Chương 8: Mysterious Egg, Fight

(My POV)

While I soaked in the tranquil beauty of the surroundings with Beldum and Tangela by my side, I reached for my trainer's spatial bag resting nearby. As I carefully rummaged inside, my fingers closed around the mysterious egg that had been bestowed upon me by the ROB.

The egg exuded an aura of mystique and reverence. Its shell was a deep, mysterious black, adorned with intricate red markings that seemed to pulse faintly in the sunlight. Delicate strands of white lined the edges of the crimson designs, adding to its ethereal appearance.

I felt a special energy emanating from the egg, a mysterious force that seemed to pulse gently against my palm. It was an indescribable sensation, as if the egg itself was reaching out to me, forming a bond despite its immobility within its shell.

As I held the egg closer, its presence seemed to resonate with a quiet intensity. Beldum and Tangela, ever attuned to the energies around them, regarded the egg with a mix of curiosity and reverence. Their presence, alongside mine, created a cocoon of tranquility and anticipation.

It was as though the egg was communicating with me in its own silent language, expressing a connection that transcended words. I sensed a promise of growth, of future companionship and shared adventures yet to come. With a tender smile, I gently returned the egg to its protective cushioning, acknowledging the bond we had begun to forge.

Now it's already 3 PM with approximately 7 kilometers left to Pallet Town, I walked alongside Beldum and Tangela.

Memories from the Pokémon TV series jogged my mind, particularly the river that flowed between Pallet Town and Viridian City.

"Rotom, is there a river nearby?" I asked, turning to my trusty companion for guidance.

{Yes, Sir. According to my maps, there should be a river ahead.} Rotom chirped cheerfully from its digital confines. Its screen flickered momentarily before displaying a route overlay that highlighted a nearby waterway.

Following Rotom's guidance, I followed the route and encountered a Bellsprout dancing peculiarly. Intrigued, I decided to challenge it. With a few strategic moves from Beldum, the Bellsprout was soon knocked out cold. I treated it lightly, as it will recover from its wounds. Being a grass type has its advantage, it recovers fast during sunlight. I also left it an Oran berry for having battle with my beldum.

As I continued along the route, I encountered a Weedle that seemed terrified after making eye contact with Beldum's red eye. It quickly scurried away, triggering my concern. Moments later, my fears were realized as a horde of Beedrills appeared on the scene. Although not excessively high in level—ranging between 10 and 12—there were a formidable 25 Beedrills in total.

As the horde of Beedrills surrounded us, Beldum acted swiftly. With a focused intensity, it unleashed a powerful Confusion attack, sending psychic waves rippling through the nearest Beedrills. The affected Beedrills staggered, momentarily disoriented.

Before the rest could react, Beldum utilized its teleportation ability, vanishing from sight and reappearing strategically to evade incoming attacks and confuse the swarm further. Tangela joined the fray, using its vines to spray Stun Spore into the air, paralyzing several Beedrills in place. With swift movements, Tangela also used Bind to restrain a few Beedrills, preventing them from attacking freely.

While Tangela kept the Beedrills occupied, Beldum maneuvered with calculated precision, striking with Tackle to deliver precise blows to weakened opponents. The combination of Confusion's psychic assault, Teleport's strategic advantage, and Tangela's debilitating status moves created a chaotic but controlled battlefield.

As the battle progressed, Tangela also used Mega Drain to recover health and sustain itself amidst the flurry of attacks. The draining energy revitalized Tangela, allowing it to continue supporting Beldum with renewed vigor.

In the midst of the intense battle against the horde of Beedrills, I found myself fully immersed, utilizing my Psychokinesis manipulation to influence the battlefield. Channeling psychic energy, I targeted individual Beedrills, disrupting their attacks and aiding Beldum and Tangela's efforts.

As the battle grew more heated, I also engaged in close combat, using my physical strength to punch and fend off Beedrills that came too close. My Adaptive and Mind Evolution skills kicked in, enhancing my abilities with each use. I felt a surge of power and resilience coursing through me, adapting to the demands of the battle as naturally as if I were training in hand-to-hand combat.

With each punch and psychic maneuver, my body responded with increased agility and precision. The synergy between my actions and the Pokémon's attacks created a seamless flow of battle strategy, where every move and adjustment played a crucial role in turning the tide against the Beedrill swarm.

As the last Beedrill fell under our combined efforts, I took a moment to catch my breath, feeling a deep sense of accomplishment and unity with my Pokémon partners. The battle had tested us all, pushing our limits and strengthening our bond in ways that only shared challenges can achieve.

"Let's find a safe place nearby for rest," I suggested, and both my Pokémon responded with nods of agreement.

We soon discovered a hollow tree nestled among a cluster of trees, offering a sheltered spot away from any potential Beedrill hordes. It seemed like the perfect place to recuperate and recharge after the challenging battle.

With a sense of relief, we settled into the tranquil surroundings, grateful for the momentary respite. I tended to my Pokémon's wounds, applying potions and offering them some Pokéblocks to replenish their energy. At the same time, I ate some berries to recover from the exhaustion, having used so much mental power and engaging in hand-to-hand combat for such a prolonged period.

Beldum and Tangela seemed appreciative, their trust and loyalty evident in their relaxed demeanor. As we rested, the soothing sounds of the forest created a peaceful atmosphere, allowing us to unwind and regain our strength. The rustling leaves and distant calls of Pokémon underscored the peace that had returned after the earlier turmoil.

(20 Minutes later)

After resting for a while, I discovered that both my Pokémon had reached level 10 following the intense battle. Tangela's proficiency with Stun Spore and Mega Drain had increased to the intermediate phase. Additionally, Beldum had been comprehending a new move, Zen Headbutt, as displayed in the Pokémon status panel.

I checked myself and found no signs of the intense battle on my clothes, thanks to the psychic energy shield I had formed around me. This shield not only protected me, but also kept my clothes intact, which was crucial since I only had this one pair with me.

Curious about the system notifications that had been silenced during the battle, I opened the system panel.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing two hidden missions.]

Intrigued, I continued to explore the notifications to see what missions I had completed and what rewards awaited.
