After receiving it, Kapu stored it in the crevice between its hooves, as if preparing to preserve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Kapu repeated the same process with the other Pokémon and Kukui, collecting their husks; only after finishing did it turn to Kingdra and the White Fluffies, gesturing for them to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kingdra and the White Fluffies exchanged glances, then followed Kapu to the orange fruit tree it had planted. Kapu pointed at the tree and spoke: “Moo-moo-moo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the White Fluffies still hesitant, Kingdra sighed, calmly climbed up the tree trunk, found a comfortable spot, and began absorbing the plant energy from the orange fruit tree, as Kapu had instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kapu’s meaning was for them to first absorb and adapt to the plant energy generated by the grassy terrain, then attempt using the Grass Terrain move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Kingdra leading, the White Fluffies also gathered courage, touching the orange fruit tree and mimicking its actions to absorb the plant energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu, who had been watching them closely, stroked his chin and murmured: “Absorbing plant energy helps Grass-type Pokémon grow. This trip might raise the White Fluffies’ levels significantly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level increases mean a higher chance of learning new moves—Luo Mu finally understood Kapu’s teaching approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Kapu’s training already in full swing, Luo Mu had no intention of interrupting them; he turned to Kukui and said: “I don’t think I need anything else here—why don’t you go check on your home first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kukui paused, thinking it made sense; he hadn’t expected Kapu’s matter to be resolved so quickly—he could return home earlier than planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once decided, Kukui didn’t hesitate—he summoned Brave Eagle, mounted it, warned Luo Mu to contact him if anything came up, then flew straight toward Melemele Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bidding Kukui farewell, Luo Mu glanced at Dragonite and Mimikyu playing tug-of-war with Kardor, then at the diligent Mudbray digging holes; after confirming they were all fine, he walked toward the solitary Floatzel hovering in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, time to charm some more Pokémon again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because the White Fluffies had become busy with Kapu, Floatzel—as a native Alolan Pokémon—felt a natural reverence for Kapu, the Island Deity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even though Floatzel wanted to play with the White Fluffies, it stayed put out of respect for Kapu’s authority, giving Luo Mu a chance to approach it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haihai , not that he was fickle and always trying to lure different Pokémon home—but Floatzel was truly suited to become a member of Luo Mu’s envisioned farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Flower?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a wild Pokémon, Floatzel remained cautious; the moment Luo Mu drew near, it sensed his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once it recognized Luo Mu, its urge to flee vanished instantly—this left Luo Mu, who had expected it to panic and run, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was this different from what he thought?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floatzel’s green eyes scanned Luo Mu, then made an action he never anticipated—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the tips of its wing-like feathers, another vine extended, waved in front of Luo Mu, then slipped directly into his pocket where he kept the Terastal Zhu .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious about what Floatzel intended, Luo Mu didn’t stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After using the vine to pull out the Terastal Zhu , Floatzel neither fled nor damaged it; instead, it gazed at Luo Mu expectantly, swinging the Terastal Zhu  up and down as if mimicking his motion of throwing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floatzel’s unusual behavior left Luo Mu momentarily silent; then he ventured: “You want to Terastallize like Mimikyu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Floatzel~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if Luo Mu had perfectly guessed its desire, Floatzel happily spun in place a few times, returned the Terastal Zhu  to him, then stared at Luo Mu with bright, gleaming green eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh…” Looking at the Terastal Zhu  now drained of energy, Luo Mu cursed GF a thousand times in his mind for designing Terastal Zhu  to require recharging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu apologized to Floatzel and explained why the Terastal Zhu  couldn’t be used right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Float…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floatzel lowered its head in disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Luo Mu suddenly had an idea and blurted out: “But if you become our partner, you’ll be able to Terastallize once we return to Paldea!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And once in Paldea, you can play with the White Fluffies too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu’s words were full of temptation—but Floatzel fell for it completely, agreeing without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could play with the White Fluffies again, and turn into that beautiful crystalline form—Floatzel immediately dove into the red-and-white Poké Ball Luo Mu tentatively offered; after three shakes, capture complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the Poké Ball containing Floatzel, Luo Mu realized for the first time he might have a talent for pyramid selling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kapu’s training lasted four full days, during which Kukui returned several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning everything was going well, Luo Mu greeted Kukui and Kapu, then teamed up with a professional mountaineer to explore Lanakila Mountain, a snow-covered, treacherous peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu’s goal was the Alolan Vulpix\u002FNinetales that might dwell there—but their luck was poor: on the first night of climbing, they encountered a rare blizzard; after the storm lessened, they had no choice but to descend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The search for Alolan Vulpix\u002FNinetales was abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at the Harvest Ruins, Luo Mu stayed put, observing Kingdra and the others’ training while practicing with Kardor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the final day of training, when Kingdra demonstrated its newly learned move before Luo Mu—he finally lost his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What on earth have you learned?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",980,"2026-06-20T17:11:47.132Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3735965353b6dde2a09e5dd9019756441282d10b1ac236a7c5477824ed3b465d","pokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-chapter-99","pokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-chapter-97",695,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-cover.jpg"]
