"Butterfree, Sleep Powder!"
Butterfree's massive wings flapped, scales shimmering in hypnotic waves.
Combusken ran smack into the cloud!
Held out for three seconds—boom, crashed out, snoring like a Snorlax!
Jiang Feng facepalmed. That accuracy? Non-citizen luck!
Embarrassing—drugged to sleep by a big butterfly!
Lesson learned: Against Butterfree, play smart, not smashy.
But Jiang Feng wasn't sweating.
Butterfree's fresh off evolution—Sleep Powder's weak sauce, short control.
Tanked a Psychic, lost some HP, Combusken woke up fast.
Li Xiao Du, salty, ordered Butterfree low for a point-blank Sleep Powder + Compound Eyes combo—guaranteed lockdown!
Too bad Jiang Feng had the counter.
"Dig and dodge!"
Master-tier Dig carves three-bedroom apartments, blasting underground, evading the Sleep Powder rain!
Popped up under Butterfree!
Go time, kid!
"Combusken, Rock Smash!"
Bursting from the dirt, Combusken vaulted, slamming a fist into the butterfly!
Half a month's grind—Dig and Rock Smash both hit Master-tier!
Hiyah—!
BAM!!
Butterfree took the haymaker, tumbling like a cut string!
CRASH!!
The ground spidered with fine cracks!
Master Rock Smash, engage!
This punch? Pure grind!
Can you tank it?
It did!
Two-and-a-half years' investment—jumbo Butterfree was tanky, HP pool deeper than a Wailord!
Calm now, Li Xiao Du exploited flight—keep distance, Psychic poke!
Unlike turn-based games, flying 'mons kite grounders with ranged spam.
No fly? Pain.
Deep feels that one.
But…
There's a fix.
"Combusken, Dig underground!"
Facing Psychic blasts, Combusken went old six mode, burrowing safe.
BOOM—
Psychic hit dirt, reaping two weeds…
…splashing three dust specks.
Li Xiao Du froze.
What now? Butterfree can't Earthquake!
No breaker?
Then Trainer time—trash talk!
"Jiang Feng, your Combusken just a turtle? Lame! Come out and face me!"
"I'll poke you!"
Li Xiao Du bossed, taunting.
Jiang Feng picked his ear.
"Clucky, hear that? He called you a turtle!"
Combusken peeked from the hole, glaring, claws waving.
Then flipped the bird.
Rough translation: You're the turtle—your whole fam's Squirtle!
Squirtle: Same starter fam, why hate?
"Hmph, dud chicken! Dare ya not hide—come fight fair!"
Knowing Combusken's temper, Li Xiao Du baited.
Dud chicken?
My flames are inferno!
Trash my Trainer? Fine. Trash my kun clan? Dead!
Combusken erupted, jumping out, standing tall—no dodge!
Li Xiao Du grinned, ordering the strike!
Really not dodging?
Nope—Smiling Card kept it calm, channeling rage to Proficiency!
Old six mode activated!
Dug back in, evading, popping out another hole.
Wagged claws at Butterfree, taunting.
Come at me!
Verify your badge!
I'll P you!
Butterfree? Ignored it.
High-cold goddess vibe, unapproachable…
Jiang Feng shook his head. Word count padded—time to end this circus!
"Clucky, double-hand job—you know it?"
He pointed at ground rocks, then sky.
Combusken clicked, grabbing a pebble, yeeting it!
Poor man's Rock Slide!
No move boost, but Kirin Arms made pebbles bullet-tier!
Butterfree's big body? Sitting duck. Not speedy, it ate barrage!
Jiang Feng thumbs-upped Combusken.
Reverse son's grown up.
Clay pigeon skills? Nailed my style.
Beast!
Let the bullets fly a bit!
Shoot that feathered Butterfree!
Don't stop—blast it!
Bang-bang-bang!
Rocks rained like machine-gun fire on the butterfly!
Even tanky Butterfree couldn't tank endless pebble spam!
Plummeted like a pregnant Pidgey!
Busted!
BOOM!
Smashed down, trembling, riddled with pebble holes.
"Butterfree's out—Jiang Feng wins!"
"Damn, am I seeing things? Butterfree getting blasted feels kinda NSFW…"
"Don't cap, bro—got visions!"
The bros leered, girls swooned at Jiang Feng's drip face and Dig entrance.
"OMG, so hot—looks, build, beast!"
"Spikemuth Academy got this stud? How'd we miss him?!"
"Wait, Dud Chicken Jiang Feng?!"
"That's him! Thought he was trash—how's he this strong?!"
"I'll bear his Torchic babies!"
Battles are brutal.
Shine or shine out!
Li Xiao Du, peak glow-up, now just backdrop for Jiang Feng!
Grudgingly, he scooped his battered Butterfree, slinking off tail tucked.
Winner takes all!
Peaks fake fans, valleys show true believers!
Moves unmastered? Real fights expose flaws.
Evolution glow-up with no hard skills?
No feats, no badge.
Not even seeded.
Trash who if not him?
