Chapter 102 - Chapter 24: Deadly Needle Stab

Natsuhiko volunteered, saving Aiwei a lot of trouble.

She liked such confident people, only then can they bring out the spirit of the club.

The premise is if Natsuhiko can actually do what he says.

Threw the Pokeball.

Beedrill appeared on the field.

"Beedrill? Is there still anyone using Beedrill nowadays?"

Seeing Beedrill appear, Manwa immediately sneered mockingly.

The others also chimed in, their eyes full of disdain.

Beedrill is such a common Pokémon.

Their evolution process is quick, the initial combat strength forms quickly, but to train them well requires too much effort and cost.

Many people only use Beedrill as a transitional Pokémon in the early stages, rarely continuing to train them further.

So, in the eyes of these Trainers with increasing power, who have gained a certain foundation and capability, Beedrill is one of the synonyms for weakness.

In their view, the real terrifying part of Beedrill is the number, not the quality of a single one.

The only advantage Beedrill has over Machoke might be its type advantage over Fighting Types.

Fighting Techniques against Beedrill, which is Bug and Poison Type, only deal a quarter of the damage, greatly reducing the threat level.

But Machoke of Manwa previously demonstrated Thunder Fist, could it have failed to master a move to counter Beedrill?

So, from Manwa's side,

the third battle seemed secured.

Natsuhiko glanced at the arrogant Manwa on the opposite side without speaking, just silently touched the back of Beedrill.

Looked at the referee.

No need to say useless nonsense, anyway, in this world it ultimately comes down to fists.

The crimson eyes of Beedrill were filled with anger, the Double Needles gently rubbed against each other.

The taste of being looked down upon is not good.

But that's okay, soon they will be shut up.

After the referee confirmed both sides were ready, waved the flag in hand and announced the start of the battle.

Natsuhiko did not blindly command Beedrill to launch a direct attack, he saw too clearly how the previous two lost, being too aggressive and getting caught by the opponent.

Admittedly, the opponent's ability to seize the opportunity is indeed strong.

"Buzz!"

Along with a low shout from Beedrill, its wings fluttered lightly, a milky white airflow surrounded its body, took a deep breath, attention highly focused, the Double Needles slowly rubbed, producing a slightly sharp low hum.

Tailwind + Qi Gathering + Sharpening, the standard set of three.

Seeing Beedrill not rushing to launch an attack to take the initiative, Manwa frowned, and also began to command Machoke to enhance itself.

Bodybuilding!

However, Beedrill completed its enhancement in an almost instantaneous manner thanks to proficiency, while Machoke was still showing off its muscles, Beedrill's wings vibrated again, the golden patterns on the wings flickered.

The figure, suddenly like a sharp sword, shot out.

So fast!

Noticing Beedrill's speed, Manwa's expression changed, had to immediately stop Machoke's Bodybuilding, reminding it to pay attention to the opponent's movement.

The speed Beedrill exhibited far exceeded the two Pokémon that fought it before.

"This Beedrill is well-trained, very fast." Flint somehow had appeared at Aiwei's side, laughingly commented.

Seeing Flint, Aiwei's face again showed a smile, nodded in agreement.

Looked onto the field at Beedrill.

A month ago, this Beedrill didn't have such exaggerated speed.

Meanwhile, Beedrill charging with a Long Needle, the body started spinning.

The impact further enhanced.

The sudden assault and extremely fast speed of Beedrill somewhat surpassed Machoke's realm of knowledge.

Fortunately, the field was large enough, giving it some reaction time.

With one hand formed into a palm, the palm swirling with gathered Fighting Energy, timing Beedrill's arrival, the eyes widened sharply, and a hit with an empty hand chop came down.

But an even more unexpected scene appeared.

During the rapid rush, Beedrill suddenly trembled its wings, its rotation used air resistance to halt abruptly, also properly dodging Machoke's hand chop.

Then, at an extremely tricky angle, from below to above aimed at Machoke's armpit, lightly swept as if performing acrobatics.

Bang!

Clearly a seemingly soft action, actually knocked Machoke flying, hit the weak underarm part, also successfully triggered the Sniper trait of Beedrill, doubling the power of the acrobatics technique.

The only regret is, with Beedrill carrying Silver Powder, the power increase effect of the acrobatics technique disappeared.

But that's fine, before Machoke landed, Beedrill trembled its body again and chased.

Closed in swiftly.

Silver white Long Needle striking with green light, Deadly Needle Stab!

Puh–tz–

Machoke that was already knocked flying accelerated to fly out, fall in front of Manwa, lost its ability to battle.

Receive what you give.

Beedrill slowly stopped, glanced at Manwa's frozen face, then silently returned to Natsuhiko's side.

"Well done."

Natsuhiko smiled and patted Beedrill.

Deadly Needle Stab, a Bug Type technique, it was an unexpected gain in Beedrill's training these past half a month.

In training, it was already able to use and master proficiently, but in actual combat, this was the first time.

However, from the current situation, the effect is good.

The battle almost decided the outcome in an instant, the club assistants watching more or less had some surprise.

So fast?

Wasn't Machoke just previously using an almost overwhelming posture to solve the two opponent's Pokémon?

Though the speed of this Beedrill was indeed somewhat beyond their expectation.

But isn't the ability to seize opportunities exactly what Manwa's Machoke is best at?

The entire field was silent.

"This progress..." Aiwei smacked her lips, not knowing how to start.

It seemed like a very conventional operation, Beedrill quickly closing in, evading the empty hand chop, Flying Technique acrobatics striking Machoke's vital point, Deadly Needle Stab to make up the damage, quickly finishing up.

But the key was that dodge.

And Beedrill's speed was indeed too fast, surpassing the range of Machoke's opportunity-grabbing and timing recognition.

The most important thing is... Deadly Needle Stab completed the harvesting.

"Interesting, a Beedrill with a Sniper trait, possessing extremely fast speed and opportunity-grabbing ability not losing to the opponent, the effect of the acrobatics technique was not fully utilized, is it carrying some Pokémon item? But still dealt considerable damage, now even the effect of Deadly Needle Stab is unleashed..."

Flint couldn't help but exclaim.

Deadly Needle Stab, when hitting an enemy, and causing it to lose the ability to battle, will greatly enhance the Pokémon's Attack Power.

In other words, the success of this strike directly caused Beedrill's attack to almost double.

This is the most terrifying.

"Deadly Needle Stab..."

Matsukita's eyelid twitched, expression became very grave, he didn't expect Manwa's Machoke to be defeated so quickly by Beedrill.

Even less expected Natsuhiko's Beedrill to have learned Deadly Needle Stab and completed the harvesting.

Now, it's a little troublesome.
