Chapter 114 The Angry Shell, Open!
"road-"
Sensing the powerful aura surging through his body, Riolu instinctively clenched his fist.
Eevee's new move seems terrifyingly powerful!
But if we have this borrowed power, we should be able to win against that big guy up there!
After smashing the boulder thrown by the hairy crab with a single punch, Riolu flicked its wrist, appearing quite relaxed.
Next, all you need to do is find a way to get close enough to that big crab and punch it!
Seeing that his sneak attack had failed, the hairy crab quickly realized its current predicament.
These two humans were clearly after me, and they were quite cunning in driving away my other underlings while I was taking a nap, leaving me to fight two against one.
As a Rock-type Pokémon, it excels at throwing rocks at opponents from this distance to annoy them. Many challengers have been routed by the Rock Slide attack used by a group of Crabcrabs.
Archers, fire!
Without these unique skills, it would have been impossible for it to occupy that cave full of magical grass for so long.
Now, however, his advantages seem somewhat awkward.
After several attempts to land rockfalls and block rocks failed to hit its opponent, and seeing Riolu, which inherited its terrifying aura, slowly approaching, the isolated and helpless Crab is now truly panicking.
But it was unwilling to give up this precious land just like that!
While the treasure owner, the hairy cliff crab, was contemplating whether to retreat, Qingyu was also silently observing it.
【Female hairy crab (special individual)】
[Attribute: Rock]
【Trait: Rage Shell】
[Moves: Clamp, Rock Smash, Block Path, Rock Blockade, Rock Collapse]
Just like in the game, it has the Rage Shell trait.
Pokémon with this characteristic will completely abandon defense due to anger when their stamina is low, thus greatly increasing their offensive capabilities.
If possible, it's best to finish it off in one go, without giving the hairy crab a chance to fight back.
Riolu and Bulbasaur are both Fighting-type, making them extremely effective against Rock-type Crab. However, they might need to find a way to get close to Crab to deliver a fatal blow.
"Here we go, Riolu!"
After Qingyu spoke, Riolu immediately understood, kicked off with all its might, and charged towards the direction where Crab was.
"We need to catch up too, Butupa!"
Nemo followed closely behind, directing the watchman to go after them.
"road!"
As it ran, Riolu seemed to be muttering something to itself, glancing at Butubo from time to time.
A bold guess immediately popped into Qingyu's mind—could Riolu be giving him instructions?
As everyone knows, Riolu has a nickname: "Riolu the Guide".
It is the only Pokémon that can simultaneously learn the move "Guide," which raises both its teammate's attack and defense by one level, and also possesses the Prankster ability, which always gives it a head start.
If a Pokémon of the same caliber as Lillian is leading the charge during a team battle, all the Pokémon on your side will probably be called to follow suit.
Let's go for it again, Coach Li!
With Rioluga's buff, Bulbasaur and Riolu were completely unafraid of the flying rocks and quickly closed in on their opponent.
"Riolus, use Rock Smash repeatedly!"
Because they had created some distance, Qingyu could only give commands by shouting.
Crabcrab was starting to panic, because it realized that it couldn't keep up with these two guys. Generally speaking, Rock-type Pokémon have very high Protection, but they also have a clear weakness.
It's slow.
With a trainer involved, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
But obviously, it's impossible for a hairy cliff crab to have a wild aunt to provide it with a space to play in.
Of course, its speed isn't actually that slow for a Rock-type Pokémon.
However, compared to these two little guys who rush over at the slightest call, we're still a bit out of our depth.
Riolu and Bulbasaur immediately unleashed a series of attacks, leaving the massive Treasure Master Crab with virtually no ability to dodge.
After being repeatedly struck by a mob that showed no sportsmanship, its anger began to build.
Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a sick crab!
I'm angry!
After being attacked by Riolu's rock-breaking attack again, some of the thick carapace on the surface of the hairy crab suddenly fell off due to the attack.
At the same time, its gaze became increasingly sharp, as if it had truly entered a serious state.
Angry carapace, open!
As the boss entered the second phase, Qingyu couldn't help but smile.
This feature seems powerful, but once you know its effects, you can use it to your advantage to restrict your opponent.
For example, the Rock Smash that Riolu was using just now—
Rock Smash is a common skill-based move in Fighting-type Pokémon. Through clever attacks, it can sometimes weaken the opponent's defenses unexpectedly.
With the added effect of the shell shedding due to the Wrathful Shell ability, Crab is now probably as fragile as a piece of paper.
"Riolus, Brick Break!"
Qingyu spoke again, ready to end this battle in one fell swoop.
"road!"
While Crab was still extremely angry from the attack, Riolu threw its next punch.
With a powerful bang, the force instantly pierced through its almost non-existent thin shell, knocking the hairy crab to the ground, nearly causing it to roll its eyes back.
Was this little guy holding back during his attack just now?
It originally planned to take the opportunity to run back to its cave to steal some magical grass and recover its strength before returning for a second battle.
But now it seems like it would have been better to just feign death in a fit of anger!
If I get punched again, can I withstand it?
After completing its thought process in a fraction of a second, the hairy crab decisively chose to follow its heart, rolled its eyes, and fainted belly up.
Generally speaking, once you're physically exhausted, these innocent Pokémon that the trainer has captured will stop, and you'll be safe.
"road?"
Just as Riolu was about to unleash a serious punch, his opponent ran out of energy and had to stop in mid-air.
But that punch just now shouldn't have been capable of killing the opponent in one blow.
Riolu frowned, looked at the unconscious Crab on the ground, and quickly discovered the blind spot.
Shouldn't crabs foam at the mouth after losing consciousness?
So that's how it is. They wanted to feign weakness and then launch a fatal counterattack when I lowered my guard?
Having understood his opponent's thoughts, Riolu immediately stopped hesitating.
"road!"
Another punch was thrown.
This time, the hairy crab, which was still pretending to be dead, was completely unprepared. One punch sent it foaming at the mouth and its eight legs flying into the air.
Witnessing such a bloody scene, Qingyu couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Then, I gave a thumbs up to Riolu in the distance.
As expected of a cautious Pokémon, it learned to finish off opponents without being taught; its battle talent is truly outrageous!
With that punch, the Hairy Crab probably won't be able to go through a third stage anymore.
