Chapter 208: Dragonite
Just how terrifying was Beedrill's speed?
...
Haxorus was sent flying, tumbling several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop.
"Haxorus!!!" Drago shouted, his eyes fixed intently on his fallen dragon. Wrinkles of worry deepened on his weathered face.
Hearing Drago's voice, Haxorus struggled, trying to push itself up from the ground. Its movements were incredibly slow and labored.
Thud!!! —
The toxins in its body were constantly eating away at its stamina. On top of that, it had just taken a STAB Fell Stinger directly to its unprotected back.
Honestly, the fact that it hadn't fainted instantly was purely due to Haxorus's sheer willpower holding it together.
But even willpower had its limits. With a muffled thud, Haxorus collapsed back onto the ground, unable to rise again. It had lost consciousness.
"Haxorus is unable to battle!! Beedrill wins the round!!"
...
Ding!! [War's Treasures] Triggered!! Congratulations Host on obtaining an extra reward: Champion Duplicator (Neeko) x1!!
The System notification rang in Kenji's ear.
Kenji froze for a second, then was overcome with ecstasy.
Champion Duplicator!!!
Finally! It finally dropped!!
The rewards for winning a Champion-level battle were naturally much richer than those for Elite-level battles.
Plus, since Beedrill had defeated a Champion-level Haxorus while still being at Elite/Master level (Level 86), the loot drop was spectacular. The [War's Treasures] augment didn't disappoint—dropping a Greater Neeko on the very first match!!!
As expected, if you want to get rich, you have to bring Beedrill into high-elo matches.
It was a pity that trainers with Champion-level Pokémon were few and far between in all of Huaxia.
Only figures at the level of provincial Gym Leaders would possess Champion-level Pokémon.
And even then, only the top-tier Gym Leaders.
For example, Tyson Tang of the Metropolis Gym didn't have any Champion-level Pokémon yet.
This was mainly because Tyson was still young. Give him a few more years, and with the potential of his main team plus his meticulous training, breaking through to Champion level shouldn't be a problem.
While Kenji was still buzzing with excitement over the Neeko drop, Drago silently recalled Haxorus.
His main Pokémon had been defeated effortlessly by Beedrill in just two exchanges. And Beedrill hadn't even Mega Evolved!
Drago glanced at the prominent Mega Stone worn by Beedrill. He knew Kenji's ace hadn't used its full strength yet.
To have his main partner beaten so easily by a junior's Pokémon who wasn't even going all out... to say it wasn't humiliating would be a lie.
Drago's expression grew solemn. He threw his second Poké Ball.
"Go!!! My old partner!!!!"
"RWOOAAAA!!!! —"
The red light shot from the ball, not toward the ground, but into the sky.
The light faded.
A round, bipedal, orange-bodied Pokémon with small wings on its back—looking very much like a friendly dragon cartoon character—appeared in the air above the battlefield.
Upon entry, it let out a resonant dragon roar.
One of the three Pseudo-Legendaries of Huaxia!!! Dragonite!!!!
Although its appearance lacked aggression, it was undeniably a powerhouse with a terrifying base stat total of 600.
[Dragonite]
Gender: Female
Level: 93
Type: Dragon / Flying
Ability: Multiscale (Reduces damage taken when HP is full.)
Potential: A+
To obtain this A+ Potential Dragonite, Drago had endured immense hardships passing the trials of Dragon Island.
Dragon Island, located near Formosa (Taiwan), was an island shrouded in mystery.
It was home to the Dragonite line, hence the name.
Unauthorized entry to Dragon Island was strictly forbidden.
Every year, only those who gained the approval of the Dragonite Guardian Clan on the island received an invitation, granting them the right to set foot on its shores.
And even after landing, one had to undergo a series of complex trials for a chance to obtain a Dratini.
Back then, Drago spent five full years completing the trials to get this Dratini.
And this Dratini, obtained through blood and sweat, did not disappoint him. It grew into the absolute pillar of Drago's team.
Although its level was one lower than Haxorus, its actual combat strength was slightly superior.
"Rwooaa!! —"
Dragonite roared. Although the Pokédex listed its Speed stat as only 80...
Base stats were complex calculations. Speed didn't just refer to movement speed; it included reaction time and energy channeling speed.
In terms of pure flight speed, Dragonite was said to be capable of circling the globe in 16 hours, reaching Mach speeds.
