Crabominable, covered in cold-resistant white fur, is likely based on a yeti from the snowy mountains.
Its type is Fighting and Ice, and this Pokemon generally appears on rarely visited snowy mountains, such as Shuangmo Mountain in the Paldea region, where traces of their lives can be found.
And Crabominable's pair of pincer-like claws naturally fall off under certain unknown conditions; these claws are several times more delicious than those lost in battle.
At that time, Luo Mu and Luxray had found a pair of claws by following Oinkologne.
Although they recalled the joy of unexpected wealth at that time, Luo Mu and Luxray did not rashly move to compete with Oinkologne for this pair of claws.
It wasn't that they wanted to be gentlemen and disdain to be the fisherman; rather, there was usually a creature lurking next to the Crabominable claws mysteriously left on the ground.
Luo Mu and Luxray quietly crouched in the bushes, acting as hidden observers. Oinkologne, having discovered the claws, first sniffed them with its peach-pink nose, and a visible expression of ecstasy appeared on its dark face.
Oinkologne looked left and right, confirming that no one else was eyeing the claws. Its eyes lit up slightly. It first leisurely licked its fur and the dirt on its peach-pink hooves.
Oinkologne was preparing to eat the first claw in the most elegant and handsome manner, and then take the second one to pursue a female.
At this moment, from the human-height bushes next to the claws, a pair of huge claws, similar in features to the ones on the ground but noticeably newer, silently extended from the grass. Oinkologne, still immersed in the joyful anticipation of deliciousness, continued to clean its body, completely unaware.
Luo Mu and Luxray still made no move.
This was a fight between wild Pokemon, and he usually observed silently from the sidelines.
Occasionally, when he felt a whim, he might intervene.
Crabominable's fists got closer and closer to Oinkologne. Whether it couldn't hold back or felt it was a sure thing, ice covered its fists within a few breaths. It seemed Crabominable intended to seal the victory with an Ice Punch.
However, it was the frosty chill from the ice that made Oinkologne react just before being hit.
Oinkologne let out a terrified Growl and tried its best to duck down. Crabominable's powerful but slow punch thus grazed Oinkologne's scalp at the last moment.
The cold caused a patch of frost to form on Oinkologne's head. Oinkologne shrieked and bolted without hesitation.
Its strong limbs provided ample power and speed, and in just a blink of an eye, Oinkologne had vanished.
Crabominable slowly glanced at its missed punch and could only reluctantly retreat into the bushes to wait for the next prey.
"That's about enough."
Luo Mu's voice was very low, but as he and Luxray stood up from the bushes, he made no attempt to conceal his intentions, and this movement was naturally noticed by Crabominable.
Crabominable felt that its luck was very good today; two more prey had fallen into its trap so quickly.
As usual, Crabominable crouched in the bushes, quietly waiting for Luo Mu and Luxray to approach.
Suddenly, numerous dazzling light spots appeared beneath Crabominable. These light spots came from underground, and within a few breaths, the light spots had become dense enough to form a pillar of brilliant light.
From a distance, a pillar of brilliant light shot up into the sky from the mountainside, very eye-catching.
"So sudden!?"
Luo Mu and Luxray paused their steps, exchanged glances, and made no move.
The burst of light only lasted for a short dozen seconds before gradually dissipating. Crabominable, now in its Terastallization form, leaned against a sparkling terastal crystal. Its fists swung with powerful force, and it felt its body filled with immense power.
On Crabominable's tera crown, Terastal energy formed a giant fist, indicating a Fighting-type Terastallization!
At this moment, Crabominable felt its power was unprecedentedly strong, and it had nothing to fear!
"Meow!"
Luxray let out a cry towards Luo Mu's suddenly glowing pocket.
Luo Mu looked at his pocket, reached in, and pulled out the tera orb glowing with a mysterious aura, murmuring, "It's charged."
Blinking, Luo Mu offered a moment of silent sympathy for Crabominable, then said without hesitation, "Terastallize, Luxray!"
As he spoke, Luxray stepped forward to stand opposite Crabominable. The tera orb thrown by Luo Mu also bloomed above its head, showering it with Terastal energy.
Crystalline structures enveloped Luxray, then scattered as crystal shards. After a crisp shattering sound, Luxray, whose body now shone like a cut gem, let out a Snarl at the crescent moon hanging in the sky. The immense pressure shook the birds perched in the trees on the mountain, causing them to fly away.
On the magnificent and imposing tera crown worn by Luxray, a giant light bulb hung.
tera type: Electric!
Crabominable sensed something was wrong when Luxray roared towards the sky. Its hot-blooded mind was instantly doused with cold water. It wanted to escape but was restrained by the crystal behind it, which continuously emitted Terastal energy, preventing it from leaving the area overflowing with Terastal energy.
Crabominable's eyes, wide and dazed with fear, raised its fists, seemingly wanting to surrender.
Luo Mu was amused by it. Although he really wanted to quip, "At this moment, are you perhaps joking?" to play on a meme, in the end, he said nothing, only giving the command: "Thunderbolt!"
Golden lightning danced like a wild snake. The Thunderbolt, enhanced by Terastal energy, tore through the air, engulfing Crabominable and the terastal crystal behind it.
In an instant, a dazzling golden light illuminated half the sky.
"These claws, we'll graciously accept."
Luo Mu suppressed the urge to drool, embracing the pair of large Crabominable claws as if he had found a treasure.
Luxray, seeing his unrefined appearance, could only shake its head helplessly, yet it overlooked the glistening liquid seeping from the corner of its own mouth.
The injuries and paralysis on Crabominable, which had exited its Terastallization state, had already been dealt with by Luo Mu.
It lay quietly in the nearby bushes, enjoying a baby-like sleep.
The terastal crystal, just as it appeared quickly, also vanished quickly.
Originally, after a terastal crystal randomly formed in the Paldea region, it would usually last for a whole day before dissipating.
However, Crabominable's Terastallization, Luxray's Terastallization, and the re-charged tera orb in Luo Mu's hand had already depleted the Terastal energy within the crystal.
Without Terastal energy, the crystal naturally disappeared.
"Meow."
Luxray picked up two terastal shards that had fallen to the ground and handed them to Luo Mu.
"Thank you." Luo Mu took the terastal shards that Luxray had picked up and, upon closer inspection, it was indeed Fighting-type terastal shards.
Just looking at this thing made his liver ache slightly, reminding him of his experience of endlessly grinding six-star tera raids when violet was first released, just to change tera types.
