A burst of "buzzing" sounds came from the direction of the stream, and the sound grew increasingly intense.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Tetsuya's mouth. It seemed that his efforts would not go to waste.
The dying cry for help from that Beedrill just now had already alarmed the Beedrill group. With this level of commotion, there would certainly be no fewer than ten Beedrill.
The "buzzing" sound had already reached his ears. Over a dozen Beedrill flew over first. They saw within the Spearow group the corpse of one Beedrill and one Kakuna, and four Kakuna were also on the verge of death.
The leading Beedrill did not hesitate at all. It raised its twin stingers and stabbed toward the Spearow!
The Spearow also clearly understood that this battle was now unavoidable. With a flap of their wings, they engaged the Beedrill in combat.
The number of Beedrill was fewer than the Spearow. Among them, two Beedrill had to face two Spearow each, clearly at a disadvantage in numbers.
Seven or eight Weedle followed behind, seemingly the Beedrill's second group. The leading Weedle was extremely "robust", and its wriggling speed was very fast, far ahead of the seven Weedle behind it.
Tetsuya focused his attention on this Weedle. Judging from its size, it seemed slightly smaller than ordinary Weedle, but the horn on its head was at least eight centimeters long, more than three centimeters longer than that of a normal Weedle. This was its true offensive weapon!
A ray of sunlight flashed, and a trace of purple glinted across the horn on that Weedle's head.
Seeing this, Tetsuya had already decided to catch this Weedle. The purple coloration on the horn indicated that this Weedle possessed considerable toxicity and was worth raising.
As the first Weedle to arrive, it showed no fear of the Spearow. It immediately fired a continuous barrage of Poison Sting.
The Spearow hurriedly flapped their wings, knocking the Poison Sting down to the ground.
The arrival of this Weedle successfully drew the attention of one Spearow. The Beedrill that had just been facing two opponents naturally found things much easier.
Two Spearow were successfully restrained by eight Weedle!
String Shot and Poison Sting were fired from four different directions. One Spearow facing four Weedle could only struggle to deal with the moves.
The one-on-one duels between Spearow and Beedrill were now resulting in mutual damage. Three Beedrill and three Spearow had already lost the ability to battle and lay on the ground.
He still could not make a move to catch it. Acting rashly would only expose himself. If he became the common enemy of both groups of Pokémon, he would be finished.
However, the commotion of the battle between the two groups of Pokémon was growing louder and louder. Both Spearow and Beedrill relied on their wings to survive, and as they continuously flapped them, withered leaves were already flying everywhere and branches were shaking chaotically.
Tetsuya felt that something was wrong. If this continued, it would definitely attract groups nearby. At that point, it would become troublesome for him to catch that Weedle. After all, he was alone and could not confront a group head-on.
Tetsuya looked around and, after confirming that no one was nearby, said to his backpack, "…Ditto, in a moment directly Transform into Spearow. Help me grab that Weedle with the longest horn, fly it away, knock it down, and throw it by the lakeside from earlier.
After that, maintain this form. At night, Transform into Haunter and come find me. Remember, do not let anyone discover you."
After speaking, Tetsuya took out a wrist guard from his backpack and placed it on the ground, allowing him to clearly see the area where the Spearow and Beedrill were.
Unknowingly, the wrist guard on the ground had already transformed into a Spearow, flapping its wings as it flew out…
The leading Weedle indeed performed very impressively. Although it was facing a Flying-type that restrained it, as long as it seized an opening, it would actively attack. It seemed its battle awareness was quite strong.
The Spearittow -Ditto- headed straight for the leading Weedle. With Ditto's current level, even three wild Beedrill might not be its opponent, let alone such a Weedle.
Spearittow flapped its wings up and down, quickly adapting itself to this body. After seeing the leading Spearow use Aerial Ace once, Ditto also used it.
The Weedle could not figure out the strength of this suddenly appeared "Spearow," but it was not afraid, it fired a series of Poison Sting.
Although its speed and power were decent, they were nothing in front of Ditto.
Ditto instantly turned into a streak of white light and disappeared in front of the Weedle. The Weedle lost its sense of direction and looked around in confusion.
When Ditto suddenly appeared again, it had already crashed into the Weedle's back.
The intense pain caused the Weedle to curl into a ball. Ditto did not give it any chance to recover, and with a fierce flap of its wings, knocked the Weedle unconscious.
Ditto then grabbed the Weedle and flew toward the direction of the stream.
Seeing that Ditto had succeeded, Tetsuya also immediately withdrew, heading toward the stream. The most important thing now was to take advantage of the chaos to "catch" a Pokémon.
After catching this Weedle, he could come back again to reap the benefits, but the chances of that were not high. To successfully do so, both groups of Pokémon would have to all fall. Otherwise, as long as even one remained capable of battling, it would attack him to protect its companions.
---◓---
Arriving by the stream, that Weedle from before was lying unconscious by the water's edge. Spearittow perched on a distant branch, closely watching Tetsuya.
Tetsuya nodded at Ditto. He still had to strictly carry out his command. It would return to his side at night.
Throwing a Poké Ball, he successfully caught this Weedle.
His basic objective had already been achieved. Tetsuya did not mind the trouble. Caution ensured long-term success. This was the most reliable method.
Even if he still had to return once more to the battlefield of the Beedrill and Spearow.
This time when Tetsuya arrived, three small teams had already gathered around. It seemed they had all been drawn by the disturbance of the battle.
Each team had six people. If all these Spearow and Beedrill were defeated, each person could get two Pokémon.
But human greed was always endless…
Now the quarrel had already begun!
"Our team arrived first, so later these Pokémon should be chosen by our team first."
"Heh~ What kind of joke is that!? Did you defeat these Pokémon? What does arriving first matter? Our team will not give up either!"
"Hey! Can you stop being unreasonable?"
The voices of the three teams arguing grew louder and louder.
The battle between the Beedrill and Spearow had been reduced to three on each side still entangled. Judging from the battle, the Spearow had already gained the advantage.
Tetsuya only watched from a distance. If he went up now, he would not gain any benefit. After all, the other side had more people, and he had no Pokémon to protect him, so he could only wait and observe.
Finally, one person could not hold back and said, "Hm. If you want to catch Pokémon, then rely on your own ability."
After speaking, he rushed out first and threw a Poké Ball at a Beedrill that had lost the ability to battle closest to him.
Tetsuya cursed inwardly, "Idiot," and moved behind a more distant tree.
