"Wee," Weedle whispered, his eyes fixed on two berries on the middle tree.
Natsu stroked Weedle's back to calm him down.
"Be patient, in a situation like this, it's best to wait until these Wild Pokémon fight first."
There are strong and weak wild Pokémon, but here... After all, it's not too far from Saffron City, and there are often trainers coming in and out of this forest, and the wild Pokémon inside aren't very strong.
At least Weedle didn't encounter any Pokemon that scared him too much to face.
"Wee!" Weedle answered weakly.
This Berri was indeed very tempting to him, but he would not make his lose his mind.
In his heart, Natsu's safety comes first, if there really is no chance to fight for him, he will also resist the temptation and persuade Natsu to back down.
Time passes slowly.
The light on berry grew brighter, like two small moons hanging on the tree.
The surrounding Pokemon also became increasingly restless, and all sorts of whispers came and went, showing signs of being unable to restrain themselves.
move . _
"Judging from this Pokemon's reaction, this Berri should be close to maturity, it is very disadvantageous for us to fight it once it matures. We have to find a way to make them fight first, so we will have a chance to take it."
Thinking about this, Natsu leaned carefully through the bushes, although making noise, it seemed that all the Pokemon's attention was focused on Berry.
Natsu sneaked behind the Weedle and Beedrill herd.
Natsu glanced at Pinsir, who was occupying a solitary area not far away. Pinsir should be the strongest of the current Pokémon group.
"Weedle, climb the tree and use Poison Sting on that Pinsir." Natsu's whisper reached Weedle's ear.
"Wee?" Weedle glanced at him in surprise, but without hesitation, he climbed a tree and hid behind a thicket of leaves, his small eyes focused on Pinsir in the distance.
Ssshj—
With three small clicks, Poison Sting quickly penetrated and shot the Pinsir.
Srhh--
The fine Poison Sting shot straight into Pinsir's hard carapace.
Poison Sting actually failed to penetrate Pinsir's carapace.
But that's okay, the role has been played.
"Pinss!!"
Pinsir, who was suddenly attacked, roared, his eyes filled with fierce light, staring directly at the group of Weedle and Beedrill in the area next to him.
Pinsir is originally a Pokemon with a cruel personality, but he has been calm all this time because of his focus on Berry.
But the sudden attack immediately ignited his fiery character. An attack was aimed straight at the nearest Beedrill, and shot upwards, with a layer of turbulent airflow, Focus Energy.
The Beedrill group didn't seem to know what was going on.
Seeing Pinsir running towards them, Beedrill who was also not very calm, couldn't resist him.
Pinsir is strong, but they have a total of four Beedrill here.
"Bir-"
With the Beedrill's roar leading the way, the Beedrills immediately engaged Pinsir.
It's like putting a drop of water in a pan of hot oil, and then the water immediately splashes out.
The Bug-type Pokémon that were about to move also intervened one by one, even the Pokémon that were originally quiet.
The most prominent Butterfree had joined Beedrill and Pinsir in battle, several Paras had secretly placed their targets on Berry in the center, but as they approached, they met strong resistance from Venonat.
And Weedle, who caused all this to happen, climbed down from the tree immediately after releasing Poison Sting, and crawled through the bushes with Natsu, covering his figure with fallen leaves and grass.
The war has occurred.
All Pokémon join the battle at the same time, and all kinds of Bug-Type moves fly.
'This is a mess, but there's a chance.' Natsu thought to himself, and his attention turned to Berry.
The next thing to do is wait for both berries to fully ripen, then look for opportunities to get close through Pokémon battles.
"The book says that the sign of full ripeness of Ganga Beri is when the top is as bright as the moon, and now it has covered more than half of it, with only a little bit left at the tip."
This is the most vulnerable time, and their actions are crucial.
In the Battle, many Pokémon have fallen.
There were already two Beedrills on the Beedrill side that had fallen, and one Butterfree on the Butterfree side that had fallen, Pinsir had wounds all over his body, but it seemed that these wounds had only aroused his ferocity, there was still the biggest threat in the three-way fight.
As for Weedle and Catterpie, Natsu didn't know how many had fallen.
The fight between Venonat and Paras on the other side also heated up, and each of them lost to the other.
Natsu and Weedle held back.
However, through observation, Natsu had roughly understood the speed of its ripening and calculated the estimated ripening time.
His fingers slid gently across the ground, leaving traces, and he counted the seconds in his heart.
"Almost there." Natsu raised his head and said to Weedle beside him: "You go straight ahead, go to the ground, you don't need to be too fast, stay calm and stay alert, when you get close to the Berry Tree, don't climb it, just use String Shot to pick the berries, then don't worry about anything, run back here."
Weedle nodded in understanding.
Natsu took the grass ball that had been prepared from the side, covered Weedle's back, and held his body.
Natsu counted in his mind.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed across his eyes, "Go!"
He let go, Weedle quickly left the bushes, and approached the Berry Tree slowly and steadily.
While holding an extra wooden stick in his hand, he stared straight at Berry on the tree.
It can be clearly seen that the surface of Berry is essentially completely covered in light, leaving only the tips of the stars visible.
As Weedle approaches, the surface of the Berry brightens, and the scent it emits becomes stronger, affecting nearby Bug-type Pokémon.
As their battle subsided, their attention turned to Berry.
The berries are almost ripe.
Natsu held the staff in his hand and counted in his heart.
"Its time!"
With a low voice in his heart, he suddenly stood up.
Then, under the gaze of the Bug-type Pokemon, the Berries on the tree ripened.
Interweaving of light and shadow, echoes of light and darkness.
At this moment, the light on the surface of the Berry was completely restrained, and the emanation of the Fragrance also suddenly stopped.
The brief change caused the Bug-Type Pokemon to freeze for a moment.
Just as they were about to rush towards Berry, they suddenly heard.
tree!
Under the tree next to him, Natsu gripped the staff tightly and slammed it against the tree trunk, making a dull sound.
This voice appeared very suddenly in a quiet situation.
They subconsciously looked in the direction of the movement, and saw a figure, running or jumping excitedly, breaking through the layers of bushes to block it.
And when they regained consciousness and looked at the Berry again, they saw only two bright white silk threads, wrapped around the ripe Berry, and pulling it gently.
The source of the silk thread was a Weedle hiding under the grass.
Here he is!
After getting it, Weedle didn't hesitate, and ran towards where they came from as per Natsu's instructions, using full power.
The two berries quickly disappeared entangled in the thread.
For now, some of these Wild Bug-Type Pokémon cannot react to successive changes.
When they reacted, they saw the figure reunite with Weedle, dragging two Berries, and quickly disappearing into the depths of the forest.
In an instant.
All the Bug type Pokemon roared in anger.
