Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

hum-

hum-

The two bee-like wasps moved almost simultaneously.

Xia Yan's Beedrill was even faster. Its yellowish long stinger shot straight at his chest from the side, but the opponent's long stinger swept past his chest from bottom to top, deflecting the attack. He tilted his head to avoid the follow-up attack, and another long stinger wrapped in white light shot out like lightning, leaving many afterimages.

Clang, clang, clang—

Four attacks. Xia Yan's Beedrill blocked one attack, but the other three stings all pierced through the leader's aura and hit its chest and abdomen.

Bang! !

The Beedrill slammed heavily against the tree trunk, and the electric current on its wings scattered in all directions from the impact.

Thud!

Xia Yan's giant bee tilted its head to avoid the opponent's pursuit, swept its long stinger to create space, and flapped its wings to fly away.

Huhu——

His chest heaved, and he exhaled heavily.

Ultimately, there was still a difference in strength. Even though the electric current increased the speed and the leader's aura suppressed the opponent and strengthened himself.

After the "Insect Premonition" is triggered, even a single attack is enough to overwhelm Beedrill.

Moreover, the continuous attacks had also depleted its stamina.

Now, it's at a disadvantage.

Suddenly.

A sharp blade slashed across the distance and appeared beside Beedrill.

It was hit without its anticipation.

The bee crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of fallen leaves and dust.

"呲呲-"

The cross-bats not far away looked smug.

With the combined efforts of Alakazam and Togekiss, it actually withstood one of Alakazam's attacks and threw an "Air Slash," which dealt an even greater and more devastating blow to the already weakened Beedrill.

The person standing under the shade of the trees opposite had a cold glint in their eyes.

Without a doubt, this was her idea.

A single hit to Crobat won't affect the battle, but Xia Yan's Beedrill has dragged on for too long.

She needed to break the deadlock, and Xia Yan's Beedrill was the simplest and easiest to deal with.

"Whoosh!"

"Chocolate!"

This situation clearly angered both Alakazam and Togekiss.

They are also preparing to forcefully exchange with the cross bats, regardless of their own damage!

The Beedrill had tried so hard, but they were the ones who dragged the team down. This made the two Pokémon feel more upset than they felt physically.

"Calm down! Stay calm and don't fall for their trap!"

But Xia Yan's voice boomed in their minds like a thunderclap, forcefully stopping the two elves from their actions.

He glanced at the unmoved figure opposite him.

Beedrill is the first choice to break the deadlock. That's what the other side thinks, and that's exactly what he thinks too.

However, if Alakazam and Togekiss were to risk injury for injury, that would also be a good option.

"Hiss... Beep!"

Then Beedrill, supporting itself with its two stingers, staggered as it got up from the ground and stood up under the disdainful gaze of the equally scarlet eyes opposite it.

Covered in wounds.

The electrical current on the wings had also dimmed considerably.

But the light in Beedrill's eyes had never been so bright.

Looking at Beedrill's appearance, Xia Yan's hand, which had already reached into his pocket, suddenly paused.

“Beedrill…” Xia Yan called out softly.

The sound was very soft.

But the Beedrill seemed to have heard it.

He turned to Xia Yan and nodded heavily.

"call--"

Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief, understanding its meaning.

"Do you think this is an opportunity...?" Xia Yan muttered to himself.

The hand reached out again, but this time it was a "Radiant Stone," which it threw directly at Beedrill.

At the same time, drink loudly.

"Then let's give it a try!"

The Beedrill took flight again.

His body came into contact with the "Radiant Stone" thrown by Xia Yan.

Boom! !

"Hiss?"

The Beedrill opposite them looked on in surprise.

I wonder if it's just its eyes playing tricks on it.

It actually spotted Xia Yan's Beedrill...

Have you grown taller?

sizzle-

Electricity crackled on the wings again, the leader's aura became even more solid, and it continued to surge and swell.

Along with it, there was also the scent of Beedrill!

It began to fluctuate violently.

It will be the museum owner level in a while.

In a moment, it will be... a near-Heavenly King level!

This scene seemed familiar to the other side's Beedrill.

Didn't it go through the same thing back then?

Yourself.

I've actually become their testing ground?!

It's unacceptable!

The anger in his heart transformed into the strength in his body, carrying with it rage and a little bit of inexplicable fear that he couldn't even explain.

If Beedrill, which already had a strong presence over it, were to reach the level of a near-Elite Four member, would it still be a match for it?

"Hiss—!"

This time.

Xia Yan's Beedrill no longer relies on speed to dodge, but instead uses speed to generate momentum.

Two golden figures, in the blink of an eye, collided like shooting stars, creating the most dazzling sparks.

Boom! !

A dull sound, ripples spreading outwards, swaying branches, and floating leaves.

At this moment, in their eyes, there seemed to be only each other in the dense forest.

But the other Beedrill's eyes were filled with disbelief.

why? !

Even with my "insect premonition" triggered, why am I still evenly matched with a Giant Beedrill, a Pavilion Master-level creature?

Museum owner level?

"Hiss!"

Then Xia Yan's Beedrill smiled.

laugh?

Yes.

Because it is now...

Near-King level!

however.

This is just the beginning.

Xia Yan finally took out the thing he had wanted to use before.

There's no need to worry anymore.

This battle.

Either Xia Yan dies, or the other side dies.

There is no third possibility.

That being the case.

What else should be kept?
