"Bzz!!"
Through their Aura link, Xiao Du seemed to sense the rare surge of anger in Mu Yun's heart. A cold glint flashed in his red eyes.
"Beedrill? Hah. Is that all?"
Xu Jianli felt he had made too much of this.
If he had known his opponent would lead with cannon fodder, he would not have sent Excadrill out first.
What a waste of Stamina.
As Xu Jianli scoffed inwardly, the referee called out again. "Both Pokémon are in position. Begin!"
He did not even say the challenger could attack first.
They were not even trying to keep up appearances!
Mu Yun did not mind. With no cameras recording, his opponent had given him an opening.
"Excadrill, take him down!"
Without a camera pointed at him, Xu Jianli saw no reason to keep up the act. He looked at Mu Yun with open mockery.
Even if it was only a Beedrill, Mu Yun must have raised him for a long time. If the Pokémon was crippled or killed in an instant, it would hurt him for ages!
Hahahaha!
The thought eased some of his resentment over having Beldum "stolen" from him.
"Drill!!"
A pained cry suddenly rang out.
Xu Jianli looked over. Beedrill had somehow flown from the other side of the field to where Excadrill had been standing.
As for Excadrill?
Xu Jianli searched left and right, then his pupils contracted.
At the edge of the field lay a creature drenched in dark purple venom, barely breathing.
Its life was already slipping away.
