Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master.

Chapter 459 A kind heart doesn't necessarily mean silver-patterned people.

The men in robes kept shooing people away, telling them about the dangers of Grass-type Pokémon in the forest.

But the more this happened, the less Ash wanted to leave; he loved danger the most.

Besides, Xiaoyao hasn't even found him yet, and now she knows about the existence of that so-called king.

"A Pokémon that is enormous and can use extremely rare, high-powered moves—"

Xiao Zhi definitely needs to go and take a look!

Upon hearing the two men claim to be the guardians of this forbidden forest, Xiao Zhi looked closely and indeed found something resembling a map on their waists.

One of the men in the blue robes rambled on, saying that humans had once entered the forest and wreaked havoc in order to obtain Grass-type Pokémon, which angered the creatures there and caused them to become hostile towards humans.

Ash activated his telekinesis and instantly retrieved the map from the old man's waist.

"The magnetic field here is unusual; compasses and other instruments won't work. And lately, for some reason, the Grass-type Pokémon have become even more aggressive, attacking anyone they see—sigh!"

Ash's ability to take the map out of thin air startled the blue-robed man.

"How did you do that?"

But what surprised him even more was yet to come.

With a single kick, Xiao Zhi snapped a large tree that required one person to hug in half.

The flying tree trunk instantly leveled all the bushes in front of it, clearing the way for Ash's takeoff.

"Uncle, one of our companions got separated in the forest, so I'm sorry we can't leave for the time being."

"We'll leave as soon as we find it, and could you lend us a map?"

He hoisted up Victory and Pikachu, took a running start, and leaped away, flying straight off.

"Oh, am I...am I dreaming?"

The man in the blue robe murmured to himself as he watched Ash's figure disappear into the horizon.

The green-robed uncle standing to the side hadn't reacted yet, and turned to the blue-robed uncle in a daze to ask.

"What should we do? Should we chase after them?"

The man in the blue robe immediately slapped the man in the green robe.

"Fool, of course not! With that boy's skills, he'll be perfectly fine in the forest."

"Our mission for today is complete. Let's go back and report to the elders."

Having witnessed Ash's strength, the two uncles, true to their adult philosophy of taking it easy, turned and left without a second thought.

Ash and Max, using their map, diligently searched for May's whereabouts in the sky.

"This forest is so big!"

Max, carried on Ash and Pikachu's shoulders, strained to see the distance, but could not see the end of the forest.

"Even if my sister is an idiot, she should still know that if she gets lost, she should stay where she is or make some marks to make it easier for us to find her!"

"Why haven't we seen her anywhere around here? Could something have happened to her?"

"Don't worry too much. Xiaoyao is usually so lucky, she'll be fine."

Ash and Max both have terrible luck, so whenever there's a lottery event, they always let May participate.

Moreover, May always manages to get a gift every time she tries, making Ash incredibly envious.

How could someone who can find money even by tripping and falling while walking so easily have an accident?

Sure enough, Ash's aura senses quickly detected May.

Her current location is actually below a cliff at the edge of the forest; no wonder Xiao Sheng couldn't find her after searching for so long.

"This place is so desolate, what did Haruka do here?"

This bottomless cliff seems to divide two worlds: on one side is a lush green forest, and on the other side is a white field that has just been burned by a fire, which looks quite strange.

Ash didn't think about it any further; saving May was the priority right now.

At this moment, Xiaoyao was gripping a protruding rock on the cliff with one hand and hugging a cute garlic turtle with a heart pattern on its head with the other.

It looks like they've been hanging here for a while now.

Xiaoyao's hands trembled uncontrollably, and the little Bulbasaur was equally terrified.

However, at this moment, its vine was still tightly gripping a pretty little white flower and refusing to let go, while the other vine tried to hook up to the tree branch above them, but even when the vine stretched to its limit, it still couldn't reach it.

"Seeds~"

"Hang in there, Bulbasaur, we'll be safe." Even though May was covered in sweat, she still gently comforted Bulbasaur in her arms.

With her comforting words, the little guy calmed down a bit and tried to give Xiaoyao a smile in return.

"Seeds, seeds."

The main problem is that Bulbasaur can't really laugh at times like this.

Just as Xiaoyao was gritting her teeth and could no longer hold on, a pair of large hands suddenly wrapped around her waist.

"I didn't know you had a hobby of rock climbing, Haruka."

"Ash!" May was overjoyed. She knew Ash would definitely arrive in time to save her.

[Ding! Xiaoyao: Affection +2]

Ash gently picked up May and Bulbasaur together and carried them back to the cliff.

Xiaosheng and Pikachu, who were waiting there, immediately came up and handed May water.

"Seriously, sister, can't you just give me a break?"

"Hehe, sorry."

While Xiaoyao was drinking water, Xiaosheng finally noticed the garlic-shaped turtle in Xiaoyao's arms and immediately exclaimed.

"Wow, that's Bulbasaur! How did you run into it, sister!"

I just met Professor Oak not long ago, and Kakashi has a very deep impression of the three starter Pokémon from Kanto.

May, on the other hand, affectionately picked up Bulbasaur.

"It was fate, I guess. I was actually planning to wait where I was after I got lost, but then I heard cries for help and came over to check."

"We discovered that the child had fallen off a cliff while trying to pick a flower that was located on the edge of the cliff."

"So in order to save it, I jumped down after it in a moment of panic—and that's how things turned out."

May overestimated her stamina; she couldn't even get the Poké Ball out under those circumstances.

"Ah, what a failed act of heroism."

"What does it matter? As long as Bulbasaur is alright in the end, right?"

"Seeds, seeds!"

Because May bravely jumped down to save him, Bulbasaur is now especially fond of her.

When Xiaoyao saw it rubbing its little head with heart-shaped patterns against her arm, her heart almost melted.

"Ah, this Bulbasaur is so cute!"

"A Bulbasaur from the Hoenn region? That's quite rare. Is it a wild Pokémon?"

Just then, Xiao Zhi also came over and took a look at the new garlic turtle that had been clinging to the flowers.

"It should be. This child has never seen anyone like me before, definitely not a trainer."

"Just by looking at its size and color, it's amazing. It's obviously been well taken care of and doesn't look like an ordinary wild Pokémon."

Ash smiled and squatted down to pat Bulbasaur's head.

"I really miss it. I used to have a Bulbasaur too, but it evolved into Venusaur later. It was a great partner of mine."

"I haven't felt this touch in so long." Ash's natural friendliness made Bulbasaur feel very comfortable.

Just as everyone was enjoying themselves, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the forest behind them.

Surprisingly, a large group of Grass-type Pokémon surrounded them.

Upon seeing Bulbasaur surrounded by Ash and his friends, they immediately flew into a rage.

The leader of the group immediately exclaimed in disbelief.

"Ash, I have a feeling that Bellossom is saying we're enemies and telling Bulbasaur to go back to their side."

.

"You don't need to feel it, it's just that."

This Politoed was punched by him not long ago, how could it not consider Ash and his friends as enemies?

However, that was because they attacked first, so Ash wasn't to blame. Since the other side didn't make the first move, Ash didn't choose to attack them either.

"These Pokémon should be Bulbasaur's companions now." May reluctantly pushed Bulbasaur away.

"Go on, your family is here to pick you up."

"seed."

Bulbasaur was happy to see its companions come looking for it, but then hesitated because of what Bellossom said.

It stretched out its vines to separate the Grass-type Pokémon from Ash and his friends, but Bellsprout simply pulled its vines away, telling them not to stay with humans anymore.

Bulbasaur looked at May, who had just risked her life to save it, and then at its companion on the other side, caught in a dilemma.

However, just as tensions were running high, an even larger figure appeared from behind.

The newcomer turned out to be a huge Venusaur.

As soon as it appeared, all the Grass-type Pokémon present immediately fell silent and respectfully stepped aside.

Bulbasaur immediately ran excitedly towards Venusaur upon seeing it.

"Seeds, seeds!"

"Flowers~"

Under Bulbasaur's coaxing, Venusaur's originally serious face instantly softened.

It roared loudly towards the forest behind it.

"Flowers, flowers!" (These humans saved Bulbasaur; they're not bad people. Everyone, get out of here.)

The numerous Pokémon that had been hiding in the trees immediately retreated.

"What?! Were there really so many Pokémon surrounding us just now?"

"That's not all," Ash said to May with a hint of regret.

"Just now, within my sensing range, there were still many Grass-type Pokémon on their way, but it's a pity there was no chance to battle them."

Xiao Zhi wanted to wait until more of them gathered before trying to catch them in a jar.

However, at Venusaur's command, all the Grass-type Pokémon stopped their gathering and scattered, disappointed.

"Wow, that's amazing! It seems the king of the Forbidden Forest is this Venusaur." Max excitedly pulled out the Navigator video.

He wanted to record this rare Lord-type Pokémon in detail and then show it to Professor Oak to earn his praise.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Bulbasaur should be the offspring of Venusaur, and so many Pokémon have come looking for it."

No wonder this Bulbasaur looks so well-cared for; May was relieved to see it had found its parents.

However, the happy parent-child time passed in the blink of an eye, and Venusaur, which was fine just a moment ago, suddenly stumbled and fell down.

Ash and his friends rushed over to check, and that's when they discovered that Venusaur had burn marks on its body.

"Strange, the Forbidden Forest is supposed to be the kingdom of Grass-type Pokémon, so why is Venusaur in a burned state?"

Ash urged May to quickly heal Venusaur, and he immediately summoned his personal translator, Suicune.

After giving it a good beating, Suicune obediently went to talk to Venusaur.

Ash then realized that the Grass-type Pokémon in the Forbidden Forest were currently battling a group of Fire-type Pokémon that had invaded their territory.

The reason why Ash and his friends were attacked indiscriminately as soon as they stepped into the forest was because of this.

This is also because all the Grass-type Pokémon in the forest are currently under constant threat from enemies and are under high stress.

So at that time, May's Torchic and Skarmory not only battled in the forest, but Torchic also used the Fire-type move Flamethrower.

Naturally, they were immediately attracted, and now the Grass-type Pokémon in the Forbidden Forest react to fire.

Venusaur got injured because of what happened this morning.

Grass-type Pokémon originally lived in forests with better environments and abundant resources, so they were generally of higher levels and stronger in battle.

The group of Fire-type Pokémon, the Magna, who originally lived in the neighboring valley, were slightly lower level, but they had an advantage in terms of type.

A Fire-type move that deals double damage is basically too much for a Grass-type Pokémon to withstand.

Therefore, the two sides were evenly matched and locked in a stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

The Pokémon on both sides are facing off around the cliff where Ash and his friends are. The battlefield is the area opposite that has been burned to the ground.

However, the balance was broken today. Due to the intrusion of a certain muscular man, the Grass-type Pokémon army suffered heavy losses.

The frontline battle collapsed immediately due to a lack of sufficient reinforcements.

This forced Venusaur, the leader of this forest, to personally lead the charge and repel the enemy's offensive with its formidable strength.

"That's why, while suffering from burns, Bulbasaur also escaped from its territory due to neglect."

"Hmm, so this is the territorial battle between Pokémon." Max listened with great interest to the story Suicune recounted.

"I've seen plenty of this kind of territorial disputes in Orange Blossom Forest."

Each instance of intrigue and deception is like a formal international game. Xiao Sheng has even witnessed Pokémon using double agents to achieve victory, which is something boys love.

Sho wanted to ask for more details, but Ash grabbed him.

"Haven't you noticed that something's still not quite right?"

"What's wrong, Ash?" May didn't understand at all, so Ash could only continue explaining.

"Territorial disputes between Pokémon groups usually only occur between Pokémon with similar habits, such as Pidgeot and Finch."

"But this time, the attacking side, the Magma Snail, is a Pokémon that loves hot habitats the most, and many of them even live directly in the lava of volcanoes."

"Why would they suddenly want to take over the territory of the Grass-type Pokémon in the Forbidden Forest?"

"The high temperatures they bring are a disaster in the forest; if they stay in the same place for too long, they will burn down the surrounding trees."

"Yes, living in a damp forest is not good for lava snails at all."

"And if they continue to live here, the forest ecosystem will be ruined," Xiaoyao finally realized and chimed in.

"Something must have happened in the lava snails' original territory."

At this moment, Ash looked at the scorched land on the other side of the cliff, which had just experienced a great battle. There were several huge things that looked like plant roots standing on the scorched land.

They are thick and sturdy, and even after being burned by fire, they still stand there like pillars supporting the sky.

"That move seemed to be Crazy Plant, and there were traces of green grass on the scene—this is an extremely rare and powerful skill."

With this in mind, Xiao Zhi had an idea.

"Venusaur, how about we make a deal?"

"flower?"
