The Mysterious Garden (Japanese: ふしぎのはなぞの Mysterious Flower Garden) is an animated series-exclusive location in Kanto that appeared in Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden. It's a location where Bulbasaur from all over the world are said to gather every year for a festival to evolve into Ivysaur en masse.

History

When Ash's Bulbasaur started showing signs of evolving, a group of wild Bulbasaur forcibly brought it to the Mysterious Garden, prompting Ash and his friends to follow. A Venusaur appeared from a giant tree and cried out as all the wild Bulbasaur evolved into Ivysaur. However, Ash's Bulbasaur refused to evolve, angering Venusaur, which tried to hit it with Vine Whip, but Ash took the blow and defended Bulbasaur's right to stay unevolved if it so chose. Team Rocket subsequently appeared and tried to capture all of the Ivysaur, but Ash's Bulbasaur managed to save them by using its newly learned Solar Beam, after which the villainous trio was sent blasting off by a collective Vine Whip from all the Bulbasaur evolutionary line members. Accepting Bulbasaur's choice, Venusaur and the Ivysaur then let it leave the Mysterious Garden without evolving alongside Ash and his friends.
