"As expected of a Shiny Pokémon! It actually has three abilities, and the Sniper ability is practically a must-have for an assassin."
"And just as I predicted, the Iron Shell Pupa, which was originally at the 4V level, has become a 5V or even a 6V Pokémon after evolving into a Beedrill. This means I won't need to buy individual value medicines for it."
Robert couldn't help but take a deep breath as he examined Beedrill's stats. He hadn't expected its attributes to be so extraordinary. Not only had it become a 6V Pokémon, but it was also the strongest one in his current team.
With this realization, Robert began planning Beedrill's future battle strategy. There was no doubt—Beedrill was destined to be a high-speed assassin, capable of eliminating enemies in one decisive strike.
Ignoring the Sniper ability would be a waste. Combined with its Shiny ability, Battle Armor, Beedrill could defend itself effectively while launching deadly attacks. If one strike wasn't enough, a second one would surely finish the job. This Beedrill was the perfect blend of offense and defense, an assassin in peak condition.
"Hissss-bee~"
After adjusting to its new form, Beedrill slowly flew toward Robert, hovering in front of him while letting out a soft chirp.
"Good job, Beedrill! Congratulations on evolving! From now on, you can battle alongside Charmeleon and Pidgeot." Robert patted Beedrill's body, smiling.
"Hissss-bee~"
Beedrill nodded excitedly. Even though it had spent most of its time inside the Luxury Ball, it had "seen" Charmeleon and Pidgeot's battles. Watching them fight had only made its desire to evolve and participate in battles stronger.
Now that it had evolved, Beedrill was finally ready. More than anything, it was eager to taste the delicious food it had long anticipated.
To celebrate Beedrill's evolution, Robert took out an Insect Energy Block from his system backpack and placed it in front of Beedrill.
The moment the sweet aroma hit its senses, Beedrill couldn't resist anymore. It dove straight into the food box, rapidly chewing on the energy cubes.
"Hissss-bee~"
With the first bite, Beedrill paused, eyes closing as an intoxicated expression spread across its face. The taste was beyond its imagination. But instead of savoring it slowly, Beedrill immediately buried its head into the food again, devouring it even faster.
A Sudden Craving
"Ah~"
"Bi~"
Charmeleon and Pidgeot, who had finished their meal earlier, turned their heads toward Beedrill. The sight of the energy cubes, coupled with their tempting aroma, instantly reignited their appetites.
Even though they had just eaten, the fragrance of the food still made their stomachs grumble.
As if rehearsed, the two turned toward Robert simultaneously, their eyes filled with longing. They stared at him with a pitiful expression, hoping for another round of food.
Robert looked back at them, then at Beedrill, who was still eating furiously. His gaze shifted to the completely empty food bowls behind Charmeleon and Pidgeot.
"...Alright."
After a moment of thought, Robert gave in with a nod. As a responsible (and well-funded) Trainer, how could he deny his Pokémon's request?
Besides, their request was quite simple. Even if they had asked for something more challenging, Robert would have provided it. After all, he had the system backing him up.
"Ah~" (Yes! More food!)
"Bi~" (Hmph, as expected.)
Seeing Robert agree, Charmeleon jumped up excitedly while Pidgeot flapped its wings, circling happily in the air.
Robert chuckled at their antics before taking out more Energy Blocks from his system backpack. He poured a fresh portion into each of their food bowls, making sure Beedrill received some as well.
But that wasn't all. Robert had another surprise in store.
To complete their meal, he bought three bottles of Miltank Premium Milk from the system store for just 10 points.
Miltank Premium Milk: A Rare Treat
Miltank Premium Milk wasn't ordinary milk—it was a high-quality product with various benefits. Not only was it much tastier than regular milk, but it also had the unique effect of enhancing Pokémon's physical strength and defensive capabilities.
As Robert poured the creamy, milky-white liquid into new bowls, the rich aroma instantly caught the attention of his Pokémon.
Charmeleon, Pidgeot, and Beedrill turned their heads simultaneously, locking eyes on the fresh milk.
Their noses twitched as they inhaled the delicious scent. Within moments, they began drooling unconsciously. Their eyes sparkled with excitement, their hunger momentarily shifting from Energy Blocks to the mysterious new treat.
"Ah~" (What is this? It smells so good! Just like the energy cubes!)
"Bi~" (It looks delicious… I want to try it!)
"Hissss-bee~" (I don't know what it is, but I want it!)
Even though Robert didn't fully understand their language, he could easily interpret their emotions. He smiled and explained, "This is Miltank's milk, and from now on, it will be a part of your daily diet."
"Drinking this milk will help strengthen your bodies, improve your endurance, and even help you grow taller."
Robert deliberately emphasized the last part, knowing that Charmeleon, in particular, had been eager to grow stronger and taller.
"Ah~"
"Bi~"
"Hissss-bee~"
As expected, the three Pokémon exchanged excited glances before turning back to the milk. Their happiness was written all over their faces. They hadn't expected the mysterious white liquid to have so many benefits—just like the Energy Blocks they loved so much!
But despite their eagerness, they didn't drink the milk immediately. Instead, they decided to finish their Energy Blocks first and save the milk for later, savoring it slowly.
Robert smiled at their patience. If they had asked him, he would have advised the same. Drinking the milk after finishing their food would allow them to absorb the nutrients more effectively.
Satisfied with his Pokémon's decisions, Robert leaned back against the tree, letting them enjoy their meal in peace.
A Trainer's Meal
As Charmeleon, Pidgeot, and Beedrill focused on their food, Robert took the opportunity to buy something for himself.
Since he had already eaten earlier, he didn't need another full meal. Instead, he browsed through the system store and purchased some fresh fruits to aid digestion.
Peeling a crisp apple, he took a bite, savoring its sweetness while watching his Pokémon eat with enthusiasm.
Despite the peaceful atmosphere, Robert was already thinking about his next training plan. Now that Beedrill had evolved and become his first 6V Pokémon, it was time to focus on battles.
With a team this strong, he needed to test their skills against worthy opponents.
Looking up at the sky, Robert exhaled deeply.
"Tomorrow… we train harder," he murmured to himself.
Charmeleon, Pidgeot, and Beedrill, who had just finished their food, perked up at his words. They might not have understood the exact meaning, but they could sense what was coming next.
Excitement flickered in their eyes.
Their journey was only beginning.
And Robert was ready.
