Buzzwole.
It is a mosquito-like humanoid, entirely red, covered in sturdy muscles, at first glance resembling a professional bodybuilder.
Even the most exaggerated muscles Natsuhiko has seen on Sheba, pale in comparison to Buzzwole.
Ultimate Beast of the Insect-type and Fighting Type.
"Buzzwole!"
Buzzwole didn't immediately initiate an attack, flaunting its muscular physique in poses akin to a professional bodybuilder.
"Buzzwole!"
It continued to shout as it showed off.
But while it was calm, Diya did not look as pleased.
"You guys try to delay Guzzlord, but not too much, time it with the closing of the Ultimate Cave. I'll send this Buzzwole back before then!"
Natsuhiko spoke quickly, directing Diya and Ash Ketchum.
"Alright!"
Diya didn't say much more, understanding that trusting Natsuhiko was the best choice, and Natsuhiko's strength warranted his trust.
"Let's go, Zeraora!"
"We'll go too, Pikachu!"
The two sprinted towards the direction of the approaching dust.
Natsuhiko and his three Pokémon focused their gaze on Buzzwole.
Though Buzzwole was intimidating, Natsuhiko was well aware of its weaknesses.
"Buzzwole!"
Buzzwole felt snubbed when Diya and Ash Ketchum didn't admire its impressive muscles, making it feel ignored.
Its four strong limbs suddenly exerted force, and its massive body lunged forward.
Hum—
Beedrill's wings trembled, blocking Buzzwole's path.
Boom!!
Its powerful fist collided directly with Beedrill's Long Needle, and the terrifying force caused the ground to emit a sound of strain, cracking layers and raising a large cloud of dust.
Buzzwole halted its actions.
However, Beedrill was pushed back a considerable distance.
In a pure strength comparison, Beedrill fell behind.
Buzzwole looked in surprise at this bee before it, curious how its skinny arms and legs held such power.
Nevertheless, its ire towards Diya and Ash Ketchum transferred directly to Beedrill.
Being Insect-type, this was a contest between mosquito and bee.
"Buzzwole!"
Buzzwole leapt, spreading its arms wide, lunging at Beedrill.
Wild Charge!
An Insect-type Technique that lowers the opponent's Attack Power upon hitting.
However.
It aimed to duel Beedrill, but Beedrill knew now wasn't the time for a duel; it needed to resolve Buzzwole swiftly.
Thus, it hovered at its spot, dark red currents surging as its momentum sharply escalates.
Sword Dance!
Buzzwole saw that Beedrill neither dodged nor attacked, feeling once again the disdain.
Red light flickered in its eyes, visible "veins" in its muscles squirming, as some unknown liquid surged through, causing its already massive muscles to swell even more.
Yet.
Enveloped and guided by psychic power, Buzzwole suddenly found the Beedrill before it morphing into another Pokémon.
Alakazam, wielding a Spoon, unleashed a burst of psychic power.
"Strong Mental Will" tore through, assaulting Buzzwole's consciousness.
Simultaneously.
Two crescent-like milky white air blades sliced through the air from another cunning angle, aimed at Buzzwole.
The "Air Slash" of Togekiss!
Poof, poof—
Alakazam's "Strong Mental Will" caused momentary confusion in Buzzwole's consciousness, greatly boosting Togekiss's "Air Slash" chance to trigger additional effects.
Apart from cooperating in "Exchange Arena" Defense Swap, they've added another collaboration strategy.
The difference was previously Alakazam was the core, but this time Togekiss takes the lead.
"Air Slash" hits!
Buzzwole perfectly illustrated what it means to be "muscles developed, brains simplistic."
Fell into a Wither state.
"Chako Eee!"
Togekiss shouted out.
Beedrill also moved in the next second, originally behind Buzzwole, tracing a golden arc in the air, appearing before Buzzwole.
Cross Cut struck Buzzwole's chest.
"Buzzwole!!"
Pained, Buzzwole couldn't help but shout, the agony filling its eyes with scarlet.
Though its body kept retreating, its condition wasn't overly poor.
This physical condition... Natsuhiko couldn't help but grumble.
Ultimate Beasts truly aren't measurable by regular Pokémon.
Swoosh, swoosh—
Amid Buzzwole's roar, Alakazam's "Strong Mental Will" and Togekiss's "Air Slash" repeated their previous tactics.
However.
This time, they were disappointed.
Buzzwole, in a rampage, didn't fall into the Wither state like before.
Its fist was instantly enveloped by dark red energy.
Bursting Fist!
Wind tore the air, Buzzwole's target remained Beedrill.
"If it can't be controlled, we have to go hard!" Natsuhiko's expression slightly darkened.
If there was enough time, he could slowly handle this Buzzwole.
But looking at the Ultimate Cave continuously diminishing, with an increasingly rapid reduction trend, he didn't have much time left.
Moreover, the commotion from Guzzlord wasn't far off, making the presence of both Ultimate Beasts even more problematic.
Next time, it's uncertain when the Ultimate Cave will reopen.
If they're not dealt with, it's likely Tapu Koko here won't send them back.
Natsuhiko doesn't have time to linger here.
Thus.
No more hesitation.
