After finishing an intense training session with his Pokémon, Ash decided to scan their statistics on his Pokédex. The data was as follows:
Name: Pidgey (Shiny) (M)

Name: Pikachu (M)

Ash smiled, proud of his Pokémon, and thought: We will be powerful. He then returned Pidgey to its Poké Ball while Pikachu settled on his shoulder. It was time to head to Pewter City; he had about five to seven days left if all went well.
After two days of travel, Ash was chatting animatedly with Pikachu. His Pokémon enjoyed the delicious meals he had prepared, thanks to the cooking skills he had learned in his previous life. However, as he walked, an unexpected noise made him turn. He found a boy dressed in samurai clothes. Ash couldn't help but chuckle to himself, but suddenly, he noticed a swarm of Beedrill approaching rapidly.
"Legs, I don't need you!" he shouted as he began to run.
Fifteen minutes of frantic running passed when Ash noticed the samurai boy had fallen to the ground. He debated for a moment: should he leave him behind or try to help? Ultimately, he decided to give it a shot, knowing he had to prioritize his own safety.
"Pikachu, use your most powerful electric attack!" Ash ordered, aware that time was of the essence.
The lightning shot towards the swarm of Beedrill. Some fell, but one in particular held its ground. Curious, Ash pulled out his Pokédex to scan that Beedrill.
Name: Beedrill Queen
Level: 18
Swarm Egg: Sniper
Moves: Poison Sting, Drill Run, Double Team, Toxic, Air Slash, Pin Missile
Reading the stats, Ash felt a thrill of excitement. This Beedrill was strong and could be a great addition to his team. Determined, he summoned his Pidgey.
"Pidgey, get ready! This battle won't be easy!"
Beedrill Queen soared into the air, its stingers glimmering threateningly. With a higher level, its Swarm ability made it even more formidable.
"Pidgey, use Air Slash!" Ash shouted.
Pidgey launched its attack, but Beedrill Queen stood firm.
"Bzzzz!" Beedrill buzzed defiantly.
Taking advantage of the situation, Ash ordered: "Pidgey, use Mirror Move!"
Pidgey reflected Beedrill's Poison Sting, striking it with its own attack. As the battle intensified, Ash could feel the tension in the air.
"Now, use Tornado!"
Pidgey created a whirlwind that enveloped Beedrill Queen, hindering its flight. At the right moment, Ash gave a new command: "Quick Attack!"
Pidgey charged at Beedrill with surprising speed, landing a solid hit. However, Beedrill Queen wouldn't go down easily.
"Bzzzz!" it shouted as it unleashed an Air Slash.
Pidgey managed to dodge, hiding among the branches.
"Pidgey, use Silver Wind!" Ash commanded.
The shining wind struck Beedrill, weakening it.
"Pidgey, finish it off with Gust!"
The powerful gust of wind surrounded Beedrill Queen, leaving it exhausted. The queen of the Beedrills fell, defeated.
"We did it, Pidgey! You're amazing!" Ash exclaimed, pride shining on his face.
Suddenly, Pidgey began to glow intensely. Ash watched in awe as his loyal companion evolved.
"Pidgey is evolving!"
When the light faded, a majestic Pidgeotto stood before him.
"Incredible! Now you're a Pidgeotto!" Ash shouted, excited.
Without wasting time, he threw a Poké Ball at Beedrill Queen.
"Poké Ball, go!"
The Poké Ball struck Beedrill Queen and began to shake. Finally, the sound of capture resonated in the air.
"Yes! We caught Beedrill Queen!" Ash shouted, celebrating his success.
The samurai boy, who had been watching everything from the ground, approached gratefully.
"Thank you for saving me," he said, though he was clearly hurt.
Ash smiled and waved goodbye, promising they would meet again. With Beedrill Queen on his team and a new Pidgeotto, Ash was ready to face any challenge that lay ahead on his way to Pewter City.
