章 5: Shiny Weedle In The Bag, Baby!
Zephyr glanced at the electric shock net in his hands, then continued browsing the system's points mall. His eyes landed on something interesting in the "breeding" category—a red, fragrant berry.
[Red Fragrant Berry: 100 points. Favorite of Beedrill. Perfect for luring them.]
"With this, I can bait one without much effort," Zephyr muttered, purchasing the berry.
He crouched in the underbrush, smashed the berry on a nearby rock to spread its scent, and held the shock net at the ready. The forest buzzed with activity, and soon, the unmistakable hum of wings filled the air. A large Beedrill hovered into view, its sharp, twin stingers glinting menacingly as it scanned the area for threats. Finding none, it approached the rock.
[Beedrill detected three meters away.
Type: Bug/Poison Pokémon.
Nature: Aggressive, highly territorial.
Skills: Agility, Poison Sting, Pin Missile.
Combat Power: 80 points.]
Zephyr crouched lower in the bushes, smirking. An evolved Pokémon like this will do wonders for Gastly's growth.
As the Beedrill began nibbling the berry, Zephyr made his move. With a swift flick, he launched the electric shock net, trapping the unsuspecting Pokémon. He activated the switch, sending a surge of electricity through the net. The Beedrill buzzed violently before collapsing with swirly eyes, completely immobilized.
"Gastly, it's your turn," Zephyr commanded.
The ghostly Pokémon floated out from behind him, its gaseous body shifting as it loomed over the unconscious Beedrill. With a chilling chuckle, Gastly engulfed the Beedrill in one gulp.
[Gastly has devoured Beedrill. Combat Power +15.
New skill unlocked: Dark Pulse.
Evolution Progress +10%.]
Zephyr watched Gastly grow visibly larger after the meal. "Good. But you look stuffed. No more devouring for today."
Suddenly, a loud buzz echoed through the trees, sending shivers down Zephyr's spine. He spun around to see multiple Beedrill flying toward the area, drawn by the berry's scent.
"Damn it!" he hissed. "Too many of them. No way we're taking them all on now. Gastly, return!"
He withdrew Gastly into its Pokéball and slipped quietly into the dense foliage. The Beedrill didn't notice him as they swarmed the berry's remains. Not worth the risk, he thought, keeping a low profile.
As he moved further into the forest, Zephyr's sharp eyes caught a silver glimmer ahead. He froze, his heart skipping a beat. A small, shimmering Pokémon stood in the clearing—a Shiny Weedle.
[Shiny Weedle detected five meters away.
Type: Bug/Poison Pokémon.
Skills: Poison Sting, String Shot, Feint.
Combat Power: 25 points.]
"A Shiny Pokémon?" Zephyr whispered, his eyes widening. "One in a million. And it's a poison type, perfect for me."
Without hesitation, he released Gastly again. "Gastly, Hypnosis!"
Gastly moved quickly, its eyes glowing with eerie light as it unleashed the hypnotic wave. The Weedle resisted, writhing and crawling toward safety, but Zephyr wasn't letting it go.
"Dark Pulse!" he ordered.
Gastly emitted a shadowy blast that struck the Weedle directly. The Shiny Pokémon cried out before collapsing. Wasting no time, Zephyr tossed a Pokéball, capturing it with a single shake.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have caught a Shiny Weedle.
System reward: Shiny Pokémon Bonus activated. Weedle's Pokéball has been enhanced with Bloodthirsty Power. It can now grow stronger by defeating and draining other Pokémon.]
"Bloodthirsty Power, huh?" Zephyr smirked. "With this and Gastly's Devour ability, I'm unstoppable."
Suddenly, the buzz of wings grew louder. Zephyr's smirk faded as he realized the Shiny Weedle's earlier cry had attracted the Beedrill swarm.
[Warning: Beedrill swarm incoming. Highly dangerous.]
Zephyr gritted his teeth. "Figures... Shiny Weedle must be their baby. No way I'm sticking around for this."
As the swarm closed in, he ordered Gastly to use Dark Pulse again, creating a brief opening. He quickly threw the shock net over one of the Beedrill, zapping it into unconsciousness. Using the cover of the forest's shadows, Gastly launched a Nightmare attack on another, causing it to collapse.
Two Beedrill down, but more were coming.
The remaining Beedrill flew higher, letting out a piercing noise.
[Warning: Beedrill is calling for reinforcements!]
"Damn it, this is bad," Zephyr muttered, recalling Gastly. He bolted toward the forest's main path, heading in the direction of Viridian City.
As he ran, he spotted three familiar figures on the road—two boys commanding Metapods to harden repeatedly, and a girl sipping a drink lazily nearby.
"No way…" Zephyr muttered, recognizing the boy with a Pikachu. "Ash? Guess fate brought us together again."
Before he could call out, a Beedrill swooped down, grabbing one of the Metapods mid-battle.
Zephyr sighed, watching the chaos unfold. "So this is how it happens. Never thought I'd be the reason Ash's Metapod gets snatched."
But now the forest was alive with swarms of enraged Beedrill. Zephyr shouted, "Ash! Misty! Run!"
