Chapter 605 how can you be afraid?!

...

Five days passed in an instant.

Five today.

Natsu has visited some of the fancier places around Ula'ula Island.

Not for play, of course.

But also train Pokemon.

He went to Ula'ula Beach, Ula'ula Grasslands, Haina Desert, and Abundance Ruins.

Meet lots of Pokemon in the Alola Region.

Catch some and release them.

Mainly for the purpose of training Pokemon.

While the Pokémon's overall strength hasn't improved much, there has been progress.

For example, Beedrill, he became increasingly adept at controlling wing currents. Even without the Charjabug, he could almost increase his speed by stimulating his wing currents from time to time.

The only regret is not being able to meet other Totem Pokemon, let him try the information about the "Totem aura" that he just got from the Aether Foundation.

But fortunately, Beedrill's own mastery of "Boss aura" was quite good.

After Natsu found out that he came to the Alola Region, except for the first day's luck, the next day's luck was not very good.

Go to Abundance Ruins don't get much, can't see Tapu Bulu, and go to Mount Lanakila to find Alola Vulpix and Alola Sandshrew.

Five days after planing.

He would be hunting down challengers for the seat starting tomorrow, so there wouldn't be much time left for a stopover in the Alola Region.

The next visit may have to wait until the Alola Region is fully opened.

So while there was still a bit of time, Natsu made it to the top of Mount Lanakila again.

Everything else can be slowed down.

It's not too late to wait for the Alola Region to open.

Mount Lanakila is the only exception.

Since the Alliance would choose to build their Pokémon Alliance base on the top of this mountain, Mount Lanakila wouldn't be too close by then.

The night was foggy.

Natsu leads Pokémon to the top of Mount Lanakila in search of Alola Vulpix and Alola Ninetales.

It's a pity that it snows here all year round. Visibility is not low. Even the footprints they leave will soon be buried by the wind and snow.

Find night time.

Natsu gave up.

Sitting on the edge of a cliff, he could see the entire Ula'ula Island and even the outline of the remaining islands in the Alola Region in the distance.

It must be admitted.

Alola, which has not been explored by excessive industrial development, is still quite beautiful.

Because the "Sun God" once shone, the crops in the Alola Region thrived in an unusual way.

Berries can be picked without planting.

See what Exeggutor is like in the Alola Region because of its rich and fertile soil.

Natsu vaguely saw at the foot of Mount Lanakila, several Exeggutor over ten meters tall, staggering over.

Because it is too high, it is very conscious, even from the top of the mountain it can be seen very clearly.

"Beer."

Beedrill came to Natsu.

He doesn't join Latios and others in "chaos", Alakazam also learns with Oranguru, Aegislash hides in Natsu's shadow.

Natsu smiled as he looked at Beedrill.

"Beedrill, how long has it been since we started training together?"

"Beer~~" ​​Beedrill's eyes also showed a reminiscent look.

At first, they tried their best to survive.

Now.

The team has grown this big now.

As the first Pokémon to follow Natsu, he witnessed the entire process of Natsu's awakening from his humble beginnings.

This makes Beedrill feel proud to be Natsu's Pokemon.

But he also feel the pressure.

Stress comes from many things.

There are pursuits from Alakazam and Togekiss, but also from their own hearts.

Only after much contact could he understand how unreliable a Pokémon like him was in the eyes of most people.

Beedrill was afraid.

Afraid that he won't be able to accompany Natsu all the time. He was afraid that he couldn't accompany Natsu step by step to peak with Natsu.

So he takes care of the other Pokémon, and if he can't, let them live with Natsu.

He was afraid.

Afraid of his own existence, instead of being able to provide any help to Natsu, he becomes a burden to Natsu.

So he is always self-aware, and always meticulous with the plans arranged by Natsu.

He was afraid.

Afraid that as long as he doesn't work hard enough, he will slowly leave Natsu's main team.

So he works very hard, always the least talkative, but the hardest working, setting a good example for the team.

He was afraid.

Afraid of many things.

The most important thing was being afraid that he would become a stumbling block for Natsu and not being able to let Natsu let him go completely.

After all, the Pokémon Natsu subdued had much more innate talent than him.

Of course he knew that, and Natsu treated him well.

There's nothing to be dismissive about because he is Beedrill.

Always give him everything that suits him.

But the more this happens, the more the stress is on his heart.

The more Natsu valued him, the more worried he would waste Natsu's attention.

Sometimes, if something like innate talent could easily be compensated for by hard work, it wouldn't be called innate talent.

"What are you afraid of?" Natsu's gentle words reached Beedrill's ears.

Warm and firm palms pressed against his head firmly.

Beedrill didn't speak, but Natsu spoke his mind.

"Beers."

Would Natsu not pay attention to Beedrill?

No.

Instead, Beedrill's slight change was what he saw.

Every look at Beedrill, every move, what he was trying to say, Natsu didn't even have to think to come up with an answer.

This was the tacit understanding between them, which even Alakazam, Togekiss, and Aegislash temporarily had no equal.

Natsu rubbed Beedrill's head, looking up at the cliff.

Slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Remember when we first started training together? First I ran with you, then you ran with me, and now you run with them."

Beedrill listened silently.

"Yeah, I'm not denying that a Pokémon like Beedrill can't be compared to a Pokémon like Latios in terms of innate talent."

Even though The Power of That Species was a reference value provided by the Alliance, but why didn't it reflect much?

You can't believe it, but you can't completely ignore it.

Beedrill lowered his head slowly.

Even Natsu said so.

"But not that good, it doesn't mean you don't have innate talent."

Beedrill slowly raised his head again, his red compound eyes watching Natsu.

he smiled.

"There is indeed a huge gulf between having innate talent and not having innate talent, and it is difficult to make up for it. But that is in having and not having, and you and them, the difference is only getting less and less."

"Beer?" Beedrill muttered under his breath.

"Have you ever wondered why there are so many Pokémon and only you have the Boss aura?" Natsu demanded towards Beedrill.

"Beer?"

'Isn't it because of the "Pure Gold Feather"?'

"Yes, 'Pure Gold Feather'. Then why didn't the Boss' aura activate when you just ate it?" Natsu asked again.

Beedrill's eyes showed doubt and thought.

"Beedrill."

Natsu suddenly raised his voice and called out.

The four eyes met.

"Your innate talent." Natsu moved his finger slowly, then tapped Beedrill's chest, on his heart.

"On here!"

He pressed his index finger firmly against Beedrill's chest, against his heart, feeling his pulse.

"Think of the day you fought Totem Vikavolt, when you forgot everything, gave up everything, and only thought about defeating him. Your change, your speed, your incomparable determination to compete."

Natsu initially thought that the biggest change in Beedrill that day would be the "current" from the outside.

Now think about it, the biggest change at Beedrill that day.

It was a change in his heart.

A Pokémon that was always worried about something, afraid of something, so how could it fight freely?

Beedrill's red eyes slowly glowed.

A shimmering light gradually filled his eyes.

Inner strength is very strong, and sometimes it can be so strong that it overlooks things.

And Beedrill is definitely the most powerful among Natsu's Pokémon.

This is the biggest advantage, the best evidence, and the biggest advantage of our humble beginnings together.

"Let's become stronger together!" he said.

"Beer!" Beedrill grew, wisps of crimson air clinging around him.

That's the Boss aura!

As a Boss, how can you be afraid?!

The Pokemon playing on the other side all stopped and looked at Beedrill.

They felt, Beedrill seemed to be getting stronger?

Natsu raised the corners of his mouth.

Totem aura, from the protection of the Guardian God.

And Boss aura, from within a Pokémon.

He had no idea.

Beedrill is getting stronger.

Yes.

Not only Boss aura, but also his strength.

This is a mind transformation, the unshackles on Beedrill, and the moment Boss Beedrill officially debuts.

Based on the change and sensation of breath, the current Beedrill, without Mega evolution, should already in the peak in at Gym Leader level, and not far from quasi-Elite!

ka!!

The ice on top of Mount Lanakila suddenly broke.

"Beer!" Beedrill looked up sharply.

Totem aura!
