Chapter 165: The Beautiful Figure in the Deep Forest
Seeing the Primarina by Bai Feng's feet, Professor Oak instantly understood everything. He looked at Bai Feng in astonishment and pointed at the Bubbles in the air, saying:
"You did all this?"
Bai Feng nodded. "Yes, when Gym Leader Sabrina and I arrived, we happened to see you were in trouble, so I had Primarina step in. I hope we didn't cause any delay?"
"No, no." Professor Oak waved his hands repeatedly. "You were a great help!" Then he looked at Bai Feng with admiration. "No wonder you so decisively agreed to come and help Gym Leader Sabrina. It turns out your Strength is this great."
Sabrina also said from the side, "He fooled me too. His Strength is even greater than mine!"
"Hahaha..." Professor Oak laughed heartily. "Not only is he strong, but he's also very smart. Without Bai Feng, this capture wouldn't have been so easy! His future is boundless, boundless!"
Professor Oak patted Bai Feng's shoulder.
"You're too kind, Professor. I still have a long way to go!" Bai Feng said modestly.
"No, no, what I said is the truth. Just based on the Strength that Primarina just showed, you are already a Top-tier expert among the younger generation!"
When Teacher Kurita arrived, she heard Professor Oak's evaluation of Bai Feng, which made her even more convinced of the idea of bringing Bai Feng into the Battle Department.
Then Bai Feng had Primarina release everyone and all the Pokémon trapped in the Bubbles.
However, those Team Rocket members had all fainted inside the Bubbles.
Primarina could control the Bubbles to produce intense Vibration, which could directly knock out the people inside.
There was just one thing: the Bodies of the Pokémon captured in Dusk Balls had suffered immense damage. This wasn't just because they were abused by the Team Rocket members, but also because the Dusk Balls themselves had significant Defects.
Although they could control Pokémon and even stimulate them to have greater Combat Power, it was all done by consuming the Pokémon's Life Force.
Therefore, most of the rescued Pokémon were extremely weak.
As the Dusk Balls were destroyed one by one, the Pokémon finally regained their Freedom and were sent to the Pokémon Center for treatment.
Although the Pokémon Center was a mess due to the Ghost-type Pokémon, the treatment Equipment was fine, so Nurse Joy simply tidied up a bit and started working.
Because the Quantity of Pokémon brought in was too large and the Pokémon Center was short-handed, Bai Feng and some of the League rescue team Members had to stay and help, while the others went with Professor Oak to escort the prisoners.
The Gengar that had battled Bai Feng before and its companions also came to help. They solemnly expressed their gratitude to Bai Feng and Sabrina and also apologized to her for injuring her.
If Bai Feng and Sabrina hadn't helped, their companions in Pokemon Tower wouldn't have been rescued.
Sabrina knew that Gengar and the others hadn't done it intentionally. They were worried about their captured companions, were being framed by others, and had nowhere to turn for help. It was no wonder they were anxious and caused a misunderstanding.
So Sabrina forgave them.
Although Sabrina's Personality was a bit awkward, she wasn't unreasonable. She even had a strong sense of justice and Goodness, completely different from the online evaluations of her.
Sure enough, some things on the internet can't be trusted!
Among the rescued Pokémon, the Marowak was the most severely injured. Although Nurse Joy was putting in a lot of Effort to treat it, it was still not out of danger.
In the Intensive Care Unit, the Marowak lay quietly on the Bed, hooked up to various Equipment, its breathing very weak.
A Cubone sadly lay outside the ward, its Eyes staring unblinkingly at the Marowak inside.
It was Marowak's child. Its mother was captured by Team Rocket because she was protecting it, so now it felt very guilty.
Nurse Joy stood not far away, looking at the sad Cubone, feeling helpless and powerless. She was a Pokémon Doctor, yet she was unable to do anything about the current Situation.
"Is Marowak's Situation very bad?" Bai Feng walked over and asked.
"It's very bad. It's unknown if it will pull through," Nurse Joy said in a low voice. "Unless..."
"Unless what?" Bai Feng asked.
"Unless there's a Revival Herb!" Nurse Joy said. "A Revival Herb can heal all of a Pokémon's Injuries. With it, Marowak can recover."
"Where can I get a Revival Herb? I'll go find it!" Just then, Sabrina suddenly appeared before them and said with a firm tone.
"But..." Nurse Joy looked troubled.
"I have some responsibility for them ending up like this. If I hadn't been careless in my investigation and failed to discover Team Rocket's scheme sooner, Marowak might not have been so severely injured," Sabrina said guiltily.
Nurse Joy quickly comforted her. "How can this be your fault? No one could have imagined that Team Rocket would want to use Pokemon Tower as a place to raise Pokémon!"
"Nurse Joy, please tell me. I will definitely find the Revival Herb," Sabrina said with a firm tone.
"Well..." Nurse Joy hesitated. "There's only one Place in our Kanto Region where Revival Herb can be found, and that's the Deep Forest of Viridian Forest. But it's very dangerous in there, inhabited by many powerful Pokémon."
Sabrina shook her head. "It's okay, I'm not afraid. I can use Psychic. Even if I can't win, escaping is definitely not a Problem. I can bring back the Revival Herb!"
Seeing that Sabrina had said this, Nurse Joy had no choice but to say, "Alright then, I'll give you a Map. It Marks the Place where Revival Herb grows. This Map was recorded by my grandfather when he was having trouble in Viridian Forest back then. I don't know if it's still Accurate now."
Before long, Nurse Joy returned with a simple Map and handed it to Sabrina.
Sabrina took the Map and turned to leave. Seeing this, Bai Feng called out to her, "How about... I go with you?"
"But aren't you supposed to attend the Summer Camp?" Sabrina asked.
"I'll go greet the Teacher?" Bai Feng said hesitantly.
"Then hurry!" Sabrina said quickly.
Actually, she was still a bit nervous. After all, she had never been to Viridian Forest. But if Bai Feng could go with her, she would feel much more at ease, especially since Bai Feng's Strength was greater than hers.
"Then wait for me!"
Soon, Bai Feng found Teacher Kurita, who was taking care of the injured Pokémon, and told her about Marowak. After hesitating for a moment, she agreed to Bai Feng's Request and said she would greet Professor Oak on his behalf.
If she didn't still have children to look after, she actually wanted to go with Bai Feng, but she couldn't abandon the other children.
So Bai Feng and Sabrina set off together.
By this time, the Sky was already bright. The bright Sunshine of the morning sprinkled onto the Earth, making Lavender Town finally look less gloomy.
As soon as the two walked out of the Pokémon Center, Gengar and its companions chased after them.
"Gengar~ Gengar~" Are you leaving?
Bai Feng turned his head and asked, "Yes, is there something you need?"
"Gengar~ Gengar~ Gengar~" Nothing, we just wanted to thank you again, and please take care.
Bai Feng waved his hand. "Goodbye, you take care too!"
Just like that, after bidding farewell to Gengar and the others, Bai Feng and Sabrina left Lavender Town together.
Viridian Forest is the largest primeval Forest in the Kanto Region, located between Viridian City and Pewter City. It is inhabited by a large Quantity of Bug-type Pokemon, and is therefore called the paradise of Bug-type Pokemon.
The Environment there is special, and the Region is unique. The dense and deep Forest forms a natural maze, making it very easy for people to get lost inside.
Because of this characteristic, Trainers who venture into Viridian Forest often only dare to operate on the outskirts and do not dare to enter the Deep Forest.
Another point is that Viridian Forest is much closer to Pallet Town than Lavender Town is to Pallet Town. Once he gathers the Revival Herb, he can directly return to Pallet Town from Viridian Forest.
The two once again rode the Dodrio they had taken when coming to Lavender Town, galloping towards Viridian Forest, facing the morning sun.
Having been Busy all night without sleep, Bai Feng was actually a bit tired, so he Meditated while riding on Dodrio's back. This allowed his Spirit to become more energetic.
Sabrina did the same.
In the evening, the two successfully arrived at the outskirts of Viridian Forest.
"Let's rest outside for the night today and go in tomorrow!" Bai Feng suggested.
Sabrina knew that going deep into the Forest at night was a very dangerous Matter, so she nodded and agreed.
The two chose a Location that was convenient for getting Water but not too close to the Water Source to set up their Tent.
Dinner was made by Buneary. Chansey provided one of its own Eggs, and a pot of Omelette Rice was ready.
Chansey can produce one Egg every day. This Egg is not laid by it, but is created by the Egg Laying Skill.
Tasting Buneary's Craftsmanship, Sabrina exclaimed, "So this is how happy your daily life is? Buneary's cooking is really delicious."
"It's alright. You get used to it after eating it for a while."
Bai Feng showed off in a subtle way, and then received envious and jealous looks from Sabrina and a death glare from Buneary.
Buneary: My cooking is just "alright"? Then don't eat it next time!
Receiving Buneary's look, Bai Feng immediately became timid and dared not speak.
Fortunately, Buneary still gave Bai Feng face in front of outsiders. Besides glaring at him, it didn't say anything else.
The next day, Bai Feng woke up to the Singing Voice of Primarina. He walked out of the Tent and saw Primarina practicing its Voice near a Rock not far away.
A large Quantity of Pidgey, Weedle, Oddish, and other Pokémon attracted by its Singing Voice had gathered around, looking just like a small concert.
The tune Primarina used every day to train its Voice was the Ancient Song learned from Milotic.
Just then, Sabrina also walked out of the Tent, rubbing her Eyes. "What song is Primarina singing? Why do I feel there's a magical Power in its Singing Voice?"
Bai Feng vaguely explained, "It's a nameless Song inherited from ancient times. Its specific origin is untraceable."
"It's very pleasant to hear!" Sabrina nodded and didn't ask further.
As Primarina's Song ended, the Pokémon gathered around it returned to the Forest one after another.
After eating Breakfast, the two continued their journey on Dodrio. Bai Feng left Buneary and Speckled Pigeon outside.
Buneary could be responsible for protecting them, while Speckled Pigeon could scout the surrounding Situation from the Air.
Sabrina also released the Alakazam she had used in the previous battle and a Natu capable of Flying.
The path on the outskirts of Viridian Forest was actually quite easy to walk, except that occasionally a Weedle would suddenly fall from a Tree, either landing on your head or lying on your Body, which was quite annoying.
As the two gradually went deeper into the Forest, the surrounding light began to dim, and the overlapping tree canopy blocked out the entire Sky.
As they walked, Sabrina suddenly said, "Hmm? Are we lost? I feel like we've already walked through this Place just now."
"I think I have that feeling too," Bai Feng said after looking around. "Let's make a Mark!"
Saying this, he jumped down from Dodrio, took out a Knife from his Backpack, and carved a Mark on the Tree closest to him.
"Alright, let's keep walking forward!"
So the two continued forward, but as they walked, they returned to the original spot. Now they could be Sure it wasn't a mistaken feeling; the Mark they had carved earlier was still clearly visible on the Tree.
"Coo coo coo!!!"
Just then, Speckled Pigeon suddenly let out an alert Growl. It rapidly vibrated its Wings, and wind blades controlled by it shot towards a Bush not far away.
Swish swish swish!!!
The Bush was cut through, revealing the Pokémon hidden inside: four Stantler.
No wonder they were wandering back and forth in the Forest. It turned out they had fallen for Stantler's Illusion.
The curvature of Stantler's Horns can subtly change the surrounding Air flow, unconsciously creating a magical space that causes those within it to gradually lose direction.
Seeing their Location exposed, the Stantler turned and ran.
But Bai Feng and Sabrina wouldn't let them succeed.
Buneary leaped up and easily landed in front of two Stantler. The Double Kick Move was activated. Its slender thighs kicked out rapidly, turning into a series of afterimages, and in an Instant, it kicked the two Stantler away.
Sabrina's Alakazam used Teleport, appearing in front of the other two Stantler in the blink of an eye. It crossed its two spoons in front of itself, purple light flashing in its Eyes, and Psychic was activated. The two Stantler were directly controlled by Psychic and flung away, knocking down two Big Trees.
Just like that, the four Stantler lost the ability to battle.
However, just when Bai Feng and Sabrina thought all the Stantler had been dealt with, suddenly from another Bush, a taller, more muscular Stantler rushed out. Its entire Body emitted white light, and it used the Tackle Move to attack Bai Feng.
Subconsciously, Bai Feng used Teleport, disappearing from the original spot along with the Dodrio beneath him.
——————
In the Deep Forest of Viridian Forest, there is a Wooden Cabin. The Wooden Cabin is surrounded by various kinds of Fruit Trees, all laden with fruit.
In addition, there is a beautiful Flower Field in front of the Wooden Cabin. Above the Flower Field, Butterfree are fluttering and Beedrill are diligently collecting nectar, making it very lively.
Just then, a beautiful figure lazily walked out of the Wooden Cabin, even yawning, as if it had just woken up.
It turned out to be a Gardevoir.
But don't misunderstand, although this Gardevoir was beautiful, it was male.
The Gardevoir leisurely walked to the front of the Flower Field. First, it scooped out a ladle of Water from the Water Tank with a Water Ladle and sprinkled it towards the Flower Field. Then, it gently waved its hand, and a green light was instantly sprinkled towards the Flower Field. For a moment, all the Flowers competed to bloom.
Just then, in the Forest, at the Instant Bai Feng used Teleport, this Gardevoir suddenly raised its head and looked towards that direction.
