Under the temptation of the Poffin, Beautifly agreed to have a match with Meowth, and countless Silver Winds descended upon the battlefield.
Countless flowers were sliced in half by Silver Wind, and countless petals drifted through the sky with the Silver Wind.
This colorful rain of flowers was truly beautiful.
Meowth extended the claws hidden beneath its fleshy paws. It pushed off the ground with both legs and quickly swiped at Beautifly.
Meowth was an extremely practical Pokémon. A powerful Meowth could even use the moves Thunderbolt and Surf.
Qing Wu suddenly noticed that Beautifly had appeared strangely behind Meowth and was using Tackle on it.
Meowth was struck in midair and plunged headfirst into the sea of flowers. Its entire body was wrapped in bits of grass and petals, leaving it covered in all sorts of colors.
"Was the move that Beautifly just used Aerial Ace?" Qing Wu thought happily.
Aerial Ace was an extremely practical attack-and-evasion move that allowed a Pokémon to circle behind its opponent and attack.
Qing Wu had still been racking his brains over how to find the Aerial Ace TM, and now it had practically been delivered to him on a pillow.
There were two ways to learn moves in the Pokémon World.
The first, and also the simplest, was through TMs with a limited number of uses. They contained demonstrations by experts in each move.
Pokémon could comprehend moves through the instruction provided by TMs.
The second was direct instruction from another Pokémon. This was the method most commonly used by wild Pokémon.
Upon seeing a Beautifly that knew Aerial Ace, Qing Wu's first thought was to capture it.
Unfortunately, a Pokémon with Deep Yellow Potential did not meet Qing Wu's requirements. Still, it could let Lei Ming capture this Beautifly.
This Beautifly knew both Silver Wind and Aerial Ace, and its potential was not weak either.
After Lei Ming captured it, it could immediately become an asset.
"Lei Ming, this Beautifly is pretty good. It has potential for training. You should think about it."
Qing Wu gave Lei Ming a casual suggestion, then said nothing more.
Qing Wu focused his attention on Kecleon and Zubat's training.
As the Rock-type energy continued to gather, Kecleon's Rock Blast could now fly in whichever direction Kecleon envisioned.
However, Kecleon still did not have a thorough understanding of the "blast" in Rock Blast.
The blasted rocks failed to inflict a second wave of damage. The main reason was that the rocks shattered too finely, allowing Beedrill to dodge them easily.
Beedrill could be considered one of the more formidable Bug Type Pokémon.
When traveling, ordinary Trainers were most likely to encounter Beedrill.
However, Beedrill's juvenile forms, Weedle and Kakuna, had virtually no offensive power.
Aside from attacking enemies with the horn on its head, Weedle could also use String Shot and Tackle.
Once it evolved into Kakuna, apart from gaining Harden, it was even worse than Metapod.
After all, Bug Type expert Abe from the Johto Region had an incredibly powerful Metapod.
After special training, its movement speed was astonishingly fast. Combined with Harden, String Shot, and Tackle, it could even knock out Ash's Chikorita.
Kakuna would spit out silk and hang from a tree, usually protected by Beedrill.
At the slightest disturbance, it would sacrifice its potential and evolve rapidly into Beedrill to fight.
Once upon a time, there had not been many Trainers who used Beedrill in battle. The only one who left a deep impression on Qing Wu was Boss Sakaki.
The Beedrill he trained could even defeat powerful Dragon-type Pokémon such as Dragonite, especially after Beedrill gained the ability to undergo Mega Evolution.
People in the Pokémon World took pride in owning Beedrill, even though Beedrill's Mega Stones were not commonly seen.
When Kecleon and Zubat fought Beedrill, the Beedrill were generally around levels 17 or 18, making the experience they provided extremely valuable.
Sometimes, Zubat would even provoke Beautifly, triggering a mass pursuit by the Beautifly.
Several more days passed like this. Kecleon finally mastered Rock Blast, while Zubat mastered Aerial Ace.
"Kecleon, use Rock Blast!" Qing Wu called to Kecleon.
Kecleon confidently looked at the five or six Beedrill surrounding it, constantly firing twin gun-like attacks at it.
Clink, clank! Not even a white mark appeared on Kecleon's body before a huge rock burst from the ground.
It charged toward the nearest Beedrill. The rock slammed heavily into Beedrill, then shattered into five smaller rocks.
The five rocks struck the Beedrill nearby with pinpoint accuracy. In an instant, the Beedrill fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Go, Poké Ball!" Seeing a Beedrill with Orange Potential, Qing Wu threw a Poké Ball.
Over the past few days, Qing Wu had continuously used the system to scan Pokémon potential. Unfortunately, nearly all the Beedrill he scanned had Red Potential.
After finally finding a Pokémon with Orange Potential, Qing Wu hurriedly captured it. He could exchange it for quite a few points at Team Rocket's Exchange Office.
Qing Wu's principle was that the Pokémon in his possession had to have Green Quality or higher.
After Kecleon learned Rock Blast, it thoroughly beat up all the Beedrill gathering nectar in the flower sea.
Kecleon had also become the scourge of the flower sea. The Beedrill that had been beaten would flee from a distance whenever they saw Kecleon.
Qing Wu saw that Kecleon's level had also risen to level �.
"Let's go, Kecleon and Zubat. We'll take a look around the Beedrill territory and see if there's anything good."
Qing Wu was no longer afraid of attacks from Beedrill. Zubat and Kecleon could deal with them completely.
"Lei Ming, we'll part ways here. See you at the Team Rocket base."
Qing Wu had already shown Lei Ming the greatest goodwill he could, and he was not Lei Ming's caretaker. As a member of Team Rocket, Lei Ming naturally had to be independent.
Qing Wu calculated the Pokémon he had that could be exchanged for points: one Bellsprout with Green Quality, two Oddish with Orange Potential, three Beedrill with Red Potential, one Beedrill with Orange Potential, and two Arbok with Orange Potential.
Bellsprout was not a Pokémon Qing Wu liked. He regarded it only as a tool for extracting raw materials, so if possible,
Qing Wu would exchange it for Pokémon with other people. As for the Arbok that knew Death Makeup Technique, Qing Wu planned to keep it for the time being.
In his previous life, Qing Wu's Arbok had not known Death Makeup Technique, so Qing Wu wanted to study the secret behind Arbok's use of Death Makeup Technique.
As it happened, these two Arbok were one male and one female, so Qing Wu planned to have them reproduce.
He would then study whether Death Makeup Technique could be passed down through inheritance.
Qing Wu walked around the Beedrill forest and encountered several groups of Beedrill. He even saw Beedrill from different groups fighting. The defeated Beedrill would all be killed by the victorious group.
