Currently, the small team Alex has gathered has reached a number of 5.
Besides Alex himself, there are Little Yellow and Little Rose, two Beedrill, as well as White and Brown, who will also evolve into Beedrill within a week.
A small team composed of five Beedrill is still far from the concept of a Family, but it can be considered to have taken initial shape.
In this primeval forest, while not an overlord of one side, they can be considered to have the qualification to occupy a small piece of territory.
And Alex is the king of this territory!
Let's look at the strength of his subordinates.
Little Yellow, who evolved into a Beedrill, is as large as ever, 0.1 meters taller than Alex.
In Alex's current team of five, Little Yellow is undoubtedly the strongest fighter!
And unlike the other three creatures who were subdued by force, Alex saved Little Yellow's life, so even if someone wanted to usurp power in the future, it would definitely not be Little Yellow. In fact, they would have to get past Little Yellow first.
Therefore, the strongest Little Yellow is also the partner he can trust the most.
Little Rose's size seems to have shrunk proportionally, only 1.6m, 0.2m shorter than Alex.
However, Little Rose's appearance is more prominent.
Her orange-yellow skin is bright and vibrant, her two large Baby-Doll Eyes are pink, and the black markings on her body are also very glossy.
Although Alex couldn't particularly appreciate it, judging from Little Yellow's occasional glances, he determined that Little Rose was definitely a beauty among Beedrill.
As for White and Brown, we can only see after they evolve.
"Let's go, let's go check near the lake!"
Alex waved his hand and left the big tree with Little Yellow and Little Rose.
Now that they can fly and have a team of three.
He doesn't dare to go high up and compete with those flying creatures, after all, their three Beedrill are only around Lv.10.
But flying around the forest and scouting the terrain should be no problem.
Under Alex's leadership, the three Beedrill flew forward at low altitude.
There was a distance from the grass below, and the dense tree canopy above blocked the sky, so the safety factor was very high.
'It's good to be able to fly.'
Alex couldn't help but sigh to himself.
Thinking back to when he was a Weedle, not only was he weak, but his movement speed was also particularly slow, and he could only move around within this area.
Now he can finally go a little further and see.
"Arbok!!!"
Just as Alex and his team were about to approach the lake.
A threatening growl suddenly came from the forest nearby.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
Alex instantly became interested and quickly flew in that direction with Little Rose and Little Yellow.
After flying about ten meters, Alex's expression instantly changed drastically.
He saw a huge Ekans nearly 3.5m long cornering a Poliwag and a Sandshrew.
Ekans inhabit grasslands and other areas in large numbers, always hiding deep in the grass. Its body continues to grow longer with age.
In the Alliance Era, Ekans were only 2m long, the average length in the Monster Era is unknown.
But this Ekans in front of them is clearly very threatening.
"Attack that snake!!"
Without a word, Alex led Little Yellow and Little Rose to attack the Ekans.
He didn't recognize that Sandshrew, but that Poliwag was clearly the little baby he had seen a few days ago.
Although it has already left its infancy, its level is still very low, and it is obviously no match for such a huge Ekans.
Poison Sting x3!
The three Beedrill simultaneously shot Poison Sting for ranged attack.
They have a natural advantage in the air and don't need to fight the Ekans on the ground.
Although Alex knew that the Poison-type move Poison Sting would not be very effective against the Poison-type Ekans, he wasn't trying to kill this Ekans, but rather to first see if he could scare it away.
"Hiss!!"
The Ekans recoiled to dodge the Poison Sting attacks.
It stared at the three Beedrill in mid-air with its eerie yellow eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then turned around and disappeared into the grass.
The Poliwag and Sandshrew trembled as they looked at the three imposing Beedrill.
They felt like they had just escaped a tiger's den only to enter a wolf's lair.
Alex signaled Little Yellow and Little Rose to stay put and landed alone in front of the Poliwag and Sandshrew.
The Poliwag and Sandshrew were both small guys only 0.6m tall.
In the Alliance Era, this should have reached the average height, but in this Monster Era, they were clearly just elementary school students who had just left their infancy.
"Why are you running around everywhere again?"
"...Kodo?!"
Hearing Alex's voice, the Poliwag was startled at first, then showed a shocked expression!
He couldn't imagine that the little bug that was about the same size as him back then had now become a tall and mighty creature.
"Why are you so surprised? Is this your friend?"
"Kodo."
The Poliwag was no longer afraid and quickly introduced the Sandshrew next to him to Alex.
"From the neighboring territory?"
Alex raised an eyebrow.
He found that the Poliwag seemed a little smarter after leaving its infancy, actually starting to understand things like 'territory'.
The Poliwag used to run around everywhere, completely ignoring whose territory the land under its feet belonged to.
"Kodo."
The Poliwag nodded, then introduced himself and the Sandshrew.
This introduction was quite informative.
It let Alex know a lot of real information.
Around that medium-sized lake, there were a total of three major territories.
One part was the territory of the Poliwag's father, a Poliwrath.
This territory was basically inhabited by weak creatures, but it was also the most peaceful area because of this.
Because powerful creatures would be driven out by the Poliwrath before they became a sufficient threat.
Another part was the territory of the Sandshrew's father, a Sandslash.
However, the Sandslash did not have the foresight to prepare for the unexpected.
He didn't care about anything all day long, allowing the creatures in his territory to grow, and the price was that he was later killed and swallowed whole by a powerful Arbok.
And the Sandshrew fled all the way to this side.
That Arbok followed his scent all the way here.
The last part was the territory of a pair of Nidoking and Nidoqueen couple.
Among the three overlords, this couple's strength was the most powerful, and this was also a relatively neutral territory.
Anyone could come here to live and could also attack other creatures; it didn't matter as long as they didn't disturb the Nido family.
"I said, why did you run around everywhere before and nothing happened? So, you were the landlord's silly son?!"
Alex finally understood.
At the same time, he secretly rejoiced that he was born in the Poliwrath's territory, which was why he hadn't encountered any powerful creatures along the way.
If he had been born in the other two areas, perhaps creatures like Caterpie and Weedle could only become food.
'I still need to lie low here for a while, wait until I become stronger, and then go out and seize territory. For now, let's target that Arbok.'
After thinking it through, Alex turned around and left with Little Rose and Little Yellow.
This time, the Poliwag still wanted him to stay and play, but he refused.
He was still not strong enough.
He still couldn't afford to play.
