Critical Strike Bug is a Crushing Blow: Too Slow, Too Slow
Chapter 73 Critical Strike Bug is a Crushing Blow: Too Slow, Too Slow
"You're asking for it! Get out of my way!"
At this moment, Mewtwo, who was fighting Lucario, let out an angry roar.
It was entangled by Lucario, and its skills were interrupted several times.
The incredibly powerful psychic power formed a semi-transparent light shield that expanded, engulfing Lucario, who was attacking. Not only was Lucario thrown away, but he also crashed heavily to the ground.
Lucario had done its best. Due to the level difference, without the Steel-type resistance, it would have been completely overwhelmed by Mewtwo and unable to fight back.
"It's time for you to make your appearance, go, Mega Beedrill!" With a sharp look in her eyes, Natsuki used her Aura to maintain a constant connection with Mega Beedrill.
At this moment, Natsume's emotions were fully transmitted to Mega Beedrill, including Mega Beedrill's own emotions, and he already had the idea of making Mewtwo look bad.
How could a teammate tolerate Lucario being so badly suppressed?
The super-sized bees shot out at a speed so fast that they were invisible to the naked eye.
After Mega Evolution, the base Speed stat has reached 145 points.
At that moment, under Mewtwo's powerful psychic control, Lucario was lifted into the air. Despite Lucario's strength, it had nowhere to resist and could not break free.
"This is what happens when you help humans. Your efforts are worthless in their eyes." As Mewtwo finished speaking, its psychic powers were about to inflict secondary damage on Lucario's psyche.
In that instant, a black and yellow figure appeared in front of them.
A cross-shaped scissor cut was made.
A deafening boom!
The terrifying cross-shaped shears struck like a tangible energy blade, creating a cross shape that hit Mewtwo in the chest.
Not only is it incredibly effective, but it also hits the vital points, and this Bug-type STAB move doubles in power with its ability.
Even though the power of the cross-shaped scissors isn't high, the damage it inflicts on Mewtwo is real.
Overwhelming speed, giving Mewtwo no chance to react, and type advantage, doubling the damage again and again.
Mewtwo was blasted to the ground, causing a massive explosion with billowing smoke, demonstrating its terrifying power.
Lucario was able to break free from the constraints of his psychic powers thanks to the intervention of Mega Beedrill.
After returning to the ground, it took several deep breaths to catch its breath before thanking the giant Beedrill.
As Natsuki's Pokémon, they knew from the beginning that Natsuki had decided who would battle Mewtwo.
Although Lucario was very dissatisfied because it could also Mega Evolve, Natsuki never intended for it to battle Mewtwo from the beginning.
At this moment, Lucario also understood why Natsume made this choice. Although they had only followed Natsume for twenty days, they had already mastered the type advantages and disadvantages. Sending Beedrill to fight Mewtwo was clearly the best choice.
In particular, Mewtwo is so powerful that none of them can easily defeat it in a one-on-one fight.
This is under the premise of Mega Evolution.
Lucario knew he couldn't beat Mewtwo.
"Luca~~Luca~~" (Lord Natsuki, I've disappointed you.)
Lucario retreated to Natsuki's side and said something remorseful that deeply moved Natsuki.
"No! Lucario, you've already done a great job. That guy was created using Mew's genes, so in a sense, it's no weaker than a legendary Pokémon. So you don't need to feel guilty," Natsuki reassured him.
Immediately afterward, he checked on the situation with Mega Beedrill and, knowing that Mewtwo hadn't recovered yet, quickly took out a full pack of medicine to treat Lucario.
He helped her recover, and then negotiated with Dream again: "I'm going to get serious now, so don't turn against me at the crucial moment."
Just in case, Xia Mu gave Meng Huan a heads-up.
He had witnessed the battle just now, so he had roughly figured out that Mewtwo's strength was not invincible.
At least in its current state, Natsuki is absolutely confident of defeating Mewtwo.
No matter how amazing your superpowers are, or how powerful your abilities are, the base number will not change.
So what if it has the potential of a legendary Pokémon? It's still a Pokémon that hasn't fully grown up.
While ordinary Pokémon may not be able to compare in certain abilities, that doesn't mean their strength is necessarily unsurpassable.
"Mimi~~Mimi~~" (Are you really going to tame it, Natsuki?)
The dreamy, clear voice startled Xia Mu; this was the first time the dreamy voice had addressed him so formally.
Xia Mu nodded and said, "Given the current situation, if I don't subdue and suppress it, this matter won't be resolved so easily. By subduing it, I might be able to help it transform, from accepting the world to coming into contact with more people and things. When it truly understands the meaning of life one day, it won't be as extreme as it is now. In short, you can rest assured that I will not use it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Dream responded immediately: "Alright then, but you must not hurt it. Dream can sense its inner feelings, and it is actually in a lot of pain."
"Okay." Xia Mu nodded in promise.
At the same time, Mewtwo's figure suddenly shot into the sky from within the thick smoke.
Despite being hit by the cross-cutting shears, I wasn't instantly knocked down like in the game.
The real world is just different; the difference between a first-level god and an ordinary elf is ridiculously large.
If it were any other Psychic-type, it would have been wiped out by that critical hit.
"You've really angered me, time and time again! Now it's you, you bug!" Mewtwo's eyes turned red, and a purple aura surrounded its entire body, stirring up the thunder in the sky.
A storm raged, and dark clouds loomed overhead.
How terrifying this scene is!
However, even so, it's just a superficial effort.
"Buzz~!" (All you do is talk big?)
Mega Beedrill's pinpoint accuracy, coupled with its arrogant tone, infuriated Mewtwo.
With a flick of his wrists, a barrage of Shadow Balls was unleashed.
I had previously seen Mewtwo use this move against Mew, and I thought it was because it was attacking Mew based on type advantage.
It seems that this is not the case now.
Or perhaps Mewtwo was blinded by anger and launched this meaningless attack.
Mega Beedrill is indeed very fragile, but Shadow Ball is definitely not enough to instantly kill or defeat it.
Moreover, this kind of speed attack is completely ineffective against a super-powerful needle.
"Buzz~~ Buzz~~" (Too slow, too slow, too slow! Faster!)
Mega Beedrill moved through the sky in a way that was impossible to see, almost like teleportation. In contrast, Mewtwo's Shadow Ball could only hit Beedrill's afterimage.
Such a scene is truly awe-inspiring.
Mewtwo's power was deeply impressive from the very beginning, captivating everyone present.
Seeing Mewtwo being toyed with by a Beedrill that has evolved again, everyone's emotions have become excited.
"Wow, that's amazing! So amazing!" Xiaoxia was the first to speak.
Xiao Gang and Xiao Zhi, who were standing next to her, were also saying things like "Incredible" and "I really want to catch one and raise it too."
The man stared in disbelief, muttering to himself, "I used to think that the house bugs were weak and not worth raising, but I never imagined they could be this strong."
"Me too. My past understanding was incredibly foolish. I just didn't know how to cultivate them," Hai Nan chimed in.
"I always thought that was Xia Mu's full strength, but every time we meet, he surprises me." Xiao Tian thought that Xia Mu had such strength because he had been hiding it all along.
In addition, Xia Mu has been accepting challenges from others and fighting hundreds of battles a day. Xiao Tian subconsciously realized that if he didn't have this strength, how could he sustain such high-intensity battles?
Little Sweetie had no idea that the reason Xia Mu became so strong so quickly was entirely because Xia Mu had a cheat simulator, which made his training much simpler and more direct.
Sonia remained silent, but her mind was racing: [This evolution...it seems to be the Mega Evolution that the people in the Carlos region have been researching. Xia Mu actually mastered this method? How did he do it?]
……
Because Mewtwo and Mega Beedrill went to war.
The original Pokémon and its clones were silently observing the battle.
The clone Pokémon don't actually want to fight. The reason they fight the original Pokémon in the original story is entirely due to the antagonistic influence of Mewtwo and Mew, which led to them projecting their own experiences onto the original Pokémon and ultimately turning it into a war between the clones and the originals.
The reason the original author hated replicas in the original work was to protect his own position.
Under the current circumstances, the war from the original story will not happen again.
As long as Xia Mu is here, he will definitely stop them from engaging in meaningless hand-to-hand combat.
"Stop playing around, Mega Beedrill! Show it a thing or two!" With that command, Xia Mu mentally gave Mega Beedrill the order as well.
In the game, Pokémon may become disobedient if you don't have enough badges or your trainer level is too low, but this won't happen in the real world.
Because Natsuki is strong enough, and it is because of him that his Pokémon has this strength.
Both are capable of Mega Evolution, and their intimacy level exceeds 200 points. With just this one point, their relationship has reached the point of being inseparable and bound by life and death, and they will never disobey.
[Successive Slashes!!]
Upon receiving Xia Mu's command, the Super Beedrill's eyes flashed red, and its majestic and powerful posture displayed the oppressive presence of a Bug King.
In an instant, Mega Beedrill launched an attack after dodging Mewtwo's Shadow Ball.
The combo attack doesn't have a high single-hit power index, but each successful hit and consecutive hits on the target will double the power value.
Natsuki used this move to test the physical attack limit of Mega Beedrill.
In the game, combos are often interrupted because they are not powerful enough to kill the opponent instantly, resulting in the player being killed instantly, or because the opponent is killed after two hits, causing the damage to accumulate.
But things are different in the real world now; the opponent is still Mewtwo.
If you use the speed of Mega Beedrill, as long as you are not caught by Mewtwo's psychic abilities, the power of the combo can be increased from 40 points to 80 points, and then from 80 points to 160 points!
It appears to be a low-level Bug-type move, but it is actually the strongest physical attack of the Bug type.
Despite Mewtwo's high speed, it is still far behind Mega Beedrill's speed.
When its consecutive strikes hit, Mega Beedrill is truly like a sharp sword, capable of piercing through anything.
Mewtwo was injured again and let out a muffled groan of pain.
However, this attack still couldn't defeat it. This fact truly shocked Xia Mu and made him even more certain that a divine beast is indeed a divine beast.
Mewtwo is already this difficult to deal with. I wonder what level of power it will reach after it gets stronger?
What level of power would the other first-tier gods possess?
For example, the several gods from Shinonome who left the deepest impression on Natsuki.
Let's not even talk about Arceus, the creator god.
Take Dialga, the god of time; Palkia, the god of space; and Giratina, the master of the Reverse World…
OK.
"boom!!!"
Just as Xia Mu was lost in thought, his second consecutive strike hit Mewtwo.
The terrifying impact sent Mewtwo crashing into the stands at the edge of the arena, shattering the buildings there.
Mewtwo was severely injured; the power of the attack took a toll on it for a while.
The giant Beedrill's attack was not over yet; its third consecutive slash raised its momentum to an unprecedented level.
Even against opponents of a higher level, it seems they can kill with a single blow.
At this critical moment, everyone believed that Mewtwo was powerless to resist and was about to be defeated.
Mew suddenly teleported and appeared in front of Mewtwo.
He used Guard to block the third slash of Super Beedrill.
The giant Beedrill was stunned, and Xia Mu was also momentarily dumbfounded.
The thing I was most worried about still happened.
He had a premonition of this beforehand, and even being warned didn't help.
Although Dream meant well and didn't want to see too many casualties, its intervention made the battle lose its original meaning.
To be honest, Xia Mu had developed feelings of dissatisfaction with the dream.
This isn't the first time; strictly speaking, this is the third time that Dream has broken their promise.
Unfortunately, it's a fantasy world, otherwise Xia Mu really wouldn't want to say another word.
The only explanation is that Dreamy's personality is like a child's; whenever something happens that it doesn't want to see, it will act involuntarily.
Not only Natsume and Mega Beedrill, but everyone and every Pokémon present looked at Mew.
Everyone wants an answer.
"Buzz~~" (Are you going to interfere, Dream?)
"Mimi~~" (Please wait a moment, Beedrill.)
Mew first stopped Mega Beedrill from attacking again, then turned to look at the heavily injured Mewtwo, his eyes filled with pity.
To it, Mewtwo was already one of its own kind.
"Mimi~~Miyo~~Miyo Miyo~~" (You lost this battle. Do you want to continue fighting? Even if you continue fighting, the result won't change. You still can't control your power, so you can't defeat Beedrill and Natsuki.)
Mew's words are understood by Pokémon and by Natsume.
As for the others, Meow Meow acted as the best translator, at least letting everyone know the meaning of Dream.
They persuaded Mewtwo to admit defeat, and everyone's emotions were somewhat calmed down.
Xia Mu also breathed a sigh of relief; at least Meng Huan didn't say anything that really offended him.
……
P.S.: The cooler and CPU will arrive tomorrow, so I can get back to writing quickly.
I'm really not used to laptops, and they're laggy.
