This Beedrill of his was truly extremely ferocious, not willing to let go of even a drop of nectar!
After sucking nectar from the three Gloom, Beedrill still wanted to split open their bodies to absorb the rest inside, but was stopped in time by Tetsuya.
If it continued like this, sucking nectar once and killing a Grass-type Pokémon each time, then the Pokémon in this forest would not be able to withstand such consumption.
Gloom that had their nectar sucked would only become weak for a period of time and would not suffer much damage, but they could become a continuous source of food for Beedrill. Killing them would simply cut off his own future supply.
By this estimation, the Grass-types in the flower field could indeed provide Beedrill with nectar for three meals a day in a cycle. Of course, this had to be based on Beedrill being strong enough.
"If you want to eat such 'delicious food' every day, you must work hard to get stronger. When you can sweep through all the Grass-type Pokémon in that flower field… your wish will come true~"
Tetsuya's temptation was also the temptation of food. Beedrill waved its twin stingers, showing its weapons.
"Hn. Continue training, Double Team."
---◓---
Beedrill was now also full of enthusiasm. Its wings vibrated at high speed, instantly creating more than a dozen afterimages.
Tetsuya nodded. Just using Double Team alone, Beedrill no longer had any problems.
However, the "epitome" of Double Team had not yet been achieved.
"Beedrill, [Twin Fury]!"
Tetsuya called out. Beedrill swung its twin stingers, executing high-speed strikes, but at the moment it launched the attack, the Double Team disappeared.
In this way, Double Team could only be used for defense, evasion, and interference, and could not be applied to offense.
The main issue was that when Beedrill attacked, it was not simultaneously changing its position at high speed to maintain the Double Team state.
This required full-body coordination from Beedrill. Maintaining Double Team while attacking could facilitate guerrilla tactics, surprise attacks, and all-around offensive tactics, which could cause unexpected effects in battle.
"That's enough! Turn around and see if your Double Team has disappeared. You must maintain the Double Team state while attacking."
Beedrill waved its twin stingers, activating Double Team once again.
"[Twin Fury]!"
Beedrill hesitated slightly, but still figured out the key point. While constantly changing positions, it used its twin stingers to attack, but the original dozen afterimages were reduced to only three or four.
"You still haven't realized the rhythm, and you lost focus. Continue!"
Beedrill also realized its shortcomings and continued its training.
Tetsuya then only said one word, "Continue."
---◓---
Beedrill naturally knew that its execution was still not up to standard. For an entire day, it only rested once, ate a bit of "low-quality" nectar, and made initial progress in its training. It could now maintain ten afterimages while attacking.
The next day, it caught two Weepinbell, and after enjoying the delicious nectar, it was naturally full of energy.
This kind of training continued for another two days, and it finally reached a perfect state, maintaining all afterimages without disappearing while executing effective attacks.
Now Beedrill had already formed a systematic training routine. Using weights for physical strength training, maintaining Double Team during flight could train both Speed and evasion, and its sense of attack rhythm had also gradually matured.
After several consecutive days of extracting nectar, these passing Grass-type Pokémon were now actively allowing Beedrill to absorb nectar. On one hand, Grass-types did not like to fight, and on the other hand, storing too much nectar in their bodies was also a burden.
Beedrill's basic training could be said to have come to an end. Although these aspects would not be neglected, the focus of training needed to shift.
Both physical strength and Speed had been further improved. Now what needed to be reinforced were its offensive tactics.
Beedrill's most outstanding traits were physical Attack and Speed, so its positioning could only be that of a close-range attacker, emphasizing "fast, accurate, and ruthless". It also had to excel at ambush, with assaults requiring suddenness, and guerrilla-style attrition was also one of the commonly used tactics.
"Beedrill, based on the previous training, we need to improve. Use that large tree ahead as the target. While maintaining Double Team, attack that tree from all angles. The pause between attacks must be one second, then you must withdraw and prepare to organize the next attack. Now listen to my commands."
That large tree was "equivalent" to a Pokémon that excelled in defense. Such Pokémon had high Defense and abundant vitality, and could only be defeated through constant attrition.
However, when closing in, Beedrill could not be caught, otherwise with Beedrill's level of Defense, it could very likely be defeated in one blow.
Beedrill vibrated its wings, and more than a dozen afterimages appeared in the air.
"[Twin Fury] on the front of the trunk!"
Only a buzzing sound could be heard. What could be seen was more than a dozen streaks of black and yellow light. At the moment they approached the tree, they quickly returned to the air.
When seen again, two holes had already appeared on the trunk, left by Beedrill's twin stingers.
"Behind."
"Left."
"Right."
"Behi…"
Tetsuya continuously commanded the directions of Beedrill's attacks. In the repeated back-and-forth, Beedrill had to carry out rapid attacks, retreats, and maintain Double Team at the same time.
This was not a simple training.
Tetsuya's ultimate training goal was exactly this. Everything done before was preparation for it, and it was precisely because of this step-by-step training that this current training could proceed so smoothly.
Although as time passed, the number of afterimages was gradually decreasing, as the first day of this training, such results were already remarkable.
Tetsuya recorded time every day. Here, it was equivalent to being imprisoned, and the passage of time could not be ignored.
It had already been one month and three days since landing on the island.
Beedrill's current level was more than sufficient to deal with ordinary Pokémon. Tetsuya planned to stay here for another three days to complete the final training before beginning to search for Rhydon and Houndoom.
This was the most basic goal. Once he exchanged back Piloswine and Golett, along with Ditto as a hidden ace he would not fear anyone at all.
After finishing the last three days of training here, Beedrill's various training aspects were nearly perfect, and it had also learned a new move, Focus Energy.
This was also an important move to complement its Sniper Ability. Focus Energy could quickly concentrate its attention and increase its instantaneous attack speed, making it easier to find and strike the opponent's vital points.
After packing up his things, Tetsuya took Beedrill toward the flower field. He was about to leave this place, so he had to take some food with him.
