The Poaching Gang members were still going about their business when a blur suddenly shot out from behind them.
By the time their nerves reacted, Beedrill was already at their side.
One of them, a fat man holding a high-tech weapon, saw a Beedrill far more robust than the others suddenly appear before him.
Its red eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the fat man's hair stood on end. He felt infinitely close to death.
Before he could cry out, Beedrill's Twin Needles fiercely stabbed into the high-tech weapon.
With a sizzle, the weapon was ruined. Beedrill then turned and used Pin Missile on the other two Electromagnetic Cannons.
Seeing the Pin Missiles flying their way, the other two hurriedly threw down their Electromagnetic Cannons to save themselves.
All they heard was
"Boom!"
The remaining two Electromagnetic Cannons were destroyed as well.
In just a few seconds, all three Electromagnetic Cannons had been scrapped.
Everyone in the Poaching Gang's expression changed as they inwardly cried out in alarm.
Watching from afar, Eichi clenched his fist and punched the air hard when he saw Beedrill succeed, venting his excitement.
Seeing the Electromagnetic Cannons he had worked so hard to obtain destroyed, Luo Zhi immediately flew into a rage.
Pointing at Beedrill, he ground his teeth and ordered the others, "Kill it!"
Luo Zhi's heart was bleeding. Those were the capital he needed to make money in the future.
Without those three Electromagnetic Cannons, he would have to return to his old life.
With no future in sight, Luo Zhi wanted nothing more than to drink this Beedrill's blood.
He could not call Arbok over yet. Without Arbok's deterrence, Luo Zhi feared that the Pokémon would all escape, and then his losses would be enormous.
Hearing Luo Zhi's order, the others began directing their Pokémon to attack Beedrill.
"Weezing, use Sludge Attack!"
"Pidgeot, use Drill Peck!"
"Geodude, use Rock Throw!"
"Houndoom, use Flamethrower!"
"Primeape, use Scratch!"
Weezing spat out a lump of black sludge and threw it at Beedrill, but Beedrill tilted its body and dodged it.
Then Pidgeot's Drill Peck came at it, but it dodged that as well.
After evading it, Beedrill struck Pidgeot with Twin Needles. Pidgeot let out a miserable cry and immediately lost its ability to battle.
One of the Poaching Gang members cried out in shock, "Pidgeot!"
Beedrill was already known for its speed, and with Eichi's careful training—
It was now as fast as lightning. Houndoom's Flamethrower followed, but Beedrill evaded it with Agility.
Then came the rocks Geodude hurled at it. Beedrill swatted them with its Twin Needles, shattering them into pieces.
Primeape charged out from the cloud of dust and threw a punch straight at Beedrill's head.
Beedrill immediately raised its Twin Needles to shield its head, but Primeape's fist still knocked it back slightly.
Then Beedrill counterattacked, striking Primeape with Fury Attack.
After being hit, Primeape let out an "Awooo!" and collapsed to the ground, unable to move for the time being.
Beedrill then faced the attacks of several Pokémon at once.
To prevent Beedrill from escaping, the furious Poaching Gang had two Zubat use Mean Look on it.
This left Beedrill unable to flee.
Facing the siege of several Pokémon, Beedrill dodged almost all their attacks.
Although it was hit by some moves, Beedrill suffered only minor injuries.
Seeing that the time was right, Eichi ran out and gave Beedrill an order.
"Beedrill, use Fury Attack on Pidgeot!"
Upon hearing the command, Beedrill aimed the Poison Sting on its tail at Pidgeot and charged forward.
Seeing Beedrill attack, Pidgeot tried to dodge, but its reaction was too slow. It was struck head-on and lost its ability to battle amid a shriek.
The defeated Pidgeot fell from the air.
Then Beedrill used Agility again and vanished from sight.
The other Pidgeot had also lost its ability to battle. With both Pidgeot defeated—
"Beedrill, use Pin Missile on all the Pokémon!"
Beedrill halted in midair, placing all the Rattata Poaching Gang's Pokémon within its attack range.
Five sharp needles condensed from the air and flew toward five of the Pokémon.
Then it used Pin Missile again against the other Pokémon.
Beedrill used Pin Missile three times in succession. The attacked Pokémon assumed they were merely ordinary Pin Missiles.
Beedrill had used Pin Missile on them earlier, and its power had not been all that impressive.
They did not think much of it, but they soon regretted it.
This Beedrill's Pin Missiles were unbelievably powerful. Five Pokémon could not withstand them and instantly lost their ability to battle.
The Rattata Poaching Gang members were all stunned. "This Beedrill is way too strong!"
Luo Zhi saw that several of the gang's Pokémon had already been defeated.
Beside himself with rage, Luo Zhi threatened Eichi, "Listen here, you little brat! Tell your Beedrill to stop right now, or you'll regret it!"
Eichi refused with a cold expression. "Impossible. People like you are unforgivable!"
"I'll make you pay!"
Luo Zhi laughed in anger. "You? A little brat like you?"
After saying that, he gave an order to the Arbok that had been watching the ordinary Pokémon from afar.
"Arbok, come back! Use Acid Bomb on Beedrill!"
Arbok slithered back at high speed and sprayed purple liquid from its mouth.
Beedrill dodged the venom at first, but Arbok fired several shots in succession.
Although Beedrill dodged them all, the two Weezing ambushed it from behind at that moment.
Eichi had just wanted to warn Beedrill to dodge, but it was too late.
One Weezing used Smokescreen, while the other used Poison Gas, engulfing Beedrill within them.
After Weezing used Smokescreen, the surroundings were blanketed in smoke, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
After being trapped, Beedrill used its Twin Needles to knock both Weezing out of battle, but it was poisoned as well.
With Beedrill trapped in the smoke, Luo Zhi seized the chance and had Ekans enter the mist to use Thunder Fang on Beedrill.
Within the smoke, Arbok revealed a cruel smile as electricity began to crackle over its fangs.
Unable to escape, Beedrill carelessly took Arbok's Thunder Fang head-on.
Although Beedrill did not lose its ability to battle after being hit, the poison had also drained much of its stamina.
After fighting intensely for so long, Beedrill was beginning to tire, and its movements gradually slowed.
But Beedrill's fighting spirit still burned brightly, its eyes shining. It wanted revenge—especially against this Arbok.
Several Beedrill had died by its hand. Beedrill gathered every bit of its anger toward Arbok into its Twin Needles.
Outside, Eichi sensed Beedrill's emotions and shouted into the mist, "Go, Beedrill!"
Within the smoke, Beedrill drove its Twin Needles into Arbok's body with all its strength.
Outside the smoke, everyone heard Arbok let out a piercing, miserable scream.
