Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

'Om—'

The giant bee suddenly emerged from behind the armored warrior.

Logically speaking, as the more attribute energy a Pokémon accumulates, the stronger its physical attributes become, and its body will grow larger and larger, just like the ancient Pokémon.

But this giant bee from Ruozong is different.

Ordinary bees are about a meter tall, and are terrifyingly large bees, but Wakamune's bees are less than thirty centimeters tall, extremely small!

Even so, it's still champion-level!

It was even the starter Pokémon of the Wakamichi clan, and if we don't count exceptions like Orpheus and Mewtwo X, it was the Wakamichi clan's trump card!

With such terrifying power compressed to this extent, its sturdiness has long surpassed the limits of a Pokémon like Beedrill!

In a sense, it is also a different species!

If you don't meet Wakamune, you're basically an alien species that no one will notice!

Snapped--

The sound of it breaking through the air was like a bullet firing; hardening and high-speed movement had been repeatedly used on itself even when it was hiding itself.

It struck the weak point that would only appear for a moment due to the sudden attack, with a speed beyond what the naked eye could perceive.

If it manages to penetrate this defense—then it will resort to brute force against Rocco!

Because of its own abnormal condition, its stamina is even lower than that of a typical Gym Leader-level Beedrill.

Therefore, if this brute force hits, it should theoretically have a fairly effective impact.

If the dark hero before them were truly just an individual, then such an attack should have been successful, but unfortunately, Roco was never alone.

'Well!'

Hold on!

Victini's Protector blocked Beedrill, and Ditto's Protector was focused on defending that one point!

Snapped!

Beedrill crashed into the tiny but sturdy Guardian, and even if it unleashed its ultimate move to shatter it now, it would have missed its chance to exploit the opening.

Upon seeing this, Beedrill's first reaction was to retreat!

For a Pokémon like Beedrill, attacking its opponent with a poison sting and then quickly flying away is a move that's worthy of being recorded in its Pokédex.

Although this Beedrill is completely non-venomous due to its own characteristics and cannot use any poison-attribute moves, its stamina and size make it unsuitable for engaging in prolonged combat with enemies. As a result, it will only use such tactics better and more extremely!

But... it's too late!

Victini, Ditto, is holding up the Protect ability. If they can break through the two layers of Focus and Normal, they may have to face Necrozma's Protect ability!

This has nothing to do with Luo Ke.

So while he was suppressing the armored warrior, his eyes, hidden behind his mask, were locking onto the four elves that were rushing toward him.

Instead of staying away after feeling my intimidation, they moved closer to me...

With this thought in mind, after all four of them crawled out, Luo Ke clenched his right fist tightly.

This time he did not draw the Fairy King's sword.

This time, his hands were filled with elemental energy!

When he was in Sky Harbor, he told Necrozma that if he wanted to, there was no martial arts move he couldn't learn, given his physical attributes and control over his strength.

And that was far from his limit.

So after he developed the idea of ​​becoming stronger, he quickly developed his own understanding of the moves!

Well, among the special moves I acquired during the tournament, Flash of Lightning uses the entire body to accelerate forward, while Bullet Punch makes full use of the arms.

Logically speaking, the body parts mobilized in a lightning flash include the arms, and the high-speed punch from the arms also requires the body to maintain a stable standing posture.

But... I don't need it!

Speed ​​can be generated solely by the torso, and high-speed punches can be achieved simply by using the upper arm for stability. Therefore, if we could use the torso to propel the stable upper arm, controlling this thrust to make the already high-speed punch even faster and stronger—

Extremely fast bullet punch!

Snapped!

As Rocco made his move, he stepped forward with his front foot, twisted his waist, and threw the armored warrior toward Beedrill and the other two with tremendous force—then his right fist exploded!

Tearing through the air, piercing through the wind ring, the high-speed punches, denser than raindrops and more terrifying than machine gun fire, instantly formed a fist barrier powerful enough to engulf the four of them.

The armored warrior's ability to evade danger was too great for it to escape from Rocco's grasp before it lost its fighting ability.

No matter how much Scizor resisted Normal and Steel-type moves, it couldn't stop Rocco's power.

Even the armored warriors, Scizor and Blastoise, had just used their ultimate moves, so the three of them didn't even have time to use Protect.

The Vulcan moth and Eulop were too far apart, and the energy transfer also required a process, so Rocco's Extreme Speed ​​Bullet Punch surpassed that speed!

So the ending seems to be predetermined.

In a single exchange, without Mewtwo fusing in, and without even drawing his sword, Rocco was about to achieve a quadra kill!

This is the immense terror one must face when facing the Dark Hero!

......

67. But he said I was strong.

'Om—'

Because Beedrill was prepared to retreat immediately if its attack failed, it had some time to react to Rocco's Rapid Bullet Punch.

But this reaction time is definitely not a good thing.

It saw no way out from the punch that Rocco was throwing; all possibilities within its sight were torn apart and scattered in that storm of punches.

It even made it recall things from long ago in a daze.

'Hey, if you want to catch a starter Pokémon, don't go after that guy—although this is my first time seeing one too, there's no doubt it's the weakest Pokémon in the world.'

At that time, Ruozong and Landau stood in front of it when it was still a unicorn beetle.

This is also Landau's evaluation of it.

Was Landau wrong?

No...

At the time, it was an elf, but it was even smaller than a regular caterpillar. In addition, it was not poisonous. Because of its weak body, it didn't have the strength to spin silk. So, if it really fought, even a large caterpillar could probably make it lose its fighting ability.

A Pokémon like Magikarp can knock it unconscious with just a few jumps.

So Randy said it's the weakest in the world... well, that's true.

Even though it knew all of this was true, it was still angry and unwilling at the time, and it still raised its horn and stabbed Ruozong's outstretched finger.

Even though it couldn't pierce Ruozong's skin at that time, it still tried its best.

Faced with this, Ruozong smiled.

'No, Randall, I don't think this little guy is weak—despite having such a physique, it has never given up fighting for a moment... It's strong!'

'So, you strong one, you must become my starter spirit, and then come with me to the top of the world to see the scenery there~'

That was the first time it received recognition.

That was the first time it had received an invitation.

At that moment, it made up its mind that even if the man in front of it was just deceiving it and playing with it, it would never refuse!

But Ruozong didn't lie to it.

Its smaller size compared to its peers compressed its physical abilities and attribute strength, which allowed it to gain far superior defense, speed, and strength after breaking through time and time again!

so...

It will not despair!

It was just an insect, so it was perfectly normal for it to encounter something far stronger than itself.

But—that man said I was strong!

He found me the most suitable path, the best space to develop my talents, a place to belong, and allowed me to experience things I could never have dreamed of...

Even if I'm an insect, I'll still strive to be strong... to do what an ace should do!

'Om! '

The tiny insect, with only a brief reaction time—the Beedrill made no move to back down, but instead charged towards Rocco's fist like a bullet!

Hold on!

It is the only one of these four Pokémon that has never used a move before, so it can still use moves now.

It will do everything it can!

Snapped!

The defenses erected by the champion-level Pokémon were shattered by Roco's casual punch; this is the power of the Dark Hero!

After the shield shattered, Beedrill charged at it with all its might in that instant!

but...

Bugs are bugs.

Its actions, combined with its defense, failed to buy even half a second of time.

Its companions still couldn't use any moves in this short time, and even with the support from Orpheus and Volcarona, they still wouldn't be able to arrive in time, but—that was enough!

Beedrill, along with Scizor and Razer Locust, are unlikely to escape this boxing ring.

However, the armored warrior has already triggered the danger avoidance feature!

The moment that Beedrill fought so hard for was creating an opportunity for its danger avoidance ability to be activated!

When all three of them were knocked away, the armored warrior, with his danger-avoidance ability, transformed into a streak of light and darted out through the only gap, flying towards Ruozong.

Beedrill captured this scene in its last moments of consciousness.

It did what an ace should do, and that's already good enough...

Wave missile!

The streak of light that flew out did not cause the slightest ripple in Luo Ke's eyes. With his free hand, he casually threw out a wave missile, which hit the streak of light that the armored warrior had transformed into with greater speed and force, shattering the force of the danger and causing the armored warrior to fall directly to the ground.

...It failed!

In the very end, Beedrill, filled with this sense of utter despair, completely lost consciousness.

Along with it were Scizor, Blastoise, and Goliathus.

Ruozong's main team, four out of six are gone!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Since Zong had a mental link, he was able to determine exactly what happened after Luo Ke received the armored warrior's attack.

But Nibiru and the employees of Z Company behind him saw their boss's four Pokémon fall in the blink of an eye, and the black-clad hero, under their gaze, lowered his fist, turned his head... and met their eyes!

This one glance made many employees of Company Z hold their breath.

They never expected things to turn out this way.

They used to have absolute confidence in Ruozong's strength, largely due to Ruozong's fighting style.

If we're talking about overall strength, excluding exceptions like Orpheus and Mewtwo X, Ruozong's Pokémon are actually about the same level as Jiangchuan's.

But you can tell from his style when he faced Rocco before.

His usual tactics have a strong suppressive effect.

In short... fast attack, fast attack, and more fast attack!

Various powerful preemptive strikes, issuing commands through mental links, and the organizational and execution capabilities that allowed them to unite in the blink of an eye when facing Luo Ke.

All of these elements combined, along with Pokémon like Beedrill and Locust that are extremely focused on speed and power, create a powerful combination.

So, defeating an opponent in an instant is nothing new for Ruozong.
