Weedle was swinging from branch to branch with a string shot, training it to be stronger than steel.
It's been 3 days since entering Viridian Forest, and all Troy has been doing is training his weedle string shot to [C] rank after using it more often.
The reason why it was swinging from branch to branch was so it could move faster than it is, and once it evolves into kakuna, it won't be able to move, so with string shot being trained, it will be able to move.
Since this is the real world, Pokémon moves can be used differently than they are in the games and anime. Just like how hardened can increase its user's body's strength against physical attacks, it can also be used to deal more damage with a physical move.
Of course, Pokémon bodies have weak spots like any living thing; that's where critical hits would come into play, though different Pokémon have different weak spots.
Troy, seeing Weedle looking worn out, had called Weedle for food, Weedle, you can stop now."
Troy had looked at Weedles stats and was impressed at how fast it has grown so far.

All this time, Troy was not messing around; he had been training Weedle the best he could without any resources while also battling weak Pokémon like Caterpies and other Weedles.
The reason why Weele has not evolved yet is because Troy asked Weele to hold off its evolution until they could find any kind of resource to increase its potential.
While Troy and Weedle were both training, a branch could be heard snapping. Both stopped to look where the sound came from. To see a Pikachu watching with curiosity, Troy looked at its stats to see that it was no ordinary Pikachu.

I couldn't believe my eyes. I knew Ash's Pikachu was strong, but I didn't expect it to have black potential. Is this how strong a main character is? My eyes had started to hurt looking at Pikachu, like it was a divine Pokémon.
Soon Pikachu's trainer came, Ash Ketchum. Pikachu, there you are. Why did you run off like that?
When Ash spotted Troy and Weedle, he came up to Troy to apologize for interrupting their training: I'm so sorry for Pikachu interrupting your training." Troy was still surprised at how strong Pikachu was. He had only one thing to say. Hey, you I challenge you to a Pokémon battle."
Ash, stunned, could only accept Troy's request.
Pikachu, I choose you. Weedle, get ready to battle." Both Pokémon were ready to start and were waiting for their trainers' commands.
Weedle us a string shot on the branch to swing and gain momentum to hit Pikachu with a poison sting.
Ash, being stunned at what Troy was saying to use string shot on the branch instead of on Pikachu to slow him down, did not react fast enough to give Pikachu a command, letting Pikachu get hit with a full-force poison sting.
Seeing Ash not give command to Pikachu to dodge Troy, I could only think of one thing: Ash is not ready to be a trainer. Ash, seeing Pikachu knocked out so fast, rushed to Pikachu to heal him up. Troy, seeing this, was glad Ash knew he had to heal Pikachu fast, but was still annoyed at Ash for not giving Pikachu a command to dodge. Pathetic, you call yourself a Pokémon trainer; you can't even focus on the battle and let Pikachu get hit by a simple move; you're not even using Pikachu to its full potential."
Ash, hearing this, could only fire back with an excuse: Hey, what do you think you're saying? I'm not a bad trainer because I was stunned at how you can use a string shot like that."
Troy, not wanting to hear his excuses, returned Weedle to the poke ball and packed everything up. Troy had started to leave, but before he could go, Ash had one thing to ask. Hey, what's your name? Troy replied, "My name is Troy Nightmare, and I'm going to be the Pokémon champion of all the regions in the world."
