"Siba!"
After a shrill cry.
Beedrill's figure immediately vanished from midair.
"Such a naive idea."
Ditto Mewtwo's blackish-purple pupils suddenly turned red.
Powerful Psychic energy spread out in an instant.
"Found you."
It raised its left hand and gave it a slight twist.
Beedrill, which had circled behind it and was preparing to attack, froze in midair.
Yet Giovanni showed no concern at all. Instead, he looked eagerly at the Ditto Mewtwo that had suddenly appeared before him. "Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"
Ditto Mewtwo frowned, an intense feeling of disgust rising in its heart. "Human filth. Disgusting."
Immediately.
It raised its right hand, ready to strike Giovanni.
"Underestimating my Beedrill is not a good habit."
Giovanni merely flashed a dangerous smile. "Beedrill, pierce it!"
It was the same command as before.
Yet Ditto Mewtwo's expression changed. "How is that possible?"
"Siba!"
A streak of silver flashed through the air.
At some point, Beedrill had broken free of the Psychic restraint. Its wings buzzed as it stood guard before Giovanni like a knight.
Purple traces on its sharp Twin Needle spoke of its earlier success.
Ditto Mewtwo clutched its waist, cold sweat beading on its forehead.
The next moment.
It used Recover. As White Light enveloped it, it quickly regained its composure.
"It seems I underestimated you."
Ditto Mewtwo acknowledged its mistake.
When it discovered that its opponent was merely a Beedrill, it had indeed been somewhat careless.
In the wild.
Beedrill's strength had never come from individual power, but from swarming together and their fearless ferocity.
It knew full well how powerful Mewtwo was.
Even though it had only been transformed through imitation, Ditto Mewtwo did not believe it would lose to a lone Beedrill.
Even if this Beedrill was an exceedingly rare Champion Level Beedrill.
But what had just happened
