Caterpie~~~
Caterpie stood up, shook its head, and listened to Ash's words. It looked up at Ash's eyes. It had been a little fearful initially, but as it met Ash's gaze, it gradually became inspired.
Caterpie!!
Caterpie's eyes also became firm. Ash saw this and revealed a knowing smile.
"Very good!"
"Honestly, he just knows how to show off. If he gets hurt, I won't... be there!" Misty couldn't help but giggle as she muttered, wanting to say she wouldn't care if he got hurt, but her body was still honest. When she saw Pidgeotto in the air, she couldn't help but shout again.
"Here it comes! Don't be afraid. Just like I taught you last night, use String Shot!" Ash looked up at the sky. Pidgeotto had already changed direction in the air, swooping down towards the ground, its body flashing with silver light. Its speed instantly increased. Ash was very familiar with this move and immediately gave Caterpie the command.
Caterpie heard the command and used String Shot as Ash instructed, but its target was not Pidgeotto. Because such an attack would be too easy for Pidgeotto to dodge, Caterpie listened to Ash's instructions, recalling yesterday's training. It turned its head towards the nearby jungle and released silk threads from its mouth. Misty, seeing this, paused slightly, a bit puzzled as to why Ash wasn't attacking Pidgeotto.
Pfft!
Before Misty could even wonder, in an instant, the silk threads released by Caterpie stuck to a nearby tree. Then, Caterpie directly used the silk threads to pull its body away. Pidgeotto whooshed past. Caterpie had just pulled itself towards the big tree, swinging onto the tree trunk. Pidgeotto's attack missed, and a hint of irritation seemed to appear in its sharp eyes.
Changing direction, it continued towards Caterpie. Ash calmly approached Caterpie while shouting.
"Continue to use String Shot!!"
Caterpie heard him, nodded, and continued to use String Shot, tying it to the next tree. It then swung its body over again, continuously dodging Pidgeotto's attacks by swinging like on a swing.
"What exactly does Ash want to do? String Shot doesn't do any damage, and it's already difficult enough just dodging Pidgeotto's attacks. How is he going to defeat it?"
Seeing this scene, Misty was also a bit anxious. Caterpie was a very weak Pokémon. It didn't know many moves. String Shot was one of them, but it dealt no damage. It could only be used to entangle opponents and slow them down. And now, it was already struggling just to dodge Pidgeotto's attacks; there was no chance to counterattack.
"Continue, release more String Shot!!" Ash didn't know what Misty was thinking, and he couldn't pay attention to her right now.
Caterpie~~~
Caterpie diligently executed Ash's command, continuously using String Shot, strengthening the force of the silk. It wasn't just one thread at a time; it released three or four threads at once, using continuous swinging to dodge.
"Ash can't defeat Pidgeotto just with String Shot. Let Pikachu go! Electric-type has an advantage over Flying-type; Pikachu has a better chance of winning."
"No, look closely." Ash heard this and shook his head seriously, his eyes sharp as he spoke faintly.
"Hm??" Misty was a bit confused. She looked ahead again, and her pupils suddenly constricted.
"This... this is!!!"
At this moment, in the area where Caterpie was moving, as Caterpie continuously used String Shot, swinging back and forth between the trees, the silk threads it released entangled between the trees.
At this point, Misty realized that Caterpie's movement area wasn't a random evasion, but a circular movement range. Pidgeotto had been following Caterpie, and before it knew it, it was surrounded. The intricate silk threads, like spider webs, had encircled Pidgeotto.
"Now you have nowhere to go! Caterpie, turn around and use String Shot!" Seeing that the time was right, Ash gave another command.
Caterpie swung onto a tree. This time, it didn't dodge. It turned and attacked Pidgeotto. Several silk threads were released from its mouth. Pidgeotto hadn't expected the constantly dodging Caterpie to suddenly counterattack. It didn't realize its surroundings. It instinctively tried to fly upwards to dodge, but just as it ascended, it sensed something was wrong.
It looked up and realized that its head was also covered with dense silk threads. As it rose, these threads directly stuck to its back and wings. Pidgeotto instinctively struggled, but when it struggled with force, the broken silk threads coiled around its body, instantly affecting its movements.
"Now, Caterpie, use Tackle!"
Seeing this, Ash seized the opportunity and gave a command. Caterpie's eyes narrowed, and it again used String Shot. Since Pidgeotto was still a bit far, it couldn't be hit directly. Using String Shot, the silk threads passed by Pidgeotto, then stuck to a tree behind it. Caterpie took the opportunity to pull its body, swinging directly forward.
Charging into the air, Pidgeotto, still struggling, looked up and saw Caterpie rushing towards it. It showed a panicked expression, but its wings were entangled by the silk threads, making it impossible to dodge. Caterpie, using the inertia from the silk threads, even increased its Tackle power.
Bang!!!
It directly collided with Pidgeotto in mid-air. This hit was powerful. Pidgeotto let out a low cry and was knocked away, crashing directly into a tree behind it.
"String Shot!!" Before Pidgeotto could fall, Caterpie had already landed. Ash immediately gave another command.
Pfft!!!!
Caterpie used String Shot with all its might. Several silk threads simultaneously shot from its mouth, directly hitting Pidgeotto, which was still recovering from its daze after crashing into the tree. The silk threads continuously wrapped around Pidgeotto's body.
Its body was already tangled with many silk threads, and after being directly hit by String Shot again, Pidgeotto was instantly wrapped in silk threads and tangled to the tree, like a silkworm cocoon.
Only its head was left outside. Ash saw this, ran forward, squeezed through the gaps in the silk, and then took out a Poké Ball.
"Go, Poké Ball!!" He seized the opportunity and threw the Poké Ball.
