He knows Pokémon better than me.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were filled with a dense swarm of green glowing bees, each one shimmering with light and ready to explode at any moment.

However, the insect attribute is resisted by too many attributes.

"The attack command is a physical attack move."

Ash quickly reminded him that Vermouth was his friend's Pokémon from Sinnoh, and they knew each other very well, before looking at Cinderace:
"Flash Ace, use Charged Flame Strike!"

The latter understood, and its entire body instantly burst into blazing flames, not only reverting to the fire attribute but also being covered with a layer of flames that could effectively resist insect-type moves.

Mary understood immediately and spoke up:
"Slay the commander with Iron Wall!"

Commander Pi Zhan immediately clasped his arms together, crossed them into a cross, and his entire body was enveloped in a layer of metallic silver light.

The next second, a special version of the Dynamax Bug exploded on the two Pokémon, with frequent loud explosions and a surge of intense energy.

However, the results were only so-so.

As the smoke cleared, both Commander Slash and Ace of Flames stood firmly in place, having withstood the attack.

call out.!
Of course, both sides were illuminated by a weakening blue light, and their special attack was reduced due to the Dynamax Guts.

However, neither of the two Pokémon relied on special attacks to win, so it wasn't very meaningful.

"It's our turn, Cinderace! Fireball!"

"Slay the commander, seal him with rocks!"

Without any hesitation, Flame Ace bounced the Flame Stone on its foot several times before kicking it out, causing a fiery explosion directly on the Queen Bee's chest!
Outstanding effect!

The cleaving commander raised both hands, conjuring countless rocks that fell, causing terrifying four times the damage.

This Queen Bee is definitely not weak, but it is too disadvantaged in terms of attributes and is completely countered by Flame Ace and Slash Commander.

"Hehehe—!!"

The queen bee, in pain and anger, looked up at the sky and let out a loud cry, creating a gray-green sonic boom that swept across the entire area.

This time it's a normal move, Insect Chirp!

The effect was mediocre; it caused some damage to the two Pokémon, but the piercing, sharp sound couldn't restrict their movements.

"Mary, lend a hand!"

"Slay the Commander!"

The two exchanged a glance, showing remarkable tacit understanding. Flame Ace charged towards Slash Commander, then stepped onto the latter's bladed arms, using the momentum to leap into the air.

With the added force of the Slashing Commander's throw, Flame Ace leaped to a position even higher than the Queen Bee.

"Now! Shoot it down!"

Flame Ace's right foot gleamed with a brownish-gray sheen, and it kicked the Queen Bee in a hook-like motion, slamming down hard on her head.

Clang!
With a muffled thud, the Queen Bee's body suddenly plummeted and crashed heavily to the ground.

The effect is remarkable!

For a time, no matter how frequently it flapped its wings, it could not take off and could only struggle awkwardly on the ground.

"Let's try again, seal it with rocks!"

Mary didn't let the opportunity slip by either, directing the Slashing Commander to condense rocks once more, which then crashed down.

In just a few rounds, the Queen Bee was knocked out of the white light barrier, proving that her stamina had dropped to 1/3.

"Insect-type enemies are easier to deal with."

Mary couldn't help but sigh.

With other Dynamax Pokémon, it would take some effort, but with Vespiquen, it's easy to challenge higher-level Pokémon with simple type advantages.

bass--!
At this moment, both of their Max Rapiers lit up, indicating that Max Power had been fully charged. Ash raised his hand, giving Marnie an encouraging look, signaling that she could do as she pleased.

After all, it was Mary's test mission.

The latter's face lit up with joy, and he immediately recalled Bisharp Commander, pointing it at his Max Bracer. In an instant, the Poké Ball expanded and grew larger.

boom!
When it was released again, the Slashing Commander had already reached a height of more than 20 meters, and its massive bladed body was chilling.

"Slash the Commander, use the Giant Rock!"

The Dynamaxed Bisharp summoned a massive stone slab in front of it, and this time its power was far greater than the previous Rock Seal.

Unable to take off due to being "shot down," the Queen Bee released the Giant Insect Gu on the ground once more. Countless energy bees swarmed out of the hive, bypassing the stone slabs and rushing straight towards Commander Slash.

Both sides' attacks landed on each other at the same time, but the damage caused was on a completely different scale.

Rumble——!
Amidst the continuous explosions of the insect-like creatures, Commander Pi Zhan only staggered back a few steps; he was not seriously injured.

As for the Queen Bee, the white light barrier that had just appeared on her body shattered instantly, and she entered her final state of weakness.

Every now and then, they would be hit by fireballs kicked by Flame Ace, which were hidden behind the massive figure of the Slashing Commander.

"I should have sent out a ichthyosaur or an ankylosaur."

Ash thought to himself, "In this situation, using Cinderace would eliminate any suspense."

If we use those two Dragon-type Pokémon, we might be able to put up a good fight.

As for Mary, right now she just wants to finish this quickly so she can go see the Water Tower trial tomorrow.

If she has time, she'd like to try the trials of the Tower of Evil. Maybe some of her Dark-type Pokémon will be able to master the ultimate secrets of the Tower of Evil.

"Battle over! Commander, let's have another round, with Max Rock!"

Mary spoke without any mercy.

Commander Pi Zhan understood, and the massive rock slab solidified once more, then crashed down upon the Queen Bee.

Rumble——!
The stone slab landed on the latter, shattering and causing the entire Beehive Island to shake, with countless stone chips and dust flying everywhere.

"Flash Ace, Fireball. Never mind."

Ash was thinking of adding another kick, but seeing the Queen Bee's disheveled appearance, he stopped.

It seems the outcome is already decided.

Soon after, as the smoke and dust cleared, the Queen Bee lay on the ground, her enormous body shrinking back to its original size.

However, even in its normal state, this queen bee is about two meters tall, which is about half again as tall as an ordinary individual.
After the Dynamax Raid ended, Bisharp still had one turn left, but its size shrank back to normal.

call out.!

The surrounding edge light curtain slowly dissipated, the pink and purple filter light faded, and Beehive Island returned to its normal state as a small island at sea.

"All done!"

Mary breathed a sigh of relief. If she had the information and could control herself, the last test wouldn't actually be that difficult.

Especially when several people from a martial arts school team up, they are quite easy to deal with.

So next, her mission objective is to obtain something called Max Sweet.
Mary looked at the fallen queen bee, thought for a moment, and then stepped forward to take out the full recovery medicine to treat her first.

"Mageyana, come out and help! Use flower therapy!"

Ash also sent out his mechanical healer, who unleashed a Flower Therapy on the Queen Bee.

With a two-pronged approach, the Queen Bee slowly opened her red eyes.
Speaking of which, Ash has another question he'd like to ask this queen bee. (End of Chapter)
