1.Ash's Story (Part 3: Hoenn)

Chapter 10

When we decide to train our Pokemon since Professor Birch wants to see our training and much to our delight, Silcoon evolves into Beautifly.

Beautifly: The Butterfly Pokemon: Bug and Flying Type. Evolved from Silcoon at LV:10. Beautifly's favorite food is the sweet pollen of flowers. If you want to see this Pokémon, just leave a potted flower by an open window. Beautifly is sure to come looking for pollen.

Then we decide to look around until we spot some Makuhita training by punching the trees. Minami says, "They're Makuhitas! And it seems that they're training."

When we see some Makuhita being thrown down, Mark says, "When Makuhita falls down to the ground, they will never give up and stand back up."

"They sure have a strong will." I say. Then Professor Birch wants to try battling the Makuhita with his own fists, until a Haze attack spills into the area, and Team Rocket appears from their hiding place, they also capture a Nincada in a net.

"Not you guys again..." I groan as I have Cascoon to battle. Cascoon subdues Seviper with a String Shot attack.

"I don't care if your Silcoon is strong, I'll show you mine!" Jessie yells as she sends out her Cascoon.

"That is not a Silcoon, you know, it's a Cascoon!" Professor Birch says.

"You're hurting her feelings! This is a Silcoon so stop calling her anything else!" Jessie yells.

"It is definitely a Cascoon because it looks the same as ours here." Alice says.

"Yeah, let me show you a real Silcoon!" Then May also sends out her own, and Jessie, being the stupid and stubborn one, says, "Yeah, they look just alike."

"Yeah, they have a slight resemblance, but look at their eyes! A Cascoon has bright clear eyes!"

"Yes, my Silcoon has bright clear eyes!" Jessie taunts. "I'm anxious for it to become a Beautifly."

Jessie and May battle, both using their cocoon Pokémon. As the two clash in a fierce, head-on Tackle attack, Silcoon evolves into Beautifly. The battle ends when our Cascoon evolves into a Dustox, and it intervenes with a Silver Wind, sending their foes flying into the woods.

"Awesome, my Cascoon evolved." I say.

Dustox: The Poison Moth Pokemon: Bug and Poison Type. Evolved from Cascoon at LV:10. When Dustox flaps its wings, fine dust is scattered all over. This dust is actually a powerful poison that will even make a pro wrestler sick. This Pokémon searches for food using its antennae-like radar.

"And your Silcoon evolved as well." Alice says as our Dustox goes to play with May's.

"Yeah. I can't wait to see how to use the contest." May says with delight.

"How about you use the Frisbee? I will show you." I toss the Frisbee and my Beautifly uses Gust to let it spin in the air.

Minami says, "That is a cool move."

"Let me try it." May says as I hand her the Frisbee. Then we decided to continue training with the Butterfly Pokemon, and we also had Butterfree helping out. Then the Makuhita notice our Pokemon and wants to battle, so I have pink Butterfree to battle and after Makuhita is defeated, we capture the Pokemon.

Makuhita: The Guts Pokemon: Fighting Type. Makuhita is tenacious - it will keep getting up and attacking its foe however many times it is knocked down. Every time it gets back up, this Pokémon stores more energy in its body for evolving.

Not long after, Team Rocket appears and Jessie challenges us to a battle. May accepts and leads the attack with her Beautifly, sending Cascoon flying backward with Gust. James sends out his Cacnea to help, while I call out Dustox. Cacnea makes the first move, sending Pin Missiles to attack Dustox, which it skillfully dodges. Dustox returns the favor with a Tackle attack, narrowly missing Cacnea. During the battle between Jessie and May, Cascoon starts to evolve. Fearful of Jessie's wrath, Meowth dresses up as a Beautifly and hides Dustox. This was seen through easily, however, and Jessie uncovers it, only to find not a Beautifly, but a Dustox instead.
