20 Chapter 20 Evolution

"You're finally back, Yuli!"

When Rex saw the dusty Yuli, he appeared very happy and somewhat relieved.

Although Yuli had only been gone for less than a day, Rex felt like it had been a long time.

Usually, when Yuli was around, Rex didn't feel much. It was only after she left that he realized how important this girl was to Rex Farm. Today, all his time was wasted on farm affairs, leaving no free time for Pokémon training.

Now, seeing Yuli, he felt like he had seen a savior.

With Yuli's return, Rex Farm returned to its previous plain yet warm days.

In such a plain life, another month quickly passed.

Although Rex gave Yuli four days off this month, she only went back to the orphanage once. The rest of the time, she helped Rex take care of everything on the farm.

After this period of time, some of the fruit trees Rex transplanted had already blossomed, and it was believed that they would bear fruit soon.

Of course, this was also because Rex used his abilities on each fruit tree.

After receiving Rex's life energy, these fruit trees became vibrant and grew astonishingly. Now, it was believed that these fruit trees had grown for two years.

"It won't be long before I can achieve the freedom of fruit trees, hehe!"

Looking at these blossoming fruit trees, Rex smiled happily.

"Tailow, you have to do your best!"

"Heracross, don't lose to Tailow!"

Such unprincipled remarks could only be made by Rex.

After such a long period of training, both Tailow and Heracross had made significant progress.

Although they often engaged in battle training, that kind of training couldn't fully demonstrate their true strength.

So, at the suggestion of Rex, the old six, Tailow and Heracross engaged in a battle to determine who was the top Pokémon of Rex Farm.

Rex would not command this battle; it would rely entirely on the strength of Tailow and Heracross.

"The match begins!"

With Rex's command, Tailow and Heracross began to battle.

Now, both sides were very familiar with each other's abilities and fighting styles, so the battle felt evenly matched.

Tailow used Double Team, and countless Tailow figures appeared in the sky, while the ground Heracross also did not lag behind, using Pin Missile to quickly sweep through those shadows, preventing Tailow from hiding its form.

At this moment, Tailow used Aerial Ace, swiftly flying towards Heracross, and in the blink of an eye, it was close to Heracross.

Seeing this scene, Heracross didn't panic either. A white light emanated from its head, using Megahorn to counterattack.

After multiple collisions between wings and horns, the two Pokémon separated. Tailow was already panting a bit, but Heracross still looked spirited.

This was inevitable; the difference in their base stats was too great. Although Tailow had undergone rigorous training during this time, its progress was not as fast as Heracross.

"It seems that without any accidents, Tailow is going to lose!"

Seeing this scene, Rex murmured to himself in a voice only he could hear.

Indeed, the situation was as he said. Tailow was already at a disadvantage. If nothing else happened, defeat was only a matter of time. However, the greatest charm of Pokémon battles was that no one could predict the outcome.

Finally, Heracross seized an opportunity, landing a powerful Brick Break on Tailow, knocking it into a nearby tree.

At this point, Tailow's consciousness was already fading, but its unwillingness to give up made it refuse to surrender.

"Taill!"

After Tailow let out a cry, its entire body was enveloped in white light, the light of evolution.

"Tailow is evolving!"

Rex, seeing this scene, knew that Tailow was currently evolving.

Sure enough, not long after, a significantly larger Swellow appeared before him.

Rex estimated that the current Swellow was over 1.5 meters tall, more than twice the height of other normal Swellow.

The evolved Swellow was enveloped in a layer of energy, then quickly flew towards Heracross.

"Sky Attack!"

Rex didn't expect that after evolving, Swellow would learn this Flying-type move and directly use it.

However, upon seeing the incoming Swellow, Heracross did not choose to retreat.

The horn on its head emitted a much stronger light than before, directly using its Bug-type move, "Megahorn," to counterattack.

"Boom!"

After the collision between Swellow and Heracross, Rex heard a loud noise. The powerful energy fluctuations raised a lot of dust, obscuring his vision. For a while, he didn't know what the final result would be.

After a while, the dust on the battlefield gradually dispersed, and he could finally see that Swellow and Heracross were staring at each other.

Finally, Heracross fell to the ground first, losing consciousness. Seeing its opponent fall, Swellow let out a cry towards Rex before falling down as well.

"You two are really reckless. It's just a match, yet you've made yourselves so miserable!"

Rex was also secretly shocked by their battle intensity. He didn't expect Swellow and Heracross to be so strong now, and they were still very determined to win or lose in battle.

In the end, Rex still used his life energy to treat them, mainly afraid that they would leave any hidden injuries.

After healing them, the two Pokémon, who had fought to the death, came together, lightly touching Swellow's wings and Heracross's forelegs, then both smiled.

This battle did not affect their relationship in the slightest; instead, it made them even more appreciative of each other.

At this moment, Rex finally had time to take a good look at the evolved Swellow. Now, Swellow stood on the ground, almost as tall as him.

"Congratulations, Swellow, you've finally evolved!"

Rex looked at the Swellow in front of him, feeling emotional.

The image of Tailow lying on the beach, having fallen, was still vivid in his memory. In the blink of an eye, it had become the energetic Swellow in front of him.

Swellow responded to Rex by rubbing its head against him, then gestured for him to sit on its back.

"Swellow, do you want to take me flying?"

After seeing Swellow's gesture, Rex understood its meaning. With Swellow's current size, carrying him in flight was completely effortless.

After receiving Swellow's accurate response, Rex didn't hesitate. He went directly to its back, then hugged Swellow's neck with both hands.

When Rex was ready, Swellow let out a low cry, then quickly flapped its wings, flying into the sky.

Rex, on Swellow's back, originally thought takeoff would be bumpy, but it was surprisingly smooth. Moreover, after reaching high altitude, Rex didn't feel the strong wind pressure coming towards him.

Rex understood that this was Swellow helping him withstand the wind pressure, allowing him to fly comfortably in the sky.

Looking at the scenery below, Rex finally had a complete view of his farm today. The scenery below

 was very pleasant, making people reluctant to leave.

After flying in the sky for about ten minutes, Rex felt that Swellow was getting a little tired.

After all, it had just evolved and had just fought with Heracross. Even though he had treated it, it was still mentally fatigued.

"Let's go down, Swellow. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to take me flying in the future!"

Having experienced the thrill of flying today, Rex gave orders after noticing Swellow's condition.

Swellow didn't insist, directly carrying Rex back to the place where they took off. The other Pokémon were still waiting there!

After landing on the ground, Rex and Swellow were surrounded by the other Pokémon, as if asking how things were up there in the sky.

Your support is my motivation!
