Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

This bustling scene even caused Lucario and Alakazam, who were meditating, to subtly twitch their ears…

"Everyone seems to be in good shape... but why does Ash seem a little dissatisfied?"

Xiao Gang, who was preparing lunch, was a little puzzled. Ash's hands were clearly in a very high competitive state, but the trainer himself did not smile.

“Eight out of twelve holdings have run into problems, including two that should have been reliable. I would be just as dissatisfied if I were in their shoes,” Xiao Lan said with a shrug.

"The problem?" Xiao Gang was completely baffled; he couldn't see what the problem was at all.

“Their intentions are not right, but Xiaozhi does not intend to point it out. It should be that the time is not right yet and it needs to ferment for a while longer.”

Naza also noticed something was amiss. Apart from the four whose names weren't mentioned, the other eight seemed to be showing a stronger competitive streak lately.

"Stop, everyone, it's time for lunch." Ash, who had been silent all along, called for a halt to their training.

However, just as everyone was enthusiastically preparing their meal, he specifically called out to Lucario and Alakazam.

"You two, you can't concentrate on your meditation. You'll have to practice for an extra hour after dinner!"

“Luca…”, “Hu…”

The two beasts were immediately dumbfounded; they hadn't expected that Ash would catch them distracted for even a moment.

As he watched them walk away with their heads drooping, Ash couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The problems that users are currently facing cannot be solved simply by offering guidance.

These arrogant and fierce soldiers have improved their strength too much recently. Even if they nodded in agreement at the time, they might not really think so in their hearts.

After all, the stronger something is, the more competitive it becomes. This is not only Pokémon's nature, but also that of humans.

However, Xiao Zhi was relieved to find that some good young men were not affected.

Pikachu and Pokémon, who have always been the darlings of the group, need no introduction, and Ash doesn't need to worry about the honest and docile Rex... But the one who surprised him the most was definitely Charmeleon.

That conversation last night seemed to have hit the nail on the head. The mature old critic is now focused on building his pyramid, single-mindedly ignoring comparisons with the outside world.

Ash naturally has high hopes for Charmeleon.

He was also certain that the task of providing psychological counseling to these troubled young men would ultimately fall to Charmander!

...

"Let's continue our journey to the Garden of Wonders."

After lunch and the two dog-type dogs finished their extra training, Ash and his friends set off for the Mysterious Garden.

Ash had been searching in the deep mountains and forests for a long time. He was very interested in this place, not only because of Bulbasaur's evolution celebration, but also because of the unfathomable power of the Garden Lord—Venusaur.

In addition, the hints from the Pokémon Master were also an important factor. It told Ash that there was a Venusaur Mega Stone hidden in the Mysterious Garden!

Whether we can get it or not is another matter. Now that we know, we should give it a try.

The group followed the signs and walked through the forest. They soon discovered pollen drifting around them and saw a group of Bulbasaur lined up in rows.

"Are they also heading to the Garden of Wonders? They're quite cute walking in a line." Looking at the little garlic bulbs wagging their heads, Blue couldn't help but think of how she looked when she first got her little frog, so she released her Bulbasaur as well.

"Bulbasaur, come out too." Ash also sent out Bulbasaur, which began to follow the Bulbasaur.

They soon arrived deep in the forest and saw the vines that were constantly wriggling, trying to prevent outsiders from entering.

However, since Ash had been using Viridian Power the whole time, the vine's owner seemed to have sensed it and eventually let him pass.

At the edge of the forest was a clearing covered in lush green grass, where many Bulbasaur had already gathered.

The evolutionary celebration will begin between night and dawn, and the Bulbasaur are now waiting quietly.

boom!

Just then, the earth suddenly began to tremble.

From the hollow beneath the giant withered tree ahead, a burly figure slowly emerged, until he stood before Ash and his friends.

It was an incredibly huge Venusaur. Ash couldn't say whether it was three or four meters tall, but it definitely exceeded the size of its kind!

Furthermore, the Mega Stone that the management spirit detected seems to be on its body...

"Bana?" Although it sensed Ash's Viridian Power, Venusaur still had a faint wariness in its eyes.

"I'm sorry to be here uninvited. We're very interested in Bulbasaur's evolution celebration, so we'd like to come and observe," Ash explained politely. "Also, our Ivysaur evolved ahead of schedule, and in order not to leave them with any regrets, we'd like them to participate in the celebration as well."

"Bana..." Venusaur scrutinized the two Ivysaurs with a critical look. Its gaze quickly passed over the somewhat evasive little frog, but when it looked at Ash's Ivysaur, it stopped and stared at it seriously.

It was staring back at by a pair of eyes that were sharp with fighting spirit and even a little provocative!

"Dana..." Ash's Bulbasaur seemed to have been aroused by Venusaur and was eager to have a match with it!

"Sorry, this kid's been a bit too excited lately." Ash immediately pressed down on Bulbasaur's forehead, forcibly calming it down. "Please forgive him if he has offended you."

He always spoke to Venusaur very politely, not only because of Venusaur's size, but also because of its age.

Ash's Viridian Power allowed him to sense the vicissitudes the other party had experienced, and after the Pokémon Manager investigated, they concluded that Venusaur had lived for at least a hundred years!

This lord of the Mysterious Garden is definitely a veteran Pokémon, but because Grass-type Pokémon are always close to nature, they don't show their age.

"Bana...na!" Venusaur looked at Ash's Bulbasaur intently, then suddenly smiled and nodded.

It seemed to have taken a liking to this junior and decided to have a sparring match with it.

Chapter 150 VS Venusaur, the evolved Venusaur!

"In that case, let's prepare for battle."

Seeing that Venusaur had agreed, Ash stopped trying to stop her.

"Dana!" Bulbasaur immediately darted excitedly to Ash's side, excitedly stomping its limbs on the ground.

"Bana!" Seeing that the opponent was ready, Venusaur suddenly lashed out with a powerful vine whip!

"Use Power Whip!" Ash commanded calmly to meet the attack. Bulbasaur followed suit and unleashed its Power Whip, which it was practicing, fearlessly meeting Venusaur's attack.

Bang!

But as soon as they made contact, Miaowacao felt a powerful force strike her and was pulled back several steps!

"Use Roots." Ash seemed completely unfazed, directing Bulbasaur to send out several vines that extended into the ground, continuously restoring its stamina.

The rooting move restores HP, just like the black sludge. When combined, Bulbasaur can restore one-eighth of its HP each turn, making its survivability outstanding.

Simply put, it's quite resilient and can last a while longer.

"Continue to use strong whipping."

"Da Na?"

Ash gave the command again, but Bulbasaur hesitated and the vine whip he swung out did not fall.

It sensed that the current situation was not good, and in order to ensure that it could fight against Venusaur, Ash should use its best battle strategy.

"You were the one who suggested this battle, and as a trainer, I do have an obligation to direct it... but if you don't trust me, then go and fight it yourself."

"Dana... Na!" Bulbasaur hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to obey Ash's command and swung out its thick vines again!

This attack was just like before. The straightforward and brute force vine whip was easily blocked by Venusaur, and the subsequent counterattack sent Venusaur flying!

"Dana!" Bulbasaur stomped its feet irritably after regaining its footing, its face even showing a hint of resentment.

Sunshine, growth!

It's clear that if we just use the enhanced tactics, then...

"Calm down!" Xiao Zhi suddenly shouted, "Don't you think you've been too hasty lately?"

"Dana?" Bulbasaur was startled. It turned around abruptly, only to find Ash's expression extremely serious, clearly very dissatisfied with its performance!

"You're eager to evolve, eager to gain greater power, eager to defeat every opponent you encounter... even your ever-growing companions! But you've neglected what you should be training most!"

"Dana..." After being reminded by Ash, Bulbasaur finally woke up from its dream.

Lately, it has indeed become somewhat impatient due to the evolution of Blastoise.

After all, if we exclude Pikachu and Charmeleon, the last two exceptions, Bulbasaur becomes the last creature that hasn't fully evolved.

In other words, it's at the bottom.

So it was in a hurry, and when practicing new special moves, it focused too much on the intensity of the moves and neglected the most important points!

"Dana!" Bulbasaur, having rallied, unleashed another powerful whip attack, but this time the thick vines seemed less desperate, attempting to regain their original agility.

"Bana~" The Venusaur opposite also showed a relieved smile, and also swung its Vine Whip to defend itself.

The vines that used to grow straight are now twisting and colliding at various angles in the air, making a series of loud bangs.

Bulbasaur's body was trembling. The old master's powerful vine whip was incredibly graceful, making it impossible to tell whether each strike was light or heavy. Bulbasaur, who had been focused on parrying, soon began to pant heavily.

If it weren't for the dual recovery provided by items and special moves, it probably wouldn't have been able to continue fighting.

However, Bulbasaur gradually lost himself in the training that seemed incredibly tedious to outsiders.

Through repeated battles, it seemed to rediscover the feeling of first wielding its vine whip when it was a Bulbasaur.

And its powerful whipping attack has become increasingly flexible and varied, slithering like a giant python!

"Dana!" Finally, during one of the attacks, Bulbasaur seemed to suddenly understand, and its powerful vine whip accurately deflected the tip of its opponent's whip, and then wrapped around Venusaur's legs!

"Bana?" The Garden Lord was surprised. It was delighted that this junior, trained by humans, was able to return to the true nature of its own kind in battle!
