Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Its massive body cast a large shadow, and its four legs, as thick as stone pillars, treaded on the ground.

"seed……"

Ash's Bulbasaur sensed something was wrong and was about to retreat.

But Venusaur had already raised a vine whip and, with a slow and steady motion, gently swung it towards Bulbasaur.

They deserve it!

The vine whip shot out, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, but the force was perfectly controlled.

After all, we don't intend to hurt it, we just want to teach it a lesson, a warning.

Bulbasaur instinctively raised its Vine Whip—

"Snapped!"

The two vine whips collided in the air, making a crisp sound.

Bulbasaur actually managed to hold on.

Venusaur: "..."

No, do frogs these days really not give you any face at all?

According to the normal script, this old patriarch will teach you a lesson, and you, a junior, will obediently take the punishment, bow your head and admit your mistake, and then the matter will be over.

Everyone's happy; the ancestor's authority has been preserved, the younger generation's recklessness has been forgiven, and everyone is happy.

You actually dare to fight back now?

Do they really think its reputation as an ancestor is just for show?

Venusaur felt its blood pressure was a little high.

it is good.

well.

It took a deep breath, and this time it was truly a little angry.

With a flick of the whip, a surge of hidden force traveled along its length.

Bulbasaur felt a powerful force surge from the opponent's vine whip, and its own vine whip snapped back as if it had been electrocuted, causing the entire frog to stagger.

Before it could even stand still, Venusaur's vine whips were already raised high.

Then it slammed down on his head!

If that hits hard, this Bulbasaur will definitely lose its fighting ability.

I'll just pour more energy into it while it's unconscious and let it evolve completely!

It looked like they were about to draw a full-on shot.

Bulbasaur tried to dodge, but the vine whip was too fast; its body didn't have time to react at all.

It could only watch helplessly as the thick vine whip grew larger and larger in its field of vision.

The surrounding Bulbasaur instinctively stepped back, none daring to interfere with their ancestor's affairs.

"Spare the frog under the whip!"

A voice suddenly exploded from the side.

"Snapped--!"

A crisp sound.

It wasn't the sound of a rattan whip striking someone.

It was the sound of something catching it steadily.

A hand emerged from the side, fingers spread, and grasped the thick vine whip perfectly.

Not moving.

Hundreds of Bulbasaur turned their heads in unison, their gazes following the hand upwards.

Arm.

Shoulder.

Then came a face wearing a baseball cap.

Ash had teleported to Bulbasaur's side without anyone noticing.

One hand firmly gripped the thick vine whip, without the slightest wavering.

"?!"

The Bulbasaur were filled with shock.

They actually withstood the ancestor's attack!

What an amazing human!

175. Watch closely, this is how Ash uses it!

Venusaur was startled as its vital point was firmly grasped.

This scene... seems a bit familiar.

It lashed the vine whip hard.

Not moving.

That hand gripped its vine whip firmly, like an iron clamp.

The force was so great that even this ancient creature, which had lived for countless years, felt a sense of absurdity.

Venusaur's gaze fell on Ash's face.

Although their appearances are completely different, their temperament and strange strength are exactly the same as that guy from back then!

Seeing that Venusaur didn't intend to attack further, Ash relaxed his tone slightly and began to explain.

"Bulbasaur truly meant no harm, it just couldn't control itself at the end. On behalf of Bulbasaur, I apologize to you..."

"Pickup!"

Brock and Misty, holding Poké Balls, also came up behind Ash.

As a team, we should always stick together and not hold Ash back.

Venusaur didn't respond, but its gaze swept over Ash, looking him up and down.

Ash instinctively prepared himself to deal with the attack.

Bulbasaur tilted its head and narrowed its eyes slightly.

This posture, that instinctive reaction of reaching out to block when facing intense pressure.

The way his lower body remained motionless after catching the vine whip, and the expression that subtly hinted at anticipation of his attack...

picture!

It looks so much like it!

Venusaur frowned.

It recalled that forest from forty years ago.

I remembered that young man who was all muscle but insisted on calling himself a "researcher" and wanted to "borrow some things to study".

Venusaur didn't really want to recall what happened afterward.

In any case, it lost a lot of self-esteem that day, while the young man left satisfied, bowing and saying, "Thank you for your cooperation, senior."

unlucky.

What bad luck!

And now, at this very moment, just like back then.

Venusaur remained silent for a moment.

It slowly loosened the force on the vine whip, no longer wrestling with Xiaozhi.

After all... this kid in front of me might really be from Zhenxin Town.

They're used to being ruthless and careless—well, it means they're all juniors from Kanto, so let's just handle them gently.

It glanced at the Bulbasaur around it, who were intently watching the battle, but still maintained its senior-like demeanor.

"Bana—"

So he's that person's junior.

Well then, since that's the case, and you are that person's senior, then you are naturally their junior as well.

This offense... I'll let it go this time because you're young and ignorant, but don't let it happen again.

It spoke in a calm tone, but the reactions around it were far from calm.

A collective gasp of astonishment arose from all directions.

The Bulbasaur whispered amongst themselves, their eyes filled with shock.

[What?! The human who caught the ancestor's vine whip with his bare hands is actually a descendant of someone the ancestor knew?!]

[Are you stupid? The ancestor's meaning is obvious: that human predecessor is the ancestor's descendant! The ancestor clearly humiliated that human predecessor!]

【I see!】

So, the old ancestor's whip strike just now wasn't an attack at all, but a test move, right? It must have been a test move, right?

Of course! The ancestor is instructing the younger generation!

Xiao Zhi, who understood, was clearly taken aback.

"That person...? Who are you referring to, senior?"

Venusaur: "?"

Wait a moment.
