Bzz...
The air shook violently.
As Yanmega's wings beat at high frequency, invisible shock waves surged outward in every direction.
A savage, ancient ferocity kept erupting from its body.
"Yah-yoh!!!"
With a low roar and a flick of its wings, Yanmega flew right up to Togekiss!
Cynthia smiled in admiration at the sight.
"Apparently, given the sheer numbers of Bug Pokémon, each population produces a larva once every ten years that can break through its own limits from birth. Once that larva fully matures, its strength and ferocity far surpass those of its kind..."
Studying Yanmega, Cynthia asked curiously,
"I take it... this one is a Bug King?"
Aaron raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded with a smile.
"As expected of Miss Cynthia. You even know about that..."
Aaron looked at Yanmega with a tender smile and said softly,
"This one is indeed a Bug King!"
"The greatest weakness of Bug Pokémon is their short lifespan, but fortunately, they grow quickly and reproduce relatively easily. That's why Bug Pokémon keep breeding throughout their limited lives, pooling their entire population's strength to nurture a single offspring with immense potential!"
"That effort and accumulation begin at the genetic level..."
Aaron smiled.
"I love Bug Pokémon's resilience and refusal to yield. I admire their tenacity and defiance!"
"To me, catching a Bug King and growing alongside it is the happiest thing imaginable!"
"Yah-yoh!"
Sensing Aaron's feelings, Yanmega returned to its partner's side, let out a cry, and gently nudged him with its head.
Cynthia's eyes were full of approval as she smiled and said,
"This is a battle worth looking forward to, Mr. Aaron!"
In the stands, Yong was equally eager to see Yanmega's strength.
Back in Eterna City, this one hadn't been nearly so large...
