Good morning, noon and night, hello, trainer

Iselin suddenly raised her hand and pointed in the direction where the insect-catching boy appeared.

A giant Beedrill that is obviously different from the ordinary one, with scars on its abdomen, sharp needles and sharp eyes, is approaching quickly!

It's staring right here!

He came with a fighting spirit.

"Could it be that--" The insect-catching boy Shinichi suddenly got excited!

He obviously thought that this was Beedrill's approval of his action!

But when he was about to go forward with his partner Butterfree, he was missed head-on by Beedrill.

"Ah I?"

The Beedrill stopped in front of Iselin, raised its two needles towards her, and exuded fighting spirit towards her.

Lars looked at the Metagross that was happily eating under Iselin.

Could it be that the reason for choosing Iselin to challenge is because of Metagross?

After all, Metagross is indeed the highest level Pokémon among their group, except for Zapdos.

And the lightning bird...

When Zapdos saw this, he stopped eating for a moment and immediately came over to watch the fun!

-

Kanto Region: Chapter 50 Beedrill and Metagross?

"I won't fight! I'm not even a trainer, okay!"

Faced with Beedrill's invitation to fight, Iselin refused without hesitation.

The researchers had no intention of fighting at all.

But Beedrill ignored Iselin's refusal, and stopped there, ready to fight, and even provoked Metagross.

The situation froze for a moment.

"Come and fight me, Beedrill!"

"I'll make you recognize me!"

At this time, the insect catcher Shinichi took out the Poké Ball, and he was not at all affected by being ignored by Beedrill.

Seeing that Iselin did not agree to the battle request, he immediately took Iselin's place and challenged Beedrill.

"Om-"

Unexpectedly, Beedrill just glanced at Shinichi and then suddenly launched an attack!

The sharp needle suddenly rushed forward, blowing off the straw hat of the insect catcher Shinichi, and the needle in the other hand pierced him fiercely!

Then he threw the straw hat aside.

He no longer looked at Shinichi, his red compound eyes fixed firmly on Metagross, his determination to fight Metagross was visibly overflowing.

Lars rubbed his chin and picked up the straw hat that had been thrown aside.

Beedrill attacked the Straw Hat very hard.

There are two holes in the straw hat, one in front and one in the back. The straw fibers of the seemingly intact part are also cut in half. It is basically better to buy a new one than to repair it.

This attitude is obviously problematic.

"Is there any difference between Metagross and our other Pokémon?" Lars asked Ali.

Yali was stunned and pointed at herself.

It wasn't until Lars nodded that he confirmed that it was her he was asking.

"Looks very strong?"

Apart from Zapdos and Metagross, Lucario is the only one who seems to be stronger.

The rest of Charmeleon, Haunter, Chansey, and Vampire are basically a half-baby lineup, and they do not look very strong.

"Meow~?" Xinye Meow made a puzzled sound.

Because Lars's eyes were not on it.

Not to mention this one, the baby is not even a month old, a real baby level.

Rubbing Meowth's little head, Las looked at Beedrill and Iselin who were still in a stalemate.

"How about I take charge? This matter won't end without a fight."

He casually put the straw hat back on Shinichi's head. Beedrill really cared about this straw hat. Las could clearly feel the gaze from Beedrill.

Is there any story behind this?

"Megalopolis and I have some chemistry."

Metagross agreed.

Although that tacit understanding was used by Deep Gray City to bully Xiaogang.

"That's fine."

Iselin had no objection.

Beedrill...it flew to an open space on its own initiative and had no objection.

"Shinichi, it seems to be obsessed with the Straw Hat, and it doesn't look like a wild Pokémon."

Lars also briefly told the insect catcher about his discovery.

The Beedrill's level doesn't seem to be low. It is strong and powerful, and the scars on its body are proof of its battle experience.

But that long and narrow scar, which runs through Beedrill's entire abdomen, doesn't seem like something a Pokémon from the Viridian Forest could create.

There are no colonies of Scythers in Viridian Forest.

"Perhaps it was abandoned by a trainer who once loved this bug Pokémon."

I've been challenging trainers all the way from Viridian Forest.

It was abandoned because it wasn't strong enough.

Russ guessed so.

"Come on, Yali, be the referee."

However, speculation is just speculation. It would be safer to test it to see if it is true.

So Las called Yali and asked her to work.

"...Am I your referee?"

Yali complained a bit, but still ran to the center of the field obediently, took out a white and a red flag and a whistle from her backpack.

Okay, standard referee suit.

"Red side's Beedrill, Blue side's Metagross. The rules are one-on-one, no special restrictions, until one side falls."

"is that OK."

Beedrill nodded in agreement, appearing to be very comfortable with this pattern.

On the contrary, the Metagross, which had hardly ever fought before, was still a little out of shape. It took Las's reminder for it to reluctantly get into combat mode.

After all, the master is not a Pokémon trainer.

Normally, when the referee reads out the rules, you should get into the state and be ready to start the fight at any time.

The guess was correct, Beedrill was indeed once a Pokémon of a trainer.

"The battle begins!"

Especially after Ali's declaration, Beedrill's immediate use of the Qi Gathering move was particularly obvious.

Critical hit status is increased by 2 levels.

That is to increase the probability of hitting the vital point to 50%.

Beedrill chose this enhanced move obviously to trigger the sniper characteristic.

Wild Pokémon rarely have this awareness; only Pokémon that have been intentionally trained by trainers will behave in this way.

"Megalodon, use your telekinesis to catch it."

"Om-"

When Las gave the order, before Metagross could react, Beedrill moved first.

It flapped its wings rapidly, flying up and down in the open space in irregular motions, and special effects indicating its enhanced abilities lit up on its body.

Move at high speed.

Metagross's telekinesis was slow to realize the situation and it was completely unable to lock onto Beedrill, so it couldn't catch it at all.

Unlike Onix that fought against Gon, this Beedrill is not an opponent that can be easily defeated simply by relying on level suppression.

Recall the skills of Metagross that Iselin had told him about.

emmmmm...

"Metalloquin, use Horrible Face."

I can only say that because I am a scientific researcher, I have never considered fighting. The Metagross that I grew up with has never given me a skill machine, so I basically only have a basic skill list.

Las could only try his best to see if he could catch the Beedrill.

Although it is suppressed in terms of combat proficiency, it is still Metagross after all. How can I say numerical suppression? It is numerical suppression.

But Beedrill also knows this.

As a bug Pokémon that has been through countless battles, how could it be that it doesn't know this?

The moment Las gave the order, the spikes of its forelimbs suddenly stabbed into the ground, flapped its wings and rotated its body 180 degrees, using the spikes to draw a cloud of dust to block the terrifying face skills of Metagross!

"Om-"

Then he immediately emerged from the smoke and dust, and attacked the giant golden monster from the side. His double needles lit up with white light, crossing horizontally and vertically!

Cross scissors!

Without even considering the outcome, it would quickly break away after hitting the target, maintaining irregular movement in the air.

Very strong, very aware of his weaknesses, and good at using his strengths.

But how should I put it, sometimes the difference in numbers is very cruel.

Beedrill's operation was very cool. He completely played with Metagross and successfully dealt damage.

It's just this hurt...

"Huge gold!"

Metagross shook his head, not feeling much.

No vital hits were made.

That is 90 physical attack against 130 physical defense.

Even if you get hit by Beedrill's 80-power cross shears, the loss of your stamina won't be a big deal.

Such is the charm of late-blooming Pokémon.

Numbers!

That's why he's called a quasi-god!

"Megalodon, let's take it slow. We still have plenty of chances."

The Bug attribute restrains the Psychic attribute, but it doesn't matter. The Steel attribute resists the Bug attribute and is immune to the Poison attribute.

There are also opportunities for trial and error and failure.

"Keep using your telekinesis and catch it!"

"Huge gold!"

Metagross's eyes lit up, and invisible telekinesis forced Beedrill to dodge left and right.
