Chapter 13: The Swarm of Beedrill VS Fusion of Wind, Fire, and Thunder!
"Everyone! Did you forget about me?"
Just after Ash, May, and Misty left Pallet Town, a familiar voice called out behind them.
"Ah! That voice is!"
"Brock! You really came!"
The one who arrived was Brock.
Brock couldn't stay at home and wanted to continue traveling with Ash.
Although Ash had a basic culinary skill from the system rewards, Brock's cooking was definitely at an advanced level.
"Of course, Ash's new journey means I should embark on my new quest for love too. Plus, if you eat the food I make, you'll have more energy!"
Brock was looking refreshed, with a brand new backpack, clothes, and pants.
Hearing Brock's so-called quest for love, the other three couldn't help but cover their foreheads in disbelief.
"Ash, I heard you're going to challenge the Battle Frontier in the Kanto region, so I checked the locations of each battle area before coming. Our first target is the Battle Factory near Cerulean City. From Pallet Town, we just need to cross Mount Moon to reach Cerulean Cave near Cerulean City."
Brock made his signature gesture, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
"No wonder it's Brock! Let's go!"
Ash nodded, planning to check out the Moonlight Dance of the Clefairy on Mount Moon.
So, Ash, Brock, May, and Misty headed towards the Battle Factory near Cerulean City.
They set off in the morning, and after having lunch on the way, they arrived at the foot of Mount Moon.
"It's a pity that Max isn't here. I remember he told me he really wanted to see the Clefairy's Moonlight Dance."
After finishing lunch, everyone began to head up Mount Moon.
May thought about her brother Max.
"On a full moon night, at the top of Mount Moon, Clefairy and Clefable will dance around the Moon Stone. Tonight is a full moon, so let's go check it out! We'll come down tomorrow morning and arrive at the first Battle Frontier."
"Pika Pika!"
After Ash finished speaking, Pikachu raised both paws in agreement.
"Wow, the Moonlight Dance! You can't see that in Hoenn; I'm so excited!"
Misty quickly shifted her attention.
Ash released his Aura Power to sense the surroundings, checking for any signs of Team Rocket.
According to the original plot, Team Rocket should appear at this moment.
"Is it the butterfly effect that changed Team Rocket's arrival?"
"Pika?"
Hearing Ash's mumble, Pikachu looked curiously at Ash.
"It's nothing, Pikachu. Let's have a race, everyone! Let's see who can reach the top first, haha, I'm off!"
Ash ran towards the top of the mountain.
"Pika!"
Pikachu chased after him.
"Be careful, Ash!"
"Everyone, hurry up and catch up!"
Brock, May, and Misty also started running after him.
A gentle breeze blew through the forest.
The air was filled with the natural fragrance of flowers and trees, which was very pleasant.
But before long, a scream broke out:
"Ah! It's a swarm of Beedrill! Ash, think of something quickly! I'm really scared of bug Pokémon!"
A Swarm of Beedrill!
They were probably the most dangerous presence in the forest!
Just through the thicket they had passed, there were Beedrill and Kakuna.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
A large number of Beedrill appeared!
"Okay, in that case, Pidgeot, Ponyta, and Pikachu, it's up to you!"
"Pidge!"
"Ponyta!"
"Pika!"
Pidgeot, Ponyta, and Pikachu stood in front of the approaching swarm of Beedrill.
"Eh? Is that Ponyta? When did Ash catch a Ponyta? So cool!"
Misty looked at Ponyta enviously; it really was impressive!
"And this Pidgeot, I didn't expect Ash to have brought back Pidgeot. But is it really okay? There are at least dozens of Beedrill!"
Brock frowned. Encountering a Swarm of Beedrill had dampened his mood considerably.
With Pidgeot, Pikachu, and Ponyta blocking the way, the Beedrill Swarm showed no signs of stopping and seemed ready to attack!
Ash used his Aura Vision to check the levels of these Beedrill; most were between levels 15-30.
A few were above level 30, with the highest at level 35.
"Very good, we should be able to handle this!"
Ash was unfazed, stepping forward and intentionally blocking May and Misty behind him, saying:
"Pidgeot, use your strongest Hurricane!"
"Ponyta, combine with Pidgeot and use Flame Vortex; your attack direction must be the same!"
"Pikachu, coordinate with them and use Electro Ball while spinning!"
The three Pokémon unleashed their skills simultaneously!
With two months of training results, Ash combined the powers of wind, fire, and electricity to create a skill, perfectly suited to test against the Swarm of Beedrill today!
In the next moment, a dazzling fusion skill appeared!
