Ash's Paldea Story

Chapter 48 Quaking Earth Titans

Drandon, Nemona, Lillie, and I are now at the Asado Desert, while we can feel that the desert is slightly shaking, it doesn't seem to affect us a lot. And Arven also gets to call us.

"Hey, Ash, Lillie, and Drandon! Oh, never know the school prez is here as well. Apparently, this desert is home to the Quaking Earth Titan. Speaking of which, the ground's been shaking off and on and... urk... making me feel a bit sick... Sorry, I'm gonna just sit down and rest a little before I get back to Titan hunting..."

"Just take your time." I sigh as we end the call. "But this shaking is really abnormal... I just hope it is not some sort of Tectonic Rage..."

"That was the Ground Type Z Move..." Lillie sighs. "I don't think Z Moves are used here."

Drandon says, "So what do you think of the Ground Type Pokemon?"

"Well, it is not that bad, I mean, I have a couple of them. My Krookodile is very unique since he likes to wear black glasses. And I also have a Palossand, which was capable of swallowing a house with the size."

"That's crazy..." Nemona gasps. "I mean, a Palossand that big?"

"Why don't you talk about your Gliscor?" Lillie asks, "I mean, he likes to crash onto you."

"Definitely not the best experience, and then..." When I look forward, I see two Donphan walking toward us. But something is not right. Nemona asks, "Wait, are those Donphan?"

"Something is not right about them... this one looks like it has two giant tusks and some red scales... and the other one looks so metallic..." Lillie says. "And those sizes... no doubt they are the Quaking Earth Titan!"

"You mean there is not one but two Titans at the same time?" Drandon asks. "Are they working together?"

"One is already hard to beat, but two of them?" I ask.

Just then, both of our Rotom Phones are ringing and Professor Sada and Professor Turo call us at the same time.

"Hello, Ash and Lillie. This is Professor Sada." "And this is Professor Turo."

"What is going on?" I ask.

Sada says, "I see that you have been facing two Pokemon that look like Donphan. However, their names are Great Tusk and Iron Treads."

Turo says, "Both of them came from the Great Crater of Paldea. I ask that you do whatever is needed to subdue them for us - with all due caution, of course."

"So they're called Great Tusk and Iron Treads? And they are both from the Great Crater of Paldea?" Lillie asks.

"But still, we need to deal with them. Donphan! I choose you!" I send out my Ground Type Pokemon, and Lillie also goes for Snowy, Nemona goes for Meowscarada, and Drandon goes for Salamence. We all go with the Terastallize, and Donphan is still Ground, Snowy is Fairy, Meowscarada is Grass, and Salamence is Flying.

"Use Blizzard!" Snowy fires the Ice-type attack, while Great Tusk is damaged heavily, but Iron Treads doesn't seem to take that much damage, and when Iron Treads go for Iron Head, dealing a lot of damage to Snowy.

"I get it, Iron Treads is not only Ground Type, but also Steel Type. That means Donphan's Earthquake can deal more damage to Iron Treads!" I say as I have Donphan go for the attack, hitting Iron Treads.

"Salamence! Hurricane!" Drandon yells, and his Salamence manages to hit Great Tusk, and it also seems to be super effective. It then goes for the Brick Break, hitting Meowscarada.

"And Great Tusk is Ground and Fighting!" Lillie says, "Snowy! Use Dazzling Gleam on Great Tusk!"

Snowy glows and Great Tusk is also taking some damage, Nemona says, "I don't care what they are, but battling those Pokemon seem to be exciting! Meowscarada! Flower Trick!"
