Pokémon: The Journey of Ordinary People

The battle had been going on for over half an hour. Thanks to Zhang Yu's various healing and power-enhancing potions, combined with the abilities of the Vileplume and the Mega-evolved Pidgeot, the battle was progressing smoothly.

Finally, they managed to stabilize their position amidst the onslaught of a group of Pokémon.

"Da... Fu..."

"Compare……"

Even so, under the intense battle, the condition of both Vileplume and Super Pidgeot continued to decline.

Of course, on the other hand, the black aura on the corrupted Pokémon has dissipated considerably, and their aggressiveness has decreased significantly.

"Phew... thankfully we arrived in time, and I brought enough medicine with me, otherwise relying solely on the Queen of the Night and the Pidgeot would definitely not have been enough."

Zhang Yu wasn't having an easy time either. Luckily, he didn't bring many Pokémon; he only brought five veteran Pokémon and the Ultra Beast Celesteela.

Aside from Vileplume and Pidgeot, the Pokémon shrouded in black aura include Beedrill, Kingdra, Burrowstrike, and Celesteela.

Perhaps because of the contamination, Kaguya Tetsuka was the first to regain consciousness, and Zhang Yu took the opportunity to recall her to the Ultimate Sphere.

This guy's attack was outrageous; it almost completely destroyed the surrounding forest. If it were to attack Beedrill and the like, it would be in grave danger, and Zhang Yu would have nowhere to turn in the end.

"Niu Da! Wake up!"

"Queen of the Flower, seize the opportunity, and trip up Niu Da with a grass knot!"

"Pidgeotto, use Air Blade to cover Vileplume!"

In an instant, Zhang Yu had made a judgment and calmly gave instructions.

As soon as the words were spoken, the two Pokémon started moving one after the other.

"Dafu!"

With a sudden flick of her arm, the two green rays twisted together, forming a thick rope that quickly coiled around Niu Da's feet.

Just as the knotted grass was about to touch Niu Da's leg, a black and yellow figure flashed by and cleaved the knotted grass in two.

Beedrill, like a low-flying combat aircraft, whistled through the air to clear a path for the raging Tauren.

shhh-

At this moment, Mega Pidgeot's Air Blade also cut through the air, interrupting Beedrill's attack.

"Dafu!"

boom--

Niu Da tried to jump up to dodge the attack, but Ba Wang Hua's use of skills was also masterful. The grass knot seemed to have a life of its own, changing direction and tightly binding Niu Da's legs.

"Perfect opportunity! Overlord Flower! Use Petal Dance to shred the dark energy, then follow up with Sleep Powder!"

Although Zhang Yu felt sorry for Niu Da, given the current situation, he had no choice but to launch a ruthless attack.

But at that moment, Kingdra, who had been locked in combat with Mega Pidgeot, suddenly erupted in a cloud of black energy.

Then, one large hole after another appeared in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, several enormous energy meteorites poured out.

"Dragon Star Group!"

"Phidden Eagle, get out of there quickly!"

Zhang Yu was startled. The power of the Dragon Star Cluster, amplified several times by the black energy, meant that if he were hit, the consequences would be unimaginable.

boom--

Dozens of meteorites covered the sky above Zhang Yu's head, falling rapidly like rain.

The meteorite magnified in Zhang Yu's eyes. Just at this critical moment, the sharp voice of the Overlord Flower rang out, and like a green lightning bolt, it shielded Zhang Yu behind it.

"Dafu!!!"

A devastating grass-type energy emanated from the Queen of the Seas, and leaves formed from this energy swirled and created a massive protective shield around it.

Under the deliberate guidance of the King Thorn Dragon, the massive meteorite relentlessly bombarded the Leaf Storm Shield, but it was quickly shredded by the raging leaves, turning into powder and dissipating in the wind.

However, the sheer number of meteorites, coupled with the mixture of dragon energy and dark mist, greatly amplified the power of the Dragon Star Cluster, rapidly depleting the energy of the Leaf Storm.

"Dafu..."

The vixen's voice trembled slightly, but she still turned her head slightly, giving Zhang Yu a reassuring smile.

It's been a companion to its trainer since childhood! Even though Zhang Yu has more and more Pokémon, Vileplume has never forgotten its original promise to protect Zhang Yu!

"The Queen of Flowers..."

Zhang Yu stared blankly at the giant lily in front of her, and for some reason, many images flashed through her mind.

Yes, the long journey had made him almost forget that Vileplume wasn't just any Pokémon; it was his first partner.

"Oh right! I almost forgot, there's also this!"

A thought flashed through Zhang Yu's mind, and he took out a bottle of honey from his spatial bracelet.

The Queen of the Night's eyes lit up. Without needing to say anything, she understood Zhang Yu's idea. After quickly replenishing her energy, the Queen of the Night's ...

"It's now!"

Zhang Yu raised her arm, and the Z-bracelet on her wrist emitted a dazzling array of colorful light. At the same time, the petals atop the Tyrant Flower resonated and shimmered, a powerful energy gathering within them.

"Z-Move! Radiant Flower Bloom!"

With Zhang Yu's roar, the Overlord Flower released all the energy it had accumulated in one go.

The gray-white ground was instantly covered with colorful energy petals, and the gradually shrinking leaf storm suddenly burst into a dazzling green light.

"This is……"

Zhang Yu's eyes widened. The Vileplume had actually fused its Z-Move and Leaf Storm together! It seemed the combined power of these two moves was more than just the sum of its parts.

"Da! Fu!"

A slightly shrill cry pulled Zhang Yu back to reality. The Queen of the Night raised her hands above her head, and a ball of green energy continuously expanded between them.

Finally, as if reaching its limit, it shattered with a deafening roar. Immediately afterwards, the leaf storm that had acted as a protective shield also erupted and splashed outwards.

In an instant, green leaves danced in the air, powerful grass-based energy raged, and the meteorites in the sky, like first snow meeting the blazing sun, rapidly melted under the cutting force of the flying leaves.

"Da... Fu!"

The Vileplume roared, unleashing a storm of leaves that swept towards the three Pokémon corrupted by the black mist.

"Hey...hoo..."

The flying leaf was as swift as lightning; in the blink of an eye, Kingdra was knocked down, its black aura dissipating completely. It was then retrieved by Zhang Yu using a Poké Ball while still in mid-air.

Super Armored Rhinoceros, also known as Niu Da, attempted to condense a stone wall to withstand the upgraded Leaf Storm under the control of the black energy. However, the stone wall turned to dust in no time, and Niu Da's eyes turned into circles.

Only Beedrill managed to dodge the incoming leaf attacks thanks to its speed advantage, but Vileplume merely squinted, its leaf storm merging and splitting into hundreds of light blades, forming a massive, inescapable net of defense.

Finally, after the black mist controlled the Beedrill to let out a resentful roar, the battle came to an end.

"Da... Fu..."

After doing all this, the "Overlord Flower" finally breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Zhang Yu, panting heavily.

This startled Zhang Yu. After a careful examination, she discovered that the Queen of the Night was simply too tired and had fallen asleep.

"Compare--"

Pidgeot also reverted to its Mega Evolution form and flew back to Zhang Yu's side. The terrifying leaf storm had left a deep impression on its small head.

[As expected of the tough, bossy leader...]

Pidgeot looked at the Vega with sparkling eyes.

As Zhang Yu stroked her, the night-blooming cereus revealed a sweet smile in her sleep.

"Dafu~"

[Hehe, it's me, Huahua, protecting Ayu~]
