Pokémon: Simultaneous time travel, this Ash is too versatile!

Chapter 150 Venusaur vs. Bulbasaur: Who is the Evolved Form?!

Ash's purpose in coming here this time is to share half of the original life force.

If it were Team Rocket, or even an ordinary person, who had the strength, they would definitely take all the special power from this tree.

In this way, the Mysterious Garden will never exist again, and there will never be another Bulbasaur coming here and inexplicably evolving.

This is also what Venusaur has always been worried about. In the end, he was the first to discover the source of life inside the tree, but it does not belong to him.

He couldn't take it away, nor could he put it away; he could only let it radiate its power as it pleased.

The only thing Venusaur can do is use the power of the Life Source, combined with its own toxicity, to put people or Pokémon who come to the vicinity of Wonder Garden into a hallucinatory state, trying its best to avoid being discovered by others.

Unfortunately, the Garden of Wonders was eventually discovered by humans, and as he had expected, these humans were after the source of life.

However, there was some less-than-good news: the human indicated that he would only take half of the Source of Life, and the remaining Source of Life would only need five years to recover.

Five years is not a long time for the Bulbasaur clan; in fact, it can be considered a very short time.

But who can guarantee that the Source of Life will be restored in five years? Can we really trust what humans say?
However, Venusaur sensed a powerful threat from Ash. Although it sounds a bit unscientific, if they were to fight, Venusaur might not be a match for this human.

That's right, they are no match for humans, not that they are no match for elves.

This situation is very strange. Humans should be very weak creatures. They only have the ability to train elves and do not possess any supernatural power themselves.

However, Venusaur felt a real threat from Ash, which is why it didn't reject Ash immediately.

In the wild, everything is decided by force. The fact that the other party had the strength but didn't just take the item is already considered quite reasonable.

After a moment of silence, Venusaur finally spoke.

"Bana!" Let your Bulbasaur fight me. If you win, you can have any Life Seed you want.

Upon hearing this, Ash and Bulbasaur were both stunned. They hadn't expected Venusaur to make such a demand, wanting to battle Bulbasaur... Wasn't this just pure bullying of the frog?
Although Bulbasaur's strength is at the elite high level, it has not yet evolved, and the opponent it is facing is at the peak of its professional level!
The opponent is a whole level above Bulbasaur, which is obviously a very unfair battle request.

Venusaur was actually using this argument to indirectly reject Ash.

He didn't want to give up the Seed of Life in the first place, but if he refused outright... Ash's unknown strength would also be a big problem.

Therefore, Venusaur put forward this reasonable yet somewhat outrageous condition.

If he wants the Seed of Life, then let his own kind fight him! Only his own kind!
It's reasonable for members of the same species to compete for the Seed of Life, but if you look at Bulbasaur's level, it seems a bit outrageous. This is the strategy that Venusaur is playing with its cards up its sleeve.

Such 'schemes' are naturally useless against treacherous villains. Those kinds of people wouldn't bother with any discussion; they'd just rob the place.

However, Venusaur saw through Ash's nature, so this open scheme was extremely effective against him.

If he can defeat Ash's Bulbasaur, then he can rightfully leave the Seed of Life here.

But he underestimated one thing: Bulbasaur's strength...

"Okay, let's do it your way and fight here?" Ash snapped his fingers, agreeing to Venusaur's suggestion.

This decisive and efficient manner left Venusaur completely bewildered. He checked Venusaur's strength again... Hmm, its strength is definitely top-notch among Venusaur, perhaps even the best.

None of the Bulbasaur present were stronger than this Bulbasaur, but Bulbasaur's strength was far inferior to his, not to mention that the other party had not yet evolved.

Even when they're not at the same level, Bulbasaur wins less than 30% of the time, let alone now that the level difference is so large.

Since this human wants to grasp at that elusive hope, then he will grant that human's wish.

"Bana!" With a roar from Venusaur, the surrounding Ivysaurs slowly moved around, and soon a huge open space was cleared in the middle. This open space was even larger than the arena inside the gym.

Xiao Zhi gave his backpack to Xiao Xia and asked her to keep it safe.

There's a Togepi egg in my backpack, and it would be troublesome if I accidentally knocked it over during a battle.

"Bulbasaur, are you ready?"

"Dana!" Bulbasaur leaped in front of Ash, his face full of fighting spirit. This battle might be his last as Bulbasaur, and he not only wanted to win, but he wanted to win spectacularly!
"Pikachu!!" Pikachu cheered for Bulbasaur at Misty's feet. Bulbasaur stretched out a vine whip and gave a thumbs-up sign—he wouldn't lose!

"Bana!" Let's begin!

"Use Bulbasaur!" Ash said, closing his eyes and channeling his Aura power from within his body.

Waveguides reside in my heart!

A powerful waveguide was injected into Bulbasaur's body, and in an instant, Bulbasaur's overall power directly rose to its professional peak!
After acquiring that life force, Bulbasaur did not evolve, but its overall physical attributes improved, and its level reached the peak of elite.

Previously, the power of Aura would have only been able to raise Bulbasaur to the intermediate professional level at best.

The power of the Aura is related to the level of the Pokémon itself and its ability to withstand attacks.

Bulbasaur hasn't evolved yet, so even though its stats are high, its resilience is still quite limited. However, after the life modification just now, its resilience has reached a new level, allowing it to advance to a higher stage.

Venusaur had initially thought that, as the higher-level player, it would give Bulbasaur a few moves first, but after feeling the power unleashed by Bulbasaur, it was instantly dumbfounded.

No way, what the hell? He was clearly several times weaker than him just now, how did he suddenly become almost on par with him? This is just not scientific!
Even with that mysterious seed of life, it still took him several years to raise his strength to this level!
What's wrong with that Bulbasaur? Why did it suddenly seem like a completely different Pokémon?!

"The opponent is also a Grass-type Pokémon, so I can't use moves like Sunny Day and Grassy Terrain, otherwise I'll just be giving the opponent a buff. Plus, Grass-type moves only have a quarter of their power against Venusaur, so the best way to fight is... to use poison!"

Instead of attacking rashly, Ash calmly analyzed the situation.

The guidance from the experts in the group wasn't for nothing; it would be a shame to just recklessly charge in and attack. The opponent is an evolved form with the exact same type as Bulbasaur, but with superior stats in every aspect. However, their levels aren't that far apart right now.

In this situation, using a sunny day that boosts Grass-type Pokémon, or a Grassy Terrain, will actually provide a greater boost to Venusaur.

Therefore, in this match, not only can he not open the arena, but he also cannot let the opponent open the arena.

"Bulbasaur, Sludge Bomb!" Ash commanded Bulbasaur to attack first, using a normal-damage Poison-type move.

"Da Nie Hu Xia!"

Bulbasaur leaped into the air, aiming its seed at the Venusaur below, and then spat out a large mouthful of dark purple venom!

With a stomp of its foot, Venusaur caused countless green plants to spring up from the ground!

The green plants are covered with countless thorns and barbs; touching them would probably result in a bloody head wound!
The ultimate move of the Grass type: Harden Plants!

This hardened plant is slightly different from the one Bulbasaur used before; the hardened plant Bulbasaur used didn't have those barbs on it.

His Harden Plant seems to be used for control and restraint, with damage being secondary, while this Venusaur's Harden Plant is a pure damage skill.

Countless green plants rose up, directly blocking the poison that was falling from the sky.

However, Grass-type moves have very low resistance to Poison-type moves. In the blink of an eye, the countless green plants that emerged from the ground were directly corroded and rotted by the poison.

But more than half of the thorny green plants flew towards Bulbasaur!

"Use the vine whip to dodge," Xiao Zhi commanded calmly, his expression unchanged.

While a Bulbasaur in mid-air cannot change direction out of thin air, there is a ready-made stepping stone.

As the hardened plants surrounded Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur extended two vines and lashed them directly at the hardened plants, using the reaction force to launch itself away.

The hardened plants relentlessly pursued him, but Bulbasaur, with its vine whips, seemed to dance in the air, and none of the attacking hardened plants could even touch him.

Venusaur was completely stunned. Such a wide-range move, and it couldn't even touch that little thing? Are you kidding me?!

It felt like the opponent could completely predict all his attack directions, and each time he could jump away from the attack position in advance.

The plant waved for a full minute but didn't touch Bulbasaur even once. At that point, the hardened plant's duration ended.

The thorny vines on the field slowly disappeared, and Venusaur was also panting heavily.

Even for a professional-level Venusaur, Harden Plant, a move of this caliber, consumes a very high amount of resources.

The fact that such a wide-range attack failed to hit Bulbasaur even once is a huge blow to Venusaur.

At this moment, Bulbasaur returned to the ground along the disappeared vines, and the seeds on its body began to accumulate energy.

"Sludge Bomb!" Ash continued to use Poison-type moves, as other moves were simply not enough to deal significant damage to Venusaur.

Bulbasaur leaped up again, spewing out the venom it had been accumulating from the seeds on its back. This time, Venusaur was not only unable to use any moves to defend itself, but it was also unable to move.

Harden Plant is indeed a powerful move, but powerful moves come with significant side effects. After using Harden Plant, you will be unable to move for a period of time.

Even though some Pokémon can shorten their stiffness through training, wild Pokémon generally don't have a planned approach to shortening their stiffness.

Even something as rash as using hardened plants wouldn't be done so casually with a trainer present.

This is the difference between having a trainer and not having one.

The venom sprayed from Bulbasaur's back landed entirely on Venusaur, and the bubbling purple poison caused Venusaur to cry out in pain.

But now he can only be constantly eroded by the sludge bombs, with no way to counter them.

"Continue using sludge bombs!"

After Bulbasaur fell from the sky, Ash gave the order once again.

Dark purple liquid was sprayed out again. Because the interval between the two attacks was very short, Venusaur was still unable to break free from its stunned state and was hit by Sludge Bomb once again.

However, after this skill, Venusaur regained its freedom and immediately extended six vine whips from its petals, lashing out at Bulbasaur.

He had seen everything Bulbasaur did. Since Bulbasaur was so good at dodging, he would restrain it. Now let's see where it can hide!

However, the six vines, which lashed out like a horde of demons, failed to touch Bulbasaur at all.

"My Bulbasaur dodged the hardened plant attack that covered such a large area, so why do you think Vine Whip could touch it?" Ash retorted, leaving Venusaur speechless.

Yes, if the hardened plants can be avoided over such a large area, how could the vines not be able to avoid them?

Under the observation of the power of the waveguide, this slow-moving creature would be completely helpless against Bulbasaur, being used as a punching bag.

Even if Bulbasaur were only a pro at a high level, it would still beat Venusaur to a pulp.

"Bulbasaur, use Vine Whip to flip Venusaur over!" Ash shouted after Bulbasaur dodged the opponent's attack, instructing Bulbasaur to use Vine Whip on the opponent in return.

If the vine whip were to strike Venusaur, it would certainly not cause much damage; the vine whip is only there to restrict Venusaur's movements.

As soon as he finished speaking, four vines extended from Bulbasaur's body, binding Venusaur's feet directly. The next second, Bulbasaur exerted force, lifting Venusaur's entire body with the vines, then turning it upside down and slamming it down!
"boom!"
