Squishy vs. Hard: The Ultimate Debate
While out on their squishy adventure, the group has a blast partaking in some Alolan “Pyukumuku tossing,” reveling in the bouncy texture of the Sea Cucumber Pokémon. However, the fun is interrupted when they run into Roy, Ult, and a brand-new, equally eccentric trainer named Laramou.In stark contrast to Old Man Yakata, Laramou is a proud “Hardman.” She is absolutely obsessed with “Harpokés” (hard Pokémon) and admires the rock-solid, tough exteriors of Pokémon like Steelix, Ferroseed, and Naclstack! The tension peaks when they stumble across a Scolipede. A hilarious rivalry ignites as Old Man Yakata insists Scolipede’s belly is exquisitely squishy, while Laramou fiercely argues that it is rock-hard.The “Hartle” (Hard Battle) Begins!
With neither willing to back down, there’s only one way to settle this: a “hartle” (a Hard Pokémon Battle)! The battle is as funny as it sounds. Old Man Yakata sends out his softest, squishiest team consisting of Pyukumuku, Snom, and Pincurchin. His strategy? Simply spamming “Helping Hand” to create a soft bounce that repels attacks!On the other side, Laramou commands her tough-as-nails team to use heavy-hitting moves like Heavy Slam, Iron Head, and Body Press, eventually resorting to the ultimate hard technique: “Harden”! After a highly entertaining clash of squish versus steel, they realize the wild Scolipede has wandered off. Finding common ground in their bizarre passions, the two rivals agree to take their next day off together so they can find the Scolipede and do a “touch test” to finally learn the truth!Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
