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

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!"

"Flower~"

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 are not bad people. Everyone, please step back.)

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

"What? There were 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 trap.

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 are 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 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.

"Don't you guys realize that something's still not quite right?"

"What's wrong, Ash?" May didn't understand at all, so Ash had to 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 the 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 agreed, realizing her mistake.

“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?"

Chapter 459 New Partner

Crazy Plant is the strongest Grass-type move, on par with Hyper Beam, and it's almost exclusively learned by the starter Pokémon, which speaks volumes about its power.

Although it will cause a period of paralysis after use, just like the Destruction Ray, it is still very useful if used properly.

After all, its power is undeniable, and it's a skill of the same type.

A high number is truly remarkable!

Finding a Pokémon that possesses this skill is extremely difficult, so Ash couldn't possibly miss it now that he had one right in front of him.

"Venusaur, I'll help you solve the Lava Crawler invasion problem. How about the Pokémon Crazy Plants you taught me?"

Ash took out his specially made Energy Cube and held it to Venusaur's mouth, then unleashed his Affinity ability to get closer to Venusaur.

However, the forced smile he gave looked somewhat terrifying against the backdrop of his powerful muscles.

Fortunately, the Energy Cube worked. Venusaur sniffed the Energy Cube that Ash had prepared according to its appetite and was immediately attracted to it, and began to eat it in big mouthfuls.

He nodded repeatedly in agreement with Ash's suggestion.

"Flower (chewing)...flower!" (No problem, I'll agree to any condition as long as it protects our territory!)

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Ash casually picked up Suicune from beside him, skillfully arranged it like a submachine gun, and charged towards the territory of the Magikarp on the other side of the cliff.

May and Max, who were already used to Ash's impulsive nature, stayed behind with Pikachu to eat berries for lunch and tease Bulbasaur.

"Ah! That's not fair! I want to stay and rest too!"

Bang, bang, bang!

"Enough with the nonsense! You're only here once, so get your work done! Don't think I don't know how carefree you were in the Dark City. You didn't do any of your training right!"

"Hehehe, the principle of balancing work and rest has always been my guiding principle in martial arts. I train every three days!"

Seeing that his actions in the Dark City had not been kept from Ash, Eight Treasures immediately began to make up a story.

Ash's response was naturally three punches from Odysseus.

Bang, bang, bang!

"Ugh—!"

This time, Ash used even more strength, and three big bumps immediately appeared on Eight Treasure Porridge's head.

"You damn lazybones! I thought you slacked off once every three days, but it turns out you slacked off for three days straight!" Xiao Zhi was so angry that his hair stood on end.

"You don't need to go back to Dark City anymore. Come here and train with the Hoenn newbies until you die!!!"

"Ah, no!"

"You have no right to refuse!"

Bang, bang, bang!

This guy is even a bit rusty with using Water Gun, so Ash just used Aura Power to fill him up, making Eight Treasure Porridge feel like he was in heaven.

"Water cannon!"

Splash!

One after another, huge water bullets were continuously sprayed out of Babaozhou's mouth, repelling all the Lava Snails that surrounded him after hearing Xiaozhi's running sound.

They soon crossed the scorched white land and arrived at the valley next to the Forbidden Forest.

He tossed down the eight-treasure porridge, which looked like a shriveled cucumber, and then looked around.

"Strange, the temperature here shouldn't be this low."

"Low? I already feel unbearably hot."

Eight Treasure Porridge quickly became lively again; its greatest strength among all the things it had done for Ash was its resilience.

"Idiot, if this place could be the original territory of the lava snails, it must have been a place with lava flowing everywhere and steam constantly."

"But the temperature here is only a few degrees higher than in the Forbidden Forest, which is very abnormal."

As far as Ash could see, the valley was covered by a thick layer of volcanic rock, but now no lava could be seen on the surface.

All that remains are some empty, deep pits, telling the story of what they once were.

Suddenly, Ash, who was wandering around in the valley, saw a large hole dug by man at the foot of the largest mountain in the area.

When the waveguide sensor was activated, it detected nothing. Alarm bells rang in Xiaozhi's mind, and he quickly grabbed Eight Treasure Porridge and ran over.

After walking along the cave entrance for a short while, they found a large iron gate.

Looking at the big "R" on the iron gate, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but laugh speechlessly.

"No wonder the waveguide sensors are unusually quiet; they're everywhere."

He immediately released Mudkip and had it use Dig to lead Ash around the large iron gate made of Team Rocket's special metal.

They appeared inside the new base from a place that those two idiots never expected.

"Hey, Amazon, three times."

"It's Kosaburo... Ah! You little rascal, how did you get in?"

"It's simple, just go through the tunnels."

Ash leaped gracefully, spinning 360 degrees in the air before landing perfectly.

Then the Eight Treasure Porridge and Mudkip that followed the jump fell headfirst onto the sand like wild geese landing on a sand dune, leaving Ash speechless.

"Are you two kidding me?!"

"Oops, oops!"

"Mago, Mago~"

They did it again immediately, and then they started banging their heads on the ground again.

Ash could only quickly pull the two clowns out of the ground and force them into a cool pose, ruining the supposedly impressive entrance.

However, Kosaburo and Yamato, who were completely unprepared for Ash's appearance, were so startled that they dropped their lunchboxes. They had no time to watch the performance of the Eight Treasure Porridge and Mudkip.

This time they learned their lesson and implemented all the usual "anti-Xiao Zhi measures," so how could they still be discovered so easily?

"That's because you two idiots forgot the most important thing: to cover up the entrance to the secret base."

"Oh~"
