Chapter 40: Reasons For Reluctance to Evolve, Chlorophyll

"Congratulations Ash"

" Congratulations Ash"

At this time Misty and Brock also stepped forward to congratulate Ash.

Ash caught a bulbasuar one of the kanto's starter trio which is officially selected by Pokemon league.

Bulbasuar is stronger than most Pokémon that trainer can catch in the wild and it is also very rare.

They are basically monopolized by league officials.

Ash was very lucky to be able to catch such a talented Bulbasaur.

Bulbasuar can become the main grass type Pokémon in Ash's future Pokemon team.

....

[Pokémon: Bulbasaur

Level: lv30

Gender: Male.

Ability: chlorophyll

Potential: Elite level

Skills: Vine Whip, Razor Leaf, Seed Bomb, etc.

Intimacy: 200 (full value 255)

Item carrying: The best Miracle Seed]

After catching Bulbasaur ash immediately released it again.

He don't know how long it will take before bulbasaur leave this place and come back again.

Ash asked him to say goodbye to Melanie and the abandoned Pokémon which he protected.

Just click on Bulbasaur's information.

As expected the level is very high and has already crossed the threshold of pseudo gym level.

Speaking of which if bulbasuar really fought Gyarados just now it's not necessarily clear who would won the match.

Gyarados just looks very scary and his current level is not as high as Bulbasaur's.

Mainly because there haven't been any better places for them to level up recently.

In addition to receiving the winning streak mission Pikachu's level has been greatly improved.

Like Butterfree ,Gyarados and Pidegeotto has basically not been upgraded from Cerulean City to here.

Bulbasaur can reach such a high level partly due to its Elite level potential.

On the other hand he has been protecting other abandoned Pokémon in Pokémon Land for a long time.

There are frequent battles with foreign wild Pokémon and Trainers.

Accumulated enough combat experience.

But it can be seen that Bulbasaur really doesn't like evolution.

Given its level it should normally evolve into Ivysaur.

Even with a few more upgrades it can evolve into its ultimate form Venusaur.

If you think about it carefully in the original plot Bulbasaur has already begun to evolve due to certain influences in the Mysterious Garden.

But it was abruptly terminated the energy of evolution and convert that energy by learning solar beam.

Not wanting to evolve except for Bulbasaur's personal wishes.

It is also closely related to its Ability and fighting style.

Bulbasaur's Ability is a hidden ability - chlorophyll.

In the presence of sunlight the speed will be doubled.

This ability makes Bulbasaur very flexible in combat and suitable for fast attack style just like turtwig who became hero to zero after his evolution.

Before evolution turtwig was one of the fastest Pokemon on Ash's sinnoh team after it evolved into grotel the speed and performance started to decline after its final evolution torterra Ash's torttera took inspiration from Paul's torttera's fighting style.

Torttera's contribution in Ash's team after its evolution is abbismal now why I am going to gen 4 let's come to gen 1 bulbasaur's issue.

Once it evolves into its final form Venusaur its bulky body will lock its positioning on the turret.

The little speed increase in Chlorophyll Ability won't help at all.

It is equivalent to wasting an ability in vain.

After thinking clearly about the pro's and con's ash decided to respect his idea.

If there is a chance in the futurehe will even have to find an everstone for Bulbasaur to carry.

Prevent bulbasuar from evolving accidentally like how turtwig accidentally evolved due to over excitement after its battle.

With the best Miracle Seed Bulbasaur's damage can still keep up others in the team even without evolving!

What ash couldn't figure out is that such an outstanding Pokémon like Bulbasaur.There are actually a numbskull trainer who choose to abandon him.

What kind of looser he was to give up on this Pokemon with conquer's wil** cough* cough hmm great leader quality.?

Maybe it's because Bulbasaur doesn't want to evolve?

It just that the numbskull doesn't know the true value of this unrefined coal and he took an advantage hehe~

Speaking of which in the original plot he caught kanto's starter trio in the Kanto Region: Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander.

They are all picked up by others who don't want them.

Two SR and one SSR were drawn from the waste card deck.

Otherwise how can we say that he is the protagonist and known as choosen one by Arceus and others legendary Pokemon's!

It's really wonderful!

........ ..

Bulbasaur bid farewell to Melanie and other friends in Pokémon secret village and embarked on the journey with Ash.

Ash felt that in addition to Pikachu who is at the peak of the Lv49 gym and is only one level away from being promoted to pseudo-Elite.

The other Pokémon's levels are too low.

The highest were Pidegeotto, Bulbasaur who were only at lv30.

The lowest was his red Gyarados is at only lv25.

As for Butterfree who was the first to catch was the lowest among its fellow Pokemon's at Lv19

Almost a disruption on the Pokémons level have been formed without him noticing it.

The uneven development of the team is not what ash wants.

Although if he only use Pikachu like og there is a chance that it can suppress the one-on-six at the Indigo Plateau Conference at an absolute level and make all the entire audience to fuzz over pikachu.

But this is not a separate stage for Ash and Pikachu.

Now that he have caught other Pokémons he must be responsible for them and help them grow.

And gain the honor and victory he deserve and not wait 5 to 6 seasons worth of character development to win a championship.

Moreover Pikachu is already at lv49 and each level up is very difficult from now on.

This also requires too much combat experience.

Unless you challenge those high-level Trainers or take drugs and eat Rare Candy directly.

Just fighting in the wild he don't know how long it will take it to reach another level.

It's also time to level up other Pokémons on his team.

Otherwise you will have a bunch of Pokémon with pesudo-Elite potential at the beginning.

In the end their levels were kept spinning between ordinary and pseudo gym.

This is a big responsibility for him as their trainer to make them levelup and make them powerful.

........

Leaving the daydreaming Ash took Pidegeotto, Gyarados and Bulbasaur around to find wild Pokémon and exp trainer to level up.

(* Exp not means experienced trainer it means experience package trainer's)

While also enquiring about the Squirtle Legion who was doing mischief on the surrounding areas.

Misty who heard the news about water Pokemon become quite energetic.

Brock is doing his regular flirting marathon with beautiful onne'sans during their journey.

The boss of the Squirtle Legion is the one who was caught by him in the original plot or volunterly joined Ash's team.

It can become the second water-type main Pokemon in the team after his red Gyarados.

And you can also help Misty catch one of herself.

Speaking of which he hasn't given Misty any decent Present yet.

Those gadgets bought in pewter City don't count.

Misty have given him het family heirloom Gyarados traininh manual ash has tried it these days and the effect was very good.

He had to give something back to make our little tsundere happy.

If he only takes her shopping it won't be regarded as a present right taking their girlfriend shopping is a unwritten holy rule in the book of relationship written by Brock.

Regardless of whether it is set with diamonds or not it is worth a family heirloom.

He need to give her a present which she won't forget.
