As Beedrill's level officially broke into the Master Tier, Kenji noticed a
subtle change in the System interface. In the potential column, beneath the word
"Limit," a new line of text had appeared in parentheses:
(It seems there is still more room to grow...)
This simple sentence caused three words to flash through Kenji's mind:
Level Up!
In the source logic of the System, the Level Up! Hex Core didn't just provide
experience; it unlocked "Level 10," a tier that didn't exist for standard
players. Looking at the text now, Kenji's heart raced with a wild theory.
Is Level 100 not the final ceiling for Beedrill? Is it possible to reach
Level 101... Level 110... even Level 200?!
For now, it was just a fantasy. But the reality on the field was clear: even
after reaching Level 100, Beedrill's growth hadn't stagnated. Its speed was
still climbing, its physical power was deepening, and its mastery over its own
movents was becoming more refined by the second.
Beedrill's power hadn't peaked; it had simply moved past the observable map.
On the field, Blaziken had entered a state of frantic offense. Its legs moved so
fast that they left afterimages across the stone floor. Every strike tore
through the air with the sound of a cracking whip.
Blaziken's Speed Boost was active. With every passing second, the fire-beast's
velocity increased, reaching a point where a standard Champion-tier Pokémon
wouldn't even be able to see it.
Yet, throughout the entire barrage, Beedrill remained impossibly composed. It
drifted through the storm of fire with the grace of a falling leaf. Not a single
spark, not a single ember, managed to touch its wings.
The Speed Boost had reached its absolute maximum, yet Beedrill continued to
react as if Blaziken were moving through molasses. The gap in their perception
was so vast that Blaziken couldn't even tell how much faster it needed to be to
close it.
"Blaziken! ga Evolve!"
Zhurong Yun took a deep breath. He realized that without tapping into the
ultimate power of their bond, Blaziken didn't even have the right to stand on
the sa field as this insect.
"HUO-QIAAAAA!"
Blaziken let out a low, vibrating growl. It was swallowed by a pillar of golden
fire. Within the inferno, the light of ga Evolution flared with blinding
intensity.
When the flas receded, ga Blaziken stood in the arena. Its white V-shaped
crest was sharper, and the fire erupting from its wrists now trailed behind it
like shimring golden ribbons.
"HA… QIA!"
ga Blaziken dropped into a low crouch.
BOOM!
The ground beneath its feet shattered as it launched. It beca a golden teor,
trailing a cloud of ignited soot. It pulled its leg back, its heel wreathed in
the divine heat of the Phoenix, and delivered a flying kick aid at Beedrill's
head.
In its ga form, Blaziken's internal temperature spiked, fueling a massive
surge in raw physical power.
THOOM!
For the first ti in the match, Beedrill acted. It didn't dodge. It crossed its
twin moon-white stingers in a "X" guard.
The collision triggered a localized explosion, a miniature mushroom cloud of
golden fire rising into the sky.
BANG!
A red-and-gold silhouette was launched backward from the smoke.
Screeeeee—
ga Blaziken slamd its feet into the ground, its powerful legs carving two
deep trenches into the stone floor as it struggled to bleed off the montum.
Its arms were trembling, but its eyes were wide with a manic, newfound
excitent.
He finally attacked!
Across the field, the golden fire from the explosion was swept aside by a
terrifying kinetic pressure. Beedrill erged from the smoke, its stingers
already returning to its sides.
ga Blaziken tracked the insect's silhouette, but before its mind could
register the movent, Beedrill was already there.
It hadn't used Teleport. It was simply moving at a speed that bypassed the
human—and even the Champion-tier—nervous system.
Beedrill raised a stinger and thrust.
It was a strange exchange. To the observers, Beedrill seed to be moving with
casual, almost lazy intent. Every strike missed ga Blaziken by a fraction of
an inch—purposely. It was as if Beedrill were walking a tightrope, giving the
fire-beast zero room to breathe but refusing to end the fight.
Slowly, ga Blaziken began to adapt. It stopped panicking and started to find
the rhythm. It transitioned from pure defense into a series of desperate,
high-speed counters.
Yet, those counters never landed.
Watching from the sidelines, Zhurong Yun's heart sank. He saw the truth.
Beedrill wasn't struggling. It was tutoring.
The insect was acting as a master, guiding the "student" Blaziken to push its
limits, forcing it to control its power more efficiently under extre pressure.
It was the sa way Beedrill had taught Gyarados how to master Conqueror's
Infusion.
For ga Blaziken, a Pokémon that had sat at the top of the Huaxia League for
years, this was a humiliating realization. It had reached the peak, only to find
that the "peak" was just the base of a much taller mountain.
"HUO… QIAAAAA!"
ga Blaziken's golden eyes burned with a suicidal resolve. It refused to be
"taught." It was a warrior of the Phoenix.
It lunged again, its heel coming down like a guillotine. Beedrill raised a
single arm, catching the kick with its stinger.
THOOM!
The impact shook the mountain. But ga Blaziken didn't pull back. It used the
stinger as a springboard, launching itself even higher into the sky.
As it reached the apex, the fire on its wrists erupted, swirling around its body
until it took the shape of a massive, golden bird of prey.
"Phoenix Flight!"
This was a terrifying rger of Brave Bird and Flare Blitz. It was a
"Self-Destruct" style nuke designed to trade 1-for-1 with even a God.
Normally, the move required a long charge-up ti from a high altitude, but ga
Blaziken was trying to execute it at point-blank range to ensure Beedrill
couldn't dodge.
Beedrill didn't even look up. It didn't need to. Through its compound eyes, the
world was a still-fra. ga Blaziken's "instant" charge looked like a
slow-motion crawl.
Kenji watched his partner and felt a wave of bittersweet regret. He almost
wished he hadn't used the Reach the Peak Hex Core to force Beedrill to
Level 100.
He rembered that day vividly. When the level cap broke, Beedrill had released
a pulse of energy so violent it had turned the surrounding forest yellow,
siphoning the life force of the trees just to fuel its tamorphosis.
At Level 100, a 4-Star Beedrill was no longer a Pokémon. It was a "Dinsional
Tier" entity. Its power was now analogous to wtwo. It was a Tier 0 God.
Facing a Level 100 Blaziken—even a blessed one—was no longer a "fair fight." It
was a slaughter.
"Beedrill. Poison Jab."
Kenji's voice was soft, ending the "lesson."
Beedrill finally moved with intent. It didn't ga Evolve. It didn't need to.
Its right stinger turned a deep, lethal violet. Concentrated toxin began to
swirl around the point like a high-speed drill.
"SHH-BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"
The golden phoenix collided with the violet drill.
To the Zhurong Clan, it looked like a god falling from the sky. But the mont
the two forces touched, the golden fire didn't consu the insect.
Instead, the phoenix shattered.
The Poison Jab pierced through the fire, through the Fighting-type aura, and
struck the very center of ga Blaziken's guard. The massive explosion of golden
flas was instantly snuffed out, replaced by a violent shockwave of kinetic
energy that leveled the remaining stone pillars in the arena.
The Sovereign of Fire had been t with a Sovereign of the Void.
