Chapter 352: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [352]
When it came to other questions, Kiawe might feel a bit uncertain. But when it came to battle strategies, his confidence soared.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Kiawe confidently gave his answer:
"The three Pokémon mentioned in the question... Although Zubat's wings are injured, it doesn't explicitly say it has lost its ability to fly, so I'll rule that out."
"Next, Exploud... While sneaking up on an Exploud playing in the mud might work for a surprise attack, it would undoubtedly provoke its fury. An angry Exploud would make a deafening noise, potentially attracting other Pokémon and putting us in danger."
"So... I'll have Squirtle attack Trapinch! As a Ground-type Pokémon, Trapinch is weak against Water-types like Squirtle. And since Trapinch is dozing off, we can take this opportunity to land a decisive hit, capture it, and safely leave the cave!"
The more Kiawe spoke, the more confident he became.
"Your analysis up to that point was decent, but unfortunately..." Luo Yuan spread his hands with a shrug, "You're still wrong!"
"Why?" Kiawe looked perplexed.
His reasoning seemed flawless!
"You're correct that Zubat's injured wings don't mean it has lost its flying or battling ability, and that an enraged Exploud could indeed attract other Pokémon or even cause a cave collapse," Luo Yuan explained.
"But your judgment about Trapinch was off," he continued.
