And this.
Also heralded a surge in speed for the Overlord Sandslash.
"Shoveling Snow" trait!
Upon seeing this Overlord Sandslash emerge from the snow without a hint of vagueness, Natsuhiko guessed that its trait must be "Shoveling Snow."
Shoveling Snow: In hail weather, speed doubles.
But Natsuhiko and Beedrill remained unflustered in the face of this situation.
He could be heard shouting loudly:
"Beedrill, Mega Evolution!"
For a moment.
The Overlord Sandslash, which had already approached thanks to the speed boost from the "hail" weather, watched as the Beedrill, enveloped in a rich multicolored super evolution energy, once again distanced itself further and further away.
When the super evolution energy completely dissipated.
"Sss-pi!"
True Zhao Zifeng of Changshan!
So, your speed doubles, eh?
What's more important.
The Mega-evolved Super Beedrill, in terms of sheer power, has already reached the Elite Candidate Level!
Originally, it couldn't harm the Overlord Sandslash, but now it's different.
Buzz——
Once again disappeared from the Overlord Sandslash's vision.
This time, it truly vanished.
Its extreme speed left only arcs of electricity jumping in the air, its trace uncatchable.
The amplification of "Tailwind" and "High-speed Movement" had reached its pinnacle.
Bang!!
The Overlord Sandslash staggered, barely supporting itself with its arms from collapsing.
A distinct cross-shaped wound was glaringly apparent on its back.
Mega Evolution was a perfect boost for a Pokémon like Beedrill.
One could even say, among all the Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution, none are more perfect than the Super Beedrill.
Whether in terms of appearance change or stat change.
The Overlord Sandslash was dumbfounded.
It could hardly believe what it saw.
Even though it had used "Hail" to boost its speed, the gap with the opponent was widening?
And the attacks from the Super Beedrill were no longer tickles but inflicted excruciating pain.
While the Mega-evolved Super Beedrill no longer had the "Sniper" trait with its explosively terrifying damage.
The "Adaptability" trait allowed it more tolerance for error, making its sustained output stronger.
Bam!!
Another attack.
This time it was dramatically from the front.
The Overlord Sandslash tilted its head back, the pain from its chin and abdomen causing its eyes to redden.
It smelled the sense of being toyed with.
Yet it had no recourse.
It was an experience it never had before.
It felt like battling not an opponent, but a ghost.
"Sss-pi!"
Amidst the hail.
The figure of the Super Beedrill paused.
The "Sword Dance" amplification!
It stared fixedly at the Overlord Sandslash.
Its eyes conveyed.
The next attack would come from the front.
"Ku-ka!!" Unable to tolerate this provocation, the Overlord Sandslash let out a long howl with arms outstretched, staring fiercely at the Super Beedrill hovering not far away.
It was ready!
The next second.
As if arranged, both Pokémon moved simultaneously.
The Overlord Sandslash raised its arms, thick ice energy frenziedly gathering before it, a huge, solid, and sharp ice crystal prism quickly coalesced.
Ice Pillar Fall!
Bam!!
However.
In the Overlord Sandslash's incredulous gaze, its "Ice Pillar Fall" had already been shot straight ahead.
Yet its abdomen still felt a sharp pain.
Looking down.
Unbeknownst to it, the long needle of the Super Beedrill had appeared before it.
When did this happen?
Bang!!
The Overlord Sandslash's body slammed heavily into the snowdrift.
The Super Beedrill still standing took a deep breath.
The leader aura surrounding it became even more intense.
"Sss-pi!!"
A cry, as if proclaiming sovereignty, echoed across the top of Lanakila Mountain.
