Chapter 1027: This Turtle Has an Internal Injury
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
"Hey! You! Be a little bolder and fight back!"
Ash suddenly shouted encouragement from behind.
Though he didn't know what was going on, it made no sense to just be beaten up for nothing.
Torkoal: "?"
It just gave Ash a confused look.
When did a human show up?
Just like a Numel, Torkoal's reactions were on the slow side.
*Swish-splat!!*
*Boom-splat!!*
*Boom! Boom! Boom...!*
Meanwhile, on the other side, the group of wild Pokémon had already launched a coordinated attack. An assortment of poison, crushed rock, and fire-based moves were unleashed upon Torkoal in unison.
*BOOM!*
The combination of moves exploded, blasting Torkoal several meters away and sending it crashing hard onto the ground.
"Wuuu..."
When Torkoal got up again, its forelegs could no longer support it, and it was left half-kneeling on the ground.
Hit by multiple moves, not to mention a super-effective Rock-type move among them, Torkoal was instantly thrown into a flickering state.
Seeing the Magmar, Koffing, and the others about to attack a second time, Ash could no longer stand it and strode forward, blocking their path to Torkoal.
"Hey! You lot, I'll be your opponent!"
"Wuuu?"
The half-fallen Torkoal could only stare in confusion at Ash, who had suddenly appeared before it.
The back of the not-so-tall human gave it a strange feeling it had never experienced before.
But the wild Pokémon on the other side didn't care. Magmar's scorching flames, Koffing's poison gas, and a Rock Slide from the Numel and a Slugma rushed forward together once again.
"I choose you!"
Ash quickly threw a Poké Ball in front of him.
*Bang!*
A red light flashed, and a Corphish appeared before him.
"Heh heh!"
The long-unseen Corphish brandished its two large pincers, puffing out its chest defiantly with an arrogant look.
Seeing multiple moves coming at them, Ash raised his hand and pointed.
"Use Crabhammer!"
Corphish understood. Its six clawed legs churned wildly, and its whole body kicked up a cloud of dust as it charged forward.
As it moved, it raised one of its large pincers. Watery energy gathered, forming a blue-and-white pincer of water, which it held before it as it dashed forward.
*Pffft! Pffft!*
As if carrying a shield, several attacks crashed against the indestructible Crabhammer, only to be deflected away. They didn't even hinder Corphish's ferocious, accelerating dash.
However, the volley of attacks also completely depleted the energy for Crabhammer in Corphish's left pincer.
"Heh heh heh!"
Yet Corphish's fighting spirit remained high. Its small but tough body shot into the air, leaping directly toward the Magmar.
To catch the thieves, you must first catch the king!
And at this moment, on Corphish's other pincer, the power of its Crabhammer was still in perfect condition.
Dual Pincer Crabhammer—one as a shield, one as a spear.
This was a move Corphish and Ash had created together.
But this wild Magmar hadn't become the boss of this group just because of its height.
"Aargh!"
It let out a fierce roar and threw a powerful Fire Punch of its own, smashing it toward the incoming Corphish.
*BOOM!*
Fire Punch and Crabhammer met head-on. A massive bang erupted as the two opposing forces of water and flame collided, instantly creating a huge cloud of billowing steam at the point of impact.
"Heh heh!"
Corphish gave a low shout and put a second burst of power into its swing, extinguishing the Magmar's Fire Punch and even sending the latter flying.
The sight of its petite body sending the much larger Magmar flying was incredibly fierce.
"Heh heh~!"
After landing, Corphish once again raised its head defiantly.
Ash's Corphish has the Adaptability ability. When it uses a move that matches its type, its power is greatly increased.
Right now, Corphish is a pure Water-type. When it evolves in the future, it will receive a massive power increase when using both Water- and Dark-type moves.
"Aargh...!" "Wuu wuu...!!"
Seemingly intimidated by Corphish's overpowering water-infused punch, the wild Pokémon started to cry out in alarm.
To an outsider, Crabhammer looks similar to moves like Fire Punch. But in terms of sheer power, it was definitely a top-tier version of Fire Punch.
*Tat-tat-tat...!*
Led by the Magmar, the group of wild Pokémon immediately scattered, disappearing in a flash down a nearby branch path.
After dealing with the immediate trouble, Ash finally turned to look at the Torkoal, which was in a flickering state.
"Are you okay, Torkoal?"
Ash couldn't help but reach out and pat its flat head.
Unlike the smooth head of a water turtle like Squirtle, a fire turtle's head felt much rougher. A continuous heat emanated from it into his palm, making it quite hot to the touch.
All in all, it didn't feel great.
"Waaah!"
But upon receiving kindness from a strange human, the Torkoal actually started crying loudly again.
*Whoosh!!*
Two fountain-like streams of water gushed out again, catching the nearby Pikachu off guard and splashing him right in the face.
But it hadn't been crying for long before the Torkoal let out a wail of pain, and its whole body collapsed heavily to the ground, completely losing consciousness.
Apparently, even before the last attack, this Torkoal had already sustained considerable injuries.
Brock quickly took out a Full Heal and a Super Potion and sprayed them on Torkoal, but they had little effect.
"This turtle has an internal injury. It needs to get professional treatment at a Pokémon Center," Brock said seriously.
Against long-accumulated internal injuries, common, convenient potions don't have much of an effect.
"In that case..."
Seeing that Lavaridge Town wasn't far, Ash didn't hesitate. He bent his knees and hoisted the nearly one-hundred-kilogram Torkoal onto his back.
*Thump-thump-thump!*
Then, he started running at full speed, sprinting towards the exit of the Fiery Path.
Brock & Blue: "..."
Unbelievable. This Torkoal is as heavy as a huge block of refined steel, yet he can carry it on his back and even run as if he's flying?
*And what's with the change in you?* Brock frowned. If this were the old Ash, he would have taken out a Poké Ball by now.
"I don't mean anything by this," Ash muttered to the Pokémon on his back. "I'm just trying to get you to the Pokémon Center more easily."
But watching Ash carry the hundred-kilogram Torkoal, gradually disappearing from sight in just a moment, Brock and Blue could only suppress their urge to comment and quickly hurried to keep up.
"Heh heh heh~!!!"
Meanwhile, Corphish, who hadn't had its fill of fighting, was waving its large pincers and dashing ahead to clear the way.
When it encountered wild Pokémon dozing on the sides of the path, Corphish would even provocatively smash a pincer down on them.
The kind that smashes and runs.
