Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Corphish
Chapter 312: Corphish
After Ash secured victory at the Dewford Island Gym, Ash’s group set up camp on the beach on the other side of the town.
The main purpose of camping was to let May undergo special training, and secondly, to explore the island to see if they could capture any new Pokemon.
"May, you saw Brawly’s strength yesterday, so what tactics do you plan to use to face the Gym challenge?" Ash asked.
May was silent for a moment. "I haven’t thought of one yet ( ˵ ¯ ͒ ♦ ¯ ͒ ˵ )"
"That Machop isn’t a problem for May; the main issue is that Hariyama. That Hariyama has very strong attack and defense, so May just needs to come up with a way to defeat Hariyama," Brock reminded her.
"That’s right! But that Hariyama looks really strong!"
The problem had been identified, but May realized it was a rather difficult mountain to overcome.
Ash shook his head secretly and said, "May, you should remember the training content Brawly gave Makuhita earlier, right? You can try to find a way from that training content."
"Training content?" May fell into deep thought.
"If you really have no clue, you might as well start with the most basic training," Brock said.
...
Not far from the three of them, on the beach.
"Good morning, ocean, sky, and sun!"
"Today we must catch Pikachu and pave the way to promotion and riches, Meowth."
James and Meowth were acting unusually.
However, the other person, Jessie, was looking leisurely and unbothered.
Just as James and Meowth were arguing about wanting Jessie to be more motivated, a certain Pokemon in the sea not far from them set its sights on them.
That Pokemon rushed towards them from the sea at high speed, and after diving into the beach, it suddenly accelerated and sent the Team Rocket Trio flying.
"A sudden unpleasant feeling!"
After knocking the Team Rocket Trio away, the Pokemon seemed like it hadn’t had enough fun and charged towards the beach where Ash’s group was located.
...
"Eevee, you need to control the timing of the Swift explosion like fireworks blooming, and also..."
After Ash arranged training tasks for his Pokemon, he began performance training for Eevee to participate in the Grand Festival.
Although his Eevee was a Partner Eevee and could use those special moves, and he had also obtained an Eevee Z-Crystal, the limitations of the standard move pool made it difficult for Eevee to gain an advantage in standard battles.
Relatively speaking, in competitions with lower battle intensity like the Grand Festival, a cute Pokemon like Eevee had a significant advantage.
Having raised Eevee for so long, this Eevee of his had long since reached Elite level strength.
While Ash was training Eevee, May was also directing her own Pokemon in special training.
She chose Torchic and Treecko to challenge the Gym, so these two were the focus of her special training. As for Wurmple, because it was on the verge of evolution, she didn’t consider giving Wurmple any heavy tasks.
"Torchic, do you see those two trees? Your task is to use moves like Flame Charge and Quick Attack to exercise your speed and reaction as much as possible. Treecko, you use moves like Bullet Seed and Seed Bomb to harass..."
Just as the two were training intently, a cloud of sand suddenly rose on the other side of the beach.
"May, Brock, something is approaching, everyone be careful!" Ash quickly warned.
"Yeah!"
May and Brock nodded one after another, staring intently at the thing approaching at high speed.
That thing seemed to sense that it was being watched, and as it was about to get close, it suddenly changed direction and rushed towards the clothes that Ash’s group had hung out to dry.
Seeing this, May exclaimed, "Ah! My clothes, Treecko, use Bullet Seed quickly!"
Her Treecko jumped onto a tree trunk and spat green energy bullets directly in front of that thing.
After being hit by Bullet Seed, the thing clearly paused for a moment, but the next second it turned around and charged towards May.
Ash said, "Pikachu, use Iron Tail to flip that guy out."
"Pika!"
Pikachu ran quickly, and just as that thing was about to hit May, Pikachu stuck its glowing white tail into the sand and then pried it up suddenly.
The next second, a red lobster-like Pokemon was flipped from under the sand into mid-air.
"That is... Corphish?"
At this moment, Ash and Brock also recognized the identity of this guy.
[Pokémon: Corphish]
[Type: Water]
[Gender: Male]
[Level: Excellent Advanced]
[Ability: Hyper Cutter (Because it possesses claws it is proud of for their power, its Attack will not be lowered)]
[Potential: Elite]
[Moves: Water Gun, Harden, Bubble Beam, Crabhammer...]
May took out her Pokemon Pokedex at the first opportunity.
"Corphish, the Ruffian Pokemon, originally lived in..."
Corphish was very unhappy about being pried out by Pikachu; it raised both claws and sprayed a large amount of bubbles.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt."
"Pika～chu!"
Pikachu released a powerful electric current, which not only broke Corphish’s Bubble Beam but also gave Corphish an electrotherapy session.
Zzzzt~
After a burst of electric current, although Corphish had suffered a major blow, it had not directly lost its ability to battle.
"Not giving up? That’s really interesting. Pikachu, use Iron Tail."
Pikachu charged straight towards Corphish, its tail glowing with white light.
Facing the aggressive Pikachu, Corphish showed no fear at all. Its claws glowed with white light as it met Pikachu’s Iron Tail with Crabhammer.
Boom!
Pikachu’s Iron Tail hit hard against the right claw that Corphish swung, immediately producing a strong reaction.
As the dust settled, Corphish was holding its claw against Pikachu’s tail in a contest of strength.
Both sides looked evenly matched, but in Ash’s view, Pikachu was putting on an act for him again.
Seeing that it couldn’t win in a contest of strength, Corphish swung its other claw to hammer at Pikachu.
"Interesting little guy. Then I’ve decided you will be my third Pokemon in the Hoenn region."
Seeing Corphish struggling to fight back even though it knew it couldn’t defeat Pikachu, Ash immediately took a liking to this competitive fellow.
"Pikachu, use Thunder."
Upon hearing this, Pikachu unleashed a bolt of lightning stronger than Thunderbolt.
"Pika～chu!"
A thick, golden-yellow lightning bolt was released from Pikachu’s cheeks, enveloping Corphish at high speed.
"Xia~"
After enduring this Thunder, Corphish was unable to bear it any longer and fell down.
Ash seized the opportunity to throw a Poké Ball.
After the Poké Ball took Corphish in, it shook violently.
A dozen seconds later, accompanied by a ’thud’, the Poké Ball stopped shaking, completing the capture.
After capturing Corphish, Ash first treated Corphish, then gave it a brief introduction to his other Pokemon.
This Corphish’s way of greeting was extremely outrageous; it liked to tap others with its claws to show friendliness.
Of course, this way of greeting also brought it trouble from Ash’s Jigglypuff and Milotic.
After Jigglypuff put Corphish to sleep with Sing, it took a marker and doodled all over Corphish. In less than five minutes, Corphish was given an incredibly ugly color scheme.
As for Milotic, it was even simpler. As soon as Corphish patted her, Corphish was treated to an Aqua Tail across the face.
Yes, that’s right, it was an Aqua Tail across the face.
Milotic lashed out with her tail, and Corphish was sent flying ten meters backward.
