Silence... In Ash's perception, the surrounding noise seemed to drift away from him.
The din of battle, the roars of evil beasts, all disappeared.
In its place was another sound, the forest pulsating, interwoven with countless tiny voices, as if the Pokémon in the forest were expressing their current feelings.
This is Viridian Power. Compared to Aura, its power is softer; it is a gift from Viridian Forest, representing nature.
Holders of Viridian Power can communicate telepathically with surrounding Pokémon, not only perceiving the environment through the Pokémon's perspective but also possessing powerful healing abilities.
'Attention! Viridian Power acquisition complete, Benevolence of a Perfect Person - Activated!
The protagonist can control and use Viridian Power, on the condition that their words and actions must conform to the 'Benevolent Person's' principles.
If violated, power will be deducted based on the severity, or even completely stripped!'
The management spirit's prompt sounded again in his mind. While fully acquiring Viridian Power, Ash naturally also got another set of restrictions.
Viridian Power is a benevolent force, so he must always harbor a heart of benevolence and treat everything in the Pokémon world with kindness and compassion.
Well, this means there's no turning back on the path of becoming a saint... But... if being a good person means getting cheats, it's actually pretty good, right~
What's more, benevolence and being a 'holy mother' cannot be equated; Ash prides himself on being able to differentiate between them.
"Whew... It's finally over~" Letting out a long breath, Ash opened his eyes with satisfaction.
"Next... Oh no!"
Having finally completed the absorption of Viridian Power, before Ash even had time to celebrate, he was immediately horrified by the scene before him, and his Aura was even weakened by instantaneous fear!
Oak had indeed heard Ash's shout just now. He, along with Giovanni and Lance, worked together and finally managed to push the three Guzzlord to the edge of the Ultra Wormhole.
But just as they were about to succeed, the largest shiny Guzzlord actually used its pincer tongues to simultaneously entangle its two companions and devoured them alive right in front of everyone!!
Witnessing such a terrifying and bloody scene, Oak and the other two were greatly shocked, and the three Pokémon, who were about to press their advantage, froze in horror... "Professor, don't let it succeed! Quickly attack with full power!!"
A horrified Ash immediately warned the professor and the others, but he was ultimately a step too late. The shiny Guzzlord, having cannibalized its companions, erupted with two black lights, and the oppressive Aura it exuded instantly increased by more than one level!
The Beast Boost ability: when an Ultra Beast knocks out a Pokémon with an attacking move, it raises its highest regular stat (excluding HP)!
Even if the Pokémon knocked out is a teammate, the ability will still trigger!
At this moment, the destructive power of the shiny Guzzlord was absolutely incomparable to before!
The tide of battle indeed began to turn sharply. In order to push the shiny Guzzlord into the Ultra Wormhole, the three trainers re-encouraged their partners to launch an attack... But in the next turn, the three Pokémon were simultaneously slammed back by the opponent's tentacles, and Aggron's chest plate was already covered in cracks!
It was Guzzlord's Thrash!
"Yaaah!!" The Guzzlord, having landed a hit, let out an astonishing roar. Its giant mouth on its chest greedily chomped, and it ferociously pounced on the three Pokémon!
"This is... Dragon Rush?!" As an expert in handling Dragon-type Pokémon, Elite Four Lance recognized the enemy's move at a glance and knew that they had no room to retreat!
"We must stop it no matter what, or it will rush into the city!" Oak took the lead, "Kangaskhan, give it your all... Outrage!!"
"That's right... We absolutely cannot let it pass! Dragonite, we'll use Outrage too!!" Lance also resolved himself, having Dragonite unleash its reckless killing move!
"Aggron... no need to hold back, Reversal!!" Giovanni also decided to go all out. Although he had held back, not bringing out his strongest Pokémon, he had already put in all the effort he could at this moment!
"Roar!!" *3
The three Pokémon stubbornly stood up, squeezing out every last bit of strength from their bodies, and collided head-on with the attacking Guzzlord!
Rumble!!
The deafening roar, accompanied by terrifying energy, spread out in layers, instantly blowing away the surrounding land for nearly a hundred meters!
On the battlefield, which had long turned to scorched earth, the warring parties fell into a brief stalemate. However, Oak and the others were quickly overwhelmed by despair again... With the current stamina of their Pokémon, they simply couldn't withstand Guzzlord's immense strength. Kangaskhan and the other three Pokémon were pushed back repeatedly, their feet even plowing six uneven furrows in the ground!
"Is this it...?" Ash was also extremely nervous at this moment, racking his brain for a way to turn the tide.
What should I do?
Once Guzzlord breaks through Viridian Forest, even the surrounding cities will... That's right!
"Viridian... Yes, there's that too!" A flash of inspiration made Ash overjoyed. "Dragonite, take me there immediately!"
He immediately asked Dragonite to take him into battle, but the latter kept shaking its head, refusing to obey.
Professor had instructed Dragonite to Protect Ash; it couldn't take a human child into danger!
"Please, Dragonite, only I can turn the situation around now!" Ash used the Viridian Power he had just obtained, sincerely asking Dragonite, "Take me there immediately, or it will really be too late!"
"Woo..." Dragonite was stunned. At this moment, it clearly felt Ash's inner thoughts.
This four-year-old child sincerely wanted to help everyone and Protect everything here with all his might!
"Woo!!" Encouraged, Dragonite let out an impassioned roar. It circled in the air, locking onto Guzzlord, and charged forward at full speed with Ash!
Extreme Speed!!
At this moment, Ash had also highly concentrated his mind, preparing to release Viridian Power to its maximum extent!
That's right, Viridian Power is indeed gentle, but when the user's emotions are high, it can also transform into infinite assistance, helping the surrounding Pokémon break through their limits!
What Yellow in the pokémon adventures manga could do, there was no reason Ash couldn't do... as long as he gave his whole heart and soul!
(Please... it must succeed no matter what!
Although I know that even if Professor and the others are repelled here, other reinforcements will arrive... but this forest and the surrounding cities will all suffer severe damage!)
"So... it must be stopped here!!"
Buzz!!
Accompanied by Ash's surging roar, the Viridian Power in his body finally erupted to its maximum extent!
Viridian Heart, the benevolent are invincible!!
"Woo?!" Dragonite, which was charging forward, was the first to notice its own change, and then collided fiercely with Guzzlord with an even more resolute posture!
"Roar!!" *3
Immediately after, the three exhausted Pokémon also let out invigorating roars. They simultaneously felt their strength rapidly recovering... even exceeding their current limits!
As the four Pokémon converged their power, Guzzlord finally couldn't resist and began to retreat, half of its body instantly sinking into the Ultra Wormhole!
"Yuck!!"
Feeling the inescapable suction around it, Guzzlord roared unwillingly, twisting its body frantically, its venomous gaze fixed on Ash until its entire body was completely swallowed by the black hole!
However, Ash, maintaining his power release posture, met its gaze without flinching, staring intently until the ripples of Ultra Power dissipated.
With Aura Power, Ash had nothing to fear. If Guzzlord wanted revenge, he would be ready at any time!
Moreover... if it dared to invade this world again, Ash would absolutely not use this method of expulsion again, but would use all his strength to completely crush it!!
