Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

A huge black ball of light shot out from the hands of the two divine beasts.

"boom!"

A deafening roar echoed.

The light shield that formed the pyramid illusion trembled uncontrollably, rippling outwards in layers.

"Sizzle—Bang!"

What made Gilluta's face darken slightly was...

Two of his prized machines were damaged, emitting black smoke, after being struck by this one move.

The intensity of the pyramid illusion inevitably decreased.

"Release all the capture devices!"

Gilluta quickly issued instructions to the intelligent system.

"receive."

The intelligent system's responses were always so timely and calm.

Under its control, many more triangular cages were added to restrain the divine beast.

For a moment, the entire pyramid illusion seemed to materialize, and the appearances of the two elves inside became somewhat indistinct.

"What is this thing??"

Not only Tetsuya and Akira, but even Sakaki was shocked by the technological power displayed by Gilluta.

Those two are mythical beasts.

Although Mewtwo's primary function is not combat, it is essentially still in its early teens.

But this still cannot conceal their formidable strength.

Let alone compared to ordinary Pokémon, even champion-level Pokémon have little chance of fighting back against them.

If I were the one trapped right now...

Sakaki imagined it for a moment, and his whole demeanor became even more gloomy.

It must be admitted that he may not be able to break free.

A blue light kept flashing in Tetsuya's eyes.

Zero's analysis was running at full speed, but it was still unable to provide more specific manufacturing principles.

but.

There are still some clues that can be discerned.

"This is... the power of the Three Divine Birds?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno.

Tetsuya had encountered the latter two of these three types of spirits.

Even their own Pokémon bear the "traces" of the other party.

Therefore, they would naturally be familiar with their power.

As for Moltres, with two other bases, it's not difficult to deduce its fate.

Ke Zhe couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

How did the three legendary birds manage to trap both Mew and Mewtwo at the same time?

It should be noted that the strongest of these three types of spirits is merely an assistant to Lugia, the god of the sea.

The gap between the two sides is still quite large.

"This is the power of 'balance'."

Gilluta spread his arms wide in the flying palace, his tone quite proud: "According to the manufacturing theory of Poké Balls, what actually catches and binds Pokémon is the 'net' contained inside."

Due to differences in raw materials and their inherent effects, 'nets' also vary, which is why there is a distinction between ordinary balls and special balls.

Based on this, it means that as long as the materials that make up the 'net' are strong enough, then trapping even more powerful mythical beasts will definitely not be a problem.

I incorporated the feathers and energy of the three divine birds into specially made materials, creating a perfect closed loop.

Although there are still some shortcomings in the experiment, it should have no problem dealing with these two divine beasts who have exhausted their stamina.

His mutterings went unheard by Tetsuya and Sakaki.

After all, there is still quite a distance.

But judging from each other's expressions, they could both guess what he was doing.

As a villain, you always have to say something at times like this, otherwise you'd be letting yourself down.

Sakaki doesn't consider himself an evil villain; his goals are far more ambitious.

"However, this scene does seem somewhat familiar."

Tetsuya scratched his head, recalling many memories.

I vaguely remember that in the theatrical version of the movie, this mad collector also used similar technology to deal with the three legendary birds, which were perhaps the strongest.

Moreover, those three silly birds really had no way to deal with these instruments, and after struggling for a while, they were captured.

If it weren't for Ash's help and the appearance of the Sea God, they probably would have been collected by Gilluta.

"You seem to know about that thing?"

Cerulean Mewtwo, who suddenly appeared next to Tetsuya, asked him telepathically.

The former wasn't too surprised: "Not really, it's just that I have some ideas on how to destroy them."

Hua Lanchao nodded knowingly.

As a Psychic-type legendary Pokémon, its intelligence is actually much higher than that of humans.

Having a high IQ is one thing, but being able to come up with solutions to problems is another.

The two are not absolutely related.

"Do you know?"

Sakaki, who was on the other side, was very surprised to see this.

He carefully recalled Tetsuya's information.

That shouldn't be the case...

It was impossible for this young man, who grew up in Tokiwa City, to contact any other mysterious organization under his very nose.

If the Rockets don't even have this much confidence and ability, they should just disband and stop trying to compete in the league.

"That's none of your business."

Tetsuya shrugged and gave the Team Rocket leader his first smile since the start of the battle: "Now, it's your turn to think about how to save your life."

"I never said I wanted to get involved in your human battles."

Cerulean Mewtwo seemed rather reluctant as it ran to Mewtwo's side to treat it.

It hasn't even settled accounts with Tetsuya yet.

If it weren't for this human, Mewtwo wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

Tetsuya shrugged: "Don't say that. I did help you find that thing. You can't just stand by and watch it die."

He seemed completely unconcerned that Cerberus would refuse his request for help.

that's the truth.

After a period of silence.

Hua Lan Chao Meng nodded helplessly: "Only this once."

"of course."

Tetsuya responded with a smile.

Sure enough, this Mewtwo's personality is very different from the one Giovanni created.

Despite her seemingly cold demeanor, she is actually quite gentle at heart due to the intervention of Pokémon such as Ditto in Cerulean Cave.

He saw a human and an elf communicating right under his nose.

Sakaki did not feel that he was being looked down upon, but instead took immediate action.

"Beedrill, Mega Evolve!"

A cold voice rang out.

Under Tetsuya's dumbfounded gaze, Beedrill flung away the hugely different Pidgeot with a single sting, and then its entire body was enveloped in a layer of white light.

A giant Beedrill with an exceptionally cool appearance and a full five stingers appeared before everyone.

but.

Giovanni didn't evolve Beedrill for fighting.

It was for running.

"Beedrill, move at high speed!"

Chapter 659 Escape

Compared to the common bee.

Mega Beedrill has grown more than half again as big.

Its sharp lines give it a fierce and aggressive look.

The head, torso, and tail are no longer directly connected, but instead have black connecting parts.

Its antennae are shorter and extend to the back of its head, and its elongated red compound eyes appear particularly aggressive.

Its tail became conical, with two conical grooves at the front, making it look like an unopened yellow and black umbrella.

The poison needles at its tail have become longer, and their toxicity has been visibly enhanced. The needles on its hands have also been given a structure similar to the hilt of a knight's sword, which helps it to pierce the enemy's body more effectively.

Not only that.

Beedrill's original two legs also turned into two needles with yellow and black stripes after Mega Evolution.

With five gleaming needles, even the most clueless person could tell that Mega Beedrill had a significantly enhanced physical attack capability.

The entire sprite is like a fast and precise machine designed specifically for destruction.

And that is indeed the case.

If you only look at the data, the same move deals more than twice the damage of Mega Beedrill compared to its pre-evolution form.

Place it on Giovanni's Beedrill.

Tetsuya had no doubt that his opponent was comparable to or even surpassed most third-level gods in terms of attack power alone.

Among these factors, the changes in characteristics are also an important aspect that cannot be ignored.

The combination of Insect Sense and Sniper has become an adaptability with virtually no prerequisites, allowing the power boost of a Pokémon's STAB moves to increase from about 1.5x to about 2x.

The increase in STAB's stats alone is almost enough to erase the existence of the Insect Premonition.

Moreover, the adaptability characteristic does not require physical strength to be less than one-third.

For Pokémon like Beedrill, whose HP remains below average even after Mega Evolution, this largely avoids dangerous tactical choices like dancing on a knife's edge.

The same applies to a sniper hitting vital points.

The energy expenditure from maintaining concentration for extended periods is also significant.

While the benefits of hitting a vital point may seem reduced, in reality, analyzing the entire battle, Mega Beedrill's threat has only increased.

It can be said that the ability change of Mega Beedrill is actually a pretty good result.

Yet, it is such a powerful being.

After appearing, the action it took was to have its entire body glow white, and then it burst into a phantom at lightning speed, carrying Sakaki away into the distance to begin its retreat.
