Chapter 148 Introduction to Spearow and Peacock

"Class, in today's lesson we'll learn about the Spearow and the Finch. I'm sure many of you are familiar with these creatures."

Then the teacher took out a Poké Ball from his waist and released the two Pokémon.

Perhaps because it is so common, students' interest in it has been halved.

"Classmates, it seems you think Spearow is too common, so you underestimate its abilities. But you should know that once a certain number of Spearow are present, even Gym Leaders cannot afford to be careless."

"Whoa!"

I don't believe it.

The students didn't believe Teacher Shi's words at all. After all, in their minds, as long as you were strong, you could solve anything.

"You don't believe me? Then I'll show you this video."

As soon as he finished speaking, Teacher Shi turned on the projector and played a video of a bird being attacked by a flock of peacocks.

The video shows hundreds upon hundreds of Spearow relentlessly attacking a remote town with their skills. At the same time, there are at least a hundred trainers struggling to hold on.

However, at that moment, the sky suddenly changed, and thunder rumbled. Seeing this weather, the trainers immediately had their Pokémon unleash a wide-range thunder attack, which drove the flock of Spearow away from the outlying town.

"Classmates, did you see that? This is a video of a flock of Spearow attacking a remote town. As you probably know, once they reach a certain number, even trainers have to avoid them. If it weren't for the favorable weather, you probably know what would have happened to them."

The students were shocked by the video. They never imagined that the Fiery Sparrows, which they could usually bully so easily, would be so terrifying when they swarmed in groups of hundreds or thousands.

"Xiao Gang, you see? When we went to find the Beedrill swarm, if we had lingered with the Spearow a little longer, its entire swarm would have swarmed over. So, when you're out and about, strength is the most important thing, and secondly, you must not provoke large swarms of Pokémon."

"understood."

Xiao Gang and Yang Bin completely agreed with Xuan Mingtian's words. They often went out with him and knew about this.

"Class, open your books, let's begin learning about the Spearow."

As the students opened their books, a clear picture of a shrike came into view.

The Falcon is a bird spirit. Its back is black, and its entire chest and abdomen are beige with fine stripes. It has a bushy brown crest on its head, resembling a hedgehog's hairstyle.

Just like Xiao Gang next to Xuan Mingtian, he also has the same hairstyle. They're not exactly the same, but they're not far off.

The beak is short and hooked. The falcon has three claws on its pale pink feet. Its wings are pink with pale pink edges. It has three brown tail feathers.

Both have unconventional appearances, but Spearow's look is more unsettling than Pidgey's. Therefore, many people, upon first glance at the two Pokémon, will choose Pidgey.

The finless jay has short wings and is not very good at flying; it is not adept at high-altitude flight and cannot fly far. Because of its short wings, it flaps its wings frequently.

It feeds on insects and other creatures in the grass, hopping around busily pecking at insect spirits with its beak, and occasionally attacking sunflower seeds.

It has a voracious appetite and eats a lot, making the Falconet highly valued by farmers troubled by insect spirits. It will circle around its territory at supersonic speed to protect its territory from invasion.

It is reckless by nature, and will charge at its opponent even if it is a large Pokémon, as long as it is to protect its territory.

To protect its territory, it emits a loud call. The loud call can be heard up to 1 kilometer away.

When its loud cries can be heard everywhere, it's a signal that its companions are in danger. Although it's physically weak, its counterattack is terrifying.

Looking at the introduction and the information on the screen, the students were all taken aback. Because the teacher was right, this finless jay was indeed the honey badger of the bird world, its aggressive nature perfectly portrayed.

"Brother Tian, ​​why don't you have any Fiery Sparrows on your farm? I saw in the introduction that Fiery Sparrows are very beneficial to crops, and it also says that farmers value Fiery Sparrows very much."

Yang Bin shared his doubts with Xuan Mingtian, since that's what the introduction said. He also noticed that he hadn't seen a single Fiery Sparrow at his older brother's house.

“Oh, Spearow isn’t native to the Sinnoh region. If it breeds on a large scale, it could very well affect the local bird ecosystem, especially since we already have Staraptor at home.”

Yang Bin shook his head, still not understanding Xuan Mingtian's statement.

"Actually, there's another main reason, which is that Spearow and Finch are a bit too ugly. They can't compare to the handsome Starhawk at all."

It seems Xuan Mingtian is also a sucker for good looks.

Turning to the next page, a creature with a long beak and neck, and exceptionally large wings, appeared before my eyes—this was the evolved form of Spearow: Finch.

The large-billed finch has orange feathers, with a creamy white section between its wings and the tips of its feathers. It has a red crest on its head and a long, sharp, pink beak.

With its long neck, rough and messy feathers on its chest (in short, abundant chest feathers), and four brown tail feathers.

Its wings are wide and large, and its light pink claws have four toes, three pointing forward and one pointing backward.

Even if a large-billed finches sense the slightest danger, they will immediately fly into the sky.

It can fly into the sky in one go and then swoop down to attack. Its long neck and beak make it easy to catch prey in the soil or water. It can skillfully use its slender beak to clamp its prey.

Walking around with food in the territory of the Great Toucan is quite dangerous, because the food can be stolen in the blink of an eye.

In Alola, its prey is fish spirits. It can be seen circling the sea in search of food. It also attacks with its long, sharp beak; be wary if it suddenly extends its beak, as this is a sign that it is about to attack.

It can soar through the air continuously with its large wings, and has the stamina to fly back and forth all day long without landing.

Because of its strength and excellent endurance, it can remain calm even when carrying heavy cargo for an entire day. Of course, this is on the premise that it must be tamed, otherwise it will be useless.

Finch is a Pokémon that has existed since ancient times. Research has shown that Pokémon resembling Finch are depicted in ancient murals. However, these depictions always show them carrying cargo.

Another crucial point to remember is in the wild. Never provoke groups of finches or big-billed finches, or you'll be at risk of being attacked by at least dozens of them at once.
