Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

No one could have predicted that Xia Yan would summon Beedrill, a Pokémon whose type is completely suppressed by Charizard.

Many people expressed their incomprehension of Xia Yan's choice.

But when he saw Beedrill's forehead, he laughed.

No one understood better than him what Beedrill represented to Xia Yan, and no one knew that when he and Xia Yan first met, Wataru was interested in Beedrill when it was still a Weedle.

No one would know that Charizard and Beedrill had long wanted to fight.

Clearly, Charizard's enthusiasm surged again after seeing Beedrill appear, with flames shooting upwards from its tail.

"Hiss!"

When Beedrill saw Lance's Charizard, its crimson compound eyes gleamed with fighting spirit, and the wispy electrical currents on its wings became even denser.

When it was in Weedle, Beedrill remembered Lance's Charizard very well.

At that time, Charizard was still an object of its awe.

At that time, the fire-breathing dragon was something it envied.

At that time, Charizard was an opponent it could not reach.

But now, they are on the same stage.

No need for many words; romance between men should be about physical intimacy and camaraderie.

"Charizard, breathe fire!"

Facing Beedrill, whose type advantage was weak to it, Charizard dared not underestimate it in the slightest. It focused its entire body, unleashing a raging inferno that rushed towards it.

hum-

The bee did not choose to take the attack head-on, as such an attack would be too harmful to it.

With each flap of its wings, Beedrill's speed increased, and wisps of white air swirled around its body.

Tailwind + high-speed movement!

At an extremely tricky angle, it grazed the oncoming flames and attacked the fire-breathing dragon.

It was very familiar with Pokémon like Charizard.

When Xia Yan trains Charizard, one of the targets that often appears when he enhances the "Sniper" ability is Charizard.

So at this moment, it has locked onto Charizard's weakness in its sights!

With another flap of its wings, the long-absent "leader's aura" once again surged from Beedrill's body.

With each use, Beedrill becomes increasingly adept at using "Leader's Scent".

hum-

With a sudden swipe of its wings, it closed in on the fire-breathing dragon.

"Perfect timing! Charizard, Heat Wave!"

The fire-breathing dragon's wings flapped rapidly, and unbearable heat spread out from its body, making the entire arena swelter with its movements.

However, people were oblivious and just kept shouting.

This duel was a classic example of brothers breaking up.

Then I saw it.

Beedrill came to an abrupt halt, and the airflow around it, driven by it, blocked Charizard's "hot wind," forming its own small airflow.

Counterattack Shield!

Charizard was briefly taken aback by this move.

But this is the opportunity that Beedrill has been waiting for!

A professional assassin would never let such a fleeting opportunity slip by.

Approaching rapidly.

Beedrill's attack is... Malicious Pursuit!

Boom!

The long needles shot out, striking the weak point on the Charizard's abdomen.

But Beedrill's attacks don't stop there.

This is one direction Xia Yan will take in training Beedrill's combination moves: random attacks + malicious pursuit!

While highly focused, Beedrill failed to combine the two moves, but managed to achieve a "double strike" effect with "Pursuit".

After all, it has two guns!

Boom!

The effect of malicious pursuit is that when the enemy is damaged, the power of the second attack will be doubled.

"Roar--!!"

The Charizard cried out in pain.

It wasn't just because of the second "malicious pursuit," but also because it hit a vital spot.

Sniper traits triggered!

That was incredibly damaging!

But Charizard lived up to its reputation as Lance's Charizard. It reacted immediately after taking the first hit, and although the second hit hurt, it still endured the pain and adopted a move.

Bear!!

Enveloped in crimson-gold flames, it grabbed the Beedrill, which was unable to dodge due to its "greedy" attack on its abdomen, and slammed it down onto the ground.

Lance's Charizard combo moves, Flare Blitz + Seismic Toss!

This shot was absolutely lethal!

boom!!!

Today's battlefield is under immense pressure that it should not have to bear.

ka ka ka-

Layer upon layer of cracks, densely covered with fissures.

but.

Xia Yan, however, showed no intention of stopping his command.

In this situation, has Beedrill not lost its ability to fight?

The answer is yes.

No.

Boxie's "wish" once again played a crucial role, allowing Beedrill to successfully conserve its last bit of strength.

While Beedrill looks disheveled, is Charizard doing any better?

During the battle against Togekiss, it took two "Air Slashes", then two "Pursuit" attacks from Beedrill. The second attack triggered the additional effects of "Pursuit" and the "Sniper" ability. Finally, it was hit by "Flare Charge" to reflect damage.

Charizard, too, was on the verge of exhaustion.

Is it time to fight to the last man?

No one could have predicted that Beedrill could fight Charizard to such an extent.

Only crossing.

They did not underestimate Xia Yan's Beedrill strength in the slightest.

Da Ye should understand this deeply.

and so.

"Charizard, overheat!"

Overheat is a Fire-type move with a power of 130, but its drawback is that it greatly reduces the user's Special Attack after use.

This was Charizard's final burst of power.

Because Lance didn't want to see Beedrill actually use "Deadly Sting" to kill Dragonite and then go to see Dragonite.

but.

Xia Yan never intended for Beedrill to fight Dragonite; his choice was...

Straight-through drill!

At this moment, the Charizard is on the ground!

boom!!!

This is a raging fire, a battle against stubborn insects.

This scene is reminiscent of moths drawn to a flame.

This was the last act of defiance from the two spirits!

They both fell to the ground.

This battle was far more brutal than the audience had imagined.

And then...

Lance, who possesses a pseudo-legendary Dragonite, seems to have a significant advantage.

But Xia Yan showed no sign of giving up, holding Alakazam's Poké Ball and continuously channeling psychic power into it.

Why did he choose to reveal his superpowers?

One of the most important reasons.

His psychic powers combined with Alakazam's psychic powers might actually give him a chance to face Lance's Dragonite.

This was his last trump card, without revealing his Mega Evolution.

Honestly, even if Beedrill Mega Evolve, it might not perform as well as before.

In the previous battle, the "Sniper" trait was clearly a better fit than the "Adaptability" trait.
