Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

He suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Xia Yan, saying seriously, "Mr. Xia Yan, I still stand by my own opinion."

Dia is a stubborn person; otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed here after everyone else in the Ultimate Ranger had left.

To change his thoughts and opinions, words alone are not enough.

However, he quickly provided a solution.

“Unless you, Mr. Xia Yan, can prove that you have the ability to judge him! Dia! And Zeraora, challenge you!” Dia said solemnly.

really.

Xia Yan rubbed his forehead slightly.

Ash noticed Zeraora's gaze, so how could he not have noticed?

What's meant to happen will happen.

But this is for the best.

This allows us to determine the primary and secondary relationships among the subsequent actions.

"Okay." Xia Yan accepted the challenge again.

soon.

The people standing on both sides of the battlefield changed from Ash and Xia Yan to Dia and Xia Yan.

Ash sat in the corner, holding Pikachu, watching the two with eager anticipation.

"This match is sure to be very interesting."

"Pikachu!!" Pikachu nodded repeatedly.

However, Pikachu was a little conflicted.

Zeraora is cool and is also an Electric-type Pokémon, but Xia Yan gave it a good feeling and even saved them.

Whom should we support?

Amid Pikachu's dilemma, the battle between Dia and Xia Yan begins.

Dia sent Zeraora, and Xia Yan, in accordance with Zeraora's wishes, sent Beedrill.

"Jera!"

Upon seeing Beedrill enter the battle, Zeraora's eyes began to crackle with intense blue electricity.

It bared its teeth and revealed a fierce look.

The Beedrill dared not underestimate them in the slightest, and held its breath in concentration.

"Zeraora, Quick Attack!" Dia launched the first attack.

The tactics were similar to Ash's opening.

But the meaning is completely different.

Zeraora is a Pokémon that excels at close-quarters combat, and quickly closing the distance with Beedrill will give it an advantage.

Furthermore, when they cooperated to fight against Guzzlord before, Dia and Zeraora had witnessed Beedrill's speed, which was a speed that should not be underestimated.

"Move at high speed, then create shadow clones." Xia Yan didn't use his superpowers to give commands, but instead followed their fighting style.

hum-

Its wings trembled, and fine electric currents surged in all directions.

A halo appeared on Beedrill's body, and its figure became blurred, with the blurry figures gradually solidifying.

A whole row of Beedrill appeared in front of Zeraora.

puff!

Zeraora, enveloped in white light and crackling with electricity, pierced through.

The phantom image shattered instantly.

It hit the clone.

However, Dia remained calm and said, "Zeraora, sense the direction of the current!"

Upon hearing this, Zeraora paused slightly, its blue eyes flashing with light as it saw Beedrill's trajectory amidst the surge of electricity.

next second.

"Zeraora, Plasma Lightning Fist!"

They immediately unleashed their ultimate attack.

Zeraora clasped his hands together, blue and gold electricity swirling wildly in his palms, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, and his blue fur radiating a halo of light.

This simple judgment alone reveals the difference between Dia and Ash.

Dia and Zeraora, who have been active in extremely dangerous environments for many years, have honed their battle experience through life-and-death struggles, which is very different from Ash's approach of focusing on Pokémon battles.

but.

do not forget.

Xia Yan and Beedrill were also forged in this kind of life-or-death ordeal!

As Zeraora charged forward, he suddenly discovered that all the electricity had vanished in an instant.

The Beedrill's flight path also disappeared.

"This control over energy..." Dia felt a slight tremor in her heart.

But there was no other way; the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released.

He immediately shouted, "If we can't find them, then destroy them all!"

"Jera!"

Zeraora understood.

With his fists held horizontally in front of his chest, he swiftly swept across the field, shattering all the shadows into nothingness under his raging lightning.

As the shadow decreases, the probability of locking onto a Beedrill increases.

however.

Maintaining the release of "Plasma Lightning Fist" is also a way to continuously deplete Zeraora's resources.

Perhaps it can hold out until it completely destroys the Beedrill's shadow.

But by then its attacks will be much weaker.

Moreover.

Xia Yan and Beedrill won't live to see that day.

"Now!"

Xia Yan squinted and spoke in a low voice.

The Beedrill, whose thoughts aligned with his, moved the instant his voice appeared.

In Zeraora's ears, he heard a harsh, tooth-grinding metallic scraping sound.

next second.

His eyes flashed with electricity again, and the wings of the giant bee, which had been poised to strike, suddenly emitted a large amount of fine electric current, which was enveloped by an invisible magnetic field.

Simultaneously.

A dark red, intimidating aura suddenly expanded.

"A domineering aura?!" Dia's expression immediately turned incredulous.

How could a dominant spirit retain its dominant aura after being captured?

"No! It's not just about the aura of a domineering ruler!"

Then a red light pierced through, and the compound eyes of the large, focused bee shone brightly.

A vibrant green energy enveloped the long needle as it charged towards Zeraora.

Ash, who was watching the battle, saw a voice suddenly appear in front of Zeraora, whose blue and yellow colors were intertwined.

Beedrill used one of its long stingers to pry open its somewhat exhausted fist, and then used the other stinger to pierce its wide-open chest.

Bang! ! !

In just a fleeting moment.

Zeraora was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground and sliding a distance.

Speed ​​was converted into power.

Moreover, the two sides were already moving at roughly the same speed.

After retreating slightly, the bee hovered in place, and you could see that there was a little bit of electricity wrapped around its retracted stinger.

This is the damage caused to Zeraora by releasing an electric current at the last moment.

Zeraora's combat awareness is absolutely outstanding.

However, compared to the attacks Zeraora endured, the counterattacks Beedrill received seemed rather insignificant.

"Sharpening" and "Gathering Energy" triggered Beedrill's "Sniper" ability, hitting Zeraora's vitals.

"Jera—"

Staggering slightly, Zeraora, who had been keeping one eye closed due to the pain, stood up again.

Arcs of electricity still crackled around his body.

But the wound on its chest made it painful to even breathe.

"Zeraora!" Dia couldn't help but shout.

"Zera!" Zeraora turned her head and nodded heavily to Dia.

Seeing that it intended to continue fighting, Dia forcibly suppressed his worries.

I took a deep breath.

"I understand."
