The Pokémon being attacked in the distance from Eichi included a Beedrill colony, Butterfree, Venonat, Ariados, Raticate, Oddish... and other Pokémon.

The stronger Pokémon among them had been defeated and captured, while the rest had been forced into a corner.

To prevent them from escaping, Pokémon had been stationed all around to intercept them.

Some of the timid Pokémon had already given up resisting and huddled together, trembling.

It was clear that this was a small Poaching Gang. They did not have the strength to catch particularly rare or powerful Pokémon.

They could only catch ordinary Pokémon to sell, relying on small profits and high volume.

At that moment, Eichi's Poké Ball began shaking violently.

Eichi released Metapod. The moment it came out, Metapod stared fixedly at the poachers.

Eichi looked over again and saw that many Beedrill were among the targets of the Poaching Gang.

They had been brutally targeted. Some had been captured, while others had been killed.

Most of the Pokémon being attacked were Bug-type Pokémon.

Eichi froze. This was the first time he had seen Pokémon being killed right in front of him, and some of them were Metapod's own kind.

In his previous life, Eichi had especially loved Pokémon and thought they were incredibly adorable living beings.

After transmigrating, Eichi had felt very happy because he finally had Pokémon of his own.

Especially after obtaining Weedle, he had grown increasingly fond of the Bug-type Pokémon everyone looked down on.

But now, they were being slaughtered right before Eichi's eyes. A group of innocent lives had been killed by a group of greedy humans.

A nameless fire suddenly surged into his heart, and Eichi was consumed by rage.

His fists clenched tightly. Eichi wished he could rush out right now and punch those arrogant faces.

Reason forced Eichi to calm down. Going out now would accomplish nothing and might even get him killed.

Eichi had never been this angry before. His whole body felt terrible.

He wanted to defeat those people. He wanted to make them pay.

Metapod watched the scene before it with bloodshot eyes. Nothing was more infuriating than watching its own kind being slaughtered.

It had never desired evolution as desperately as it did today. It wanted to save those Bug-type Pokémon.

It would make those humans pay!!

Amid its boundless rage, a stream of green energy surged out from Eichi's body.

Metapod beside him frantically absorbed the green energy.

Then Eichi sensed something strange as well. He felt a stream of energy pouring out from within him, and this energy was under his control.

Having read countless novels, Eichi immediately understood what to do and quickly placed both hands on Metapod.

He controlled the energy within his body and poured it into Metapod.

Eichi's eyes could see through Metapod's body, where its internal energy was reacting wildly.

Every part of its body absorbed the energy and began its final transformation.

Metapod's aura continued to rise. When the transformation within its body reached its limit—

A crack opened along Metapod's back, and a burst of white light shone out from within.

Metapod began to evolve. Slowly, a creature resembling a large yellow hornet crawled out of the shell, except it had only four legs instead of six.

Its body was divided into three segments.

Its head was rather round, its mouth pointed, and its eyes round and red.

It had two antennae.

Its abdomen was very round, with all four legs attached to it.

Its tail was striped yellow and black, with a Poison Sting at the tip.

Its legs were long and slender, while its hands bore large, thick white needles.

It had two pairs of wings on its back, covered in intricate patterns.

This was Beedrill. After waiting for over a month, Beedrill had finally evolved.

The moment Eichi's Beedrill evolved, it was larger, sturdier, and more handsome than other Beedrill.

Its two ruby-like eyes were filled with killing intent.

The Twin Needles on its hands made anyone feel a deadly threat.

Even from a distance, this Beedrill gave off an exceptionally sharp aura.

Eichi saw a ball of green flame inside Beedrill's body, about the size of an adult's fist.

There was also a stream of energy circling around the flame.

Eichi looked toward the Poaching Gang again and discovered that his eyesight had somehow improved. He could see the distant situation with perfect clarity.

The Rattata Poaching Gang had a total of sixteen Pokémon.

Each person had two Pokémon. Their Pokémon included Arbok, Zubat, Geodude, Houndoom, Pidgeot, Primeape, and Weezing.

Everyone had two Pokémon each, except for Arbok, of which there was only one, and it was the strongest.

It was the one holding back all the slightly stronger Pokémon.

Eichi saw that the green flame inside the strongest Arbok was only the size of an egg, and the energy surrounding it was slightly less than Beedrill's.

Then there were the other Pokémon. Most of the green flames inside them were only the size of marbles, with barely any energy circling around them.

After seeing this, Eichi understood that this was the ability of his cheat ability, but he had no mood to investigate it right now.

His cheat ability was of no use at the moment, and he had no time to worry about it. The most important thing now was defeating the poachers.

The evolved Beedrill was just about to dart out and attack the poachers.

Eichi immediately stopped it. "Wait, Beedrill. You can't rush out yet. There are too many of them.

We need to make a proper plan."

Eichi then forced himself and Beedrill to calm down and carefully analyze the situation.

There were eight people in the Poaching Gang in total: one woman and seven men.

Their Pokémon did not include any particularly strong ones. The strongest was probably that Arbok.

The reason they were so fearless was because of those three high-tech weapons.

To protect themselves, the three people each had two Pokémon guarding them.

As long as they destroyed those three high-tech weapons, the poachers would no longer have anything capable of posing a fatal threat to Beedrill.

Eichi stroked Beedrill's head, and a stream of information came from Beedrill.

Beedrill was communicating with Eichi. His cheat ability actually had this function too.

Beedrill told Eichi that after evolving, it had immediately learned six moves: Focus Energy, Twin Needles, Rage, Fury Attack, Pin Missile, and Agility.

Among them, Agility was a move normally learned at level thirty-eight.

However, Eichi had raised his Beedrill so well that it had learned Agility ahead of time.

If these moves were used properly, they could overturn the entire situation.

Eichi first used his communicator to report the situation to the police, then said to Beedrill, "In a moment, Beedrill, use Focus Energy first.

Then use Agility to rush over and destroy one machine with Twin Needles.

Finally, use Pin Missile to destroy the other two. After that, you can attack freely."

"But protect yourself!"

"You have to succeed, or we'll be in trouble."

Beedrill nodded coolly.

"Go, Beedrill! It's all up to you."

Before the group noticed anything, Eichi gave the order, and Beedrill shot out like an arrow.
