Chapter 691 Ski Resort Offense and Defense: From a Glamorous Competition to a Hardcore Showdown!
"Game start!"
The referee, who was also an apprentice, waved the flag.
Serena struck first: "Fire Fox, Magic Flame!"
With a wave of her magic wand, the fiery red fox unleashed a dazzling spiral of pink flames!
But Serena's instructions weren't finished: "Then, illusion ray!"
Combo attack activated!
The magical flames suddenly spread through the air, forming a curtain of fire!
Then the illusory light was injected, refracting into a rainbow of colors on the curtain of flames!
In an instant, the entire venue seemed to be filled with fiery aurora, creating a powerful visual impact!
In the audience, Yulijia cupped her face in her hands and exclaimed, "So beautiful!"
Hikaru also exclaimed, "It's a really good combination technique. If this skill were used in a fashion contest, it would definitely get a high score for visual effects."
In the arena, Defu was also nodding:
"Very beautiful moves! Little girl, you'd be perfect for an exhibition match."
But the next second, his eyes sharpened:
"But fighting is not a circus performance!"
"Ice Baby, spin at high speed!"
Ice Baby immediately curled into a ball, and the ice shell on the surface of its body formed sharp ice shards, transforming its entire body into a high-speed rotating rhomboid ice diamond!
As it rotates, it continuously absorbs ice fragments from the ice surface, increasing in both size and power!
Whoops! !
The ice drill crashed straight into the curtain of flames!
Although the Flaming Aurora melted some of the ice shards, Ice Treasure was too fast and its momentum was too strong, so it forcefully passed through the flames!
"Now, Frozen Wind!"
Defu's instructions were concise.
When Bingbao rolled to within three meters of the Demon Fire Red Fox, it suddenly spread its body, using the momentum of its rotation to glide forward, while taking a deep breath.
puff--!
A burst of icy breath, solid as a white ribbon, erupted forth! The distance was too close; the fiery red fox simply didn't have time to act effectively!
"Wu!"
The Fiery Red Fox was grazed on the left shoulder by the icy breath, and a layer of frost instantly formed, causing it to freeze.
Serena's expression changed slightly: "Create distance! Use psychic powers!"
Despite the pain, the fiery red fox raised its magic wand, unleashing a surge of superpowers towards Ice Treasure!
But Defu's orders were even faster:
"Unleash the freezing wind while spinning!"
Bingbao curled up again, spinning rapidly on the ice like a top!
As it rotates, it continuously sprays out fine ice mist, forming a ring of ice mist barrier!
The mental focus was disrupted by the ice mist, making it impossible to select!
De Fu laughed loudly, "The ice is our home ground! Ice Treasure, charge forward!"
Ice Treasure stopped spinning, its entire body enveloped in white light, and it crashed into the Demon Fire Red Fox like a cannonball!
Serena bit her lip: "We can't take this head-on... Demon Flame Red Fox, use your telekinesis to control yourself and retreat!"
A flash of blue light appeared in the eyes of the fiery red fox as it used its mental power to pull itself backward, narrowly avoiding the self-sacrificing collision.
But as soon as Bingbao landed, he turned around, covered in white light, and charged again.
Serena knew she could no longer remain passively defensive.
"Fire Fox, charge forward! Unleash the Great Flame Burst!"
The fiery red fox steadied itself, slammed its wand heavily to the ground, and gathered all its energy at the tip of the wand.
boom--!
A massive, T-shaped flame roared out!
Wherever it passed, the ice melted and evaporated, and steam filled the air!
This attack was clearly more powerful than the magical flames from before!
"Little girl, that's how it should be!"
A hint of appreciation flashed in Defu's eyes, but the command remained decisive: "Ice Treasure, use Avalanche!"
Avalanche: Its power is doubled when your side is attacked!
Defu was willing to trade injuries for injuries; he had no intention of dodging at all.
Above the fiery red fox, dark clouds gathered, and a large amount of snow crashed down!
Meanwhile, the Great Flame Burst had already reached Ice Treasure.
Rumble——! ! !
An explosion of flames and ice! It instantly filled the entire area, obscuring the view.
A few seconds later, the energy dissipated.
The fiery red fox knelt on one knee, its wand supporting it, panting heavily. The frost on its shoulder had spread to half of its body.
Ice Baby, covered in black burn marks, lay on the ice, its eyes turning into circles.
After observing the situation, the referee raised his flag: "Ice Baby is incapacitated!"
"Phew..." Serena breathed a sigh of relief, but then tensed up again.
Although they won, the Fiery Red Fox was severely injured and unable to sustain further battles.
What a bad start!
"Well done, little guy."
Defu retrieved the Ice Treasure, patted the Poké Ball, then looked at Serena and laughed heartily:
"Nice flames, but on my home turf, they'll be suppressed by ice and snow. How will you deal with the next one?"
"Go, Ice Rock Monster!"
Boom boom!
Ice Rock Monster has arrived!
The giant Pokémon, resembling a moving mountain, has an incredibly heavy body made of blue ice rock, with four thick legs standing firmly on the ice.
It is also the nightmare of the Eiseki Dojo in the original work.
Serena thought for a moment, then threw out a second Poké Ball:
"Please, Steel Cannon Arm Shrimp!"
The right pincer is huge, like a cannon turret, while the left pincer is slightly smaller but equally powerful.
It evolved from the Iron-Armed Pistol Shrimp that Serena fished in the Ancient Town.
Water-type has an advantage over Ice-type, which is Serena's tactical choice.
"Game start!"
At the referee's whistle, Serena launched an attack:
"Steel Cannon Arm Shrimp, Water Wave!"
The Steel Cannon Shrimp raises its right claw, activating its special Super Launcher!
A rapidly spinning water ball condensed at the muzzle and shot towards the Ice Rock Monster with a bang!
De Fu remained calm and composed: "Ice Rock Monster, Iron Wall."
The surface of the ice rock monster's body instantly shimmered with a metallic sheen!
boom!
The waves of water struck it, causing it to explode and splash everywhere.
But the ice rock monster didn't move an inch, not even taking a single step back!
Serena frowned: "Such strong defense... Then let's attack continuously! Water Pulse!"
"Arm shrimp!"
The steel-armed shrimp launched multiple water balls in succession.
Bang bang bang!
But the Ice Rock Monster stood there, like a real iceberg. The dense attacks fell on the Ice Rock Monster, but still couldn't shake it in the slightest.
What's more troublesome is that Serena noticed that the wounds on the Ice Golem's body were slowly healing amidst the falling snow in the gym.
Citron analyzed from the sidelines: "It's the Frozen Body trait; in the snow, it will continuously regenerate stamina!"
Xiao Zhi scratched his head: "But it's not snowing right now."
Xiaoyun crossed her arms and explained, "You can't say for sure. This characteristic is also effective in extremely cold environments. The low temperature in the gym was specially created by the gym leader to bring out the advantage of Ice Rock Monster."
Xiao Guang nodded in agreement: "So Serena has to change her tactics. If she keeps going like this, she'll eventually be worn down by the Ice Rock Monster!"
Serena also realized the problem.
"In that case, Steel Cannon Shrimp, use your crab claw hammer after the water jet! Move closer!"
"Arm shrimp!"
Water surged around the Steel Cannon Shrimp's body, propelling it rapidly to the back of the Ice Rock Monster.
At the same time, the huge right pincers lit up with white light and slammed down hard on the back of the ice rock monster!
"Close combat? This young lady is truly courageous."
Defu was delighted. If the opponent had been constantly rotating and using ranged attacks, it would have been difficult for him to fight. But you chose to engage in melee combat!
Wouldn't that be like turning on the toilet light and causing trouble?
"Ice Rock Monster, Ice Whirlwind!"
"Rock roar!"
The Ice Rock Monster roared and swung its massive body with an agility that belied its size!
The chilling aura formed countless icy blades that spun around the body like a meat grinder before crashing head-on into the crab claw hammer!
Clang——! !
The sharp blade clashed with the giant pincers, producing a deafening metallic clang!
The Steel Cannon Shrimp is actually quite strong; its enormous pincers reveal its potential for physical attacks.
But the Ice Rock Monster's weight and defense were terrifying! The force of the ice vortex and the cutting power of the rotation directly bent the crab claws into an arc!
"Arm shrimp!"
The Steel Cannon Shrimp tried to pull its claws back in pain, but the Ice Rock Monster suddenly turned its head and bit the claws!
"Just like that, throw it out!"
Defu waved his hand.
The Ice Rock Monster suddenly swung its head! The Steel Cannon Shrimp was swung up and slammed onto the ice in the distance with a bang, sliding more than ten meters before coming to a stop.
"Steel Cannon Arm Shrimp!" Serena cried out in distress.
"Arm shrimp...."
The steel-armed shrimp struggled to its feet, its right claw joint already covered with a layer of ice, making its movements noticeably sluggish.
Defu pressed his advantage and pursued the attack.
"Ice Rock Monster, Ice Pillar Slam!"
The Ice Rock Monster tilted its head back, and several huge ice spikes condensed at the top of the arena, and then—it fell!
"Boom boom boom——!!"
The ice spikes crashed down, blocking all of the Steel Cannon Shrimp's evasive routes!
Serena bit her lip and shouted, "Quickly, use Dragon Pulse! Shatter those ice spikes above our heads!"
The steel-armed shrimp barely managed to lift its pincers, and a purple dragon-shaped pulse burst from the muzzle, sweeping upwards!
Boom boom boom!
The ice picks were smashed one by one.
"Ice Rock Monster, now's your chance, use Frozen Fang!" Defu's command followed immediately.
The Ice Rock Monster's massive body began to move, its huge mouth opening wide, releasing a chilling aura.
"Use Dragon Pulse on the Ice Rock Monster again!" Serena shouted.
The steel-armed shrimp claws rose again, and a purple flying dragon erupted from the cannon muzzle once more! It charged straight at the Ice Rock Monster's face!
But the Ice Rock Monster neither dodged nor evaded, but met the attack head-on! It took the blow with its head!
boom--!
The Ice Rock Monster was propelled backward by the Dragon Pulse, carving two deep furrows in the ice.
"effective."
Serena's face lit up with joy, but she quickly wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "It's over."
"Ice Rock Monster, avalanche."
"Yanhou...!"
The Ice Rock Monster roared, and countless snowflakes condensed on the top of the arena, covering a vast area!
The Ice Rock Monster deliberately took the attack just now in order to trigger the avalanche's doubling effect!
Now, it's its turn to fight back!
Boom boom boom!
Countless snowflakes crashed down like a waterfall, leaving the steel-armed shrimp nowhere to escape!
After a while, the avalanche dissipated, and the Steel Cannon Shrimp lay in the broken ice, its eyes darting around.
"Arm shrimp..."
The referee raises his flag: "The Steel Cannon Shrimp is incapacitated!"
"This Ice Rock Monster is so fierce..." Ash exclaimed in astonishment.
Xiaoyun thought to herself.
It's fierce, isn't it? Even your Greninja was beaten back to its original form by this guy.
"That big guy is really tough to deal with..."
Serena bit her lower lip, but she didn't back down and continued throwing Poké Balls:
"Panda Overbearing, please!"
A domineering black and white panda makes its appearance, clapping its fists together, its fighting spirit high:
"howl!"
Defu looked at the domineering panda, then at the determined-looking Serina, and nodded:
"Not bad, she's not discouraged by defeat, the young lady has backbone."
"Ice Rock Monster, Ice Pillar Slam!"
The familiar attack method: the ice cones once again froze and fell from the top.
"Overbearing Panda, Bullet Fist Attack!" Serena quickly gave the order.
The domineering panda's right fist gleamed with a metallic sheen, and just as the ice spike was about to fall, his figure transformed into a blur as he swiftly charged forward.
A punch landed squarely on the Ice Rock Monster's leg! The speed was so fast that the Ice Rock Monster didn't even have time to react.
"Then came the powerful push!"
Serena continued to give orders.
De Fu crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Carry it down, with the Iron Wall."
The Ice Rock Monster's body regained its metallic sheen, further enhancing its defense.
Bang bang bang!
The domineering panda kept pushing, but the ice rock monster's iron wall had already made its defense extremely high.
Meanwhile, the frozen body continues to recover.
The seemingly domineering panda is fighting fiercely, but in reality, it is the panda that is at a disadvantage.
The attacks failed to inflict decisive damage, while stamina was constantly being depleted.
De Fu smiled and ordered, "Ice Rock Monster, Ice Pillar Slam, point-blank range!"
The Ice Rock Monster completely ignored the Tyrant Panda's attack and directly condensed several ice spikes on its back, stabbing them head-on at the Tyrant Panda!
"what?"
Serena's expression changed drastically; she hadn't expected Defu to use this tactic at all.
"howl!"
The domineering panda immediately switched from offense to defense, crossing its arms to block, but was still forced to retreat repeatedly by the ice spikes.
Serena took a deep breath: "It's not over yet! You domineering panda, using provocation!"
This is the tactic she just came up with: to limit the Ice Rock Monster's transformation skills!
If it can't strengthen its defenses with Iron Wall, then it might have a chance!
"howl!"
The domineering panda created some distance, made an extremely irritating face at the ice rock monster, gave it a thumbs up, and then turned it upside down.
You're no good, you're incredibly weak.
Provocation successful!
The Ice Rock Monster is enraged, its eyes turn red, and it is temporarily unable to use status moves!
Defu raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You've learned your lesson! But you can't win just by provoking others."
"Ice Rock Monster, attack directly! Ice Pillar Slam!"
The Ice Rock Monster condensed ice pillars once more.
Serena launched a preemptive strike: "Now! Overlord Panda, Bullet Punch!"
The domineering panda transformed into a black and white blur, raining down rapid punches on the ice rock monster!
Mudamudamudamuda!
Under the continuous attacks, the Ice Rock Monster was caught off guard and retreated repeatedly.
Without the defensive bonus from Iron Wall, the damage output has increased significantly.
De Fu said in a deep voice, "Ice Rock Monster, hold on! Find an opportunity to use Ice Fang!"
After being hit by another bullet punch, the Ice Rock Monster finally seized an opening, opened its huge mouth, and let the cold air rush straight towards the Tyrant Panda!
Serena knew this was an opportunity:
"Overlord Panda, Arm Hammer!! Full Power!!"
"howl!"
With a roar, the domineering panda advanced instead of retreating, its right arm muscles bulging as it condensed its Fighting-type energy to its limit, slamming it down hard on the Ice Rock Monster's chin!
boom--! !
The shockwaves from the collision created a ring of snow mist!
The domineering panda's arm hammer struck squarely! The Ice Rock Monster's head snapped back, sending ice shards flying!
But at the same time, the Ice Rock Monster's frozen teeth also bit into the Domineering Panda's shoulder!
“Crack…”
A frozen sound.
The domineering panda's entire shoulder was instantly frozen, and the chill spread throughout his body.
"The Overbearing Panda!!"
Serena said with concern.
Defu pressed his advantage: "Ice Rock Monster, use Frozen Fang again!"
"Rock roar!"
The Ice Rock Monster recovered and roared as it charged at the Tyrant Panda once more.
"howl......"
The domineering panda gritted its teeth, a fierce glint flashing in its eyes. Instead of defending itself, it concentrated all its power into its right arm.
Trading injury for injury, a final desperate gamble!
boom--! ! !
Click——! !
Two loud explosions rang out almost simultaneously.
The domineering panda was bitten on the shoulder again, and the ice layer thickened.
But before it was completely frozen, it used its last strength to swing its arm hammer one last time, smashing it into the crack on the Ice Rock Monster's head!
boom--!
The ice rock monster was smashed to the ground, its eyes turning into circles.
The domineering panda couldn't withstand the strain and collapsed to the ground.
