At this moment—
Su Qingxue nervously grasped her teacher's arm.
Several Electric-type Pokémon were glaring at them menacingly, their hostility unmistakable.
Electric Pokémon were known to have quick tempers compared to other types. Coupled with today's rare storm, a perfect opportunity to boost their strength, these wild Pokémon clearly didn't welcome intruders like Guo Yi and his student.
Seeing this, Guo Yi's gaze sharpened. He spoke softly, yet firmly:
"Beedrill."
The moment his words left his mouth, the Pokémon nearest to them were instantly knocked unconscious by Beedrill's lightning-fast strikes.
Zzzzt!
Facing numerous opponents without the slightest fear, Beedrill raised its lance-like stingers boldly, resembling a proud knight defending a forbidden territory.
[Cross this line, and you're dead!]
Beedrill arrogantly drew a threatening line across the ground.
This was Su Qingxue's first time witnessing such overwhelming dominance from her teacher's Beedrill, leaving her momentarily stunned.
Roar!
At this point, a Luxray slowly stepped forward. Covered mostly in thick, black fur, with blue fur around its face, legs, and hindquarters, it resembled a regal lion.
[Luxray (Electric-type)]
[Gender: ♂]
[Level: Lv75 (Elite Four-Tier)]
[Ability: Rivalry]
[Moves: Wild Charge, Superpower, Crunch, Thunder Wave, Thunder Fang, Electric Terrain (commonly used moves)]
[Egg Move: Ice Fang]
[Held Item: Muscle Band (Pseudo-Elite Four level)]
[Potential: Elite Four-Tier]
This Luxray evidently held high status among the gathered wild Pokémon, as others respectfully stepped aside when it approached.
Luxray first glanced coldly at the Pokémon knocked unconscious by Beedrill, then turned its wary eyes toward the powerful insect.
Its acute sixth sense warned it clearly—
This seemingly ordinary Beedrill was incredibly strong!
Yet, unaware of this silent exchange, Su Qingxue's body trembled slightly.
If her instincts weren't mistaken, the Luxray's overwhelming aura belonged unmistakably to an Elite Four-level Pokémon.
Such a terrifying presence had only been matched by her mother's Elite Four-level Nidoqueen.
She had never imagined that simply wanting to capture a Weedle would result in confronting a Pokémon of such immense power.
Just as Su Qingxue was about to suggest retreating and abandoning their goal, a comforting hand gently patted her head.
"Don't worry."
"With me here, nothing can threaten your safety."
Guo Yi's calm reassurance instantly dissolved her fear.
From this simple exchange, she quickly realized something crucial about Beedrill's strength.
Elite Four-Tier!
Her teacher's Beedrill was definitely at the Elite Four level.
Excitement and admiration flashed brightly in Su Qingxue's eyes.
...
Though intimidated by Beedrill's evident strength, Luxray couldn't accept being openly challenged like this, especially not in front of the other Pokémon. Its pride demanded that it confront Beedrill head-on.
However—
The moment Luxray crossed the line Beedrill had drawn, a sharp impact instantly threw it several meters backward.
Thud!
A shallow cut appeared clearly on Luxray's body, marking exactly where Beedrill had struck.
Yes, Beedrill had attacked.
Facing such a large group of wild Pokémon, retreating even slightly could lead to disaster, with the horde seizing that moment to swarm forward.
While Beedrill itself faced little danger, the trainers behind it wouldn't fare nearly as well.
Thus, any Pokémon crossing the line would suffer Beedrill's ruthless strike without mercy.
Roar…
Luxray snarled quietly in frustration, clearly wounded and wary.
Due to its caution towards Beedrill's strength, it made no further moves.
Thus—
The stalemate between the two Pokémon continued silently.
Crack-BOOM!
Suddenly, an ear-splitting clap of thunder erupted overhead.
All the Electric Pokémon immediately turned their attention skyward, their expressions transforming into joy. Without hesitation, they began racing deeper into the valley.
The chance to rapidly enhance their strength had arrived, and they wouldn't miss it.
Luxray, having already lost its interest in fighting Beedrill, growled resentfully at the insect as it retreated.
Just you wait!
Leaving behind this threat, it turned and dashed swiftly into the valley.
"Qingxue, hurry!"
"We need to follow them."
Without delay, Guo Yi grabbed Su Qingxue's hand, pulling her swiftly toward the valley's depths.
Now—
Countless bolts of lightning cascaded relentlessly from above.
Arcs of electricity surged across the ground, while the Electric Pokémon eagerly absorbed the energy to strengthen themselves.
"That's odd…"
"Ordinary lightning storms never draw Pokémon in like this."
"Why would they gather so enthusiastically right now?"
"Is there something special about this lightning?"
Realizing this, Guo Yi instinctively raised his head, activating his [Data Eye] to its absolute limit.
Suddenly—
Amid the storm clouds, he caught a glimpse of a bright yellow figure.
He inhaled sharply in shock:
That's… Tapu Koko, the Island Guardian from the Alola region!
Guo Yi had never expected that the lightning powering up these Pokémon was actually summoned by Tapu Koko itself.
[Tapu Koko (Electric/Fairy-type)]
[Gender: ♂]
[Level: Lv91 (Master-Tier)]
[Ability: Electric Surge (Automatically creates Electric Terrain upon entering battle)]
[Moves: Wild Charge, Electro Ball, Thunderbolt, Nature's Madness, Thunder, Dazzling Gleam, Sky Attack, Brave Bird]
[Held Item: Tapunium Z]
[Potential: Master-Tier]
A legendary Pokémon—
It was Guo Yi's first time seeing one with his own eyes.
Now I finally understand what that mysterious Pokémon mentioned in the description was.
It was Tapu Koko all along…
When initially reading the description beneath Weedle's fate-related information, Guo Yi hadn't taken it too seriously. He'd assumed that the "mysterious Pokémon" who had saved Weedle was merely a powerful but ordinary Pokémon.
But now, it was obvious—
The mysterious Pokémon was none other than Tapu Koko itself.
At this very moment, high above in the storm clouds, Tapu Koko had shut its shell-like arms, storing vast amounts of electricity within itself.
According to legend—
Tapu Koko could manipulate lightning, summoning storms to store power within its body.
The spectacular scene unfolding right now confirmed these legends beyond any doubt.
