Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

On the banks of the Songjiang River.

Large and small creatures filled both banks, and the river was a vast expanse of red, dotted with specks of blue.

The red ones are the Magikarp swimming upstream, and the Magikarp that is running out of energy and being swept away by the river.

The blue ones are the Gyarados that have just completed their evolution.

"roar!!"

A Gyarados that has just completed its evolution lets out a long roar to the sky.

He was very lucky and became one of the few fortunate ones who successfully evolved.

However, his location was very bad, being near the riverbank, so he was attacked as soon as he finished evolving.

"Little Du, the Phillips shears!"

A male human voice traveled across the river and reached his ears; he looked in the direction of the sound.

The person who shouted was a tiny human, and the elf he commanded was even smaller, not even as big as his mouth.

"roar!"

Having just completed its evolution and feeling its entire body brimming with boundless power, Gyarados could not tolerate the provocation of the "little bug" and immediately let out a deafening roar.

A chilling aura surged from his mouth, quickly forming a set of sharp teeth forged from ice.

Frozen Fang, one of the ice-attribute moves, is a new move he has just mastered.

Whether it was due to his talent or the gift of evolution, his Frozen Fang was not slow to cast and showed no signs of lag, succeeding on his first try.

It didn't look like he was using a move in battle for the first time at all.

"An evolved instinctive combat talent, huh...?"

Watching Gyarados use Ice Fang so smoothly that it did so instinctively, Mu Yun thought to himself.

Normally, when a Pokémon learns a new move, it is at a beginner or just starting level, and the move will feel very difficult to use at this stage.

Only by reaching a level of mastery can one smoothly unleash the moves.

Clearly, this Gyarados, which has just completed its evolution, is at the mastery level when using Ice Fang.

Perhaps this is a gift from heaven to the Gyarados family.

"Hiss!"

While Mu Yun was pondering, Xiao Du had already crossed the river wind and rushed towards Gyarados at an extremely fast speed.

Facing Gyarados's Ice Fang attack, Xiao Du remained calm and used its small size and high speed to easily dodge Gyarados's bite attack with a single wing flap.

To Gyarados's astonishment, the bee stinger, shimmering with a pale green glow, struck Gyarados squarely on the forehead.

boom!

The cross-cutting shears hit the target!

Special Feature: Strike at the vital points!

Boom! !

A critical hit triggers!

The power of the Phillips Shears has been increased to 300%!

Bug-type moves have an additional 200% power boost!

boom!!

The two figures, vastly different in size, collided, and Xiao Du, like an iron lead ball, slammed into Gyarados, sending it sprawling on its back.

Even with Gyarados's double resistance to bugs, it couldn't withstand the numerous buffs and effects from Xiaodu.

Unsurprisingly, this level 21 Gyarados fell...

..............................

[Ding! Beedrill (26) defeated Gyarados (21). Permanent Quest 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level was detected to be lower than yours. Congratulations, host, your reward is halved, you have gained 5 points!]

..............................

[Ding! Target detected as Short-Term Mission 7: Leaping Over the Dragon Gate. Target level detected... Detection complete. Congratulations, host, you have obtained 1 Evolution Essence Fragments!]

..............................

"Thump!!"

"Yo yo!!"

Seeing the shocking scene of Gyarados being instantly defeated by Little One, Bear and Mudduck widened their eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

As expected of Teacher Dugu, who has grasped the essence of maturity, he is truly capable!

"So...so strong!"

Chi Duoduo, standing to the side, watched as Xiao Du instantly defeated Gyarados in one move, and covered her mouth in surprise, murmuring something.

While Xiao Du may not be as expressive as Namikaze who just unleashed his storm, his impact is far more striking, especially considering the vast difference in size between them, where he managed to kill his opponent in one move.

Not only was Chi Duoduo surprised, but some of the trainers around her also showed surprise.

What kind of Pokémon is Beedrill?

Even if you ask someone who slipped through the net nine times, they can give you a detailed explanation of this issue.

They are as numerous as Magikarp, and can be found in any deserted forest.

The honey they produce is delicious, but it's a bit pricey.

Individually, they are not particularly strong, but they like to stick together and have consistently ranked among the top three on the list of "most unwanted Pokémon in the wild".

But this Pokémon, which is generally considered to be the weakest and most vulnerable, just managed to defeat Gyarados in one move!

The impact of this scene naturally drew frequent glances from those around them.

"A Gyarados with the Flying type was instantly defeated by a Bug-type Beedrill? What level is that Beedrill?"

"It's probably a Beedrill at the peak of the elite level or the top level. I didn't expect that someone would spend so much effort on a Pokémon like Beedrill."

Some of the trainers nearby were discussing it quietly.

It's no wonder they were puzzled.

Normally, Beedrill have very low average stamina potential, with most having average potential and a small number potentially reaching advanced or professional levels.

As for those further up, their numbers are pitifully small.

Therefore, high-quality bee bees are not actually that cheap.

When the prices are similar, almost no one would choose to raise Beedrill, since Beedrill's combat power is really limited at the same level.

With that money, wouldn't it be better to buy a house bird?

Pidgeot, Swellow, and Starhawk are all more powerful and practical than Beedrill!

..............................

On a platform with higher elevation on the riverbank.

"This Beedrill's damage is weird..."

Holding a telescope, Lü Shouchun looked at the little lone bird flying by the river and murmured something softly.

Originally, she wanted to secretly observe her beloved apprentice, but she unexpectedly witnessed her "secret rendezvous" with her lover.

She naturally had no intention of interfering in her apprentice's love life.

High school students are at the age when their hormones are at their peak, so it's normal for them to want to date, as long as it doesn't interfere with their studies.

But when she saw that Mu Yun only took a few steps back before regaining his balance after being "pounced" by Chi Duoduo, she couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

She knew her disciple's strength all too well. Even if she didn't go all out, most people would be lucky to break a bone if they faced her attack.

Clearly, his own apprentice's lover was also very strong.

That makes sense; if one weren't physically strong, how could one dare to hug and cuddle with their own disciple?

If it weren't for Chi Duoduo, this precious gem, she might have even considered taking on a disciple.

But, you can't bite off more than you can chew!

Right now, all she wants to do is nurture Chi Duoduo so that she can inherit her mantle and win the martial arts championship that she herself never won.

If Mu Yun's physique only surprised her slightly, then the combat power displayed by Mu Yun's giant bee truly amazed her.

As a seasoned Elite Four member, she has probably seen more Beedrill than many other Pokémon, including some that have reached Elite Four level.

Even Beedrill, a Champion-level beedrill, is considered to be of lower-middle strength among its peers.

In terms of Bug-type, it can't compare to Heracross and Scyther; in terms of Poison-type, it can't compare to Venusaur or Drapion.

These are innate factors beyond our control; they cannot be changed simply because you are highly qualified.

And now, this Beedrill has actually defeated Gyarados in one move!

It's hard to imagine that a senior high school student in a small city could raise such a beedrill.

Even in the Southwest region, which has the most Bug-type trainers, it would be difficult to find a Beedrill of this strength, let alone in an ordinary small northeastern city like Matsue City.

"He doesn't look like a gifted individual..."

Lu Shouchun had some doubts.

She has seen many gifted individuals, and as a gifted individual herself who was born with an awakened talent, she is most knowledgeable about how gifted individuals use their abilities.

But just now, Mu Yun clearly didn't seem to have used the amplification of Bug-type Pokémon talents.

"Could it be some kind of innate talent that only takes effect when training Pokémon...?"

Lü Shouchun fell into deep thought.
