Chapter 699 - 698: The Avenger
The Pokémon Ninjask is quite well-known, primarily due to its incredible speed, which is among the highest of all Pokémon.
Except for its physical attack, which has a value of 90, the rest of its stats are rather mediocre. However, its speed reaches an astonishing value of 160, a truly remarkable figure.
The Bug/Ground-type Pokémon Nincada can evolve into Ninjask upon reaching level 20. While this species of Pokémon is rare, it’s not impossible to find.
Cain, however, was more interested in the other Pokémon next to Ninjask: Shedinja. Whether it should be considered a true Pokémon is unclear, but since it can be captured with a Poké Ball, it likely qualifies.
This peculiar Pokémon originates from the exoskeleton that Nincada leaves behind when evolving into Ninjask. Through a strange reaction, this shell gains consciousness, becoming a new Pokémon: Shedinja.
This special reaction remains unexplained, as it essentially involves the birth of a new consciousness. Though this consciousness is somewhat slow, Shedinja is still capable of communication.
Shedinja’s stats are low, with a total of only 236. Its physical attack reaches 90 points, but its speed is just 40, and most strangely, its vitality is only 1 point.
This means Shedinja is extremely fragile; a single hit could knock it out.
However, Shedinja possesses a unique trait: its Wonder Guard ability, which protects it from any damage unless the move used is of a type that counters it.
