaked sparrow almost rolled its eyes to the sky.

what?

You asked me if the power of evergreen is real.

It tilted its head and looked at Xiaoxia, its eyes saying, "Are you stupid?"

If it doesn't exist, how could this boy understand what we're saying and translate for you?

You better explain this to me!

Before the big-beaked sparrow could even retract its eye roll, Xiaoxia's face had already turned green.

She understood.

I could read the disdain emanating from every pore on that bird's face.

Okay, you're amazing.

You have logic! You're amazing!

Xiaoxia took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the urge to give this Finch a bath with a Water-type Pokémon.

He coughed lightly, his attempt to change the subject very abruptly.

"Um, well... let's get back to the main topic."

She crossed her arms, trying to appear as an objective and calm third party.

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, there isn't really any major conflict between you."

The big-billed finch lowered its wings, but it didn't speak. It just tilted its head and looked at Xiaoxia, its eyes saying, "Go on, let's hear what you can come up with."

Xiaoxia felt hopeful and her confidence grew.

“Look, this forest is so big. You mainly live in the canopy at the top, while the bee builds its nest in the middle and lower parts of the trunk. Although your areas of activity overlap, it’s not to the point where it has to be a fight to the death.”

"so--"

Xiaoxia spread her hands, with a "that settles it" expression on her face.

"To put it bluntly, you're both just saving face. If you each take a step back, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

The big-billed finches fell silent.

The Beedrill also fell silent.

Then--

"clean!"

The big-billed finch suddenly spread its wings.

"Clean, clean, clean! Clean—!"

You know the shit!

You think there's no conflict just because you say there isn't?

Do you know how many berries they steal from our trees every spring?

You've only stayed here for a few days, and you dare to say there "no major conflicts"?

Beedrill wasn't going to back down either.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

It was you, the Fierce Sparrows, who struck first!

And what do you mean by "your tree fruit"?

How could you be so shameless! Don't you even know what pollination is?!

Without us bee bees, how many fruits would those trees produce?!

"Buzz!!"

"clean!!"

"Buzz!!"

"clean!!"

It looked like the two sides were about to start fighting again.

Ash sighed helplessly and took a step forward.

"Everyone, everyone, calm down."

He cleared his throat, his voice not loud, but his tone was exceptionally sincere.

Beedrill and Spearow stopped fighting temporarily upon hearing this.

“Since we live so close, we’re bound to run into each other all the time—” He paused, his tone softening, “instead of thinking about driving each other away all the time, we should think about how to maintain a good neighborly relationship without getting tired of it.”

The big-billed finch slowly lowered its wings, and the anger on its face subsided.

Beedrill slowly retracted its stinger, its antennae twitching slightly, as if savoring the meaning of those words.

Ok.

What you said... does make a lot of sense.

Xiaoxia: "???"

Isn't this the same thing she meant?

Xiao Zhi continued.

"I think I understand now. It all comes down to food, since your groups are quite numerous."

"And I also bear some responsibility for the fact that you two started fighting..."

"How about this?" Xiao Zhi thought for a moment, "I'll pay for some fruit trees and plant them here."

“The shrew will be responsible for daily watering and maintenance, and the bee will be responsible for pollination and planting. As for how to divide the fruit—we’ll divide it according to our work. How about we sign an agreement?”

198. I have watched it seriously!

After hearing what Xiaozhi said.

Both the bee and the big-billed finch were completely convinced.

Putting aside other things.

Just based on the phrase "more work, more pay; distribution according to work"... there's absolutely nothing wrong with it!

To be able to say something like that, you have to call him a human being!

The giant bee horn flapped its wings slightly and nodded slightly in Ash's direction.

It emitted a low, resonant "hum," which somehow carried a hint of respect.

Not to be outdone, the big-billed finch raised its neck and, with a "smack," flapped its wings against its chest.

These words really struck a chord with it!

What followed was a natural progression.

With Xiaozhi's coordination, both parties began to finalize the details one by one.

For example, how long does a bee work each day during the pollination period?

Who is responsible for harvesting the fruit after it ripens?

How is compensation calculated in the event of a natural disaster?

What happens if one party breaches the contract?

The bee and the big-billed finches were exchanging barbs and witty remarks.

Xiao Zhi squatted in the middle, offering advice to the left and explanations to the right, acting as a top-notch mediator.

"Okay, okay, then we'll work five hours a day during the pollination period, and an extra hour when things get busy during the flowering period, but the extra hours will be paid separately. Is that alright?"

"Jie...Jie!"

The big-beaked sparrow thought for a moment and reluctantly agreed.

"Buzz!"

Beedrill agreed.

Xiaoxia stood to the side, initially watching with great interest.

I think it's quite fun for Ash to do this with these Pokémon.

One buzzes, the other goes "clean, clean, clean," it's even more fun than shopping in a mall.

But the more you listen, the more headache-inducing it becomes.

"Wait a minute, you two wait a minute." She interrupted the bird and the bee's conversation, counting on her fingers, "Pollination time, harvesting schedule, drought and flood allocation, liability for breach of contract, truce red line, border patrol, third-party mediation..."

"There must be at least a dozen of these, right?"

"So many rules... What if one day you say to follow this rule, and they say to follow that rule? Wouldn't that lead to another fight?"

Upon hearing this...

Beedrill and Finch turned their heads at the same time, all four eyes staring intently at Misty.

"Buzz!"

The giant bee horn suddenly shook its wings, raised its tail high, and let out a low, extremely displeased chirp.

What do you mean?
