Poison sac of Ekans.
Ekans or Arbok, and they are all Pokémon with violent personalities and like to attack humans.
However, with the power of the five Spearow, the evolved Arbok should be able to face them, so it was most likely Ekans.
They keep these poison sacs, probably because the scent of these poison sacs repels mosquitoes and ants in the wild.
After all, in addition to Pokemon in the wild, these common creatures also exist.
Both Ekans and Arbok are Poison-type Pokémon.
Natsu has been reading books about Bug-Type Pokémon and Poison-Type Pokémon, while thinking about how to improve Weedle's Bug-Type and Poison-Type abilities.
When reading about how to raise Poison Type Pokémon.
Poison-Type Pokémon can increase their own toxicity by devouring another Poison-Type Pokémon's primary organ, the poison sac where the Poison-Type Pokémon stores poison, while also strengthening their own Poison-Type moves.
However, this method was not accepted by the Alliance so this book only discusses it briefly, not explaining it in depth.
Natsu knew there was such a way, but didn't know how it worked.
Just in case, he kept it.
Let's see if he can find out some specific details in the future, and then try to let Weedle eat this poison sac to increase its toxicity.
Weedle's Poison Type Talent, in his previous anger, had been revealed, and Natsu felt the need to develop it further.
Seeing the poison sac kept by Natsu, Weedle looked desperate.
He wanted to eat it now, if Natsu hadn't noticed, he probably wouldn't have taken it out of the nest.
Seeing his appearance, Natsu smiled and patted his little head "What's wrong with that? It's a good thing, but there might be danger, just endure it."
"Wee~~" Weedle could only lower his head helplessly.
"There might be something delicious in here, if it's something you can eat right away, I won't stop you." Natsu comforted.
"Wee?"
'Is it true?'
Carrying Weedle, he continued his journey through the shigeki forest, passing through and clearing the assigned areas.
Aside from the five Spearow who caused a bit of trouble, the other Pokémon were very easy to deal with.
Natsu didn't take a break during lunch, except for a short break.
The sun has tilted to the west.
Seeing the still quiet forest, the presence of Natsu and Weedle broke the silence of the forest.
At the edge of the forest.
"It's almost time, we should go back."
After clearing the shigeki forest, he should have made a lot of money today, plus the unexpected Poison sac, overall not bad.
Tomorrow, he would follow Kenji, the food and Pokeblocks Weedle needed during this time should be available.
"By the way, there's a Spearow hanging from a tree, see if it's still alive. Maybe we can exchange some money."
After that, Natsu suddenly found Weedle, who had been silent all this time, staring at Natsu's back.
Noticing the oddity, Natsu frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
"Wee-" Weedle let out a soft sound, his eyes straight. He stared into the depths of the dark forest.
As the light dims, visibility in the forest decreases.
Faintly, a dim red light could even be seen among the trees.
"Wee-"
Weedle called out another plan.
"Out there is a dangerous area, that place is not within the range of the shigeki forest, there must be unknown dangers hidden within it." Natsu understood what Weedle meant, but couldn't help but remind him.
"Wee-" Weedle looked at him sadly.
"Ck." Natsu couldn't help but close his mouth.
Weedle had sensed something in the wild forest, outside the shigeki forest area, that had tempted his desire to go there.
Even more tempting than the previous poison sac.
Weedle was so tempted that he didn't even care about Natsu's warning, he wanted to get what was in the forest.
Judging from Weedle's reaction, one could guess that whatever money was in the forest shouldn't be simple.
Of.
However, the forest is most dangerous at night.
Many highly aggressive Pokémon don't appear during the day, but once night falls, it's time for them to come out.
These Pokémon are often extremely dangerous, and are mostly creatures at the top of the food chain, with humans like Natsu and low-level Pokémon like Weedle sure to be easy targets for them.
But.
Seeing Weedle's eager eyes and his desire, if not for Natsu's obstruction, Weedle would probably have rushed away.
"Then just give it a try." Natsu sighed, making up his mind.
"Wee?" Weedle looked at him in surprise and shock.
Natsu said firmly, "Just try and see, if the threat we face is too great and the obstacles we face are too many, we will stop immediately and come back tomorrow morning."
Saying that, Natsu knew that something that could tempt Weedle so much might also be of interest to other Pokémon.
The battle between what might be Pokémon has begun.
Maybe when he comes back tomorrow, the thing that interests Weedle will be gone.
That's why Natsu decided to go inside.
"Wee!" Weedle nodded heavily.
He also knew the dangers, and didn't want Natsu to be threatened, but whatever was inside was very tempting to him, and he was a bit reluctant not to go in and take a look.
"Eat this Pokeblock, recover for ten minutes, wait until it's almost ready, then go back in, I don't think it will take less than ten minutes."
He said, then took out a Pokeblock.
Weedle didn't speak, just ate the Pokeblocks obediently and quietly.
Ten minutes have passed.
The sun was also setting quickly, and visibility in the forest was darker.
"This time the level of danger is not like before, if we can't guarantee our safety, we will retreat." Natsu emphasized again.
Entering this forest, it bears the greatest pressure.
"Wee!" Weedle's tail stroked his chest in a sign of determination.
"Then let's go."
A crisis can happen at any time.
High concentration.
Take Weedle out of the shigeki forest and into the area called the wild forest by the Alliance.
In the danger level determined by the Alliance, this forest is included in the medium danger area, which is completely outside the reach of Saffron City and enters the middle area between the two cities.
Don't underestimate moderate risks.
Please be aware that the shigeki forest is considered a non-dangerous area.
However, if you are unable to face a dangerous situation, it is better to just retreat, there should be no major problems.
Let's do it.
