Urban Pokémon: All My Students Are Exceptionally Gifted [59]

“Bzzzt!”

Beedrill let out a piercing cry, its body marked by charred streaks.

Normally, mere electric currents wouldn’t pose much threat.

But Zapdos’s [Thunder] at this level produced scorching heat alongside devastating electricity, inflicting far more serious injuries on Beedrill.

Taking advantage of Beedrill’s paralysis, Zapdos’s sharp beak glowed brilliantly with white light—

It prepared to finish Beedrill off with a [Drill Peck].

“Beedrill, use [Agility] and [Double Team]!” Guo Yi’s voice cut sharply through the critical moment, jolting Beedrill awake.

“Bzzzt!”

Beedrill’s wings vibrated at astonishing speed.

Instantly, dozens of afterimages filled the sky, momentarily overwhelming Zapdos.

High-altitude combat is too disadvantageous for Beedrill, Guo Yi thought anxiously.

Though Beedrill’s combination of [Agility] and [Double Team] temporarily disrupted Zapdos’s vision, it didn’t significantly shift the battle’s odds.

Moreover, being so close to the thunderclouds allowed Zapdos easy access to endless lightning attacks.

In terms of battlefield advantage, Beedrill was completely outmatched.

Yet if they descended too abruptly, Guo Yi couldn’t guarantee Zapdos wouldn’t attack the plane first before finishing off Beedrill.

As he grappled with his next move, misfortune suddenly struck—

A stray lightning bolt burst from the clouds, striking the airplane directly.

If the plane had been undamaged, such a strike wouldn’t even faze it.

But now, battered repeatedly by Zapdos, the aircraft was barely holding together.

Staying airborne was already miraculous; it had no chance of resisting this direct lightning hit.

Inside the plane, alarms wailed as violent vibrations rocked the cabin.

“Captain, the engines are damaged—they’re shutting down!” Xiao Cao cried out, panicked eyes fixed on the control panel.

Compared to the veteran captain, Xiao Cao was inexperienced, and the current chaos overwhelmed him completely.

The captain had no breath to respond. He focused all his energy on stabilizing the plane. If they lost balance, they were truly finished.

Unfortunately, losing engine power wasn’t something even his exceptional piloting skills could remedy.

With engines fully stalled, the airplane plunged rapidly, a bird without wings.

At this moment, the captain could only close his eyes in despair.

Once the plane entered an uncontrolled free fall, not even Zapdos relenting or the mysterious trainer intervening could help.

No Pokémon could withstand the immense force of a crashing aircraft.

Guo Yi, mounted atop Pidgeot, saw this dire development clearly, his brows knitting in frustration.

He hadn’t expected that even his intervention wouldn’t stop the plane’s downfall.

Yet he couldn’t bear watching over two hundred lives vanish before his eyes.

Without hesitation, Guo Yi took out the Master Ball from his beginner’s gift package and threw it decisively.

“Mega Mewtwo X—save those passengers!”

A brilliant crimson flash erupted from the Master Ball, and an imposing figure appeared majestically in the sky.

[Mega Mewtwo X (Psychic/Fighting)]
[Gender: ♂]
[Level: Lv100 (Master Tier)]
[Ability: Steadfast (Boosts speed whenever flinched)]
[Moves: Aura Sphere, Psystrike, Recover, Psychic, Miracle Eye, Shadow Ball (common moves)]
[Held Item: None]
[Potential: Master Tier]

Compared to the ordinary Mewtwo, Mega Mewtwo X possessed an extraordinarily enhanced physique, its muscular limbs giving it unprecedented combat power. Additionally, gaining Fighting typing significantly amplified its physical attacks, complementing its already formidable special attacks. It was now a Pokémon capable of dominating any battlefield.

Upon appearing, Mega Mewtwo X glanced briefly at Guo Yi—

Then vanished instantly with [Teleport].

…

“Ahhh!”

Shrill screams filled the cabin.

As the plane hurtled straight downward, its descent speed exponentially increased. Both wings broke apart, disintegrating mid-air.

The friction from the rapid descent produced extreme heat. At this rate, they’d be vaporized before even hitting the ground.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the plane jolted violently as if something had slammed against it from below.

Panicked passengers realized the plane’s fall, though still vertical, was gradually slowing.

Xiao Cao had already lost consciousness from hypoxia. Only the captain stubbornly clung to awareness through sheer determination.

“Is that… a Pokémon?”

Blood blurred his vision, making it almost impossible to open his eyes. But through that narrow, crimson veil, he saw a powerful figure ahead of the nose, slowly decelerating the plane.

This figure was none other than Mega Mewtwo X, summoned by Guo Yi using the Master Ball.

Teleporting instantly in front of the plummeting aircraft, Mega Mewtwo X’s psychic powers combined with immense physical strength to slow its fall.

Yet—

Even for Mega Mewtwo X, this was far from effortless.

It wasn’t because Mega Mewtwo X, summoned by the Master Ball, lacked power—

Rather, saving the passengers inside required precise control. If destruction had been the goal, a single [Psychic] from Mega Mewtwo X would obliterate the plane instantly.

…

Clinging to Shu Xinni, Jiang Rou burst into uncontrollable tears.

“You silly girl!” Shu Xinni teased gently. “Weren’t you always saying that you weren’t scared of anything?”

Though she joked, her voice was filled with the pure joy of surviving a near-death experience.

After all, who’d have the heart to joke around otherwise?

Shortly thereafter, the professionalism of the cabin crew shone through brilliantly.

“Please exit via the emergency slides calmly and orderly.”

“Do not push or panic. The plane has landed safely; you’re no longer in danger!”

Each flight attendant stood at their assigned positions, calmly guiding the passengers to safety.

Under their guidance, all passengers quickly exited the plane without incident. The crew immediately brought out emergency first-aid kits to tend to the injured.

“Miss Shu, what Pokémon is that?”

Jiang Rou pointed curiously at the mysterious creature floating in midair. In all her memories, she’d never seen such a Pokémon. Naturally, she turned to the knowledgeable Shu Xinni for answers.

Yet even Shu Xinni was baffled. This Pokémon was completely unfamiliar to her as well.

“Captain, careful!”

At this moment, a flight attendant carefully supported the injured captain, helping him step forward. The captain stumbled closer to Mega Mewtwo X, bowed deeply, and said solemnly:

“Thank you for saving everyone aboard this plane!”

Hearing the captain, everyone immediately understood this mysterious Pokémon was their savior. Many passengers approached one after another, bowing gratefully.

However, Mega Mewtwo X remained aloof to their gratitude. Arms folded across its chest, it silently raised its head toward the sky, indifferent as ever.

“Mommy, what happened to the giant bug?”

The young girl’s curious question reminded everyone.

Right!
Where was the Beedrill that had fought so hard to save them?
Was it still battling Zapdos?

“Swellow!”

Just then, Swellow flew back, and immediately afterward came another piercing cry from Zapdos.

Everyone raised their eyes to the sky, where Beedrill was still locked in fierce combat with Zapdos, slowly drawing the battle closer to the ground.

However, Beedrill’s current condition was clearly critical. Covered in injuries, its stingers no longer gleamed as sharply as before.

“Look! There’s someone riding that Pidgeot!”

A voice suddenly shouted from within the crowd, finally noticing Guo Yi’s figure.

Due to their limited perspective earlier, passengers had only seen Beedrill fighting Zapdos, completely overlooking the trainer on Pidgeot’s back.

“That must be Beedrill’s trainer!” the captain explained, having witnessed everything personally.

Trainer?!

Everyone was stunned.

Previously, they’d assumed Beedrill was a wild Pokémon. It never occurred to them that such a powerful Pokémon could have been trained by someone. But who exactly was this mysterious trainer? Why had they never heard of him before?

“I remember the most famous Bug-type specialist in the country is Lin Feng, the current Bug-type Elite Four member.”

“But even if Elite Four Lin Feng himself appeared, his Beedrill would still likely be no match for this Zapdos,” a knowledgeable passenger analyzed thoughtfully.

His statement quickly drew agreement from others.

“That’s right! Though Lin Feng does have a Beedrill, his main Pokémon is Heracross.”

“So this Beedrill clearly isn’t his.”

“Then just who is this mysterious person?”

Everyone’s curiosity about their savior’s identity intensified further.

Suddenly—

Bang!

A loud impact echoed from the sky above. Beedrill had been directly struck by Zapdos’s Brave Bird, slamming violently into the ground.

“Oh no!” Everyone’s hearts lurched anxiously, concerned not only for Beedrill but also its trainer, Guo Yi.

Because judging from Zapdos’s posture, it clearly intended to target Guo Yi next.

Sure enough, electricity surged over Zapdos’s body as lightning swirled ominously in the clouds.

A split second later, a massive, visible lightning bolt shot straight toward Guo Yi.

“Ahh!” Several frightened female passengers shut their eyes tightly, unable to bear watching.

The others looked on anxiously, hearts clenched.

Yet what happened next left everyone utterly stunned!

Facing Zapdos’s terrifying Thunder attack, Guo Yi remained perfectly composed, not showing even a hint of panic. Perhaps sensing its rider’s calmness, even Pidgeot, which instinctively wanted to dodge, remained firmly in place.

Right as lightning was about to strike—

A figure suddenly appeared before Guo Yi, effortlessly raising one arm and blocking the powerful thunderbolt.

“It’s that mysterious Pokémon from earlier!”

“Incredible! It blocked Zapdos’s attack single-handedly!”

“Not only that—look at its expression! It doesn’t seem pressured at all!”

The astonished passengers realized the mysterious Pokémon that had stood near them moments ago now appeared instantly on the battlefield, protecting the trainer from harm.

And it wasn’t finished yet.

Mega Mewtwo X casually clenched its fist, effortlessly shattering the lightning bolt midair. With a wave of its hand, Zapdos itself was sent flying, crashing hard into a cliffside.

Witnessing Mega Mewtwo X’s overwhelming strength, everyone subconsciously gulped.

They’d initially thought this mysterious Pokémon’s strength was roughly equal to Zapdos’s. But clearly, this was total domination!

Of course it was.

Summoned by a Master Ball, Mega Mewtwo X stood at the pinnacle of strength. Even facing first-class Legendary Pokémon, it could easily dominate, let alone Zapdos—a mere third-tier Legendary.

Just as Mega Mewtwo X prepared to finish Zapdos off, Guo Yi intervened calmly:

“Mewtwo, this is Beedrill’s battle—and mine.”

If simply defeating Zapdos was his goal, why would Guo Yi have bothered with such trouble? His true intention here was to use Zapdos’s strength to help Beedrill break through to the Master Tier.

“Bzzzzt!”

Beedrill, heavily wounded, flew shakily back to Guo Yi’s side.

Its current condition was dire. Wings nearly shredded, barely able to sustain flight, and its greatest weapons—the twin stingers—were now broken and dull. Clearly, it had no business continuing this fight.

Yet—
Beedrill’s gaze remained fiercely determined, never wavering.

Perceiving the intense resolve of both trainer and Pokémon, Mega Mewtwo X silently stepped aside.

Guo Yi poured his [Power of Viridian] into Beedrill, healing its injuries while sensing its unwavering fighting spirit.
