Chapter 23 - Victory

After the smoke cleared, only Arbok could be seen, lying in a pool of blood; Beedrill had disappeared.

Rogen saw the danger and was about to warn his men when Beedrill struck.

The remaining Pokémon were defeated one by one. None could withstand a single attack from Beedrill.

Under Beedrill's swift and unseen strikes, all lost the ability to fight.

Seeing all the Pokémon incapacitated, the vengeful Beedrill, though covered in wounds, exuded a fierce, unstoppable energy.

It let out a long howl in the air.

Rogen felt fear creeping into his heart. He thought about abandoning his men and running away, but Eichi saw this and immediately stepped in front of him.

Rogen, seeing Eichi block him, wanted to knock him down and take him hostage.

Eichi saw his intention and sneered, not moving aside.

He took a defensive stance, extending his hand. As Rogen's fist neared, Eichi widened his eyes and pressed his right hand against Rogen's punching arm.

He stepped back and pulled hard. Off-balance, Rogen was dragged forward.

Eichi twisted his body and executed a shoulder throw, slamming Rogen to the ground.

Eichi then sat on top of him, raining punches full of anger on his face.

He vented all his fury on Rogen, yelling in frustration.

Rogen kept screaming and begging for mercy.

"Ah!"

"Spare me!"

"Stop hitting me!"

"Stop!"

"If you keep going, I'll die!"

After a few minutes, Eichi felt he had vented enough.

He stopped, while the other members, terrified of Beedrill, surrendered one by one.

Eichi found some ropes and tied everyone up.

He gathered them in one place and collected all their Poké Balls.

He also collected all the Pokémon belonging to the Rattata Poaching Group.

There were fifteen in total. Arbok had been killed by the furious Beedrill.

Beedrill flew over, radiating a dangerous aura.

Eichi, satisfied with Beedrill's battle ability, placed his hands on its head.

He channeled his energy into Beedrill, and soon a look of delight appeared on his face.

"It really can heal!"

Beedrill's injuries slowly began to heal.

While Eichi healed Beedrill, the members of the Rattata Poaching Group looked utterly defeated.

It was humiliating!

So many people were taken down by a single kid.

Honestly, that Beedrill was too strong!

Had the Beedrill they met before been fake?

The poachers doubted their own lives.

Rogen's face was swollen like a pig's; even his mother might not recognize him.

Eichi released all the Pokémon that had been forcibly contained in Poké Balls.

In a flash of light, all the Pokémon appeared:

Beedrill, Butterfree, Ariados, Venonat…

Those hiding in the corners ran over when they saw their companions freed.

"Mimi!"

"Shu shu!"

When all the Pokémon reunited, some Beedrill from the group communicated with the rescued Beedrill for a while.

They sent one Beedrill to express their thanks for saving everyone.

They suggested that Eichi's Beedrill could return and become their king, but it refused.

The others did not force it and simply told it to visit them when it could.

After the Pokémon reunion, many expressed gratitude to Eichi. A group of Oddish rubbed against him.

Eichi patted the Oddish, making them smile happily.

His anger melted away. He felt joy.

Pokémon were adorable, and humans should live in harmony with them.

Eichi took out Potions and Pokémon food from his backpack.

He shared the food with all the Pokémon, who were curious and excited.

After explaining through his Beedrill, they happily ate.

While they ate, Eichi treated those seriously injured with Potions.

His energy had been used on the Beedrill, so he had none left; only Potions could help the others.

As Eichi healed the Pokémon, a siren sounded from afar.

The siren in the Pokémon world was a little different from the previous world, but it had the same purpose.

Soon, the sound grew closer. Vehicles approached.

A motorcycle came into view, carrying a woman in a blue police uniform.

Eichi thought, Officer Jenny has finally arrived.

Behind her were four police cars, from which the sirens came.

Seeing Eichi and the group, Officer Jenny's expression changed slightly.

What was going on?

A group of seemingly bad people was tied up, and a ten-year-old child was healing Pokémon.

Officer Jenny braked at the scene, somewhat confused.

After getting off, she asked Eichi, "Did you call the police?"

Eichi answered honestly: "Yes! Officer Jenny, I called the police."

She pointed at the poachers. "These are the poaching group members?"

"Yes," Eichi replied.

Officer Jenny asked: "You defeated them all?"

"Yes," Eichi said.

"How did you beat them?" she asked.

Eichi pointed at the Beedrill. "My Beedrill defeated them."

Police from the cars began loading the poachers one by one.

After assessing the situation, Officer Jenny said to Eichi, "Please come to the station to explain the details."

She added, "You will be rewarded for capturing the poachers."

Eichi asked: "Can I finish healing the Pokémon first?"

She agreed. Eichi thanked her: "Thank you."

He continued to heal the remaining Pokémon.

Once all were treated, Eichi smiled at everyone. "All done. I need to go now."

"I hope to see you all again."

He got into a police car. Pokémon watched him leave.

Eichi waved goodbye. After saying farewell to the Beedrill and its group, he stored the Beedrill safely.

At dusk, a group of Pokémon watched the police car drive away.

Soon, a Pokémon appeared on a nearby tree.

It looked once at Eichi's departing direction, then at the Pokémon below, and then left.
