Even Tetsuya felt that the way this Breloom looked at him was very strange, but he could not explain exactly why…
"Bullet Seed!"
Jacky gave the command. During these past few days, he had already witnessed Golett's agile movements.
Jacky absolutely could not allow Golett to attack first!
Bullet Seed shot out powerfully. Under Breloom's Technician Ability, its power was pushed even further to the limit.
Naturally, Tetsuya himself had also noticed that this Breloom was far from simple. He could only let Golett proceed step by step.
"Golett, use Fire Punch."
Golett swung both fists, two massive fireballs along with them, and all the Bullet Seed attacks were burned away.
However, Breloom's Bullet Seed actually became fiercer and fiercer, the firing frequency becoming increasingly faster.
Even while using Fire Punch, Golett began retreating continuously.
Tetsuya nodded. At last, Golett had encountered an opponent.
"Shadow Punch."
Golett also used its STAB, Shadow Punch. As Shadow Punch swung out, it felt as though an invisible eerie wind had blown past, incomparably terrifying. Amid the black shadows, the energy fully unfolded, and the Bullet Seed attacks were consequently blocked as well.
Bullet Seed and Shadow Punch entered a stalemate.
Breloom's STAB move Bullet Seed, combined with the Technician Ability, could maximize its power, while Golett's STAB move Shadow Punch, combined with the Iron Fist Ability, could likewise fully unleash its power.
Neither Pokémon gave way to the other. This continued for around four minutes, and still no superiority could be seen between these two moves.
Naturally, Jacky also discovered the "enigma" within this, but he already had a plan in mind.
"Worry Seed."
Jacky said calmly.
Tetsuya was surprised. This Breloom had actually inherited Worry Seed!
The move Worry Seed could temporarily change the opponent's Ability into Insomnia. For some Pokémon, this move was harmless. If it were Pokémon like Slaking, they would instead thank the opponent for changing their Ability.
However, for Golett, once it lost the Iron Fist Ability, it would immediately fall into a disadvantageous position.
Evasion was the only option!
Golett dodged left and righ while avoiding these seeds.
However, Breloom fired moves very quickly, and Golett's dodging speed was also very fast. Yet through one moment of carelessness, Golett stepped onto a Worry Seed that had just fallen onto the ground and had not yet disappeared.
Immediately, Golett felt mentally unsettled, while its entire body also became somewhat restless, unable to calm down.
"Leech Seed!"
Jacky slightly smiled, feeling that the opportunity had arrived. As long as Leech Seed hit, not only could it restrain Golett's movements, it could also continuously devour its energy. In this way, Jacky could completely place himself in an undefeatable position!
"Magic Coat."
Tetsuya did not take it seriously at all. A move like Leech Seed would naturally be reflected back by Magic Coat.
A purple energy shield protected Golett's entire body as all the fired Leech Seed were reflected back. Although Leech Seed would not produce the effect of absorbing energy from Grass-type Pokémon, it would still temporarily restrain them. Therefore, it was not as simple as Grass-type Pokémon merely being immune to Leech Seed.
Breloom leaped left and right as it also avoided the reflected Leech Seed.
Jacky was also very helpless. This Golett actually knew Magic Coat. It was simply far too abnormal, and his tactics had also failed…
"Bullet Seed!"
Jacky's battle experience had also greatly improved. He would not allow a single failed move to affect his normal judgment.
Right now, Golett had temporarily lost its Iron Fist Ability, which was precisely Jacky's opportunity to attack.
Bullet Seed shot out once again, its momentum completely no weaker than before. No matter from which direction, Breloom's Bullet Seed would sweep over, and this Breloom's speed was completely no slower than Golett's.
Left with no choice, Golett could only once again use Shadow Punch to defend itself, but Golett without the Iron Fist Ability was already unable to withstand this Breloom.
Indeed, this Breloom's strength exceeded Tetsuya's expectations; also, that gaze looked as though it wanted to kill him…
After a brief stalemate, Shadow Punch was completely broken through, and Golett was continuously hit by Bullet Seed.
Breloom's attacks did not pause in the slightest. Above Golett's head had already appeared something resembling a large seed, fully as big as a Watmel Berry.
Seed Bomb violently smashed to the ground, causing an explosion, and Golett had no time to evade.
The sudden explosion left Golett completely dazed, continuously shaking its head.
"Use High Horsepower to get close to Breloom."
Golett curled itself into a ball and rolled toward Breloom, kicking up clouds of dust.
"Breloom, use Bullet Seed with all your power!"
Jacky and Breloom both clearly understood that once Golett got close, victory or defeat would become uncertain. After all, Breloom's close-range moves were mostly Fighting-type, and at short distance Bullet Seed would also be difficult to fully utilize.
Therefore, Breloom absolutely had to intercept Golett!
Green seeds struck Golett's body like bullets, crackling noisily. At this moment, Breloom had one leg forward while the other braced against the ground. Its fists were tightly clenched as it had already exerted all of its might.
Under Bullet Seed's barrage, Golett could not advance even the slightest bit.
High Horsepower was clearly about to fail!
Suddenly, sunlight shone upon Golett's body as dazzling white light burst from all over it. Even the entire grassland became shrouded in white light…
It evolved!
During the process of Evolution, some of the energy within Golett's body was also unsealed. Otherwise, the original Golett that had been covered in five layers of energy would already have been insufficient to cover Golurk.
Golurk's height and weight were both nearly three times that of Golett.
The white light gradually returned to where Golett had originally stood.
Now, a three-meter-tall Golurk stood there imposingly, naturally radiating majesty!
It truly deserved to be called a guardian deity that ancient people used to protect humans and Pokémon.
Golurk could fly at mach speed!
It possessed transformation abilities. Its legs could retract into its body, turning its waist into a propulsion mechanism and transforming into flight form. In flight form, both hands could move normally, or they could retract into the wrists to form two secondary propulsion mechanisms.
What Tetsuya needed was precisely Golurk's kind of ability, so he naturally remembered it clearly. Moreover, Golurk was absolutely loyal toward its master¹[1]!
There was no need for Tetsuya to say anything further. The current Golurk gave people the feeling that it could crush Breloom to death with a single step!
Golurk retracted both legs as its entire body launched forward like a rocket.
This was Golurk's High Horsepower… rocket-powered High Horsepower!
