Chapter 185 Desert Tyrant
Chapter 185 Desert Tyrant
"Well!"
The Volcano, which had been locked in a fierce battle with Shakiras, immediately disregarded everything upon hearing Lu An's command.
With its mouth slightly open, a super flame shot out.
Despite being only one meter tall, Shakiras weighs over 100 kilograms.
However, the flames of the fire moth not only had extremely high heat, but also tremendous force, pushing it out of the cave entrance despite its weight of over 100 kilograms.
"Squeak!"
Shakiras, who always stayed in his cave, became even more irritable after seeing the sun, instead of calming down.
Especially when it saw Kona and the others in the cave, it believed that Lu An and the others had trespassed into its territory.
When surrounded by enemies, what choices do powerful Ground-type Pokémon often make?
Regardless of what other Ground-type Pokémon might do, Shakiras has made its decision.
"Squeak!"
Shakiras's body slammed heavily onto the ground, and a strong tremor swept through the crowd.
Moreover, after Shakiras used "Earthquake," the cave also shook violently.
Many huge rocks fell from the side of the cave and piled up at the entrance. At this moment, Kona and the others were only one step away from the entrance!
At this crucial moment, Lorelei decisively threw her Poké Ball:
"Sister with the slicked-back lips!"
"Miju!"
After standing up, the woman with the smirk slammed her hand heavily on the ground.
In an instant, three or five icicles rose from the ground and quickly extended from the ground to the top of the cave.
Several towering ice pillars connect the ground to the cave ceiling, while also fiercely resisting the tremors of the "earthquake" to prevent the cave entrance from collapsing.
"Onix!"
"Roar!"
Similarly, Xiao Gang's Onix once again stepped forward, coiling itself around the group.
He braced his head against the cave entrance where boulders kept falling, protecting everyone along with the ice pillars of the Lady with the Mist.
"Quickly, get out of here!"
The investigators from Hirabe kept running around, leading the research team, led by Professor Allen, out of the cave.
"Boom!"
Countless boulders fell, and the once passable cave entrance was instantly reduced to ruins by Shakiras's "earthquake".
Fortunately, thanks to the combined efforts of Jynx and Onix, everyone has safely evacuated from the cave.
The "earthquake" in Shakiras did not have the desired effect.
Only Onix, having withstood the "earthquakes" from both ends of the cave and being weak in the Ground type, collapsed helplessly to the ground.
"Thank you for your hard work, Onix."
Although we lost Onix, a powerful ally, the fact that everyone else is safe and sound is good news.
However, Shakiras, the instigator of the "earthquake" and the victim of the invasion of his lair, was clearly quite dissatisfied with this.
"Squeak!"
After a furious roar, Shakiras's pupal-like body began to emit a white light.
"Seriously? Can Pokémon just evolve like that? Can they really just suddenly become powerful like that?"
Despite his complaints, Lu An didn't dare to be careless after seeing Shakiras covered in white light.
"Bai Ling, take the others and retreat a bit further away."
After a while.
"Banjilashi!"
A colossal creature, completely different from Shakiras and more than twice as tall and strong, appeared before Lu An.
And the instant it appeared, a huge sandstorm inexplicably rose from the flat land in front of the cave entrance.
It is Tyranitar, a desert tyrant with the ability to create sandstorms and easily use its power to change the terrain. It is also known as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon that matures late in life.
During a sandstorm, countless grains of sand, enveloped by strong winds, act like knives, cutting into the body of the fire moth and causing it continuous damage.
"Vulcanmoth is a Bug/Fire type, and it is at a type disadvantage when battling against the Rock/Dark type Lackey."
"Faced with a sandstorm, wouldn't it be a better choice to send the super-class Swampert and Tyranitar to battle, or to send out the Steel-type Corviknight?"
Longze Road.
However, both Kona and Bai Ling shook their heads.
“Longze, although you’ve been hanging out with your idol lately, it seems you don’t really know him very well.”
Longze was somewhat puzzled:
"Don't you understand?"
"Which Pokémon in the Special Grade's roster is better at battling against Lamesh?"
Bai Ling smiled and shook her head:
Have you forgotten his nickname?
Long Ze didn't hesitate:
"I know Lu An is hot-tempered."
Bai Ling looked up at Lu An and the fire moth in front of him:
"Then you should know that for that guy, having a disadvantageous attribute is never a reason to avoid battle."
Although Bai Ling is a senior investigator, and talking back to one's superior is a major taboo for investigators, Long Ze couldn't help but show a look of doubt on his face.
After all, even a rookie investigator like him knows that persisting in combat under unfavorable conditions is no different from an investigator breaking the precept against anger.
How could Lu An, a top-level investigator, possibly have such low-level combat skills?
Ryuzawa's mentor, Hirabe, clearly saw through Ryuzawa's thoughts.
He gently tapped Long Ze on the head with a chop:
“Just now in the cave, Shakiras caused quite a bit of trouble for the Vulcan Moth, who has difficulty moving around.”
"However, in order to lure Shakiras out of the cave, Volcano continued to faithfully carry out the orders of Luant and the others, even though it was frustrated by it for a long time."
"Neither trainers nor Pokémon are absolutely rational beings. Understanding one's own Pokémon's thoughts is an essential skill for trainers and even investigators."
"Even considering Volcano's feelings, Lu Ante and the others will not replace Volcano."
After listening to his senior's words, Long Ze thoughtfully withdrew his expression and turned his gaze to the arrogant tyrant in the sandstorm:
"But what if Volcarona gets hurt by Tyranitar? We still have to go up the mountain, right?"
Hirabe couldn't help but chuckle.
“Hey, Xiao Zeze, have you forgotten that Bangiras’s opponent is your idol? It’s good that you have a little more faith in your idol.”
Upon hearing Hirabe's words, Ryuzawa immediately realized what was happening.
Yes!
That's Lu An's Fire God Moth!
His worries were completely unnecessary!
Thinking of this, Long Ze blushed deeply.
On the field, just as Bai Ling and the others had said, Lu An showed no intention of recalling the Fire God Moth.
A smile even appeared on his lips:
"Shakira, no, Tyranitar, you were having a lot of fun in the cave just now, taking advantage of your physical strength."
"I just don't know if you can keep being this tough."
"Desert Tyrant?"
"I wonder how you can be a tyrant without sandstorms."
"Vulcan moth, 'Sunny Day'!"
