Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

However, it's at least an attack move, so it's better than nothing.

…………

Even in its sleep, Beedrill remains incredibly fast, but without its agile movements and awareness, it's nothing more than a reckless beast.

It picked up the still dangerous bee stinger and charged straight into the water cannon.

The immense impact became an obstacle for Mega Beedrill's advance. It was fortunate that it was a Champion-level Pokémon; otherwise, that single Water Cannon, which dealt 200% damage, would have been enough to overwhelm it.

But even for Champion-level Pokémon, the same applies—

It's true that Mega Beedrill possesses terrifyingly strong attack power and speed, but at the cost of extremely low durability and health.

If it's a Pokémon of the same level, such as Cynthia's Lucario or Aldera's Volcarona, a single brute force attack or Flamethrower would take away at least half of Beedrill's life, even if it's not severely injured.

Fortunately, Milotic doesn't have such powerful attack capabilities right now.

Breaking through numerous obstacles, the Beedrill, swimming against the current, finally reached Milotic and then unleashed that seemingly harmless yet deadly sting.

Milotic's injuries did not appear to be more serious; he remained in a state of "about to fall, but not yet fallen."

As for the giant bee... unfortunately, it is also in a state of "seemingly awake" but not actually awake.

"Again, talking in your sleep!"

Sakaki took another gamble.

The main reason is that they've already rushed up to Milotic, so it would be really unreasonable not to talk nonsense.

Beedrill's dormant body was awakened once again by the trainer's command, and in a daze, energy unconsciously gathered.

This time, the move I randomly got in my sleep is... Gathering Qi!

Even the usually composed Sakaki's face darkened. In this situation, what need was there for some nonsense about gathering energy to make the next move hit a vital point?

It's all the same whether you cut it or not!

But there's no way around it; if you could control how you use a move, it wouldn't be a pipe dream.

Just as Beedrill was rubbing its stinger, Milotic took the opportunity to unleash another water cannon attack.

wow-

The water surged rapidly and crashed against Beedrill's body without any suspense.

While causing it considerable damage, it also quietly awakened it.

…………

Beedrill suddenly opened its eyes, its scarlet pupils filled with uncontrollable rage.

The [Sleep] state is not actually falling asleep, but rather putting the sprite in a state where it knows it is dreaming, but cannot wake up.

Therefore, the spirit can experience everything that happens in reality in its dreams.

The humiliating hypnosis, followed by two water cannons, completely ignited Beedrill's fury.

Giovanni, who was in perfect harmony with the spirit, understood this perfectly, and he shouted, "Unleash your fury, Deadly Needle!"

"Speedy!"

The frenzied energy immediately flowed into the stinger, and the super-sized bee raised its twin spears, reflecting a deadly cold light, ready to stab.

As a final strike after gathering energy, this deadly sting is guaranteed to kill Milotic and greatly enhance Mega Beedrill's attack power!

Then, with Beedrill's extreme speed, it's not impossible for it to take down an entire team with a single shot.

However, Xia Chen's next move ended Beedrill's fantasy time.

A beam of red light shone from Xia Chen's direction, and Milotic's figure vanished instantly.

"Deadly Sting! Oops, it missed... Player Xia Chen deliberately recalled Milotic, it seems he doesn't want Mega Beedrill to get that kill and take off immediately..."

"But it's no big deal, Beedrill used Swords Dance! Although the effect is a little worse than the [kill bonus] of Deadly Sting, it's enough! Let's see which Pokémon replaces Milotic? Will it be our ace Pokémon, Sylveon?"

"Eh—Gardevoir! Is it really appropriate to let a Pokémon with such low physical defense face a Mega Beedrill with Swords Dance?"

Whether it was suitable or not, Xia Chen didn't know before the fight.

All he knew was that this was a great opportunity to train his Pokémon, and if possible, he even wanted all his Pokémon to experience the pressure of a Mega Beedrill.

Unfortunately, this is a competition, and we must give it our all and take it seriously.

Considering that Mega Sylveon is more versatile and has more battle experience than Mega Gardevoir, Xia Chen gave this trial opportunity to Gardevoir.

The keystone in his hand emitted a dazzling light, and Xia Chen took a deep breath.

"Mega Gardevoir, prepare for battle!"

Chapter 394 Entering the Finals

Mega Beedrill's Sword Dance was incredibly fast. Before Gardevoir had even fully emerged from the white light, it had already flapped its wings and dashed into the white light, leaving afterimages behind.

As the bee stinger was held horizontally and swung around, streams of bright, deep purple energy swirled around it.

Poisoning attack!

Even after completing Swords Dance, and even against a Gardevoir with paper-thin physical defense, Mega Beedrill still unleashed this Poison-type move, which is doubly super effective against it.

Strive for a fatal blow!

Lacking any overwhelming momentum, the stinger bee, coated with venom, is as ghostly and invisible as an assassin walking in the shadows, even minimizing the noisy buzzing produced by its wing flapping.

hum-

An extremely faint buzzing sound approached swiftly, like the Grim Reaper, attempting to end Mega Gardevoir's life before it even bloomed.

The buzzing sound pierced through the white light, ruthlessly and decisively passing through, and as expected, it missed its target; the Gardevoir inside had already disappeared.

The super-sized bee's densely packed compound eyes scanned all the areas it could see within its 270° field of vision, yet it could not find anything.

Its extensive combat experience tells it that the enemy is right behind it!

Turning its direction and aiming its gun around, Beedrill spotted the Mega Gardevoir in a black dress in the distance and charged towards it without hesitation.

The distance of tens of meters passed in an instant with the extremely high frequency of wing vibrations, and it raised its stinger, which was covered with bright red venom, and stabbed out.

Gardevoir's form, however, dissipated into energy particles in the air like a bubble that could burst at any moment.

Beedrill's crimson compound eyes showed astonishment. It then realized that this was fake, an illusion created by Gardevoir using Shadow Clone!

Sometimes going too fast isn't a good thing. Overconfident Beedrill fell into the trap that Xia Chen and Gardevoir had carefully woven for it.

At this moment, the real Gardevoir... was still standing in the same spot!

"A brilliant deception! Mega Gardevoir used its teleportation Shadow Clone to lure Beedrill away from its original position! With the back-and-forth movement and the attack, even with Mega Beedrill's terrifying speed, it wasted at least two seconds!"

"And this is enough time for her to do many things, such as... magic space!"

…………

The battlefield space was instantly covered by a strange super energy. The super Beedrill, which was about to launch a counterattack, paused for a moment. Its afterimage disappeared instantly, and then its speed visibly decreased!

No matter how hard it flapped its wings, there was no improvement whatsoever.

Magic Space activated!

Gardevoir's speed is certainly not slow, but compared to Mega Beedrill, it's worlds apart.

Sakaki, who had his hands in his pockets, finally took them out of his trouser pockets and clicked his tongue softly.

After creating a shadow clone and teleporting, can one immediately use the Trick Space?

This Gardevoir has an incredibly high level of energy flow.

He wasn't worried about the current disadvantage; in fact, he didn't even care about the outcome of this competition.

Compared to the plan that is about to begin, this is nothing.

Although López had suggested it would be best not to let this guy make it to the finals, to avoid him interfering with the plans if they were brought forward, but...

What does this have to do with me?

What Giovanni sought was nothing more than to use the awakened Mugentana to bring out the unparalleled Zacian and Kuramatsu.

Besides, even if he pulled out his real weapon, who could guarantee that Xia Chen hadn't brought those two legendary Pokémon with him?

Thinking of this, Sakaki became even more listless, and put his hands back into his pockets.

Alright, let the Pokémon play the rest of the battles themselves.

he thought so.

On the battlefield, the tense situation remained one of drawn swords but no direct confrontation.

Although Beedrill has lost its prized speed, its formidable attack power remains.

One poison attack and Gardevoir is still not going to survive.

Beedrill wasn't in much better shape. Milotic's two Water Guns earlier were no joke. With Mega Beedrill's fragile body, it definitely couldn't withstand Gardevoir's two Psychic Blasts, which were twice as effective against it.

At this moment, Gardevoir is adapting to the amazing speed it stole from Mega Beedrill and is trying to launch an attack.

Beedrill, trapped in the Trick Space, did not panic. Although it lost its speed, it did not lose its abnormal dynamic vision.

It hovered in mid-air, its sophisticated compound eyes scanning Gardevoir, which was moving erratically in the air. Its immense energy was ready to be unleashed, waiting for Gardevoir to reveal a weakness.

Unfortunately, this Gardevoir was also surprisingly cautious, and even after reversing its speed disadvantage, it did not make any rash moves.

…………

No, it's not that there's no movement, but rather that the movement has been broken down into countless small movements!

The Beedrill suddenly sensed something.

The increasingly dense aura of supernatural energy in the air... Is this a premonition of the future?

Good grief, they're playing a trick on me!

Beedrill understood Gardevoir's strategy—on the surface, it was playing cat and mouse with Gardevoir, but in reality, it had already planted a time bomb, just waiting for the right moment to detonate it!

What a vicious mind! Even my poisoned needles aren't as wicked as yours!

Without Giovanni's command appearing behind his ear, Beedrill, who had been with him for many years, understood his meaning—the rest of the battles would be handled by him.

Beedrill's fighting spirit grew stronger, but it remained outwardly calm, as if it hadn't noticed Gardevoir's little tricks.
