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

"Hiss!!"

Without the rock ball obstructing its path, Little Du flew even faster, quickly crossing the halfway point and arriving near Onix.

"Don't rush, Yan Da, wait for him to get closer!" Wu Tu called out at the right moment.

Knowing how tough his Onix was, he naturally didn't care about being hit a couple of times by Beedrill.

As long as you find the right opportunity and tie it tightly, any number of blows you take will be worth it.

And so, under the watchful eyes of Wu Tu and Onix, Xiao Du arrived in front of Onix.

Almost instantly upon getting close, Xiao Du brandished his pair of silver-white needles with an iron-like luster.

Clang clang clang!!

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

[Ding! Beedrill used Wild Attack in actual battle, skill level +2!]

[Ding! Beedrill used Wild Attack in actual battle, skill level +2!]

[Ding! Beedrill...]

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

As the barrage of attacks continued to rain down on the Giant Onix, Mu Yun's mind was filled with notifications that his proficiency level was increasing.

Unfortunately, without the enhancement of hardening, the rate of skill improvement is not exaggerated, only five times the normal rate.

"Iwata, now! Tighten the straps!"

Seeing Beedrill attacking Onix with impunity, Wu Tu immediately shouted.

"roar!!"

The giant onyx roared and began to twist its massive body, preparing to bind the "little bug" whose eyes were darting around.

Unfortunately, Little Du was incredibly fast during his flurry of attacks, and even though Onix managed to find the gap after Little Du finished his fifth flurry of attacks, it still couldn't bind him.

"Damn it, that Beedrill reacted so quickly!"

Seeing that the giant onix had failed, Wu Tu muttered angrily, then immediately shouted, "Big Rock, use a rock to polish it!"

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

[Rock Polishing: Polishing one's own body reduces air resistance in a short period of time, thereby significantly increasing speed.]

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

"roar!!"

The giant onix let out another deafening roar, venting its anger at being toyed with by the little bug, while streams of rock-type energy began to gradually spread from its head throughout its body.

The uneven cracks were temporarily filled.

This is how it performs when used for rock polishing.

"Little Du, keep going, unleash a barrage of attacks!"

Mu Yun naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch the Great Rock Serpent gain more power, so he immediately shouted before Wu Tu had even finished speaking.

"Hiss!!"

The little independent creature lunged forward, circling around the giant onix while relentlessly striking its body with a flurry of attacks.

The enormous body, comparable to a small mountain, rang out with muffled clangs as it was bombarded by the hardened silver needles a second time.

Although the damage effect was not obvious, it successfully disrupted Onix's Rock Polishing state.

It wasn't until Xiaodu unleashed four flurry of attacks, dealing twenty instances of damage, that Onix finally managed to complete the body-refining process.

Even though Onix's defense was far superior to that of the Tsuchii ninja, the relentless barrage of attacks still took its toll on him.

The once incredibly powerful Onix was now panting heavily, and one of its eyes was even squinting slightly, a sign that it had exhausted more than half of its strength.

"Alright, the rock is polished. Let's see how you dodge this time!" Seeing Onix's condition rapidly deteriorating, Wu Tu was extremely anxious, but fortunately, he finally succeeded in using it.

He immediately shouted, "Well done, Yan Da! Go over there and tighten the ties!"

"roar!!"

With the help of the rocks polishing it, the Onix became much faster, and its originally huge body became strangely agile.

"Little Du, dodge and then continue your random attacks."

As the giant onix increased its speed, Mu Yun still shouted at a leisurely pace.

Given Onix's size, even if it were polished by rocks once, or even once more, it could at most match Little's speed in a straight line.

In terms of flexibility, it is probably comparable to Xiao Du in any way.

This is a difference in innate physique, which cannot be erased by one or two enhancement techniques.

If Wu Tu had used Harden + Round at the start, along with Rock Grinding and Rolling, he might have been able to hold out against Xiao Du for a while, but now, his defeat is inevitable!

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

[Curl into a Circle: A Normal-type move that curls the body into a circle, thereby increasing the user's defense.]

[Rollover: A Rock-type attack move that uses the user's body to roll and attack the opponent. The longer the roll lasts, the faster the roll speed. If the speed is too fast, there is a chance of the user becoming dizzy.]

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

As expected, just as Mu Yun predicted, even though the Onix's speed increased, its enormous size made it incredibly difficult for it to catch the agile Little Du.

"How could this be...?"

Wu Tu, standing on one side of the arena, was dumbfounded as he watched the Onix, which was being tossed around by Beedrill and was starting to get dizzy.

In the previous matches, Yan Da only needed to rush in and the game would be over.

How come I can't even beat a single Beedrill now?

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

Inside the preparation zone.

"Wow, Brother Yun's Beedrill is so agile! That Onix couldn't even touch its stinger!" Zhao Hailong's eyes widened, seemingly not expecting this situation to arise.

"What do you think? Brother Yun's Beedrill is really powerful!" Seeing that Onix's condition was getting worse and worse, Liu Jianhao immediately perked up.

"Come on, that's not what you just said." Zhao Hailong rolled his eyes at him and said disdainfully.

"Nonsense, I didn't say anything!" Liu Jianhao retorted.

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

School gymnasium, broadcasting room.

"That beetle is so agile!"

Principal Xu Defu said with some disbelief.

He didn't come to the morning's competition, so he naturally didn't know that Mu Yun's Beedrill was extremely fast and agile.

I was quite surprised to see it now.

If he remembered correctly, this student named Mu Yun was always first in his grade in academic exams. The Pokémon egg was also a result of Old Song using his connections to find the offspring of the pair of Beedrill with the best combat talent at the Beedrill breeding base.

He hadn't paid much attention at first, after all, how good could a Beedrill from the breeding base be, no matter how good its talent was?

At best, it has the potential to reach elite level, which is only somewhat useful in the early stages.

But now it seems that it was useful enough in the early stages.

If he can maintain this level, it shouldn't be difficult for him to achieve good results in the Pokémon battles in the college entrance examination.

This is worth paying close attention to.

"it's over......"

Wang He, standing next to Xu Defu, did not show any particular expression on his face.

Based on his previous observations, as long as this extremely fast Beedrill has enough stamina and doesn't make any obvious mistakes, it's only a matter of time before it defeats Onix.

What he was thinking about was how to guide the child in the following year.

Based on current observations, this child is calm and collected. Even when he has the advantage, he remains steady and methodical, using random attacks to wear down Onix's stamina. He is not greedy or reckless, and only attacks the middle part of Onix's body, where it is most difficult for Onix to react.

The only problem is that Beedrill's move pool is too shallow. Currently, it only has four moves: String Shot, Harden, Double Needle, and Wild Attack, which makes its attack range too narrow.

If he remembered correctly, Beedrill can also use a poison stinger.

However, considering that the Onix has four times the venom resistance, it's normal that he doesn't use it.

After all, training poison-type moves is troublesome, and many new trainers not only don't like to use them, but may not even train them at all. If you have the chance, you can persuade him to put in the effort in this area.

Although Poison-type trainers have a bad reputation, Wang He believes that power is not about good or evil. As long as the wielder is determined, any move that can be used is a good move!

Beedrill is inherently fragile, so if it had a decent poison-type move, it would be very useful in the future.

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

"Damn it, Onix used Dragon Breath!"

On the battlefield, Wu Tu still wanted to struggle a bit more.

Unfortunately, Onix had only recently learned Dragon Breath, and now, exhausted and unable to concentrate, it was unable to use it.

He had barely opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Xiao Du's continuous barrage of attacks.

Finally, after being repeatedly struck and pounded, Onix reluctantly closed its eyes.

"Onix is ​​unable to battle; Beedrill is the victor!"

Seeing that the giant onyx's eyes had turned into mosquito coil eyes, the referee immediately announced.

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

[Ding! Beedrill (12) defeated Onix (13). Permanent Quest 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level was detected to be higher than yours. Congratulations, host, your reward has been doubled! You have received 20 points!]

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

[Hardened (Perfect, 12/1000) → Hardened (Perfect, 16/1000)]

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

[Rampage (Perfect, 180/1000) → Rampage (Perfect, 280/1000)]

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

The proficiency in hardening increased by another four points, which is better than nothing.

The number of hits increased dramatically, but unfortunately Onix didn't use Harden, otherwise it could have at least doubled again.

No way! Such a great sparring partner, it would be a waste not to use him. I need to find a chance to... uh, no, I mean, find a chance to train with him and improve together!
