Part 7
It was already night time. Yuudachi walked along the beach, listening to the sound of the waves to calm her head down. The laughter she was subjected by the two boys during her meal time left her with soured mood. In between their laugh, they boys basically told her that Magikap was considered to be trash Pokémon and totally useless for Pokémon battle.
But rather than challenging the boys just to prove them wrong, Yuudachi refrained herself from making a scene and let them be.
"Koiking can't be that bad isn't it?" she mumbled to herself. However, without other Pokémon to compare Koiking with, she couldn't know whether her Magikarp was as terrible as they had claimed.
'Maybe she should have challenged them after all,' she added in her mind.
Yuudachi blew a huff and quickly shook the thought away. It was no use to cry over a spilt milk, and she would find another chance anyway.
Apparently, the chance appeared not long after that when Yuudachi saw something burrowed out from the sand right in front of her. She took a careful look and quickly recognized the shape of the creature. It was essentially a crab. But standing at approximately a foot tall, it was easily one of the largest she had ever personally seen on land.
Unlike normal crabs however, it possessed only four legs. Its eyes were on the upper shell rather than the eyestalks, there were horns on the upper shell and to top it all, a pair of fangs protruding from its lower shell. The most prominent feature however, was the pair of pincers, and Yuudachi was amazed by their size.
"Those are really big pincers, poi…" she commented, a little too loudly.
Consequently, it was overheard by the Krabby. It paused its stride and sifted it body to face the ship girl and for a few seconds, Yuudachi and the Krabby stared at each other.
"Pokémon?" Yuudachi wondered out loud. "He~ you're big for a crab, but kind of small compared to like Magikarp don't you think?"
The comment immediately drew a reaction from Krabby. It narrowed its eyes and angrily snapped it pincer several times, its mouth began to foam.
Yuudachi blinked.
Don't tell me this thing is offended of getting itself compared to Magikarp, poi.
Before Yuudachi could decide on what to do next, the Krabby skittered towards her, its right pincer wide open. She immediately dodged to the side and then took several quick steps back, putting some distance between her and the Krabby.
Well, if you want to fight so much…
Reaching into the front pocket of her backpack, Yuudachi picked out the only Pokéball on her with an occupant inside. "Go, Koiking!" Yuudachi declared as she threw the Pokéball forward.
In her eagerness to see whether Magikarp truly a bad as its reputation implied, Yuudachi had forgotten one little fact: solid ground was not a conducive environment for a fish to move on.
Krabby switched its target and went after the Magikarp. Before Yuudachi could recall her only Pokémon, the Krabby struck first and clamp on the base of Magikarp's tail in a Vice Grip.
Magikarp yowled when pain shot through it body. Koiking immediately flailed and trashed, but Krabby held on like a seasoned rodeo.
Yuudachi winced.
Ouch, that's gotta hurt.
Nevertheless, Yudachi saw the chance to turn the table back. "Koiking, flail harder and smack it against the ground!"
Koiking complied and swung its tail as hard as it could. The repeated impacts against the wet send eventually wore the Krabby out and it lost its grip while Koiking was still flailing. The Krabby landed some distance away to the side with a soft thud, belly side up.

@Amancai can we please get a scene where Yuudachi bench presses an Onyx? This sounds amazing.
Hm.....
