Just then, a massive crystal tail, carrying immense force, swept towards them.
To protect Natsui, Blastoise used all its strength, trying to block the Crystal Onix's Iron Tail. But as the tail struck its body, the tremendous power still forced it back several steps, and it finally lost its footing, falling backward onto the ground!
Hm?
Natsui's eyes lit up.
Not bad. To be able to knock back the sturdy Blastoise head-on, it seems that besides its crystal body, its strength is also quite impressive!
"You're up next, Venusaur! Use Vine Whip!"
At Natsui's command, two vines shot out from the center of Venusaur's blooming flower, whipping fiercely at the Crystal Onix. With two sharp 'cracks,' the Crystal Onix finally reacted, recoiling in pain.
Seeing this, Sabrina said with understanding, "It seems you were right. Its typing is indeed Rock and Ground, which is why Grass-type moves deal so much damage to it."
Natsui nodded, then, as if suddenly remembering something, he took out his Pokédex from his pocket and aimed it at the Crystal Onix.
Pokédex: "Beep. Identifying Pokémon... Identification complete. This Pokémon is a suspected Onix. Specific details are unknown. No related data found in the database. Upload Pokémon data?"
As expected, even the Pokédex can't identify the information of this Crystal Onix!
Shaking his head slightly, Natsui's finger pressed 'Confirm' on the 'No' option.
Pokédex: "Beep. Upload canceled."
Putting the Pokédex away, now that he had observed enough, Natsui no longer held back and decided to end this capture battle quickly.
"Venusaur, use Razor Leaf! The rest of you, guard the cave entrance, don't let it escape! Blastoise, you get in the lake and block its potential escape route!"
Under Natsui's coordination, his Pokémon sprang into action. In the direct confrontation, Venusaur's Razor Leaf accurately struck the Crystal Onix.
Its huge body made the already precise move even easier to hit.
Hundreds of green, blade-like leaves enveloped the Crystal Onix, causing it to roar continuously in pain. As the pain mounted, the Crystal Onix began to think of escaping. But just as it dove into the water, it was knocked back by the waiting Blastoise's Skull Bash!
Instantly, water splashed high into the air, hitting the shore and breaking into even smaller droplets.
"Trying to run now?" Natsui said calmly. "It's too late! Venusaur, continue with Razor Leaf!"
Razor Leaf struck the Crystal Onix again. This time, while enduring the pain, the Crystal Onix also counterattacked with Stone Edge. But in the instant that Venusaur dodged, the Onix charged headfirst into the cave wall, trying to dig its way out!
However, before it could even hit the wall, it was stopped in its tracks by a Psychic from Gardevoir!
After taking so many attacks, the Crystal Onix was now teetering, looking as if it could collapse at any moment.
Seeing its condition, Natsui decisively took out a Poké Ball and threw it!
A red beam of light flashed, pulling the Crystal Onix into the Poké Ball. After shaking violently for a moment, under Natsui's watchful gaze, it finally fell silent with a 'click'!
"Nicely done," Sabrina said, applauding lightly. "Congratulations on catching a rare Pokémon."
Unable to hide his pride, Natsui raised an eyebrow at her, then happily walked forward, picked up the Poké Ball, and placed it in his waist pouch.
With the successful capture of the Crystal Onix, he now, without realizing it, had 12 Pokémon.
With that, the Poké Balls carried in the two pouches on his waist were now all full. If he were to catch another, his 13th Pokémon would be transported back to a research lab.
Originally, his Pokédex was a gift from Diantha, which she had obtained from Professor Sycamore in Kalos. Logically, any extra Pokémon he caught should have been sent to Professor Sycamore.
However, Natsui had never met him and didn't dare to impose by asking him to take care of his Pokémon. Therefore, back when he was at the Sakuragi Institute, Natsui had already changed the transfer destination to there.
His relationship with the Sakuragi family, as well as with Renji and Kikuna, had become very close, so when he changed the settings and asked them to look after his Pokémon, they had all agreed sincerely.
Moreover, Koharu had also beaten her chest and assured him that if any Pokémon were transferred back, there would be no need to bother anyone else; she herself would take meticulous care of them.
If this had been the past, Koharu would never have said such a thing, nor would she have been so attentive to Pokémon.
But just as Natsui had changed Sabrina's personality, Koharu had also unknowingly changed a lot under his influence!
Plus, since it was Natsui's Pokémon she would be caring for, she had no objections whatsoever.
And because of this, just as Ash had Professor Oak as his backup, with Koharu helping to take care of his Pokémon, Natsui was also free from any worries and could continue his journey with peace of mind, catching the Pokémon he loved!
Bringing his thoughts back to the present, now that his goal had been achieved, Natsui and Sabrina prepared to leave.
But before they left, as usual, he took out his phone and took a few pictures of the surroundings as a memento.
He even boldly leaned next to Sabrina and took a selfie with her!
'Click!'
Reflected in the crystals, a man and a woman were leaning shoulder to shoulder. In the screen, the man was smiling happily, showing a row of white teeth, while the woman, under her smooth, shoulder-length black hair, also had a faint smile on her face.
Even though Natsui himself was very satisfied with the photo, he understood that when it came to pictures, women were often extremely picky about their appearance and pose.
Therefore, after taking the photo, he didn't save it immediately but first held the phone in front of Sabrina to ask for her opinion.
"Well? Does it look good?"
Sabrina glanced at it calmly.
In the photo, against the beautiful scenery, the two of them not only looked very well-matched, but their heads were even leaning slightly towards each other!
What this subtle body language represented, even if she had never experienced romance before, she now understood its meaning!
"It's not bad. It would make a good wallpaper. Send me a copy later."
Sabrina feigned a casual tone, but it seemed even she didn't notice how bright her eyes were at that moment, or how light and cheerful her voice was!
