Though the lightning cascading down from the sky appeared terrifying, its energy had already been tempered and purified by Tapu Koko, making it ideal for Electric-type Pokémon to absorb.
Thus, the electric Pokémon that would usually avoid lightning at all costs now eagerly raced to soak up the electricity.
At this moment—
Weedle, having long prepared herself, finally made her move.
With all her strength, she hurled the meticulously woven cocoon into the sky.
Immediately afterward, Weedle crawled inside and quickly sealed herself within using her silk threads.
Since the cocoon was made from a combination of [Electroweb] and silk threads, it had superb electrical conductivity. Positioned at the highest cliff in the vicinity, it acted as a perfect lightning rod, attracting bolts straight from the clouds.
Boom! Crackle!
Thunder roared violently as fierce lightning struck the cocoon, channeling immense electric currents directly into Weedle’s small body.
Weedle utilized this formidable lightning to rapidly digest the [Lightning Crystal] shard inside her.
However—
Due to Weedle’s absorption, most of the lightning energy in the sky was redirected to the cocoon, leaving many Electric Pokémon on the ground furious, gnashing their teeth in frustration.
Some even began attacking the cocoon directly, yet their moves disintegrated instantly upon contact with the electrified air surrounding it.
Helpless, most Pokémon retreated to the outskirts of the valley to absorb weaker, residual currents.
After all, a little was better than nothing.
Still, several powerful Electric-types lingered hungrily, staring greedily at the cocoon overhead.
They sensed the incredible electrical energy stored inside. If they could consume it, their strength would surely reach new heights.
“Elite Four-Level Luxray, Electivire, Zebstrika, Galvantula… Four Elite Four-Tier Pokémon at once.”
“It seems capturing this Weedle won’t be easy at all.”
Guo Yi’s eyes narrowed sharply as he assessed the four formidable Pokémon.
At present, after absorbing the template’s strength, Beedrill’s own power had reached Level 88:
[Beedrill (Bug/Poison-type)]
[Gender: ♂]
[Level: Lv88 (Champion-Tier)]
[Ability: Sniper]
[Moves: Twineedle, Endeavor, Venoshock, Pursuit (commonly used moves)]
[Template Moves: Omitted]
[Egg Move: None]
[Held Item: Silver Powder (Elite Four-Tier)]
[Potential: Master-tier]
[Template Bound: Giovanni’s Beedrill]
Clearly a solid Champion-tier Pokémon.
However, the four Elite Four Pokémon ahead were also formidable opponents.
Luxray needed no introduction—Beedrill had already clashed briefly with it earlier. At Level 75, it was considered above average.
Below Luxray were Electivire at Level 73 and Galvantula, freshly reaching Level 71, barely within Elite Four territory.
Yet, the most powerful among them was Zebstrika, already at Level 80, just one step shy of Champion-tier. Its growth had stalled due to limited potential, but if it could devour Weedle and absorb her lightning-infused essence, breaking through to Champion might become possible.
“Four Elite Four-level opponents—if they coordinate perfectly, even Beedrill might not win.”
“But since they’re wild Pokémon, we have a chance.”
Though Beedrill had reached Champion-Tier, it hadn’t reached Master-Tier yet. Against four coordinated Elite Four-Level Pokémon, victory was uncertain.
But given they were wild, coordination wouldn’t be perfect—so victory was still possible.
Guo Yi quietly summoned Beedrill closer.
“Beedrill, move aside first and stack [Sword Dance] to raise your stats.”
“Wait for my signal.”
Knowing a fight was inevitable, Guo Yi decided to maximize Beedrill’s combat readiness first.
Beedrill glanced briefly at the Elite Four Pokémon before silently nodding and flying some distance away.
The four wild Pokémon noticed Beedrill’s departure but paid little attention.
Not because they were generous, but simply because Beedrill wasn’t an Electric-type Pokémon.
Had Guo Yi released an Electric-type instead, these four would’ve immediately united to eliminate them first.
Right now, they doubted Guo Yi would risk provoking all four by stealing the cocoon.
Thus, everyone stood quietly, watching the cocoon above continue absorbing lightning.
As the lightning persisted, the cocoon turned from bright gold to charred black, finally resembling a scorched sphere.
After about half an hour, the lightning gradually thinned out.
Without electromagnetic support, the cocoon slowly began descending toward the ground.
At that exact moment—
Zebstrika, the strongest among them, leaped powerfully upward, jaws wide open to swallow the cocoon whole.
But Luxray, Electivire, and Galvantula immediately moved to intercept, unwilling to let Zebstrika succeed easily.
In an instant, the four Elite Four-Level Pokémon descended into chaotic battle.
“Teacher, what should we do?!”
Seeing the chaos unfold, Su Qingxue anxiously tugged at Guo Yi’s sleeve.
Guo Yi didn’t respond immediately, carefully watching the intense battle and waiting for an opening.
Finally—
He spotted the perfect moment.
“Now!”
Guo Yi shouted decisively.
A blurred shadow shot swiftly through the air.
By the time the four Pokémon realized what happened, the blackened cocoon was already securely in Guo Yi’s hands.
“Qingxue, use your [Power of Viridian] to heal Weedle inside the cocoon.”
“Leave the rest to me.”
Guo Yi immediately sensed Weedle’s weakened state, promptly handing the cocoon to Su Qingxue.
“Teacher, [Power of Viridian]…?”
Holding the cocoon, Su Qingxue looked utterly confused. She had no idea what her teacher meant by [Power of Viridian].
Yet before she could finish speaking, she saw familiar green energy flowing from Guo Yi’s right hand.
Teacher also possesses that mysterious healing power?
So this power is called [Power of Viridian]…
Though filled with questions, Su Qingxue wisely realized this wasn’t the time. She quickly focused, channeling her own [Power of Viridian] to restore Weedle’s strength.
Meanwhile—
Guo Yi used his own [Power of Viridian] to bring Beedrill to peak condition for the imminent battle.
After all, the upcoming fight would be brutal—one misstep could cost their lives.
“Come out, Nidoking and Nidoqueen!”
For added protection, Guo Yi released the Nidoking-Nidoqueen duo to guard himself and Qingxue.
Beedrill hovered protectively, ready for combat.
We don’t need to defeat all four Pokémon. If we can hold out until the lightning barrier dissipates, we’ll have a chance to escape.
Right now, the electric barrier still sealed off the valley, preventing any immediate retreat.
Thus, a fierce battle was inevitable.
The four enraged Elite Four Pokémon, realizing the cocoon had been stolen, shared a hateful glance.
Without hesitation, they reached a silent agreement—temporarily allying to eliminate Guo Yi, the outsider, first.
