Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 389 Sakaki: I am the strongest man in Kanto!

Beedrill?!
It has a yellow body, red eyes, black stripes on its tail, and its hands are its signature white needles.

There's no mistake, this is a Beedrill!
One of the most popular Pokémon used by roadside bug catchers in the Kanto region. Although it is the final evolution, how strong is it?

Well... not so satisfactory.

But Giovanni, the strongest Gym Leader in the Kanto region, and now a world-class Trainer who is evenly matched with Kanto Champion Lance, throws out a Beedrill in such a crucial battle?

"This... Uncle Giovanni didn't bring the wrong Pokémon, did he?"

Even Plantina hesitated before speaking when she saw the giant Beedrill.

It wasn't that she looked down on Beedrill, but could Beedrill really withstand this level of battle?

Yes, there's a saying that there are no weak Pokémon, only weak trainers.

However, the strength rankings between Pokémon are real.

At the same level, how many Beedrill can a Dragonite defeat?

This is a clear difference in strength, and this is the reality.

Mammon chuckled softly upon hearing this, not surprised by Prandina's reaction.

After all, without seeing it with their own eyes, who would believe that Giovanni, a trainer who wrote the book "The Secrets of the Earth," actually has a Beedrill as his ace Pokémon?

Oh, no, with Groudon joining the team, Giovanni's ace now is Groudon.

But for Giovanni, Beedrill's existence is still extremely special.

"Uncle Sakaki's Beedrill is very different."

Gadriya glanced at Plantina and said calmly.

She had witnessed Beedrill's performance firsthand and naturally understood its power.

"It's that Beedrill!"

On the other side, Mikey was very excited because he remembered that this Beedrill had saved him!

In truth, Giovanni was his savior; Beedrill saved him once, and Dugtrio saved him once.

Sakaki, the gym leader! My absolute favorite!
"Yes, Mr. Sakaki's Beedrill is really strong."

Daigo wholeheartedly agreed, and he had expressed his curiosity about this more than once.

That is to say, how exactly did Giovanni raise a Beedrill to this level of strength? In a head-on confrontation, even his Mega Metagross is no match for Giovanni's Beedrill.

It's just so unscientific!
Leon's Charizard is somewhat understandable, since Charizard is already quite powerful, but Beedrill is truly astonishing.

"Gym Leader Giovanni must have put in unimaginable effort and sweat, and given so much love, otherwise Beedrill could not have grown to this level."

Mikoli looked deeply moved and touched.

He could imagine the days when Giovanni trained Beedrill with great effort when he was young.

“Indeed.” This time, Daigo did not refute Michael, but wholeheartedly agreed.

To raise a bee to this level, time, effort, sweat, perseverance, trust, and a deep bond are all indispensable.

"But all efforts pay off, and Mr. Sakaki is truly going to become world-famous this time."

Daigo looked at the middle-aged man in a suit on the field and the Beedrill in front of him, and sighed.

Galer region.

Upon seeing the giant Beedrill, Rose's expression turned somewhat strange as he looked at Leon.

"It's hard to imagine, but do you believe it, Master? My Mega Charizard Y is evenly matched with this Mega Beedrill after its Mega Evolution."

Dandi's expression was equally strange as he replied to Loz.

"This is impossible!"

Before Lorze could utter a sound, his secretary, Olive, was so shocked that she fell silent.

In the eyes of everyone in Galarian, Leon's Charizard was only one thing: 'invincible'!
And the power of the super-evolved Dan-Bang is self-evident.

But Dan Di actually said that his Mega Charizard Y was only evenly matched with this Beedrill?

"It's true." Dan Di chuckled and shook his head, a strong fighting spirit appearing in his eyes as he looked at the Beedrill in the live stream.

"That Beedrill is truly a formidable enemy that's hard to forget!"

On the field.

"The giant needle wasp?!"

Even Lance, upon seeing Beedrill's appearance, couldn't help but tense up.

Beedrill? Is Giovanni here to humiliate him?!

But A-Du is A-Du after all, and this thought arose subconsciously. He quickly realized that it didn't make sense.

This is a crucial championship challenge for Giovanni.

Having come this far, Awata didn't believe Sakaki would joke in this situation.

What's more...

With his Tokiwa power, Wataru's senses were exceptionally sharp. After carefully examining the giant bee queen, Wataru discovered...

This Beedrill exudes a deep and terrifying aura; it is definitely very strong!
A-Du's eyes gradually became serious, yet also carried a chilling excitement.

"I thought you, Wataru, would think I was mocking you."

With a natural and elegant movement, Sakaki pulled out his left hand, which had been tucked into his pocket the whole time, twisted his shirt collar, and spoke with a faint smile.

"If this is all the magnanimity you have, then it only proves that you are nothing special," Adu said calmly.

"But it really surprised me, Beedrill? Heh~"

It's hard to tell what A-Du meant. Was it sarcasm? No, perhaps it was more of a surprise.

However, Giovanni didn't seem to care.

"After all, not everyone is as blessed as you, Champion Lance, whose starter Pokémon is Dratini."

Giovanni looked at the back of Beedrill in front of him, a slight sigh in his eyes.

"Oh?" A-Du became a little interested, but only a little, and he did not agree with what Sakaki said.

"Heaven's favor? What right do you have to criticize me?"

As Adu finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"Giantsa, you and I were both chosen by Viridian Forest. What's the difference between you and me? Weedle? Dratini? Complaining about unfairness?" "Just a sore loser. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Do you think Dratini is superior as a starter Pokémon for beginner trainers?"

As Lance himself said, although Dragon-type Pokémon are difficult to catch, once they are properly trained, they are unparalleled!
But dragons are not only difficult to tame, they are also very difficult to train!

Why are pseudo-legendary Pokémon like Dragonite called 'late bloomers'? It's because they have a slow growth rate.

And what about Beedrill?
Although Weedle is weak and Beedrill isn't very strong, is Beedrill really unsuitable as a beginner Pokémon in a sense?

Generally speaking, it can only be said that Beedrill and Dragonite are indeed far apart in terms of potential, but for a newcomer who has just embarked on a journey.

It's truly impossible to say which is better or worse.

At least A-Du himself understands the hardships he endured when he first started raising Dratini, but those are all in the past.

What people see now is only the Dragon Envoy standing atop the peak of Guandu, radiating brilliance, aloof and arrogant.

"Hehe~ Adu, you really surprised me."

Upon hearing this, Sakaki narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at A-du for a long while, and then couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Hmph!" A-Du snorted coldly.

"So……"

Sakaki slowly raised his arm, revealing a fine watch on his wrist with a beautiful keystone on the strap.

"The Great Needle Bee!"

The Mega Stones on Beedrill's body shone simultaneously, and the light of evolution shone.

In the blink of an eye, a super Beedrill with overwhelming momentum and sharp edge appeared, wielding its four needle gun arms.

A super bee with both insect and venom!
Adu's eyes narrowed; this giant Beedrill was incredibly strong!
"Watari, from this day forward, the strongest man in Kanto will be me, Sakaki!"

Sakaki gently twisted the watch on his wrist, a wild arrogance gracing his lips.

"Oh? Don't talk such ridiculous nonsense."

A-Du's expression twisted strangely, finally turning into a ferocious and excited smile.

"My dragon didn't agree!"

"Kuailong, the big character is Explosive Flame!"

The Dragonite 2 in front of Adol flapped its wings and took off, its mouth condensing into a thick flame that shot out in a 'T' shape towards Super Beedrill.

The big character of fire attribute explodes!

"Splitting tiles." Sakaki smiled faintly.

Faced with the oncoming raging flames, Mega Beedrill didn't even move an inch. One of its arms, resembling a knight's lance, was raised high, emitting a dense white light.

Fighting-type tile-splitting!

boom!
The tile-splitting technique struck the large-character explosive flame with tremendous force. To the astonishment of all the spectators, the powerful large-character explosive flame was cleaved in two by the tile-splitting technique.

Adu's pupils narrowed.

The raging flames slid away from both sides of Mega Beedrill's body. Under the fiery red heat wave, Mega Beedrill's eyes were cold and calm, completely unaffected by the temperature of the flames around it.

Another lance was swung horizontally, and the remaining flames were instantly swept away by the strong wind.

"Hi~!"

A collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the audience.

"Isn't this too strong?!"

Serena was truly shocked.

While Dragonite's special attack is indeed quite average compared to its physical attack, this is only in comparison to its physical attack.

Dragonite's special attack is actually not bad at all, especially since this is Lance's Dragonite.

But judging from the nonchalant and carefree attitude of this giant bee, this is just too outrageous!
"Venomous attack!"

Sakaki uttered two more words.

Mega Beedrill raised its Knight's Lance, its body instantly transforming into a yellow afterimage as it charged towards the opposing Dragonite.

"Dragon's Claw!"

Not to be outdone, Lance immediately sent Dragonite to meet the attack.

Refund? Absolutely not!
A-Du understands that this super Beedrill is incredibly strong, but that's precisely why he needs to learn more about it.

Dragonite 2 was already in low condition, so it was perfect for testing the waters. If it could inflict some damage on Mega Beedrill, that would be ideal.

Facing the Mega Beedrill charging at high speed, Dragonite showed no fear, its sharp Dragon Claws glowing as it swung directly at the Mega Beedrill.

The Super Beedrill also thrust out a deep purple Knight's Lance needle straight out.

Poison Strike vs. Dragon Claw!
boom!
The needles and claws collided heavily, but the stalemate lasted only a moment before the giant Beedrill exerted its strength again.

The poison attack shattered the Dragon Claw and pierced the Dragonite's chest.

Dragonite let out a low growl of pain, its entire body shooting backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground.

The entire battlefield trembled under the violent impact.

A-Du's face turned ugly. It shattered at the slightest touch? How could that be? Even his ace Dragonite couldn't possibly defeat Dragonite 2's attack in an instant.

However, that is the reality; Mega Beedrill has very high physical attack and is further enhanced by its Adaptability ability.

The Super Beedrill is incredibly aggressive!
"Missile needle."

The next moment, the Super-Giant Needle Bee raised its four needles, and white light continuously shone and condensed.

Boom boom boom!
A barrage of missiles and needle beams rained down, relentlessly bombarding the spot where the Dragonite had crashed.

The deafening roar continued for quite some time, and the thick smoke and dust remained unnoticed.

The giant bee swung its arm, and a powerful gust of wind blew away all the smoke and dust.

The battlefield, riddled with craters and in complete disarray, came into everyone's view; it had been blasted like this by missiles.

In a deep pit, Dragonite had clearly lost its ability to fight and lay at the bottom of the pit.

Most of the audience stared in disbelief at the Mega Beedrill floating in mid-air, as if it were the first time they had ever seen this Pokémon.

"Holy crap! Beedrill!!!"
