This was a complete Beedrill training manual.
Moreover, it was the only one in the entire Pokémon World—and the best one.
Xia Yan had no idea just how strong Giovanni's Beedrill was, nor had he ever seen it.
But it was definitely not weak.
Even after Lance became Champion, Giovanni's Beedrill could still easily suppress Lance's ace Dragonite. That was the best proof.
And that was without using Mega Evolution.

Then how was one supposed to advance from the Elite Four-level to Champion-level?
He did not know either.
But now,
Giovanni's book recorded how to raise an Elite Four-level Beedrill to the Champion-level.
It also described the traits and differences beyond the Elite Four-level.
