Chapter 276: Second Round
It’s hard to say who had the upper hand. Although Honchkrow has strengthened by using the Nasty Plot twice, it can only damage Ferrothorn with Dark Pulse. Meanwhile, the advantage of having set up three layers of Spikes hasn’t shown any effect yet.
Ferrothorn’s defense was incredibly strong. Without the Nasty Plot’s boost, Honchkrow’s move wouldn’t have been able to damage Ferrothorn at all. But in this back-and-forth battle, with the strengthened Dark Pulse, Honchkrow slowly wore down Ferrothorn by virtue of its superior speed, even after being hit by Leech Seed. However, the moment the battle ended, Honchkrow also lost its ability to continue fighting.
“It’s now 2 vs. 2, but there’s still a layer of Spikes on the arena…”
The battle continued, and this time both Trainers quickly threw out their Poké Balls. Joya sent out a Braviary, while Shiro sent out Emboar again.
“Roar…” Standing on the ground, countless beams of light suddenly burst out from the ground, directly piercing into Emboar’s body, causing it to cry out in pain.
“Now, Braviary, Crush Claw—”
Taking advantage of Emboar being in pain, Braviary slashed its powerful and sharply glowing claws, which were capable of lifting cars and flying with it the sky, towards Emboar.
“This move is going to be lethal for Emboar, who has already been hurt!”
“Yeah, Joya’s Braviary can crush rocks with its claws without even using a move.”
