Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 480 Full Bloom!

Tanuki was instantly defeated, Miltank fell, and the third to appear was Tauros, one of the Jinchuriki of the Life Orb.

The final energy transformed into the chrysanthemum leaves of "Green Fields." Who exactly are its teammates?
"Bulbasaur, prepare for battle."

With sunny days and grasslands, it's definitely Bulbasaur...

That being said, the "Sunny Day" spell that Chikorita had set up at the beginning of the battle was about to dissipate.

Therefore, upon arriving at the battle arena, it immediately added a new "Sunny Day" to grant itself, as a Grass-type, the most basic qualification for battle.

Xiaoqian decisively seized the opportunity: "Tauros, 'Flash Charge'!"

Link wondered if Tauros was only a Flamebringer who could learn "Flash Charge," or if he was mistaken.

Regardless, after receiving instructions, Xiaoxi's Tauros, engulfed in flames, charged towards Bulbasaur, instantly turning the grasslands in its path into a sea of ​​fire.

"Sunny Day" means that Grass-type Pokémon that want speed can only bear the corresponding risks in singles battles.

At this stage, Bulbasaur doesn't yet have "thick fat," so being hit by this move would likely result in it being instantly killed.

Even if it releases a "sweet aroma" like chicory leaves, it's unlikely to dampen the bull's fighting spirit.

Therefore, it decisively chose to detour, using the "Grass Slide" to quickly escape the range of "Flash Charge" by flying close to the ground.

Xiaoqian: Are you bullfighting here?
Tauros did indeed overshoot, but instead of charging directly out of the battlefield, he quickly turned around and charged back at his opponent.

It runs away, it chases, it can't fly away even if it has wings.

In less than half a minute, the lush grass on the battlefield turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the towering flames left Bulbasaur with no chance to slide.

"This is the last time, 'Flash Charge'!"

At the same time, Xiaoxi suddenly had a bad feeling.

As the champion, Link can't let the Pokémon push her into such a desperate situation. She's about to defeat Bulbasaur, and she'll probably face a real counterattack from her opponent!

Her intuition was spot on; Bulbasaur was indeed preparing a deadly counterattack.

Facing Tauros charging at full speed towards it, Bulbasaur, which is not as agile as Chikorita, neither dodged nor evaded, but simply stood still and used "Vine Whip" to lift its body and aim its flower bud at Tauros.

The longer Bulbasaur basks in the sunlight, the more power surges within its body, and the flower bud on its back gradually grows.

While dodging by "sliding through the grass," it was also diligently absorbing the solar energy mobilized by the "sunny day."

Full bloom!

Unbeknownst to them, the flower buds behind them had already bloomed, storing more solar energy than usual.

The next step, naturally, is to release all the energy accumulated under the "sunny day" as "solar beams"!

A dazzling and scorching beam of light surged forth from the fully blooming flower buds, engulfing the charging Kentauro in the blink of an eye like a raging fire.

The latter did not lose its ability to fight on the spot. No matter how much the sunlight resembled a blazing fire, it was still a Grass-type move. The flames covering its body with "Flare Charge" became armor to resist this move.

The burning Tauros strained with all its might, carving a path through the barrage of beam attacks, slowly but steadily making its way toward the stationary Bulbasaur.

Ten seconds later, the light gradually faded.

The battlefield was cleaved into a trench, and even the sea of ​​fire created a vacuum.

However, Tauros did not lose his ability to fight. Instead, he "forcefully" activated the power within his Life Orb and charged forward again.

In some ways, this Pokémon's fighting style is quite similar to Arcanine's, except it lacks the latter's functionality.

Unperturbed by its failure to defeat its opponent in one move, Bulbasaur remained unperturbed. Its light had already faded, and its fully bloomed buds returned to normal. But it still had a second trump card. In the next instant, a raging sea of ​​fire seemed to come alive as it converged on Bulbasaur, and the "Sunny Day" on the field seemed to be activated, becoming even brighter.

Bulbasaur consumed its Fire Gem and unleashed the move "Nature Force," whose effect changed with the type of energy in the surrounding environment.

Normally, this move would be a Normal type if used in Akane's gym, but given the current situation with both a sea of ​​fire and her hand, it would undoubtedly become a Fire type.

At the same time, thanks to the energy replenishment from the item it carried, Bulbasaur, which is proficient in "Nature Force", unleashed a pseudo-"Fire Blast" with power comparable to a Fire-type move!
Sunny day, fiery arena, fire gem, natural power.

Bulbasaur, which should not have been able to use Fire-type moves (but could actually use Weather Ball), unleashed a powerful move that was no less potent than that of a Fire-type Pokémon.

Tauros, who still had half of its strength after withstanding the "Solar Beam", was hit on the head. The fire-type move, which is more aggressive than grass-type, ignited its wounds, rendering it unable to battle on the spot.

Tauros ultimately failed to reach Bulbasaur.

"Tauro is unable to fight!"

With the referee's decision, Xiaoqiang retrieved his second ace into his Poké Ball.

She has three Pokémon left: Blissey, Kirin, and Kangaskhan.

However, Link still had 6 Pokémon, and even though Chikorita and Bulbasaur were in poor condition and unable to continue, he still had 4.5 left...

Why is this happening?
The other party was clearly using a newly bred Pokémon (which wasn't actually the case).

In this situation, the Pokémon that should be sent out is...

"Go, Qilin!"

She sent out an elf that looked exactly like a giraffe wearing a headgear.

Kirin, a long-necked Pokémon, Normal/Psychic.

It protects its head with its hard tail and swings its long neck to deliver a headbutt to its opponent. By synchronizing the brainwaves of its head and tail, it amplifies its superpowers to 10 times that of Kirinki.

There's a lot of information about the Kanto style... What exactly is the Kanto style?

[His incredibly strong arms can deliver 1000 punches in 2 seconds.]

The shell of the armored ram is so hard that even incendiary bombs cannot damage it.

[It is said that lava snails have a body temperature of 1 million degrees Celsius.]

Are the Pallet Town Big Three and Ash actually writing their Pokédex entries properly?

Link was slightly suspicious of Crimson, who seemed very serious but never spoke, and who appeared somewhat naive or even eccentric. Perhaps he was the culprit behind the fabricated encyclopedia.

anyway--

"Come back, Bulbasaur."

It's still a bit of a stretch to deal with Psychic-type Pokémon with outstanding Special Attack.

"Crystal Chandelier Spirit, prepare for battle."

Amidst the raging fire, a white crystal chandelier, its orange flames radiating a magnificent glow.

This Chandelure is the final evolved form of the Litwick that it encountered on Mount Sacred during its first year of travel. Now it has mastered the "Shadow Tag" ability and is trying to teach this technique to Fennekin, developing a move similar to "Shadow Stitch".

Link replaced the MetalGreymon, who wanted to train his psychic powers with FoxGreymon, with it, and also made himself more like a Team Sunny Day trainer...

With two Grass and two Fire-type trainers in the team, how can you say they aren't Team Sunny?
