"..."
After a few seconds of silence, the entire venue erupted with cheers, accompanied by various whispers and discussions.
Yesterday and even the days before, when Natsuhiko and his main Pokémon fought Gym Leader level opponents, although he had the upper hand, there was at least some back-and-forth.
Now... encountering an Elite Candidate level opponent was even faster ended.
"Natsuhiko's Beedrill has always had top-tier opportunity-grabbing ability, and its explosive power is its strongest attribute. Now with Eevee's exclusive 'Z Move' enhancement, he's not holding back at all," Flint smacked his lips in the contestant's seat, still showing a hint of amazement on his face.
"No, it's not just that, the Beedrill has transformed speed into power, its speed is no longer just speed," Lance couldn't help but add.
Hilona gently brushed her hair aside and took a deep breath, slowly saying, "And energy, is Natsuhiko's Beedrill preparing to break through to Elite Trainer Level?"
Upon hearing this, several people looked at her in surprise.
But none of them refuted.
Because they all knew Hilona's guess wasn't wrong.
"Hmm?" Professor Oak blinked his eyes, "Natsuhiko's Beedrill..."
Why does it remind him, to some extent, of that particular person's essence?
But that "essence" isn't obvious.
In Professor Oak's view, this might be a stage that Beedrill-type Pokémon inevitably undergo once trained to a certain level.
After all, in the Pokémon Realm, there indeed aren't many who can train a Beedrill to the level Natsuhiko has achieved now.
Morden lazily sat on the sofa, but if you looked closely, you would find that his gaze wasn't lazy at all.
He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, "Impressive look."
Such a brief exchange, with its incredulous result, brings forth significant impacts.
"Shiver-Bee—!!"
Returning to the field, Beedrill's wings erupted with Thunderlight, its crimson compound eyes scanning arrogantly across the arena.
That aura of the Overlord poured forth.
With it arose.
As well as the gradually circling dark red airflow around Beedrill.
Upon seeing this scene.
The Kings and Queens of Islands couldn't remain seated.
"Overlord Aura?!"
"No!"
"It's not simply Overlord Aura."
Even they had never seen a captured Pokémon possessing the "Overlord Aura," this was beyond their understanding.
"Is it my illusion? Why does it seem like Mr. Natsuhiko's Beedrill has grown larger?"
"Probably... not, I have the same feeling."
"Beedrill's so imposing!"
"..."
Aliu tightly grabbed Da Ye's clothes beside him, shaking him, "Da Ye, saw it?! You saw it?! That's an Insect-type Pokémon!"
Da Ye's eyes sparked with fire, he clenched his fist, "Why am I not the one standing opposite Natsuhiko! I feel my blood boiling."
Wusong pushed his glasses, his eyes full of puzzlement.
Beedrill's appearance surpassed even Wusong's extensive knowledge.
Shimi retrieved Starmie with a Pokeball and took a deep breath.
Somewhat helplessly, he glanced at Natsuhiko on the opposite side, his mouth twitching slightly.
Wasn't it just a moment ago in the player's tunnel that they were chatting amiably?
Is this what "giving it your all" means?
Shimi briefly recollected.
He didn't seem to have offended Natsuhiko at all?
Aren't you the "Tactical Master"?
Use tactics!
Utilize strategies!
Implement schemes!
Why does Shimi feel a sense of absurdity rising in his heart, as if Natsuhiko intends to forcefully sweep teams with this Beedrill?
Once this thought arises, it becomes difficult to suppress.
The full ability boosts from "Nine-Colored Ascension Gathered at the Peak," the support of "Tailwind," the finishing with "Deadly Needle Stab"...
The buffs on Beedrill right now have become somewhat excessive.
Could they really sweep teams?
"Shimi, please send out your Pokémon!"
Upon hearing this, Shimi took a deep breath and suppressed that ridiculous notion, flipping his hand to reveal a Pokeball.
The Pokeball opened.
"Roar—!!"
Baring its fangs, the terrifying beast appeared on the field, its roar intimidating the arena.
"Shimi's second Pokémon is the marine overlord, Gyarados!!"
The intimidation from its "Intimidation" trait made hearts skip a beat.
Beedrill squinted its eyes, its aura becoming increasingly lively.
"Gyarados, Bounce!"
"Power Grid!"
