Ten minutes later, the group finally emerged from the jungle. Unlike the narrow view before, stepping out of the jungle gave everyone a sudden feeling of enlightenment!
In front of them lay a vast clearing, teeming with countless Bulbasaur!
Even more Bulbasaur were steadily making their way into the clearing.
"How magnificent..."
Misty watched countless Bulbasaur gathering in the clearing and couldn't help but exclaim in awe.
The sight of so many Bulbasaur congregating together is not something one frequently sees, or rather, it's something one rarely ever sees.
Bulbasaur, being one of Kanto's Three Starters, are quite rare in the wild. These Bulbasaur here might well be all the Bulbasaur that exist in the surrounding wilds.
On the clearing, aside from Bulbasaur, there were only more Bulbasaur, with no sight of Ivysaur or Venusaur. It seems that while this place draws the Bulbasaur species here, it only attracts Bulbasaur in their current form, not their evolved forms.
This might be the reason why Champion Ash advised not to evolve Bulbasaur. If it were to evolve, it wouldn't even have a ticket to enter here, let alone gain Xerneas's power.
Ash's Bulbasaur also started to join the larger group. Upon reaching this place, Bulbasaur's confused eyes returned to normal. It glanced around warily, as if unsure why it suddenly appeared in this place.
Where did its Trainer go?
'Don't worry, Bulbasaur, I'm right behind you. Join them for now. If anything happens, I'll be there.'
Ash's voice resonated in Bulbasaur's mind, calming its anxious heart.
Indeed, that's Ash for you. Even on the road, those mind-bending tricks had no effect on him.
Since his Trainer was there, Bulbasaur felt relieved to stay here.
After putting Bulbasaur at ease, Ash began observing the appearance of this Incredible Garden.
Though it's called a garden, it's merely a vast clearing. In the center of this clearing stood a withered tree, which had virtually nothing to do with the term "garden."
The so-called garden must be a figment of the outside world's imagination, having never witnessed the true Incredible Garden, only guessing its existence from the rampant plant growth nearby.
They were the first to witness the true face of the Incredible Garden.
As time passed, the number of arriving Bulbasaur gradually decreased until no new Bulbasaur appeared. At that moment, the withered tree in the clearing began to transform.
The withered tree slowly started to grow, with countless vibrant flowers blossoming on the giant tree. In a matter of moments, the withered tree had actually revived!
This was akin to a miracle!
Then, a massive figure majestically and imposingly emerged from within the tree.
When the figure fully revealed itself, it roared loudly to the sky!
With green skin, sturdy limbs, and a gigantic flower bud, it was Bulbasaur's final evolution—Venusaur!
The miraculous spectacle earlier seemed to be the doing of this Venusaur!
"Veeeenusaur!!"
The Venusaur let out a mighty roar, and all the Bulbasaur echoed back in response. From above, Ash's group looked on, feeling that this scene was indeed awe-inspiring!
All the Bulbasaur were responding to Venusaur, and as the responses increased, the seeds on their backs slowly began to glow!
This was a sign of imminent evolution!
Miss Joy was indeed right, in this place there was a mysterious power capable of evolving Bulbasaur. Any Bulbasaur that arrived at the Incredible Garden could evolve into Ivysaur, and this evolution brought them extraordinary benefits.
While light shone from the backs of all Bulbasaur, Ash's Bulbasaur seemed like an outlier, firmly suppressing its instinct to evolve.
Because it remembered Ash's promise that he would help it achieve perfect evolution, so even sensing that this upcoming evolution could bring greater benefits than growth evolution, Bulbasaur still resolutely suppressed the force.
Before my Trainer arrives, I will absolutely not evolve! Bulbasaur thought with a resolute expression.
Meanwhile, when the tree on the field began to bloom, Ash had already activated his Aura Power, closely monitoring the energy dynamics within it.
The tree's transformation wasn't caused by Venusaur, which had always existed within the tree and emerged as it bloomed, making it seem as if it caused the effect.
In truth, the tree itself stored a vast amount of life force, a quality even surpassing his Aura Power.
Without a doubt, that level of power was Divine Domain Level!
Is this the Life Power of Xerneas?
With Venusaur's appearance, waves of abundant life force flowed from the blooming giant tree into the bodies of all the Bulbasaur, including Ash's Bulbasaur.
As life force flowed in, all the Bulbasaur began to show signs of impending evolution, and this life force wasn't merely for evolution but was altering the essential strength within all the Bulbasaur, enhancing their essence.
