Chapter 22: Leveling Up in the Flower Sea

"Could there be a large Fire Stone mine on this trial island?" This thought suddenly popped into Qingwu's mind. "How is that possible? If there really was a Fire Stone mine on the trial island, Team Rocket would have mined it themselves a long time ago." Qingwu laughed at himself.

"Let's go, Rayming, we have to leave here before we go down the mountain." The sun was already setting. Qingwu had to leave Arbok's territory before the sun went down. Many Arbok and Ekans were already active. The paralysis spray in Qingwu's hand couldn't hold off a swarm of Arbok.

Night fell quickly. Qingwu brought Rayming to the cave where they had stayed before. The cave was quite large, more than enough to accommodate two people. The forest at night was still extremely dangerous, as many high-level Pokémon only came out at night.

"Aron, use Rock Tomb." Qingwu let Aron seal the entire cave entrance before sighing. The campfire was already lit, and a few strings of fat fish were roasting by the fire.

"Rayming, send out Spinarak. I need to change Spinarak's medicine." After Spinarak came out, it still stayed there motionless. It seemed Spinarak was too deeply hurt by the fat man. "Its wound is almost healed, but I can't cure its emotional pain," Qingwu sighed.

"This is Bug-type specific Energy Block. Give Spinarak three pieces every day and it will be fine." Qingwu gave Rayming some Energy Blocks. Spinarak looked at the flickering campfire, watched Meowth playing with Electrike, and Rayming's eyes were filled with more affection.

Just then, a fleshy white paw reached out to Spinarak. Spinarak looked up and saw Meowth. Meowth opened its paw, and a small piece of Energy Block appeared in front of Spinarak.

"Meowth (Eat, it's very tasty. If you don't eat it, I'll throw it into the fire)," Meowth said proudly, its eyes full of concern. The aroma from the Energy Block spread.

Spinarak finally couldn't resist the temptation and swallowed it in one gulp, but it swallowed too fast and choked. Meowth then used a large leaf to scoop some spring water, and after Spinarak drank it, it felt a little better.

"This Meowth is very good." Qingwu saw everything Meowth did. "No wonder Rayming went mad after Meowth died, and even Electrike turned cold. Such a cute Pokémon that's everyone's favorite should live a long life." Meowth is also a Pokémon with a very long lifespan.

Qingwu examined Meowth's body and found that the residual poison in Meowth's body had been eliminated. After this, Meowth only needed to take Energy Blocks regularly to restore its foundation. This way, Meowth's potential would return to green.

With Rayming's addition, Qingwu was ready to level up. Near this cave were the territories of Arbok, Beautifly, and Pidgeotto, forming a triangle. If you passed through Pidgeotto's forest, and walked another two or three kilometers, you would reach Team Rocket's base.

Qingwu distributed the prepared Energy Blocks to everyone, and there was a chewing sound in the cave.

Aron's and Zubat's appetites were also getting bigger and bigger, and the Energy Blocks were helping them more and more. Qingwu and Rayming's dinner was grilled fish and Oran Berries, and a bowl of spring water. That's how they made do.

The next day, just as the sun rose, Qingwu took Rayming and headed towards the territory of Beedrill. Beedrill's territory bordered Beautifly's territory. At the border of the territories, there was a large area of beautiful flower sea.

Countless Beautifly and Beedrill were fluttering around in the flower sea, not disturbing each other, presenting a peaceful atmosphere.

"Let's start leveling up." Qingwu directly approached a Beedrill and began to let Aron train. Aron had defeated Arbok and directly leveled up to level 18. Aron had a natural advantage against Beedrill.

Rock-type is naturally effective against Beedrill's Bug-type. Moreover, Aron's Steel-type also made Beedrill's Poison-type attacks ineffective against itself.

A Beedrill that was collecting honey was directly smashed to the ground by a Rock Throw. After defeating this Beedrill, it was like poking a hornet's nest. Countless Beedrill flew over in groups. Their twin lances gleamed with a chilling light under the sun.

"Zubat, lure some of the Beedrill away." Qingwu shouted to Zubat. Zubat directly opened its mouth and confused some of the Beedrill.

"Aron, see if you can learn Rock Blast." Qingwu explained Rock Blast to Aron in detail, how to directly shoot rocks like bullets. Compared to Rock Tomb, which involves pulling rocks from the ground, and Rock Throw, which drops rocks from above, Rock Blast is a more offensive move. Moreover, the exploding rocks can cause secondary damage.

"Rayming, you currently have three Pokémon. You can have Meowth, Electrike, and Spinarak battle Beautifly." "After all, Beautifly is gentler. You can let Beautifly try these Energy Blocks." Qingwu took out some trimmings from the Energy Blocks he had made from his bracelet. Although they were trimmings, their effect was no worse than the Energy Blocks, they just didn't look as good.

Most of these Beedrill were around level 16. For Aron, they were pretty good experience points. Moreover, for an Aron that had used Iron Defense, Beedrill's attacks were simply insignificant to Aron. Beedrill's Twineedle attacks landed on Aron, not leaving even a white mark, let alone Beedrill's Twin Lance attack.

Qingwu saw many Beedrill actively attacking, their Twin Lances piercing Aron. Aron didn't take any damage, and instead, the Beedrill's Twin Lances broke from the recoil. Beedrill's Twin Lances are also consumables. After the Twin Lances break, new ones can grow within three days and fully recover within fifteen days.

When attacking Beedrill, Aron continuously used the Iron Defense move to strengthen its physical defense. Aron's base physical defense is 100. After being strengthened by Iron Defense, it increased significantly. Also, Beedrill is a Pokémon with only 80 physical attack.

Therefore, Aron took almost 0 damage. Aron, according to Qingwu's request, worked hard to condense the rock energy in its body. Aiming at the Beedrill in front of it, a giant rock materialized out of thin air and smashed towards the Beedrill. Unfortunately, the rock shattered into several pieces during the attack.

"Aron, remember this feeling. Compress the Rock-type energy; your speed can be faster." Qingwu saw Aron use Rock Blast, but unfortunately, the Rock-type energy wasn't compressed enough. It dispersed during the flight, so he reminded Aron.

"Zubat, be careful and control your speed." Qingwu saw Zubat playing with the Beedrill, twirling them around and getting a bit carried away, so he reminded it loudly. Rayming, meanwhile, challenged the Beautifly with Meowth.

{Beautifly (Dark Yellow), 22}

"This is a pretty good Beautifly," Qingwu concluded after scanning it with the system.
