Pokemon: I Transmigrated Twice-Chapter 159: Pokemon: I Transmigrated Twice []

When seeing Bea leave the command zone and step into the arena, Melony currently ranked fourth in the Galar League, was utterly dumbfounded.

What is she planning to do?

The millions of spectators both in the arena and in front of their televisions had the same expression of disbelief.

Then, under the curious gaze of countless viewers across the Pokémon world, Bea took a deep breath and raised her fist toward the Galarian Darmanitan in front of her.

The entire arena erupted into an uproar.

Melony suddenly realized what Bea was up to. Her Galarian Darmanitan could tell as well, glancing at Bea before turning to the referee, Dan, and pointing at him with its imposing big finger.

Dan recalled something Chairman Rose had told him before the match started and cleared his throat to explain:

["There's no rule in the tournament regulations stating that trainers can't personally enter the battle."]

Rose had brought this up to him before the match started, and Dan had been stunned at the time.

Chat reactions flooded the live stream:

["Are you serious right now, girl?"]

["Did her mental state collapse? When the Pokémon can't win, she decides to fight herself?"]

["Actually, humans can be surprisingly strong. Yesterday, when I visited Professor Oak's lab, I saw a five- or six-year-old kid carrying a 40-pound Nidorina like it was nothing. I was floored."]

["As someone from Kanto, let me tell you, Elite Four Bruno often spars with wild Pokémon. Human potential is far greater than you'd think."]

["Come on, Bruno just spars with wild Pokémon. Melony is near-elite level. If her main Pokémon attacks head-on, forget about Bruno—even Mustard, the Galarian ex-Champion, wouldn't be able to take it!"]

"Bea-chan, are you serious?"

Even after receiving confirmation from the referee, Melony still found the situation surreal.

After Bea nodded seriously with a determined expression, Melony took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"Alright, let's do this."

"Darmanitan, use Ice Beam!"

Unlike the white Ice Type Darmanitan from Unova, the Galarian Darmanitan opened its mouth, and a sharp beam of ice shot out, carving a frosty trail through the air as it sped toward Bea.

"Melony's holding back," commented Raihan, the second-strongest trainer in Galar, from the participants' rest area.

Any trainer familiar with Galarian Darmanitan would know that its Special Attack stat was abysmal, even for Ice-type moves.

"Shave!" Bea muttered softly.

In an instant, she vanished from her original position.

Everyone in the arena froze in shock, unable to process what had just happened.

By the time they registered what was happening, Bea had already appeared behind the Galarian Darmanitan, sprinting toward it at high speed.

"Behind you! Ice Punch!"

The sudden turn of events caused Melony to momentarily panic and instinctively command her Darmanitan to use a physical attack.

The Darmanitan quickly snapped out of its confusion, and a frost-covered fist formed as icy energy surged from its right arm, aiming at the rapidly approaching Bea.

"Uh-oh!"

As the Darmanitan's icy fist closed in on Bea, Melony suddenly regretted her decision. In her panic, she had reflexively told her Darmanitan to use a physical Ice-type move.

That punch could seriously injure a human!

"Paper Art," Bea muttered again.

As the Ice Punch approached, her body moved like a feather caught in a cold breeze, drifting effortlessly to the side.

The icy fist brushed past her waist, narrowly missing her.

The nearly 100,000 spectators at the stadium collectively gasped.

Truth be told, many had already imagined the horrifying scene of Bea coughing up blood after taking that punch.

In the next instant, after dodging the blow, Bea leaned back, launching herself forward with a kick aimed squarely at the Darmanitan's abdomen!

Thud!

The Galarian Darmanitan, one of Melony's strongest Pokémon, crossed its muscular arms in front of its body to block the attack, relying on its excellent reflexes.

Even so, Bea's powerful kick sent it flying seven to eight meters into the air.

"Shave!"

Bea stomped on the ground, propelling herself forward like a blur.

Almost simultaneously as the Darmanitan reached the peak of its flight, Bea appeared right beside it.

"That move again!?" Melony's face turned pale.

"Heoh!"

Bea, now airborne, unleashed a whip-like roundhouse kick.

The airborne Darmanitan raised its arms again to block the attack.

Thud!

The heavy impact reverberated across the arena.

The Darmanitan wasn't sent flying this time, but it was knocked several meters across the air, clearly struggling to withstand the force of Bea's kick.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bea's feet seemed to defy gravity as she stomped repeatedly in midair, producing sharp, balloon-popping sounds.

She closed the distance between herself and the Darmanitan once more.

["That move... isn't that what Dr. Stephen's Bewear used against the Galarian Articuno!?"]

Even Champion Leon and many other audience members recognized it.

The technique Bea was using was unmistakably the same one Stephen's Bewear had used to fight the Galarian Articuno more than a month ago.

While Bea's speed and precision were far from Bewear's level, it was undoubtedly the same move.

"Iron Defense!"

The confusion on Melony's face finally gave way to seriousness.

She needed to get serious now. If she ended up losing to a 10-year-old girl who had entered the battlefield herself, she'd become the laughingstock of the entire league.

And it would be even worse if that girl won by fighting with her bare hands!

The Galarian Darmanitan struck a muscle-flexing pose. Through the close-up captured by a drone, its taut muscles were visible.

At the same time, Bea caught up using Moonwalk, launching a flurry of punches and kicks.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The attacks rained down on the Darmanitan like a storm.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

"Haah!"

Finally, Bea let out a Bruce Lee-like battle cry. She performed a spinning aerial hook kick, delivering a clean strike that sent the Galarian Darmanitan crashing from midair to the ground.

This entire combo... it was the Lion Barrage!

"Bea-chan!"

"Bea-chan!"

"Bea-chan!"

The crowd of nearly 100,000 spectators erupted in an earth-shaking cheer.

Even far away on the Indigo Plateau, Bruno clapped with a smile as he watched the screen.

As the chat had previously mentioned, he too had a penchant for sparring with Pokémon.

However, he admitted it was usually just casual sparring or picking on low-level wild Pokémon.

Fighting a near-Elite Four-level Pokémon in hand-to-hand combat... Bruno confessed he didn't have that kind of ability.

Next to him, Lorelei, who was sitting cross-legged, was both shocked and quietly complaining internally about why the broadcasting director hadn't switched the camera to the VIP section yet.

"Impressive, Bea-chan. But... it's still not enough to defeat my Darmanitan."

Melony suddenly spoke.

As soon as her words fell, the Galarian Darmanitan, which had been buried in the ground, suddenly leaped up.

Its previously snow-white body was now marked with fiery red patterns, and it grinned maliciously, baring its teeth.

From its forehead, a flame burst out, burning fiercely like the tail of a Charizard.

"It's the Zen Mode!"

Sonia shouted.

Zen Mode—an exclusive ability of Darmanitan.

When its health drops below half, it transforms, gaining a significant boost to its physical attributes and a change in its typing.

At this moment, the previously pure Ice-type Galarian Darmanitan transformed into a Fire/Ice-type!

"Flame Wheel!"

Melony commanded.

The Darmanitan set its body ablaze, spinning like a fiery tire as it charged forward.

Bea instinctively raised her arms to block, but the Zen Mode Darmanitan had already collided with her.

So fast!

Bea's short silver-gray hair was blown upward by the heatwave from the impact of the flames.

From the opposing trainer's box, Melony called out with concern, "Don't push yourself too hard, Bea-chan. You need to know when to give up."

After all, this was her first time encountering someone who fought her Pokémon with sheer human strength.

Bea let out a muffled groan, barely withstanding the attack. She performed several backflips and quickly retreated to her original position in the trainer's box.

["You've reached your limit, haven't you?"]

On the commentary desk, Leon glanced at Bea's slightly burned arm and remarked in a low voice,

[ "At the end of the day, Bea's body is still human."]

Just then, Bea turned her head to look toward the VIP section.

Finally, the camera cuts to the long-awaited VIP section.

To everyone's surprise, Stephen wasn't lounging in his luxurious bed enjoying the service of beautiful mermaid Nessa and Sonia like before. Instead, he was smiling as he nodded toward Bea.

Seeing this, Bea removed her knee guards, which resembled football socks.

Only then did everyone notice that there were weights hidden underneath.

"Lady Melony, from here on, I will fight with my full strength."

As she spoke, Bea threw down the weights from both her arms as well.

"It's just a little weight removal. That won't be enough to threaten Mel—"

From the players' lounge, Raihan was mid-sentence when he was interrupted.

Thud—!

The dull sound of the weights hitting the ground left him frozen in shock.

"I'm coming,"

Bea said as she crouched slightly.

"Be careful, Darmanitan,"

Melony warned.

The Galarian Darmanitan, whose speed and power had been significantly boosted, narrowed its eyes.

In the next instant, Bea vanished from her original spot, leaving only a blur behind.

The Darmanitan's expression shifted.

Boom!

A sharp cracking sound echoed in its ears.

The next moment, pain radiated from the left side of its face. It only realized then that it was airborne.

W-What happened?

Did I just get hit?

Meanwhile, in the eyes of Melony and the countless spectators, all they saw was a blurry shadow flash past the Darmanitan's left side. Then, the Darmanitan was sent flying.

Before it could hit the ground, the shadow appeared in its landing spot.

At this moment, everyone could see—it was Bea.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The sound of fists landing on flesh echoed through the arena again.

With her weights removed, Bea was like a character out of Devil May Cry, not giving her opponent any chance to touch the ground.

"Darmanitan! Use Flare Blitz!"

Melony made a decisive call, giving the order immediately.

To be honest, using a high-power move like Flare Blitz, which causes recoil damage, was risky when her Darmanitan was already low on health.

But Melony had no choice.

If she didn't act now, there wouldn't be another opportunity.

The Darmanitan in midair was quickly engulfed in blazing flames.

It was both an offensive attack and a defensive shield.

Just like the Ice Titan that Pryce used in Viridian City before, it achieved a flawless, all-around defense.

However, the temperature of these flames was so high that it even burned the Darmanitan itself.

Whoosh!

The Darmanitan clenched its teeth and endured the discomfort brought by the scorching flames. Then...

Swish!

Locking into Bea's position, it shot through the air like a fiery meteor.

"Hoo..."

On the ground, Bea took a deep breath.

Her left foot stepped forward, while her right foot shifted slightly back.

Although she hadn't completely mastered it yet... she decided to give it a try.

"That girl... she couldn't possibly be thinking..."

Stephen vaguely guessed what Bea had in mind.

Bea launched a high kick with her right leg.

The resulting air pressure formed a crescent-shaped blade, shooting straight to meet the fiery charge that resembled a tiger descending from the mountain.

It was the Tempest Kick, which Stephen had previously dismissed as a useless move.

However, this useless move only applied to Pokémon.

After all, Pokémon can directly learn more advanced skills, rendering the Six Styles' attack techniques redundant for them.

But for a human like Bea, it was a highly practical offensive method.

Under the stunned gazes of everyone, the fiery charge eventually suppressed the blue and white crescent blade, completely dispersing it, but its speed had already decreased.

Bea slightly shifted her body, and the meteor-like fireball landed two meters away from her.

The fireball's impact created a ten-meter-wide crater.

Cracks spread out in all directions, and the grass in the middle had been scorched, revealing uneven patches of soil.

But—she hadn't been hit.

At the center of the crater, the Darmanitan lay powerlessly at the bottom.

["Darmanitan is unable to battle. Bea... Bea wins!"]

Even Dan, who was announcing the result, stammered slightly—this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Galar Star Tournament Live Chat:

[User A]: ["Whoa! Did she win?!"]

[User B]: ["This is insane. Is she a humanoid Pokémon or what? I feel like Bea-chan could stomp my Mankey to death with just one kick!"]

[User C]: ["Who would dare marry her? She might accidentally crush you with a slight squeeze!"]

[User D]: ["Where did this animal come from? She's only 10 years old—someone calls the internet police!"]

[User E]: ["This move looks a lot like Dr. Stephen's moves with Bewear, doesn't it? Did Dr. Stephen teach her this too?"]

[User F]: ["Duh, are you blind? Half an hour ago, Bea-chan was still massaging Dr. Stephen's legs."]

[User G]: ["I feel like Galar is slowly becoming Dr. Stephen's harem. He's already got three girls who are ambiguously close to him."]

[User H]: ["Honestly, if Dr. Stephen wanted, even Rose would serve him. The man might bring out his bed just to suck up to him."]

After Darmanitan's defeat, Melony sent out her next main Pokémon, Mr. Rime.

Compared to the straightforward battle style of Galarian Darmanitan, Mr. Rime had far more tricks up its sleeve.

Fortunately, though Melony was a seasoned fighter, this was her first time encountering Bea's unique fighting style.

In the end, Bea narrowly defeated Mr. Rime.

However, when Melony sent out her Lapras, the outcome was decided.

Even with Lapras missing four consecutive Hydro Pumps, it was impossible for Lapras to lose.

As the chilling breath of Lapras' Icy Wind began to freeze Bea's legs, slowing her down, Bea knew she no longer stood a chance.

Clap, clap, clap!

Stephen stepped forward, applauding.

The audience erupted into thunderous applause, cheering for Bea's performance.

Say what you will, for a 10-year-old child to force someone as strong as Melony—whose abilities were Elite Four level—to use her final Pokémon was already an impressive feat.

...

"If only I could master Tempest Kick and Finger Gun more skillfully..."

Back in the VIP section, Bea couldn't hide her disappointment.

When fighting Lapras, her stamina had already been completely drained.

The main issue was that she had exhausted too much energy against the first two Pokémon, and the root cause was her lack of diverse attack methods.

"Don't be silly. You've already improved so much," Stephen said with a smile, comforting her.

In Stephen's eyes, Saida's rate of improvement was almost comparable to Koby from his previous life.

Speaking of which, that was a regret from his past life.

Stephen wanted to catch Koby and study him—cutting him up if necessary.

How could a short kid with no strength at all when he debuted, in less than three years, rise to become the Navy's next generation's strongest, even making the likes of Blackbeard, one of the Four Emperors, wary?

Did he find the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?

After being comforted for a while, Bea perked up again and remembered something.

"Oh, Doctor, do you want me to massage your legs again?"

Stephen gave a dry laugh.

"Uh... no need for that."

Then he shot a glance at a certain yellow-furred rodent.

Rose scratched his chin thoughtfully as he observed this scene.

So it was true—massages and bed-making were no longer enough to satisfy Dr. Stephen?

"Chairman, there's something..."

At that moment, Oleana walked up to Rose and whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening, Rose raised an eyebrow and said to Stephen,

"Dr. Stephen, we've located the Moltres."

"Oh?"

Stephen raised an eyebrow slightly and turned to Karen.

"Perfect timing. Let's go."

The match of Nessa and Bea, two acquaintances, had already ended and the other wasn't particularly interesting anymore. Chairman Rose didn't try to insist on making Stephen stay but instead warmly invited him to come to watch the finals, which were scheduled to take place three days later. Stephen didn't refuse this invitation and left after agreeing.

As for Nessa, Bea, and the Lusamine family of three, they didn't stay either and left together.

However, Sonia lingered for a moment, her gaze shifting between Stephen's departing figure and Leon at the commentary booth, hesitating slightly.

"Pika! Pika! Pika!"

The Pikachu in Sonia's arms kept waving its tiny hands, pointing at Stephen, who had already walked far away. The meaning was obvious.

Urged by the yellow electric mouse, and after confirming that Leon wasn't looking in her direction, Sonia eventually decided to leave as well.

After Stephen and his group left, Chairman Rose immediately summoned his staff to renovate and upgrade the VIP viewing box.

Meanwhile...

The Hoenn League had been ecstatic over the past two days.

Initially, they were somewhat worried that the rumors and gossip surrounding Stephen wouldn't be enough to distract the public across the Pokémon continent. But unexpectedly, within just a day, another wave of major news broke out.

Galar's Palace Gate TV:

["Although the aspiring Gym Leader Bea was eliminated in the quarterfinals, let's not forget that she is only 10 years old. In today's match, she forced Gym Leader Melony to send out her sixth Pokémon, proving that she will undoubtedly become a cornerstone of the Galar League in the future!"]

Alola's Manalo Daily:

["Lusamine's daughter, Lillie, has a very close relationship with Dr. Stephen. Even Gladion addresses Dr. Stephen as an older brother. It's clear that previous malicious media reports were attempting to sow discord between Dr. Stephen and the Lusamine family."]

Unova's Flying Cloud Daily:

["Champion Alder's ace Pokémon, Volcarona, has passed away due to illness. Although the Unova League Chairman gifted him a new Larvesta, it's unlikely that this little one could ever replace Volcarona's place in Alder's heart."]

Hoenn's Mauville TV:

["The Hoenn Chairman expressed his opinion on Dr. Stephen during an interview, stating that Dr. Stephen's relationships would not undermine his contributions to fostering harmony between humans and Pokémon. Furthermore, he suggested that the League laws should be amended for Dr. Stephen, granting national heroes like him the privilege of polygamy!"

Wallace, during an interview with Hoenn's famous journalist duo, Gabby and Ty, openly supported the chairman's statement and shared his views:

"[I fully endorse the legalization of polygamy. A historic figure like Dr. Stephen should leave behind more descendants and pass on his exceptional genes. This would contribute to the harmony between humans and Pokémon. If Alola or Galar refuses to implement such a law, Hoenn welcomes Dr. Stephen with open arms. We're willing to make exceptions for him."]

One day later:

Winona announced during an interview that she had unilaterally broken up with Wallace. The reason? She was extremely dissatisfied with Wallace's pro-polygamy comments the previous day and suspected him of infidelity.

PS: Bro got cooked.
