Pokemon: Bounty Hunter Chapter 170 170: The Legend of the Mysterious Garden

Silas sat in the lounge area, sipping a drink and listening to the conversations of the trainers around him.

Normally, drinking tea at this ti would look more refined, but tea just wasn't sothing he cared for.

"So, I guess it all just cos down to luck," he thought resignedly.

His reason for coming to Yuanqing City was the sa as that of the other trainers.

Yuanqing City was a rather obscure little city — at least it was that way over a decade ago. However, as information exchange gradually expanded, its reputation slowly spread.

Especially among trainers specializing in Grass-type Pokémon.

There was a legend about a place where, as the moon phases or star constellations shifted, at a specific mont, Bulbasaur would continuously gather there to hold a festival unique to themselves.

During this festival, the participating Pokémon underwent extraordinarily mysterious changes.

This secret and peculiar place was called the Mysterious Garden.

The true Mysterious Garden had never actually been discovered and was therefore considered only a myth.

However, near Yuanqing City, there was an area believed to be strikingly similar to the legendary Mysterious Garden.

Except for the absence of the festival held by Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur, everything else fit people's imaginations perfectly — it was said that Grass-type Pokémon entering this area would gain trendous benefits.

As for what the place looked like or the exact benefits one would receive after entering, those lucky few kept tight-lipped — only they knew what they had gained.

Even so, this spot piqued the curiosity of many and inspired frenzied exploration. After all, every Grass-type Pokémon belonging to those few trainers who publicly revealed they had entered the area were extraordinarily powerful.

Unfortunately, over the past decade, only these very few lucky ones had actually made it inside.

Most people searched fruitlessly and left in disappointnt.

Of course, many still persevered, so even living in Yuanqing City solely for the chance to enter that area once.

Because of this, Yuanqing City gradually developed.

Now, during this ti, the city was at the peak of its yearly bloom of the unique Halo Flower — a flower that blossod only once per year. Only during this period would that area occasionally appear.

The Halo Flower blood just once a year and lasted only three days. If it weren't for the obvious signs before blooming, many would miss its splendid display.

Because of this, even though the bloom ti changed every year, people could still use the flower's blossoming to predict when that area would be accessible.

Every year, this variable ti was when Yuanqing City was at its busiest and most vibrant.

Just like now.

The entire Pokémon Center was packed with people who had co seeking the legend.

"I wonder if my little buddy's luck will rub off on ." Silas thought.

After all, his Togepi had the hidden ability Super Luck. He was confident that if the Mysterious Garden was all about luck, besides Ash and his friends later on, he—with Togepi—would definitely be one in a million lucky enough to enter.

Yes, Silas was certain — this was the Mysterious Garden.

Because here, in the future, Ash's Bulbasaur would truly enter the Mysterious Garden and take part in that Bulbasaur festival.

As for why no one here had ever witnessed the Bulbasaur festival before, Silas guessed it was probably because the Mysterious Garden was divided into two areas: an outer and an inner zone.

The outer zone was accessible to all Grass-type Pokémon, while the inner was only open to Bulbasaur.

The only problem was that so trainers and Pokémon who had entered before did include Bulbasaur. After all, this was Kanto.

Still, none of them had ever seen the true Mysterious Garden like Ash did.

You could say, that silly guy was different from the rest — a cut above the norm.

"Today is the first day of the Halo Flower's bloom. According to past rumors, there's still so ti left." Silas muttered to himself. Usually, the lucky ones entered on the third day.

Feeling the growing bustle and the dense chatter all around, Silas frowned slightly and walked back to his room with Togepi in his arms.

He didn't mind the noise, but this excessive clamor made him a bit uncomfortable.

Back in his room, Togepi quietly relaxed in his arms.

"All right everyone, get so rest." Silas released his companions.

The three senior Pokémon lazily found spots to rest as usual; anwhile, the two energetic youngsters, Snivy and Togepi, began chasing and playing around in this small space.

"Now, based on the different principles of abilities, we can simply classify them into three types: crisis abilities (activated when conditions like HP dropping to about one-third are t), weather abilities (affecting or being affected by weather), and appearance abilities (like the Iron Barbs ability relying on the Pokémon's physical traits)."

Silas lay on his bed, the computer in front of him playing a lesson. The noise from the two little ones playing gradually softened.

The next day, with Togepi in his arms and Snivy perched on his shoulder, Silas once again headed into the forest.

He wasn't the only one—along the way, many trainers with Grass-type Pokémon similar to his could be seen.

However, once inside the dense woods, the group scattered and gradually disappeared. Even Silas, with his keen perception, soon lost track of the others.

Luckily, most of the ti, he didn't rely solely on his perception.

"Gigalith, I'm counting on you~"

He casually threw a luxury ball containing Gigalith, and it imdiately appeared before him.

One Trainer with three Pokémon continued steadily through the forest.

After searching for several hours, even with Silas well-prepared, he couldn't help but feel restless.

Feeling tired, he found an empty clearing, pulled out all his tools and supplies, and began preparing lunch for his little companions.

"Pidgeot, Blaziken, you two co out and stretch your wings."

Two flashes of white light later, the two Pokémon appeared on the grass.

Not long after tidying up the ss, Silas sat down on the ground, one hand holding a sandwich, the other propping him up. The forest's monotonous scenery was starting to feel tireso.

Not exaggerating, if he were stuck inside a room, he'd probably have dug a hole three feet deep by now.

"Snivy!" "Togepi!"

A few ters away, Snivy and Togepi were interacting with their little short arms.

This was Silas' way of teaching them to pass the ti — yes, the little hand-pushing ga where they face off palm to palm.

"Ha, haha."

Watching Togepi occasionally make mistakes and be pushed down by Snivy, rolling around on the ground with that goofy expression, Silas couldn't help but laugh.

"Snivy!"

Togepi puffed up its cheeks and looked at its unkind Trainer.

How did I lose every ti, and you're still laughing at ?

"All right, all right, I shouldn't laugh at you," Silas said indulgently, raising a finger.

That finger ant ice cream — Togepi was especially fond of ice cream, and usually, if he had that, any problem could be solved.

Togepi solemnly drew two circles in the air with its hand.

Silas naturally understood what it ant. "No problem, double scoop: one vanilla, one chocolate."

Togepi nodded in satisfaction.

"As a reward for winning, Snivy, how about a slice of cream cake when we get back today?"

Silas shifted his gaze to Snivy. As a Trainer, he couldn't play favorites.

"Snivy!"

Snivy's eyes instantly sparkled as it nodded firmly.

The two little ones happily resud their play.

This was also a small reward for their recent hard training. Usually, even snacks were strictly controlled by Silas.

After all, neither a chubby Servine nor a fat Togekiss was the result he wanted to see.

"Ugh, so sleepy." Lying flat on the grass, feeling the sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves fall upon him, Silas drowsily drifted off to sleep.

He didn't absolutely have to enter the Mysterious Garden, but since he was here at the right ti, it would feel like a regret not to try.

He was quite interested in this legendary place after all.

But if he succeeded, it was his fortune; if not, it was fate — so he left everything to chance.

The wind rustled the leaves softly.

Pidgeot perched on a thick branch of a tall tree nearby, watching the surroundings with mild boredom.

Blaziken and Gigalith sat on either side of Silas, watching the two energetic little ones release their vitality.

Gradually, the two little Pokémon strayed further and further from the main group.

But obviously, the three seniors didn't mind at all.

After all, before they started eating, they had thoroughly scanned and cleared the nearby area — no new Pokémon would appear here in the short term.

Besides, Snivy wasn't a helpless little Pokémon. In this relatively low-level area, not to ntion easily defeating wild Pokémon, even if sothing unexpected happened, Pidgeot and Blaziken could quickly co to its aid.

Blaziken stopped its aura sensing and glanced at Gigalith nearby. Having watched this partner grow up, Blaziken found Gigalith extrely reliable.

"Blaziken."

"I'm counting on you for a while. I'll take a rest," Blaziken said to Gigalith.

Gigalith silently nodded in understanding.

Blaziken relaxed as it moved under the tree where Pidgeot was perched, leaning against the trunk and stretching.

At this mont, ti seed to freeze.

Apart from occasional Pokémon sounds and faint laughter of the two little ones playing through the grass, the forest was extrely quiet.

The sun slowly slipped from directly overhead, but the heat did not lessen—in fact, it intensified.

"Togepi!"

Suddenly, Togepi scampered back from the grass on its short legs, but Snivy's figure was nowhere behind it.

Thump!

Its tiny body dove straight into Silas' stomach.

"Achoo, easy there, what's wrong?"

Silas snapped awake, seeing only the little one return. Instinctively, he asked about the situation.

Since Gigalith showed no warning, it was likely nothing serious.

"Togepi"

Togepi tugged on Silas' sleeve, signaling for him to get up and follow. As for Snivy, it was fine but had stayed behind at the place Togepi wanted to show Silas.

"All right, all right, little guy."

Silas reluctantly rose. Behind him, Pidgeot slid down from the tree, and Blaziken stood up tall.

He scooped up the excited Togepi. "Don't rush. Lead the way."

The three seniors followed curiously. Their senses detected no trouble nearby, and Snivy was still standing still.

They wound through the forest a bit, and Silas finally saw Snivy.

At the sa ti, a strange "wall" in front of it ca into view.

Squinting, Silas recognized it — was that... vines?

Walking closer and touching it lightly, it was unmistakably vines, although their color and shape resembled a stone wall.

Moreover... Silas and his Pokémon circled around and realized this special vine wall enclosed a large area ahead.

Even above—the view from Pidgeot showed the top was also a vine wall.

It was as if this place was capped by a giant inverted bowl made of vines.

"Gigalith!" "Blaziken!"

At that mont, Gigalith and Blaziken began calling out one after the other.

Silas smiled slightly. "Oh? You can't sense the wall in front of you, and the trainers who were scattered around suddenly disappeared?"

Both Pokémon nodded in unison.

Silas' heart leapt with joy—this definitely looked like the Mysterious Garden.

"Mua~ well done~"

He planted a kiss on Togepi in his arms.

No wonder it was a lucky star—not given without reason.

Danger aside, this opportunity couldn't be missed.

First, they had to break through this vine wall.

"Blaziken, Fla Kick." Silas gave the command.

To deal with grass, fire was naturally the best choice.

"Blaze!"

Blaziken didn't hesitate, powering up its legs and instantly covering them in flas, then fiercely kicked the vine wall with one foot.

Thud!

Unexpectedly, the collision sounded like steel striking steel.

Blaziken jumped back, shaking its head at Silas.

"Violent force won't work, huh?" Silas pondered. "Snivy, try to use your vines to manipulate it open."

"Snivy."

Snivy shook its head. It had tried already but couldn't open it.

This was tricky. Silas rubbed his hands together—he had no experience or ideas on how to open it.

"Did it look like this when you arrived here? Did it just suddenly appear?"

Looking up at the sun, Silas thoughtfully asked the two little ones.

Snivy and Togepi nodded in sync—yes, it suddenly appeared.

No, that didn't add up. Silas crossed his arms and thought harder
