"Beedrill, use Outrage!"
Facing Scizor's Flash Cannon, the Headmaster never gave up resisting. Beedrill's already red compound eyes flared with a crimson, mad glow! Outrage was a Dragon-type move. When a Dragon-type Pokémon became enraged, its scales would flare up, and its powerful fury would seek to destroy everything around it! Beedrill deflected Scizor's massive pincer with one stinger, causing Flash Cannon to miss and explode nearby, kicking up smoke. Its other stinger stabbed directly into Scizor's abdomen, hitting a vital point again and inflicting immense damage! Scizor retreated repeatedly; if not for its Steel-type resistance, it might have already collapsed.
"Outrage, huh? Scizor, meet it with a flurry of Bullet Punches!" Ash, seeing Beedrill's sudden burst of fury, didn't panic in the slightest; instead, he grew excited. This was the Headmaster and Beedrill's final burst of power. After Outrage ended, Beedrill would fall into a state of confusion, its already limited stamina completely depleted, leaving no energy for battle! Ash's task was simply to use Scizor's agile movements to outlast Beedrill's Outrage, thereby winning the battle.
However, Ash deliberately chose not to do so. Instead, he had Scizor use Bullet Punch, directly confronting Beedrill's Outrage! The figures of Scizor and Beedrill vanished!
Clang!
Clang!
Only the sounds of metal clashing remained in the center of the arena. These two Pokémon were battling at an unbelievably high speed! A blue light shimmered around Ash, keeping every detail of the battle firmly under his control. Scizor, relying on its agile movements, parried all of Beedrill's twin stingers, but this was already its limit. As the saying goes, prolonged defense inevitably leads to a slip-up! Scizor, for a moment, was careless, and Beedrill's stinger almost pierced its abdomen.
"Iai Slash!" Ash's command was given in that instant. Scizor's pincers shifted their attack at lightning speed, successfully deflecting the stinger, then delivered a slash to Beedrill! The two finally separated. Scizor, panting heavily, retreated to Ash's side. Beedrill could no longer maintain stable flight. Outrage had passed, and it fell into a state of confusion, spinning in circles on the spot.
And it was at this very moment!
Scizor: 255/255
The light of evolution once again enveloped Scizor! The Bond Evolved Scizor was an astonishing 2.2 meters tall, looking like a warrior from the future. Its forehead seemed to wear a grey-blue war helmet, and it had additional armor on its shoulders. Three savage thorns appeared on its massive pincers. Its upper body seemed quite similar to the familiar Mega Scizor. However, its legs still maintained the appearance of a regular Scizor, just more robust. What made one unable to avert their gaze due to its coolness was the pair of glowing, enormous insect wings that appeared on its back!
Name: Ash's Scizor (♂)
Type: Steel
Ability: Technician (Increases the power of weaker moves when attacking), Light Metal (Halves its own weight)
Moves: (Omitted)
After its bond evolution, Ash's Scizor, surprisingly, became a pure Steel-type, much like Aggron. This granted it numerous resistances while significantly reducing its weaknesses. Coupled with the Light Metal ability, maintaining its high speed, this was the true Red Flash! The super warrior of the Red Flash!
"This?" Both the Headmaster and Aya were stunned, their eyes wide as they stared at Scizor's now magnificent form, unable to speak. Mei, however, was already accustomed to such sights. Seeing the battle ended, she ran to Scizor.
"Scizor, so cool!" Scizor scooped Mei into its arms. Its huge, brilliant insect wings unfurled behind it, and it actually soared into the sky with Mei!
"It's flying?" Aya exclaimed. It was well known that Scizor, after evolving, was too heavy to fly, and its wings primarily served for balance. But Ash's Scizor was flying!
"Haha, we're flying!" Mei cheered joyfully in the air; this was much more fun than a roller coaster.
"Well then, Headmaster, I'm entrusting Scizor to you!" Ash had Scizor retreat. Now that his and Scizor's bond value had reached its peak, if someone was willing to help train his Pokémon, Ash would certainly not refuse.
"Ash, I will teach Scizor all my secret Ninjutsu! Thank you for showing me all the possibilities of Pokémon!" The Headmaster looked at Scizor, his eyes gleaming. He could feel that the Pokémon Ninjutsu he championed would be carried forward by Ash and Scizor!
"Ash, is your battle over?" Misty suddenly appeared. Following Ash's advice, after escaping the beauty course, she had gone to learn the skill of riding a Starmie while waterskiing. Indeed, Misty enthusiastically came to find Ash and Mei, eager to show off the results of her training. With this skill, Misty, as a Water-type Pokémon Trainer, would have greatly enhanced mobility on water.
"Misty big sister is so amazing!" Mei was still a little sad about having to part with Scizor. Ash gently ruffled her golden hair. Her hair had grown a bit longer on their journey, and her appearance was constantly improving. "You'll see it before the Silver Conference!"
"Mm-hmm!"
Bidding farewell to the Pokémon Ninja Academy, Ash and his companions continued on their journey, quickly exiting the forest.
"Ash, once we cross the mountain range ahead, we'll finally reach Ecruteak City!" Brock said, looking at the Johto map in his travel guide. Actually, following their original direction, their journey would have been much flatter. But by making a detour to Brooch Town and then heading to Ecruteak City, they encountered many more mountains along the way. But this was traveling, and the scenery along the way left Ash feeling satisfied.
He had already completed bond evolution for four of his Pokémon. These were Charizard, Houndoom, Slowking, and just a few days ago, Scizor. Currently, Charizard remained in Charicific Valley, training to surpass legendary power! Houndoom and Slowking, one Water and one Fire, one Dark and one Psychic, had organized Ash's Pokémon left at Professor Oak's Laboratory for training, constantly boosting Ash's reserve strength. Scizor remained at the Pokémon Ninja Academy to learn Ninjutsu battle techniques and would return before the Silver Conference.
"Just you wait, Ecruteak Gym, I will definitely get that Badge!"
"And Ho-Oh, I wonder if I'll see you again!"
In Ash's backpack, he still carried the Clear Bell that Suicune had given him on that stormy night!
