Chapter 229: Florges's Grassy Field
Although Joyna's Cloyster had extinguished the flames with Rain Dance, the damage to the plants and trees was real.
Seeing the pitiful wild Pokémon, Yuga couldn't bear it. He turned to Florges and said, "Florges, use your Grassy Terrain."
Florges closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and emitted a dense green light from her body. Her outstretched arms generated waves of green light that spread outward, with her at the center.
Wave after wave of green energy spread out, touching the damaged plants and trees. Coupled with the water droplets left by Cloyster's Rain Dance, the vegetation began to sway gently, seemingly coming back to life.
After nurturing the grass, it was time for the trees. Responding to Florges's power, they started swaying their branches, absorbing the Grass-type energy brought by the Grassy Terrain. New leaves sprouted one after another.
At this moment, all the wild Pokémon bathed in the Grassy Terrain cheered joyously, celebrating the rebirth of their home.
However, Florges's strength wasn't sufficient for such an extensive task. Perhaps nurturing the forest consumed too much of her energy. Her green light suddenly shattered into dots, vanishing, and she knelt down, panting heavily.
As a result, the vegetation, which had been slowly recovering, came to a halt.
Yuga rushed over immediately, helping Florges to her feet, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Florges. Maybe I pushed you too hard."
Indeed, Florges's current power was insufficient to fully restore an entire forest after such devastation.
"Florges..." Florges shook her head gently while placing her right arm on Yuga's hand, showing understanding and forgiveness.
At this moment, the wild Pokémon that had gathered around them watched with concern, their savior looking weary.
Florges, standing once again, gazed at the homeless wild Pokémon and the surrounding environment. Her heart ached.
As a Garden Pokémon, she had a natural affinity for nurturing plants and loving nature. Seeing the dismal situation weighed heavily on her heart.
With determination, she pushed Yuga aside, her expression resolute, and activated her Grassy Terrain once more.
As the green light flickered again, Yuga looked on with worry, fearing that Florges couldn't bear the strain.
Previously, during the battle supporting Lucario against Latias, she had already been fatigued. Forcing her to overexert herself now could have serious consequences on her health.
However, this was a decision made by Florges herself, and Yuga couldn't stop her. He could only quietly support her from behind, silently cheering her on.
At this point, the wild Pokémon also realized that helping them restore their homeland was a significant burden on Florges. They all looked nervous and worried, no longer as jubilant as they were initially.
With Florges's Grassy Terrain in effect, the plants and trees began to grow and sprout again, albeit at a slow pace. Nevertheless, the results were promising.
However, in the presence of all the Pokémon, including Yuga, no one felt happy because Florges's forehead was covered in sweat.
Suddenly, a commotion arose among the wild Pokémon. Before long, a large group of Grass-type Pokémon, including Oddish, Gloom, Tangela, Bellsprout, Paras, and Parasect, emerged. They quickly surrounded Florges, pushing Yuga to the side.
These Grass-type Pokémon started emitting green energy threads that connected to Florges, who appeared to receive a burst of energy as if she were revitalized.
Seeing this, Yuga widened his eyes in amazement. What was happening? Were these Grass-type Pokémon absorbing energy in reverse? Yuga felt like he was witnessing something extraordinary.
With the assistance of these Grass-type Pokémon, the vitality in Florges's Grassy Terrain became even more vigorous. The plants began to grow faster, and the burden on Florges lessened.
Yuga thought that at this rate, the forest would soon return to its original state.
However, things couldn't be that easy. These wild Grass-type Pokémon were too weak, and they couldn't sustain their efforts for long. One by one, they collapsed under the immense energy demand of the entire forest.
Seeing this, Yuga grew increasingly anxious, especially since Florges appeared to struggle more.
Finally, all the wild Grass-type Pokémon fell, leaving Florges with no support. She had to rely solely on her strength again.
Just as the forest was nearly restored, Florges didn't want to give up at this crucial moment. She gritted her teeth and increased her energy output.
Eventually, when the forest had mostly recovered, Florges collapsed, falling to the ground.
"Florges!" Yuga pushed aside the Grass-type Pokémon surrounding them, cradling the unconscious Florges in his arms and urgently administered a potion to restore her strength.
At this moment, all the wild Pokémon gathered around Yuga and Florges, their expressions filled with gratitude.
While Yuga anxiously called out to the unconscious Florges, a strange sound suddenly echoed throughout the entire forest. Subsequently, all the trees began to emit a green fluorescent glow, like fireflies, and these glows drifted toward their savior, Florges.
Not only the trees but also the grasslands, flowers, and even the entire island seemed to respond to Florges. It was as if they had formed a mysterious connection with her. Countless life energies came from all directions, pouring into Florges's body.
Finally, Florges slowly opened her eyes.
For some reason, Yuga noticed that there was something different about her now.
