"Bingbing!!"
Vanilluxe seemed to sense Xiao Du's attack and almost instinctively breathed out a blast of cold air.
Icy Wind!
A freezing current shot forward. But the instant it swept toward Xiao Du, he gave a single beat of his wings and slipped past it. His silver-white stinger came down on Vanilluxe's head.
[Ding! Beedrill (70) defeated Vanilluxe (62). Permanent Quest 1 completed. The opponent's level was lower than your Pokémon's. Congratulations, host! You received 62 Points, and Beedrill's growth level increased slightly!]
[Ding! The target was identified as an objective of Short-Term Quest 17 Team Selection. You received an additional 620 Points and another slight increase to Beedrill's growth level!]
Vanilluxe had Base Stats that rivaled a Pseudo-Legendary's, along with the boost from Eternal Freeze Power (Weak).
But against Xiao Du, who was higher-level, had better stats, and possessed stronger abilities, Vanilluxe was still helpless.
"Holy shit! The captain's Vanilluxe went down in one hit?"
The first to cry out was none other than Lai Guanting, who had just stepped down from the command platform.
As the team's vice-captain and its strongest member after Ling Qingying, he had thought he understood her strength better than anyone.
That was precisely why he was so shocked.
By his reckoning, Ling Qingying's Vanilluxe had a good chance of earning a Badge even if it challenged a City Gym.
Yet a Pokémon that strong, just like his own, could not withstand a single move!
It was unbelievable!
Liu Yizhong, Ling Ruijie, and the others found it just as unbelievable.
Especially Ling Ruijie.
Having seen Mu Yun fight before, he could hardly believe this was the same Beedrill he had seen only a few months ago.
Xiao Du had been strong then, but nowhere near this incomprehensibly
