NOVEL NEXT Chapter 15: ch15
The friendship of Budew rose from 0 to 15, but it was still far from being fully bonded.
According to Alex's understanding, Budew is a kind of Pokémon which is very shy and docile. They usually live near clear water such as ponds. Unlike Pokémon with a strong sense of territory like Beedrill, Budew do not have much sense of territory, so they will show a very easy-going attitude towards other Pokémon and humans.
Of course, this is only based on the premise that you are not aggressive towards it.
The 15 points of friendship are just its basic friendliness with kind humans.
After a night of hard work (watering, feeding, and sunbathing), this Budew's personal preference for Alex changed again, from 15 to 30.
When he looked at its information again, the emotions and physical state above also changed accordingly.

"Little one, do you want to be like this forever?" Alex took out the Poké Ball, squatted in front of Budew, trying to lure it.
Pokémon are very intelligent creatures. In this world, there are several methods to bond with them.
The first is to use strength to defeat wild Pokémon, beat them until they can no longer fight, and then use a Poké Ball to capture them. There is no doubt that this is a unilateral compulsory method.
Watching the anime before, the Pokémon put into the Poké Ball was still confronting the trainer one second, and the next second it would be intimately bonded to the trainer who captured it. This left Alex with the impression that the Poké Ball has the ability to influence their minds.
And what proves this even more is a certain one-ball superhero in the new anime.
The second method is that the trainer proposes to bond, and the wild Pokémon receives the information and actively gives feedback. In this case, the trainer needs to prove their strength to the wild Pokémon, and after defeating it, it will recognize you and follow you.
The third type is that wild Pokémon will actively follow suitable trainers in order to become stronger.
And the fourth type is the most friendly and harmonious "influence flow" bonding.
For example, when Ash first got Pikachu, he used his body to protect Pikachu, who did not obey commands in the forest. Pikachu was moved by this and has been by his side ever since. This is a "two-way choice" method of bonding.
"Budew?" Hearing Alex's words, Budew showed a puzzled expression on its face and looked at the red and white ball in front of it with curiosity.
Alex said: "That is to say, let me be your trainer and live with us in the future."
Now Budew understood. It turned to look at the forest outside the window and remembered the experience from yesterday to now.
"Budew..." Budew hesitated, and the enticing voice of the human continued to come:
"I can make you stronger and let you evolve into a Roselia."
Budew paused for a moment, the hesitation on its face lessened slightly.
"It also allows you to bask in the sun with peace of mind and have clean water to drink every day."
"Budew..." It's really tempting... It's already a little moved.
"A lot of delicious food will be prepared for you! There are a lot of things you haven't eaten before."
At this moment, the balance in Budew's heart was completely tilted to one side, its small eyes sparkled: "Budew?"
Although Alex could not communicate with it, he miraculously understood the meaning of Budew at this moment, and he said with a smile:
"That's right, it's even more delicious than the ones from last night."
He didn't let Budew go away last night, so he brought an extra piece of free Pokémon food from the cafeteria. It is a food made of honey, flour, and berries. Although the nutrition is not as good as professional energy cubes, compared to the natural berries in the wild, the taste can already be called delicious.
"Budew!" Budew quickly responded.
"Then, I'm going to bond with you!" Alex pressed the button on the red and white ball, and the red and white ball instantly returned to its normal size. A red light shot out from it, enveloped Budew's body, and put it into the Poké Ball.
The Poké Ball in his hand shook slightly, as if the Pokémon inside was adapting to the environment, but soon, it returned to calm and remained motionless. This means that the bonding was successful.
"I really didn't expect this little one to be a foodie," Alex laughed.
However, those words he said did not deceive Budew, and he would really realize all of them.
Because meeting the needs of Pokémon is also part of nurturing. Eating delicious food can not only provide them with the nutrients they need to grow but also make them feel happier.
Looking at the Poké Ball with Budew in his hand, new information suddenly appeared in Alex's mind.
**[Name: Budew]**
Type: Grass, Poison
Initial trainer: Alex
Possessions: None
Notes: Shy personality
September 15, 208
It seems that I met it in Petalburg Woods
Likes to be clean.
Medals received: None
Alex froze for a moment.
Isn't this the data interface that can only be seen after bonding with Pokémon in the game?
There is nothing to note in the first few items. What Alex cares about is the character in the notes column.
In the game, the corresponding abilities of Pokémon with different personalities will increase or decrease, but in the anime, there is not much information about this aspect.
And the Pokémon in reality can't be described in just one word, right?
You must know that after evolution, the Pokémon's personalities will change. Maybe this shyness is just a simple description of Budew's character, and it will not have an actual impact on its special attack.
As for the medal column below, in the game, it records the career milestones of a Pokémon. If the trainer wins the League Tournament or the Pokémon Contest with this Pokémon, the corresponding Ribbon Medal will be displayed on it.
Two small functions are better than nothing, but they can also help trainers better understand their Pokémon.
Alex put away the information column, because he was afraid of throwing the Poké Ball out and breaking it and wasting two hundred Pokédollars in vain, so he pressed the white button on the Poké Ball with his hand instead.
A white light shot out from it, condensing into a figure of Budew on the desk.
"Budew!" It looked very happy with its new home.
Alex was also very happy because he finally has a real initial Pokémon.
Archeops also seemed to be infected by the happy atmosphere and made a silly "gah" sound as it stood by.
_ps: The personality of this book does not have the setting of increasing or decreasing abilities in the game; it is just describing the character of the Pokémon._
