Valley - The Sacred Butterfly Tree
Inside the luminous canopy, the Butterfree Chieftain and his lieutenant conversed in hushed tones.
"The monsoon approaches," the lieutenant fluttered excitedly. "This year's returning swarm shows exceptional promise!"
The Chieftain's antennae drooped. "Yet every season, we lose kin to the outer threats..." His gaze pierced the leaves as if staring down an invisible foe.
"Not this time! Our numbers have never been stronger!"
Indeed, the colony had swelled with veteran Butterfree—survivors like Bell who'd braved the wilderness alone.
"Still... none possess psychic potential." The Chieftain sighed. After Bell's arrival, he'd scrutinized every returnee, hoping for another gifted one.
"We're fortunate to have even one prodigy," the lieutenant reassured. Their eyes met, kindling shared hope for the tribe's future.
"I wonder how he fares..." The Chieftain's thoughts drifted toward the training grounds.
"That wind tunnel won't be easy—especially with those cursed Zubat lurking!" The lieutenant shuddered, revealing a fang-mark scar.
"By Arceus! I forgot to warn him!" In a blur of wings, the Chieftain vanished toward the crevice.
Wind Tunnel - Bell's Trial
Perched on an outcrop, Bell panted heavily.
"Damn wind... but I'm getting closer!"
Through relentless attempts, he'd learned to read air currents with his antennae, riding gusts like a surfer charts waves. Yet stamina remained his bottleneck—each effort left him battered against the stone walls.
But progress shone in his stats:
Name: Bell (Butterfree)
Type: Bug/Flying
Level: 14 (+2)
Ability: Compound Eyes
New Move: Tailwind
This last achievement defied Pokédex records—a testament to Bell's human ingenuity. By analyzing wind patterns, he'd manifested the speed-boosting technique, his wings now trailing cerulean energy.
"Dad was right—fight fire with fire."
Reinvigorated, Bell dove back into the gloom. His compound eyes pierced the darkness as he navigated deeper, where gales roared like angry Dragonite.
WHOOSH!
A monstrous gust erupted. Bell's antennae twitched an instant before impact.
"Now!"
Azure energy flared as Tailwind activated, lightening his body. Simultaneously, psychic pink aura enveloped him—Telekinesis anchoring against the storm.
"This... this is coordination!"
Stones trembled, levitating around him as his focus intensified. The very air seemed to still in reverence to his willpower.
"Just... a little... further!"
With a final surge, Bell exploded through the maelstrom—
CRACK!
[Ding! Level Up!]
[New Move: Psychic (Upgraded from Telekinesis)]
Tumbling onto sunlit grass, Bell gaped at the notification.
"Psychic?! As in the actual move?!"
Behind him, dislodged pebbles clattered down the cliff face.
