242. Double Evolution

After a small and delightful lunch break, May also wanted to show Professor Birch her Pokémon's, "Come out, my adorable little Silcoon!"

Torchic received it from Professor Birch, so there was no need to display it to him other than to see some growth.

Professor Birch lowered his body to observe May's Silcoon very carefully, "Hmmm, hmmm. This Silcoon looks to be in very good condition, it should soon become a beautiful Beautifly."

Hearing this, May of course became more excited and full of expectations of her future Beautifly. The Pokémon Contest held in Slateport City was getting closer and closer. Ash had already judged before that if her Silcoon was correctly trained like this, it should be able to complete its evolution before the Pokémon Contest was held.

"No way, my Silcoon will evolve into the most beautiful Beautifly!" Jessie jumped out again from the nearby bush.

She seems to be obsessed with this as of recently. All she is trying to do is just want to compete with May's Silcoon. She was very much used to lurking around Ash and his group, but whenever she hears that May's Silcoon will evolves into a Beautifly, she jumps out to let her tongue loose.

"You are a Pokémon Professor, right? Then come and take a good look at my adorable little Silcoon!" Jessie threw out her Poké Ball, "Go, my most beautiful Silcoon!"

However, Professor Birch recognized something that was wrong immediately, "That's not a Silcoon, it's a Cascoon!"

Jessie jumped again, "You're talking nonsense. I've seen it several times. It's clearly a Silcoon! It will become a the most beautiful Beautifly in the world!"

Behind them, James and Meowth looked almost exhausted and out of any energy. They seemed to have tried to correct Jessie's mistake countless times, but she was so stubborn that she firmly believed that she had a Silcoon and not a Cascoon.

What worries them even more is that this Cascoon will soon evolve into a Dustox, and then they don't know how to face the disappointed and maybe even worse version of Jessie.

In the next few seconds, May's Silcoon began to shine with the Light of Evolution.

Then it spread its wings and turned into the Beautifly that May had been waiting for ever since she first saw it.

It was indeed beautiful enough that even Ash was considering to capture and train one for his team, of course that is if he ever wanted to participate in Pokémon Contests.

Ash was thinking back to the first Pokémon he or his past self had ever caught, which was a little Catterpie.

Ash's currently only had two Bug-type Pokémon's in his roster, that being his Heracross and Scizor.

Additionally, both of them can use Bond Evolution with him to break even further in their strength.

"Yeah, my Silcoon has evolved into a Beautifly!" May immediately cheered up. This was the moment she had been looking forward to the longest time, well only since she began her journey.

This is also her first step towards becoming a Pokémon Coordinator in the Pokémon Contest world.

Jessie was also stunned, "Why has your Silcoon evolved into a Beautifly and why didn't my Silcoon evolve yet?"

This is the problem with the methods of different Trainers.

The two Wurmples evolved at the same time into their secondary form, but now it was May's Silcoon that has completed her evolution first.

This is mostly because during this time, May was doing special training under Ash, and she also had the assistance of Brock, a qualified Pokémon Breeder.

It is well known that a good Pokémon Breeder can improve the level of a Pokémon just by raising it in a carefully and controlled way, which is much more different than a traditional method where you have to train them to level up.

Of course leveling up without training has its downsides too; and that is that it doesn't necessarily go through the same experience it would have if it had trained with a Trainer.

This made Jessie full of jealousy, gritting her teeth, "In that case, I will make sure that you don't get to use your Beautifly just yet!"

"Silcoon my dear, use your String Shot attack!"

The sticky threads full of Bug-type energy were heading towards Beautifly at a rapid speed, and May suddenly panicked, "Beautifly!"

"Confusion!"

It was Ash's Ralts who used her Confusion to stop Cascoon's String Shots, which showed that was ready to start some real training under Ash.

"Sis, tell your Beautifly to use its new Flying-type attack!" Max quickly reminded May that after evolution, Beautifly has gotten the Flying-type!

"I know!" May quickly regained her composure, "Beautifly, use uh- Ash, what should I order?"

Ash was just standing there with a calm look, "Tell her to use its new Whirlwind move."

"Alright then, Beautifly, use Whirlwind!" May quickly got back to her usual self.

Beautifly had become much more stable after completing her evolution, and is no longer as greedy and playful as she was as a Wurmple. She quickly responded to May's command, flapped her wings and blew up strong winds to blow Cascoon away, who collided with it again.

"Silcoon!" Jessie exclaimed, "Come on, you have to become the most beautiful Beautifly in the world!"

"That's simply forcing someone to do something impossible!" James and Meowth were just depressively sitting down on the sidelines across Ash and Brock, fearing that after Cascoon evolved, Jessie would turn all her anger on them.

"Forget it, never mind, go ahead, Cacnea, use your Pin Missile attack!" After gently and lovingly hugging James and making him scream in pain, Cacnea came on stage.

Seeing James's Cacnea, Ash also threw out one of his own Poké Ball, "Lets show them our defense, Aron!"

Cacnea's Pin Missile landed on Aron's body and seemed to have done absolutely nothing at all. Aron insisted tilted his head and looked at the small cactus Pokémon opposite to him.

The situation became two versus two. This was May's first real battle, and also her Beautifly's first battle. Her direct opponent was Jessie, which will definitely be a good start for her.

"In this case, Silcoon, use your strongest Tackle!"

Jessie's Cascoon collided again, but May didn't panic much this time, she still let her Beautifly use her fierce Whirlwind again!

In that fierce wind, Cascoon's body finally began to glow brightly.

"Looks like she too has started to evolve into her next form." Ash said with a smiled. As an old friend, he was still very happy for Jessie.

Obviously Jessie was the most excited out of the bunch as this was her Pokémon, "That's great, my Silcoon is finally going to evolve into a Beautifly!"

However that was actually impossible.

James and Meowth's expressions began to darkened. They could not imagine Jessie's disappointed expression and later her rage, "This moment is finally here, meow…"

"Now that things have come to an end, all we have to do is bite the bullet. Why is it always the two of us?"

Just in the last moment, they actually used a piece of black cloth and covered the newly evolved Dustox before Jessie could see it. Meowth also put on some Beautifly-shaped wings on himself, "Beautifly, meow, now I'm a Beautifly." He said in a scared voice.

This scene was simply too stupid but also very funny, but Ash took back his Aron and looked at Pikachu beside him, "Let's not beat them away today, okay?"

"Pi~Kachu!"

Jessie picked up Meowth and scolded, "Meowth, what are you doing?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about, meow, I am a Beautifly, meow, now!"

These words really made Jessie very annoyed that she threw him on the ground, "James, take this piece of cloth off my Beautifly!"

When James still refused, she pushed James away and lifted the cloth herself. Just then, a big moth flew up and flew into her face.

"What is this?" Jessie was stunned as she looked at her own Dustox in front of her. "Is this really my lovely Beautifly?"

Slowly Jessie finally accepted, "So you're not Beautifly, you're a Dustox!"

In fact, Jessie is very suitable for using Poison-type Pokémon's as her temperament matches theirs. In comparison, Dustox is much more suitable for her than a Beautifly.

Jessie closed her eyes and looked like she was struggling to think of something, which frightened both James and Meowth.

"Jessie's anger is about to explode, meow!"

However, to everyone's surprise, Jessie actually looked at Dustox with stars in her eyes, "It's so cute! It's so many times cuter than that Beautifly!"

James and Meowth were even more stupefied, "Why can't we ever understand Jessie's taste, meow!"

"Forget about it, it's best if she likes it!"

Ash smiled. He just took a look and found that her compatibility and Bond Value with her Dustox were already higher than those between May and her Beautifly.
