Chapter 166
Boom!!!
Bai Feng's sudden disappearance caused the tall Leader Stantler's attack to miss. It slammed into the Ground, creating a Giant Pit, sending Soil and grass clippings flying everywhere for a moment.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Just then, Pidove made its Move. It turned into a streak of light, flying above the Stantler in the blink of an eye, and flapped its wings, shooting out a series of Wind Wheels.
But unexpectedly, the Stantler's reaction and speed were very fast. It stomped its foot forcefully, instantly jumping away from its spot, and shot an Energy Ball towards Pidove.
"Coo coo coo~~"
Pidove flexibly turned in the Air, easily dodging the Stantler's attack.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a sound of tearing Air appeared.
It turned out Lopunny had arrived. It dropped from the Air behind the Stantler and activated Double Kick. Its rapidly kicking long legs actually brought up bursts of tearing Air sounds.
This Stantler's Strength was indeed extraordinary. Its Back seemed to have Eyes, reacting without even needing to turn its Head, jumping away from its spot again.
Boom!!!
Lopunny's kick didn't hit the Stantler. Instead, it kicked a Big Tree nearby. That Big Tree, which would take several people to wrap their arms around, was just like that, forcefully kicked and broken.
Seeing this scene, the Stantler's pupils shrank. It felt like it might have kicked an iron plate.
Whoosh!
The Stantler shot another Energy Ball, but Lopunny kicked it back. The Energy Ball instantly returned the way it came, smashing towards the Stantler.
At this moment, Pidove's attack also arrived. Air Cutter turned into a Wind Wheel and slashed towards the Stantler, while Super Luck Ability activated simultaneously.
Boom!
The Stantler was hit by both its own Energy Ball and Pidove's Air Cutter at the same time. In an Instant, its Head tilted, it fell to the Ground, and lost its Combat Ability.
Battle ended!
Then Lopunny dragged the five Stantler together, quietly waiting for them to wake up.
Bai Feng felt that since they were going to act in the Forest, it would be better to find a native to lead the way. He had a lot of Experience in this Aspect.
Since the Stantler delivered themselves to the Doorway, let's find the Stantler!
Before long, the Stantler woke up one after another. As soon as they woke up, they hid behind the Leader Stantler in fear, looking at Bai Feng and Sabrina with uneasy Eyes.
"Speak, why did you confuse us!" Bai Feng asked, looking at the Stantler.
Seeing the Stantler remain silent one by one, Bai Feng threatened, "If you don't speak, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
Saying this, Bai Feng gave Lopunny a look. Lopunny understood, and with a light Jump, landed in front of a Giant Tree, raised its foot, and kicked out fiercely.
Only a "crack" sound was heard, and that Giant Tree was snapped in half.
Bai Feng narrowed his Eyes, looked at the Leader Stantler, and said, "Stantler, you wouldn't want your Companion..." The threatening look was very obvious.
The other four Stantler were already trembling with fear, looking pitifully at their Boss.
In the end, the Leader Stantler compromised for its Companion.
(●皿●) Despicable Human!
From the Stantler, Bai Feng and Sabrina learned that they were instructed by a powerful Pokémon in the Deep Forest to prevent Humans from entering the Deep Forest of Viridian Forest.
At the same Time, the Revival Herb that Bai Feng and the others were looking for was also planted by that Pokémon in Viridian Forest. A long Time ago, Revival Herb didn't grow in Viridian Forest at all.
"Take us to see that Pokémon!"
Hearing this, the Stantler hesitated a little, but then it saw Lopunny threateningly kick and break a Giant Tree again, so it could only nod and agree.
Next, Bai Feng and Sabrina recalled their two Dodrio and rode the Stantler instead.
As expected, with the Stantler leading the way, Bai Feng and their subsequent journey became much easier. They no longer had to worry about the intricate maze in the Forest.
Sabrina compared the Map in her hand and found that the Route the Stantler took roughly matched the Route Map given by Nurse Joy. It seemed the Revival Herb might indeed have been planted in the Forest by that mysterious Pokémon.
After walking for an unknown amount of Time, the Stantler suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, Stantler?" Bai Feng asked doubtfully.
The Stantler told Bai Feng that there was another powerful Pokémon blocking the way ahead, whose purpose was also to prevent Trainers from entering the Deep Forest of Viridian Forest.
"Let's go, let's take a look." Bai Feng said, patting the Stantler's neck.
Although the Stantler really didn't want to continue forward, it ultimately compromised under Lopunny's threatening gaze.
Carrying Bai Feng and Sabrina, they walked to a patch of Grass. The Stantler stopped simultaneously and kept howling at the surrounding Forest.
Swish~ swish~ swish~
At this moment, both Bai Feng and Sabrina noticed black shadows constantly flashing back and forth in the surrounding Tree Canopy.
Whoosh!
A sound of tearing Air came out. A bald Pokémon with two long legs and a brown Body appeared before Bai Feng and Sabrina.
It was the Fighting-type Hitmonlee!
"Swoosh~~"
Hitmonlee's two legs moved rapidly, looking at the two with Eyes like a tiger watching its prey.
This was the other powerful Pokémon blocking the way, as mentioned by the Stantler.
Bai Feng didn't immediately make a Move on Hitmonlee. Instead, he used a negotiating tone and said, "Hitmonlee, we want to pass through here to collect Revival Herb. We hope you can make it convenient for us."
However, Hitmonlee had no martial ethics. As soon as Bai Feng finished speaking, Hitmonlee's two legs, elastic like springs, pushed off the Ground, and its entire Body shot towards Bai Feng like a projectile.
Seeing this, Lopunny leaped forward, instantly arriving in front of Bai Feng, and quickly kicked out a leg, which collided precisely with one of Hitmonlee's legs.
The two Pokémon were instantly ready to fight. Lopunny quickly retreated two steps, while Hitmonlee also staggered after landing. Only these two Pokémon themselves knew how much force they each endured in that instant Move.
Hitmonlee's gaze towards Lopunny was full of astonishment, which then turned into appreciation and liking.
"Swoosh~ swoosh~ swoosh~" If you leave this beautiful lady here for me to be my wife, I will let you pass.
Hitmonlee stared at Lopunny for a while, then finally looked at Bai Feng and said seriously.
Bai Feng: ...
Lopunny and Hitmonlee are both Human-Like group Pokémon. From a species perspective, there is indeed a possibility of them getting together.
But Lopunny became furious and embarrassed after hearing this. Its figure instantly disappeared from its spot, and the next second it appeared beside Hitmonlee and activated Double Kick, kicking wildly at Hitmonlee.
Bang bang bang!!!
Lopunny's leg kicked out wildly, turning into afterimages attacking Hitmonlee. Hitmonlee put its arms up in front to defend, but Lopunny's attacks were too dense, and it could only retreat helplessly.
Boom!
Finally, Hitmonlee was kicked flying by Lopunny, crashing into a Big Tree not far behind it, breaking the Big Tree in half.
Lopunny used the Jump Kick Move, jumping high into the Air. Its two long ears flashed with scorching Flame, and it smashed fiercely towards the Hitmonlee Below.
After seeing this scene, Hitmonlee was scared out of its wits. It quickly used its excellent jumping ability to jump away from its spot, shouting in its Heart: This female rabbit is too exciting!
Boom!!!
Lopunny's fists (ears) slammed into the Ground, causing the Ground to crack into spiderweb-like Patterns, accompanied by large patches of burnt marks.
Seeing Hitmonlee being beaten and running around by Lopunny, the Stantler were all dumbfounded. The Hitmonlee in their impression was clearly a very powerful Pokémon, but how... how... was it a bit weak...
After missing a hit, Lopunny didn't give up. It used the Jump Kick Move again to jump into the Air, and smashed its two long ears covered in Flame towards Hitmonlee again.
Seeing this, Hitmonlee placed its hands in front of its chest, condensed a blue Energy bullet, and shot it towards Lopunny.
Lopunny was seen turning in the Air, neatly kicking the Aura Sphere back with its foot, smashing it fiercely onto Hitmonlee's face. At the same Time, Flame Punch also smashed over again without restraint.
Boom!!!
Hitmonlee was slammed to the Ground. The Earth beneath it was cracked by the force of Lopunny's fists.
"Hoo~~"
Lopunny retracted its ears, let out a long sigh of relief, and kicked the unconscious Hitmonlee with its foot, returning to Bai Feng's side with satisfaction.
Seeing Lopunny approach, the Stantler all subconsciously took a few steps back.
Too... too terrifying!
Although Lopunny beat Hitmonlee a bit hard, it didn't actually attack its vital points, so Hitmonlee slowly woke up not long after. However, its gaze towards Lopunny became even more blatant.
Unexpectedly, this Hitmonlee was an M. There really are all kinds of Pokémon!
The unscrupulous Bai Feng released Heliolisk at this moment.
Seeing Heliolisk, Lopunny was overjoyed. It walked to Heliolisk's side with light steps and shyly kissed Heliolisk on the face.
(==)
Heliolisk also kissed Lopunny's cheek, its face completely red.
Adding insult to injury!
Hitmonlee, who saw this scene, was instantly petrified. Even when Bai Feng and the others passed by it, it didn't have any reaction.
To go to the Deep Forest of Viridian Forest, the Pokémon blocking the way that Bai Feng and the others would encounter were not just Stantler and Hitmonlee. Look, appearing before them again was a Tangrowth.
Compared to the previous Stantler and Hitmonlee, this Tangrowth's Strength was much more terrifying. Even with Lopunny, Heliolisk, Pidove, Alakazam, and Natu, these five Pokémon, simultaneously attacking the Tangrowth, it still handled them with ease.
Vines belonging to the Tangrowth were seen extending everywhere in the Forest. Pidove and Natu were simultaneously firmly trapped by the Vines, letting out painful cries.
"Pidove!"
"Natu!"
Bai Feng and Sabrina exclaimed simultaneously, immediately about to use their Psychic Power to rescue Pidove and Natu.
However, just then, a series of pleasant "rustling" sounds suddenly came from the Forest, as if from a distant Time and space. The Time of the entire Forest seemed to stop for an Instant.
After hearing this sound, the Tangrowth stopped all its offensives. Not only did it release Pidove and Natu, but it also retracted the countless Vines it had extended.
Bai Feng saw transparent ripples suddenly appearing in the space in front of him, spreading out like ripples in Water.
The next second, an intellectual and elegant Pokémon walked out from the ripples.
A Gardevoir.
Gardevoir was seen waving its hand at the Tangrowth, and that Tangrowth respectfully retreated back into the Forest.
Seeing Gardevoir turn its Head to look at him, Bai Feng cautiously took two steps back, while the Stantler beside him immediately prostrated themselves on the Ground, their attitude extremely respectful.
It was clear that this Gardevoir was the mysterious Pokémon mentioned by the Stantler, the one that didn't allow Strangers to enter or leave the Deep Forest of Viridian Forest freely.
Although Bai Feng had already learned from the Stantler that this Pokémon was very powerful, he didn't expect it to be powerful to this extent.
The terrifying aura emanating from its Body was something Bai Feng had only felt from Milotic, no... it was even slightly stronger than Milotic.
"Human, you have finally arrived. I have been waiting for you for a long Time!"
Gardevoir suddenly spoke, speaking the Language of Humans, but what it said made Bai Feng confused.
"Huh~ you know it?" Sabrina quietly tugged at Bai Feng's sleeve and asked.
As an Esper, Sabrina could also sense the terrifying Pressure emanating from Gardevoir's Body.
Seeing Bai Feng's confused expression, Gardevoir smiled again and said, "Aren't you here to find me? Are you here to collect Revival Herb?"
Bai Feng hesitated for an Instant, but finally nodded gently.
"That's right, come with me!"
Gardevoir was seen waving its hand casually, and Bai Feng, Sabrina, and their Pokémon all disappeared from their spots in an Instant.
After a moment of dizziness, Bai Feng and Sabrina found themselves at the Doorway of a Wooden Cabin, while Gardevoir waved to them from inside the Room.
"Come in quickly!"
Bai Feng and Sabrina exchanged glances, and finally lifted their feet and walked into the House.
With such a powerful Gardevoir, if it really wanted to do something to them, they wouldn't be able to resist, so it was better to just obey.
Bai Feng briefly looked around at the Situation in the Room and found that it was almost no different from a place where ordinary Humans lived. There were Tables, Chairs, Cabinets, Boxes, etc., and even a Bed and a Blanket.
"Please sit, would you like some Juice?" Gardevoir said to the two, pointing at the Tables and Chairs in the middle of the House.
The two obediently sat down on the Chairs. Then they saw Gardevoir use Psychic Power to squeeze several Pecha Berry into Juice. It also poured Miltank Milk and Beedrill Honey into the Berry Juice.
"Drink up, it's very delicious." Placing the two cups of Juice on the Table in front of Bai Feng and Sabrina, Gardevoir smiled playfully, "This Juice is squeezed from S-Grade Berry, you generally can't drink it outside."
Hearing this, Bai Feng almost spilled the Juice in his hand. Sabrina's reaction was similar.
"Hehehe~"
Seeing Bai Feng and Sabrina's reactions, Gardevoir was amused and chuckled, covering its mouth.
Then it took out more Berry and distributed them to Bai Feng and Sabrina's Pokémon. They all seemed to be S-Grade Berry.
Bai Feng gently sipped the Juice in his hand and instantly felt the abundant Energy contained within!
It really was squeezed from S-Grade Berry!
Bai Feng exclaimed in his Heart. Although he had never encountered S-Grade Berry, this Energy clearly far surpassed A-Grade Berry, so it was Inevitably S-Grade Berry.
It was just that the Taste was a bit worse than the Berry Bai Feng cultivated himself.
The Pokémon also held their Berry and ate with relish.
