After the attack ended, Beedrill had no awareness of pausing, and in the blink of an eye, had already disappeared near the Shiny Golem.
Too fast!
Flint's expression was grave.
He knew that Beedrill was swift.
But why does it feel like this Beedrill is even faster than the one from a few days ago?
Moreover.
The mastery of energy has also risen another level.
After one "Direct Charge Drill," Metagross needed several breaths to recover from the heavy hit.
"Sword Dance."
At the right moment, Beedrill, keeping its distance from Metagross, surrounded by a fierce "Sword Array," significantly enhanced its attack power.
By this time, Metagross had just recovered.
The advantage was already obvious.
Metagross, having fought three consecutive battles, had expended a considerable amount of stamina.
It was last interfered with by Togekiss's "Triple Attack," which led to a state of "Paralysis," making its already disadvantaged speed its biggest shortcoming.
More importantly.
After Natsuhiko successfully "tricked" Metagross into using its "Z Move," the threat to Beedrill was minimized.
However.
Flint had no intention of giving up.
He just whispered, "Stay calm, breathe deeply, keep your eyes on Beedrill, we still have one last chance."
Metagross responded to Flint's persistence with its own attitude.
Natsuhiko squinted his eyes.
The next second.
Beedrill flapped its wings again.
The arc reappeared.
The vast stadium was left with winding and twisting lines.
The speed at which the current dissipated couldn't keep up with Beedrill's movement speed.
It was as if a net was being quietly woven.
"This is..."
By the time Flint reacted, it was already too late.
"Power Grid!"
The huge Power Grid, specially prepared for Metagross, descended like a dome, enveloping and constraining it.
Immediately.
Beedrill appeared in the sky of the stadium.
Straight down.
Speed continuously increased, rising frantically.
A dark red aura woven by Leader Aura and Overlord Aura appeared around Beedrill's body.
Its fierce scarlet compound eyes locked on.
Flint gritted his teeth.
"Metagross, your last Ultimate Impact!"
One from top to bottom, one from bottom to top.
With the Help of "Ultimate Impact," Metagross broke free from the constraint of the "Power Grid."
It was like a collision and convergence between meteors.
Boom——!!!
The entire stadium emitted a muffled sound under the pressure, causing everyone's ankles to tingle.
The stadium, which originally had a "rescue" chance, was at this moment completely reduced to dust in the terrifying collision.
Bang!
After the collision, the intertwined figures fell vertically.
Dust rose up again.
Who won?
The spectators couldn't help but crane their necks, anxious.
The next moment.
"Ssshaa——!!"
A strong wind arose.
The airflow stirred by the wings blew away all the dust.
Beedrill stood commanding the whole stadium, located in the center.
While Flint's Shiny Golem lay amidst the ruins, having lost its ability to fight.
"Metagross has lost its fighting capability, Flint's Pokémon have all lost their fighting capability, so the winner is... Natsuhiko!!"
Boom!!
The stadium erupted into cheers.
These were not just for Natsuhiko, but also for Flint.
Thanking them for being able to present such a spectacular match.
"Let's congratulate Natsuhiko!! And also thank Flint!!"
It finally ended.
Natsuhiko exhaled heavily.
Looking up, he saw Flint across from him also letting out a breath.
Both were momentarily stunned.
Then they smiled at each other.
In this battle.
They really had a great time.
For them, in the end, the result of the match seemed no longer so important.
They walked towards each other, in agreement.
Embracing amidst the ruins.
Praising each other in the midst of the audience's thunderous cheers.
"Natsuhiko, you're really impressive, I'm wholeheartedly convinced," Flint said gratefully, patting Natsuhiko's back.
And Natsuhiko just smiled and said:
"A bit of a tactical advantage, otherwise it would've been hard to say."
This was the truth.
If Natsuhiko hadn't initially used the "Insect Monkey" strategy to catch Flint off guard.
With Flint's powerful Shiny Golem and his long-hidden Tyranitar, without resorting to Super Evolution, Natsuhiko really had no absolute confidence in securing victory.
"A tactical advantage is indeed part of the battle," Flint said in reply.
He was genuinely convinced.
If according to Natsuhiko's statement, wouldn't Flint's "Money Power" also be an advantage?
Natsuhiko curled his lips and stopped being modest.
He simply said, "Wait a minute, I think we should sit down and talk."
Flint paused, seemingly understanding Natsuhiko's intention.
"Alright."
