Chapter 787: The Winner
Beedrill was now in full health and its stamina was at its finest. Even though, it had used subsitute and its knights had used substitute, it was in full health and stamina.
It was only cause one of the knights had meditated and collected a lot of bug type energy and in addition to ranking up to tier 3 king rank, it had a lot of excess bug energy to use.
So, it directly used most of them in substitutes and knight formation.
Scyther moved forward to finish this battle once and for all.
BANG!!!
With just one swing of its sword, one of the substitutes was gravely injured. But Scyther didn't stop there. It started to use its sword to slash at its enemies.
With the help of 'Fury cutter', the power of its slash was increasing.
Axel just could not believe it.
"Is this a 300% increase in attack power?", he said to himself. If Scyther's attack power had increased by 300% by using the pre-domain move, then there was some huge calculation mistake.
Cause even with the power increase of 300%, its power should not be so high. Each of its slashes would create a gust of wind that could kill a pseudo-king rank Pokemon.
Beedrill was obviously worried about its 20 subordinates. They were not king-rank Pokemons. They were only there to increase the overall power of Beedrill in the domain. So, it had told them to hide and survive.
But the battle was clearly going in Scyther's favor. At first, Beedrill wanted to finish this battle after using its pre-domain move but now it just wanted to survive and let the effect of the domain vanish.
The battle had not even started for 2 minutes and already 5 substitutes had already died. Scyther looked like a one-man army right now.
It could dodge the moves perfectly and attack Beedrill at a perfect spot. It looked as if it was in an enlightened state. This state of Scyther was just completely different.
"Charles, take over. Help Beedrill and keep those army alive.", said Axel to Charizard.
ROOOARRR
It was finally time for Charizard to move. It directly used its pre-domain move and also used 'Sunny day' all sorts of status moves and became ready for battle.
It used a powerful 'Flamethrower' towards Scyther. But Scyther used the move 'Light screen' to tackle most of its flames and dodged it at the nick of time and then used the move 'Fury cutter' to Charizard.
Charizard had already used the move 'Dragon scales' to increase its defense but even with that, the power of the attack was too massive for Charizard.
It crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
BANGG!!!
This was due to many reasons but one of the prime reasons was that it had been using the move 'Fury cutter' for some time now and all the moves had been connected till now and the power of 'Fury cutter' was at maximum now.
Charizard stood up. Its left shoulder was bleeding heavily but it didn't give a damn about it. Charizard had its own pride and it would not let a bug-type Pokemon do anything that it wanted.
ROOOARRR
It gave a huge roar. It was ready to use the move 'Transform' but...
'No, don't use it right now. I have called Krishna to use his Blastoise for this battle. Hold 'Transform' for now.'
Axel had said this telepathically. This was not the time to use that move. The move should only be used in critical situations and this was not a critical situation. Even though Charizard and Beedrill were losing this battle, Axel had other Pokemons to counter Scyther.
Scyther was also in a desperate situation. No matter how godly it was, it would consume a huge amount of stamina after using the pre-domain move. Axel had also called Krishna to use his pseudo-champion rank Blastoise and he was rushing over and would reach them in 5 minutes.
Also, Axel had Pokemons like Venusaur to recover Charizard's lost health.
So, Axel was not feeling the pressure right now.
Charizard agreed to Axel and then started to use other moves. It was a very powerful attacking Pokemon. Scyther had realized that it could not fight and win against both of them. So, it was specially targeting Beedrill's substitutes and the knights.
The power of Beedrill started to decrease when the numbers started to decline. Scyther was not only a powerful Pokemon but it also had a good head on its shoulders. It was targeting the weakness of Beedrill.
It could see that Beedrill was getting weaker and weaker. It also wanted to target those 20 weak Beedrills but Charizard was doing a good job protecting it.
Scyther also realized that Charizard was vastly more powerful than Beedrill. It was a fire type which Scyther was weak against and Charizard's attacking power was very high but its defense was also not as strong as Beedrill's.
The battle went on for 10 minutes and Beedrill had already told those 20 Beedrill to get out of the domain and run. Those Beedrill followed every command of their leader and did it without a second hesitation. Now, Beedrill's power had decreased a lot and it was only able to hold on due to Charizard.
Axel must say that if Charizard was at type disadvantage, Scyther may have dealt with both of them.
'Just how is this Pokemon so strong? It cannot be a wild Pokemon.', thought Axel.
It was not that Scyther was vastly stronger than Charizard and Beedrill. No, that was not the case. The thing that gave Scyther the edge was its adaptability.
The Pokemon was like a perfect warrior. It knew its strengths and weaknesses and it could use those to its advantage. It could dodge at a perfect time and also make perfect hits.
These were very important battles. It might not look much but as the battle progresses, the difference would start to show.
Scyther was only having the upper hand cause it was more experienced.
Finally, all of those pre-domain move were canceled out. They could not be used for eternity as they consumed a lot of stamina.
All of them saw that Beedrill and Charizard were lying down trying to get up with wounds all over their bodies while Scyther was standing with its head held high.
Scyther was also covered in injuries from head to toe but it could still stand and fight again. Its move 'Battle armor' was truly spectacular and the only reason it could fight till now was due to this move.
"I told you that you should not underestimate your enemy. Look where it got you.
Don't worry, I will not kill you today but will battle you in the future. I will also not interfere in this tide battle anymore. I participated in this tide battle for a good fight and I got it.
I will meet both of you soon enough. Farewell."
After giving a short speech, it went back.
"Sir, the enemy is escaping. Krishna with his Blastoise is already very close. We can stop it.", said Hector.
"No, let it be. It will not disturb us again."
"Sir, are you sure? This is a golden opportunity and why should we believe the words of a wild Pokemon?", asked Hector.
"I have a feeling that we will meet this Pokemon again. Let it go, Hector. It deserves to live another day.", said Axel with a smile.
The battle with other king-rank Pokemons was basically over. After the battle of Scyther and Beedrill with Charizard came to a close, it was already starting to fall night.
And after an hour, the day raid had finally been finished.
###
"Did we face any casualty?", asked Axel.
All of the commanders except for Alon and Arbiter were in the meeting room. It was a requirement that at least 2 commanders would be out at all times.
This was a security protocol that Axel had developed.
"No, sir. None of them died. Quite of few of them were injured but none of them were permanently injured. It is really a miracle.", said Ashmita.
"It is not a miracle. It was all due to Sir Axel and his Pokemons.", countered Sam.
"Yes, it is."
"Yes.."
"Yes.."
All of them agreed.
"It was not only me. If we didn't have a teleportation team then the death numbers would have been very high. But let's not talk about this right now. We need to prepare for the night raid.
If the night raid becomes as hard as this one then we are facing some serious problem.", said Axel with a serious face.
"Sir, I don't think that we need to worry about the night raid so much. Of course, a lot of commanders were present in the day raid but if the situation requires then most of us could also push through the night raid. It will not be a problem for us.", said Hector.
"I know and I am not worried about that. What I am worried about is the mastermind of this tide.
If the day raid is as hard as the night raid, then there is a good chance that we might be facing with a mastermind who has been putting all these moves. That mastermind could be a human or a Pokemon. Both possibilities will be equally dangerous.", said Axel.
"Sir, what do you plan to do if we were to face such a situation?"
"If such a thing happens then we will need to inform another base too. We cannot handle the mastermind on our own and make sure that none of us dies.", said Axel.
The meeting was very short as all of them had work to do. Hector's flying-type Pokemons were also injured and he could not participate in the night raid. So, he directly went to sleep.
Others were also going to take some much-needed rest. Among all the commanders, only Mia and Alon had not participated in the day raid. Except for them, all of them had participated in the tide battle.
All of them went to rest but they were all vigilant. Alon and Mia took the responsibility of guarding the night raid.
Mia was chosen for the night raid because of her Gengar and Mightyena.
Axel also went to sleep and slept in just 5 minutes. After fighting in these tide battles, he had come to realize the importance of sleep. If one cannot sleep at the right time, then one cannot fight in tomorrow's battle.
So, Axel had specifically trained himself to sleep as fast as possible.
"Let's hope that the night raid will go uninterrupted.", said Axel and drifted to sleep.
