The melee between Beedrill, Ariados, and Whismur attracted the attention of countless wild Pokémon, and no one noticed the human figure that flashed by in the night.
Lin Fan stood in the Beedrill’s territory, listening to the continuous battle sounds in the distance, and sneered.
He took out the last few Bug-type energy cubes from his body and threw them not far away, watching a group of Weedle being attracted.
He then quietly snuck into the grotto.
There were very few things inside the grotto, only a small puddle about the size of a washbasin containing a lot of golden honey, and some miscellaneous items beside it.
“Honey?”
Lin Fan frowned, wondering why there was honey in the Beedrill colony when they didn’t have the ability to make honey.
However, the Weedle that had been released immediately pounced on it, devouring the honey in large gulps, as if it had a great attraction for them.
“It seems this is it.”
Lin Fan glanced at the scene outside the grotto.
Although he had used energy cubes to lure the Weedle away, the Kakuna had witnessed him entering the cave.
At this moment, many Kakuna were showing slight signs of movement, as if they could Shell Smash at any moment.
“Kakuna will choose to evolve early when encountering danger; I need to speed up.”
Lin Fan took a deep breath and looked at the honey that filled the small puddle.
Even with the Weedle’s astonishing appetite and eating speed, it couldn’t clear it out in a short time.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Fan gritted his teeth and also lay down to drink the honey.
Hmm, not bad, it tasted really good.
Without time to savor it too much, Lin Fan worked hard to eliminate the honey in front of him while motioning the Weedle to go faster with his eyes.
Seeing Lin Fan also join in, Weedle knew that it was a race against time.
Swallowing a mouthful of honey, Weedle looked up and took a deep breath, Bug-type energy gathering in its mouth.
Bug Bite!
With the help of Bug Bite, Weedle directly ate in a spiral, inhaling like a storm, and quickly took all the honey into its stomach.
“Woo~”
Weedle lay on the ground, its belly bulging high, almost as round as a Poké Ball, so full that its eyes rolled back.
Lin Fan only ate a few mouthfuls of honey, and his whole body felt a slight warmth, and his stamina seemed to have recovered to full.
This honey was indeed a great tonic, but he just didn’t know how the Beedrill got it.
A faint buzzing sound rang out, and Lin Fan realized that some Kakuna had already evolved early.
He immediately recalled Weedle into its Poké Ball and ran out.
As soon as he exited the cave, a furious Beedrill charged at him.
Lin Fan swiftly covered its head with his completely empty backpack and slipped past the startled Beedrill.
Returning along the path he came, Lin Fan once again jumped into the water with a “plop.”
Looking at the few Beedrill that had chosen to evolve early, hesitating and pacing by the shore, a brilliant smile appeared on his face, and he extended his right hand, giving a big middle finger.
“Thanks for the hospitality, I’ll be back when I have a chance!”
His voice echoed in the air, while Lin Fan’s figure had long disappeared with the current.
......
A ray of morning light appeared in the sky, piercing through the gloomy night.
Lin Fan lay at the entrance of the forest, deeply breathing the hard-won fresh air.
“I made it out alive.”
He sat up, released Weedle from its Poké Ball, and was about to high-five the little guy when he saw a brilliant white light.
The light of evolution!
Lin Fan’s eyes lit up, and he stared unblinkingly at Weedle’s figure, watching it gradually transform its body within the white light, its whole body enveloped by a cocoon.
As the light dissipated, a huge pupa appeared on the spot.
It was pale yellow all over, with a rounded head and black triangular eyes, and scythe-like arms in the middle of its body.
Kakuna!
However, this Kakuna was slightly different from those wild Kakuna; its belly was very round, and the entire pupa was almost as fat as a Poké Ball.
Looking at the motionless Kakuna, which seemed to have seen through everything, Lin Fan wished he could laugh up to the sky three times to declare his joy at this moment.
Kakuna looked at Lin Fan, who was so happy he was almost dancing, silently rolled its eyes, and continued to lie flat and motionless.
It was so full it could burst; if it hadn’t evolved, it would have thrown up right there.
But after eating so many good things this time, it must become very strong after it evolves, right?
Hehe, finally I can protect Lin Fan!
Thinking this, Kakuna’s body also began to show signs of change.
Its outer shell gradually cracked, and the body inside slowly broke free, separating from the outermost pale yellow shell.
Shed Skin!
Weedle’s characteristics include Swarm and Escape, but after evolving into Kakuna, both will change to Shed Skin, which is the same as Caterpie’s evolution, Metapod.
Shed Skin means that Kakuna has absorbed some of the energy stored in its body, and its strength has advanced further.
When the Shed Skin is completely finished, it will be the time for Kakuna to evolve into Beedrill!
Lin Fan looked at this scene with some surprise, not expecting Kakuna’s first Shed Skin to come so quickly.
It seemed that the energy in its body had already reached an astonishing level.
He looked at the bright sky, then at the sparse trees around and the absence of any Pokémon.
Lin Fan took off his wet clothes, wrung them dry, and spread them one by one on the open ground.
He sat cross-legged beside Kakuna, not in a hurry to recall it.
Although this journey was very dangerous, the gains were also immense.
Weedle evolved into Kakuna, and after the energy is digested, it can evolve into Beedrill, at which point its strength will undoubtedly have a qualitative leap.
At the same time, its characteristic will also change to Sniper (characteristic), which, combined with Focus Energy and a Scope Lens, will allow for 100% critical hits, undoubtedly greatly increasing its damage.
“There are Focus Energy secret manuals at the Fighting Dojo; I might have to go and learn from them then, but I don’t know what the conditions are for learning this technique.”
After a moment of thought, the images of those two Ariados appeared in Lin Fan’s mind.
Although he didn’t know why, with their strength, they appeared on the outskirts of Water Moon Forest, this did not prevent Lin Fan from writing them down in his little notebook.
He didn’t have enough strength to get revenge in the short term, but in no more than three months, he would definitely bring Beedrill to beat the guts out of those two Ariados.
And that group of Beedrill!
Don’t think a little broken honey can buy him off!
Oh, he forgot, he picked that up himself from the roadside, what did it have to do with that group of Beedrill?
Lin Fan gritted his teeth, looking at his injured arm, feeling indignant.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Fan got up and put on his dry clothes, recalled Kakuna into its Poké Ball, and turned to walk out of Water Moon Forest.
The wilderness exploration was temporarily over, and it was time to rest for a while.
