Knights of the Elf World

Chapter 269 Bulbasaur blooms!

"What a disgusting feeling!"

A new star is rising, and coupled with the touching lines, people can immediately know the true nature of this star.

"That direction seems to be Yuanzhu City." Xiaogang looked at the direction where Team Rocket flew away and said helplessly: "This way, they will be ahead of us again."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll beat them down as many times as they come!" Xiaozhi said confidently, and then looked at Chikorita: "Chikorita, good job!"

"Chick!" Chikorita called out happily, jumped into Xiaozhi's arms, rubbed against him, and kept acting coquettishly.

"Well, with these three funny guys from Team Rocket, the trip won't be so boring. Besides, these guys are like sticky candy that you can't get rid of, so just treat them as experience bags." Xichen shrugged and said, "But Chikorita really likes Xiaozhi."

But with Ash's personality, I think all Pokémon will like him.

"Okay, let's go. After we cross this mountain, we will reach Yuanzhu City." Xiaogang greeted everyone.

"Look over there!" At this moment, on the hillside over there, Xiaoxia saw a lot of Grass-type Pokémon.

"There seem to be a lot of Grass-type Pokémon here." Xiaogang looked around and saw a Shuttlecock running happily there: "It seems that they are all very happy."

"Jianzihua, have you finished your warm-up exercises?" Xichen and others looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who spoke was a young man in shorts.

"Is this your shuttlecock flower? It seems to be very close to you." Xiaogang took the lead to walk over and say hello.

"Yes. It's the companion I've been taking care of. My name is Xiao Shi."

Xichen and others introduced themselves to Xiaoshi. When they talked about going to challenge the Vermillion Gym, Xiaoshi suddenly asked Xichen and Xiaozhi eagerly if they had any Grass-type Pokémon.

"Please, let your Grass-type Pokémon fight against my Kabutoka. Anyone can do it!" Xiao Shi requested.

"No problem." Xichen nodded, then looked at Xiaozhi: "Chikorra has just finished fighting Team Rocket, let me take over this battle."

Although Xiaozhi felt regretful, he did not reject Xichen's proposal. Seeing this, Xichen sent out Bulbasaur.

"It's Bulbasaur. Could this be Xichen's initial Pokémon?" Xiao Shi asked.

"No, my original Pokémon is not in my team." Xichen shook his head, and then said seriously: "Whether it is the original Pokémon or not, Bulbasaur is my important partner, there is no doubt about that!"

"That's right, let's go, Shuttlecock Flower, hit!"

"Stop it!" Xichen could tell at a glance that this shuttlecock was too light. Its speed was good, but its strength was not up to standard. This impact was like a tickle to Bulbasaur.

Sure enough, Bulbasaur hit Bulbasaur, but was bounced away instead.

"Ah? Shuttlecock flower!" Xiao Shi was stunned for a moment.

"Your shuttlecock is too light and not suitable for straight attacks." Xichen taught Xiaoshi while fighting.

"In that case, use Shadow Clone!" Xiao Shi asked Bulbasaur to use Shadow Clone, and immediately a circle of Bulbasaur's phantoms surrounded Bulbasaur.

This time the skill was used correctly, and the speed of the shuttlecock flower was indeed amazing, but unfortunately, his opponent was Xichen.

"Bulbasaur, swing your whips!" Bulbasaur stood still, stretched out two whips, and then swung them 360 degrees quickly without blind spots, destroying all the shadows in a circle and knocking the shuttlecock flower away again.

"Bulbasaur, use Parasitic Seeds!" Xiao Shi's third move was Parasitic Seeds, but they were all beaten back by Bulbasaur's Whip. Long before, Xichen had told Bulbasaur that after evolving into Bulbasaur, its movements would become slow due to its size, so the best choice would be to stand still and output damage. In order to make up for this shortcoming, Xichen had Bulbasaur train its Whip, so that Bulbasaur would not be afraid of long-range output, and could rely on the Whip for close combat.

Now Bulbasaur's whip can be said to be not only flexible but also quite powerful.

"It's almost done, Bulbasaur, use the whip to leverage the force and perform a self-sacrifice charge!" Xichen had already figured out the strength of Kamagra. He saw Bulbasaur propping up the whip on the ground behind it, and then suddenly exerted force. The resulting impact force made Bulbasaur fly towards Kamagra. Finally, a self-sacrifice charge solved Kamagra.

"Is it okay?" After the battle, Xichen stepped forward and asked with concern.

"It's just a minor injury. It will heal after a rest. But, Xichen, your Bulbasaur's vine whip is so powerful!" Xiaoshi touched his head and said, "All the special moves were broken by that vine whip."

"Because I have been letting Bulbasaur develop this characteristic." Xichen told the truth.

Afterwards, Xiaoshi invited Xichen and others to his house. When they arrived, they found out that Xiaoshi's family all had a deep affection for Grass-type Pokémon. After learning the details of the battle, Xiaoshi's father praised Xichen highly.

During the conversation, Xichen and others also learned about the Grass-type Pokémon Championship.

"I wonder if we can participate in this competition?" Xichen asked as he brought Xiaozhi forward.

"Of course you can!" Xiaoshi's father said affirmatively: "It would be great if Xichen could participate. Your competition will definitely be exciting. Xiaozhi and Xiaoshi should also do their best."

That night, in preparation for tomorrow's tournament, Xiaoshi and Jianzihua were training. When they finished and were about to go back to the house to rest, they found that Xichen and Bulbasaur were also training.

"Bulbasaur, hold on, there are still ten left."

On the small path behind the house, Bulbasaur was struggling to lift two thick logs with a vine whip. Its face was covered with sweat, and it seemed that it had persisted for a long time, but Bulbasaur did not give up. It repeated the action of lifting and putting down again and again. Xichen was also like Bulbasaur, squatting on the side with his head staring at a rock. If you look closely, you will find that Xichen's legs are trembling at this moment.

"Xichen..." Xiaoshi didn't expect that Xichen would still be training with his Pokémon at this time, and his heart seemed to be touched.

The next day, the tournament officially began.

"Dear audience, sorry to have kept you waiting! Our town's Grass-type Pokémon Championship is about to begin!" The commentator's voice has already sounded over the radio, and the competition is about to begin.

"Work hard, everyone." In the waiting area, Xichen encouraged his two companions.

"Contestant Xichen, it's almost your turn." At this time, the staff came to inform Xichen.

"Let's go, Bulbasaur." Xichen walked onto the field with Bulbasaur beside him.

"The next player to compete is Xichen, a temporary participant! I heard that he is also the champion of the Quartz Conference. I wonder what kind of game he will bring to us?"

Xichen’s first opponent has also appeared, and its Pokémon is a Smellyflower.

"Ivysaur, use Vine Whip!"

Whoosh!

When no one could see clearly, Bulbasaur's vine whip swung out quickly and hit Skank on the forehead, knocking it unconscious.

"Ah? Bulbasaur's vine whip is so powerful that it knocked Skank down with just one hit!" The commentator was stunned when he saw this scene. The audience was also stunned for a moment, and then there was an explosion of applause.

In the civil war between Grass-type Pokémon, all powders are ineffective, so Xichen will be simpler and more brutal. When fighting Pokémon of other attributes, Xichen might even let Bulbasaur set the venue first.

"Xichen... so awesome!" Xiaoshi was shocked as he watched everything that happened on the field.

"We have to work harder too, Xiaoshi!" Xiaozhi clenched his fists and said excitedly.

In the two-person match, Xiaoshi's opponent was a Venus flytrap. Although it was a tough fight, Xiaoshi still defeated his opponent with the performance of Venus flytrap.

But Xiaozhi was not so lucky. The opponent he met was a Mermaid of a high level. Her trainer was a sweet-looking young lady. Xiaozhi's Chimoyne was suppressed by the opponent throughout the game, and he was defeated bitterly.

"The trainer of this beautiful flower is Miss Masako from our town. She is the champion of the last championship and is quite popular in our town." Xiao Shi introduced the young lady on the field to Xichen.

"Oh, then it's no surprise that Xiaozhi lost." Xichen nodded. After all, Xiaozhi's Chikorita was just captured in the Johto region, and he didn't have enough experience. If it was Bulbasaur, maybe he could have fought against the opponent.

Although Xiaozhi has retired, the match between Xichen and Xiaoshi is still going on. Xichen's second opponent is a Sunflower Monster, and he is defeated by a Whip again.

Xichen and Xiaoshi won all the way and finally met in the semi-finals.

"Xichen, I saw it! You and Bulbasaur had a special training last night. You were already so strong, but you still worked so hard. I...but, I will not lose today!" Xiaoshi said to Xichen firmly.

"Let's wait and see." Xichen replied with a smile.

"The battle begins!"

"Bulbasaur, quick attack with the whip!" Xichen still let Bulbasaur demonstrate the success of his training, and the whip flew out like a bullet.

"Jianzihua, Shadow Clone!" Xiaoshi reacted quickly and quickly let Jianzihua use Shadow Clone.

"Xichen, I've been guarding against this move of yours!" Xiaoshi said confidently.

"Sweep with the vine whip!" Bulbasaur waved the vine whip, sweeping across the clones of the shuttlecock flower.

"I've thought of a countermeasure for this trick! Kame, jump up and use Parasite Seed!" Kame jumped up before being swept, and then shot Parasite Seed to attack Bulbasaur. (Here I'd like to say that in the official data, Parasite Seed is ineffective against Grass-type Pokémon, but I don't know if you still remember that in the DP chapter, when Xiaozhi fought against the EMI Gym, his Squirtle was parasitized by the Squirtle of the Vulpecula, so I'll change the setting of Parasite Seed here)

Xiao Shi was thinking that it would be difficult to stop Bulbasaur from swinging its vines like this, so it would not be able to avoid the parasitic seeds.

"Flying Leaf Blade!" However, his plan failed. Xichen directly let Bulbasaur use the Flying Leaf Blade. Countless rotating flying leaves blocked the parasitic seeds on the periphery, and then turned into blades to attack the shuttlecock flower, hitting it directly.

"Shuttlecock flower!" Xiao Shi was shocked!

"Jianzihua, is this really the limit of our strength? You and I have been working hard until now!" Xiaoshi said to Jianzihua who was already out of breath: "We will not back down! Even if the opponent is Xichen!"

Xiao Shi didn't want to give up. He didn't want his and Jianzihua's efforts to go to waste. His determination was responded to. A bright light appeared on Jianzihua's head, as dazzling and hot as the sun in the blue sky!

Finally, a powerful light wave hit Bulbasaur.

"Have you mastered the Sunshine Flame? Bulbasaur, use your whip to support the ground and jump up!" Xichen's Bulbasaur used two whips to hit the ground at the critical moment, and bounced its body into the air, thus avoiding the Sunshine Flame of Bulbasaur.

"In that case, let's use Sun Flame as well!"

Xichen ordered Bulbasaur to use Sunflame as well.

"Shuttlecock flower!"

"Change the trajectory!" Just when Sunshine Flame was about to be launched, Xichen suddenly issued the latest order. Sunshine Flame did not hit Shuttlecock Flower, but hit the ground in front of it. A big hole was immediately created on the field, but Shuttlecock Flower was unharmed.

"Xi Chen..."

"That's enough." Xichen said, "The Shuttlecock Flower can't bear this. Besides, seeing you guys like this, I don't want to attack it anymore. Xiaoshi, sometimes, it's the trainer's responsibility to give in for the sake of Pokémon."

"Xichen... I understand. I'm sorry, Jianzihua. I failed you in your efforts." Xiaoshi hugged Jianzihua and said, "Referee, I give up."

With Xiaoshi's surrender, Xichen successfully entered the finals, and his opponent was naturally that Masako.

"You are very strong, so I will fight you seriously!" Yazi looked at Xichen and said seriously. The beautiful flower leaves in front of her looked very serious.

"Come on then." Xichen said indifferently.

"Game start!"

"Melika, use Butterfly Dance!" Masako started by letting Melika dance, and Melika's special defense, special attack and speed were enhanced.

"It's no use having a sunny day. It seems that this beautiful flower does not have the chlorophyll characteristic. Then it will be easy to deal with. Parasitic seeds!" Since the opponent is strengthening, Xichen will naturally not give up such an opportunity. The parasitic seeds directly hit the beautiful flower and vines grew on its body to absorb the beautiful flower's physical strength.

"Belice, use the Petal Dance!" Belice started the Petal Dance again. Beautiful petals kept appearing around its body and it flew towards Bulbasaur non-stop.

"Don't be afraid of it, just use the sludge bomb!" Xichen said lightly. Bulbasaur is four times resistant to grass, but Mermaid is different. Its poison-type skills can restrain it. A purple sludge ball was shot out from behind Bulbasaur, while Mermaid was still dancing and couldn't dodge it at all.

boom!

The sludge bomb hit the beautiful flower, interrupting its petal dance while also causing serious damage. Unfortunately, the 30% poisoning probability of the sludge bomb was also caught up with it.

"Meilihua!" Looking at Meilihua whose face had turned purple, Masako exclaimed.

"Venom Shock!" Xichen continued to pursue the victory. Venom Shock can cause double damage to the poisoned opponent.

"Meilihua, use Leaf Storm to block it!

Fortunately, Belle used Leaf Storm in time to blow away Bulbasaur's venom attack, but Belle's special attack was also greatly reduced. At the same time, she was poisoned and parasitic seeds attacked at the same time, causing her to lose a lot of physical strength.

"No, we can't go on like this, Meilihua, use super absorption!" Masako thought that the more energy she could get back, the better, so she gave the order.

"Sunshine Flame, launch!"

"What!" Hearing Xichen's words, Yazi immediately looked up at the sky and found that it was not a sunny day. How could the other party's sunshine and flames disappear so quickly? She couldn't help but sighed, "It turns out that it was just a scare."

boom!

However, the next moment, a thick golden light wave shot out from Bulbasaur's body, directly submerging Belleza. After the light wave, Belleza had lost its ability to fight.

"Why is your Sunshine Blaze so fast!"

"Since the sludge bomb, Bulbasaur has been accumulating power." Xichen said harmlessly.

"you......"

Masako wanted to say something else, but at this moment, white light suddenly shot out from Bulbasaur's body. After the white light, a huge figure appeared on the field, and it evolved into Venusaur.

"It finally evolved." Xichen walked forward, patted Bulbasaur's body, and said with relief.

"Dana!" Bulbasaur also rubbed Xichen.

After the competition, Xichen sent the trophy back home. As for other things, such as the Leaf Stone, Xichen kept them for himself.

After bidding farewell to Xiaoshi's family, Xichen and others set out on their journey again. The next destination, Yuanzhu City, is just ahead!
