Chapter 392: Bulbasaur's Heaven-Defying Power
Undoubtedly, Ash's Charizard had lost the ability to battle.
This, one could only say, was expected. Hikaru just hadn't anticipated that Ash's Charizard would be so stubborn.
If it had fought normally, although it would still have lost to his own Charizard, it wouldn't have been defeated so easily. It was just that in the clash of energy, it tried to compete in stamina against Charizard (Hikaru's).
This wasn't lighting a lantern in a toilet—courting disaster...
"Damn it, so close! Charizard, you worked hard."
Despite Charizard not obeying commands, Ash still found excuses for its defeat.
Then, looking at the still energetic Charizard in the sky, he pondered for a moment and finally summoned a new Pokémon: "Go, Bulbasaur!"
As soon as these words were spoken, amplified by Rotom's speakers, everyone in the audience heard them clearly.
But all their expressions froze.
Even the contestants in their seating area were stunned.
Bulbasaur?
You f***ing...
Are you sure it's Bulbasaur, and not Venusaur?
This is the Youth League, not some small school competition!
"No way, buddy! Even if you're a master of reverse-type matchups, this isn't how you do it!"
"Bulbasaur? Ash, I originally thought you were just reckless, I didn't expect this...."
"Even if he sent out a Venusaur, it probably couldn't beat Hikaru's Charizard! And he's sending out a Bulbasaur..."
But after seeing that what Ash sent out was indeed a four-legged creature about the size of a frog, the entire audience fell silent.
The probability of seeing a first-stage Pokémon in the Youth League was no less than seeing a Pokémon attack its trainer.
One could say, in this year's Youth League, they had seen all sorts of strange things.
On the other side, Hikaru was also a bit dazed.
Bulbasaur...
Seriously?
However, after using [Eye of Scrutiny] to observe its aura, his interest was slightly piqued.
[Pokémon: Bulbasaur]
[Ability: Chlorophyll]
[Gender: Male]
[Talent: ???]
[Level: 46]
[Moves: Tackle, Growl, Leech Seed, Poison Powder, Sleep Powder, Take Down, Razor Leaf...]
[Description: Due to some irresistible factor, this Pokémon cannot evolve, but its strength can steadily increase.]
A level 46 Bulbasaur, not holding an Everstone, but unable to evolve due to some irresistible factor.
This completely convinced Hikaru that the Ash before him was definitely not as simple as he seemed.
"Bulbasaur, I'm counting on you!"
Looking at the flying Charizard opposite him,
Ash's face was full of confidence, "Type matchups don't mean everything! As long as my Pokémon and I are together, we can definitely defeat you! Hikaru!"
"Saur, saur!"
The Bulbasaur below him also cried out at the Charizard in the sky, seeming to echo its trainer's words.
Hikaru: "..."
Hikaru was silent for a moment, then a hint of astonishment appeared on his face.
Because, after that sentence, Bulbasaur's internal energy level actually began to rise slightly. Although the increase wasn't large, it was continuously rising!
This made Hikaru involuntarily turn his gaze to Ash and activate his Eye of Scrutiny.
He had always disliked using this entry on people, but it had to be said, humans, after being assimilated with Pokémon in this world, were also a kind of Pokémon in a way.
And as long as it was a Pokémon, [Eye of Scrutiny] would work.
[Child of Destiny: Xiao Zhi]
[Abilities: Stronger Against the Strong (Gold), Rejuvenating Roar (Gold), Indestructible Body (Gold), Emotional Amplification (Gold), Event Inspirer (Trouble Follows Him)...]
[Flaws: Weaker Against the Weak, ...]
Looking at this information, Hikaru fell into deep thought.
Were those abilities Entries?
He subconsciously thought so.
But seeing over a dozen gold entries, and a host of purple ones, Hikaru deeply suspected that God was practically force-feeding him luck.
In his leisure time, Hikaru had also looked in the mirror and used [Eye of Scrutiny] on himself.
But the information he obtained, apart from some entries he himself carried.
Was just a single purple ability.
[Person from Another World: As a person from another world, receives a soul blessing. Each time a similar being is investigated, one's soul will assimilate with theirs, nullifying one soul blessing. At the same time, investigating too many similar beings will completely nullify this blessing.]
It was precisely because of this that Hikaru had never used [Eye of Scrutiny] on humans.
Because this soul blessing sounded pretty awesome.
In fact, it was.
Later, he had Kirlia use Hypnosis on him, but the effect was minimal; he only felt a little drowsy.
Unless it was someone he really couldn't resist investigating.
Like Ash before him now.
The match had begun.
"Phew..."
Hikaru let out a long breath. Looking at the eager Bulbasaur, which had already been boosted to level 50, felt truly heaven-defying.
"Bulbasaur, Razor Leaf!"
Ash over there had already given the command.
And Bulbasaur, unlike the undisciplined Charizard, released Razor Leaf the moment the command was given.
Dozens of rapidly spinning leaves transformed into sharp flying blades.
The Charizard in the sky was still wondering why the opposing trainer would call out such a small thing like Bulbasaur.
Having followed Hikaru for so long, and being in the training house every day, it naturally knew what kind of Pokémon Bulbasaur was.
Moreover,
After training with Lucario in Aura for a while, although it couldn't be as sensitive as a frog, it still had some level of perception.
This Bulbasaur, its strength was about the same as the Bulbasaur in their training house...
How strong could this Razor Leaf be?
Thinking this, it casually spat out some fire, not even a proper move, to cover them.
But the next second, Hikaru's Aura resonated in its mind, "Dodge quickly!"
Charizard was stunned. Although it didn't know why, its instinct made it choose to obey Hikaru's command.
But things didn't go as planned.
Covered by the flames, it couldn't see the Razor Leaves spinning behind the fire.
And what it had just considered simple Razor Leaves.
Now broke through the flame blockade and rapidly flew towards it.
Despite its attempt to dodge, due to its initial carelessness, several leaves still grazed Charizard's thigh, waist, and wing.
And Charizard's body, long tempered by Fighting-type Pokémon,
At this moment, was easily cut open, orange-red blood flowing out.
"Roar?"
The sudden pain made Charizard somewhat astonished.
It looked at the Bulbasaur below, its eyes finally becoming serious.
"Truly heaven-defying abilities..."
Watching this scene, Hikaru let out a sigh of emotion...
