Chapter 239: Torterra Entree Forest Form

Beedrill, regardless of base stats or power, is not powerful among Pokémon. If it is a single Beedrill, there is nothing to be afraid of, but the key is that Beedrill never appears alone. Often when you see one, a large group has already appeared.

But the green Beedrill in front of him is different. It ran out of the dream rift, and at the same time, its pre-evolution forms "Kakuna" and "Weedle" do not exist in Pinwheel Forest.

In the game, there is a 4% chance that Beedrill will appear in the Hidden Grotto of Pinwheel Forest, and the characteristic must be Sniper.

From this point, you can know that this Beedrill is not a life from "this world"!

"Spa!"

The shiny Beedrill stared at Grotle. Under the scattered light spots in the Hidden Grotto, it looked both sacred and full of oppression. An invisible wind seemed to surround its body. Gradually, a visible energy emerged on the surface, appearing as an abrupt red.

Whoosh!

Beedrill acted first!

Twin Needle!

Beedrill's two drill needles, like long spears, flashed with fierce light and rushed towards Grotle at an unimaginable high speed!

Thump! Grotle hadn't reacted yet, but Doublade's shield had already blocked the twin needles. Beedrill noticed the incredible aura on Doublade and immediately stopped fighting.

"Ha..." Grotle looked at Doublade, expressing its desire to fight this Pokémon.

This is a trial given by the forest. If you want to listen to the call here, you must fight it, and then get something from it.

Grotle wants to get those things!

【... Is that so? This forest is calling you, and I also noticed that the power of this forest pays special attention to you, as if it has consciousness.】

Doublade is a powerful king and also possesses huge spiritual power. It noticed the whispers of the forest from the beginning. At the same time, Doublade also mastered the move "Confide", which made it more sensitive to external perception.

【Grotle, you have to be careful, the power of the twin needles of that Beedrill just now was extraordinarily strong. The Pokémon you are facing should not be an ordinary Pokémon. The power covering it should be the embodiment of the power of this forest!】

Doublade retreated to the back, Grotle formally faced the shiny Beedrill, and the latter waved its spear and reorganized its posture!

Are you done talking?

It asked like this!

If you are done talking, the next step is the moment of battle and expulsion. The loser has no chance to get the blessing of the forest, even if you are loved by this forest!

【Isn't that guy supposed to be a protector shaped by the forest?】

Doublade asked its Trainer very strangely.

"Pinwheel Forest regards the process of seizing the slate as a trial."

"Powerful Pokémon will occupy some treasures exclusively. Before defeating the opponent, they will not share the power of these treasures with others. This is also a part of the natural ecology, including this kind of struggle."

"So battle is the best channel for each other to understand and recognize."

Xiang Guangtai tried to establish "communication between insect friends" with this Beedrill, but failed.

The response was... rejection!

Because it is the leader of insects from another world! Trying to get close to it is useless!

The shiny Beedrill's figure suddenly became illusory!

Agility!

Relax the body to become light, greatly increasing its speed!

The huge white needle like a long spear pierced the air and stabbed directly at Grotle. A light green light curtain emerged, Grotle used Protect, blocking this blow head-on!

But Beedrill let out a disdainful laugh!

"Hiss hiss hiss spa!"

Thump! The light curtain of Protect began to crack, and the blessing power from Pinwheel Forest, or that special slate, on its body overflowed, almost shattering the light shield of Protect!

The twin needles turned into invincible long spears, and when they were waved, a powerful noisy sonic boom was born!

The Entree Forest was also peeping at this Pokémon through Xiang Guangtai.

That kind of attack method, that power is...

【Note of the Entree Forest: It is the power of the forest seal stone. The Pokémon just now obtained "special ability" under the special ability bonus. That power should be called "Noisy Spear".】

【Based on the Twin Needle move, if its own vitality is sufficient, the base damage of this attack will be greatly increased, and it will add poison and confusion status to the opponent's Pokémon.】

【This might not be the true power of this Beedrill yet, be careful of its toxins!】

Obviously possessing the power to purify filth, the forest protector cultivated by Pinwheel Forest is one after another good at using poison. The shiny Beedrill's blow did not get results, so it immediately used Agility to pull away the distance. Xiang Guangtai realized that it could not be allowed to continue using that move.

So, he pulled out a piece of special cloth from his backpack and tied it to Grotle's body.

Covert Cloak—Legging version.

It is mainly because Grotle's posture is not convenient to carry a cloak, so it can only be tied to the shell, abdomen, or limbs. In order to avoid falling into additional states such as poisoning and confusion, this is necessary. And the Beedrill on the opposite side launched an attack again!

The continuously used Agility has already stacked the speed to 6 levels! This kind of extremely fast Pokémon is the nightmare of tank-type Pokémon. They can frequently harass the opponent back and forth in actual combat, making the bulky and heavy Pokémon constantly beaten, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing physical strength and defeating the opponent!

So, the next move is—

Countless white light missiles sprayed out from the twin spears of the shiny Beedrill! Like missiles tearing the air and setting off sonic booms!

Pin Missile!

Launch sharp needles at the opponent to attack. Like Bullet Seed, it belongs to a continuous attack move!

Grotle's eyes condensed, listening to Xiang Guangtai's command.

Facing this kind of long-range continuous firepower attack, using the same and more powerful move to fight back is the best! So... Bullet Seed!

Dense light bullets spat out from Grotle's mouth, collided with the whistling Pin Missiles, setting off an explosion cloud. At this moment, Grotle's vision was completely blocked, and Beedrill's buzzing sound came from far to near, having already taken advantage of the cover of the explosion cloud to rush to Grotle's eyes!

Battle style, one hit, point-to-point needle stab!

Only pursuing "power", it is the battle style of extreme strongest hit! If the opponent's battle Pokémon has special power attached, then knock out that Pokémon!

The move with power attached is Fell Stinger!

If you use this move to defeat the opponent, the attack will be greatly increased!

Thump! The destructive blow of the shiny Beedrill hit Grotle... the latter's body dissipated like a phantom!

It's Substitute!

The shiny Beedrill turned its head suddenly, and then a fierce white light ground it, directly bombarding it on the tree with huge energy!

Solar Beam!

"Using explosion smoke to approach the opponent in battle, and trying to defeat the enemy with one hit, everyone thinks so, and naturally there will be countermeasures."

Burgh's Heracross was also preparing to use the smoke cover to decide the outcome with one hit. It can only be said that the battle styles of aggressive Pokémon are similar!

At the moment when the attack missed, the opponent would also have a moment of lag. Even if it used Agility several times, it couldn't immediately adjust its posture when the attack missed!

"Spa!"

However, although Beedrill's durability is not high, its special defense unexpectedly has 80, plus the attribute four times resistance to grass, so a Solar Beam could not defeat it. This shiny Beedrill flapped its wings and flew up from the broken tree again!

And it was very interested in the power used by the shiny Beedrill just now.

Attached to ordinary moves and specially strengthened, is this the power from the forest? It feels like a special ability in a card game.

It is completely different from the "understanding control" of general moves.

If it's speed... we can too!

"Shell Smash!"

Grotle's shell appeared in large areas of cracks. Its speed, attack, and special attack were greatly improved, while its defense and special defense began to decline. Before Beedrill attacked, Grotle continuously used "Shell Smash" twice!

Throw away defense and appear in a completely offensive posture!

Bang! The big turtle that looked clumsy ran at an incredible speed, and further used "Trailblaze"!

The light dance steps and extremely high speed stirred up dust. The shiny Beedrill was surprised and looked left and right. Its plan to harass the opponent at super high speed and defeat Grotle with one hit was completely declared bankrupt at this time, followed by the arrival of Grotle's counterattack moment!

Beedrill flapped its wings and swung Pin Missiles at Grotle's afterimage in the dust!

White light fierce missiles poured towards the afterimage, all missed. Followed by a sudden riot of dust, forming a tornado and trapping Beedrill in it!

Sand Tomb!

The disadvantage of not having the Flying attribute was fully revealed at this time. Even if Beedrill can "fly at high speed", it does not have the Flying attribute. Sand Tomb directly pulled it down from mid-air, wrapped it in the sandstorm that kept winding, and violently destroyed it!

At this time, we must pursue the victory and not let it have a chance to escape! Grotle nodded, and its forelimbs slammed into the ground!

Bulldoze!

Stomp hard on the ground and attack all Pokémon around you. Will reduce the opponent's speed!

The shock wave hit Beedrill's body along the Sand Tomb, and the latter's speed continued to decrease. Grotle's Bulldoze had a unique rhythm, using the beat of the Trailblaze dance to use Bulldoze, making Beedrill hit by the shock wave every time it tried to break free, and finally panting, its physical strength was exhausted by more than half!

However, Beedrill didn't intend to just accept its fate. It looked like it stopped moving in the Sand Tomb, waiting for the shock wave of Bulldoze to disappear. Grotle decided to use one move to decide the outcome!

It rushed into the sandstorm, used Body Slam, and firmly pressed Beedrill under its body and caused a paralysis effect, but at this moment, the shiny Beedrill backhanded and hit Grotle!

This move is...

"Ya?!"

Grotle felt that its physical strength was exhausted in an instant, and the shiny Beedrill's pair of green agate-like insect eyes had no emotion, as if this blow had been planned for a long time, and it was even waiting for this moment.

Bug Pokémon are at a disadvantage in many attributes, so if you want to defeat powerful enemies, you must have unique skills!

Endeavor! Deal damage, making the opponent's HP the same as its own HP!

Look at Kricketune in front of her... Huh? Is its body more shiny? And it seems to have become a little stronger?

Did it eat something good?

Kricketune pointed in the direction Xiang Guangtai left, which made the Rangers more curious.

"People who can live in harmony with nature... If he can come to be a Ranger, he will definitely become the chief soon." Some Rangers said, and at the same time thought that Unova actually has a chief Ranger assigned, so he dialed Artano's Poké-number.

"Hey hey, Mr. Artano? I have something magical to report to you... Hmm? Your tone is very good, are you not depressed anymore? That's great."

"We met a particularly magical Trainer in the forest, with Pokémon..."

"Hmm? You know him?!"

Compared to the Rangers' discussion on this matter, other Trainers, as well as backpackers exploring the forest, some didn't see Xiang Guangtai and just waited for their own Pokémon to return, and some saw Xiang Guangtai's figure, approached with curiosity and enthusiasm but lost their way, but when they went back, it was unexpectedly smooth.

"Ah!? What happened just now! I saw the Pokémon following that person seemed very strong, and I wanted to find him for a battle!"

A certain youngster scratched his head. He found that the road he used to know suddenly became difficult and unclear, but when he turned his head, he found that his Venipede had returned and brought back a four-leaf clover emitting light.

"Ya! Venipede, you're back! I didn't see your mysterious ritual! I'm so sad!"

Venipede rubbed his trainer's calf and nodded to show comfort.

It doesn't matter, you won't see it next time either.

Just give up that heart!

"Hey, I feel like you seem to be despising me just now..."

"Centipede... (That's it)."

"Ha! You are comforting me, right? I knew you cared about me."

"Centipede... (Not at all)."

For young people, there are still many new things in the outside world. Although they missed some interesting stories, there are more wonderful futures waiting for him, so the youngster and his Venipede drilled into the forest to continue his forest exploration.

This summer is still very long, and it is a good season to go out and catch bugs.

Thump... Thump...

The Venipede leader led Xiang Guangtai, not following the main road, but bypassing from the forest to the outside of Pinwheel Forest. Here, the trees became slightly sparse, the shrubs became more, and there were a lot of rocks and puddles of different postures.

Venipede's poison tail lifted up and pointed straight in one direction.

You can see it from here!

That huge rock stands abruptly on a high ground. You can see it after crossing the grass in front and climbing the stairs!

"Thank you for your help." Xiang Guangtai took out a Rare Candy from his backpack as a gift.

The Venipede leader was initially confused about this food, but after tasting it, all its abilities grew in an instant, which made it look up at Xiang Guangtai in surprise, and nodded again with great recognition!

Good stuff, good stuff!

Thank you, human!

As expected of the person chosen by the forest, the shot is quite

No way, I lost.

Beedrill flapped its wings, cautiously staring at the behavior of Xiang Guangtai and Grotle. If these two people intend to take that slate away, it will definitely do it again.

Of course, saying that it is not intimate is just for face.

The shiny Beedrill can feel the strange power on Xiang Guangtai. Although it is said to be the leader of insects, it is more like... a friend who has never met before.

Humans with special powers can always win the favor of Pokémon, especially those blessed by the forest or other nature, but as a protector, it also has a major responsibility that cannot be put down. How can it bow down like other little bugs!

We also have dignity!

"Sure enough, it came from another world. Okay, don't be so nervous! Then, that slate is... I'm touching it."

Xiang Guangtai and Grotle walked up together and looked at Beedrill, who was silent for a while.

Spa!

Touch it, touch it! That's what you won! The winner takes all!

"Huh, you're still shy, are you a tsundere?"

"Spa! (What are you talking about!)" Beedrill was quite angry.

So, Grotle touched the slate first.

The slate emitted a calling sound, and surging power poured out from it!

The slate reacted to Grotle and Xiang Guangtai's energy!

The power it carried seemed to come from the same... great god!

【Crafted Item (?): Forest Seal Stone (Pinwheel Forest).】

【Description: A special jewel that fell from the universe a long time ago, a unique sealed slate born after being nurtured by the power of Pinwheel Forest, wrapped in energy not belonging to the mortal world. Only lives recognized by this forest can hear the call of the slate. This slate is with the forest and cannot be taken away.】

【Possess jewel-making craftsmanship, use specific "meteorites" for processing, place them in different forests for production and cultivation, and you can make sealed stones with the same power. In addition to the Forest Seal Stone, there are Earth Seal Stone and Sky Seal Stone.】

【Effect: Bestow blessings. Those who are blessed can obtain power from any forest. If you obtain the blessings of multiple forests, Grass-type Pokémon can change their forest form, and their body size will become larger than common Pokémon.】

【Grotle obtained special power "Sun-Facing Shell"! When using Synthesis, the efficiency of Synthesis becomes twice, and it ignores weather changes!】

【Grotle obtained special power "Forest Sowing"! After using Energy Ball, you can share special plant energy on your body with surrounding Pokémon.】

【Grotle absorbed the gift from the forest, part of the energy from the Dream World!】

【Grotle seems to be able to evolve... Do you want to evolve?】

Evolving Pokémon will grow into a stronger posture, and the Entree Forest is also waiting for this moment. If Grotle chooses to accept it, then the giant tree on its back is equivalent to... a mobile signal station?

But Xiang Guangtai thought, the original appearance of the Entree Forest was a spiral tree, which looked very ugly.

And in Black and White 2, its image seems to have changed, can't remember clearly.

However, becoming an agent of the forest is also a good thing.

In the fierce white light, Grotle's body began to become gigantic. The original shrubs twisted and coiled into the appearance of a giant tree. Three white triangular rocks like miniature mountains grew on the edge of the shell.

The golden shell also returned to the appearance of carrying soil and moss. Accompanied by a heavy low roar, a huge Torterra appeared!

Thump!

Torterra, possesses a huge and flat shell, looks like some kind of ankylosaurus, possesses a giant body like a beautiful garden, and is a powerful person with infinite strength.

It is a moving forest, also a moving garden and medicine garden. Weak Pokémon will gather together, build nests on Torterra's back, be born on its back, and spend their whole lives on its back.

In the distant past, people once assumed that there was a huge Torterra under the earth.

"The appearance of the tree is different!"

Actually, it's not just the tree.

At this time, even the green armor covering the face and body of Torterra changed to a maple red color like autumn leaves.

The mutation of plants and the blessing of the Royal Protection Stone and the Seal Stone made it completely transform into a unique form that only exists in the world. The three rocks on the back also became smooth and white, looking like the white stone of gratitude, but a mark of the Origin Forme appeared on the one in the center, which made Xiang Guangtai quite strange.

Could it be that these three rocks will also turn into different stones?

The image of that tree is also very strange. It looks like a spiral shape, but there are still lush red leaves on the top, which is not the same as the bald image of the early Entree Forest, but the spiral-shaped trunk looks... like half is missing.

【Grotle evolved into Torterra!】

【Learned moves: Earthquake, Wood Hammer, Giga Drain, Earth Power, Smack Down!】

【Gift move of Pinwheel Forest: Grass Pledge!】

【Gift move of Entree Forest: Frenzy Plant!】

【Torterra—(Entree Forest Form)】

【Note 1: A unique Torterra with multiple blessings, with an appearance different from ordinary clans, the tree on the back becomes a mysterious Entree Forest, carrying the power of the Entree Forest, can secretly connect with different natural forests, when necessary, this small Entree Forest can also be used as a node for sneaking into the connection, and can also be used as an entry point for dreams, but now the power is weak and cannot be used actively.】

【Note 2: The Entree Forest gathers people's will. This small tree also has the same effect. You can exchange some temporarily used Release Power through this small tree.】

【Note 3: The small Entree Forest on the back will periodically produce special Berries. Because the soil on Torterra's back is extremely rich in nutrients, it will also irregularly produce powerful herbs such as Power Herb and Revival Herb. Planting unique plants on the back soil and using higher-quality soil for cultivation will further improve Torterra's ground power.】

"Of course, phantom soil is our goal."

【Obtained reward: Release Orb ×2, Pinwheel Forest Badge ×1, Power of Nature ×1, Pinwheel Branch ×1!】

The Entree Forest began to distribute rewards. Two Release Orbs appeared in the backpack, and at the same time, Torterra obtained a "Badge".

'Pinwheel Forest Badge: A badge of Pokémon blessed by Pinwheel Forest.'

'Requirement: Defeat the guardian of the Seal Stone in Pinwheel Forest and be recognized by the forest.'

'Effect: In the forest, you will not become abnormal, you will not get lost, and you will be guided straight by the forest.'

【Power of Nature: An ability that Rangers who have been with nature for a long time can vaguely feel. Not resisting nature and obtaining stronger power from it, this is the strength of Rangers.】

【—You can get more "help" in nature, Pokémon may take the initiative to help when encountering a crisis, occasionally you will get unique Berries, you will be stronger when using Grass, Water, Fire, and Bug-type Pokémon in nature, and natural plants will give you help and guidance at critical moments.】

【Pinwheel Branch: This is the straightest branch in the whole forest, which can be used to make special item "Magic Wand", launching Grass, Ground, and Electric energy as arrows, can shoot down Flying-type Pokémon, condensing the power of Ground, Grass, and Electric, and will have special effects on the Pokémon named Duraludon.】

The shiny Beedrill intended to leave with the Seal Stone, but was stopped by Xiang Guangtai and forcibly recorded a few moves.

"..." Beedrill didn't quite understand this behavior, but Xiang Guangtai was recognized by the forest after all...

The shiny Beedrill's emerald-like eyes flashed.

Hmph!

Okay, just help this once, I really can't do anything about you!

So, after doing this little favor, it flapped its wings and disappeared from Xiang Guangtai's eyes quickly.

"Hey, maybe we will meet again!"

"Spa (We will never meet again!)"

An invisible wave dissipated in the time and space around, and then... made a certain amulet on Xiang Guangtai's chest shine slightly.

The light was not the blue crystal pendant, but the "Miracle Diamond" that had been dusty and had never had any reaction.

"Time and space fluctuation?"

The light lasted only for a moment and then disappeared. Xiang Guangtai was confused. When he left the Hidden Grotto with Torterra and Doublade, he found that a large number of Bug Pokémon had gathered near that ancient giant tree.

They whispered, sent over four-leaf clovers emitting faint light found from all over, and one of the larger Venipedes among them hissed in a low voice, signaling Xiang Guangtai to come with it.

Go to the place where there are the most lost four-leaf clovers—the legendary "Pledge Plains".

Looking at the Bug Pokémon turning around, Xiang Guangtai hugged Torterra.

"Congratulations, Torterra, you evolved, and in the future, you will get more power from the forest, and you will become the biggest and strongest Torterra."

"Dota..." Torterra turned its head and rubbed against Xiang Guangtai gratefully.

From now on, I can carry you on my back, because I have become big enough.

Our journey has just begun.
