Chapter 89: Thoroughly Driving Away the Fearow, Pidgeot Shows Its Strength!

The next day.

Ash and his friends were heading to the Orange Islands to help Professor Oak get the GS Ball.

Along the way, they happened to pass through Viridian Forest, and Ash, seeing the familiar scenery, recalled that this was where he had caught Pidgeot and Butterfree.

"Pidgeot, Butterfree!"

Ash looked at this place; when he had caught his Pokémon, Team Rocket had also shown up to cause trouble.

Wait, why am I thinking of Team Rocket again?

Suddenly, a violent, sharp cry came from the sky.

Everyone knew it was the cry of a Fearow, which had come specifically to seek revenge on Ash!

【Ding!】

【Entering the rewarded quiz segment!】

The familiar question segment returned, and this time everyone earnestly gazed at the Black Light Screen.

This question could bring unexpected, extremely rare items.

If one could answer correctly once, they might receive something never before seen, which would surely be of great use to themselves.

【Question: How will Ash deal with the Fearow coming for revenge later?】

【A: Upon seeing Ash and Pikachu, the Fearow would immediately turn and flee, not daring to cry out, instantly losing any thought of revenge!】

【B: Ash releases Pidgeot to battle the Fearow, decisively driving it away, but to protect the Pidgey flock, he still keeps Pidgeot behind.】

【C: The Fearow, thinking it had evolved and become strong, provocatively challenges Ash, only to suffer a combined double strike from Pidgeot and Pikachu, instantly filling it with fear and daring not to bother the Pidgey again!】

【D: Ash and his friends can't beat this Fearow and flee in panic!!!】

【This round's contestants: Qibana, Xiao Jian, Ailis, Xiangtai】

【Xiao Jian: This is obvious; definitely choose A!】

No sooner had his words fallen than he saw Xiangtai instantly select option A.

【Xiangtai: Phew, I finally got a turn; after watching Black Satoshi for so long, it's definitely option A. Anyone with a bit of urgency wouldn't have the Fearow seek revenge on Pikachu, after all, the terrifying 100,000 Volts from Pikachu at the start likely left a deep impression on those Spearows.】

【Xiao Jian: Hmm, unlike Bai Shijie, the Pikachu in Black World emits a more terrifying current, so the Fearow shouldn't come over.】

【Ailis: No, no, the Fearow has a terribly violent temper; I don't think they'd fear Pikachu unless Black Satoshi gives it a beating, making it remember that terrifying 100,000 Volts.】

Black World—

Ash also recognized the Fearow, knowing it had come this time for revenge.

"We seem to have been targeted by the Fearow!"

Brock wondered doubtfully: "This doesn't make sense; this is Pidgey territory, why would the Fearow come specifically to attack us?"

"It's attacking me and Pikachu!"

Ash explained the 'grudge' between him and the Fearow; it's truly aggravating. He had originally planned to detour, but who would have thought he'd be harmed by that thieving Rattata just as luck would have it?

Originally, it was Rattata that hit the Spearow, but unexpectedly the Spearow blamed them, so they had no choice but to strike, and to prevent the Spearow from summoning its comrades, they dealt a heavy blow that knocked it unconscious; thus the Spearow has always remembered them, and now, having evolved, it seeks to settle the old score.

Although it seems a bit far-fetched, it's definitely true as far as we can tell.

Xiaoxia believed it; she had no choice but to believe, as the Fearow in the sky were preparing to attack Ash and Pikachu.

"Flying-type, huh!"

Ash glanced at the surrounding Pidgey and decided to send out Pidgeot.

This was a perfect chance for Pidgeot to show off among its Pidgey flock.

Soon, the Fearow and Pidgeot went at it. Both sides launched swift, clean attacks with no hesitation. Pidgeot soared high, striking with lightning speed, using its sharp claws and broad wings to fiercely assault the Fearow.

Although the Fearow also fought back, it was hopelessly outmatched, and Pidgeot grew bolder the longer it fought, its offense becoming ever more fierce. The Fearow couldn't stand up to Pidgeot and kept being beaten back, retreating step by step.

After being beaten for a long time, Ash knew the Fearow was very eager for revenge; Pikachu understood, leapt up, and unleashed a super-strong 100,000 Volts at the Fearow. This electric current, like lightning, instantly struck the Fearow.

The Fearow was left dizzy and paralyzed all over, losing all combat ability.

Now the Fearow just wants to leave this forest; this Trainer is too terrifying, and with such powerful Pokémon at his side, it simply can't defeat him.

The Fearow immediately flew away, without any delay, as fast as it could.

【Ding! The correct rewarded answer this time is Ailis.】

【Congratulations, Ailis, you have obtained the training method for the Double Axe Battle Dragon.】

?

Ailis, gazing at the Black Light Screen, suddenly found in her mind the training method for the Double Axe Battle Dragon; although some parts were the same as her own Double Axe Battle Dragon's training method, there were some differences.

Her face was full of excitement; those differences were specifically meant to address the Double Axe Battle Dragon's weaknesses, and if she trained that way, the Double Axe Battle Dragon could become very strong.

【Xiao Jian: Wow, it really was option C; I guess I was thinking too simply. I originally thought Black Satoshi had wave-guiding power, and with Pikachu they could make the Fearow flee without fighting.】

【In the end, I still overthought it.】

【Xiangtai: Me too.】

Qibana didn't speak; he had originally been preparing to choose option A, but since it was taken, he said nothing.

Fortunately, I didn't snag option A, otherwise the embarrassing one would have been me.

"The Fearow has flown away; it won't come back!"

Ash knew the Fearow had been struck with a psychological scar; it wouldn't come back, thus solving the problem for the Pidgey.

The Pidgey flock cheered and leapt with joy; that Fearow had honestly come over to bully them, but now that annoying fellow has run off, and we must thank this Trainer and his Pokémon.

Pidgeot returned to its familiar territory, catching up with the Pidgey and Pidgeotto.
