Chapter 122 - Chapter 122: Aptitude and Strength

"Pidgeotto, let's check your aptitude!"

After the excitement of Pidgeotto's evolution faded, Icarus took out the Poké Ball and said.

"Pidgeotto~"

Pidgeotto nodded, tapped the Poké Ball's button with its beak, and turned into a red light as it returned inside.

"Alright! Time for my golden finger to do its job!"

Holding the Poké Ball, Icarus placed it into the slot of his Pokédex with a hint of excitement.

Click!

The sound of the Poké Ball locking into place sounded incredibly pleasant to him.

"Beep—Information loading.

Pokémon: Pidgeotto

Type: Flying / Normal

Category: Bird Pokémon

Height: 1.21 m

Weight: XX kg

Description: Pidgeotto patrols its vast territory from the sky. If anyone dares intrude, it punishes them mercilessly with its sharp claws. Its talons are especially well developed and should not be underestimated.

Aptitude: High-tier Good

Strength: Low-level Normal

Status: Healthy

Training Notes: Pidgeotto has a natural talent for controlling Flying-type energy. Training should focus primarily on developing Flying-type moves, though its powerful claws should not be neglected…"

"That was definitely worth the 40,000 Pokédollars!"

After hearing the Pokédex's evaluation, Icarus was extremely excited. Pidgeotto had also reached high-tier good aptitude.

Although his recent windfall had shrunk quite a bit, the remaining 25,000 Pokédollars in his card should still be enough for the next stage of training.

"Come out, Pidgeotto!"

"Your aptitude is excellent! We're only one step away from becoming Pidgeot!"

As soon as Pidgeotto appeared, Icarus happily shared the news.

"Spri! Spri!"

Weepinbell, standing nearby, also celebrated Pidgeotto's progress.

"Pidgeotto? Pidgeotto!"

At first Pidgeotto looked confused, but after hearing Icarus's explanation and Weepinbell's congratulations, it quickly became delighted.

"Pidgeotto~!"

It began flying circles through the air, venting its excitement.

"Alright, Pidgeotto. Let's do a quick strength test. Tomorrow we'll examine things more carefully."

Seeing Pidgeotto getting carried away again, Icarus stopped it.

"Pidgeotto…"

Hearing the command, Pidgeotto obediently landed in front of him.

"Pidgeotto, did you learn any new moves during evolution? Show us if you did."

Icarus bent down, gently stroking its smooth feathers.

"Pidgeotto!"

Pidgeotto closed its eyes for a moment in thought, then nodded and flew back into the air.

Whoosh—whoosh!

It began flapping its wings rapidly as Flying-type energy gathered around them.

About ten meters away, small tornadoes began forming one after another.

Grass clippings and loose dirt were pulled into the swirling winds as the power grew stronger with each flap of Pidgeotto's wings.

"That's… Twister!"

"Awesome, Pidgeotto! We finally have a real area attack!"

After observing the attack's range, Icarus nodded with satisfaction. This move would be extremely useful for clearing weaker opponents in group battles.

At the same time, he was already considering ways to improve the move later.

"Any others, Pidgeotto?"

After the tornado dissipated, he asked expectantly.

"Pidgeotto!"

Pidgeotto nodded again and began flapping its wings once more.

Whoosh—whoosh!

This time the wind felt even stronger.

"Is that just Gust?"

Icarus frowned slightly. It looked stronger, but it didn't seem like a new move.

Crack—crack!

Suddenly, he noticed deep cracks forming on the wooden training post Pidgeotto was attacking.

"What…?"

He walked over and examined the marks closely after Pidgeotto stopped.

Several deep cutting lines were carved into the wood.

"This is a weaker version of Air Slash!"

Icarus's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Pidgeotto, you achieved exactly what we hoped for before! That's amazing!"

"Let's call this move Wind Blade!"

Turning toward Pidgeotto, who was slightly out of breath, he praised it enthusiastically while naming the technique.

"Pidgeotto!"

Being praised by Icarus made Pidgeotto extremely happy.

"Alright. If that's everything, let's rest early tonight."

"You just evolved, so save your strength. Tomorrow we'll do a more detailed strength test."

Icarus noticed Pidgeotto breathing a little heavily. It had just evolved and hadn't fully adapted yet.

"Pidgeotto…"

Pidgeotto didn't insist on continuing. It also felt mentally exhausted after the evolution.

After nodding to Weepinbell, it flew up to a wooden beam inside the house and quickly fell asleep.

"Alright," Icarus said while turning toward Weepinbell.

"Now it's your turn. Let's study the training manuals."

"Spri?"

Weepinbell scratched its head with one of its large leaves, clearly confused.

"Haha, it's fine. I just need you to cooperate. I'll handle the reading."

Icarus laughed and took out his new computer along with the two USB drives.

"Team Rocket—illuminating your world, igniting your extraordinary dreams!"

Seeing the startup advertisement, Icarus couldn't help feeling speechless.

"Even their computers come with ads…"

Once the system finished loading, he tested a few functions.

The device worked like a normal computer, except it contained a special website where Team Rocket missions could be accessed, along with a reward exchange list.

"Pretty secure… it even requires live facial recognition to log in."

"Alright, time to open the training manual."

He inserted the USB drive containing the Weepinbell training guide.

A new drive appeared on the computer.

After opening it, he found a detailed electronic document.

Reading through it, he quickly realized something.

You really can't underestimate the intelligence of people in this world.

The guide was far more professional than the training methods he had improvised himself.

After finishing the full document, he focused on the sections most relevant to Weepinbell's current condition.

The first topic covered daily care and feeding.

The guide explained that purple spots on Weepinbell indicated strong poison glands, meaning it had particularly high talent for Poison-type abilities.

Because of this, its daily diet needed adjustment. Otherwise, that natural talent would be wasted.

The recommended feeding method was:

For each meal, combine

• one mid-grade Grass-type Energy Cube

• one low-grade Poison-type Energy Cube

• about one kilogram of low- to mid-level Pokémon meat to provide trace nutrients.

Among meat options, Poison-type Pokémon meat was considered the most beneficial.
