Chapter 252 Escape?

...

"How do you feel?"

Seeing the three Pokémon wake up, Natsu immediately asked road.

There's no rush to get them into Absol's battle, as the battle is almost settled.

Beedrill They just entered a strange state created by Jirachi, but that doesn't mean they didn't notice the changes outside.

Sensing that Natsu might be in danger, Kadabra and Togetic immediately want to wake up, but Beedrill stops them.

According to Beedrill, Natsu will wake them immediately if they really sense danger.

Since he didn't do that, it was fine, he was sure that all they had to do was get what they could get from Jirachi as soon as possible, and then wake up to Help Natsu.

It turns out that Natsu wasn't in a crisis, and he was even calm.

"Beer." Beedrill looked at Kadabra, then at Togetic, who, as the representative of the three Pokémon, moved towards the Natsu nod.

'It feels very good.'

"That's good. Now let's see how Absol fights, you should also learn something."

Finished, looking towards Absol and Nidoking fight.

Force Characteristic Trait plus Life Orb's Nidoking is really strong, but Absol is stronger.

Natsu reckons this Absol will soon cross the threshold again and enter the quasi-Elite level.

Coupled with Absol's special Future Sight ability, combined with the Me First move, Nidoking is hard to take advantage of.

'Absol's Future Sight ability is very special, is it because of his innate talent or because'

Natsu thought to himself, looking towards Jirachi who was sleeping not far away.

Or because of Jirachi's Help?

Jirachi is indeed sleeping, but it doesn't mean that Jirachi is not showing his ability, and even Jirachi who is sleeping can fight, just like Abra who often fell asleep when he was young, but if he perceives danger, he will subconsciously Use Teleport to escape.

Togetic They get the benefit of Help Jirachi because of it, there's no reason to pay more for Absol without getting any benefit.

The battle continues, but the outcome of the battle is already clear.

While focusing on the battle, Beedrill moved his position quietly to prevent Clay from escaping.

Togetic cheers Absol excitedly, and can't wait to come on the field and give it Help.

Only Kadabra, staring closely at Absol's sharp horn that lights up from time to time, is the key to its use of "Future Sight".

Unconsciously.

Absol's corner lit up again. When using Future Sight, Kadabra's eyes also lit up with a blue halo, and the Psychic on his body was surging, echoing Absol's energy fluctuations.

"en?"

Natsu looked towards Kadabra with some surprise, he noticed the strangeness of Kadabra.

"Future Sight?"

Somewhat pleasantly surprised.

"Yong Ji." Kadabra spoke slowly, like a murmur.

'Jirachi taught me.'

Natsu was taken aback.

It seems that Kadabra got the benefit from Jirachi by acquiring the "Future Sight" move, and there are some special uses, similar to Absol's special use of "Future Sight".

This is good news.

"Yong Ji!" Kadabra spoke again, the blue light in his eyes suddenly subsided, and the Psychic on his body also returned to his body.

'He's running away! '

Almost as soon as Kadabra spoke, Clay gave the order for Nidoking to hold Absol.

At the same time, a Poké Ball was thrown, and a wounded Excadrill appeared.

Clay glared at Natsu fiercely and hugged Excadrill.

Excadrill, a Ground Type and Steel Type, has a very powerful Dig ability. The moment he was summoned by Clay, he knew what he was going to do.

The sharp horn, which looks like a drill bit on its head, glows with metallic sheen, and turns its head towards the thick wall on one side.

As long as the Excadrill touches a rock wall, it will show its superb Dig ability, and can escape long distances in the soil in the blink of an eye.

"Beer!"

At this time.

Ready Beedrill at the moment of hearing Kadabra's reminder.

Got it.

I saw a faint halo on its body, and its speed suddenly surged. With the beat of the golden lines on its wings, the speed instantly exceeded the fastest speed it could achieve before.

Agility!

'Then Beedrill learned the use of Agility from Jirachi. ' Seeing this, Natsu thought to himself.

'What did Togetic learn?'

Boom——

The X-Scissor of the azure light with the fluorescent quenching slashed hard at the full speed of the Beedrill.

However.

Clay was clearly prepared, guarding Beedrill's interception and throwing the Poké Ball again.

In red light, a seriously injured Golbat intercepted Beedrill's attack path.

At the same time, the Excadrill turned around immediately, and its choice to jut into the wall was to fake a shot, the real target.

Underfoot!

"A very sensible choice, a strong man broke his wrist." Natsu muttered to himself.

He wasn't surprised by Clay's escape, and even Natsu wasn't surprised that he couldn't stop him from escaping.

This is the reason why he didn't even know that Beedrill had the opportunity to attack Clay directly before.

a dying, starved camel is still bigger than a horse.

A seasoned hunter like Clay must have left his back and attacked blindly, but he might have fallen into his favor.

Resolutely abandoning a few Pokémons as a price to escape, with Clay's strength, Natsu can't stop it.

And when this kind of things have reached a dead end, if he presses hard every step of the way, it may make him fight back desperately, and even bite Natsu to death, which is not worth the loss.

The only thing he can do is to make him pay as much as possible.

However.

Natsu had a smile on his face, and said with a low laugh: "'To surround the three ques and one, to stay alive.' It's not just for use in war."

As soon as his voice fell, Excadrill took Clay into the ground.

However.

The moment it just entered the Ground.

"Flygon, Earthquake!"

A voice with an imposing manner came from the entrance of the cave.

Immediately after, the Ground vibrates with different frequencies.

Kadabra wraps Natsu and several Pokémon in Psychic, including Jirachi's sleeping cocoon away from contact with the Ground.

Boom–

A crack appeared in the Ground, and Excadrill, who lost his combat capability, and Clay, who was also in a coma, were shaken out of the crack.

"Draconid Tribe" Tomatoma, arrived in time.

Tomatoma was notified at the same time that Natsu found Clara.

I didn't want him to arrive in time, just let him know the location.

didn't expect, Tomatoma really arrived at the last minute with his familiarity with the terrain in Meteor Falls.

The Earthquake move was the final blow to Clay and a very out of shape Excadrill.

It completely cut off the possibility of his escape.

Immediately afterwards, the cloak-flying Ryuichi, riding a Flygon, appeared in Natsu's sight.

"Mr. Yanxia, ​​I'm not late, right?"

On the other side, Nidoking finally fell under the attack of Absol.

"No, just right."

Natsu said, walking towards Absol.

While squatting down and gently stroking the wound on its body, he reached out and touched Nidoking lying on the ground.

A round dark red orb appeared in his palm.

turned over the palm and put it away.

Life Orb, get it.
