"Murkrow, Lv. 29..."
"Murkrow, Lv. 36..."
Not bad. This battle won't be a waste...
Yong sighed and stepped aside, holding the Incubator.
Larvesta looked up at the two Murkrow. There was none of the fear a Bug-type Pokémon might show when facing a Bird Pokémon in those eyes-only a burning eagerness to fight!
"Kraa!"
The Murkrow felt provoked!
A bug that isn't afraid of birds? Outrageous! Even if you're no ordinary bug, I'm no ordinary bird either!
The two Murkrow screeched angrily, and one dived again! White light gleamed on its sharp beak! The other flapped its wings, whipping up a fierce wind that swept toward Larvesta!
One used Peck to draw attention while the other used Gust to pin the opponent down... These two really were old hands at this!
As the diving Murkrow drew closer, Yong rubbed his chin, then said with a smile,
"Larvesta! Use String Shot!"
"Larva!"
Larvesta, who had been "trembling" in the wind as though the slightest breeze might topple the little Pokémon, instantly straightened up. Watching Murkrow approach, Larvesta opened its mouth and sent a dense net of silk straight at the bird!
"Kraa?!"
A slightly panicked cry rang out. Unable to dodge in time, Murkrow took the String Shot right in the face!
And that wasn't the end of it. Larvesta kept pouring out silk until Murkrow's wings were bound too, turning the bird into a "stick." Only then did Larvesta stop, satisfied.
Seeing this, the other Murkrow circled hesitantly in midair before finally diving as well!
Judging by its trajectory, though, its target was its own companion!
Yong stopped Larvesta from attacking again, allowing Murkrow to grab its silk-bound, immobilized companion and fly away swiftly.
The boy smiled faintly and said to Larvesta,
"All right, since they've run away, leave them
