A Metapod's Gambit
The current situation was too risky—one wrong move could mean death. Bell slowly retreated into his hollow, careful not to attract the attention of the two powerhouses outside.
His hopes for the Evergreen Berry evaporated.
But just as he turned—
Screech!
A Pidgey's cry startled him.
Two Pidgey now fought viciously over the berry, while a Rattata seized the chance to sneak toward it.
"Smart play... but not smart enough."
The moment Rattata's teeth touched the fruit, the rival Pidgey united against the outsider.
Their wings glowed blue as they unleashed Gust simultaneously— Whoosh!
The twin whirlwinds sent Rattata tumbling. The berry fell... right beneath Bell's tree.
"Perfect."
While Rattata became the scapegoat, Bell's String Shot silently reeled in his prize.
*One Day Later*
White light pulsed from Bell's body—evolution couldn't be delayed any longer. He devoured the berry in three bites.
**[Evolution Initiated]**
The hollow blazed with light as Bell's form shifted:
- Body elongating
- Exoskeleton hardening
- Energy condensing
When the glow faded, a **Metapod** occupied the space.
Status:
Host: Metapod (Bell)
Type: Bug
Potential: Orange ↑
Level: Lv. 8
Moves:
- Harden (New!)
- String Shot
- Tackle
- Bug Bite (Sealed)
"Orange potential! And two level jumps!"
Though immobilized, Bell rejoiced. Just two more levels until Butterfree —and flight!
**Seven Days of Cocoon Life**
1. Day 1: Boredom. Endless napping.
2. Day 2: Enhanced drowsiness—Metapod biology at work.
3. Day 3: Dreamt of giant butterfly wings.
4. Day 4: **[Lv. 9 Reached]** One step closer!
5. Day 5: Loneliness crept in. *Did my Caterpie parents abandon me?*
6. Day 6: That familiar surge—*final evolution approaching!*
7. Day 7: Restless energy cracked his cocoon.
**Evolution: Act II**
White light erupted again as Bell:
1. Spun a second cocoon (standard Metapod procedure)
2. Felt his **wings developing**
3. Bit free with new mandibles
The glow revealed:
Host: Butterfree (Bell)
Type: Bug/Flying
Potential: Orange
Level: Lv. 10
New Moves:
- Confusion
- Poison Powder
- Sleep Powder
His purple body gleamed, wings shimmering with prismatic scales.
*"I can fly now... and those powder moves? Game-changers."*
No longer prey—Bell was finally a contender.
