[EVENT STARTED!! +200PS= +1 Chapter!!]

[+1200PS REACHED!! Next Goal: 1400PS!]

Hikaru sighed. The way things were going, it almost felt like he was the villain here. But who was the one that attacked first without honor? It was clearly the opponent!

Petilil turned back to lock eyes with Hikaru.

There's no problem!

As long as Hikaru was her Trainer, she could definitely win this battle!

"That's right. As long as we work together, we can win this. Listen to my commands, and let's claim victory together!"

Hikaru crouched down, pulling out a Grassy Glass Whistle while also preparing a Double Pickle. Then, he had Petilil eat Leftovers.

Meanwhile, Doublade took out the Eviolite, placed it into a small leather pouch, and secured it onto Petilil.

Fully equipped, Petilil hopped onto the battlefield!

Opposite her, Hisuian Electrode also readied itself for battle!

"Victory Dance!"

Right off the bat, Hikaru ordered a powerful move that only evolved Pokémon could learn!

Petilil began a fierce, ritualistic dance—boosting her Attack, Defense, and Speed!

Speed was crucial against Hisuian Electrode!

The enemy opened its large mouth:

"Seed Machine Gun!"

A rapid barrage of seed bullets rained down like a machine gun!

"Protect!" Hikaru commanded.

A green defensive barrier formed around Petilil. The Seed Machine Gun bullets ricocheted off harmlessly. Thanks to her recent growth, Petilil could now use Protect without exhausting herself like before!

"Mahruru!"

Seeing that its attack failed, Hisuian Electrode quickly switched strategies. Even wild Pokémon knew that Protect had a limited duration!

Its body surged with golden lightning!

Thunderbolt!

A massive bolt of electricity shot toward Petilil!

"Substitute!"

Hikaru reacted instantly. Petilil sacrificed a portion of her HP to create a decoy substitute, which took the full brunt of the Thunderbolt. Since it wasn't very effective, the substitute remained intact!

A second Thunderbolt followed—but the substitute absorbed that one too!

In real battles, Substitute wasn't just for deception—it also automatically attracted enemy attacks.

"Sunny Day! Then, Solar Beam!"

Petilil called forth a brilliant sun! Despite the forest canopy, the artificial sunlight pierced through the shadows!

Petilil absorbed the sunlight!

Seeing this, Hisuian Electrode panicked—it also lifted its head and began praying to the sky!

Instantly, dark clouds gathered overhead, shrouding the sun!

But at that moment, Solar Beam had already fired!

A massive white beam of energy blasted toward Hisuian Electrode!

"Mahruru!"

Hisuian Electrode was struck and sent flying, tumbling across the ground. But due to its Grass typing, it didn't take much damage.

Panting, it forced itself upright. By now, the rain clouds had fully formed—Hisuian Electrode had used Rain Dance!

Immediately, its body surged with even more electricity!

It was Charging!

This meant its next Electric-type move would deal double damage, and its Special Defense also increased by one stage!

Rain Dance + Charge...

There was no doubt what would come next—Thunder!

Violent lightning crackled around Hisuian Electrode. Thunder rumbled within the dark clouds above!

"Mahruru!"

But Hikaru was waiting for this exact moment!

"If you like using status moves so much, then let's keep you using them forever!"

Hikaru clapped his hands.

"Encore!"

Petilil twirled her dress, and spotlights seemingly appeared from nowhere, illuminating Hisuian Electrode!

『Hisuian Electrode is forced to use Encore!』

"Mahruru?!"

Hisuian Electrode panicked—it wanted to unleash Thunder, but no matter how hard it tried...

It could only use Charge again!

The forest grew wetter. The ground became muddy.

Encore forces the target to repeat their last move three times!

"Sunny Day! Follow it up with Pollen Puff!"

Petilil cast Sunny Day again, banishing the rain! The bright sunlight reappeared!

Then, she shook her leaves, conjuring a golden-red orb of pollen and launched it at Hisuian Electrode!

Super effective!

The Pollen Puff exploded upon impact, sending Hisuian Electrode rolling back!

However, thanks to its Special Defense boost from Charge, it barely endured. Realizing it couldn't attack, it decided to... run away!

Wild Hisuian Electrode used "Run Away!"

Super effective—for itself!

"Another Pollen Puff!—Wait, it rolled behind the orchard? Is this what wild Pokémon call 'Dodge Instinct'?" Hikaru sighed. Encore would soon wear off—after all, this wasn't a turn-based game.

Sure enough, Hisuian Electrode hid behind the berry trees, preventing Petilil from hitting it again.

At the same time, Hikaru noticed small green globs falling from its body.

Leftovers!

"So that's how it works—it stores uneaten berries inside its body. As they ferment, they gradually restore its HP. I see, Hisuian Electrode carries Leftovers by literally storing food inside itself!"

If left for too long, these berries might even ferment into a unique fruit juice!

"But eating a little extra won't save you. We still have one more trump card!"

Hikaru had long suspected Leftovers could be found on wild Hisuian Electrode—it was even labeled in his ingredient collection log.

While Hisuian Electrode rolled unpredictably behind the trees, Hikaru quickly formulated a countermeasure.

"Grassy Glide!"

Petilil harnessed Grass energy, then slid forward at high speed, launching herself directly into the orchard!

Hisuian Electrode was still nibbling its Leftovers, firmly believing in the "one bite of food keeps you alive" philosophy.

Suddenly—Petilil slid in and kicked it!

"Mahruru!"

Hisuian Electrode bounced off a tree, rebounded off another, and rolled right back into the battlefield!

Petilil didn't stop—her momentum carried her forward, and she launched a second sliding kick!

"Mahruru!!!"

Hisuian Electrode shrieked in pain. But as it tumbled across the ground, Encore finally wore off!

Now enraged, it abandoned status moves and charged straight at Petilil!

"Rollout!"

Rollout—a Rock-type move that increases in power with each consecutive hit!

Since Hisuian Electrode's body was a perfect sphere, it was faster than most Rollout users!

No hands, no problem—its attacks were naturally quicker!

It wanted Petilil to experience a true sliding attack!

But Hikaru had a plan.

"Grass Knot!"

Petilil cried out:

"Wawa!"

Suddenly, vines burst from the ground, entangling Hisuian Electrode!

Grass Knot trips heavier targets—but since Hisuian Electrode was literally a rolling ball, the vines wrapped around it entirely!

"Mahruru? Mahruru?!"

No—bad!

Hisuian Electrode panicked as Petilil loomed over it.

This wasn't the same Pokémon from before!

What—what was she about to do?!

"Weather Ball!"

Petilil formed three transparent orbs—under Sunny Day, they ignited into flames!

Weather Ball's power doubles under weather effects, and with Sunlight, it becomes Fire-type!

Petilil lifted the three blazing orbs high, staring down at Hisuian Electrode.

Her eyes burned not just with battle spirit—but with the determination to reclaim what was hers!

Three flaming Weather Balls soared through the air.

Hisuian Electrode's eyes widened in terror.

"Wait! A Grass-type using Fire moves?! That's illegal!!!"

Hisuian Electrode let out a painful scream.

Even with its Special Defense boosted twice, it still couldn't withstand the scorching flames!

However, despite being heavily damaged, it refused to give up!

As the Weather Ball flames engulfed its body, it gathered all its remaining strength.

Though its entire body was burning, it suddenly began emitting an intense green light!

"Mahruru!"

"This is my final move! Don't underestimate me! I am the leader of my clan!"

A massive spatial distortion appeared before Hisuian Electrode.

It was using Chloroblast!

Chloroblast—a unique move exclusive to Hisuian Electrode, in which it concentrates chlorophyll into a powerful blast, dealing massive damage to the opponent at the cost of hurting itself!

Hikaru reacted instantly.

He threw the Double Pickle toward Petilil!

Petilil stepped on it, triggering Double Power Mode!

At the same time, Hikaru blew the Grassy Glass Whistle!

"Max Power Solar Beam!"

The Grassy Glass Whistle boosted Grass-type moves by 10%!

The Double Pickle multiplied move power by 1.5x!

A massive Solar Beam was unleashed!

Solar Beam and Chloroblast collided head-on!

"A beam struggle?!"

The bright green energy of Chloroblast clashed fiercely against the blinding white power of Solar Beam.

The entire forest was illuminated by their radiant light!

At first, the two beams seemed evenly matched...

But soon, Chloroblast started to falter!

Thanks to the stacked multipliers, Solar Beam was overpowering it!

Hisuian Electrode's eyes widened in disbelief.

Solar Beam shouldn't have been stronger than its ultimate move...

But Chloroblast was shattering, breaking apart under the relentless force of Solar Beam!

The last thing Hisuian Electrode saw was a blinding flash of light.

"Mahruru...!"

Then, a massive explosion erupted!

Hisuian Electrode was blasted away, rolling far across the orchard before crashing heavily beneath a berry tree.

A shower of berries rained down from above.

As the dust settled, Hisuian Electrode's eyes spun into swirls—it had completely lost the battle!

『Congratulations! Petilil has learned a new move: Ingrain!』

Petilil stood frozen for a moment, staring at the fallen "final boss."

She had challenged this opponent countless times in the past...

And every single time, she had lost.

But this time... she had won?!

"Wawa! Wawawawa!"

Petilil suddenly bounced up and down with joy!

She turned around and leaped straight into Hikaru's arms, nuzzling against his face!

"Thank you! Thank you so much, Trainer!"
