He knows Pokémon better than me.

The next day, on the open snow slope behind the arena.

Ash and an orange-haired girl wearing a cotton coat and a woolen hat have already marked out the area and are ready.

Boo hoo hoo-!
A Rotom drone landed in the sky and emitted a warning sound:
"This is the World Championship, the ranking match at the Super Ball level! The two teams facing off are Ash, ranked 470th, and Misha, ranked 420th!"

"Each side may use two Pokémon. The battle begins now, Roto!"

This is the first opponent Xiaozhi was matched with; their rankings are similar.

boom!boom!
So both sides threw out their Poké Balls, and Ash chose Dragapult, intending to give this pseudo-legendary Pokémon a good workout.

On the other side, they sent out a beautiful Ice Eevee.

"Messi!"

A blast of cold air hit him, and Xiao Duolong shivered instantly.

"Do you still dare to use Baby when you reach the mid-level of the Super Ball? Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Seeing this, the orange-haired girl Misha was overjoyed. Today she could easily rack up points!
"Let's settle this once and for all! Ice Eevee, use Ice Beam!"

As the battle began, Glaceon showed no mercy, its mouth gathering icy light as it prepared to unleash a chilling attack.

"Use a surprise attack!!"

Upon hearing Ash's enthusiastic command, Little Dragon immediately perked up as well.

With its body taut and radiating black light, it suddenly burst forth, taking the lead and crashing into Eevee's forehead, forcefully interrupting the latter's Ice Beam attack.

"And then, the strange light!"

Dorgonmesia condensed a black ball of light in his small hand and threw it out.

Despite being just a first-stage baby, Dragapult's base Speed ​​stat already surpasses that of many Pokémon, such as Glaceon.

"Bingyi, Bingyi"

Struck by the strange light, Glaceon fell into confusion and its movements began to become inverted.

Sizzle!
The icy light that shot out even shot backward, nearly hitting its own trainer.

Trainers capable of hitting the Ultra Ball are no novicees, and they quickly devised countermeasures:

"In that case, use the freezing wind!!"

Since things are chaotic, just unleash an area-of-effect (AOE) attack that covers the entire field.

Glaceon understood and randomly spat out icy mist in one direction, and the freezing wind quickly spread throughout the entire area.

"Messi!"

The chill made Doronmesia shiver and let out a low moan of discomfort.

Although the effect is outstanding, the damage is not very high.

"Then let's increase the power! Glaceon, use Blizzard!!"

Glaceon took a deep breath, and this time the icy power gathered at its mouth was several times that of when it released the Frozen Wind.

Little Dragon's expression immediately turned serious, and his tail unconsciously twitched uneasily.

"Doromecia, use Rapid Turnback!"

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon cleverly raised his head. Time to run away!

Doromecia transformed into a gray-green ball of light and suddenly shot out, striking Eevee's forehead a step ahead of time, before bouncing back.

Swoosh—!
The next second, Dragapult automatically returned to Ash's Poké Ball.

A second too late, Glaceon unleashed a blizzard that covered the entire field, but the move missed, and the cold ice and snow mercilessly slapped Ash's face.

boom!
Ash's other Poké Ball is activated, and this time, a fossil Pokémon from Galar appears.

As a noble Water/Dragon type, it only takes one damage from Ice attacks, so it's not a big problem.

"Damn it, it got away!"

Misha gritted her teeth, but this successfully forced out the opponent's second Pokémon—

I saw it in the news before; it seems to be a fossil Pokémon native to Galar.

“Glaceon!” On the other side, Glaceon shook its head, waking up from its confused state.

"In that case, use the Freeze Beam!"

His head snapped back, unleashing another beam of piercingly cold lightning.

However, the ichthyosaur took the hit head-on with its body and was pushed back several meters on the snow slope, with a lot of ice chips frozen on its "abdomen"—the back of its tail.

"Now! Use the primal power!!"

However, the Gillfish Dragon was prepared in advance, gathering huge rocks around its body and throwing them out simultaneously, so that both attacks hit each other at the same time.

Rumble rumble rumble—!
In an instant, dust billowed up on the other side of the snow slope, and Ice Eevee was buried under rocks.

Outstanding effect!

"Gills~!"

The ichthyosaur shivered and immediately jumped and shook itself in place, trying to shatter the ice shell on its "abdomen".

"Bingyi."

Just as Glaceon struggled to its feet from the pile of rocks, several more rock projectiles were launched at it, this time with far greater power than the Primal Force.

Rock Blast!

Boom bang bang! !

The rock struck its target, shattering into pieces and blasting the Ice Eevee away, sending it crashing heavily onto a nearby snow slope, thus determining the winner.

"Ice Eevee!"

The orange-haired girl had no choice but to recall her Glaceon; she hadn't expected the fossil Pokémon to be so powerful.

boom!
Her second Pokémon was a Froslass, whose appearance and temperament were a perfect match for the surrounding snowy slope environment.

"Ugh, Ichthyosaurus, continue the fight."

After hesitating for a moment, Ash ultimately decided not to switch back to Dragapult.

Meanwhile, a new offensive from the enemy has begun.

"Snow Fairy, use Blizzard!!"

The first thing they did was unleash a blizzard that swept across the entire area. While not particularly powerful, it was exceptionally persistent, turning the entire snow slope into a dark and blizzard-ridden environment.

"Demon~~"

The Snow Fairy drifted into the snowstorm, becoming invisible thanks to her "Snow Concealment" ability.

"Hehe~ My Snow Fairy brings with her icy rocks~"

Misha chuckled smugly, knowing he could easily create a blizzard with an effect similar to "Max Ice" and alter the weather.

Is this even possible?

Though the speaker meant no harm, Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up.

If you equip his Dracovish with "Wet Rock", then his Whirlpool move could force rain to fall!

We'll try it out after the battle is over. Anyway, Mr. Maga has plenty of strange and unusual stones!
As for the present...
The Snow Fairy appears sneaky and elusive.

However, under the detection of the waveguide power, even his underwear had been seen!

"Gills~!!"

The information detected by the waveguide was synchronized with the ichthyosaur, whose eyes immediately lit up.

The Snow Fairy, using "Snow Concealment," had quietly arrived behind the Gillfish Dragon, gathering a Shadow Ball in her hand and maximizing its power, intending to unleash a one-time critical strike.

"Now! Bite with your gills!!"

However, the primitive jaws of the ichthyosaur were already surrounded by water bubbles. Since they were offered up, it was no wonder that the ichthyosaur was not polite.

As if anticipating her move, the ichthyosaur suddenly turned around and snapped its gills shut, biting the snow fairy.

The Strength trait has been triggered!

And it struck before Shadow Orb. The double damage bonus from Gill Bite was triggered! (End of Chapter)
