"I am a warrior, and these days I've been training my Pokémon in Viridian Forest, but I was beaten up by three Trainers from Masara Town."
"So I made a solemn vow: I will never lose to a fourth Trainer from Masara Town!" a young Shorts Warrior in a samurai outfit said.
"So, that's why you attacked us?" Xiao Zhi looked at the plastic samurai sword, broken by Pikachu's tail, and was speechless.
The situation was like this: the next morning, Xiao Zhi and his group were preparing to head to Pewter City (the official translation of Nibishi).
However, they ran into this cosplay-loving Shorts Warrior.
When this person learned that Xiao Zhi was from Masara Town, he immediately raised his samurai sword and tried to strike Xiao Zhi without a word.
Who could tolerate that? Pikachu was just practicing how to use Iron Tail, and seeing such a situation, he immediately blocked the samurai sword with his tail.
As it turned out, this thing was made of plastic and was instantly cut off by Pikachu's tail.
It must be said that when Li Qingfeng saw this episode back then, he really wanted to scold this Shorts Warrior for perfectly embodying double standards, and felt he needed a good lesson.
To let him know how dangerous this society can be.
The Shorts Warrior said indignantly, "Then let's have a Pokémon battle!"
Xiao Zhi's blood boiled upon hearing this. He pulled out the poké ball containing Metapod and said, "Alright, I was thinking the same thing."
A great battle was about to erupt!
Xiao Zhi first sent out his general—Metapod!
The Shorts Warrior said disdainfully, "Come out, Pinsir, and show them your power!"
A large, brown-bodied insect with two large, spiky horns on its head appeared. As soon as it appeared, it clapped its pincers, looking as if it wanted to snap everything in half.
Xiao Zhi immediately recalled Metapod and switched to a Pokémon that countered it: "Come back, Metapod, go, Pidgeotto, use Gust."
"Pi Jiao Jiao!" (You lowly bug, take my special move!)
Pidgeotto flew high into the sky, constantly depleting Pinsir's stamina by leveraging the advantage of flight.
A whirlwind appeared on the ground, constantly swirling around Pinsir, making it very uncomfortable. It was a Bug-type Pokémon, and its special defense was relatively low, so it couldn't block Pidgeotto's Gust at all.
"Pinsir, quickly use Vice Grip!"
The Shorts Warrior started shouting, and Pinsir began to run towards Pidgeotto, but Pidgeotto once again flew high into the sky, making it impossible for Pinsir to hit Pidgeotto.
Pinsir was on the verge of tears. Heaven knew why it felt so frustrated. Flying Pokémon in this world were too annoying!
'But to be fair, Mega Pinsir can fly.' Li Qingfeng was enjoying being a happy spectator. This time, he didn't direct Xiao Zhi, letting him experience the joy of battle himself.
After all, being taught by others and directing oneself are different experiences.
Under Pidgeotto's Gust attack, Pinsir quickly fell to the ground, unable to battle.
The Shorts Warrior recalled Pinsir and sent out his last Pokémon: "Darn it, Pinsir, come back quickly! Your turn, Metapod!"
Xiao Zhi first recalled Pidgeotto, sent out Metapod, then recalled it (to his side) and sent out Pidgeotto.

At this maneuver, the Shorts Warrior gritted his teeth and commanded: "Now, use Harden!"
Metapod's body emitted a deep black light, which then disappeared, and its physical defense was boosted.
Unfortunately, Pidgeotto's Gust is a special move, so any physical defense boost is futile!
The strong winds lifted Metapod high into the air, then threw it down.
After several such cycles, under Pidgeotto's fierce assault, Metapod lost its ability to battle.
Xiao Zhi cheered excitedly: "Yay, I won!"
Li Qingfeng, on the other hand, thought: 'It should be Beedrill's turn soon, right?'
Speaking of Beedrill, Li Qingfeng was exasperated. Xiao Zhi originally had two opportunities to get a Beedrill. The first was to catch a Weedle, but it was intercepted by that Shorts Warrior, and the second was given to Nana during the Bug-Catching Contest.
It seemed Xiao Zhi was fated to miss out on Beedrill.
Buzz buzz buzz~
Well, speak of the devil.
The sound of Beedrill's wings flapping came from the air. The Shorts Warrior, who lived in the forest, immediately knew this was a Beedrill attack.
"Run! The Beedrill are here!" The Shorts Warrior shouted as he ran, "The reputation of Beedrill is 'renowned' throughout the entire Pokémon world."
'No, it's infamous,' Li Qingfeng said.
Xiao Zhi waved his hand and commanded: "Pikachu, use Thunder Shock. Pidgeotto, use Gust to stop them."
Pikachu was ready, powerful currents of electricity continuously flashed across its body. Seeing that Pikachu didn't dodge, the Beedrill raised their twin stings, intending to pierce several holes into its body!
Xiao Xia hurriedly shouted, "Xiao Zhi, run!"
Her eyes were filled with worry, afraid that Xiao Zhi would encounter danger.
Unfortunately, this was our future Master Zhi and God Pi, how could they lose here?
Pikachu erupted with astonishing power, Thunder Shock knocking down a group of Beedrill, and Pidgeotto took this opportunity to use Gust to contain them within a certain range.
"Metapod, use String Shot!" Xiao Zhi released Metapod, and Metapod spat out white silk threads, wrapping a small group of Beedrill.
It must be said that Metapod's strength was quite high; it actually used the controlled Beedrill as hammers, smashing them around.
Who said Metapod couldn't fight? Isn't it fighting now~
Jie jie jie...
Seriously, the Beedrill brand meteor hammer was quite fierce, instantly smashing the remaining Beedrill far away.
For a moment, Pikachu, Metapod, and Pidgeotto, as if divinely aided, repelled the swarm of Beedrill.
'Li Dage, how was I? Pretty good, right?' Xiao Zhi rubbed his nose, asking somewhat smugly.
Li Qingfeng praised him: 'Indeed, very good. To be able to repel the Beedrill swarm with your own wisdom.'
Xiao Xia rushed back and quickly asked, "Xiao Zhi, are you alright?"
Xiao Zhi waved his hand and replied, "I'm fine, I've already chased them away."
"That's good, you scared me to death. Just now... wait, is your Metapod evolving?" Xiao Xia was about to say something when she noticed Metapod's body was covered in evolution light.
That's right, the recent battle gave Metapod a lot of experience, allowing it to reach the level where it could evolve into Butterfree!
Soon, Metapod's figure disappeared.
In its place was a Pokémon with a deep blue-purple body and huge white wings with black veins on its back.
Xiao Zhi gleefully hugged Butterfree, his voice filled with joy: "This is great, Metapod, you finally evolved into Butterfree!"
