On the field, Beedrill's wingbeats suddenly increased in frequency. Its entire body turned into a yellow-and-black afterimage as it rapidly darted sideways to the right.
"Buzz!!"
Facing the incoming Air Slash, a glint flashed across Beedrill's compound eyes, and the hum of its wings suddenly became sharp and frantic.
Beedrill precisely slipped through the gaps between the Air Slashes, using the disturbances caused by the flying blades to sense the trajectory of each one. It forcibly carved out a path through the dense blockade.
The tiny Air Slashes only managed to strike the afterimages Beedrill left behind. Two it truly could not evade were precisely shattered by its sharp twin stingers, dispersing into fragmented currents of air.
After breaking through the Air Slash blockade, Beedrill did not pause for even a moment. Its twin stingers and tail stinger were simultaneously coated in dark purple Poison-type energy as it charged at Pidgeot at top speed.
Seeing Beedrill break through Air Slash's blockade so easily, Haruki Inoue's gaze sharpened. He immediately commanded, "Pidgeot, Wing Attack."
Pidgeot's wings suddenly folded in midair, and its body became a beige bolt of lightning as it crashed head-on toward the charging Beedrill.
Its right wing tilted slightly as Flying-type energy rapidly condensed across its surface, forming a sharp slash aimed at Beedrill's flight path.
The two streaks of light collided at tremendous speed in the middle of the field. The weaker Beedrill was directly sent flying by Pidgeot's Wing Attack.
It rolled half a turn through the air, rapidly beat its wings, and stabilized itself again, hovering seven or eight meters away from Pidgeot.
Although Beedrill had been knocked away, Pidgeot, which had sent it flying, was not doing well either.
Three clear wounds had appeared where it had collided with Poison Jab. Dark red blood
