43. Butterfree

Hearing the explosion behind him, Ash turned his head in surprise after landing and saw a puff of smoke in the air. If he read it correctly, it was Swift just now, and he didn't have time to react to what had happened.

In the black smoke, several Beedrills fell, but some of them penetrated the smoke and continued to attack Ash, their Stingers emitting silver light.

"they are using Twineedle! It's dangerous!" the samurai boy shouted hurriedly.

There was no way to dodge. It was a critical moment as Ash held Metapod in his arms. A deeply moved look emerged in Metapod's eyes.

As Beedrill raised its spike to strike, Metapod's eyes suddenly became firm, and it exerted force. Ash, looking behind him, didn't notice Metapod's sudden movement.

Before Ash could respond, Metapod broke free and jumped into the air, directly hitting the oncoming Beedrill.

Boom!

The two figures collided in the air. Metapod's body was still hard from repeatedly using Harden. It hit Beedrill's stingers with force.

The light on Beedrill's stingers dissipated instantly, and under the powerful Tackle, Beedrill's stingers cracked. But Metapod's power didn't stop, and it slammed into Beedrill, knocking it out.

However, only one Beedrill was knocked away. Metapod floated in the air as Ash got up and turned around. Other Beedrills rushed toward Metapod frantically.

Although its physical defense had become stronger, there were too many opponents. Metapod had used the jumping Tackle to generate power, but now it was in the air, struggling to parry, and it was a critical moment...

Boom!

Suddenly, Metapod's body emitted a burst of dazzling light. The Beedrills in front were illuminated by the light. With their keen eyesight, the light was blinding to them.

Under the light, the Beedrills stopped one after another. Everyone looked at the sky in surprise.

"This light is...!" The samurai boy was full of surprise.

"Evolution!" Ash stood below, looking at the light in the sky, and suddenly heard a crackling sound.

Crack!

At the front end of Metapod's silhouette shrouded in light, a crack appeared. From it, a different blue light emerged, then a clear white light.

Something protruded from the crack and slowly opened, gradually covering Metapod's body. As it swung slightly, something fell to the ground.

It was Metapod's carapace, now cracked and empty inside.

Boom!

Mi~~~~~

Wings fluttered slightly, and the light on its body dissipated, revealing a new figure that made a low buzzing sound.

"Butterfree!" Ash exclaimed. He knew the evolution would be fast, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. After defeating Pidgeotto, Pinsir, and then fighting Team Rocket and Beedrill, Metapod had accumulated a lot of experience.

Butterfree's body was dark blue and purple, with huge white wings veined in black. Unlike real butterflies, Butterfree had only four limbs. It had large red compound eyes, a nose connected to its mouth, and slender black antennae growing from its head. As it flapped its huge wings, scale powder scattered into the air.

Buzz buzz!

Everyone marveled at Butterfree's evolution, but the piercing sound of Beedrills rushing over interrupted their awe.

"Ash, beware!"

"Don't worry! Butterfree, use Sleep Powder! Pidgeotto, use Hurricane!" Ash's eyes flashed with determination.

Mi~~~

Beep!

Butterfree immediately flapped its wings, scattering a stream of blue and white powder. At the same time, Pidgeotto flew to the other side of Butterfree.

The moment Butterfree used Sleep Powder, Pidgeotto also swayed its 2 wings, instantly creating a huge air current. A storm blew ahead, blocking the movement of the Beedrills in front.

At the same time, the storm carried the Sleep Powder released by Butterfree forward faster. The combination of the two moves produced an extraordinary effect as Butterfree continued to flap its wings, releasing more Sleep Powder into the storm.

As the amount of Sleep Powder increased, the Beedrills in the air fell from the sky one after another. Without a fierce battle, they were hypnotized by the Sleep Powder and fell asleep on the ground.

"Well done, well done!" Ash praised Butterfree and Pidgeotto, clenching his fists in excitement.

"Pika pika!" Pikachu next to him also jumped up to celebrate.

"Great job, Ash," Misty said, breathing a sigh of relief and lightly stroking her chest.

"Is this guy really a rookie trainer? Not only can he use a newly evolved Butterfree, but he can also command two Pokémon simultaneously," the samurai boy thought. "Facing the Beedrill group, which even rangers and the fierce Pokémon in the forest avoid, he showed no fear."

The samurai boy was amazed. Although he had encountered several trainers from Pallet Town who were all impressively strong, Ash gave him the strongest sense of confidence and skill.

As Pidgeotto landed on Ash's shoulder and Butterfree gently settled on Ash's hat, Pikachu watched them with admiration. The samurai boy looked at the harmonious scene and felt he understood why Ash was so remarkable.

"What an incredible guy!" he sighed.
