...
The next day.
Natsu got dressed, packed his backpack, packed some necessities, and brought the camera equipment provided by the club, Natsu carried Weedle, and felt excited.
Get on the bus.
Saffron City is the largest city in the Kanto Region, it is no exaggeration to say that this city is a center of trade, so it occupies a large area.
Shigeki Forest is across from Saffron City, and the bus is the fastest transportation Natsu can get.
Even though there will be a slight delay, at least it is much faster than walking.
After getting off the bus.
His vision was mostly filled with green, yellow, and other colors.
Now it's autumn full of fallen leaves, but many trees remain green.
Walking into the forest, the location is still on the outskirts of Saffron City. The location has been cleared by the Alliance and the Saffron City Gym Center, there will be no aggressive Wild Pokemon here.
The weedle on Natsu's shoulder looked around curiously.
This was different from any place they had visited before,
"Be careful and watch out for Pokemon that might appear at any time," Natsu said solemnly.
In the wild, it is important to always be prepared.
Not only to watch out for Wild Pokémon, but also to watch out for some Trainers.
Sometimes, Trainers who have survived in the wild tend to be more dangerous than Wild Pokémon.
"Wee!" Weedle nodded enthusiastically, his small eyes looking around.
In the wild, the safety of Trainers depends on Pokémon.
Soon after.
Natsu and Weedle walk out of the safe zone and enter the Shigeki forest.
The dense leaves provide shade, and dots of light fall to the ground through the gaps in the leaves. The entire forest expresses a message, tranquility.
Behind the calm, hidden dangers can appear at any time.
There is a Catterpie lying quietly on a tree branch gnawing on leaves, an Oddish hiding in the bushes swinging leaves, and a flock of Pidgey flying around looking for food, scaring the Catterpie into hiding among the leaves. These are all non-aggressive Wild Pokémon.
As long as no one takes the initiative to provoke them, they won't do anything extraordinary except for a little curiosity.
Suddenly.
Natsu felt Weedle's body suddenly stiffen on his shoulder and straightened up, his small eyes fixed somewhere in the dense forest.
Is anyone coming?
Natsu narrowed his eyes and continued walking quietly.
"Speee!!" A loud chirping sound.
Natsu saw a wild Spearow jump out from behind the leaves, its sharp eyes swept over Natsu and Weedle, and finally fell on Weedle's body.
Its sharp beak and claws that glow with a cold light make it an accomplished hunter in this forest, and Spearow has targeted Weedle.
"Wee!" Weedle bent down and shouted in a low voice.
"String Shot." Natsu immediately gave an order.
Such a straight line attack was no different than serving a meal in his eyes.
Hearing the order, Weedle did not hesitate at all, his body tensed up, and a bright white silk thread shot out from his mouth, with a swift movement, directly hitting Spearow's wing.
The sudden change in wing weight caused Spearow to panic, and its flight speed and direction were affected.
"Once again," Natsu said calmly.
Weedle's mouth opened again, and another thread shot towards Spearow.
With two successful String Shots, Spearow had lost its last resistance.
"Continue, Poison Sting." Natsu continued his command, the sharp corners of Weedle's head lit up with purple circles, and some of them shone with a cold light. Poison Sting shot out, piercing straight into Spearow's body.
At first, Weedle wasn't very poisonous, but after eating Pokeblocks these past few days, there has been a lot of improvement.
"Spee!!" teriak Spearow.
After the Poison Sting sank into Spearow's body, he stumbled and couldn't maintain his flight, and fell straight to the ground.
A purple circle appeared on his body.
Poisoning.
"One problem solved." Natsu secretly took out the club camera to capture Spearow's tragic situation, then stepped past him and continued inside.
This mission is to clear a designated forest area, and these Spearows can only be considered as an opener.
And this Spearow isn't very strong, it might win against a wild Weedle, but it's not strong enough to face Natsu's Weedle.
"Nice job, great start."
Every time a Pokemon is defeated, Weedle will get a reward, which makes him excited.
This task is not easy, and the dangers in the wild are unpredictable, Weedle needs to ensure adequate strength and physical condition at all times.
"Wee!" Weedle ate the Pokeblock quietly, he also knew this was different from usual, and was always on guard.
Even every time he lowered his head and took a small bite, he would immediately raise his head again and pay attention to the movements around him.
"Spearow are supposed to be group Pokémon. If one appears in the forest, it means there must be another Spearow." Natsu analyzed calmly.
Spearow is a Pokémon with an angry personality, and its habit of living in groups means Trainers need to be wary when facing it.
Like a group of Beedrill, they fall into the angry and unfriendly category.
"But since the forest is checked regularly, there shouldn't be too many Spearow coming here."
As he expected, he hadn't gotten very far before Weedle felt threatened again.
Several agile figures flew out from the dense canopy of leaves, flapping their wings, staring at Natsu and Weedle below with red eyes.
"Four." Natsu swept his eyes around and decided that there were only four. After the Spearow didn't appear again, he was slightly relieved.
Spearow is not much.
And if there is no Fearow, it is relatively easy to deal with.
At the same time, Natsu discovered that one of the four Spearow was stronger than the other Spearow, and swept towards Natsu and Weedle fiercely, after confirming that there were no other enemies, his eyes flashed with contempt.
When will Spearows be defeated by Weedle?
Spearow losing early was a huge disgrace for them.
Flapping its wings a few times gently, it slowly landed on a branch. It lowered its head and began to groom its sharp feathers and legs, ignoring Weedle.
"Speee!" He chirped, and it sounded like an order.
The other three Spearow headed straight for Natsu and Weedle.
One against three, this was a first for Weedle.
