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

At night, the group pitched tents in the forest. Ash and Alakazam activated their Foresight abilities after their companions fell asleep.

Gradually, Ash saw a blurry image.

It seemed to be a human figure. Xiaozhi couldn't see the other person's face, but he could see a cloud of black mist following him, constantly trying to attack him.

But strangely, the other person seemed to be just going in circles... Every time he got a little closer, he would be inexplicably forced to back away.

He was always accompanied by a wisp of black mist, and after an unknown period of time, another pale blue orb of light gradually appeared...

"Strange, what does this mean..." After dawn, Ash and Alakazam exchanged a glance, both puzzled.

The only thing he's certain of right now is that someone's watching him.

The other party's identity was very secretive. Even though he and Alakazam worked together to foresee the future and even used the power of time waves, they could only see a blurry shadow.

The good news is, however, that the other party seems to be quite inefficient.

The sun rose fully through the forest, and the companions woke up one after another. They had all slept well the night before and had not been bothered by nightmares at all.

This forest should be fine now, and the giant armored creatures can return to live here.

However, when Ash and his friends returned to the Forest of Heracross, none of the Pinsir, who were still suffering from nightmares, had any intention of going back.

They would even join forces to resist, clearly terrified, preferring to be punished rather than return to their original dwellings.

"What should we do?" Xiaoxia felt helpless.

Given the current state of the Tyranitar group, Ash can't really beat them up and chase them back.

“Easy, let them stay here and move Heracross to the other side.”

Compared to the giant herrings, the Heracross were obviously easier to communicate with, and since they hadn't had nightmares, they had absolutely no reason to refuse being assigned a more lush forest.

"Everyone, please line up. We will take you to the forest on the other side, where you can settle down again."

The relocation work began quickly. Ash and his friends divided the work and worked together. While counting the number of Heracrosses, they led them and many Butterfrees that wanted to leave with them across the river to settle in the forest on the other side.

What the others didn't know was that there was a rather gluttonous fellow who, having been sucking tree sap in a corner of the forest, was completely unaware of what was happening here...

And so, when the relocation was completed, both groups were happy.

The Hercules were overjoyed; they were finally free from being chased around by the giant armored carapace and could now focus on their meals in peace.

The big beetles were even happier. The forest across the way was haunted, and once those guys couldn't take it anymore, we wouldn't let them come back!

"That should solve the problem," Morio said thankfully. "Now, all that's left is to restore the forest to its former glory..."

"I can give that a try... Dude, can you restore the forest's vitality?" Ash called out his Venusaur.

It had already learned how to use natural energy from the Lord of the Mysterious Garden, and had been developing its Grass-type abilities. It had also absorbed a lot of energy on Obon Island, so it was time to let Ash see the results.

"Bana...Bana!" Venusaur roared, first using Root to firmly connect its body to the ground, and then began to grow continuously until its entire body swelled up more than a size larger!

Having made preparations, Venusaur suddenly plunged its two vines into the ground, and in an instant, countless green grasses surged into the entire forest like waves, and then vines grew and wrapped around the trees in the forest!

"This is..." Xiao Gang stared in astonishment at the scene before him. He could feel that the entire forest was being enveloped by a fresh natural atmosphere, and all the trees had changed from their previous decay and were now flourishing again!

“This is Grass Pledge, a very special move,” Lila explained. “My brother’s Venusaur uses itself as a conduit to gather natural energy and transfer it to the trees, thus helping them recover.”

"Venusaur, hang in there!" Seeing his partner looking tired, Ash quickly encouraged it to persevere, while also channeling his own Viridian Power into it.

Its training is ultimately insufficient, and it cannot make all the flowers bloom instantly like the Mysterious Lord, but with its combined strength with Ash, it will surely be able to revitalize the forest!

"Bana!" Venusaur suddenly roared, and a new green sprouted from its body. Powerful Grass-type energy erupted, finally restoring life to the entire forest!

"Venusaur...it's blooming?" Misty looked at Venusaur's back in surprise. On its huge flower head, there was another flower, slightly smaller but incredibly vibrant, slowly opening!

The center of the flower was constantly emitting light, and after careful examination, everyone finally discovered that it was a round jewel!

A Mega Stone gifted by the Mysterious Lord, exclusively for Venusaur!

Chapter 333 Freedom is precious, but rice is even more valuable~

The forest has come back to life, the flower on Venusaur's back has bloomed, and a Mega Stone has been obtained.

Everyone was so engrossed in watching that they even forgot to breathe…

"Can you smell that? It smells so sweet, it seems to be coming from Venusaur." Suddenly, everyone smelled a refreshing sweet fragrance. Misty looked closely and found that the source was the flower disc on Venusaur's back!

"That's the scent of Bulbasaur pollen, which many Pokémon can't resist," Ash explained. "Look at those Pinsirians, they're attracted to it too."

It's more than just attractive; it's mouthwatering, making you want to climb onto Venusaur's back and feast on it.

However, because Ash's Pinsir was watching them closely, they could only watch helplessly and dared not approach.

"Hera? Heracro!"

Just then, a blue figure suddenly darted out from the shadows of the forest and pounced on Venusaur without a second thought!

"Hah!" Dajia's eyes widened, and he leaped into the air, blocking the audacious uninvited guest.

The two giant insects collided violently in mid-air, and then simultaneously stretched out their arms to clamp down on each other's shoulders. However, after landing, the other suddenly exerted force forward, even causing the giant armored insect to sway and involuntarily take a step back!

"Huh?!" Da Jia was incredulous. He quickly held his breath and focused his energy to exert his strength again, and gradually regained the advantage.

“It’s Heracross… but why is there only one left?” Xiao Gang asked in astonishment.

"Its strength is amazing! It's almost on par with Ash's Pinsir!" Misty's impression of Heracross changed completely; she no longer thought of Heracross as a cowardly coward who was all show and no substance.

“Heracross…” Ash pondered for a moment, then shook his head at Pinsir. “Pinsir, let it pass.”

"Hah!" Big Pinscher stepped aside in response; it was absolutely obedient to Ash's commands.

At the same time, its gaze toward Heracross showed a newfound interest.

Putting everything else aside, this power is truly formidable…

On the contrary, Heracross showed no sign of mutual respect. It didn't even glance at Pinsir and immediately pounced on Venusaur's back, lying down on the edge of the flower head and licking it greedily.

"So it's just to lick the pollen... Could it be that it's alone because it's greedy for tree sap?" Lila clearly knew the truth.

"Never mind that for now... Venusaur, try out your newfound power!" Ash gestured for Venusaur to ignore the charm behind it, then gripped the Key Stone with his own finger. "Mega Evolution!"

"Bana!"

With a roar that shook the entire forest, Venusaur, bathed in the light of Mega Evolution, sprouted another flower on its head, and its entire body became even thicker and larger. The flower plate on its back grew even taller, turning into a truly giant flowering tree!

"Hera?" The rhinoceros beetle, which was licking pollen, suddenly found itself surrounded by many huge banana leaves. Before it could react, all the leaves and buds closed up instantly, completely enveloping it!

hum!

After that, a surge of powerful grass-type energy was released, blasting Heracross away like a cannonball!

The sun is blazing!

"Hera..." The falling rhinoceros beetle created a large crater in the ground, but even so, its eyes still held a strong longing as it looked at Venusaur. In the end, it stubbornly got up and went forward again...

But it was swatted back by Venusaur's Vine Whip again!

"This guy... is he really a glutton?" Xiaoxia couldn't help but sigh and put her hand to her forehead.

She had just thought Heracross was pretty handsome, but it turns out he really was single for such a ridiculous reason~

"But it's also very persistent and quite daring," Ash said seriously. "In this situation, other Pokémon would definitely back down."

Heracross is gentle and dislikes fighting, so many people consider it a cowardly Pokémon... But in fact, that's just because it hasn't encountered anything it cares about.

Venusaur's pollen is absolutely irresistible to Heracross, even making it completely disregard the difference in strength!

"Interesting... Heracross, come at me!" Ash stood next to Venusaur. "If you can break through Venusaur's defenses, there'll be plenty of pollen!"

"Hera!" These words were more effective than any encouragement. Heracross immediately shook her body, and five beams of white light shot out!

Bug-type Pin Missile!

However, Venusaur simply swung a vine whip at this restrained attack and easily knocked down all the missiles.

"Heracross!" Undeterred by its failed attack, Heracross locked its sharp gaze on Venusaur and launched another assault, this time with a Flying-type Aerial Ace!

"Bana!" Venusaur suddenly unleashed a massive absorption spell, and a tornado formed from Grass-type energy instantly wrapped around Heracross's body, absorbing its stamina while slamming it heavily to the ground!

"Hera!" However, Heracross stood up again, and a powerful aura rose around him!

"This Heracross... it's even mastered Sword Dance?!" Xiao Gang was immediately taken aback. He had misjudged it before; he hadn't expected this glutton to be so high-level!

"Hera!!" Heracross, fueled by this momentum, charged fiercely towards Venusaur!

"Brother, it's a million-dollar horn!" Lila quickly reminded him.

"Venusaur, Power Whip!" Ash finally gave the command, and Venusaur quickly unleashed its thick vine whip, knocking Heracross down once again.

"Shouldn't this end it...? What?!"

"Hera... Heracross!!!" Xiaoxia thought the battle was over, but unexpectedly Heracross stood up again, and his whole body even glowed!

It suddenly let out a roar and charged at Venusaur without regard for anything else!

"For food... it's willing to risk its life?!" Lila was completely stunned by this aura.

"Is it a premonition of insects? Venusaur, use Harden Plant!"

Faced with the attacking Blade Dance Bug Guard Mega Horn, Ash immediately chose to have Venusaur unleash its ultimate attack.

Countless vines rose from the ground, only to be broken one after another by the charging Heracross. In the end, however, it still failed to reach Venusaur and collapsed helplessly on its way to attack.

"Hera..." Heracross whimpered on the ground, unwilling to accept defeat.
