Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"Seeds, seeds, seeds."

Upon hearing this, Gengar, who was hanging upside down, wiped its eyes.

His face was full of resentment.

Let's get along well?

Who do you think you are, some kind of bossy frog?

Looking at Gengar, Charmeleon also exhaled a wisp of black smoke with sparks from its nose, its eyes arrogant.

As their eyes met again, the tension in the air began to rise once more...

Bulbasaur suddenly lashed its vine whip out to the side into the empty space!

"Whoosh—Crack!!!"

The crisp, loud sound of it cutting through the air carried a strong sense of intimidation.

Xiao Gang's shoulders twitched involuntarily.

But Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up.

"Excellent! You've completely mastered this technique!"

Gengar was startled, but having died once before, its ghostly face immediately twitched.

—Just this one, who are you trying to scare...?

Before the thought could even finish, the garlic-shaped appendage on Bulbasaur's back twitched slightly, and then three, four... a total of five or six vines extended out.

It swayed nimbly around Gengar's body, subtly blocking all possible paths of conflict.

Gengar stared at the swaying vine shadows and swallowed a mouthful of saliva that wasn't even there.

But then again... listen to advice, and you'll eat your fill!

When it comes to head-on combat, especially in situations where it's controlled at close range, it's indeed... not very good at it.

"Seeds, seeds, seeds!"

Bulbasaur made a simple handshake gesture with its vine whip, then pointed again to the source of the wafting food aroma, its expression leaving no room for doubt.

Charmeleon flicked its tail; it didn't seem to care.

I had a good time anyway, and it wasn't the other animal that suffered a loss earlier.

A moment of silence.

Gengar's eyes darted around, and then it suddenly grinned.

It stretched out its round, short arms.

"Gag~?"

Okay, okay~

Who can blame it for being so generous?

It can reach out first, right?

Charmeleon squinted, staring intently at Gengar's seemingly "sincere" smile for a full three seconds, its breathing heavy.

Finally, it slowly extended its claws.

Seeing this, Bulbasaur nodded in satisfaction.

The vine whip was released.

The two Pokémon's claws and hands touched briefly before separating.

"Roar."

"Gag~"

"Dinner is ready!"

Xiao Zhi's voice came through.

The aroma of lunch had already filled the open space.

Bulbasaur glanced at both sides one last time, nodded, and turned to walk steadily toward the laid-out tablecloth.

The instant its vine whip retracted—

Charmander glanced furtively at the purple figure floating beside it.

Gengar also used its sinister gaze to furtively glance back at its opponent beside it.

Strike first, strike hard! ×2

Swish!

call!

Gengar's eyes suddenly glowed red!

Hypnosis!

Charmeleon's mouth was also filled with raging flames!

Flame jet!

The two Pokémon moved incredibly fast, and in the instant they made their move, they both saw a clear message written in each other's eyes.

Aha!

I knew you were bluffing me when you agreed to shake hands! ×2

Charmander closed its eyes to avoid hypnosis.

But forced to close his eyes, he lost his aim at the jet of flame, and the blazing column of fire just grazed past at an angle.

Conflict reignites!

"seed?!"

Bulbasaur, who had only taken a few steps, turned around in astonishment upon hearing the sound, its face filled with disbelief.

But it was too late!

Gengar chuckled as a dark, purple aura-shrouded shadow ball rapidly formed between its palms and was hurled at Charmeleon, which had its eyes closed!

However, Charmeleon, having endured countless battles and been honed by Dragonite, had already accumulated a wealth of experience in dodging.

Even with its eyes closed, it managed a clumsy but effective roll on the spot, thanks to its keen perception of energy fluctuations and muscle memory.

"Boom-bang!"

The shadow orb grazed past it, slammed into the tree trunk behind it, and exploded into a cloud of shadow.

Charmeleon leaped up and, relying on its senses and memory of the location, fiercely swept its claw towards Gengar's approximate location!

"boom!"

The dragon claw missed the elusive Gengar, but instead slammed solidly into the soft, muddy ground.

Instantly, dirt and grass clippings flew up as if in an explosion!

Worse still, several sharp fragments of rock, blasted away by the dragon claw's violent energy, flew like stray bullets out of control.

It shot out at an astonishing speed, hitting the innocent Pokémon that were just about to eat!

The first to suffer was the Pidgey, still perched high on a branch, gazing sadly at the back of the Butterfly and mourning the passing of its "plump and delicious insect life."

Caught completely off guard, a fist-sized pebble struck it precisely and mercilessly on the back of the head!

"Beep?!"

Pidgey felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and the sky filled with tiny stars began to spin. His body swayed, and before he could even let out a complete scream, he fell headfirst from the branch where he was perched!

Without veering off course, it plunged headfirst into the bowl of the giant butterfly that was enjoying its meal, its wings and claws flapping wildly.

The large crab holding food nearby was also affected by the flying pebbles and chaos.

It scurried sideways to avoid a rock, and in its panic, the crab's claws instinctively snapped shut.

"Crack!"

As luck would have it, it caught one of Bulbasaur's vines as it hurriedly reached out to stop the chaos!

"seed?!"

Bulbasaur, in pain, reflexively lashed out with its Vine Whip.

The giant crab was flung towards Pikachu!

In an instant, chaos erupted in the forest clearing, with demons dancing wildly and chickens and dogs running amok.

The battle between Gengar and Charmeleon escalated.

With its eyes closed, the Charizard, empowered by its powerful flames, indiscriminately spewed fire.

Xiao Zhi also had a headache watching this.

No wonder most people don't carry more than six Pokémon!

His eyes narrowed, he took a deep breath, and prepared to speak up and stop them himself.

Just as Ash was about to make his move.

"Jenny—!"

"JeniJeni!"

“Jenny!”

Several water guns shot out from the woods in unison.

It precisely pierced through the chaotic battlefield, striking two Pokémon.

"Ah-"

The fire dragon's flames were doused and began to emit white smoke.

"puff!"

Gengar's Shadow Ball was shattered by Water Gun before it could even take shape.
