Sweet Honey

[Pokemaster]

Davis would wander deep into the forest coming to a place in the forest that smelled of honey. Looking across the section of the trees, he would see different bug pokemon nesting in the trees around him as well as smaller bug pokemon crawling across the ground. " Wow so this is the portion of the forest that the bug pokemon live in. It must be the honey scent that attracts them. " Davis says as he walks along the forest as he runs into a boy slathering honey onto a tree and walks up to him. " Hey, what're you doing with putting honey on the tree?"

" Don't you know, it's a useful way to attract pokemon in the area to capture. You see, I'm a Bug Catcher and so this is my favorite area of the forest." The boy would respond, sporting a grin of enjoyment of what he does. " How about we battle a bit while I wait for some pokemon to show up?"

" Sure I'm up for a battle. It would be a good chance try out a battle with another trainer." Davis says as he takes out a pokeball throwing it forward. " Let's go, Starry." The pokeball opens to reveal his Starly. The bug catcher would then throw a pokeball, releasing his Wurmple.

" Starly let's show it your new Wing Attack." Davis says as Starly flies down at Wurmple at a fast speed, flying past it, hitting it with her wing as she does so, knocking it into a tree, dealing 28 damage, fainting it.

* Starry gained 80 xp
Starry grew to lv 12*

The bug catcher would recall the fainted Wurple as he would take out another pokeball. " Not bad, I see your Starly's pretty strong, let's see how it does against Spinarak." He says as he throws the pokeball out releasing his Spinarak to the field. " Alright Starry, let's give this Spinarak a Wing Attack." Starry would not as she flew in at Spinarak causing Spinarak to try running from her, but she was too fast for it and she hits it with her wing ( Spinarak 6/34)

" Alright Spinarak, hit it back with a Poison Sting." The bug catcher would say as Spinarak would jump at Starry, jabbing her with the horn on its head ( Starry 37/38) " Starry, quick finish it with a Quick Attack." Davis says as Starry's flight speed would increase as she strikes Spinarak with a fast tackle, dealing 9 damage, fainting it.

*Starry gained 113 xp*

" You're a good trainer for this being your first trainer battle, I'm glad I could battle with you, it was fun. Here take this, it'll help you out." He says as he hands Davis a jar of honey, $450 and a Nest Ball. " By the way, my name's Greg, if you ever want a rematch, you'll find me here." He then heads off to get his pokemon healed.

You were great out there Starry, you're a really strong battler and I think this'll be a place your ability will really shine." Davis says as Starry happily perches on his shoulder.

[Pokemaster]

Davis would continue with his stay in the Honeycomb Path, having enjoyed watching the pokemon that had lived around there for the past few days. As Davis lays in the grass, watching the Metpod hanging from the trees above, he decides he should probably get back to his training by building his team some. Thinking a bug pokemon would be good addition to his team, Davis would think through the pokemon he had seen in Daytime. As he's in the middle of his thoughts, a wild level 6 Caterpie would fall out of a tree onto his head. " Hey a Caterpie, that would make a good addition." Davis says to himself as he reaches up for it, but as he does, it jumps to the ground and look like it wants to battle. " Alright we'll do it the old fashioned way. Go Starry." Davis throws Starry's pokeball releasing her to the field.

" Starry hit it with a Quick Attack." Davis says as Starry flies forward as her speed increases instantly as she tackles Caterpie at her high speed, knocking it away ( Caterpie 8/20) Caterpie attacks back with a String Shot, shooting a silk from its mouth, tying around Starry, lowering her speed. " You did your job, good work Starry, return. Go Arbol." Davis recalls Starry to her pokeball as he sends out Arbol to the field. Caterpie would run at Arbol as he comes out, delivering a tackle to him, striking him, pushing his back ( Arbol 40/41)

" Alright Arbol let's show it your Vine Whip." Davis says as Arbol extends his vines at Caterpie, slapping it with them ( Caterpie 2/20) Despite its tired form, Caterpe would get up and run at Arbol attempting a tackle, but Arbal would jump over the tackle causing it to miss. " Even when you seem completely outmatched, you still fight on. I promise you, if you come with me, I'll make you stronger." Davis takes out a pokeball and throws it at Caterpie, hitting it, pulling it inside before falling to the ground. After the third wiggle, the pokeball remains still on the ground.

" Davis would go over to the pokeball and pick it up, raising it into the air. " Alright, I caught Caterpie. I'll call her Silky." Davis says as Arbol looks at him happily for the new member to the team.

[Pokemaster]

Davis, having added a new member to his party of pokemon would decide that after the damage he had inflicted on Silky, it would be a good idea to heal her while he was out there before any wild pokemon appeared. Taking out Silky's pokeball, Davis would release her to the field. As she came out, she would show signs of fatigue from her battle with Davis. " Don't worry Silky, you'll be feeling much better in just a second." Davis says as he takes out his potion and sprays her injuries with it. Despite wincing slightly from the sting, she would quickly show that it was working as she happily crawled up Davis' arm ( Silky 20/20).

As they sat there, Davis would notice that a wild level 8 Metapod and a wild level 7 Silkoon were easing down from a nearby tree, seeming like they were trying to give off a message of Davis being in their territory. " Well Silky, seems you're about to get your first battle in my team let's go Silky and go Starry." Davis says as Starry is released to the field and Silky jumps down next to her, ready to battle. " Starry start things off by using Wing Attack on Silkoon and Silky follow up with a tackle on Metapod." Starry nods as she flies up into the air at the Silkoon as it's coming down, seeming to fly past it as she would strike it with her wing as she did, knocking it off the tree it was staring down from, dealing 34 damage, fainting it.

*Silky gained 53 xp
Starry gained 53 xp
Starry grew to lv 13
Starry learned Double Team forgetting Tackle.*

Silky would run up the tree at the wild Metapod, striking it with a tackle, knocking it down from the tree to the ground ( Metapod 34/36) Metapod would then use Harden, hardening its shell like body, raising its defense. " Don't let that harden intimidate you, let's give that Metapod Starry and Silky, let's show it Starry'w Wing Attack and Silky's String Shot." Davis says as Starry flies down onto Metapod, stopping in front of it before slapping it with her wing ( Metapod 4/36) Silky would then shoot forth a silk thread onto Metapod from her mouth, covering it in the thread, lowering its speed. Metapod would once again use Harden, hardening its body to raise its defense further.

" Starry, finish it off with one final Quick Attack." Davis says as Starry suddenly rushes forward at it as she moves faster, striking it with a high speed tackle, dealing 9 damage, fainting it.

* Silky gained 60 xp
Silky grew to lv 7
Silky evolved into Metapod
Silky learned Harden
Starry gained 60 xp*

" Nice job on that battle both of you, you showed great teamwork in that and not only that but you've grown and evolved Silky, congratulations. At this rate, you'll be a Butterfree in no time." Davis says happily congratulating his new Metapod.

[Pokemaster]

Davis would sit in a secluded area of the honey path that seemed to be far enough away from the honey smell that maybe it would serve as a place to stay to rest for the night. Davis would sit down on a nearby log and begin to unload his backpack for the night when suddenly he would feel movement from the inside of the log as a pair of level 9 Paras come out of it, seeming angry at Davis for being in their territory. "Oh no, I've just found this place, I'm not leaving tonight. Go Starry and Chu." Davis says jumping back as he throws 2 pokeballs releasing his Starly and Pikachu to the field, both looking ready for a battle. " Starry start things off with a Wing Attack on that Paras to the left and Chu use Thundershock on the one to the right."

Starry would nod as she flies forward at her diving at it. Paras would jump, but this would be what she had wanted as she hits it in mid air with her wing, sending it flying into the forest, dealing 60 damage, fainting it.

* Starry gained 56 xp
Starry grew to lv 14
Chu gained 56 xp
Chu grew to lv 13
Chu did not learn Quick Attack*

Chu would charge up his electricity as he would run at Paras, as he would suddenly release the stored electricity onto Paras, shocking it ( Paras 24/34) Paras would attack back with a scratch, jumping at Chu, scratching him with the edge of its claw ( Chu 50/51) " Starry Quick, finish it with your Wing Attack, one more time." Davis says as Starry would swoop down on the Paras as its attention would still be on Chu, striking it with her wing, knocking it into a tree, dealing 60 damage, fainting it.

* Starry gained 56 xp
Chu gained 56 xp*

Just as the battle had ended, and Starry began to celebrate her victory, she would begin to glow as her body became bigger and changed in shape. As the glowing stopped, Starry would stand there as a Staravia rather than a Starly. " Woah Starry, that battle gave you enough experience that you've evolved into a Staravia." Davis says excitedly rushing over to his new pokemon. " You both were great in that battle. I'm proud of you both. Now how about we get some well deserved sleep?" Chu and Starry would both cry out in agreement to Davis as they got set for bed.

[Pokemaster]

Davis would be sitting relaxing on the forest floor looking through his bag for the equipment that he had gathered thus far. As he looks at his things, he stops at the honey that the Bug Catcher had given him. Looking at the bottle, he takes the lid off and decides to taste it. " Hmm this is tasty, I can see why pokemon are attracted to this." Davis says not realizing that he was being watched by 2 pokemon from above. Suddenly Davis hears a buzzing sound causing him to turn to see what it is. Looking up, he spots what's been watching him, a set of level 7 Combee. " Looks like they noticed that I have honey. Well looks like we've got a battle going here. Go Chu and Silky." Davis throws the pokeballs releasing his pokemon to the field.

" Chu start out with a thundershock on the first Combee and Silky follow up with a tackle on the same one." Davis says as Chu charges his electricity and jumps into the air, releasing it onto the Combee, shocking it, causing it to fall from the sky. ( Combee 4/28) Silky then bounces in under where the Combee is falling, jumping at it, striking it with a tackle, dealing 4 damage, fainting it.

*Chu gained 44 xp
Chu grew to lv 14
Silky gained 44 xp
Silky grew to lv 8*

The remaining Combee uses Gust, kicking up a gust of wind, blowing down onto Silky, striking her with the wind, blowing her up into a tree ( Silky 26/36). " Chu, Silky let's give it the same combo as the other one only this time Chu attack from below annd Silky attack from above." Davis says as Chu runs up underneath Combee, releasing a shock of electricity upward onto Combee, shocking it with the electricity ( Combee 2/28) Silky would then suddenly drop down from the trees above, coming down on Combee, driving it to the ground with a tackle, dealing 5 damage, fainting it.

* Chu gained 44 xp
Silky gained 44 xp*

" Great job from both of you out there in that battle. I guess we should be careful with this honey, especially here in this forest at least until we want to attract pokemon." Davis says as Chu nods and Silky shifts in agreement as Davis puts the honey back into his bag.

[Pokemaster]

Davis would decide for this day in the honeycomb patch to check out the area from the top of a trees. Climbing up a tree to a top branch, Davis would look over the area. " Woah there's really an amazing view of the area from up here at the top of the trees. I never really noticed how beautiful the forest is. I guess a view really makes the difference." Davis says to himself as a duo of level 8 Silkoon shimmy down onto the branch that Davis was sitting on looking like it wanted to battle.

" Alright you want to battle, well the I'll take that challenge. Go Starry and Silky." Davis says as he realeases his pokemon from their pokeballs onto the tree branch as Starry's Intimidate kicks in, lowering both Silkoon's attack. " Alright Starry start things off with a Wing Attack on the first Silkoon and Silky follow up with a tackle on the other one from the spot Starry hits the first." Starry would nod as she flies up over both Silkoon only to make a sudden turn, diving at the one, hitting it with her wing, sending it flying into the upper leaves of the tree, dealing 36 damage, fainting it.

*Starry gained 60 xp
Starry grew to lv 15
Silky gained 60 xp
Silky grew to lv 9*

From the moment that Starry had hit the first Silkoon, Silky took advantage of the distraction as she bounced at the Silkoon, tackling it to the far end of the branch ( Silkoon 32/36) Silkoon would then use harden, covering itself with more silk, raising its defense. " That defense won't hold against us. Starry finish it with a Wing Attack." Davis says as Starry flies down onto the Silkoon landing in front of it before slapping it with her wing, sending it flying into another tree, dealing 36 damage, fainting it.

*Starry gained 60 xp
Silky gained 60 xp
Silky grew to lv 10*

" Alright you both were great out there, you really showed them who-" Davis begins as he notices Silky acting strange. Suddenly part of her body begins to crack open. Davis suddenly rushes over to her, picking her up worried. " Silky what's going on, are you alright?" Silky wouldn't respond as suddenly the crack widens and a pair of wings extend from the back of her body as a body climbs from it, revealing to be a Butterfree.

" Ah Silky, is that you?" Davis asks holding the now empty shell as the Butterfree nods and flies over to him, snuggling to him. " It really is you Silky. You've evolved completely into a Butterfree. I'm glad, I was able to keep my promise to you that you'd become stronger." Silky would smile to him as she then demonstrates a new attack she had learned, Confusion by picking up Davis and lowering him down to the ground as she and Starry follow.

" And not only are you now fully grown, but you've learned a new attack too. I'm so proud of you Silky." Davis says as Silky happily lands on his head, happy with her new form.

[Pokemaster]

Davis would notice that it was getting late as he began to make camp for the night in a clearing in that he had found to be empty of other pokemon. As he goes to gather some firewood for his campfire, a wild level 7 Spinarak would crawl down on its web, blocking him from getting more. " So you want to block me huh. Well then I'll have to make you move. Go Silky." Davis says as he throws Silky's pokeball releasing her onto the field.

" Silky start things off with Confusion on it." Davis says as Silky's eyes glow blue as she releases psychic energy onto Spinarak, throwing it back into a tree (Spinarak 10/28) Spinarak would then attack back with Poison Sting, jumping at Silky, striking her with its horn (Silky 25/36) " Now finish it Silky, give it one final Confusion." Silky would nod as her eyes glow blue as she unleashes psychic energy onto Spinarak, throwing it into the forest, dealing 18 damage, fainting it.

* Silky gained 44 xp*

" Nice job in that battle Silky. You've really gotten the hang of your new form really fast." Davis says as Silky flies after him happily, helping him to gather more fire wood.

[Pokemaster]

Davis would sit behind a series of bushes, by a small area of trees, watching the pokemon as they had passed through the area. He had been relaxing throughout that day, happy to be seeing the pokemon in their natural environment. Davis would watch as a Combee flew by and how it seemed to be dripping some honey that it had found. Suddenly, he saw a pokemon he hadn't seen yet since he had been there fly down and begin to eat the honey that had been dripped. Taking out his pokedex, he would scan it to find that it was a level 15 Heracross.

" Woah, so that's a Heracross. What a cool pokemon and since this is the first time I've seen it here, it's gotta be rare. I can't let this opportunity pass me by. Go Starry." Davis says as he stands up and takes out Starry's pokeball, throwing it, releasing her to the field as her intimidate lowers Heracross' attack. " Starry start things of with Wing Attack." Starry would fly forward at Heracross, diving down at it as she strikes it with her wing (Heracross 31/67) Heracross would seem still ready to fight, jumping forward at Starry as its claws glowed black as it struck Starry with Night Slash, knocking her back (Starry 51/57)

" Woah this thing's got some great fight, now I definitely wanna capture it. Starry give it another Wing Attack." Davis says as Heracross seems to be bracing itself for Starry's attack, using Endure. Starry would flip in the air, coming down at Heracross, slamming her wing down on it, but it holds on thanks to its Endure (Heracross 1/67) " Alright Starry, I'll take it from here. Net Ball go." Davis throws his Net Ball at Heracross, hitting it, pulling it inside. The ball would fall to the ground and begin to wiggle. After the third wiggle, it would sit still as Davis would rush over and pick it up.

" Alright Starry, we did it. We caught Heracross. I'll call him Herc." Davis says holding the Net Ball. " Now how about we get you both healed up?" Starry would nod in agreement as he recalls her to her pokeball and heads towards the nearest Pokemon Center.

[Pokemaster]

Davis would return to the Honeycomb Patch looking to get a chance to train with his new Heracross. As he walks along, Heracross suddenly comes out of its pokeball looking around as though smelling something. " You smell something Herc?" Davis asks him as he nods and suddenly flies forward towards a series of flowers. Davis quickly gives chase, but as he arrives at the spot Herc had gone off to, he spots him eating some honey from a level 9 Combee as a level 8 Ladyba watches, looking angry for the commotion. " Well I guess like it or not, we got a battle. Go Arbol." Davis sends out Arbol as Herc instantly goes over to it trying to get the sap from Arbols bulb as Arbol pushes him off.

" Alright enough of that Herc we've got a battle to do. Now Herc start off with Aerial Ace on Combee and Arbol follow up with a tackle on it." Davis says as Herc nods as he flies forward at Combee as a white wind appears in front of him as he strikes Combee, knocking it out of the air ( Combee 4/34) As Combee falls from the air, Arbol would run forward at at, jumping up, hitting it with a tackle, dealing 8 damage, fainting it.

*Herc gained 56 xp
Arbol 56 xp
Arbol grew to lv 14*

The Ladyba would retaliate with Supersonic, releasing a high pitched tone into Arbol ears, confusing him. " Arbol are you alright?" Davis asks as Arbol seemed disoriented. " Herc hit Ladyba with an Aerial." Herc nods as he flies forward at Ladyba, his speed increasing as a white wind surrounds him, striking it, dealing 34 damage, fainting it.

*Arbol gained 50 xp
Herc gained 50 xp*

" Great job Arbol and Herc, you both made a good team." Davis says as Herc tries sucking the sap from Arbol's bulb again. Davis would laugh a bit as he takes out Herc's pokeball and recalls him. " Guess he could use some more training, but I'm sure in time he'll stop that habit Arbol."

[Pokemaster]

Davis, growing a little bored of his stay in the honeycomb patch, would begin heading towards another section of the forest. As he continues along in the forest, a younger boy would run up to him. " Hey, you're a trainer right? My name's Sam and I was training my pokemon and was wondering if you'd like a battle?" He asks Davis holding out a pokeball.

" Sure I was heading out of the area, but I'm always up for a battle. Go Herc" Davis says releasing his Heracross to the field as Sam send out his Metapod. " Herc hit it with an Aerial Ace." Herc nods as he flies forward at Metapod at great speed as his body is surrounded by a white wind striking Metapod (Metapod 2/36) Sam would then tell his Metapod to use tackle. Metapod would then bounce forward at Herc, jumping at him, striking him with its body (Herc 66/67)

" Alright Herc, now toss it with a Horn Attack." Davis says as Herc catches Metapod with its horn and strikes it, knocking it away dealing 18 damage, fainting it.

*Herc gained 120 xp
Herc grew to lv 16*

" Nice job out there Herc, you were great in that battle there." Davis says congratulating his Heracross as Sam comes over to him.

" You were really great in that battle and your Heracross is strong. It was great getting to battle with you. Any time you want a rematch, I'll be here." Sam says as he gives Davis $650 and Silver Powder and heads off to get his pokemon healed. Davis would then recall Herc and head off from the Honeycomb Patch.

[Pokemaster]

Davis would return to the Honeycomb Patch, looking to get some training in with Aqua. Davis would head towards a clearing that he knew that the bug pokemon would come across and would wait for any results. After waiting for a few minutes, a pair of level 15 Ladyba fly by the clearing, landing as though looking for something. " Perfect, now's our chance. Go Chu and Aqua." Davis says sending out his Pikachu and Totodile.

" Chu start things off with a Thunderbolt on the first Ladyba and Aqua follow up with an Ice Punch on the other." Davis says as Chu jumps into the air, releasing a massive volt of thunder down onto Ladyba, striking it, shocking it hard, dealing 86 damage, fainting it.

* Chu gained 94 xp
Aqua gained 94 xp
Aqua grew to lv 6
Aqua learned Water Gun.*

Aqua would then jump at the other Ladyba as her hand glowed blue with an icy chill covering it as she strikes it, knocking it back (Ladyba 50/52) Ladyba then turns back towards Aqua and uses Supersonic, emitting a sonic wave, confusing her.

" Aqua are you alright?" Davis asks as Aqua looks around disoriented. " Chu finish it with another Thunderbolt." Chu then jumps in front of Aqua and releases a volt of thunder onto Ladyba, shocking it, dealing 86 damage, fainting it.

*Chu gained 94 xp
Chu grew to lv 28
Aqua gained 94 xp
Aqua grew to lv 8*

" Nice job out there Chu and Aqua. You both worked well together." Davis says as Aqua still slightly disoriented spits a blast of water into his face. Davis merely laughs about it as he smiles to Aqua. " Looks like you've even learned how to do Water Gun as well. Now take a rest to get rid of that confusion, you deserve it." Davis then recalls Aqua as Chu jumps onto his shoulder.

" We should stick around a bit to get some training done here Chu." Davis says as chu gives a 'Pika Pi' in agreement.

[Pokemaster]

Davis would continue his travels in the Honeycomb Patch, enjoying the warm weather when he would run into a familiar face. " Hello Davis, it's been a while since I've seen you around here." Bug Catcher Greg would say walking up to him. " How about a battle to see how strong you've gotten since then?"

" Sure I'm always up for a battle. Go Starry." Davis says as he releases his Staravia to the field as Greag sends out his Wurmple, as Starry's intimidate lowers its attack. " Starry give it a Wing Attack." Starry would fly forward at Wurmple, landing in front of it, striking it with her wing, dealing 42 damage, fainting it.

*Starry gained 80 xp
Starry grew to lv 17*

" I see your Starly evolved and has gotten even stronger. Let's try out Spinarak." Greg says sending out his Spinarak, as its attack is lowered by Starry's intimate.

" Starry give it another Wing Attack." Davis says as Starry flies forward at Spinarak, flying past it, swinging her wing at it as she passes, striking it, knocking it away, dealing 42 damage, fainting it.

*Starry gained 113 xp
Starry grew to lv 18*

" Your Starly really has become stronger, it took me down much faster than before.But it was still a fun battle." Greg says as he gives Davis $450 and a Nest Ball. " Let's battle again sometime." Greg then heads off to heal his pokemon.

[Pokemaster]

Davis would continue with his training of his pokemon, having decided to get close to the Combee hives as a good place to train since the honey scent would attract wild pokemon from all around. Just as he had planned, a group of 2 level 15 Combee from another hive would fly in, trying to gather honey. " Now's our chance, go Chu and Aqua." Davis says sending out his Pikachu and Totodile.

" Chu give the first Combee a Thunderbolt and Aqua give the other an Ice Punch." Davis says as Chu runs forward into the clearing, charging his electricity, releasing it onto Combee, shocking it hard dealing 90 damage, fainting it.*

*Chu gained 94 xp
Aqua gained 94 xp
Aqua grew to lv 9*

Aqua would then jump at the other Combee as her hand glowed blue with an icy chill covering it as she strikes it with an uppercut, knocking it back (Combee 50/52) That Combee would then attack back with Gust, sending a gust of wind at Chu, striking him, blowing him into the air (Chu 95/96) " Chu get that Combee with a Thunderbolt while you have the higher ground on it." Davis says as Chu charges up and releases a volt of thunder down onto Combee, striking it hard, dealing 90 damage, fainting it.

* Chu gained 94 xp
Aqua gained 94 xp
Aqua grew to lv 10*

" Great battle from both of you, you were great out there in taking out those Combee. Maybe those Combee won't try to steal the honey again." Davis says as both Chu and Aqua both give a cry of happiness in response.

[Pokemaster]

Davis would be heading towards the forest edge, ready to head to another route to train with his pokemon. As he walked along, a wild level 15 Metapod would come down from a tree as a level 15 Ladyba would take notice to this and fly down. " Alright looks like we've got one final battle to do before we head out. Go Chu and Starry." Davis says sending out his Pikachu and Staravia as Starry's intimidate lowers Metapod and Ladyba's attack.

" Chu get started out with Thunderbolt on Ladyba and Starry follow up with a Wing Attack on Metapod." Davis says as Chu jumps into the air, releasing a massive volt of thunder down onto Ladyba, striking it, shocking it hard, dealing 90 damage, fainting it.

*Chu gained 113 xp
Starry gained 113 xp
Starry grew to lv 19*

" Nice battle out of you 2, I knew that you could take them down. You were great out there." Davis says as Chu and Starry give a happy cry in return as Davis recalls them and heads off the route.

[Pokemaster]

Davis would return to the Honeycomb Patch, planning to get some training in there for Nova and Aqua. Knowing the area well after the number of times he'd trained there, Davis would head to a spot he had known to be a territory of Caterpie. As he had expected, he found a colony of Caterpie at the area around and Metapod on hanging from a tree. As Davis observes the pokemon, a level 10 Ladyba flies to the tree, landing on a level 10 Metapod, causing it to come down to ground level. " Alright now's our chance. Go Nova and Aqua." Davis says as he releases his Cyndaquil and Totodile to the field.

" Nova start out with a Flamethrower on Metapod and Aqua follow up with an Ice Punch on Ladyba." Davis says as Nova's flame burns as he sits forth a column of fire forward at the Metapod as it comes down, striking it and burning its string, causing it to fall and the Ladyba to jump off it ( Metapod 4/42) Aqua would then take that as her opportunity, running froward as an icy aura covers her hand as she uses the grounded Metapod for lift, jumping at Ladyba, punching it, causing some ice to accumulate on its wing, knocking it out of the air ( Ladyba 14/37) Metapod would then use Harden, hardening its body, raising its defense. Ladyba would then attack with Comet Punch, flying at Aqua, punching at her multiple times, striking her 4 times ( Aqua 37/41)

" Alright now switch up opponents, Nova use Flamethrower on the Ladyba and Aqua use Water Gun on Metapod." Davus says as Nova spits forth another column of fire onto Ladyba, blowing it away from Aqua and dealing 38 damage, fainting it

Aqua gained 75 xp
Aqua grew to lv 14*

" Nice job out there Nova and Aqua. The 2 of you have really gotten to the point that you can hold your own in a battle without needing to have a partner for support. I'm proud of your growth." Davis says happily to his pokemon as they both give a happy cry.
