"Could there be a large Fire Stone vein on Trial Island?" Qing Wu suddenly had this thought.
"How is that possible? If there really was a Fire Stone vein on Trial Island, Team Rocket would have mined it themselves long ago," Qing Wu chuckled to himself.
"Let's go, Kaminari. We need to leave here before sunset." The sun was already starting to dip.
Qing Wu had to get out of Arbok's territory before sunset, as many Ekans and Arbok were already becoming active.
The paralysis potion in Qing Wu's hand couldn't possibly hold back the swarming Arbok army.
Night soon fell, and Qing Wu brought Kaminari to the cave where they had sheltered before.
The cave was quite large, more than enough to accommodate two people.
The forest at night was still extremely dangerous, with many high-level Pokémon only appearing after dark.
"Kecleon, use Rock Tomb," Qing Wu instructed, and only after Kecleon sealed the entire cave entrance did he sigh.
A campfire had already been lit, and several strings of plump fish were roasting beside it.
"Kaminari, release Spinarak. I need to change its medicine." After Spinarak was released, it remained lying there, unmoving.
It seemed Spinarak had been too deeply hurt by the fat man.
"Its wounds have mostly healed, but I can't heal its broken spirit," Qing Wu sighed again.
"These are Bug Type specialized Poffins. Give Spinarak three a day," Qing Wu handed Kaminari some Poffins.
Spinarak watched the flickering campfire and the playful antics of Meowth and Electrike, while Kaminari's eyes were filled with doting affection.
Just then, a pale white paw reached out in front of Spinarak. Spinarak looked up.
It was Meowth. Meowth opened its paw, and a small piece of Poffin appeared before Spinarak.
"Meowth (Eat it, it's delicious. If you don't eat it, I'll throw it into the fire)," Meowth said proudly, its eyes full of care.
A fragrance emanated from the Poffin, and Spinarak could no longer resist the temptation. It swallowed it in one gulp, but in its haste, it choked.
Meowth then used a large leaf to collect some spring water. After gulping it down, Spinarak felt a little better.
"This Meowth is very good," Qing Wu observed, seeing everything Meowth had done.
"No wonder Kaminari went mad after Meowth died, and even Electrike became so cold.
Such a beloved member of the group should live a long life." Meowth was also a Pokémon with a long lifespan.
Qing Wu examined Meowth's body and found that the residual toxins within Meowth had been completely expelled.
From now on, Meowth only needed to take Poffins regularly to restore its foundation.
This would allow Meowth's aptitude to return to green.
With Kaminari's arrival, Qing Wu was ready to start leveling up.
Near this cave were the territories of Arbok, Beautifly, and Pidgeotto, forming a triangle.
Just beyond Pidgeotto's forest, another two to three kilometers forward, lay Team Rocket's base.
Qing Wu distributed the prepared Poffins to everyone, and the cave filled with the sounds of chewing.
Kecleon and Zubat's appetites were also growing, and the Poffins were proving increasingly beneficial for them.
Qing Wu and Kaminari's dinner consisted of grilled fish and Orange Fruit, served with a bowl of spring water in a wooden bowl. They made do with what they had.
The next day, as soon as the sun rose, Qing Wu and Kaminari headed towards Beedrill's territory.
Beedrill's territory bordered Beautifly's.
At the border of their territories lay a vast expanse of beautiful flowers, where countless Beautifly and Beedrill danced, coexisting peacefully without disturbing each other.
"Let's start leveling up," Qing Wu said, directly approaching a Beedrill and having Kecleon begin its practice.
After defeating Arbok, Kecleon leveled up to Lv. 10. Kecleon had a natural advantage against Beedrill.
The Rock Type was naturally effective against Beedrill's Bug Type.
Furthermore, Kecleon's Steel Type made Beedrill's Poison attribute ineffective against it.
A Beedrill, busy collecting nectar, was knocked to the ground by a Rock Slide.
Attacking one Beedrill was like stirring up a hornet's nest; countless Beedrill flew over in swarms.
Their dual stingers glinted menacingly under the sun.
"Zubat, lure some of the Beedrill away," Qing Wu shouted to Zubat.
Zubat opened its mouth and directly confused a portion of the Beedrill.
"Kecleon, see if you can learn Rock Blast."
Qing Wu explained the move Rock Blast in detail to Kecleon, describing it as firing rocks like bullets.
Compared to Rock Tomb, which erupted from the ground, and Rock Slide, which fell from the sky, Rock Blast was a more offensive move.
Moreover, the exploding rocks could inflict secondary damage.
"Kaminari, you now have three Pokémon. You can have Meowth, Electrike, and Spinarak battle Beautifly."
"After all, Beautifly has a gentler disposition. You can offer these Poffins for Beautifly to try."
Qing Wu took out the scraps for making Poffins from his Bracelet.
Although they were scraps, their effects were no less than Poffins, just not as visually appealing.
Most of these Beedrill were around level [redacted], making them quite good experience for Kecleon.
Moreover, for Kecleon, which had used Iron Defense, the Beedrill's attacks were negligible.
The Beedrill's missile stingers striking Kecleon's body didn't even leave a white mark, let alone their stingers.
Qing Wu saw many Beedrill actively attacking, their stingers piercing Kecleon's body.
Kecleon took no damage, and the Beedrill, on the contrary, had their stingers broken by the recoil.
A Beedrill's stinger was also a consumable item; after breaking, a new one could grow within three days and be fully restored within fifteen days.
While attacking the Beedrill, Kecleon continuously used the Iron Defense skill to strengthen its physical defense.
Kecleon's base physical defense was already [redacted], and after being strengthened by Iron Defense, it increased significantly. Coupled with the fact that Beedrill were inherently Pokémon with high physical attack.
Therefore, Kecleon took almost [redacted] damage. Following Qing Wu's instructions, Kecleon concentrated the rock energy within its body.
Aiming at the Beedrill before it, a massive rock materialized out of thin air and smashed towards the Beedrill.
Unfortunately, the rock disintegrated into several pieces during its attack.
"Kecleon, remember this feeling. Compress the rock-type energy, and you can be faster."
Qing Wu saw Kecleon use Rock Blast, but the rock-type energy wasn't compressed completely.
It dispersed directly during flight, so he reminded Kecleon.
"Zubat, pay attention to controlling your speed," Qing Wu shouted, seeing Zubat playing with the Beedrill, making it dizzy, and getting carried away.
Kaminari, along with Meowth, challenged Beautifly.
{Beautifly (deep yellow), 22}
"This is a good Beautifly," Qing Wu concluded after scanning it with the system.
