Pokémon Showdown: Silver Peak

Chapter 117 The road to hegemony is doomed to be full of thorns

Advancing towards Red Lotus Island, aiming to capture the seventh Glory Badge, Xiaozhi and his team are still on their journey. When traveling through rugged mountainous areas, you will naturally encounter those brave mountain challengers. These hard-core mountaineering teenagers are all ruthless characters. Meeting on a narrow road is a battle, and the loser has to hand over his lunch.

At this moment, an old man with a thick beard stood in front of Xiaozhi. He was the "lollipop nightmare" of the teenagers in shorts within a few miles nearby.

"What you did is indeed a bit too much. After defeating the children, taking their pocket money is already too much. Taking away the lollipops is too arrogant." Xiaozhi stood with his hands on his hips, full of fighting spirit, "Today I plan to win Take your lunch and show you what it means not to annoy naughty children easily!"

[bgm: "Walking Alone in a Dark Alley"... Praise for your unyielding attitude and your ability to remain firm and not cry when faced with the challenge of the mountain man... All the boys in shorts sang]

"Less talk, more action, armored rhinoceros, go into battle!" The uncle responded with action, summoning a powerful armored rhinoceros.

"Then I don't have to be polite, Bulbasaur, I've decided on you!" Although Bulbasaur has made remarkable progress recently with outstanding performance and hard work, Xiaozhi always feels that it lacks something, so he pays more attention to giving it Ample resources and opportunities for exercise.

"The armored rhinoceros, move forward fearlessly and use slamming attacks!" The uncle gave the order without hesitation, and the armored rhinoceros instantly launched a violent attack.

The adult armored rhinoceros charging at full speed brought shocking power, and the sound of its galloping iron hooves shook the earth like thunder, frightening Xiaoxia on the side.

"It feels like an earthquake." Xiaoxia, who was holding Togepi in her arms, was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"The violent impact of the armored rhinoceros is no child's play. Xiaozhi, you must be careful!" As he spoke, Xiaogang had already hugged the trees around him tightly to prevent him from being knocked down by the impact.

"Although its power is terrifying, it is four times weaker than grass-type attacks." Xiaozhi responded disapprovingly: "Bulbasaur, use Flower Dance!"

The whistling wind pressure wrapped around the pink petals, and the unparalleled flower dance move directly hit the armored rhinoceros running towards him, instantly knocking it into the air.

Amidst the roar, the armored rhinoceros fell to the ground in a panic, covered with petals. It vigorously shook its huge head that was stunned by the impact, but it managed to survive such an offensive.

"I'm afraid this armored rhinoceros is of a very high level." Xiaogang frowned and thought to himself.

"Hehe, your attack still needs some heat." Shan Nan said proudly: "Iron-armored rhinoceros, let's hit it hard again!"

"Bulbasaur, now it's your turn, first use the Flying Leaf Blade to block its retreat, and then use the Vine Whip attack!" Xiaozhi commanded calmly.

Bulbasaur first used the flying blade to weave an airtight blockade, and then two thick vine whips hit the armored rhino accurately like a big slap in the face, knocking it out completely in an instant...

The duel ended abruptly.

"I give up, young man, your Bulbasaur is really impressive." Uncle Shannan was full of aftertaste and readily admitted defeat, "This is my lunch as a gift."

"Thank you very much for your generous gift. Your armored rhinoceros has also been cultivated very well." Xiaozhi politely took the fried chicken from the lunch box, took only one piece, and then returned the lunch to Yamao.

However, Xiaozhi's Bulbasaur showed extraordinary growth. Xiaogang couldn't help but admire: "Look, Xiaozhi, your Bulbasaur is really unique. This month it has gained a full twenty-eight kilograms, and the flowers have also grown." It’s a lot more prosperous and full, and it’s obvious that its strength has been significantly improved.”

"Yes, every Pokémon under Xiaozhi's careful care is thriving!" Xiaoxia echoed the praise.

"Pikachu~?" At this time, Pikachu glanced at his increasingly slender figure, as if wondering whether he was a special case.

Suddenly, accompanied by a buzzing sound, Ash's Bulbasaur collapsed to the ground weakly.

"Bulbasa!" Xiaozhi exclaimed and quickly ran towards it. I saw Bulbasaur looking quite uncomfortable, and the huge flower on its back began to shine with a dark red brilliance, but then gradually dimmed.

"Could this be..." Xiaozhi immediately understood the situation. He decisively took back the Bulbasaur, called Xiaogang and Xiaoxia, and rushed to the Pokémon Medical Center in the mountains.

When they arrived at the Pokémon Center, night had fallen. Ash fed Bulbasaur a concentrated energy cube to give it the much-needed power boost.

Later, Ms. Joy revealed a shocking fact through in-depth analysis: Bulbasaur is showing signs of evolving towards overlord.

"So that's it, we have arrived at this mysterious garden." Xiaozhi suddenly understood. No wonder Bulbasaur was so excited by the pollen in the air that she was eager to evolve.

"Awesome, Xiaozhi, your Bulbasaur flower has been cultivated by you for a long time since the Bulbasaur seed period, and it is finally going to embark on the journey to overlord." Xiaogang was sincerely happy for Xiaozhi.

Under the guidance of Ms. Joy, the four of them moved to the window and saw that the flowerbed outside the window was blooming quietly, like a carpet of flowers that stretched into the distance.

"Wow! Why did these flowers bloom all of a sudden?" Xiaogang and Xiaoxia were amazed.

What’s even more magical is that after the flowers bloom, the pollen scattered by the wind shines with a faint and charming fluorescence, like a starry ribbon hanging in mid-air, flowing leisurely.

"It is said that Bulbasaur will gather from nowhere at a specific period to hold a grand event similar to celebrating evolution." Ms. Joy told everyone about the legend of Bulbasaur in a dreamy tone, "And That ceremony seems to be somehow related to the waxing and waning of the moon or the movement of the stars, and it doesn’t even necessarily happen in the same season every year.”

"It's so romantic~" Xiaoxia couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that we are witnessing an important moment." Xiaogang nodded in agreement, feeling the same.

"It's really enviable." Nazi's eyes were shining, as if she was thinking about something in her heart...

"Not only that, being able to host such a ceremony is in itself a symbol of great strength."

A strong shock surged in Xiaozhi's heart, and he thought in disbelief: That amazing and incredible garden was actually created by the hands of the overlord Bulbasaur, using his own power to create a gorgeous garden out of thin air. Isn't this a reappearance of the arrival of the flower and tree world in the real world? And, is there a secret to the surname "Thousand Hands" hidden behind this powerful Bulbasaur flower?

Facing the confused Xiaoxia, she asked with inquisitive eyes: "So, where was that magnificent celebration of evolution held?"

Miss Joy's eyes flashed with yearning and mystery when she responded: "It's in that legendary place - the Garden of Wonders. So far, no one has really seen its true appearance, and some even speculate that it may be just an illusion. .”

Full of expectations, Xiaozhi and his four friends returned to the lounge to take a rest, but their hearts were full of longing for the mysterious and incredible garden.

At this moment, the flowers on Bulbasaur's back, which were lying quietly in the clinic, began to shine with dazzling light regularly and frequently.

With a light landing sound, Bulbasaur jumped down to the ground, raised his head slightly, followed the pollen trail that shone like stars, and embarked on the road out of the Pokémon Center...

The incredible garden seems to be calling it from afar, waiting for its return and response...
