"Zubat, use Supersonic!" Qingwu's Zubat, boosted by the tailwind, was much faster than Beedrill.
Zubat's Supersonic caused some Beedrill to fall into confusion, but more Beedrill stuck up their rear ends.
Countless stingers shot out like rain.
Many poison stings embedded themselves in the forest, covering the originally lush green tree trunks.
The poison from the stingers seeped into the bark, and the leaves of the once verdant trees instantly turned yellow and withered, their bark cracking and peeling off.
"Come out, Electrike, use Thunderbolt!" Electrike emerged from its Poké Ball, sparks flashing all over its body.
Electrike let out a howl, and countless Beedrill, struck by Thunderbolt, turned into charcoal and fell.
A section of the sky was cleared, but it was instantly refilled by more Beedrill catching up from behind.
"Oh no, those Kakuna must have evolved, let's run!" Qingwu seemed to realize something and called Zubat back.
Leiming also recalled Electrike, and the two rushed forward in a panic, only to find a wide river with a very strong current ahead.
"Jump!" Qingwu recalled Zubat into its Poké Ball, then put the Poké Ball into his bracelet, and jumped down with Leiming.
The two flailed their legs in mid-air, finally plunging into the river and being swept away by the turbulent current.
Qingwu was an excellent swimmer; even falling into a raging river, he surfaced immediately. Leiming, however, struggled desperately.
Before long, Leiming's head sank again. Qingwu dove to the bottom of the river, found the sinking Leiming, and pulled him towards the riverbank.
"Cough, cough, cough." After a while, Qingwu reached a shallow spot on the riverbank.
He pulled the unconscious Leiming ashore.
The Beedrill had dispersed by then.
"Zubat, find me some firewood. I need to dry our clothes." Zubat nodded, flapped its wings, and flew off.
Qingwu looked at the unconscious Leiming and took out a small bottle from his bracelet.
Opening the bottle, a foul odor emanated from it, smelling like a sock that hadn't been washed in a month.
Qingwu covered his nose and held the small bottle under Leiming's nostrils, carefully fanning the opening to let more of the scent reach Leiming's nose.
"Ugh!" Five or six seconds later, Leiming's eyes snapped open from his slumber, and he vomited uncontrollably onto the ground.
He not only spat out the water he had swallowed but also undigested food.
"Boss, did you feed me poop? It stinks so much!" Leiming's voice was hoarse, likely from choking on the water.
"Stop complaining, this medicine is very expensive. I made it from Bellsprout's saliva."
Qingwu said to Leiming. Just then, Zubat flew back, dragging a tree trunk and flapping its wings.
After seeing the claw marks on the tree trunk, Qingwu's expression became serious.
"What's wrong, Boss?" Leiming asked curiously, seeing Qingwu's sudden change in expression.
"We must have entered an Ursaring's territory," Qingwu said, a bitter note in his voice.
"And it's Ursaring's breeding season right now. They are extremely ferocious at this time.
To protect their offspring, any Pokémon entering Ursaring's territory will be torn to shreds by an enraged group of them."
"Boss, don't scare me!" Leiming took a step back.
"We need to dry our clothes immediately and leave this place. Zubat, cut this tree trunk into countless small pieces." Zubat spread its wings, and two or three huge Air Slashes flew from its wings, instantly splitting the tree trunk into many pieces.
"Oh, wow, Zubat, you're getting pretty good with that Air Slash!"
Qingwu was pleasantly surprised to see Zubat precisely cut the wood into several pieces with Air Slash.
Zubat puffed out its small chest, looking as if to say, "Praise me, quickly praise me."
"You're really amazing," Qingwu said, rubbing Zubat's small head.
Qingwu used a windproof lighter to ignite the chopped wood, and soon a bonfire was burning brightly.
"Come on, Leiming, we need to warm up quickly," Qingwu said to Leiming, who was still standing there dumbfounded.
"Okay, coming!" Leiming quickly gathered around the bonfire to warm himself.
"It's already high noon. We need to retrieve the treasure before sunset. Arbok are most active at night."
Qingwu glanced at the treasure map. The edge of the Ursaring forest was where the Arbok lived.
Occasionally, an Ursaring poked its head out of the forest. Qingwu checked the Ursaring's level.
{Ursaring (Orange) Level 48}
"Wow, this Ursaring is really high-leveled. We need to be even more careful," Qingwu muttered.
Qingwu and Leiming cautiously traversed the Ursaring forest. After leaving the forest, both Qingwu and Leiming breathed a sigh of relief.
It had been an agonizing three hours walking seven or eight kilometers.
They had walked slowly, stopping frequently, fearing that an Ursaring might suddenly burst out of the bushes.
Ursaring, like Beedrill, were very unified. Provoking one Ursaring meant provoking a whole group of them.
Upon reaching the Arbok forest, there were Ekans everywhere. However, it was afternoon, and the sun was intense.
Most of the Ekans were resting in the shade, too lazy to move.
Even some of the active Ekans lost interest when they smelled the medicinal scent on Qingwu.
{P.S.: Of course, the Arbok forest has Ekans!}
Finally, Qingwu and Leiming arrived at the location marked on the map, which was another towering tree.
An Arbok lay lazily under the big tree, seemingly having a sweet dream, drool trickling from its mouth.
Although Arbok are venomous snakes, their saliva is non-toxic and is even a good medicine for treating muscle stiffness.
{Arbok (Orange) Level 30}
After confirming, this Arbok's level, though higher than Zubat's, shouldn't be a problem for Zubat to stall.
"Aron, be careful and dig out the treasure beneath the Arbok." Sticking to the old method, Qingwu called out Aron.
Aron nodded and, following Qingwu's instructions, used Dig on the ground.
However, this time Aron also sensed the danger and dug deeper, so no small mound appeared on the surface.
After a while, Qingwu saw a small mound appear near the Arbok on the ground, and it grew larger and larger.
Finally, Aron rushed out from underground, carrying a tattered iron box.
The Arbok was completely startled awake, opening its large snake eyes, which were bloodshot.
The Arbok immediately opened its mouth and sprayed yellow liquid at Aron.
"Aron, use Rock Tomb to avoid the Acid!" Aron rolled on the spot and stomped hard on the ground.
Huge rocks burst from the earth, and the Acid landed on the rock surface.
The rocks hissed, accompanied by a large amount of white smoke.
Just then, an even larger Arbok burst from underground, which was likely why Aron had rushed out so quickly.
{Arbok (Orange) Level 32}
"Zubat, Aron, now is the time to test your teamwork!" Qingwu shouted at Zubat and Aron.
Zubat circled in mid-air, awaiting Qingwu's command, while Aron fortified itself with Iron Defense.
