"Aerodactyl, use Fire Fang!"
Aerodactyl flapped its wings and swiftly approached Venusaur, its fla-wreathed teeth sinking deep into the ancient king's thigh with devastating force.
"Venusaur—!"
The sovereign cried out in agony, then sixteen massive vines rged into a single, colossal green tendril that struck Aerodactyl's body with earth-shaking power. The impact sent the Sky King hurtling through the air, though it managed to steady itself just before an embarrassing crash landing.
"Power Whip? Impressive," Red praised, his eyes gleaming with tactical appreciation.
'Not only can it control natural power, but it also has twice as many vines as an ordinary Venusaur. What an unfathomable opponent.'
According to widespread research by nurous Pokémon professors, the number of vines a Bulbasaur could command depended on its evolutionary stage. Ordinary Bulbasaur could use two Vine Whips, evolved Ivysaur could manage four vines, and the final evolution, Venusaur, could control eight vines.
But the king Venusaur of the Mysterious Garden was no ordinary specin—it could command a full sixteen Vine Whips!
Drawing upon erald natural power, Venusaur gathered a pulsing green energy sphere in its massive maw. Under the ancient creature's precise control, the Energy Ball shot toward Aerodactyl like a guided missile.
"Wing Attack!"
The projectile's speed was formidable, rapidly closing the distance to its aerial target.
Upon receiving Red's command, Aerodactyl spread its wings wide, releasing brilliant white energy as it used Wing Attack to cleave the Energy Ball cleanly in half. The two halves plumted to the ground, detonating in twin explosions that shook the entire garden.
Fortunately, the watching Ivysaurs weren't foolish. Seeing the falling trajectory of the split attack, they imdiately scattered to avoid the blast radius.
"The warm-up phase is over, Venusaur!" Red declared, his voice carrying across the battlefield as he threw the ga Stone toward Aerodactyl, then pressed the Key Stone embedded in the back of his hand. "Prepare to face the power of my bond with Aerodactyl!"
"Break through your shackles, return to your origins! Answer my call, Aerodactyl—ga Evolve!"
The light of their bond ford a brilliant connection between Red and Aerodactyl. The ancient predator fell into a mont of profound contemplation as power surged through its being.
'This! This is the form I should have had!'
The brilliant light faded, revealing the transford Aerodactyl to everyone. Compared to its previous appearance, ga Aerodactyl showed relatively subtle but significant changes.
Its original claws were now encased in razor-sharp stone blades, three spike-like protrusions grew from the end of its tail, its jaw and forehead horns were reinforced with stone armor, spikes erged from the ends of its talons, and its entire spike-covered body radiated an aura of enhanced physical prowess.
'How should I put it... Aerodactyl's ga Evolution feels sowhat understated...' Red mused privately.

Known Moves: Ancient Power, Wing Attack, Supersonic, Iron Head, Crunch, Stone Edge, Agility, Fire Fang, Flathrower, Psychic Fangs, Dragon Claw...

Biography: Leader of the Aerodactyl clan in ancient tis, known as the Sky King of its era, apex predator of the ancient food chain. Often flew while crying loudly to intimidate prey that intended to resist. Skilled at using saw-like teeth to bite through opponents' throats. Previously had stress reactions to fresh blood and at, but overca its inner beast instincts through Viridian Power and Professor Oak's treatnt.
"ga Evolution?!" all three of Ash's group exclaid simultaneously, staring at the transford Aerodactyl with expressions of pure amazent. None of them had ever witnessed a ga Evolved Pokémon before, making ga Aerodactyl a source of intense curiosity.
Since they were still in the midst of battle, Red temporarily refrained from explaining the origins of ga Evolution to Ash's group, instead focusing on Venusaur with growing intrigue.
Because Venusaur's eyes showed no shock, but rather... surprise.
That's right, surprise rather than shock. This expression revealed that Venusaur was already aware of ga Evolution's existence.
"Venusaur—!"
Under everyone's witness, the ancient king roared again, then began absorbing the natural power surrounding the garden. Covered by erald energy, Venusaur also began to transform.
"There's actually a ga Stone embedded in that flower pistil?!" Red said in amazent, discovering brilliant light emanating from the massive bloom on Venusaur's back and sensing the unmistakable presence of a ga Stone.
'What an unexpected developnt, but this feels right...'
The brilliant light faded, revealing ga Venusaur in all its glory.
ga Venusaur's back flower had grown even more massive, and the increased weight had made its supporting trunk and legs proportionally stronger to bear the load.
The "trunk" supporting the giant flower was longer than before evolution. From its base still grew four giant leaves resembling banana fronds, extending toward the left front, right front, left rear, and right rear, with an additional ring of four green leaves sprouting around them.
Four thick vines hung down from the central trunk, their other ends connected to the bases of the surrounding leaves. The flower pistil had fewer pointed tips, the petals were lighter in color, and white triangular marks pointing toward the flower's center replaced the previous irregular white spots.
Two six-petaled pink flowers blood on its forehead and back, respectively, and three dark green marks—one diamond and two triangles—appeared prominently on its forehead.
"Venusaur ga Evolved too!" Ash said in amazent, his voice filled with awe as he stared at the transford sovereign.
Sharp leaves swept across the entire battlefield like a devastating storm, the Petal Blizzard composed of razor-edged foliage rapidly attacking Aerodactyl in the sky.
"Fly higher and use Flathrower!" Red commanded with tactical precision.
ga Aerodactyl rapidly flapped its enhanced wings to gain altitude, releasing blazing flas from its mouth and incinerating the incoming leaves to ash before they could reach it.
"Aerodactyl can use Flathrower too?" Ash asked in confusion, looking to Brock for clarification.
"Ahem!" Brock straightened up, preparing to provide proper theoretical knowledge. "In principle, Flathrower is simply the controlled release of flas, and since Aerodactyl can master Fire Fang, it should naturally be capable of learning Flathrower as well."
"I see!" Ash said, pounding his right fist into his left palm with sudden understanding.
'That dragon's moves aren't bad to use...' Aerodactyl thought briefly, before Charizard's smug face flashed through its mind. The previously confident Sky King's expression imdiately fell, and it shook its head vigorously in frustration.
Venusaur hadn't expected Aerodactyl to have mastered such a perfectly targeted move. Being cautious, it chose not to attack imdiately, instead drawing upon natural power and using Growth.
Venusaur's entire form expanded again, its Attack and Special Attack increasing by one stage as raw power coursed through its enhanced body.
"Aerodactyl, use Agility, then Psychic Fangs!" Red commanded, his strategic mind already adapting to the new battlefield conditions.
ga Venusaur's ability was Thick Fat, rendering the previous Fire-type moves far less effective. Therefore, Red directed Aerodactyl to use the equally super-effective Psychic Fangs, exploiting Venusaur's secondary Poison typing.
The reason for the power disparity between the two ga Evolved titans was simple yet decisive: while Venusaur could only possess one ability, ga Aerodactyl simultaneously wielded three distinct abilities. This was the absolute advantage that would determine the battle's outco.
