Chapter no.180 Against a Goliath part 3

The flaming vortex and tidal wave met in the middle before wet steam covered in the entire beach is a veil of grey and white.
Austin and Cynthia silently waited before the sound crashing on the ground alerted the two.
( ~Thud~ )
The wet steam veil began to disappear revealing a somewhat injured Garchomp standing over a knocked out Wortortle.
Austin smiled as he returned Wortortle.
" Pika ,Pi !"
Hearing Pikachu's aggressive growls , Austin couldn't help but sigh.
' Of course , he would be frustrated with everyone giving it there all yet still being defeated.'
Placing his hand on Pikachu's head , Austin whispered," I know buddy , I know but we must be patient if we want to win."
Pikachu's ears dropped ," Pikachu, Pi !"
Rubbing Pikachu's head , Austin took out a PokeBall before throwing it out.
In a flash , a seemingly innocous Nincada appeared doing samursoult mid air before landing.
Cynthia and Austin smiled at Nincada's antics.
" Flash Clone !"
Nincada's wings buzzed as hundreds of Nincada's appeared on the beach charging at Garchomp with aerial ace.
Cynthia narrowed her eyes as she looked at all the Nincada who were twisting around Garchomp, not attacking , none of them had a shadow consequently Cynthia looked around trying to spot Nincada before she saw the vines of Leech seed glow with bright emerald light causing Garchomp's health to decrease even more but the orbs of emerald light turned towards Garchomp's body consequently Cynthia figured that Nincada must have used aerial ace to hide upon Garchomp's body.
" Garchomp use flamethrower with twisting like a top."
Hearing the commands of her trainer, Garchomp obliged by twisting like a top while releasing a volley of flames that covered her body burning away the leech seeds.
Suddenly a Nincada jumped off Garchomp's body.
" Poison Jab at 70° " Cynthia calmly exclaimed as Garchomp's claw shot out of the flaming twister directly hitting Nincada's abdomen but suddenly Garchomp's claw went through Nincada's body that seemed to evaporate into smoke.
'Substitute !'
Cynthia's eyes widened for a second before she calmly glanced at the sky.
' Nincada can't learn to fly then ...'
As soon as Cynthia's eyes turned towards the ground , she calmly exclaimed ," Earthquake."
' Gotcha '
" Shadow Sword Strike !"
The ground beneath Garchomp's feet broke apart revealing a Nincada charging at Garchomp with an aerial ace and Night slash combo.
Garchomp was left vulnerable while it was executing Earthquake causing Nincada's attack to land.
( ~ Boom ~ )
( ~ Shake~ )
The entire beach shook with Garchomp's Earthquake.
" Double Team !"
Austin tried to keep this momentum going but Cynthia decided to take this match a little more seriously.
" Sandstorm to Rock Tomb "
" Use Bug Buzz !"
Austin's attempt to disrupt Sandstorm failed as Garchomp's Sandstorm covered the beach with rocks beginning to form mid air that flew towards high speeds at Nincada who tried to do his best to dodge but it was too much for the little guy.
( ~ Boom ~ )
Hearing the sounds of rocks crashing into one another , Austin's heart skipped a beat.
Thinking that Nincada had been defeated , Austin pulled out the little guy's PokeBall.
" Pika , Pi !"
Pikachu's shout caused Austin to look up as a bright light broke out of the sandstorm.
Suddenly a flash of red shot out of the sandstorm into one of Austin's empty pokeballs.
' Don't Tell me.'
Taking out his Pokedex , Austin looked at his pokemon registry which showed a pokemon he didn't have previously.
Shedninja.
' Does that mean ?'
Austin pointed the Pokedex forward as Dexter beeped out.
" Ninjask The Ninja Pokémon. NINJASK moves around at such a high speed that it cannot be seen, even while its crying can be clearly heard. For that reason, this POKéMON was long believed to be invisible.This Ninjask is Male and the Ability is Speed Boost. Currently this Ninjask knows Aerial Ace, Baton Pass,Double Team , Dig, Fury Cutter,Harden ,
Metal Claw, Mud Slap ,Scratch, Screech, Agility, Absorb , Bug bite,Double Team , Nightslash , Giga Drain , Substitute , Defog and Protect. The Age of this Ninjask Four Months."
Austin grinned as he saw something shot out of the sandstorm while Garchomp followed it with Dragon Claw.
But the speed of Ninjask was greater than Garchomp as it effortlessly dodged Garchomp's slashes.
" Ninjask , use Flash Clone !"
Ninjask's body blurred for a second as thousands of copies appeared all around Garchomp completely catching Austin and Cynthia offguard with the amount of flash clones.
" Roar ."
Garchomp let a terrifying bellow that caused one of thousands of Ninjask's turned into a streak of red returning to its PokeBall while replacing itself with a pokemon whose body is light brown, but the abdomen is gray. It has four protrusions on its underside instead of legs; the top pair is brown, while the lower is gray. There are round protrusions on the side of its head with narrow slits for eyes. Two lines encircle its abdomen and a white halo floats above its head. On its back is a pair of tattered wings divided into three wingtips. A hole between its wings reveals that its body is completely hollow and dark, as it possesses no internal organs.
Shedninja silently floats on the beach.
Cynthia frowned as she saw Shedninja which was a pokemon she had faced during her journey but those shedninja's at least hovered back and forth in a particular spot but Austin's shedninja just floated there , ominously.
Austin meanwhile pointed his Pokedex at his new pokemon.
" Shedninja , The Shed Pokémon.SHEDINJA is a peculiar POKéMON. It seems to appear unsought in a POKé BALL after a NINCADA evolves. This bizarre POKéMON is entirely immobile - it doesn't even breathe.This Shedninja is genderless and has the ability Wonder Guard. Currently this Shedninja knows Dig , False swipe, Grudge , Harden,Metal Claw , Mud Slap ,Sand attack ,
Scratch, Shadow Claw , Confuse Ray , Absorb, Shadow Sneak ,Furry Swipes , Nightslash,Giga Drain, Dig,Aerial Ace and Will-o'-wisp. This Shedninja is 1 minute old."
Austin sweat dropped as he heard Shedninja's age.
" Umm , Shedninja ." Austin curiously called out but Shedninja just blankly stared forward.
" Buddy , can you hear me ?"
Shedninja still stared forward.
Austin looked at Shedninja curiously as it was one of the pokemon that greatly intrigued him since he was a child.
Was Shedninja really the shell of Nincada ?
How does a shell become alive ?
Was it even alive ?
" Pika , Pi ."Pikachu snapped Austin out of his thoughts as he said ," Attack with Will-o'-wisp!"
For a few seconds , Shedninja didn't move before it released a bone chilling scream that scared everyone on the beach.
