Chapter 303: Pidgeotto\'s Improvement
"Wohh... Is that even a \'String Shot\' now?" exclaimed A, feeling a tinge of jealousy knowing his Beedrill couldn\'t perform such a feat.
Axel and the others gathered to inspect the transformed move. It was incredibly sticky, and even B, unable to resist curiosity, accidentally touched it and found himself unable to free his hand. The sight of B panicking in a sticky situation brought some amusement to the onlookers.
Eventually, Charizard arrived and used a mild version of \'Flamethrower\' to dissolve the sticky residue and free B. Axel discovered that the upgraded \'String Shot\' now possessed binding capabilities, enhanced stickiness, and even some resistance to fire. This significant improvement intrigued Axel, prompting him to study \'Resolve\' in much greater detail going forward. The move held countless possibilities, both for Axel and Beedrill.

Pidgeotto was having a rather challenging day. The grooming machine turned out to be a hoax, leaving it disappointed and feeling betrayed. It reluctantly accepted that it would now have to rely on Axel\'s grooming skills to tidy its feathers.
Initially skeptical, Pidgeotto was pleasantly surprised by the meticulous job Axel did, approving him as a worthy feather caretaker. It realized that it had misjudged him and now regretted wasting the reward it had initially planned to offer.
However, Pidgeotto\'s frustration grew as Axel hadn\'t taught it any new moves. Axel had set a condition that Pidgeotto must first learn to use \'Aerial Ace\' in conjunction with \'Tail Wind\' before considering further training.
Pidgeotto took this as a challenge, acknowledging that mastering these moves would make it stronger. It sought guidance from senior teammates like Shedinja and Alakazam, who provided valuable advice. Slowly, Pidgeotto began to realize its own self-centeredness and started warming up to its team members.
It understood that there was more to its growth than solely focusing on itself. While continuing to train \'Aerial Ace\' and \'Tail Wind,\' Pidgeotto secretly trained at night as well, diligently working towards its goal. Months of relentless training finally paid off when,

Ding!
Pidgeotto\'s Tail wind had leveled up to 40

That night, Pidgeotto felt a newfound ability to manipulate \'Tail Wind\' and eagerly sought to test its capabilities again. Nighttime training was a special time reserved for a select few of Axel\'s Pokémon, including Shedinja, Gogoat, and now Pidgeotto.

"Boss, I think I can do it now," Pidgeotto said to Shedinja, who was still regarded as the leader of the night training group.
"Kid, it\'s already very late. You know the rules. We should rest now," Shedinja replied.
Shedinja had been the first to participate in the night training sessions, seeking to improve its skills when it was still the weakest Pokémon on Axel\'s team.
However, it soon realized that training both day and night diminished the results and posed risks of exhaustion. Consequently, Shedinja established rules, allowing a maximum of three hours of nighttime training for the team, with Pidgeotto being limited to two hours due to its lesser power.
"Boss! Just one more time! I\'ll show you that I can do it!" Pidgeotto exclaimed excitedly.
Pidgeotto possessed a mischievous and lively nature.
"Let the kid give it one more try," Gogoat chimed in.
Reluctantly, Shedinja agreed, granting Pidgeotto one final attempt.
With enthusiasm, Pidgeotto began to flap its wings, generating a swirling whirlwind. Shedinja could discern that this \'Tail Wind\' wasn\'t unleashed at full power intentionally, as Pidgeotto sought to gauge its ability to manipulate the move effectively.
The Pokémon accelerated, soaring high into the air. Its remarkable speed was truly a sight to behold, as it was one of the fastest flying Pokémon despite its common ranking. Pidgeotto executed sharp turns, diving from the sky and maneuvering at incredible speeds.
In the midst of this display, Shedinja noticed that the whirlwind had changed direction, now assisting Pidgeotto in augmenting its speed. With precision, Pidgeotto struck the target on a tree trunk with \'Aerial Ace.\'
Overjoyed, Pidgeotto leaped with jubilation. After months of dedicated training, it had finally mastered this combination and was now eligible to learn a new move from Axel. Shedinja and Gogoat congratulated Pidgeotto on its hard work. Eager to share the good news, Pidgeotto couldn\'t wait until morning and swiftly flew towards Axel\'s room.
