"Charizard, Jet Flame!"
Facing the Beedrill, whose attributes are restrained, Charizard dared not take it lightly, its whole body highly focused, with blazing flames rushing forward.
Buzz—
Beedrill didn't choose to take the attack head-on; such an attack is too harmful for it.
As its wings vibrated, its speed increased with each vibration, and strands of white airflow surrounded Beedrill's body.
Tailwind + High-speed Movement!
With a cunning angle, it brushed against the incoming flames and headed for Charizard.
It's too familiar with Pokémon like Charizard.
When Natsuhiko trained it to enhance the "Sniper" trait, Charizard often appeared as a target.
So, at this moment, in its sights, Charizard's weak spot was already locked!
With another flap of its wings, Beedrill's long-lost "Leader's Aura" surged out from within.
With increased usage, Beedrill had become more adept at utilizing "Leader's Aura".
Buzz—
With a sudden flap, it closed in on Charizard.
"Well done! Charizard, Hot Wind!"
Charizard's wings also flapped rapidly, and with its body as the center, unbearable heat spread out, making the whole arena become increasingly hot with its actions.
Yet, people were unaware and kept shouting.
This duel was dubbed as a brotherly rupture or rather a classic.
Then.
Beedrill's figure suddenly stopped, and the airflow around it isolated Charizard's "Hot Wind", forming a small airflow of its own.
Shield of Retribution!
For such a technique, Charizard was momentarily stunned.
But this was exactly the opportunity Beedrill was waiting for!
As a professional assassin, it never misses such fleeting chances.
Rapid approach.
The technique Beedrill used was... Malicious Pursuit!
Boom!
Long Needle Electric Shot directly hit Charizard's weak spot on the abdomen.
But Beedrill's attack didn't stop there.
This was the direction of Natsuhiko's next training for Beedrill's combined techniques: Chaotic Strike + Malicious Pursuit!
Under highly concentrated attention, Beedrill, although unable to combine the two techniques, used "Malicious Pursuit" to achieve the effect of "Double Needle".
After all, it has two guns!
Boom!
The effect of Malicious Pursuit is that after the enemy takes damage, the second hit would double in power.
"Roar—!!"
Charizard cried out in pain.
Not only because of the second of "Malicious Pursuit" but also because it hit a vital spot.
Sniper trait activated!
This hit was incredibly damaging!
But Charizard, worthy of being Lance's Charizard, reacted after the first hit; even though the second hit was painful, it still endured and took a stance.
Bear!!
Golden-red flames engulfed its entire body, and its claws grabbed the Beedrill on the abdomen, which was unable to dodge due to "Greed"'s attack, smashing it downward.
Lance's Charizard's combined techniques, Flashing Flame Charge + Earthbound!
This hit was definitely fatal!
Boom!!!
Today's battle venue endured pressure it shouldn't have.
Crack-crack-crack—
Layers of cracks spread.
But.
Natsuhiko didn't intend to stop commanding.
In such a situation, has Beedrill not lost its ability to fight?
The answer is.
No.
Poksky's "Prayer" played a crucial role again, enabling Beedrill to save a last bit of strength.
Although Beedrill seemed ragged, was Charizard feeling well?
Enduring two "Air Slashes" against Togekiss, then undergoing two "Malicious Pursuits" from Beedrill, with the second triggering the additional effect of "Malicious Pursuit" and the Sniper trait, and finally enduring the rebound damage from this "Flashing Flame Charge".
Charizard was also on the verge of exhaustion.
Has it reached the point of fighting the final move?
That Beedrill could battle Charizard to this extent, nobody probably predicted.
Only Lance.
Had no slightest underestimation of Natsuhiko's Beedrill's strength.
This point Da Ye should deeply understand.
So.
"Charizard, Overheat!"
Overheat, a fire-type technique with power as high as 130 points, but its downside is that after use, its special attack sharply decreases.
This already counted as Charizard's final burst.
Because Lance did not want to see Beedrill really using "Deadly Needle Stab" after harvesting, facing Dragonite.
However.
Natsuhiko didn't intend to let Beedrill face Dragonite, his choice was....
Direct Charge Drill!
At this moment, Charizard is on the ground!
Boom!!!
This is a fight between raging flames and a stubborn insect.
This is the presentation of a scene like a moth to a flame.
This is the final struggle of the two Pokémon!
Both fell to the ground.
This battle was far more brutal than the audience imagined.
And next.
Lance, who owned the Quasi-God Speed Dragon, seemed to have a considerable advantage.
But Natsuhiko, holding Alakazam's Pokeball, didn't have the slightest intention of giving up, continuously sending psychic power into the Pokeball.
Why did he choose to expose psychic power?
One of the most important reasons.
His psychic power fused with Alakazam's psychic power might indeed have a chance against Lance's Dragonite.
And this was also his last card without exposing Mega evolution.
Actually, to be frank, even if Beedrill Mega-evolved, it might not perform better than just now.
In the previous battle, the "Sniper" trait was evidently more compatible than the "Adaptability" trait.
Now.
"Brotherly Rupture 1.0" ushers in an upgrade!
