Patterns

Leaving the aircraft, Yuga brought his Vivillon outside with him.

In the suburbs of Lumiose City, the vegetation was lush, and flowers were in full bloom, attracting numerous Vivillon, making it an ideal time for Yuga to collect the scales from his Vivillon.

Not far from the aircraft, Yuga quickly found a cluster of wildflowers. Within the cluster, Vivillon of various colors were dancing gracefully, sipping nectar from the blossoms.

Among these congregated Vivillon, the Garden Pattern Vivillon in shades of purple and pink dominated, with occasional sightings of Continental Pattern Vivillon in yellow and Garden Pattern Vivillon in deep green.

Other patterned Vivillon were not commonly seen in the vicinity of Lumiose City, so encountering one or two was considered fortunate.

Yuga's Vivillon hadn't seen so many of its kind before, so it joyfully flapped its wings and joined the Vivillon group.

Yuga's Vivillon was quite eye-catching, immediately attracting the attention of the other Vivillon.

In the eyes of the Vivillon, Yuga's Vivillon was an unequivocal beauty.

However, they were wary of the imposing aura emanating from Yuga's Vivillon and dared not approach too closely. They could only dance around Yuga's Vivillon from a distance.

With each flap of their wings, these Vivillon released a trace of scales that wafted towards Yuga's Vivillon on the wind. The multicolored scales shimmered brilliantly in the reflected sunlight, looking exceptionally beautiful.

Each time Yuga's Vivillon absorbed a wisp of scales, its wings became even more radiant, as if it had been given a sparkling special effect.

However, this special effect didn't last long, fading after a brief moment, only to be renewed when the next wave of scales arrived.

The scales of butterfly Pokémon were not limitless; they served as a protective layer, so they couldn't dedicate all their scales to Yuga's Vivillon. Each Vivillon only contributed a tiny amount of scales.

The saying "little by little" applied here, which was why Yuga had decided to collect scales from butterfly Pokémon. With a sufficient number of them in his Ecopark, the growth rate of Vivillon would accelerate.

After playing with these Vivillon for a while and collecting a substantial amount of scales, Yuga felt it was time to leave.

He had no intention of subduing the Vivillon in this area.

The potentials of the Vivillon here are all quite poor. Besides the red and orange, there isn't even one with a yellow potential.

Even if Yuga planned to collect butterfly Pokémon, he couldn't be completely indiscriminate; otherwise, there would be too many butterfly Pokémon to handle.

The most common species in various regions are Butterfree, Beautifly, and Vivillon.

When Yuga left with his Vivillon, the other Vivillon seemed reluctant to see them go. Some even followed closely behind Yuga and his Vivillon.

Yuga noticed but paid them no mind. Butterfly Pokémon were generally loose groups; they didn't have a true society. They often gathered together, but it didn't mean they wanted to live as a group.

It was just that their individual strength was quite weak, so staying together provided some safety.

Yuga strolled around with his Vivillon among the flowers and grass. Whenever he encountered a group of Vivillon, he approached them to gather some scales. This resulted in a large group of Vivillon following him, creating a spectacular sight.

As Yuga walked further, he suddenly came across a square field of flowers. Above the field, a group of Vivillon was flying, with the most conspicuous one being a Vivillon with a rare Sun Pattern, displaying a combination of red and yellow.

A Sun Pattern Vivillon?

Yuga was surprised to see such a rare Sun Pattern Vivillon in this place.

Among the twenty patterns of Vivillon, the Sun Pattern was among the top three in terms of rarity, much rarer than Yuga's own Icy Snow Pattern Vivillon.

Furthermore, Sun Pattern Vivillon didn't have a fixed habitat in the Kalos region; they could potentially be found anywhere, but the chances were extremely slim.

The four wings of the Sun Pattern Vivillon had a bright red color at the edges, transitioning to a golden yellow in the middle. The red formed a regular circle around the Vivillon's body, resembling a rising sun.

It could be said that the Sun Pattern Vivillon had the most dazzling colors among all Vivillon.

...

What surprised Yuga the most was the potential of this Sun Pattern Vivillon, which was unexpectedly the rare Blue potential.

For a Pokémon like Vivillon, obtaining a high potential Pokémon was no easy task, especially in the wild. Even Yuga's own Vivillon was cultivated by humans.

Seeing such a Vivillon, Yuga had no reason to leave it unclaimed.

Just as Yuga was preparing to make his move, he suddenly saw a completely blue Vivillon flying out of the nearby woods.

A Marine Pattern Vivillon?

Before Yuga could even react, one Vivillon after another emerged from the woods.

Modern Pattern, Archipelago Pattern, Elegant Pattern, Icy Snow Pattern, Meadow Pattern, River Pattern...

Vivillon with various patterns flew out and gradually gathered around the Sun Pattern Vivillon. There was a faint indication that the Sun Pattern Vivillon was their leader.

It seemed these Vivillon had an owner.

Encountering one Sun Pattern Vivillon, Yuga could consider it luck, but having numerous Vivillon with different patterns gathering together was beyond mere coincidence.

If these Vivillon truly had an owner, that would explain things.

In the wild, it was not so easy to stumble upon a Vivillon with such a unique pattern and outstanding potentials. Moreover, this Vivillon's level and moves didn't resemble those of a typical wild Pokémon.

It was just that Yuga had been momentarily excited and subconsciously overlooked these details.

He was being too greedy...

In Kalos, people who collected Vivillon with different patterns as a hobby were not uncommon, and many of them were wealthy individuals.

Seeing so many Vivillon with different patterns, Yuga couldn't help but develop some interest in the owners of these Vivillon.

Among these Vivillon, quite a few had impressive potentials, indicating that a considerable amount of money had been spent to collect these different Vivillon.

While Yuga observed the Vivillon, the Vivillon also noticed him and his Vivillon standing outside the flower field.

They curiously inspected Yuga and his Vivillon.

These Vivillon were not wild Pokémon, so they were more cautious towards strangers compared to the wild Vivillon Yuga had encountered earlier.

Even though they sensed the attraction of Yuga's Vivillon, they didn't approach recklessly. However, there was a subtle commotion within the group of Vivillon.

But while they remained still, Yuga's Vivillon took action.

It rapidly flapped its wings and darted into the group of Vivillon.

Yuga's Vivillon's behavior initially caused a bit of panic among the group of Vivillon. It was only after they realized that Yuga's Vivillon had no ill intentions that they settled down once more.

The uniqueness of Yuga's Vivillon made it challenging for other Vivillon to exclude it. Soon, they all danced around Yuga's Vivillon, performing a vibrant and colorful dance.

As they joyfully danced, tiny scales floated onto Yuga's Vivillon.
