Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

He casually tossed a few tree fruits into his mouth.

After chewing a couple of times, the tree fruit was completely devoured in just a few bites.

"puff--"

Then a hard, fingernail-sized seed was suddenly ejected from my mouth.

The seed shot through the air with a sharp whistling sound, striking the trunk of the dead tree with pinpoint accuracy.

With a snap.

It was just embedded directly into it.

Ash, without batting an eye, popped a few more berries into his mouth.

chew.

Chew.

His cheeks were bulging.

"puff--"

Another fruit pit flew out.

This time it was faster, the trajectory was straighter, and it carried a more powerful force than before, accurately hitting the same spot on the same tree trunk.

They added a few more tree fruits.

Chew, chew, chew.

"Puff puff--"

Three shots in quick succession.

The three seeds flew out almost simultaneously, embedding themselves in the tree trunk in a triangular pattern, making three crisp "snap snap snap" sounds.

Bulbasaur was stunned.

Venusaur was stunned.

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia were also stunned.

"seed."

Bulbasaur poked Ash.

Then he pointed to the Venusaur standing to the side.

Ash then realized that he had attacked Venusaur's Pokémon Tree.

"Excuse me, senior! I just blurted it out, I'll stop now..."

Before she could finish speaking, Venusaur generously swung its Vine Whip.

"Bana."

Oh, Xiao Zhi, why are you being so polite with me?

It's just a dead tree, nothing to worry about!

Venusaur's tone was so nonchalant and carefree that it made Bulbasaur feel quite uncomfortable.

Little things?

When it broke the dead tree, that's not what you said, is it?

As if sensing Bulbasaur's incredible abilities, Venusaur lowered its head and affectionately patted its little head with its Vine Whip.

"Bana."

Silly child.

That's because you're not Ash Ketchum.

Bulbasaur: "..."

Ash turned his head and looked at Bulbasaur, who was completely stunned.

"You see, the key is the coordination between muscles. You've already succeeded more than halfway by being able to condense the seed."

Bulbasaur didn't listen at all; it just kept its mouth wide open.

It subconsciously looked at Xiaogang and Xiaoxia beside it.

No, him...?

...Was He really a human being?

Bulbasaur's brain is undergoing an unprecedented storm.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang probably guessed what Bulbasaur was thinking, and nodded in unison.

"People are indeed not very good at using their skills."

"But since it's Ash Ketchum."

"Then it's not surprising."

After all, Ash can use Fire Punch.

A mere seed machine gun... that's not even worth mentioning!

Venusaur nodded in agreement.

As a Grass-type master who has lived for so many years, it senses things more clearly than anyone else—

Ash's attacks just now didn't show any Grass-type energy fluctuations.

It's purely the explosive power of the fruit pit combined with the muscles in the mouth.

To be precise, this isn't really a seed machine gun.

It's just pure, powerful energy.

As for the question of whether humans can do it.

Venusaur pondered Ash's origins once more.

Zhenxin Town.

Oh, it's Pallet New Town.

Not surprising then.

Venusaur maintained its "everything is under control" expression and let out a soft cry.

"Bana."

Don't just stand there, give it a try.

Bulbasaur awakens as if from a dream.

It looked at Ash's encouraging gaze.

Remembering Ash's teachings, he used the Seed Gun once again.

"call out--"

Although it wasn't as fast as Ash's berry, nor as powerful, and though its direction was slightly off—this time it still managed to fly out.

It flew away!

Bulbasaur paused for a second, then suddenly jumped up.

"Dana! Dana!"

It did it!

It really did it!

Xiao Zhi chuckled and patted its head.

"That's it! With a little more practice, you'll be able to fire in bursts!"

Bulbasaur nodded vigorously, its eyes shining brightly.

Seeing this, several Bulbasaur that wanted to improve also rushed forward.

Then everyone started asking questions at once.

"What? You want to learn the Leaf Blade Technique? You want to learn earthquake techniques?"

"Okay, then line up and come one at a time—"

......

Under the shade of a tree, Bulbasaur closed its eyes.

Its body was glowing faintly.

It was not the light of evolution, but a gentler light, as if responding to some kind of call.

The seeds on its back trembled gently.

The surrounding vegetation—the grass, the wildflowers, the low shrubs—was leaning towards it at an extremely slow pace, as if an invisible force was pulling them along.

Venusaur noticed this.

It didn't speak, it just watched quietly.

Bulbasaur senses the surrounding vegetation.

It understood.

Feel the wind, feel the light, feel the invisible yet real life force flowing through this land beneath your feet.

Venusaur breathed a sigh of relief.

There was relief, satisfaction, and an indescribable sense of pride, like a feeling that "there are successors."

It glanced at Bulbasaur, then at Ash, who was surrounded by a group of Ivysaurs explaining the principles of moves in the distance, and finally at the Ivysaurs that had already begun practicing on their own—

The Bulbasaur family is really thriving!
