"Chah!!"
Armaldo was also a creature with a volatile temper. It immediately brandished its claws, sending several huge rocks flying out at once!
Rock Blast!!
Crawdaunt, on the other hand, once again used Harden, standing its ground.
Only this time, a silver-white luster flickered across its deep-red body.
"Dee-dee-dee, Crawdaunt has mastered a new move: Iron Defense."
The Pokédex automatically provided the information.
Iron Defense was essentially a superior version of Harden, capable of boosting its defense even higher.
*Bang! Poof! Bang! Poof!*
The rocks from Rock Blast landed on the Iron Defense, bursting into shards and scattering everywhere.
"Chah!!"
With its prized move rendered ineffective, Armaldo's rage hit its peak. It raised its blood-red claws and charged forward once more!
Slash!!
"Heh heh!!"
Crawdaunt, showing no weakness, also raised its claws this time. Its lower limbs moved swiftly as it rushed to meet its target.
However, its pincer claws were covered in a thin membrane of dark purple energy.
*Clang!*
The two head-on moves collided. Amidst the explosive sound, a shockwave rolled out, and both were knocked back several meters.
They were evenly matched!
"Dee-dee-dee. Crawdaunt has mastered a new move, Grafting."
The Pokédex automatically reported.
Ash: "?"
He knew this move; it was called Foul Play. It turned the opponent's power into its own, striking back with the same amount of force.
So when did Foul Play get a name change?!
"Chah!!"
But now was not the time to get hung up on a move's name. Having been repeatedly thwarted, Armaldo's fury had nearly driven it to madness.
It retracted its two claws in front of its chest, and its entire body began to stockpile an immense power.
A red light, the symbol of a stat increase, appeared on its body.
"What's this...?"
Ash quickly pulled out his Pokédex to check.
"Dee-dee-dee. Move, Meteor Beam: A Rock-type move. On the first turn, it stockpiles energy and increases Special Attack power. On the second turn, it unleashes a powerful beam of energy."
The Pokédex answered promptly.
Ash didn't dare be careless. Seeing the aura around his opponent grow stronger, he quickly commanded:
"In that case, we'll use Swords Dance!!"
Since they both needed a turn to charge up, they might as well both power up and settle the outcome on the second turn!
"Heh heh!!"
Crawdaunt slammed its pincers together, letting out a rousing cry.
Above its head, three phantom swords struck against each other, causing a dense, sharp red light to burst from Crawdaunt's body.
Its Attack Power was boosted significantly!
"Chah!!"
In the next instant, Armaldo opened its eyes. It also spread open the claws held before its chest.
*Swoosh! Boom!*
A beam of greenish-white energy suddenly blasted forth, shooting out as if to pierce through everything!
Meteor Beam!!
"Crawdaunt, use Crabhammer at maximum power!!"
Ash, showing no weakness, ordered a frontal attack.
Now that it had evolved, Crawdaunt's strength was definitely enough to contend with its opponent head-on.
"Heh heh!!"
Crawdaunt let out a loud cry as its two menacing pincers were enveloped in a layer of watery bubbles.
Then came the dual boost from its Adaptability ability and the Swords Dance status.
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
The scale of the water flowing around its pincers instantly surged, completely transforming its two claws into massive shockwaves of water.
Wielding this super-enhanced Crabhammer, Crawdaunt charged forward recklessly, ignoring all reason as it headed straight for the oncoming Meteor Beam.
It held one Crabhammer forward as a shield, while its lower claws continuously propelled it onward.
*Pssh-shoo!*
The powerful energy of the Meteor Beam was constantly dispersed and torn apart by the Crabhammer shield, scattering to the sides, completely unable to halt Crawdaunt's advance.
"Heh heh!!"
When it was less than two meters from its target, Crawdaunt leaped up violently and smashed its other, completely untouched, enhanced Crabhammer down hard.
*BOOM!*
The mighty, water-infused pincer slammed viciously onto the Armaldo's head!
The unrivaled force sent the latter flying, smashing it heavily into the ancient wall at the edge of the area and embedding it half a meter deep!
It's super effective!!
*Rumble!*
After taking such an impact, the floor on that side began to tremble and crack, revealing a gaping fissure.
"Poké Ball, go!!"
Ash seized the opportunity, throwing a Poké Ball from a distance just as the Armaldo landed.
*Clink!*
With a crisp sound, the red light from the Poké Ball sucked the fainted Armaldo straight inside.
*Wobble... Wobble... Wobble!*
After shaking three times, the Poké Ball stopped moving.
"I successfully caught the Armaldo!"
Ash's face lit up with joy. Although this Fossil Pokémon wasn't a living fossil that had survived from ancient times, its power was still formidable.
"Though I'll have to find a chance to make it forget Meteor Beam..." he couldn't help but think to himself.
This Armaldo was clearly a pure physical brawler.
As for the special attack, Meteor Beam, despite its flashiness, its power was ridiculously weak. His Crawdaunt had torn through it with great ease.
If the Armaldo had used a different ultimate move, they might have had to fight a much tougher battle.
*Rumble...!*
At that moment, the ground around the Poké Ball began to crumble.
"Pika!"
Pikachu, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally made a move. Its body shot out like a bolt of yellow lightning, firmly grabbing the Poké Ball in its paws.
Then, before the floor in that spot could give way, it kicked off and landed back by Ash's side in an incredibly fluid motion.
"That's my Pikachu, always so reliable!"
Ash rubbed his partner's head and took the Poké Ball from him.
Speaking of which, if only Pikachu could also command in battle...
That would completely double the efficiency of his special training.
He then looked over at the Crawdaunt beside him.
Its deep-red, carapace-covered body stood tall, posturing victoriously.
"Hehe, you did great! Crawdaunt!"
Ash walked over and knocked on its sturdy shell, not sparing any praise.
"Heh heh~!!"
Crawdaunt waved its pincers. Beneath its fierce expression, a satisfied and proud smile emerged.
Unlike a tyranny born of evil, this Crawdaunt's dominance was more about showing off. At its core, it was still the same Corphish it once was.
"Wuuu~!"
Nearby, Latias skillfully drifted closer and began to restore Crawdaunt's energy.
Even though it had evolved mid-battle, after just one fight, the creature was already on its last legs.
"And then there's this one..."
Ash clutched the Armaldo's Poké Ball. Given this Pokémon's fierce nature, it would probably cause trouble for some time.
