The Flareon traits of Flint is "Flash Fire".
This was something Natsu understood when he watched videos and previous materials about Flint's battle.
The Flareon Trait "Flash Fire" would be a Trump Card in the Fire-Type Civil War, but against Beedrill, this Trait won't do much to be honest.
Flareons also have the Characteristics of "Guts". When it falls into the Status Condition, its attack power will greatly increase.
When matched with "Toxic Orb", it can make Flareon's frontal blast power deliver a terrifying boost, which can be used as a tactical endpoint in "Baton Pass" tactics. If matched well, it can become the core of a team.
It should be lucky that Flint's Flareon isn't a "Guts" Characteristic Trait, otherwise the Beedrill Type Bug would be very, very hard to beat.
Although it's hard to beat now.
Attribute restraint, power suppression, even if Beedrill gets the blessing of "Fell Stinger", there is still a big gap after all.
this round.
I'm afraid Flint will win.
This is the mind of almost everyone.
Even those who have the most confidence in Natsu feel that the key to Beedrill versus Flareon isn't to defeat him, but how much damage it can do and how much advantage it can give the next Pokémon.
Even.
Even Natsu himself, the initial tactical setup, was like that.
But.
This tactical arrangement was canceled in pre-war communications between Natsu and Beedrill.
Beedrill shows no confusion, and is very supportive of Natsu's tactical arrangement.
He is willing to take the greatest responsibility for the team, and is willing to make certain sacrifices for the team when necessary.
But Natsu saw a trace of reluctance well hidden in Beedrill's eyes, deep in his eyes.
Which of Natsu's Pokemon does he know best?
Not Togetic who was closest to Natsu, not Alakazam he brought from the egg, not even Doublade who has a similar personality to him, not to mention Chimchar who just joined the team.
It was Beedrill who had been with him from the bottom and had been through the toughest times together.
Beedrill What character is Natsu most familiar with.
It doesn't even say it.
But ever since Kadabra evolved into Alakazam and his strength had reached Gym Leader level, Beedrill's training concentration, attitude towards battle, requirements for himself, and even individual training, everything, Natsu saw it all.
It's like Beedrill's desire to grow up with him since he was weak.
Natsu now.
He also wanted to go crazy with Beedrill this time.
Though.
It is possible to lose the game.
But Beedrill is more important than the competition.
Besides, Agatha already has a bottom line.
So.
"Show yourself as much as you want, Beedrill." Natsu muttered under his breath.
Even though he didn't show it, even his expression didn't change, but Flint on the opposite side felt a flame gradually burning Natsu's heart.
"I take back what I said earlier, Natsu."
"en?"
Flint smirked, clenched his fists, and said with a smile, "You're very excited too!"
He could sense the change in Natsu's mentality.
The battle is near.
"Beedrill, Sword Dance!"
"Beer!!"
In order to protect himself from a Gym Leader-level Flareon, Beedrill had to at least make sure he had enough Aggressive.
Simply put, at least make your own attacks a sufficient threat to Flareon!
Beedrill was so excited now that she didn't want to see Natsu disappointed.
So.
Whuus——
The extremely arrogant breath escaping from Beedrill's body, wrapped in a layer of "Sword Dance" breath, actually Made Beedrill look a little more domineering.
"Oh? 'Boss Breath'? This Beedrill is definitely a Pokemon Trainer, so there's still one like that?"
Inside the private room, several Elite Four who were watching the match, Of course, they all noticed the changes in Beedrill.
"While it's a bit irrational, Pokemon isn't something that can be measured with common sense, is it?" Drake said with a smile.
"These two teenagers are on fire." Alder is sitting straight facing a match in this tournament for the first time.
The corner of Agatha's lips twitched. She felt like she knew Natsu a little bit less.
Doing things sanely most of the time.
But sometimes surprising choices are made.
Like the last time Natsu ordered her Haunter to sneak attack an Elite tier Trainer, it helped her turn the tide of battle to some extent.
While this choice may seem inconceivable to others, Agatha feels that Natsu must have a lot of confidence.
It's just that this grip is a bit confusing in the eyes of others.
Natsu: ? ? ?
"More than passion, how could we possibly lose! Flareon, Flare Blitz!"
Flint did it with gusto.
"Faan!!"
Flareon didn't hesitate at all. He stepped forward with all his strength, and was instantly enveloped by red gold flames.
A pitch-black scorch was left on the ground where he passed.
After all, Flareon is a Pokémon that was later replaced, and Beedrill still has time to deal with the "Sword Dabce" boost when it ends.
Whoos——
Beedrill's wings trembled slightly, and the same illusory shadows appeared around his body.
Double team!
Support Beedrill to protect Flareon, but don't be rash.
However.
Flareon's sense of smell was very sensitive, his nose twitched slightly, but after a moment's hesitation, he discovered the location of Beedrill's real body.
Natsu narrowed his eyes.
Since you can't avoid it, you can only do it too.
"Drill Run!"
"Beer!"
Beedrill breathed deeply, instinctively used "Focus Energy", and held his breath to concentrate Concentrating, the soft earthy yellow energy of the long needle swung horizontally around him.
Facing the approaching Flareon, he wouldn't flinch.
The Ground Type "Drill Run" move is Beedrill's most advantageous move against Flareon.
The next moment.
Beedrill, wrapped in earthy yellow energy, and Flareon, covered in red gold flames, had their first collision.
bang! !
A loud roar resounded throughout the arena, and the tyrannical power brought about by the impact and collision directly caused a lot of dust to be lifted up in the arena.
It didn't make the audience wait too long, Beedrill's figure flew out of the dust, and Flareon gradually appeared in the dust, shaking his head, he didn't know if Beedrill's straight drill gave him Damage, or because the reflection brought on by "Flare Blitz", made him stagnate for a while. short and failed to catch Beedril.
But anyone with a sharp eye could see that Flareon had the absolute advantage in the collision this time.
Beedrill flew in front of Natsu in complete embarrassment, his chest heaving up and down, his naked eyes burning black, and he was badly injured.
Natsu saw it.
Beedrill is injured.
But his eyes didn't change.
More importantly, the "Boss Breath" in his body became more active.
and pushed.
Beedrill's whole body was full of breath.
Currently.
Natsu realized suddenly.
Beedrill is actually just a step away from the Gym Leader level.
This may be a test for Beedrill, but it is also an opportunity!
Beedrill had been waiting for an opportunity.
If it had been another Pokémon, Natsu probably wouldn't have seen this as an opportunity, but Beedrill was different.
Beedrill evolves through Mega early and feels the Gym Leader's power. What is it like?
In other words, in Natsu's Pokémon, Beedrill is the first to "experience" the power of the Gym Leader level.
Natsu's bond with Beedrill is unquestionable.
So what he was thinking was the same as what Beedrill was thinking right now!
Beedrill turned around, moving towards Natsu gently nodding.
"Beer!"
"Then let's try and see if it falls first or changes first." Natsu raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Use the fiery fire to forge your own iron, and see if you become the first iron essence in a thousand hammers, a hundred refinements, or you can't resist and destroy.
It all depended on whether Beedrill could survive.
"Beer!"
Beedrill, there's no reason to refuse.
"Come on, straight to practice!"
Who is afraid of whom!
