Bang!
The two Pokémon that had simultaneously used [Aqua Jet] collided head-on midway!
Water sprayed everywhere!
Their momentum burst outward as white vapor!
"Ugh!"
Clawitzer let out a muffled grunt as it landed in a shallow puddle, splashing up a great deal of water.
Who knew what this big crayfish was thinking? It was clearly a slow, special-attack-oriented Pokémon, yet it insisted on using a physical move to clash with a fast physical attacker.
Wasn't that just asking to get beaten up?
"That's why wild Pokémon aren't very quick-witted."
Heiduo sighed. "Iron Tail."
"Float!"
Floatzel, which had also just landed amid tender aquatic grass, obeyed. Its two tails gleamed with a steel-like shine as it charged toward Clawitzer, then abruptly leaped into the air, spun, and lashed fiercely down at Clawitzer's body!
At close range, Floatzel's extraordinary speed was once again fully demonstrated.
Compared to it, Clawitzer's speed was downright embarrassing. Even with Aqua Jet's acceleration, it could at most meet Floatzel face-to-face, much less strike back first.
And it really was stupid. Only after Floatzel got close did it think to use a long-range move, gathering Dragon Flame in the cannon muzzle of its right claw.
Unfortunately, it was a little too late.
Its two tails, reflecting metallic light, struck its body—which was less than one-fifth the size of its right claw—and smashed it back into the water. The nearly formed Dragon Pulse in its claw cannon was interrupted as a result!
Seeing this, Heiduo immediately threw a Net Ball.
You did not necessarily have to beat a Pokémon completely senseless to catch it. A moment like this, when Clawitzer had suffered a heavy blow and was briefly dazed, was an excellent opportunity to capture it.
The Net Ball cut through the air and struck Clawitzer on the head.
