Following Zhang Feng's capture of Pidgey, the original traveling party in Orange Forest, which consisted of one person and one Pokémon, transformed into an adventure with one person and two Pokémon!
Whenever they encountered wild Pokémon that intended to attack Zhang Feng, Pidgey and Treecko would each step forward to battle, thereby increasing their own battle experience!
Speaking of which, Pidgey and Treecko had long since reached the stage where they could evolve!
But reality is not a game; it's not as if you can evolve immediately just because you've reached the required level!
Therefore, Zhang Feng's plan was to have both of his Pokémon reach their second stage of evolution before arriving at Orange Blossom City!
In this way, the appearance of Forest Gecko and Pidgeotto could naturally greatly enhance Zhang Feng's strength!
It could also play its proper role in the subsequent Gym challenges!
Currently, Treecko is level 19, and Pidgey is level 17. The reason their levels rose quite quickly is naturally because there are a large number of wild Pokémon in Orange Forest!
However, the area between Littleroot Town and Orange Blossom City is only the outermost part of Orange Forest, so the wild Pokémon Zhang Feng encountered generally did not exceed level 12!
Facing such opponents, Treecko and Pidgey, having reached this level, gained very little battle experience. In this area, they were practically invincible!
Therefore, what was gained from battling in Orange Forest was instead the tacit understanding between Zhang Feng and his two Pokémon, as well as their slowly increasing intimacy!
As for the increase in levels, it was mostly gained through simulated battles within Zhang Feng's System Space. This is how Treecko and Pidgey reached their current strength in just a few days!
To encourage the two little ones to evolve, Zhang Feng also prepared an excellent opponent for them!
Since opponents of the same or lower level could no longer put pressure on the two little ones, they would challenge opponents far stronger than themselves in simulated battles!
Only pressure can drive Pokémon to unleash their deeper power and evolve!
"System, simulate opponents for Treecko and Pidgey. Let Treecko and Pidgey, with their current strength, take on the greatest possible challenge to encourage them to evolve!"
Upon receiving Zhang Feng's command, the system immediately began selecting opponents!
Soon, two brand new Pokémon appeared opposite Treecko and Pidgey!
They were none other than a level 23 Lichick and a level 21 Pikachu!
These two were the opponents for Treecko and Pidgey, respectively!
Type advantage, coupled with a clear level advantage, exceeding four levels, was enough to bring immense pressure to Treecko and Pidgey!
After seeing their opponents, Zhang Feng also spoke to Pidgey and Treecko!
"In this battle, the three of us must cooperate closely for a double battle. Strive to defeat your opponents, let yourselves evolve, and possess even greater power!"
After receiving Zhang Feng's encouragement, the two little ones, Treecko and Pidgey, also cried out in unison, displaying their high fighting spirit!
Treecko itself had always yearned to become stronger, so it was quite looking forward to and eager for battle and evolution!
And Pidgey, ever since following Zhang Feng, was also willing to fight hard for him, so both little ones were very eager to evolve!
Soon, the double battle began!
Following Zhang Feng's command, the double battle commenced!
Facing opponents with double type advantage against them, who were also evolved forms, the pressure on Treecko and Pidgey was immense!
With Pidgey's stamina, if it were hit by a Thunderbolt from Pikachu, it would likely be completely depleted and enter a fainted state. And if Lichick used Jet Flame, Treecko would also almost certainly fall!
Therefore, in this battle, even though it was a simulated battle, the two little ones, fighting for strength and evolution, dared not be negligent at all. Instead, their spirits were highly tense!
"Strike first! Go, Treecko, Pidgey! Both use Quick Attack and charge towards your opponents simultaneously!"
Upon receiving Zhang Feng's command, Treecko and Pidgey immediately let out a loud cry. White light instantly appeared behind them, and the increase in speed propelled them towards Pikachu and Lichick!
As Treecko and Pidgey initiated their attack, Pikachu and Lichick also began to move!
Pikachu immediately made a decision, also using Quick Attack, charging directly towards Pidgey. Lichick, on the other hand, opened its mouth and spat out a stream of fire, which was none other than the Jet Flame skill!
The next moment, when all four Pokémon used their skills, Pidgey's speed was naturally inferior to the evolved Pikachu!
So, when Pikachu charged towards Pidgey, relying on its greater power and speed, Pidgey was still knocked Flying after a few seconds of deadlock with Pikachu!
"Pidgey!"
Hearing Pidgey's cry of pain, Treecko's expression also changed. It was about to act, but facing the Jet Flame skill unleashed by Lichick, it had no choice but to regain its focus. Fortunately, at the last moment, it narrowly dodged!
In the first round, Treecko and Pidgey already felt immense pressure!
"Pidgey, fly into the sky, regroup, then use Wing Attack and swoop down on Lichick; Treecko, now's your chance, hit Pikachu with Seed Machine Gun!"
Upon hearing Zhang Feng's command, the two little ones, who were a bit discouraged and felt their opponents were too strong, quickly snapped back to attention, let out a loud cry, and launched a counterattack!
Their opponents had just finished attacking, so there would naturally be a moment of pause!
Therefore, this was Treecko and Pidgey's opportunity. Furthermore, compared to the opponent's type advantage, if Treecko targeted Pikachu and Pidgey dealt with Lichick!
Then, the opponent's type advantage would no longer exist!
The next moment, countless green bullets were seen pouring down frantically towards Pikachu. Pikachu, who had just knocked Pidgey Flying, didn't dodge in time and was hit head-on by Seed Machine Gun, letting out a painful cry!
Meanwhile, Pidgey flew back into the sky, used Wing Attack, and swooped straight towards Lichick!
Dealing with Flying-type Pokémon made Lichick a bit uncomfortable, so after several entanglements with Pidgey, Wing Attack actually struck Lichick squarely on the head!
Fighting-type Pokémon naturally take considerable damage when hit by a Flying-type skill!
After their counterattack was effective, the two little ones also showed a hint of a smile!
But soon, the opponent's sharp attack arrived again!
This time, Pikachu directly used Thunderbolt, covering the entire battle arena, almost completely engulfing Lichick, Treecko, and Pidgey!
Facing this attack, Zhang Feng immediately said!
"Pidgey, fly high into the sky; Treecko, use Giga Drain, aim for Pikachu!"
Upon hearing Zhang Feng's words, Pidgey quickly left the electric field, but the power of Thunderbolt, with its large coverage area, still grazed Pidgey!
Being hit by an Electric-type attack also caused Pidgey to fall!
Treecko, on the other hand, used Giga Drain, and then, relying on the Grass-type Pokémon's resistance to Electric-type Pokémon, it firmly endured this attack!
To Zhang Feng's surprise, Lichick, being Pikachu's teammate, was also fully hit by Thunderbolt, and its stamina dropped significantly!
When this attack ended, Pidgey was completely blackened, but it still desperately tried to get up from the ground and fly back into the sky!
Treecko was also panting heavily, but its gaze was fixed intently on its opponent!
"Pidgey, Treecko, don't give up! The battle isn't over yet!"
Hearing Zhang Feng's shout, Pidgey also used all its strength, its two wings pressing firmly against the ground, and then let out a sharp cry!
At this moment, the light of evolution on Pidgey's body appeared first!
