As they went deeper into the forest, one or two Poison-type Pokémon would occasionally appear, all of which Tetsuya smoothly dealt with.
However, he did not dare remain inside this poisonous forest for too long. Even while wearing a gas mask, his body would still feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, aside from Haunter and Beedrill being immune to poison, and Houndoom being able to expel toxins from its body, Ditto, Piloswine, and Golett would all develop mild poisoning symptoms if they stayed inside too long, so the Antidote was consumed very quickly.
In the end, Tetsuya adopted a map-clearing strategy. First, he would have Piloswine use Blizzard to clear the miasma from an area, then he would hunt the Poison-type Pokémon within that same area.
Fortunately, there were no big groups or clans in this area. They only appeared in groups of two or three, so there weren't any major problems, and the signs of Haunter's Evolution became increasingly intense.
During this period, there had not been much training of any type. The main focus was hunting Poison-type Pokémon. Helping Haunter complete its Evolution as soon as possible was currently the primary objective.
With the help of so many companions, Haunter's speed in absorbing the poison and toxins of these Pokémon also became much faster.
After two months, more than half of the entire poisonous forest had already been cleared, but Tetsuya could also clearly feel that the deeper they went, the stronger the Pokémon became…
---◓---
Just like usual, early in the morning Tetsuya had Piloswine use Blizzard, and the miasma from a large area was blown deeper inward.
However, the scene that appeared this time was somewhat awkward…
A Nidoking and a Nidoqueen had reached mating season, leading more than a dozen pairs of Nidorino and Nidorina in a mating ritual~♥, and it was in full swing when, when suddenly, a blast of cold air swept through, causing all the concealing miasma to disappear…
"""""…"""""
Many inexperienced Nidorino directly came immediately, drawing resentful gazes from their Nidorina mates…
𓆩₍ ✿˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎𓆪
At this moment, appearing before these Pokémon were Tetsuya and his five Pokémon…
Nidoking was even more furious. It had only just entered the "mood", and this feeling was simply more unbearable than being killed. Its eyes immediately glowed with red light!
"""""Nidooooo!"""""
With a loud roar, all of the Nidorino and Nidorina glared at Tetsuya with hostile eyes!
Meanwhile, the only thing Tetsuya was thinking about was how to distribute these opponents. He might as well send everyone out. He only needed Ditto to stay behind and protect him.
"The five of you, fight solo. The battle must end within ten minutes!"
After speaking, Tetsuya moved far away to avoid being caught in the battle. This was the first time within these two months that he had encountered such a big group, and they had even been in the middle of such a stimulating♥ activity.
Nidoking and Nidoqueen stood atop the rocks giving orders, while all of the Nidorino and Nidorina lowered their horns, and heads -Nidorina-, and charged toward Tetsuya's Pokémon.
More than twenty Pokémon charged with overwhelming momentum!
Haunter attacked first. After all, all of this was for its sake. Red light flickered within its eyes as Psychic had already locked onto the several Pokémon in the front row.
Silently and without warning, the first two groups of Nidorino and Nidorina collapsed, while all of the companions behind them were completely bewildered, looking around everywhere, utterly failing to notice Haunter using Psychic.
Taking advantage of the Nidorino group's panic, Houndoom unleashed Inferno and Fire Blast. All the Nidorino and Nidorina hit were afflicted with Burn status, while those directly struck by Fire Blast had already collapsed.
Haunter continuously hurled out Shadow Ball.
Piloswine's Icicle Spear also pierced through the field with repeated "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sounds.
Beedrill's speed had already reached unimaginable heights!
…For its level.
More than twenty Beedrill clones darted through the battlefield, leaving the entire group dazzled and unable to coordinate with one another, completely unable to determine where the attacks were coming from.
Golett began… well, rolling, and charged over with High Horsepower.
With a loud "bang!", several Nidorino and Nidorina were directly sent flying. One Nidorina was even smashed directly into the face of the Nidoking standing atop the rocks…
Nidoking sniffed the scent♥ on Nidorina's body, revealing an expression of enjoyment~
'Sure enough, young ones were better… The feeling, the smell… everything is different!'
…All of this was seen by Nidoqueen, who punched that Nidorina flying away before swinging her fist toward Nidoking.
"…?" (⊙⁽⁾ _ ⊙' )
Nidoking was also left somewhat bewildered by his suddenly enraged wife.
Tetsuya leisurely watched this battle. Haunter had already begun harvesting, because there was no longer any need for it to attack.
Nidoking and Nidoqueen were currently wrestling with one another when they suddenly realized there was no movement below anymore. In only a few short minutes, more than twenty Nidorino and Nidorina had already all fallen, and seven or eight had already died.
Furthermore, a Haunter was currently slaughtering(?) their subordinates…
Only then did Nidoking and Nidoqueen realize the danger. Where would they still have the leisure to care about personal matters? The two of them jumped down from the platform together.
Nidoking was the first to lower its horn and charge!
Houndoom was just preparing to attack when Piloswine stopped it.
Piloswine moved its four limbs and charged out, completely not inferior to Nidoking in momentum.
Tetsuya nodded. Piloswine wanted to compete with Nidoking in raw power. Nidoking itself belonged to the power-type category of Pokémon, so competing with it in strength truly placed Piloswine at a disadvantage.
Piloswine and Nidoking clashed together. Nidoking used both arms to push against Piloswine, while Piloswine kicked forward with its hind legs to attack. Nidoking also used all of its strength to resist.
However, after only a few seconds of stalemate, Nidoking was sent flying by Piloswine!
All of this was within Tetsuya's expectations. The Gravity training over time had long since forged Piloswine's extraordinary strength. Right now, it was completely a muscle pig.
The instant Nidoking was sent flying, Piloswine used Icicle Crash to seal it inside. Immediately afterward, three layers of ice pillars completely locked it down.
With this Nidoking's strength, those three rows of ice pillars were not so easy to destroy. Right now, Nidoking was merely a prisoner waiting for Haunter to come execute it.
When Nidoqueen saw Nidoking trapped, she let out a loud roar and charged toward Nidoking's position, wanting to rescue him. At this moment, Beedrill had already appeared behind Nidoqueen, thrusting out its twin stingers directly into Nidoqueen's… eh, weak point.
At this moment, Nidoqueen let out a wild cry, but there was also a trace of enjoyment♥ within the cry…
Nidoking inside the ice pillars could not see Nidoqueen's situation at all, but from Nidoqueen's cries, it knew it had been cuckolded!
Nidoking became even more frenzied, continuously smashing its fists against the ice pillars as its power suddenly doubled.
Beedrill used [Twin Fury] so rapidly that it became illusion-like shadows. In an instant, nearly every part of Nidoqueen's body had been stabbed through. This time, she truly rolled around the ground in pain.
It was also time to deal with this Nidoqueen first.
Beedrill's ability to torment others was absolutely first-rate. It could have completely used [Fatal Pursuit] to directly make Nidoqueen collapsed, yet it deliberately used Pin Missile instead. Amid endless waves of pain, Nidoqueen lost the ability to battle.
At this moment, Nidoking…
