Chapter 210: Ultimate Poison Jab
"Rwooaa..."
Dragonite let out a low, uneasy growl. On the sidelines, Drago's eyes widened in disbelief.
"How is this possible?"
The golden figure reappearing above the battlefield was none other than Beedrill, who had supposedly been swallowed whole by the Draco Meteor.
But right now, Beedrill showed zero signs of damage. It didn't look like a Pokémon that had just tanked a meteor shower. On the contrary, its red-and-yellow exoskeleton was pristine, gleaming with a metallic sheen under the arena lights. Not even a scratch.
It... it dodged it all??!
Drago swallowed hard. He couldn't fathom how Beedrill had managed to weave through such a dense, unavoidable barrage of meteors.
It wasn't just Drago; even Kenji, its own trainer, couldn't fully comprehend how Beedrill dodged that without using Protect or Substitute.
But in its Super Speed state, Beedrill had simply done it.
With Draco Meteor missing completely, Dragonite's ranged advantage became a joke.
Its Special Attack had plummeted due to the recoil, posing zero threat to Beedrill now.
Beedrill charged at the dragon.
Dragonite attempted to use Extreme Speed again to create distance, hoping to avoid being dragged into Beedrill's lethal close-combat rhythm while unprepared.
But this time, Extreme Speed failed to pull away.
Instead, the distance between the fleeing dragon and the pursuing bee was shrinking rapidly...
Beedrill's Super Speed state—a technique derived from Quick Attack—had now surpassed even the legendary priority move, Extreme Speed!!!
Dragonite reacted fast. realizing it couldn't shake the insect, it spun around and threw a desperate Fire Punch.
But in Super Speed, Beedrill retained extreme agility. It effortlessly sidestepped the flaming fist and drove a Poison Jab straight into Dragonite's round belly.
BANG!!! —
"Rwooaa!! —"
Scales on Dragonite's body shattered.
The Multiscale ability triggered, significantly reducing the damage of the Poison Jab.
Still, Dragonite wailed in pain as it was sent flying by the impact.
"Beedrill!! —"
Kenji shouted, raising his arm. His wide sleeve slid down, revealing the Key Stone bracelet he had kept hidden.
"Mega!!! Evolve!!!"
Rainbow light erupted around Beedrill instantly.
On the other side, Drago's face was grim. Having experienced countless battles over his lifetime, he rarely felt helplessness. But today, facing this Beedrill, that rare feeling crept back into his heart.
If Beedrill was this terrifyingly fast without Mega Evolution... what kind of monster will it become now?
The light faded. Mega Beedrill had arrived.
In the next instant, Mega Beedrill curled its body slightly. It brought its legs and all five lances—the two on its arms and the three on its abdomen—together, focusing all its power into a single point.
BOOM!
Mega Beedrill launched itself at Dragonite. Its body was enveloped in intense white light, but at the tip where the five stingers converged, a deadly purple glow emerged. It moved so fast it seemed to tear the very fabric of space.
Sonic booms erupted one after another. Behind the streak of white light, vapor cones blossomed in the air.
A combo of Giga Impact, Poison Jab, and Super Speed!
Ultimate Poison Jab!!
"Rwooaa!!! —"
Dragonite wasn't stupid. The moment Mega Beedrill started evolving, it had already begun setting up Protect.
So, when the Ultimate Poison Jab came crashing in, a pale green barrier was already fully erected in front of Dragonite.
A Protect barrier from a Level 93 Dragonite was nearly unbreakable. Even a Level 99 Pokémon would struggle to scratch it. Only a Level 100 Master-rank Pokémon could confidently shatter it.
BOOM!!! —
Mega Beedrill's attack slammed into the barrier.
Both trainers stared intently at the collision.
Kenji wasn't sure if Mega Beedrill could break through.
After all, Mega Beedrill was essentially Level 84 (base). Even with buffs, it was still an Elite/Master-tier Pokémon, a tier below Champion level.
On the other side, Drago didn't have a Data Eye, so he couldn't see levels. He relied on his decades of experience to estimate.
This Beedrill... must be at least Level 97!!
That was Drago's conservative estimate. Honestly, he had never seen anyone train a Beedrill to Champion level.
Weak Bug-types usually had base stat totals under 400. In the wild, they relied on swarm tactics to survive. Unless it was true love, no trainer would invest massive resources into one.
But Kenji's Beedrill defied all logic.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Drago wouldn't believe anyone could train a Beedrill to outspeed a Champion-level Dragonite using Extreme Speed.
For a split second, Drago even wondered if this Beedrill was actually a Legendary Pokémon in disguise.
Faced with such an anomaly, Drago began to doubt if even Dragonite's barrier could hold.
Crrrack... Crrrrack...
From the deadlock in the arena, a crisp sound echoed. Spiderweb cracks began to spread across the indestructible green barrier.
Dragonite let out a weak growl, unable to stop the collapse.
SHATTER!!! —
The barrier exploded into shards of light. Dragonite was blasted backward.
It broke through!!!
Kenji was ecstatic.
This meant that the destructive power of Mega Beedrill's Ultimate Poison Jab had surpassed that of most Level 99 Champion Pokémon!!
