The quiet serenity of Ashwin's farm was shattered by a distant rumble that vibrated through the earth. The leaves on the nearby trees trembled as an ominous growl rolled from the dense forest surrounding his home.
Ashwin's heart quickened. The system countdown had reached zero.
His gaze snapped to the treeline where a large shadow moved with heavy, purposeful steps.
"Everyone, prepare yourselves!" Ashwin called out, his voice steady but urgent.
His Pokémon, scattered across the farm, immediately responded. Combee buzzed rapidly to Ashwin's side; Skwovet and Zigzagoon flanked the edges, alert and ready. Bidoof squared its sturdy frame in front of the others, a living shield. Turtwig and Bounsweet readied supportive moves, their eyes sharp and focused.
From the dense foliage, a massive Ursaring emerged, its tawny fur bristling and claws scraping the earth with thunderous force. At Level 28, the field boss was imposing—its muscular body radiated raw power, eyes blazing with territorial fury.
Ashwin felt the weight of the moment. This was no ordinary wild Pokémon — this was the guardian of these woods, awakened and disturbed by the subtle changes around his farm.

Ashwin quickly analyzed the battlefield.
"Combee, focus on distracting its eyes! Skwovet and Zigzagoon, flank it from left and right. Bidoof, be the shield—hold its attention. Turtwig, prepare Razor Leaf to strike when I say!"
The small female Combee zipped forward with rapid wing beats, targeting Ursaring's piercing eyes with sharp stings.
Skwovet darted in, teeth snapping at Ursaring's forelegs, while Zigzagoon zigzagged nimbly, evading heavy swipes to land quick scratches on its flanks.
Bidoof planted itself firmly, absorbing the massive claws' strikes with surprising resilience.
Ursaring roared in frustration and swiped its massive paw in a wide arc, shaking the ground.
Bidoof took the brunt of the attack but held fast, its sturdy body cushioning the blow to protect the more vulnerable teammates.
Turtwig seized the moment, charging forward and launching a razor-sharp volley of leaves. The blades cut through the air and landed on Ursaring's exposed side with a satisfying crack.
Zigzagoon's swift Slash followed up, aiming for a vulnerable joint near Ursaring's rear leg.
Combee's persistent stings buzzed against the boss's face, forcing it to shake its head and momentarily lose focus.
The battle stretched on, muscles burned, but Ashwin's team moved with growing coordination.
"Keep at it! Don't let Ursaring rest!"
Skwovet darted in and out, testing the boss's defenses, while Bounsweet used Sweet Scent to calm the surrounding area, attempting to slow the field boss's movements.
Ashwin felt a surge of pride. The team's combined effort was starting to turn the tide.
[Combee Stamina: 75% → 70%][Skwovet Strength: 80% → 75%][Bidoof Defense: 80% → 75%][Turtwig Endurance: 70% → 65%][Zigzagoon Stealth: 80% → 75%][Bounsweet Coordination: 80% → 75%]
Spotting Ursaring's fatigue, Ashwin seized the moment.
"Turtwig, Razor Leaf—full force! Zigzagoon, Slash right after!"
Turtwig's leaves shimmered emerald bright as it sent a powerful stream of razor edges slicing through the air.
Zigzagoon launched itself forward in a blur, claws flashing, striking the boss's exposed flank.
Ursaring staggered back with a thunderous growl, its strength finally broken. It turned and retreated into the shadows of the forest, leaving the farm in an uneasy silence.
Ashwin's breathing was heavy but steady as he gathered his team.
"Excellent work, everyone. You fought well today."
He carefully examined each Pokémon, tending minor scrapes with gentle hands and soft words.
