Pokemon of Galar Part 3
"Now let's go into the next one." Ash says as he takes out another Pokeball, which appears a coal mountain like Pokemon. "What is that?" May asks.
"This is a Coalossal. It is final evolution of Rolycoly. Now first, we should explain Rolycoly."
As he shows the picture, he says, "Most of the Rolycoly's body has the same composition as coal. Fittingly, this Pokémon was first discovered in coal mines about 400 years ago."
Lillie says, "See the small wheel on the bottom? That enables him to race around like a unicycle, even on rough, rocky terrain. Burning coal sustains it."
"So it is made of Coal...interesting." Luke says.
"There is more to it." Ash says as he shows the evolution. "And this is Carkol, the first evolution of Rolycoly. It forms coal inside its body. Coal dropped by this Pokémon once helped fuel the lives of people in the Galar region."
"Of course, and by rapidly rolling its legs, it can travel at over 18 mph. The temperature of the flames it breathes exceeds 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit." Lillie says.
"So it gains the Fire Type." Helen says.
"And finally, Coalossal. You see, it's usually peaceful, but the vandalism of mines enrages it. Offenders will be incinerated with flames that reach 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit." Ash says which causes them to shock. Lillie says, "While it's engaged in battle, its mountain of coal will burn bright red, sending off sparks that scorch the surrounding area. Not to mention that it has a Gigantamax as well."
"What does it look like?" Gladion asks.
Ash shows the Gigantamax and it seems to be a great mess. Ash says, "Its body is a colossal stove. With Gigantamax energy stoking the fire, this Pokémon's flame burns hotter than 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit."
"But it is not that bad as well. Since when Galar was hit by a harsh cold wave, this Pokémon served as a giant heating stove and saved many lives." Lillie says. "It knows the move G-Max Volcalith. Like Rollout, it can only use this move for four or five turns until it is back to normal. While Max Rockfall creates the Sandstorm."
"That's awesome." Luke says. "And does it knows some special moves as well?"
"Of course, it learns Tar Shot. And surely it is not good to be sprayed at it...since it lowers our speed and even make Fire moves more powerful against you." Lillie says. "As for how we get this Pokemon, let's see that it bumps into Ash and the Pokeball falls, causing it to be captured while it didn't stop earlier."
"I see. That's kinda funny." Drew says.
Then Dugtrio, Excadrill, Gigalith, Conkeldurr, Swoobat, Noivern and Steelix are done, Ash says, "Now the next one is this." He sends out a fish like Pokemon. Reisa says, "Water type, right?"
"Yep, first, we'll show the Arrokuda. If it sees any movement around it, this Pokémon charges for it straightaway, leading with its sharply pointed jaw. It's very proud of that jaw. And after it's eaten its fill, its movements become extremely sluggish. That's when Cramorant swallows it up."
"Cramorant? What's that?" Reisa asks.
"That will be explained later." Ash says, "But let's get into the evolution. Barraskewda. This Pokémon has a jaw that's as sharp as a spear and as strong as steel. Apparently Barraskewda's flesh is surprisingly tasty, too."
"Tasty? You mean that you ate it before?" Dawn asks.
"Well, in a restaurant, but not this guy." Ash says. "It spins its tail fins to propel itself, surging forward at speeds of over 100 knots before ramming prey and spearing into them."
Reisa says, "I see. I will like to have one once we go there."
"Well, we did fish up and capture this Pokemon." Lillie says.
Namie says, "Now for the next Pokemon, even though it isn't a Normal Type, but it is a sort of. But first, let me show you this." She sends out a Meowth, and then she Gigantamax it.
"A Gigantamax Meowth? What's wrong with its body?" Nate asks.
"Well, its body has grown incredibly long and the coin on its forehead has grown incredibly large—all thanks to Gigantamax power. The pattern that has appeared on its giant coin is also thought to be the key to unlocking the secrets of the Dynamax phenomenon."
"Seriously? You mean that Meowth is associated to the Dynamax?" Serena asks.
"We don't know." Ash says, "But it can learn the move G-Max Gold Rush, which rains the money on the opponent to make them confused."
"Interesting, so we can still get money after that?" Nate asks. "Yep." Lillie says. "It replaces Max Strike, which lowers the speed."
Namie says, "Even though only the Kantonian Meowth has a Gigantamax form, but there is a Galarian form of Meowth as well."
"So you mean there is not only a Kantonian, an Alolan, there is even a Galarian?" Eve asks, but once it is shown, everyone widens their eyes. "What is that? It has a long beard..."
"Well, living with a savage, seafaring people has toughened this Pokémon's body so much that parts of it have turned to iron. These daring Pokémon have coins on their foreheads. Darker coins are harder, and harder coins garner more respect among Meowth." Namie says.
"So you mean that it is now Steel Type?" David asks.
"Yep. And but it doesn't evolve into a Persian. Instead, there is a new evolution." Ash shows them his Pokemon, which looks like a viking.
"Perrserker. What appears to be an iron helmet is actually hardened hair. This Pokémon lives for the thrill of battle. After many battles, it evolved dangerous claws that come together to form daggers when extended." Ash says.
"So it is called a Perrserker. Interesting." May says.
"Yeah, at first we are surprised to see this Pokemon, so we tried to capture it." Lillie says.
Shelia says, "And the next one is what our Grandaunt Opal likes to use in the Gym Battles. But first, I have some desserts."
As she opens the box, the group are surprised to see a lot of cake. Insey says, "What the...there are so many flavors."
"Yeah, these are the special Alcremie cakes. As you can see, Alcremie is the evolved form of Milcery. Milcery is a Fairy Pokémon was born from sweet-smelling particles in the air. Its body is made of cream."
"Wow, it looks so cute." Insey says.
"Yeah, they say that any patisserie visited by Milcery is guaranteed success and good fortune." Terra says.
"And for Alcremie." Ash sends out his Pokemon which is a Rainbow Swirl with Star Sweet. "It has 63 forms with 7 flavors and 9 decorations. This is because of the way its cells spontaneously shifted during evolution. To evolve Milcery into this Pokemon, what you need is to give a decoration to Milcery and spin with her together. Different seconds and different occasions makes them different."
"That is so cool." Emily says.
Bea says, "And there is more." She opens a box and then the cake appears, Minami asks, "Let me guess, that cake is based on its Gigantamax Form?"
"Of course." Lillie says. "Cream pours endlessly from this Pokémon's body. The cream stiffens when compressed by an impact. A harder impact results in harder cream. It launches swarms of missiles, each made of cream and loaded with 100,000 kilocalories. Get hit by one of these, and your head will swim."
"But this cake is good to eat." Bea says as Namie coughs, "Bea, you are a Fighting Type Gym Leader. You should eat too much of those."
"My apologies." Bea says.
Once they all eaten up the cake, Ash says, "I forgot to mention that it learns the move G-Max Finale, a move which helps it recovers its HP. Though Max Starfall makes the Misty Terrain."
"Cool, I am definitely going to catch one." Minami says. "Me too." Emily replies.
Ribombee, Ferrothorn and Gourgeist are done, Ash says, "Now for the next Gigantmax, I would like to have my buddy Pikachu to show off."
Pikachu nods and Elline asks, "Pikachu has Gigantamax?"
"Of course." Ash shows them as it looks much chubbier. Ash says, "Its Gigantamax power expanded, forming its supersized body and towering tail. When it smashes its opponents with its bolt-shaped tail, it delivers a surge of electricity equivalent to a lightning strike."
Lillie says, "It's G-Max Move is G-Max Volt Crash. And it paralyzes opponents, while Max Lightning creates Electric Terrain."
"Cool, Pikachu is really awesome." Elline says.
"Eevee are awesome as well." Namie says. "Since Eevee can also Gigantamax as well."
As they show the Gigantamax Eevee, she says, "Gigantamax energy upped the fluffiness of the fur around Eevee's neck. The fur will envelop a foe, capturing its body and captivating its mind. Having gotten even friendlier and more innocent, Eevee tries to play with anyone around, only to end up crushing them with its immense body."
"Yeah, I don't remember how many times I have been crushed..." Lillie says, causing them to look at her with are you serious expression.
"G-Max Cuddle is also a bad thing as well." Ash sighs, "It is a dealing damage plus Attract. Which means not only you take damage, the opposite gender Pokemon will fall in love with it as well."
"Seriously?" Mark asks in surprise.
"Yep." Ash sighs. "And for the next one is really interesting." He takes out an apple. Flora asks, "An Apple?"
But the apple breaks and then a dragon like Pokemon appears, "What is that?"
"This is Flapple." Lillie says as she sends out another Pokemon. "And this is Appletun. Both evolved from Applin."
As they show the picture, Ash says, "Applin is a Grass and Dragon Type. Applin spends its entire life inside an apple. It hides from its natural enemies, bird Pokémon, by pretending it's just an apple and nothing more. As soon as it's born, it burrows into an apple. Not only does the apple serve as its food source, but the flavor of the fruit determines its evolution."
"Are you telling me that it is a Dragon as well? Just when I thought Goomy is surprising." Drandon says.
"Now for Flapple, it was evolved from a Tart Apple. It ate a sour apple, and that induced its evolution. In its cheeks, it stores an acid capable of causing chemical burns. It flies on wings of apple skin and spits a powerful acid. It can also change its shape into that of an apple."
"So that is why you tried to trick us, right?" Flora asks.
"Yeah, as for Appletun, eating a sweet apple caused its evolution. A nectarous scent wafts from its body, luring in the bug Pokémon it preys on. Its body is covered in sweet nectar, and the skin on its back is especially yummy. Children used to have it as a snack."
"You ate it before?" Drew asks.
"No, but I dare not to since we are friends. But they both have the same Gigantamax." Ash says as they show them. "Under the influence of Gigantamax energy, it produces much more sweet nectar, and its shape has changed to resemble a giant apple. If it stretches its neck, the strong aroma of its nectar pours out. The scent is so sickeningly sweet that one whiff makes other Pokémon faint. There are G-Max Tartness, which reduces the evasion, and G-Max Sweetness, which heals the status effects, as for Max Overgrowth, it makes Grassy Terrain."
"I see..." Drandon says, but then they see that Flapple throws an apple and hits Ash. "Oww...Flapple, are you using your Grav Apple again?"
As for Lillie, she almost slipped and she says, "And for you, did you use Apple Acid?"
"So those are their signature moves?" Flora asks.
"Yeah, they have been a pain when we caught them..." Ash sighs. "We just want to give it to each other so that we can show our love..."
Meowstic, Slurpuff, Aromatisse, Araquanid and Wobbuffet are done, and then Ash sends out a white bird like Pokemon. Bea says, "Now I guess it is my turn. This is a Sirfetch'd, an evolution of Farfetch'd."
"Farfetch'd has a Galarian Form?" Mark asks.
"Yeah, pure fighting. The Farfetch'd of the Galar region are brave warriors, and they wield thick, tough leeks in battle. The stalks of leeks are thicker and longer in the Galar region. Farfetch'd that adapted to these stalks took on a unique form." Bea says.
"But to evolve it is very hard." Ash says.
"How come?" East asks.
"You have to land 3 Critical hits in a battle to evolve this Pokemon. Only Farfetch'd that have survived many battles can attain this evolution. When this Pokémon's leek withers, it will retire from combat. After deflecting attacks with its hard leaf shield, it strikes back with its sharp leek stalk. The leek stalk is both weapon and food."
"I see...it sure is hard." Nate replies.
"Though the Meteor Assault is powerful once you let him learn it. Since it makes the opponent unable to move in the next turn." Ash says.
Lanturn, Toxicroak and Scrafty are done, Terra says, "Now let me introduce this Stunfisk."
As they show the picture, Terra says, "Ground and Steel Type. Since living in mud with a high iron content has given it a strong steel body. Its conspicuous lips lure prey in as it lies in wait in the mud. When prey gets close, Stunfisk clamps its jagged steel fins down on them."
"And believe me that how many times I have been bitten by this Pokemon..." Ash frowns.
Trenor says, "Though it sure is an interesting Pokemon."
After Shuckle, Whiscash, Gastrodon, Golisopod and Barbaracle, Allister says, "Now it is my turn..."
"Another Ghost Type?" This causes some of them to get a little fear. But Ash sends out the Pokemon and Allister says, "Corsola...it has Galarian Form...watch your step...when wandering areas oceans once covered...the stone could be this Pokemon and it will curse you if you kick it!"
Allister's voice suddenly goes louder and it scares some of the girls. Ash says, "Allister, calm down. I know you are excited about this Pokemon...But as you can see, sudden climate change wiped out this ancient kind of Corsola. So this Pokémon absorbs others' life-force through its branches."
"That does not help it at all, Brother." Minami says.
"But what you see is the evolution of Corsola, Cursola." Ash says as he nods to Allister, who sighs and says, "Fine...its shell is overflowing with its heightened otherworldly energy. The ectoplasm serves as protection for this Pokémon's core spirit."
"Finally, you are talking normal..." Insey sighs.
"But be cautious of the ectoplasmic body surrounding its soul. You'll become stiff as stone if you touch it." Allister says causing Golly to say, "Wow, you are back to before again."
"Now that's that, let's go to the next Pokemon." Ash says as he sends out his human like Pokemon with a lot of hair. "First, we'll show you Impidimp. Through its nose, it sucks in the emanations produced by people and Pokémon when they feel annoyed. It thrives off this negative energy. It sneaks into people's homes, stealing things and feasting on the negative energy of the frustrated occupants."
"So a Dark Type Pokemon." Eve asks.
"And Fairy as well." Lillie says, "Its evolution Morgrem, when it gets down on all fours as if to beg for forgiveness, it's trying to lure opponents in so that it can stab them with its spear-like hair. This is his signature move False Surrender, and it never misses."
"False Surrender..." Paul mutters.
"With sly cunning, it tries to lure people into the woods. Some believe it to have the power to make crops grow." Lillie adds. "And the last one here is Grimmsnarl. With the hair wrapped around its body helping to enhance its muscles, this Pokémon can overwhelm even Machamp."
"Its hairs work like muscle fibers. When its hairs unfurl, they latch on to opponents, ensnaring them as tentacles would." Ash says. "It also has a Gigantamax for Dark Type users."
"Cool." Eve says as they show the the Gigantamax. Lillie says, "By transforming its leg hair, this Pokémon delivers power-packed drill kicks that can bore huge holes in Galar's terrain."
Ash says, "Gigantamax energy has caused more hair to sprout all over its body. With the added strength, it can jump over the world's tallest building. It learns the move G-Max Snooze, which is similar to Yawn after the attack hits."
"Wow..." Eve says, "So devilish."
"And Max Darkness lowers the Special Defense." Ash says. "It learns a signature move Spirit Break, a Fairy move that lowers the Special attack after battle."
"Wow." Minami says. "So this Pokemon gave you a lot of troubles when catching?"
"Tell me about it." Lillie groans.
This is the third chapter of the Galar Pokemon. And there are still 40% to go. I hope you like it.
