“I’m too arrogant, I request a battle.”
At the entrance of a Pokémon battle arena, Gui Ling sat on the ground with a wooden sign stuck beside him. It had extremely mocking words written on it, intending to provoke passersby into battling him.
However, he had been sitting there for half an hour, and no one dared to battle Gui Ling, though many took photos with him.
“Sigh… how long will this go on? No one is battling me, so my ranking won’t go up…”
“Gengar!”
Gengar suddenly darted out, making a ghostly face. Gui Ling also pretended to be scared, cooperating with Gengar. After exchanging glances, they both burst into laughter.
Then Gengar handed Gui Ling a bottle of water. Just then, a blue-haired Little Boy slowly walked over, carrying his schoolbag.
“Excuse me, are you looking for an opponent?”
“Yes, hmm? You look like you just turned 10.”
“Ah, I’m a newly registered Trainer. I’m just about to look for an opponent.”
“Ah? I’m sorry, Little Boy, but I’m competing in the World Tournament, you…”
Gui Ling was about to refuse, but seeing the Little Boy’s disappointed expression, he rubbed his forehead. Thinking that he had been sitting there all morning with no one to battle him, he reluctantly agreed.
“Alright then.”
“Oh, by the way, I don’t have any money…”
“It’s fine, I’ll cover the arena fee.”
…………
“Are you ready?”
“A little nervous…”
Ten minutes later, Gui Ling and the Little Boy entered the battle arena. This time, there was an unusually large audience. Due to Gui Ling’s sudden popularity online recently, almost all Trainers in every region knew of this legendary Trainer.
“For a new Trainer, I should probably use one that isn’t too strong.”
“Gengar Gengar!”
“You want to battle?”
“Gengar!”
“Alright, go easy on them.”
“The battle rules are 1v1. The match ends when either Pokémon loses its ability to battle. Now, both sides, please send out your Pokémon!”
“Remember to go easy.”
“Gengar!”
“Go, Da Huang!”
“Buzz!”
“Wow! I remember this Gengar! During the Kalos League Conference, this Gengar’s performance was at least Lord-level.”
The Little Boy threw out a Poké Ball. With a flash of blue light, a Beedrill flew onto the battle arena.
“A Beedrill? Hmm?”
Gui Ling carefully observed the Beedrill, feeling a strange sense of familiarity.
“It feels a bit familiar…”
“Then, let the battle begin!”
“Strike first! X-Scissor!”
“Night Shade.”
“Abandon the attack! U-turn!”
Seeing Gengar’s Night Shade about to hit the Beedrill, which was trying to close the distance, the Little Boy immediately made the Beedrill change its attack.
Upon hearing the command, the Beedrill instantly flew upwards, dodging Night Shade.
“Use Psychic to control Night Shade, and pursue.”
Just when everyone thought the Beedrill absolutely couldn't dodge this attack, the Beedrill’s speed instantly increased by several levels. In almost an instant, it appeared behind Gengar and successfully hit.
“Although Gengar was careless, its speed is a bit too exaggerated… I seem somewhat familiar with this Beedrill…”
Gui Ling lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered the Beedrill swarm he had encountered in the forest before.
After completing the Kalos League Conference, Gui Ling had lived in seclusion in the forest. One day, countless Beedrill flew towards his villa, their numbers almost enough to blot out the sky.
Rayquaza sensed them and immediately stopped them. At this point, the Beedrill wanted to talk to Gui Ling.
When Gui Ling came out, the Beedrill parted, and a larger Beedrill slowly flew over.
That was Diancie’s first defeat. The leader of this Beedrill requested a battle with Gui Ling and asked to Mega Evolve itself.
Without a deep bond, Mega Evolution is almost impossible, so Gui Ling had to let Kyogre use a little of the giant stone’s power to allow the Beedrill to Mega Evolve.
However, Gui Ling had one condition: if it wanted to battle a legendary Pokémon, it first had to defeat one of his mythical Pokémon.
Unexpectedly, the Mega Beedrill used its speed to successfully find an opening in Diancie’s defenses, launching a surprise attack that defeated the Diamond Princess, Diancie, earning the qualification to challenge a legendary Pokémon.
However, it ultimately lost to Rayquaza’s Dragon Ascent, but it managed to last several rounds against Rayquaza.
This was the first time Gui Ling had seen that a Beedrill could be so strong.
The leader of the Beedrill, wanting to continuously use the giant stone’s power for Mega Evolution, made a deal with Gui Ling.
It was willing to follow Gui Ling, but the condition was that it needed a share of the giant stone’s power to maintain its Mega Evolution.
After asking Kyogre, who agreed, Gui Ling accepted the deal.
From then on, all the Beedrill in the entire Kalos region lived around Gui Ling’s villa.
…………
After the flashback ended, Gengar also remembered this incident and its eyes became wary.
“But this guy’s speed and power are far inferior to that Beedrill. Don’t be afraid, Gengar.”
“Gengar Gengar.”
“Are you sure?”
“Gengar!”
Gui Ling nodded, temporarily paused the match, and then threw two shiny objects towards the Little Boy.
“What’s this?”
The Little Boy took them and found that what he held were a Mega ite and a Key Stone.
“Let’s have a battle with all your strength, but before we start, I have one more question for you.”
“Okay! Please ask!”
“How did you get this Beedrill?”
“Before… when I was 5 years old, I found a Pokémon egg. After it hatched, it was a Weedle. But since I wasn’t old enough to be a Trainer, I released it after it evolved into a Beedrill. But we made a promise that I would come back for it when I became a Trainer! We just started our journey yesterday!”
“Is that so? Then it seems your Da Huang suffered quite a bit in the wild. With its strength, it probably held a good position, but it still kept its promise to you.”
As Gui Ling spoke, he touched his Key Stone, and at the same time, the badge on Gengar’s body also glowed with a purple light.
“So, you see, geniuses are all around us! Don’t disappoint us! May the Ghost of the End protect its body and grant it the ‘determination’ to surpass everything!”

At today's anime convention, two ** were secretly taking photos of female cosplayers. I recorded the entire process as evidence, and I didn't get his face, so I didn't infringe on portrait rights, hehehe!
They also tried to snatch a female teacher's phone, but I stopped them. Oh, I impressed myself, alright!
(Suddenly feeling a bit inflated, hahaha!)
Both have been taken away by the police, so please rest assured.
The Identity V Prospector Deduction Star and Li Tianchen that came out these two days, I wonder if everyone can see them in the bullet comments here? I've also gone from a novice to a master, oh yeah!
