Chapter 36: Defeating Pidgeotto
(First update, new book seeking collections, seeking flowers!! Thanks to "Persi" boss for the tip!)
Maomao~~~
Caterpie stood up, shook its head, and heard Ash's words. It looked up at Ash's eyes. Originally, it was a little afraid, but as it stared at Ash, it gradually became infected.
Maomao!!
Caterpie's eyes also became determined, and Ash smiled in return.
"Very good!"
"Really, you know how to show off. If you get hurt, I wouldn't... Coming!" Misty mumbled with a laugh at this scene, wanting to say, "If you get hurt, I don't care," but her body was still honest. When she saw the Pidgeotto in the air, she couldn't help but shout out loud.
"It's coming, don't be afraid, just like what I taught you last night, use String Shot!"
Ash looked up at the sky, Pidgeotto had already turned around in the air and was diving towards the ground, with a silver light shining on its body, its speed instantly increased. Ash was too familiar with this move, and immediately gave Caterpie an order.
After hearing this, Caterpie used String Shot as Ash instructed, but the target was not Pidgeotto.
Because such an attack was too easy for Pidgeotto to dodge, Caterpie listened to Ash's instructions and recalled yesterday's training.
It turned its head towards the direction of the nearby jungle and released a thread from its mouth. Misty paused slightly, a little confused as to why Ash didn't attack Pidgeotto.
Pfft!!
Before Misty could wonder, in a flash, Caterpie's string shot stuck to a tree nearby, and then Caterpie directly used the string to pull its body away.
Pidgeotto whizzed past, Caterpie pulled its body towards the direction of the tree, swinging onto the tree trunk, Pidgeotto's attack missed, and a sharp look of annoyance appeared in its sharp eyes.
It changed direction and continued towards Caterpie, Ash calmly approached Caterpie while shouting.
"Keep using String Shot!!"
Caterpie nodded after hearing this, and continued to use String Shot, shooting it onto the next tree, swinging its body over again, continuously using a swinging motion to dodge Pidgeotto's attack.
"What is Ash trying to do? String Shot doesn't have any damage, and just dodging Pidgeotto's attacks is already very difficult. How can it defeat it?"
Looking at this scene, Misty was a little anxious too, Caterpie was a very weak Pokémon, it didn't have many moves, and String Shot was one of them, but it didn't have any damage, it could only be used to bind opponents and slow down their speed.
Moreover, it was already overwhelmed just dodging Pidgeotto's attacks, it didn't have the opportunity to counterattack.
"Keep going, shoot more strings!!" Ash didn't know what Misty was thinking, and didn't bother to pay attention to her now.
Maomao~~~
Caterpie diligently carried out Ash's orders, continuously using String Shot, strengthening the force of the String Shot, not one by one, but three or four strings at a time, using continuous swings to dodge.
"Ash can't defeat Pidgeotto just by using String Shot, let Pikachu go! Electric type counters Flying type, Pikachu has a higher chance of winning."
"No, you look closely." Ash shook his head earnestly after hearing this, his eyes sharp as he spoke calmly.
"Huh??" Misty was a little confused after hearing this, and looked towards the front, her pupils suddenly contracted.
"This... This is!!!"
At this moment, in the area where Caterpie was moving, as Caterpie continuously shot strings, swinging back and forth between the trees, the strings it shot out were entangled between the trees.
Only now did Misty realize that Caterpie's moving area wasn't random hiding, but a circular moving range.
Pidgeotto had been following Caterpie, unaware that it had been surrounded, the strings were crisscrossed and complicated, like pieces of spider webs, surrounding Pidgeotto.
"Now you're trapped, Caterpie, turn around and use String Shot!" Seeing that the time was right, Ash gave another order.
Caterpie swung onto a tree, this time it didn't dodge anymore, it turned around and launched an attack on Pidgeotto, several strings shot out from its mouth, Pidgeotto didn't expect that Caterpie, which had been dodging all this time, would suddenly start to counterattack.
It didn't realize the surrounding environment, and instinctively rose upwards trying to dodge, but as soon as its body rose, it sensed something was wrong.
It raised its head and only then realized that its head was also full of dense strings, when it rose, it was directly stuck to its back and wings by these strings.
Pidgeotto instinctively struggled, but when it struggled hard, the broken strings instead rolled up and stuck to its body, instantly affecting Pidgeotto's movements.
"Now, Caterpie, use Tackle!"
Seizing the opportunity, Ash gave an order, Caterpie's eyes sharpened, and it used String Shot again, because Pidgeotto was still a little far away, it couldn't reach it.
Using String Shot, the string shot past Pidgeotto, then stuck to the tree behind it, Caterpie took the opportunity to pull its body, and directly swung over.
It charged into the air, Pidgeotto was also struggling, it looked up and saw Caterpie charging towards it, it also showed a panicked expression, but its wings were bound by the strings and it couldn't dodge at all.
Caterpie used the inertia of the string pull to increase the power of its Tackle.
Bang!!!
It directly collided with Pidgeotto in the air, this force was not small, Pidgeotto let out a low cry, its body was knocked away, directly hitting the tree behind it.
"String Shot!!" Before Pidgeotto landed, Caterpie had already landed, and Ash immediately gave another order.
Pfft!!!!
Caterpie used String Shot with all its might, several strings shot out from its mouth at the same time, directly hitting Pidgeotto, which was still dazed after hitting the tree.
The strings continuously shot out onto Pidgeotto's body, it was already entangled with many strings, and when it was attacked by the String Shot again, Pidgeotto was instantly wrapped up by the strings and entangled on the tree, it was like a cocoon.
Only its head was still outside, Ash saw this, ran forward, squeezed through the gaps in the strings, and then took out a Pokéball.
"Go, Poké Ball!!" Seizing the opportunity, he threw the Poké Ball.
