Beedrill, Alakazam, Togekiss, Aegislash, plus Monferno, Latios, and Eevee—seven Pokémon in total.
But faced with the current situation, that still seemed a little insufficient.
At least,
the other side had two Sub-Elite Four Pokémon, while Xia Yan only had one.
Numbers were secondary.
With Alakazam as the core of the lineup, under the "Infinite Rotation Defense" system, combined with Beedrill's speed-based finishing ability, Togekiss's control, and Aegislash's defense and damage output, it would not be difficult to pick off weaker Pokémon that were merely making up the numbers.
The greatest strength of Xia Yan's lineup lay in its ability to fight in the wild.
The biggest problem was the two Sub-Elite Four Pokémon.
However,
since Xia Yan had only sent out these Pokémon and had not summoned Oranguru, Snorlax, and the others, it meant he believed this was enough. He was confident enough.
"Buzz!"
Beedrill glared back at the approaching Drapion without hesitation.
Drapion was strong, but to Beedrill, it was simply too slow. That kind of speed posed little threat to it.
Besides, as a Poison-type Pokémon itself, Beedrill feared Poison-type moves the least.
Tap, tap, tap.
Its short but densely packed legs scuttled rapidly across the ground as Scolipede arrived beside Drapion.
At that moment,
the two wild Pokémon stood on the same side.
"Alaka!"
Alakazam, floating in midair, appeared behind Beedrill and offered it the greatest support.
However, Drapion and Scolipede did not think much of an Alakazam that was only Gym Leader-level.
As Xia Yan crouched on the ground, soothing Audino, he made his choice.
Beedrill was already very strong. No one could stop its speed, and whether its finishing ability improved or not made little difference.
If he wanted to raise the overall strength of his current lineup, having Beedrill Mega Evolve was not the
