Scyther grew anxious as it realized it was gradually falling behind. It forcefully swung its twin blades, sending Beedrill flying back and temporarily creating distance between them.
Immediately, it flew swiftly around Beedrill, using the Double Team move.
Afterimages appeared one after another, finally solidifying into dozens of Scyther, surrounding Beedrill.
It was truly difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
The clones moved simultaneously, flying towards Beedrill. Beedrill had no choice; it couldn't tell which was real and which was fake.
It could only avoid direct confrontation with Scyther as much as possible, frantically flapping its wings and using the Agility move to continuously dodge the attacks from these Scyther.
As a result, Beedrill's stamina was also being constantly depleted.
However, while Scyther could deceive Beedrill, it couldn't deceive Giovanni's Power of Viridian. A green light flashed in Giovanni's eyes, and then his mouth moved twice.
Although no sound was emitted, Beedrill seemed to hear Giovanni's words.
It tilted its head slightly, quickly locking onto Scyther's true location.
Poison Jab!
Beedrill unleashed this move without hesitation. The stingers on its tail instantly concentrated a large amount of venom, which surged out like a torrent, striking towards Scyther's true body.
Scyther hadn't expected Beedrill to so easily pinpoint its true form.
It raised its twin blades and swung them fiercely, a flash of light appearing—it was the Slash move.
The intense Poison Jab move was completely split open by Scyther, the venom dividing into two halves and flying to either side. Although some venom inevitably dripped onto Scyther's body,
emitting sizzling noises and producing wisps of white smoke, it was generally acceptable.
However, Beedrill's attack was far from over!
Pin Missile!
Under the enhancement of the Swarm Ability, Pin Missile's power surged!
Missiles shot out, carrying powerful destructive force towards Scyther.
Scyther, having just blocked Beedrill's Poison Jab, had no time to dodge!
A series of explosions rang out, directly blowing the area open, which ironically gave Beedrill and Scyther more room to unleash their attacks.
When the explosions subsided, Scyther was covered in wounds, and even the twin blades it used as a shield were somewhat dulled.
Scyther let out an angry roar, its aura condensing—it was the Hone Claws move!
Beedrill, unwilling to show weakness, also let out a cry and used the Hone Claws move!
They both used their respective moves: X-Scissor! Bug Bite!
Scyther's twin blades cut out a cross, bringing forth sharp blade energy! And Beedrill's twin stingers swung, making a whistling sound like an insect's cry as they cut through the air!
Clang!!!
The sharp twin stingers and the keen twin blades collided, producing intense sparks!
Following the initial collision, their encounter turned into a furious clash: Fury Attack against Fury Cutter!
This no longer looked like a Senior Level versus Gym Leader Level battle; instead, it resembled a clash between two top-tier Gym Leader Level Pokémon.
Bang!
Beedrill's full-power strike directly sent Scyther flying.
It clacked its twin stingers, intending to use the Endeavor move to finish off Scyther!
However, Scyther sensed Beedrill's threat. After steadying itself, its twin blades crossed, and energy continuously condensed—it was the powerful Hyper Beam move!
That immensely powerful beam shot towards Beedrill, and if it were to hit, it would truly be a problem.
Beedrill didn't dare to take the hit directly and could only continuously flap its wings, beginning to dodge frantically!
Although Hyper Beam was incredibly powerful, it couldn't keep up with Beedrill's extreme speed. When Scyther's energy was exhausted,
Beedrill immediately used the U-turn move!
Its already fast speed surged again, transforming into a golden streak that instantly turned back and appeared before Scyther!
Its massive twin stingers were enveloped in a thick layer of potent venom. The dark purple twin stingers swung—it was the Poison Jab move.
Scyther hurriedly used the Double Hit move, using offense as defense!
The moves of both sides collided, and Scyther was once again corroded by the poison, letting out a painful cry.
Under the invasion of the poison, Scyther's body began to sway, but its fighting spirit remained undiminished; this was the unique resilience of Bug-type Pokémon.
Scyther flapped its wings and flew high. Its wings, like sharp blades, cut through the air with a whistling sound, striking towards Beedrill.
Wing Attack!
This strike was not only extremely fast but also incredibly powerful, attempting to instantly break Beedrill's offensive.
Agility!
However, Beedrill once again burst forth with astonishing speed, transforming into a golden lightning bolt, cleverly dodging Scyther's Wing Attack, and instantly appearing in Scyther's blind spot.
Then came its strongest move!
Fell Stinger!
Its twin stingers glinted with a cold light, carrying immense power and the most special effect: all-out effort!
A hint of unwillingness flashed in Scyther's eyes, but it was already too late.
Splat!
The sound of blades piercing flesh rang out.
Scyther was too weak to even let out a cry. A massive wound was pierced through its body, and its blood-gushing form fell from above.
Scyther was defeated.
"Screech!" After defeating Scyther, Beedrill's aura not only didn't weaken but grew even stronger.
This was the effect of Fell Stinger: as long as Beedrill defeated enough Pokémon and its physique could withstand it, it could unleash infinite possibilities.
This was one of the factors that would allow Beedrill to contend with a Level 1 God in the future.
Below, Captain Price, who had already been steadily retreating, turned ashen when he saw Scyther also fall.
He looked at Giovanni, who was slowly approaching with his blade, and at Giovanni's cold face, and finally felt fear.
Clutching his severed arm, he endured the intense pain and begged Giovanni, "Sir, no, Boss, I am willing to pledge my loyalty to you, truly! I swear I will never betray you."
"Heh, coming from you?" Giovanni said with disdain.
Captain Price's strength was still decent, and his severed arm could be reattached with the medical standards of the Pokémon World.
However, Giovanni had no intention of keeping someone who had betrayed Petrel and defied Madame Boss. "Unfortunately, my subordinates don't need traitors."
Watching Giovanni slowly raise his long blade, its cold light shining on his face, Captain Price screamed in terror:
"Tauros, save me!"
The besieged Tauros, risking severe injury, endured the attacks from Persian and the others, smashing through walls as it charged towards them.
However, a golden figure descended rapidly from above, its raised stinger seemingly perfectly synchronized with the long blade in Giovanni's hand!
As both the long blade and the stinger fell!
Crimson blood splattered, staining this ruined area red.
