Chapter 107 The Setting Sun
Chapter 107 The Setting Sun
What surprised Guihai even more was that this Venusaur was constantly radiating tremendous energy.
Its energy level is much stronger than his current Champion-level Gengar.
This is a champion-level Venusaur!
Guihai used the system to scan this champion Venusaur.
The scanned data quickly appeared on the light blue screen in front of me.

Evaluation: The guardian of the Bulbasaur clan, a champion nearing the end due to accumulated hidden injuries and advancing age.
As Guihai looked at the various stats of this Venusaur, the surprise in his eyes changed repeatedly.
At first, he was surprised by the strength and original understanding of this Venusaur.
Then he was surprised by the gadgets that the Venusaur was wearing.
Finally, he looked at the system's final evaluation and was speechless.
Ye Bo didn't notice the ever-changing expressions on Gui Hai's face. As soon as he entered, he focused all his attention on Venusaur.
An elderly figure walked up to the tank-sized Venusaur, reached out and touched its skin with pale blue patterns, a smile on its face.
"Old buddy, how are you?"
"flower."
Venusaur had already noticed Ye Bo's appearance, and lazily opened its mouth and called out softly as it watched him.
Looking at the elderly couple, Gui Hai guessed why Ye Bo had changed so much.
Pokémon also grow old and die.
Right now, Ye Bo's Venusaur, like himself, is getting old.
It might even perish before it at any time.
It's no wonder that Ye Bo suddenly underwent such a drastic change, given that his friends and family who fought side by side with him have turned out like this.
If his Gengar or other Pokémon were to leave him, Guihai felt that he would be even more heartbroken than Yebo.
Ye Bo chatted with Venusaur for a few minutes, then turned around and called out to Guihai again, "I'm sorry, Prosecutor Guihai, as you can see, I'm not in the mood for battle right now. I just want to spend more time with it."
Guihai looked at Yebo and Bulbasaur, who were also quite old, and said apologetically, "I should be the one apologizing. I was presumptuous."
Ye Bo smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing. Challenging stronger opponents is a trainer's nature. I was about the same as you when I was young."
Traveling around with Venusaur and the others, challenging gyms—looking back, that period really was one of our most enjoyable times.
Seeing Ye Bo lost in his memories, Gui Hai did not disturb him.
A few minutes later, Ye Bo suddenly looked at Gui Hai with burning eyes: "Prosecutor Gui Hai, may I ask you for a favor?"
Gui Hai looked at Ye Bo's somewhat pleading eyes and asked, "What is it?"
Then Gui Hai saw Ye Bo reach into his pocket and pull out a stone.
The stone is about the size of a lychee, with a rainbow-like spiral pattern inside.
That was a keystone.
"I heard you discovered a brand new evolutionary form, and I'd like to know if this new evolutionary form can improve Venusaur's condition."
As Ye Bo spoke, he took out another stone that looked similar to a Key Stone from under Venusaur's neck.
"When I heard about this new evolution method, I asked my friend to help me collect items that are compatible with Venusaur."
However, this evolutionary method has not been publicly disclosed, and the League's research has encountered many problems. I dare not try it rashly with Venusaur.
Now that you're here, I wanted to ask if this evolution method would improve Venusaur's condition?
As Ye Bo spoke, his eyes were fixed on Gui Hai, wanting to get a definite answer from him.
Gui Hai felt somewhat uncomfortable being stared at like that.
At the same time, he couldn't say that Mega Evolution couldn't help Venusaur prolong its lifespan.
So he fell silent.
Ye Bo waited a long time for Gui Hai's reply, and the hope in his eyes gradually faded.
His back became even more hunched.
Sensing Ye Bo's feelings, Venusaur extended a vine from the flowers and leaves behind it and gently patted Ye Bo's shoulder.
"flower."
Ye Bo took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Venusaur, I'm fine."
Looking at that smile, Guihai's mood also became somewhat depressed.
He glanced at Venusaur and Ye Bo, and sighed inwardly.
Such things are inevitable in the world of Pokémon.
Even though there are all sorts of mythical beasts in this world, some of them even have the ability to resurrect.
But birth, aging, sickness, and death are the rules of this world.
It is something no one can defy.
After thinking for a moment, Guihai exchanged some healing potions from his system that could remove hidden injuries.
"Gym Leader Ye, the reason your Venusaur entered this state so quickly is largely because the hidden injuries in its body have erupted."
These healing medicines are very effective at healing and relieving pain, and should be quite helpful for Venusaur.
As he spoke, Guihai handed the medicine to Mimikyu Q, asking it to pass it to Ye Bo.
Ye Bo looked at the medicine Mimikyu handed him, didn't refuse, and accepted it with a smile.
However, he knew that those healing medicines might be useful, but they were not elixirs of immortality. Venusaur and he were both too old, and even if their internal injuries were healed, they wouldn't live much longer.
Looking at Ye Bo's current state.
Guihai took his leave.
Since Ye Bo was no longer willing to battle, his idea of training his Pokémon here fell through.
Staying here wouldn't help, so Guihai thought he'd better leave sooner rather than later.
Watching this scene made both him and his Pokémon feel a tightness in their chests.
Leaving the Bulbasaur Sanctuary, Guihai watched the sun slowly set in the west and felt a chill around him.
The Iron Man suit rose from the shadows and enveloped him.
Two sword sheaths were attached to his back, and ribbons held him in place.
Two Azure Flame Blade Demons appeared on his left and right sides like guards, their flames swaying slightly above their heads.
Mimikyu and Rotom's helmets were perched on his shoulders, watching him.
The shadow on the ground also lit up with a pair of scarlet pupils.
The Pokémon in the Ghost Sea were also moved by what happened between Ye Bo and Venusaur, and some of them were filled with emotion.
They all used this method to express their feelings.
Guihai didn't say anything, but simply reached out and touched Mimikyu's little belly.
Then, ignoring the strange looks from passersby, he walked away step by step into the distance.
I didn't do anything today.
But time flies, and before we knew it, it was already evening.
The sun is about to set...
