Chapter 18: 18. Evolution
"Hello, my name is Brock, please tell me your beautiful name!"
Seeing this young lady running towards him, Brock almost teleported and stopped in front of her.
But this time, the young lady ignored him and ran to Ash.
Ash has already directed Heracross and Chikorita to capture the Hoppip.
"Hoppi, I'm so worried about you!" The young lady held Hoppip in her arms and looked at Ash gratefully, "Thank you so much!"
"My name is Aziz. Nice to meet you!"
She took them to her house out of gratitude.
She lives in a suburb not far away. In front of her red-roofed house, a large net is set up.
Obviously, this is a measure to prevent Hoppip from being whisked out by strong winds.
Her job is to do weather forecasting. In addition to various anemometers on the roof and various instruments in the house, she is studying the use of Hoppip's behavioral patterns to predict the weather.
Suddenly, Ash and his party noticed that seven Hoppip gathered together and entangled the grass blades above their heads.
This scene made Aziz feel nervous!
"Strong winds are going to blow soon!"
As soon as she finished speaking, dark clouds gathered, and the various anemometers on the roof began to swing wildly!
"You can't be wrong, there is a pretty big hurricane forming, and it's blowing this way!" With the different instrument, she quickly confirmed the Hoppips' actions!
After confirmation, Ash and his party suddenly became nervous.
Everyone hurriedly reinforced the windows of the house with wooden boards, but after Aziz confirmed, it turned out to be a twister, blowing in this direction in a straight line.
Even Aziz was panicked, "I've never seen such a strong twister!"
With an exclamation, she turned around and shouted to everyone, "Everyone, hurry up and take shelter under the table!"
'What kind of luck is this?' Misty questioned herself.
Obviously, she expected that her room might not be able to withstand this Twister!
Ash reacted the fastest, "Quickly take Hoppip back to the Poké Ball!"
Just now, they had moved the huddled Hoppip indoors. But looking at the current situation, if this room can't hold it, Hoppip may be in danger!
They will definitely be whisked out by wind, and then they will be difficult to find.
"But, the Poké Ball..."
The Poké Ball has been put away. It's too time-consuming to find it now!
"Then there's no way!"
Ash stopped taking Chikorita back into the Poké Ball and held Pikachu and Chikorita in his arms.
Chikorita stretched out the vines and tied up the two Hoppips.
Misty also reacted, picked up a Hoppip, held her in her arms with Togepi, and hid under the table.
Brock no longer cared about expressing his love to Aziz, and hugged the two Hoppips in his arms.
At this time, Ash and his team solved 5 Hoppip.
Aziz was also unambiguous, hugging the last two Hoppips and hiding them under the table.
"Ash, thank you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the twister unceremoniously opened the roof. The wind was so terrible that people didn't even know what they were thinking.
It feels like all thoughts have been blown away.
Immediately afterwards, the table could not withstand Twister's power and was also thrown out by yhe whirlwind.
Aziz held Hoppip tightly in his arms.
"Chikorita, everyone, hold on a little longer!"
Here, the most difficult position someone is in is Ash. He is holding Pikachu and Chikorita, while Chikorita has two Hoppip tied to her rattan braid.
However, under this natural disaster, manpower is really very small.
After several tables were blown away, a large machine was blown down, and Misty was underneath!
"Damn it!" Ash hugged Pikachu and Chikorita and gritted his teeth when he saw this. He stood up and leaned against the big machine with his back.
"ASH!"
Ash's heroic rescue made Misty cry, but she was almost blown out just as she was about to stand up. Ash quickly reached out and pulled her back.
Blue light flashed all over his body, and the power of the Aura was set up to form a stable protective layer.
This was the first time that Ash had to used his Aura power to such a large extent. The mental power he had just recovered began to be greatly consumed again at a fast pace.
Headache! Desperate!
"Ash, are y-!"
Under Ash's protection, Misty didn't even feel the wind!
But soon, his vision started to go dark and he was about to faint.
"Chiko Chiko!"
Chikorita, who had been in his arms, looked at her trainer worriedly.
"It's okay, Misty, Chikorita, don't worry, just hold on, this will be over soon!"
However, Ash's current conditions are obviously very bad!
On the other side of them, Brock also stood wit Aziz. They each had two Hoppips in their arms. They were close together, so they were able to withstand the harsh winds of the twister.
"Damn it, is this Twister targeting me?"
Ash gritted his teeth, why doesn't this twister leave yet?
Seeing that Ash could hardly hold on any longer, Chikorita's whole body began to emit dazzling light.
"This is?"
With evolution, Chikorita's size grew many times larger.
There was no room for it in his arms anymore, so it fell to the ground by itself. The vines that originally held the two Hoppips stretched out again, knocking the machine that fell on Ash away, and then knocked Ash and Misty away.
Ash and his Aur power can finally be recovered a little.
Bayleef is much larger than Chikorita, so she can be more stable and comfortable in this damn condition!
"Great, Bayleef, you evolved!"
Ash was not all that surprised. Chikorita had already accumulated a lot of experience, and during this period he devoted most of his energy to Chikorita.
Chikorita has long since grown to the level where she can evolve. Perhaps she likes to stay on Ash's shoulders, so she suppressed her own evolution intentionally or unintentionally.
But now, in order to save her beloved trainer, Chikorita decided to evolve herself in exchange for more power!
It's going to fight for Ash in the future, no matter what!
At this moment, Bayleef's bond value reached 160/200.
After Bayleef evolved, she had enough power to protect Ash and the others. After a while, the twister left here and headed into the distance.
"Ash, are you okay?" After relaxing, she noticed that Ash was a little unstable and couldn't stand well, so Misty quickly supported him.
Ash also had Bayleef's vines wrapped around his waist to prevent him from falling.
"Misty, Bayleef, don't worry, I'm fine!" " Ash waved his hand, asking Bayleef to let go of him and sit on the ground.
Aziz checked the condition of the seven Hoppips. They were all in good condition, and each one looked very happy.
Heartless little radishes.
"Ash, again, thank you so much!" There was a mess all around, but none of this mattered. None of Hoppip flew away. If Ash and the others were not here, I'm afraid she would be in so much more trouble.
Ash patted Bayleef's round head and said, "It's Bayleef who should be thanked. It's all thanks to her!"
Bayleef: 160/215
