Chapter 51 - Pidgeotto's Revenge

Julian sat inside the Pokémon Center, patiently waiting for his Pokémon to be fully healed. His thoughts swirled in deep contemplation.

Julian thought to himself, 'Having freed Mewtwo before its introduction in the anime, I can't predict how it might alter the future. I've got a hunch that Mewtwo might still follow the same path as it did in the anime, with its desire to eradicate all original Pokémon from this world. I need to be prepared for that eventuality. However, there's no guarantee that Mewtwo will follow the same course of action, so I must be ready to intervene if necessary.'

Nurse Joy handed Julian his Poké Balls with a warm smile.

Joy: "Mr. Julian, here you go. They're all in excellent condition."

Julian expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Nurse Joy."

Joy responded kindly, "You're welcome."

With his Pokémon now in good health, Julian left the Pokémon Center and prepared to head back.

Julian thought to himself, 'It's time to return to Pallet Town. There are only two tasks left on my agenda: resolve the Mewtwo situation and conquer the Indigo League.'

He mounted his bike and pedaled off toward Pallet Town, determined to face the challenges that lay ahead.

As the evening sun cast its warm hues across the tranquil riverbank where Julian had first met Pidgey, now a Pidgeotto, Julian set up camp. He knew that Pidgeotto needed only one final push to evolve into its ultimate form.

With evening settling in, Julian decided to embark on his journey back to Pallet Town the following day. Before retiring for the night, he engaged in some training sessions with his Pokémon, ensuring they were well-prepared for the adventures that awaited them. He also provided nourishing meals for his loyal companions.

As the night fell, Julian settled down to rest, finding solace in the peaceful surroundings of the riverside camp. Tomorrow held the promise of new challenges and encounters, and he needed to be prepared.

The next morning, Julian was up early, diligently preparing food for his Pokémon companions. With breakfast ready, he summoned his team and instructed them to continue their training regimen. As Julian was engrossed in these tasks, an unexpected and powerful gust of wind suddenly swept through the area, catching him off guard.

The forceful gust blew away his tent and scattered his utensils in all directions. Julian quickly moved away from the turbulent wind, his eyes narrowing as he tried to discern the source of this sudden disturbance. He turned his gaze toward the direction from which the gust had come and saw a group of Spearow, followed by a formidable Fearow leading the way. The Fearow had a menacing appearance, and Julian couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.

However, something about the Spearow caught his attention—they appeared to be similar to him in some way, and the connection puzzled him.

Julian quickly recognized that the group of Spearow before him was the same one that had harassed Pidgey back when it was a fledgling. This situation presented an ideal opportunity for Pidgeotto to evolve, and Julian seized the moment.

He called upon Pidgeotto and suggested that it greet their unwelcome guests. Pidgeotto, with a determined look in its eyes, took to the skies. Flapping its wings vigorously, it unleashed a barrage of sharp Air Slashes toward the approaching flock of Spearow, seeking revenge for the past harassment and a chance to prove its strength.

Pidgeotto was no longer the timid Pokémon he once was. He had trained and battled alongside Julian, learning valuable combat tactics. Instead of engaging Fearow head-on, he dodged its attacks with grace and sent a powerful Air Slash towards Fearow, causing it to lose control briefly.

Fearow, despite witnessing the power of Pidgeotto's Air Slashes and the fact that Julian had other powerful allies, allowed its pride to lead the way. It launched a Quick Attack toward Pidgeotto, aiming to take the upper hand in this confrontation.

Julian wasn't about to let Fearow's attack go unchallenged. He quickly issued a command to Pidgeotto to respond.

Julian: "Pidgeotto, use your Aerial Ace to counter!"

Pidgeotto, still angered by the presence of these bullies, responded swiftly. It executed a precise Aerial Ace, a move known for its impeccable accuracy and speed, intercepting Fearow's Quick Attack and clashing with it mid-air. The collision between the two Flying-type moves created a dazzling display of energy in the sky.

Pidgeotto displayed both agility and strategic thinking. Instead of directly clashing with Fearow, it used Quick Attack to skillfully evade the oncoming attack and then capitalized on Fearow's momentary vulnerability with a powerful Air Slash. The attack struck Fearow squarely, sending it spinning in the air.

Fearow, now disoriented and realizing the strength of its opponent, let out an enraged cry. It started to flap its wings vigorously, gaining altitude, and then unleashed a powerful Drill Run attack, descending headfirst like a missile aimed at Pidgeotto.

Julian watched closely, eager to see how Pidgeotto would respond to this fierce aerial battle.

Fearow's strategic adaptation showed its experience in battles. The Whirlwind and Hurricane clash demonstrated the strength of Pidgeotto's Hurricane move. But now, Fearow was coming in for a devastating Drill Peck attack.

Pidgeotto had to make a quick decision. He angled himself slightly to the side and flapped his wings furiously, generating a powerful Gust attack. The Gust met the incoming Drill Peck head-on, creating a fierce confrontation of wind and drill.

Julian was impressed with Pidgeotto's battle instincts and resourcefulness as the two powerful moves clashed in a whirlwind of force.

The combination of Air Slashes to slow down Fearow and the sudden, massive Hurricane caught Fearow off guard. The powerful winds created by Pidgeotto's Hurricane were too much for Fearow to handle. It tried to resist and fight against the raging tempest, but it was futile.

Fearow was engulfed by the swirling vortex of Pidgeotto's Hurricane, unable to escape the relentless onslaught. The winds tore at its feathers and battered it from all sides. Fearow's cries of pain were drowned out by the deafening howl of the hurricane.

After a few moments, the tempest subsided, leaving Fearow battered and defeated. It plummeted to the ground, unconscious and unable to continue the battle.

Julian watched as Pidgeotto displayed its mastery over Hurricane, and he couldn't help but feel proud of his Pokémon's growth and skill.

As the massive Hurricane created by Pidgeotto engulfed the remaining group of Spearow and the defiant Fearow, the intense winds and suction force pulled them all into the heart of the tempest. Despite their attempts to resist, they were powerless against the overwhelming power of the Hurricane.

The vortex of wind and energy continued to rage, carrying away the entire flock of Spearow and the Fearow that had once tormented Pidgeotto. The sounds of their cries and struggles faded into the distance as they were swept away by the hurricane's fury.

The gusty battle eventually subsided, and Pidgeotto had prevailed. The intense struggle had brought him to the brink of evolution, and he now stood as a larger and more powerful Pidgeot. Julian looked at his evolved companion with pride, knowing that their bond had grown stronger through this victory.

Julian watched the spectacle in amazement, impressed by Pidgeotto's strength and the way it had taken down its tormentors. Pidgeotto had not only evolved into a more powerful form but had also proven itself as a skilled and formidable Pokémon in battle.

With the threat now gone, Julian approached Pidgeot and patted its feathers in appreciation.

Julian: "Congratulations, Pidgeot. You've not only avenged your past but have become even more formidable. Together, we'll achieve great things."

Pidgeot let out a triumphant cry, displaying its newfound strength and evolution. The victory was not only a testament to Pidgeotto's growth but also to the unbreakable bond between Julian and his Pokémon. They were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead on their journey.

Julian spoke, "System, show me Pidgeot's current status."

Julian couldn't help but smile as he admired his Pidgeot's impressive stats. The majestic bird Pokémon had grown both in level and experience, becoming a formidable partner in their adventures together. Its feathers ruffled with confidence, ready to soar through the skies and face any challenge that lay ahead.

Julian observed his Pidgeot's progress with a thoughtful expression. "Hmm, he learned Brave Bird. That's excellent, but he needs to perfect it if he wants to use this move in battle. It's a double-edged sword. He also learned Agility, Sky Attack, and Feather Dance. That's impressive progress."

With a satisfied nod, Julian patted Pidgeot's majestic feathers. "Great job, Pidgeot. Now, take some well-deserved rest while I prepare our meal."

Julian set to work, determined to clean up the mess the pesky Spearows had created earlier. As he diligently cleaned and prepared food, his Pokémon companions resumed their training routine. Despite their strength, they understood the importance of continuous improvement, a value instilled in them by their dedicated trainer, who never skipped a day of training.

After completing all the chores, Julian served a hearty meal to his Pokémon, making sure they were well-fed and content. With a smile, he returned them to their Poké Balls, securing them safely by his side. It was time to embark on the next leg of their journey as he mounted his trusty ride and headed towards Pallet Town.
