"I'll give you another Pokémon, an Ekans with Yellow aptitude. No crying!!!"
The fatty's older brother saw the fatty's mouth droop and knew he was unhappy.
"This Ekans is tamed and will obey your commands 100%. Alright, don't tell anyone about our relationship outside. Otherwise, we'll be caught by the omnipresent Team Rocket's Anbu and receive brutal punishment."
"If Mom and Dad hadn't asked me to take care of you before they died, I really wouldn't want to acknowledge you as my younger brother."
The fatty's older brother directly pushed the fatty out the door and slammed the door shut.
"You bastard, I'm going to tear you limb from limb!" The fatty recalled Qingwu's smiling eyes, full of resentment.
"No, I still feel like I'll be implicated by the fatty. I need to quickly apply to return to the Team Rocket branch!"
The fatty's older brother knew his brother's nature and quickly packed his luggage. His biggest mistake this time was following him to this Trial Island.
When the fatty's older brother opened the door, two Team Rocket members wearing masks and black robes had already appeared outside.
"Da Sanlang, is it? You're involved in violating the rules for trial participants and need to be investigated by the Anbu. You should know about the Anbu, right? Don't resist, just surrender."
The black-robed man's voice was disguised, coming from behind the mask. He was juggling two Poké Balls in his hands. Da Sanlang, the fatty's older brother, lowered his head, his expression dejected, and was taken away by the Anbu.
Meanwhile, Qingwu and Leiming encountered trouble. They ran into a growing swarm of Beedrill. Basically, the entire forest was filled with Weedle, and the rustling sound could be heard everywhere.
"Boss, do we really have to go this way? Aren't you afraid of alerting the Beedrill? A swarm of Beedrill is not easy to mess with."
Leiming's scalp tingled at the sight of the numerous Weedle.
Weedle = Kakuna = Beedrill. A Weedle that eats quickly will evolve into a Kakuna in three days. A Kakuna will usually turn into a formidable Beedrill in seven days. Furthermore, if a Kakuna is stimulated externally, it will also evolve into a Beedrill, but its aptitude will be slightly worse because it hasn't accumulated enough energy. Beedrill's prototype is the hornet, and it is also a dominant force in the forest. It's not that a single Beedrill is particularly strong, but that Beedrill is a Pokémon that attacks in groups. If even one Beedrill's attention is attracted, a whole swarm of Beedrill will chase you.
"Relax, relax, it's fine, Leiming, come over here."
Qingwu took out a jade-green ointment from his bracelet. He scooped some out with his finger and applied it to Leiming's wrist. "This is an insect repellent ointment. It contains a scent that Bug-type Pokémon hate," Qingwu said to Leiming.
"Meowth, a little bit too," Qingwu put some insect repellent ointment on Meowth's paw pad. "For ordinary Pokémon, this smell is not unpleasant, but for Bug-type Pokémon, it's like smelling the scent they hate the most," Qingwu explained.
"Let's go," Qingwu applied some ointment to Golbat as well, then led Leiming and Meowth directly into the depths of the forest.
Indeed, the Weedle seemed to smell an unpleasant scent and all veered off, leaving a clear path ahead. However, in a primeval forest like Trial Island, it was a bit troublesome. There were bushes and branches everywhere, and there were no smooth paths. Although Qingwu had the insect repellent ointment, it didn't mean it was completely safe.
Golbat flapped its wings, spreading the scent of the insect repellent ointment. At the same time, with countless wind blades, it cut down bushes and branches, clearing a path wide enough for one person to pass through.
So, Qingwu and Leiming walked, stopping and starting, until they stopped under a massive tree that could accommodate ten people hugging it. Larvitar excitedly rushed out of its Poké Ball, its little hands excitedly pointing at the base of the big tree, as if saying there was some treasure underground.
Just as Larvitar was about to use Rock Slide to push the treasure out of the ground, Qingwu looked up and felt his scalp tingle. The massive ancient tree was densely covered with cocoons that looked like gold. A giant beehive was located above the tree, with countless Beedrill flying in and out.
"Larvitar, use Dig and get the treasure out," Qingwu whispered to Larvitar. Facing such a large number of Beedrill, even Qingwu, who had once been a Champion Trainer, wasn't confident. He just wanted to quickly get the treasure and leave.
Even if Qingwu's Pokémon could deal with some of the Beedrill, they could only barely hold out for a while. After losing their stamina, Pokémon would be like lambs to the slaughter, eventually becoming food for the Beedrill.
Larvitar dug a hole and burrowed underground. Qingwu saw a small pile of earth heading straight for the base of the tree. However, Larvitar's movements weren't large, and they didn't attract the attention of the Beedrill swarm. After about ten minutes, Larvitar emerged from underground, spitting out a palm-sized piece of brownish-yellow amber. There was also a silver-white bee sting inside the amber.
"This bee sting's appearance is too perfect." This was the first time Qingwu had seen such a perfect bee sting. Generally, after a Beedrill dies, its sting will directly become brittle. Beedrill stings are extremely rare Poison-type materials, especially those left by naturally deceased Beedrill. The longer they are preserved, the stronger the sting's toxicity. From the age of the amber, Qingwu estimated that this Beedrill was likely from the first generation of Beedrill on Trial Island.
Qingwu solemnly placed the amber into his bracelet and stroked Larvitar's head. "Thank you, Larvitar, I'm very satisfied with this." Qingwu smiled. Qingwu realized that ever since he got used to smiling, his expression was no longer stiff, and he could genuinely smile from the bottom of his heart. It seemed his personality had changed a lot since his rebirth.
"Let's go quickly." Although Beedrill honey was an excellent tonic, Qingwu would be suicidal to take such a big risk to offend countless Beedrill and Kakuna. Just as Qingwu and Leiming passed the tree surrounded by Beedrill and headed towards the Arbok forest, Qingwu heard a loud shout from afar behind him: "Koffing, use Self-Destruct!"
"What the f*ck, which idiot is this?" Qingwu and Leiming cursed under their breath. They sped up their pace, trying to get out of the Beedrill's territory. Beedrill are very territorial Pokémon. Once they are outside their territory, Beedrill will not continue to pursue.
"Buzz buzz buzz," the sound of flapping wings rang in his ears. Qingwu turned his head and saw countless Beedrill flying in the air. A trial participant with a Pidgeotto was in the air, but he failed to break through the Beedrill's encirclement and was finally hit by the Beedrill's Pin Missile. He fell from the air, and the Beedrill, having lost their target, quickly turned their attention to Qingwu and Leiming.
Qingwu and Leiming wished they had more legs, cursing those idiots under their breath the entire time.
