Chapter 33: One Against Ten—Total Annihilation of the Beedrill Swarm!

Page 1/3

Is it excessive?
Not at all.
Xia Chi felt no ripples in his heart.
With the double effectiveness of a Flying-type move against a Bug-type, combined with the physical attack boost from a single Hone Claws, if Sprigatito couldn't kick a fragile Beedrill to death, it would be a disgrace to the system's bond and gear support.
Just as he was thinking about the system, a voice suddenly rang in Xia Chi's mind.
【Ding~ Your Pokémon Sprigatito (Lv. 14) has defeated Beedrill (Lv. 15), gaining 0.2 Fear Points!】
A mere level 15 Beedrill could actually provide 0.2 Fear Points?
Xia Chi pondered briefly. A few days ago, when Sprigatito defeated a level 15 Poochyena at school, it only yielded 0.1 Fear Points.
Perhaps it was because a Beedrill of the same level is stronger than a Poochyena?
Forget it, it doesn't matter.
Xia Chi shifted his gaze back to the battlefield.
The fall of the first Beedrill did not scare off the others; instead, it ignited their fury.
Can't win in a one-on-one? Then swarm them!
The remaining dozen or so Beedrill assumed attack stances and circled in, the buzzing sound echoing through the dense woods.
The leader, noticeably larger than the rest, sharpened its stingers while glaring at Sprigatito, looking incredibly arrogant.
In the streets, you need influence and backing. Who are you with, kid?
A measly little cat daring to challenge the authority of the Beedrill Gang? Who gave you the courage?
Courageous Pawniard?
Boys, get him!
As soon as the Beedrill leader gave the signal, the swarm spread their insect wings and charged at Sprigatito with fierce momentum, creating a terrifying pressure like a dark cloud looming over the city.
Xia Chi commanded calmly, "Sprigatito, use Quick Attack to get behind them, then follow up with Acrobatics!"
The Beedrill swarm had just rushed in front of Sprigatito, only to find in astonishment that after a flash of white light, their target had suddenly vanished.
Where did it go?
The lead Beedrill was utterly confused.
"Meow-fee!"
Looking behind you?
Having bypassed the direction the stingers were pointed, Sprigatito appeared from behind the swarm and landed a clean, crisp [Acrobatics].
Claw falls, bee falls.
【Ding~ Your Pokémon Sprigatito (Lv. 14) has defeated Beedrill (Lv. 16), gaining 0.21 Fear Points!】
Another one-shot.

Even though it had defeated two by using hit-and-run tactics, there were still many Beedrill left in front of Sprigatito.
Led by their boss, they turned their weapons around and prepared to attack Sprigatito again.
Xia Chi frowned slightly. If they kept fighting like this, even if they won, Sprigatito would sustain significant injuries.
In the wild, that was not good news.
He turned to look at Pachirisu, which had already escaped danger, and shouted, "Pachirisu, do you know Electroweb?"
Pachirisu was startled. After realizing Xia Chi was calling it, it nodded hurriedly.
Xia Chi didn't stand on ceremony, commanding, "Use Electroweb to try and split the Beedrill swarm in two!"
Pachirisu knew this human and cat had come to help it; it placed its berries on the ground, gathered all its energy, and fired a massive electric net.
Whether it was pure luck or something else, the timing of this net was perfect, cutting off the flight path of the Beedrill in the back.
To attack Sprigatito, they would either have to take a long detour or fly straight through it.
Regardless of what the Beedrill chose, Xia Chi's goal had been achieved.
Now, Sprigatito only had to face four or five Beedrill.
For a Sprigatito with the life-steal sustain of the Bloodthirster, this was purely "easy mode"—just spamming Acrobatics was enough.
Not only did it deal tons of damage to the Bug-type Beedrill, but through [Protean], it could also shift into the Bug-resistant Flying-type.
Wild Beedrill had no concept of type advantages; they just waved their [Fury Cutter] and charged.
Sprigatito was ready for them!
As more and more Beedrill fell to the ground, the Beedrill leader turned from disdain to fear.
Wait, where did this big shot come from to bully the small fry here?
You're even picking on Beedrill? Are you even human?
Boys, retreat!
Once the signal was given, the remaining scattered Beedrill had no heart left for the fight.
If the boss has surrendered, why should we risk our lives?
But it was too late to run now.
Xia Chi let out a cold snort. "Hmph, trying to escape?"
Turn into my Fear Points, all of you!
Understanding the intent, Sprigatito leaped up in hot pursuit, while Pachirisu kicked the fallen dogs by throwing an Electroweb to block their escape route.
In just over ten seconds, the remaining Beedrill crashed to the ground.
With that, the Beedrill gang haunting the southern foothills of Mount Mingchong was completely wiped out!
Xia Chi didn't care about the condition of the Beedrill; he rushed to Sprigatito's side and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Sprigatito?"
"Meow-fee~"
Sprigatito tilted its head, revealing a proud, tsundere smile.

Injured?
Are they even worthy?

——————
"Beedrill: Are you asking if Sprigatito is okay? Hey? Can you look at me for a second?"
"666, it's not even a challenge!"
"Ten against one and a total wipeout! How did Teacher Water train this Sprigatito?"
"It wasn't ten against one, Pachirisu contributed some assists, okay?"
"Do eye-contact assists even count?"
"I thought Teacher Water's gaming skills were already high, but his training skills are even better—is this even fair?"
"Is this Sprigatito a veteran's new account? Which starter Pokémon is this strong in its base form?"
"Boss Water, and you said you didn't know how to battle!"
"......"
Having finished the battle, Xia Chi finally had time to look at the comments.
As expected, this one-sided crushing victory, which didn't last long, not only kept the original viewers in the stream but also attracted a huge wave of new ones.
Although the level of the battle wasn't high, a non-evolved Sprigatito shredding a swarm of Beedrill was a spectacle that even most professional trainer battles couldn't match.
However, he had wanted to use this field training to solidify his identity as a novice trainer—how did it backfire so badly?
Putting these trivial matters aside, after defeating the Beedrill, Xia Chi logically confiscated their hive.
This was good stuff; the honey that Teddiursa loves most is nectar collected by Beedrill mixed with fruit.
It's nutritious, delicious, and perfect for mixing into salads for Sprigatito.
However, Xia Chi didn't go too far; he left about a third of the hive for the Beedrill.
Otherwise, if they woke up and found their home completely stolen, they might track him down and fight for their lives.
Pachirisu, who had been saved by Xia Chi, was a grateful little creature. Seeing him turn to leave, it bit onto his pant leg to hold him back.
"Meow-fee!"
Sprigatito stood angrily by Xia Chi's feet, loudly scolding the slightly overstepping Pachirisu, unsure if it was protecting its master or just jealous.
Xia Chi laughed, "It's okay, Sprigatito, Pachirisu means no harm. Besides, it's time for our lunch, and we can treat your wounds while we're at it."
Packing the hive into a jar and stuffing it into the oversized backpack behind him, Xia Chi followed the hesitant, looking-back Pachirisu into the woods.
