"Let's go, Scizor!"
"Use Roost!"
Moss shouted seriously.
"Scizor…"
Pale blue energy lit up around Mega Scizor as its wings folded away.
The injuries across its body began to heal, though the poison still remained.
Roost restored a Pokémon's injuries by temporarily giving up its ability to fly.
But Mega Scizor could barely fly to begin with, so losing that ability did not affect it much.
Aaron watched Mega Scizor recover, but he was in no hurry.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Beedrill… Flash Step, Twinneedle."
Before absolute speed and power, Mega Scizor was only making one last struggle.
Bzzzzzz!
The black giant bee let out a sharp buzz and vanished instantly.
In a flash, it appeared behind Mega Scizor.
Its twin lance-like stingers were wrapped in dense black Spiritual Pressure, aimed straight for Mega Scizor's exposed side.
"Scizor, dodge with Double Team!"
Moss shouted with a serious expression.
"Scizor…!"
Mega Scizor was under enormous pressure.
Even its face armor seemed to be sweating, though who knew if that was from the heat.
It let out a cry, and several afterimages appeared at once, narrowly avoiding the twin-lance attack.
"Scizor, Continuous Bullet Punch!"
Moss immediately followed up.
"Scizor!"
Mega Scizor let out a low growl.
Silver light flashed from its fists as it punched viciously toward Beedrill.
"Dodge."
Aaron gave the order calmly.
BOOM!
SWISH!
BOOM!
SWISH!
Every time Mega Scizor threw a Bullet Punch, Beedrill vanished and dodged instantly.
But Mega Scizor kept attacking, launching Bullet Punch after Bullet Punch as it chased its opponent across the battlefield.
Even after several consecutive strikes, it still had not landed a single hit.
Mega Scizor stood rooted in place, its aura beginning to grow unstable.
It panted heavily, eyes locked on the black figure hovering in the air.
An unyielding determination flashed in its gaze.
Beedrill was simply too fast.
There was no way to hit it.
Moss took a deep breath, then looked at Aaron.
"Aaron… I've already lost this battle."
"But I still haven't used my strongest move. It would feel like a shame to end it without showing you."
"I know it probably won't hit your Beedrill."
Aaron paused.
Curiosity appeared in his eyes.
"Your strongest move?"
"I want to see it."
"Moss… let's settle this in one final clash."
"Neither side dodges."
Moss froze.
"Aaron… are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
Aaron smiled.
"Bring it on."
"Alright!"
Excitement flashed in Moss's eyes.
"Then I'll show you the strongest move Scizor and I have!"
Aaron was extremely curious.
What kind of move was it?
He could roughly guess it was probably another combination move.
Let me see it, Moss.
…
On Moss's side, he took another deep breath and spoke solemnly to Mega Scizor.
"Scizor… use that move."
"Sci-zor."
Mega Scizor nodded seriously.
Then it closed its eyes.
Blue and silver energy lit up around its body.
A violent gale suddenly rose around Mega Scizor, wrapping around its entire frame.
Its wings spread open and shone with silver light.
The gale grew faster.
Stronger.
Sharper.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Wind blades born from the storm tore through the air.
Even the stones on the ground were sliced apart like tofu, showing just how sharp those blades were.
"Scizor!"
Mega Scizor suddenly opened its eyes.
A bright gleam flashed through them as its wings erupted with dazzling silver light.
Terrifying wind blades swept around its body.
It looked like an armored war machine wrapped in a cyclone of blades.
"Aaron… take this!"
"This is Scizor's and my strongest attack!"
"Steelstorm Wing!!"
The gale from Mega Scizor whipped Moss's clothes loudly around him.
Even so, his eyes remained bright as stars as he shouted toward Aaron.
Aaron grinned.
Then he took a deep breath.
"It's our turn, Beedrill!"
"Use Twinneedle!"
Bzzzzzz!
Beedrill let out a fierce buzz.
Its twin stingers shimmered with streams of black energy.
Aaron's grin widened.
"Now spin the lances at high speed!"
Vrrrrrrr—
The twin lance-like stingers began rotating rapidly like electric drills.
The idea came from one move—
Drill Run.
"Keep them spinning!"
"Now bring them together and rotate your whole body with them!"
VRRRRRRRRR!!
The rotation intensified.
Air screamed around Beedrill as its body began spinning with the twin lances.
