It didn't take long for the light enveloping Beldum to disappear completely. What appeared in front of Natsui, Ash, and Brock was a Pokémon in a brand-new form.
Its appearance was somewhat similar to a flying saucer. The whole body was teal blue, with two arms, and a silver spike on its face and back. Two pairs of silver blades extended diagonally backward from the left and right sides of its body. If one had to describe it, it looked somewhat like two Beldums spliced together.
"What Pokémon is this?"
Although Ash was dissatisfied with the battle just now, thinking Natsui was fooling him, seeing Beldum evolve, that emotion vanished into thin air, thrown to the back of his mind. He turned to point his Pokédex at this new form of Pokémon.
The Pokédex responded almost instantly.
Pokédex: "Beep. Metang, the Iron Claw Pokémon. Steel and Psychic type. This Pokémon has two brains. It generates powerful psychic energy by linking its magnetic nervous systems, but its IQ has not changed. Its steel body won't be scratched even if it collides with a jet plane. The claws on its hands can tear through thick iron plates like silk. It can float in the air using magnetism and can also rotate its arms backward to move at high speed. It can fly at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, traversing steep mountains at high speed. If it finds prey, it will firmly grasp it with sharp claws and seal the prey's movement with strong psychic energy, leaving the pursued prey with nowhere to escape. Note: It loves magnetic minerals very much and will chase Nosepass at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour."
A long string of voice transmission came from his Pokédex, making Ash realize that this new form called Metang was definitely not as weak as the Beldum just now!
Especially since he had also challenged the Rustboro Gym before and fought against Roxanne's Nosepass, he naturally knew what kind of strength Nosepass had.
And the Metang in front of him actually preyed on such a troublesome Pokémon as Nosepass. It can be seen that it must be very powerful!
Thinking of this, he became interested again and hurriedly shouted to Natsui, "Brother Natsui, use this Pokémon! Do you want to fight me again?"
However, although Ash wanted to fight, Natsui was unwilling to battle him anymore.
The reason he agreed to the battle with Ash before was to prompt his two Pokémon, who had singular attack methods and were very weak, to evolve sooner.
Now that one of the goals had been achieved, why waste time?
Ignoring Ash's "can't wait" look, Natsui laughed and rejected him directly.
"Forget it. It's getting late. Let's go see how May and the others are practicing!"
Seeing Natsui take out the Poké Ball without hesitation and recall Metang into the ball, the expression on Ash's face froze instantly!
"How can you do this..."
Just as he was about to say something, he saw that even Brock on the side nodded in agreement with a serious face.
"I agree!" Brock's eyes opened wide, flashing with excitement, and he said excitedly, "There must be many beautiful big sisters in swimsuits on the beach. Let's hurry over!!"
"You two..."
He just wanted to ask, "Are you guys trainers or not!?" But before he could open his mouth, he saw those two leaving together, talking and laughing!
"Hey! Don't leave me here alone!"
Seeing them walking away slowly, Ash sighed helplessly. With no choice, he could only run a few steps to catch up.
When Natsui and the others arrived at the seaside, they saw a large number of tourists distributed on the long beach. Just as Brock expected, besides families of three and some elderly people, this place was full of beautiful ladies wearing bikinis. They were either lying on the beach sunbathing or sitting under parasols drinking cold drinks—a beautiful scene!
He clasped his hands together, drool unworthily flowing from the corner of his mouth, and said with an intoxicated face, "Wow! Truly worthy of being a famous summer resort beach. This place really lives up to its reputation. There really are so many beauties!"
Ignoring this guy who was leering everywhere, Natsui and Ash looked around. But after searching for a long time, they couldn't find any trace of May, Misty, and Max.
"Strange..." Ash wondered, "Why aren't they here? Didn't we agree to practice on the beach?"
Glancing at the tourists beside him, Natsui mused, "There are too many people here. They should have gone to a more remote place. Let's go look nearby."
Grabbing one of Brock's arms each, Natsui and Ash pulled him away from this beach and walked toward the distance.
The number of tourists around became scarcer. When they walked five or six hundred meters and came next to a huge reef, there were very few tourists around.
Just as they were about to look for Misty and the others again, they suddenly heard some strange sounds coming from the other side of the reef, as if someone was talking there!
With a thought, the group went around the reef, and sure enough, they saw Misty and the others at a glance!
"You guys actually hid here. It was really hard to find!"
Seeing it was Natsui and the others, Misty couldn't help laughing. "No choice. There were too many people on the beach. We could only come here to practice quietly."
At this time, beside May, a black and gray butterfly Pokémon was fluttering gently around her.
Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes before, Natsui knew that this was May's Beautifly, and also the Pokémon she used to participate in the Pokémon Contest!
Beautifly has water-blue compound eyes, characterized by colorful wing patterns. Although the size is comparable, it is a level more beautiful than the Butterfree they had seen too many times in the Kanto and Johto regions before!
According to observations, Beautifly often gathers in flower fields to collect pollen and will also collect pollen everywhere with the spring breeze.
When the flower garden is full of blooming flowers, it will fly around to collect pollen. It is a Pokémon that likes sweet pollen very much. If a flower pot with blooming flowers is placed by the window, it will definitely fly over and use its long needle-like mouth to collect pollen.
At the same time, it also possesses an aggressive and combative personality inconsistent with its appearance. When angry, its attacks will be very fierce. It will use its slender proboscis to stab the opponent and suck the opponent's body fluids to attack. Moreover, it has a greedy temperament and will drive away Combee collecting nectar so as to monopolize its favorite nectar!
Looking at this Pokémon, during their chat in the coffee shop earlier, Natsui had already learned that this Beautifly was just caught by May not long ago.
However, it grew very fast. In just a few days, it evolved from the initial Wurmple all the way to its current appearance!
It can be said that it vividly reflects the exaggerated growth speed of Bug-type Pokémon!
It's just that, it seems Beautifly and May's coordination doesn't seem very tacit...
