Roy approached Nurse Joy and asked her to treat the injured Beedrill behind him (don't ask how they got hurt), promising to cover the cost of their treatment.
"This Beedrill..."
Nurse Joy's eyes were filled with worry. She certainly didn't mind treating a few Beedrills, but she was worried that these wild Beedrills might suddenly attack and hurt people.
The Beedrill leader looked at Roy, and after Roy nodded to him, the injured Beedrill quietly lined up and flew to Nurse Joy's side, waiting for Nurse Joy treatment, at the Beedrill of "Buzz! Buzz!"
Seeing that the Beedrills did not attack and were all very obedient, Nurse Joy agreed.
Roy, worried that Nurse Joy be uneasy, specifically left his Drakloak with her to protect her.
Drakloak and Dreepy on his head greeted Nurse Joy and Chansey together.
"Um... hello everyone."
"Auspicious!"
Faced with the Ghost type Pokémon she didn't recognize, Nurse Joy could only give an awkward smile to the two aerial huskies.
Compared to that, the wild Beedrill queuing up quietly seem rather endearing.
After making the arrangements, Roy was about to follow the Beedrill to see the Vespiquen.
Seeing the Beedrill leader leading the way with Roy following behind, Officer Jenny Liya, who was really worried, gritted her teeth and followed.
The Pokémon Trainers on the field watched as the Beedrill leader led its minions back into the forest, with Roy and Officer Jenny following behind, still unaware of what had happened.
On the road
Hundreds of Beedrill from the Beedrill swarm protected Roy and Officer Jenny Liya in the middle, preventing them from being harmed by other Bug-type Pokémon.
Two figures appeared against the tide of battle amidst a battlefield teeming with human Pokémon Trainers and Bug Tide.
"Beedrill, how many members are there in your colony now?"
"Buzz! Buzz!"
"Lamp!"
"Your clan has quite a lot of Beedrills. Have you become the dominant species in the Lilycove City area?"
Roy chatted casually with the Beedrill leader through the Lampent's translation, like two old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.
Officer Jenny Liya watched as the two Pokémon communicated seamlessly, and felt completely superfluous.
Beedrill hadn't expected Roy's Pokémon to be so powerful, strong enough to instantly defeat him.
This gave him a sense of frustration; he had wanted to show Roy how much he had grown.
However, if you lack strength, you can make up for it with quantity.
"Buzz!"
Beedrill declared that the people behind him were all his underlings, and that he was now the strongest Beedrill in the entire forest on the outskirts of Lilycove City, with nearly... many, many underlings under his command.
Beedrill excitedly waved its Twineedle stingers, but was afraid of getting too close to Roy and hurting Roy, so it didn't dare to wave them too wide.
Roy followed behind Beedrill, watching Beedrill dance excitedly, and suddenly noticed the numerous wounds, large and small, on Beedrill's body.
The Beedrill must have put in a lot of effort to become the leader of the colony.
While still brandishing its two Twineedle Beedrill suddenly felt an itch on its body. Turning around, it found Roy behind it, taking out a healing Potion and spraying it on the wounds it had previously sustained. His technique was as gentle as ever.
For a moment, Beedrill felt as if it had returned to the time when the other party was still Weedle, and the other party sprayed Potion on its body.
The wound had already stopped hurting, but for some reason, the pain seemed to return after the Potion was sprayed on it.
"You must have suffered a lot to become stronger, Beedrill."

Roy's whisper shattered the shield in Beedrill's heart that had been so hardened that it had withstood countless mental attacks.
Compared to physical attacks that cause you physical pain, psychological attacks strike directly at your heart and soul, leaving you with an unforgettable experience.
It's fair to say that he hadn't been this vulnerable even when facing the Misdreavus's deadly Shadow Ball.
But Roy's whisper just now left him stunned in mid-air, unable to shake it off for a long time.
A heavy sword cannot pierce a heart armor; a whispered word in the ear is the most effective weapon against the heart.
He simply wanted to show Roy his underlings and demonstrate that he was no longer as weak as he had been when they first met.
He had imagined countless times that after they met again, Roy would praise him, encourage him, and think highly of him.
But what he didn't expect was that Roy wasn't concerned about his current leadership position, but rather about how much hardship he had endured during his time as leader.
Is it bitter?
Maybe.
After Roy treated his injuries, he, still Weedle, climbed to the top of the tree.
He was able to evolve into Kakuna thanks to the Berries and power sticks that Roy fed him.
During his time as a pupa, he was unable to eat or move, and could only stare blankly in the direction Roy had left.
After about two months, he finally evolved into Beedrill.
However, after evolving into Beedrill, he did not choose to randomly join a Beedrill colony in the forest surrounding Lilycove City.
Because he had been with humans for a while, the bee colonies in the Lilycove Forest no longer accepted him.
He could only become a lone bee, starting from scratch to build his own territory and recruit those who shared the same fate as him and were also rejected by the hive.
During this time, he also fought countless times with other Beedrill for territory, and once he almost died from the double Twineedle of Beedrill that was one level higher than him.
Fortunately, I was blessed by heaven and managed to kill my opponent by using the needle at the end of my tail, which allowed me to get to where I am now.
Then, when he met Roy, he felt that all the hardships he had experienced before were nothing, until Roy's sudden words of concern and greeting.
The Twineedle that were waving in her hand stopped, and for some reason, a trace of mist seemed to have appeared on her red, jewel-like compound Compound Eyes.
The other Beedrill were also seeing their leader like this for the first time, and they could sense the unspeakable emotions their leader was experiencing.
