In the midst of snow and wind, Bulbasaur directly aimed its bud at the sky, releasing a beam of white light that was akin to the gathering of Solar Flame.
Boom!!!
The beam pierced through the blizzard, melting countless pieces of hail. This wasn't Solar Flame, but rather the Sunny Day Move. As soon as the beam shot into the sky by Bulbasaur, a fierce sun quickly formed. Although the heat radiating from the fierce sun didn't completely suppress the snowy weather, it significantly weakened the power of Ice-based Spells.
"Da na!!!"
After that, Bulbasaur went on the offensive, stepping forward as the snow-covered ground burst into life, with countless buds breaking through the soil to form a Grass Field. Bulbasaur itself took root in the earth, drawing upon the Power of Nature, swallowing the condensed Energy Ball, and entered Nature's Recursion Mode.
Under Nature's Recursion Mode, Bulbasaur's body grew rapidly, but it also began to suffer intense damage. Photosynthesis and Rooting played their part in repair, but unfortunately, they couldn't completely mend the damage.
However, this was exactly the effect Fang Yuan and his team wanted. With the damage, Bulbasaur actively entered Overgrow Mode, with green luminescence entwining Bulbasaur in just a breath or two.
At this moment, its aura very nearly approached Master Level.
Using an incomplete Nature's Recursion Mode to strengthen itself and then activating the Overgrowth ability with the damage incurred during the process for double enhancement, this technique allowed Bulbasaur to reach Semi-Master Level in a short time.
In the battle against Blizzards King, who possessed the power of storm and snow, this extreme enhancement was Bulbasaur's only chance to win. It was also the Enhanced Seed Burst Tactics that Fang Yuan had recently included in Bulbasaur's curriculum.
The change in Bulbasaur naturally enraged Blizzards King, which directly blew out a stronger Ice-based Spell, Blizzard. However, having entered Nature's Recursion Mode, Bulbasaur had now gained the ability to fight against opposing attributes.
As the blizzard approached, Bulbasaur's expression remained unchanged. It hadn't panicked even when faced with Monferno's rage, so naturally, there was no fear of this storm. The previous defeat had been a mistake. This time, not only had it suppressed the snowy weather, but it had also entered its optimal state—there was no reason for it to lose.
To break through the blizzard...
Bulbasaur recalled Rocco and Fang Yuan's instruction, directly condensing a long leaf on the bud.
It was a single leaf; whether Razor Leaf or Flying Leaf Storm, they involved a certain number of sharp-edged leaves, but this time, Bulbasaur condensed only one.
This leaf was long, more resembling the blade-like leaves of large herbaceous plants like agaves rather than tree leaves, and measured 1 meter in length.
At this moment, this long leaf vibrated atop Bulbasaur's bud, absorbing all the power from Bulbasaur, faintly emitting a sword's hum.
Whether it was the nutrients from Sunny Day, from the earth, or the natural essence of plants, Bulbasaur gave it all to this flying leaf.
"Are you going to use this move?" Lately, Fang Yuan had been training Bulbasaur's self-battle awareness, merely setting up the general tactics in advance and then letting Bulbasaur freely execute. The move before them was a Combination Skill independently researched by Rocco and Bulbasaur from the Grass Star Flow Secret Manual.
The so-called Grass Star Flow Secret Manual, which Bulbasaur had utilized before in battle, involved the localized use of the Growth Move, such as individually enhancing Vine Whip or leaf blades.
After the enhancement, Vine Whip could easily pierce through giant rocks, and the leaves could effortlessly slice through steel.
Now, Bulbasaur's Razor Leaf was clearly different from the leaves of a normal Razor Leaf.
And... it wasn't just the secret technique of the Grass Star Flow; aside from the Growth move, this attack obviously incorporated Sword Dance as well.
The sword-like leaves atop Bulbasaur's bud were dancing like swords, accumulating power.
As the Blizzard finally swept in, Bulbasaur at last swung its sword leaf, a combination skill of Nature's Recursion Mode and Overgrow state with Sword Dance, Razor Leaf, Flying Leaf Storm, and Growth, like the first streak of dawn cutting through darkness, splitting the blizzard in half in an instant, and then exploded into a powerful Hurricane, scattering the snowstorm on both sides.
The sword leaf itself then continued towards the Blizzards King, who was shivering and feeling a great threat, slashing at it.
This dazzling strike left Eevee and Rotom slightly stunned, and Fang Yuan clapped his hands, marveling at the qualitative leap in the power of the sword leaf under both Nature's Recursion and Overgrow states, wonderful indeed.
Simultaneously, with a "boom," the sword leaf struck the Blizzards King, slashing a dent in its belly and severely injuring it with one hit.
In that moment, Bulbasaur's aura was like an unsheathed sharp sword, revealing its edge. Seeing the Blizzards King that previously bullied it unable to withstand this move, it somewhat grasped the ethos of Luo Kuo's words, "A single seed can fill the sea, a blade of grass can sever the sun, moon, and stars, in a whip's sway heaven and earth are overturned."
"That'll do," Fang Yuan thought, looking forward even more to Bulbasaur's evolution into a hardened plant.
...........
After returning from training with Bulbasaur, Fang Yuan began to say goodbye to the Researchers in the Tibet Area and the Trainer in charge of the Mount Everest Secret Realm.
These people knew that Fang Yuan was leaving to prepare for the World Competition. Fu Hei and others were okay with it, understanding his decision, but the Researchers at the Fossil Institute found it harder to comprehend.
The youngest top doctor in the Fossil Domain, neglecting such a treasure of a secret location for research, and instead going off to participate in some world competition - utterly neglecting one's duties!
However, Fang Yuan felt that participating in the World Competition was also important and that it would add to his credentials as a Researcher. Possessing top-level combat power at the age of 20 was itself a sensational news hook. Whether those Researchers accepted it or not, the number of people paying attention to the World Competition and battles far outnumbered those focused on research fields. Without significant attention, how could one prove the value of research results?
Fang Yuan had no doubt that after he finished the World Competition, the whole world would be buzzing with such news...
"Shocking! The 20-year-old foreigner actually became the World Champion with this kind of nutritional supplement!"
"Recently, a foreign youngster's Gengar has evolved again. Let's see what's going on."
Undoubtedly, the World Competition was the perfect stage to prove the value of Energy Blocks, Mega Evolution, and Z-Moves. Receiving a Ron Award was not enough for Fang Yuan, after all, wasn't Dr. Oak also a top-notch Trainer before becoming famous?
