It was the next day as the sun rose slowly over the riverbank, casting a warm golden glow on the water as Sage sat on rock close to the edge of the river as she was thinking of ways to unlock Pidgey potential and make it evolve as Sage suddenly had a great idea.
Sage idea was she was going to have Pidgey and Pikachu spare against each and hopefully that would be enough to help Pidgey break it's limits and evolve
Pidgey are you ready?" Sage asked as she was watching her trusty bird Pokémon hop forward as it was chirping with determination.
Sage then looked to Pikachu who was already buzzing with energy as tiny sparks was already dancing around its cheeks.
Sage knew Pikachu had a type advantage but she also believed this was exactly the kind of challenge Pidgey needed to reach the next level.
Pidgey use Gust!" Sage commanded as her voice was steady with encouragement.
Pidgey flapped its wings fiercely as it began summoning a small but powerful whirlwind that rushed towards Pikachu but Pikachu was quick to counter.
Pikachu use Thunder Punch!" Sage said.
Pikachu dashed forward as its fist was crackling with electricity as Pikachu punched Pidgey sending it flying towards the ground as Pidgey recovered but it was badly hurt.
Don't let up, Pidgey! Use Sand Attack!" Sage called.
Pidgey spun around and kicked up a cloud of dust toward Pikachu as the sand blurred Pikachu's vision and caused it to pause and blink rapidly but Pikachu wasn't deterred as it leapt forward.
Pikachu use Iron Tail!" Sage instructed.
Pikachu's tail gleamed metallic as it leaped and strike Pidgey with precision as the force of the hit sent Pidgey spiraling backward and before Sage could react, Pidgey splashed down into the river with a loud splash.
Pidgey!" Sage's heart pounded as she rushed toward the riverbank as she was ready to dive in and save her Pokémon but just as she reached the water's edge, she saw a brilliant blue glow emanating from beneath the water.
Everyone watched in awe as Pidgey burst from the river as its wings was stretched wide and Pidgey seemed be glistening with an unmistakable new power as Sage gasped as her face was lighting up in amazement.
Pidgey... you evolved!" she exclaimed.
As the glow faded, Pidgey revealed its new form as it had powerful wings, fierce talons and a noble gaze as Pidgeotto floated gracefully in front of her as it looked proud and strong.
Sage quickly pulled out her Rotom Phone, which scanned Pidgeotto and displayed its entry.
Pidgeotto the Bird Pokémon. Known for its speed and strength, it has keen eyesight that can spot prey from high up in the sky.
Sage noticed a new move listed among Pidgeotto's moveset as Sand Attack had been replaced by Air Cutter.
All right, Pidgeotto let's test your new move!" Sage said, pointing to a nearby tree.
With a powerful flap of its wings, Pidgeotto launched a series of razor-sharp air blades toward a tree as the tree's bark splintered where the Air Cutter struck as it showed Sage just how powerful the attack was.
You did amazing, Pidgeotto!" Sage praised as she gave her newly evolved Pokémon a proud smile.
Pidgeotto chirped happily as it was flapping its wings with a sense of newfound confidence as Sage could see that this evolution had not only made it stronger but had deepened their bond.
