"Earthworm?! What kind of Pokémon is that?!"
Koga blinked in surprise.
So did the other three Elite Four members.
And the entire stadium.
Even Professor Oak, known for his extensive Pokémon research, was stunned.
"Could it be that Ye Feng has caught a Pokémon that has never been discovered before?!"
Then, the light faded.
They discovered that the so-called Earthworm was actually a Weedle!
"Damn it, a Weedle?!"
"The Earthworm is actually a Weedle..."
"Challenging six Elite Four Pokémon with just one Weedle?!"
"No way, such a weak Pokémon, challenging six?"
"Even if you train a Weedle to be an Elite Four, it's still weak!!"
"Let alone challenging six Elite Four, even a one-on-one with an Elite Four is impossible!"
"Ye Feng is boasting too much! Hurry up and switch to Pikachu!"
"No! I got it! Ye Feng actually knew from the beginning that he wasn't a match for the Elite Four! So a long time ago, he was just boasting! All for the sake of getting attention!!!"
"You shut up! Does my Ye Feng need that kind of attention?!"
The crowd buzzed with chatter.
But the battle below had already begun.
Although Ye Feng's second Pokémon being a Weedle was unexpected.
Koga had no intention of holding back.
"I thought your second Pokémon would be a legendary Pokémon, a mythical beast, but turns out..."
"Jynx! Use Blizzard to take care of it!"
*Swish!*
As soon as Koga gave the order.
A blizzard immediately swept through.
It seemed Jynx had been preparing for a while.
And just when everyone thought Ye Feng's farce was about to end.
They heard Ye Feng suddenly say, "Weedle, use Tackle."
Tackle is a normal move, just a body slam. Many Pokémon know it.
Low damage, slow speed, not very useful.
But have you ever seen a speed like a bullet and a power exceeding a missile?
That's right! For the first time, they witnessed it in this year's Indigo League Elite Four battle!
The Weedle, with a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye, like an arrow loosed from a bow.
Before anyone could react, they heard a sound like the sky collapsing.
The Weedle slammed into Jynx.
Jynx was sent flying hundreds of meters, crashing heavily out of the Indigo Stadium.
Instantly losing the battle.
Koga: "..."
The other three Elite Four members: "..."
The entire audience: "..."
When everyone's gaze returned to the field.
They saw the Weedle standing in the center of the field, looking somewhat dazed, as if nothing had happened.
Koga was shocked, but then she immediately brought out her second Pokémon. It was a Cloyster.
Then, just like Jynx, it was also sent flying by a single Tackle from the Weedle.
Following that were the third, fourth, and fifth Pokémon, all suffering the same fate.
If this wasn't the Ice-type Elite Four Koga,
The audience would have suspected something was amiss...
They wouldn't fake it like this!!!
Ye Feng opened his system panel.
And checked Weedle's current stats.
[Weedle
Level: 100
Type: Bug, Water
Nature: Timid
Ability: Compound Eyes, Swift Swim
Base Stats: 2500
Moves: Tackle, Rage, String Shot, Bug Bite, Water Sport, Electric Web]
The 2500 base stats were accumulated in the month before the Indigo League, by Ye Feng feeding it countless Magikarp.
Koga's last Pokémon was a Lapras.
"Alright, Koga, next I'll show you a magic trick."
"A magic trick? What magic trick?"
Koga's scalp was tingling, and she was in a state of daze.
She still couldn't believe why her five Pokémon couldn't even defeat a Weedle.
Was she too weak?
No, it was that the opponent was too inexplicably strong.
Due to the stark contrast between Weedle's appearance and its strength.
The entire stadium fell silent, and everyone heard Ye Feng mention a magic trick.
What magic trick was it?
"It's..."
"Evolve!!!"
"Earthworm!"
"Make everyone in the world go crazy for you!!!"
A manic smile spread across Ye Feng's face.
He stared intently at the Weedle.
At this moment, the Weedle erupted with an extremely powerful light.
It was the light of a Pokémon about to evolve.
"This is the magic trick?"
Although Pokémon evolution wasn't seen often, it wasn't unheard of.
But what was so interesting about a Weedle evolving?
Wouldn't it just evolve into a Kakuna?
But soon, everyone realized something was wrong.
Because the evolutionary light was so intense that it made it impossible to open their eyes.
And when the light disappeared, their gazes fell upon the field.
Instead of the green Kakuna they expected.
There was a colossal, never-before-seen Pokémon.
It was entirely green with yellow and black markings.
Its strong, slender body exuded a terrifying aura that made one's heart race.
Seven to eight meters long, a colossal being, circling in the sky.
With just one glance, the Pokémon in the audience hid behind their trainers, trembling.
Afraid to meet its gaze.
Not only these Pokémon, but even humans felt fear in the face of its power and might.
"This?! This is a Pokémon?!"
The humans began to panic.
They became uneasy, the fear of the unknown.
"Rayquaza! That's the legendary Pokémon, Rayquaza!!!!"
Professor Oak's eyes were about to pop out.
He rubbed his eyes more than a dozen times before he could believe what he was seeing.
"Rayquaza?!"
"This is Rayquaza?! The legendary Pokémon?!"
At this moment, the scene was in chaos.
All cameras focused on Rayquaza above.
And the entire Kanto region watching the live broadcast on television was stunned.
They all stood up, staring intently at the screen.
Not just them, but people from other regions as well.
News of Rayquaza's appearance at the Indigo League spread like wildfire.
"Wait! This Rayquaza... it couldn't have evolved from a Weedle, could it?!"
Professor Oak walked to the presidential podium for a better view.
Lance, Bruno, and Agatha, three of the Elite Four, also had their pupils constrict.
They had seen mythical beasts before.
But only a few times.
And they were mostly legendary birds like Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos.
As for Rayquaza, they had only seen pictures of it in rare documents.
This Pokémon was said to be an even rarer, super-legendary Pokémon than the legendary birds!!!!
And this legendary Pokémon actually evolved from a Weedle?!
[Rayquaza
Type: Dragon, Flying
Nature: Timid
Ability: Air Lock
Base Stats: 2500
Moves: Twister, Dragon Dance, Ancient Power, Dragon Claw, Hyper Voice, Hyper Beam, Dragon Rage, Dragon Pulse, Extreme Speed, etc.]
Ye Feng looked at the giant green figure overhead, a smile forming on his lips.
Want to know why Weedle can evolve into Rayquaza?
Then you should think about why Pikachu has so many moves and abilities?
Did it really get them all by eating different Pokémon?
Doesn't that seem suspicious?
Before leaving Pallet Town, Ye Feng and Red Stripe Pikachu ate a total of 3990 Pokémon.
How many of those were duplicates?
Many! Many!
Because Ye Feng's activity range was limited to Pallet Town and a few nearby cities.
Therefore, the types of Pokémon he could encounter were limited.
In that case.
How did it acquire so many different types of moves and those different abilities?
It's because any Pokémon bound to Ye Feng, besides gaining attributes, abilities, moves, and levels by eating other Pokémon.
They would also unlock a unique talent of their own.
Red Stripe Pikachu's unique talent was: Skill Exchange for Skill.
Meaning, after eating ten Weedles and gaining ten Bug Bite-like moves.
It could use those ten moves to exchange for other moves.
Pikachu's Hydro Pump, Fire Blast, and other moves, as well as those complex abilities, all came from this.
By continuously eating Pokémon, one could learn all moves, abilities, including the moves and abilities of legendary Pokémon.
And Weedle's unique talent was Bloodline Evolution.
This was also why Weedle evolved into Rayquaza.
