Chapter 319 The challenge continues! Level 3 - Battle of Ice and Snow!

Chapter 319 The challenge continues! Level 3 - Battle of Ice and Snow!

After the feast, the battle naturally continued.

Although the challenge of one level was unexpectedly interrupted.

But even in a rematch, facing their dearest niece, Momoka and her partner, who had lost their fighting spirit and were determined to let her win... were quickly defeated by Shizuka.

Now, the battle on the second level has reached a critical juncture.

……

The tower keepers on the second floor are a serious couple.

The girl's name is Manfeng and the boy's name is Congrui. Although they have less experience among the tower defenders, they were also the champion and runner-up of the Johto competition two years ago.

But there is also a gap between the champions.

Even though they tried their best, Man Feng's Gala Gala and Dai Hippo were still defeated faster than they had expected.

"Solve it - scissors guillotine!"

With another headless soul (wrong) caught under the claws of the giant crab, the only smart Houndoom left on the field has the fighting power.

"Heiluga, big words explode!"

Even though he was fighting alone, Congrui still tried to command Houndoom to make one last stand.

"Smash it!"

Bang-!

The flame that solidified into substance was shattered by the even more condensed water flow.

"One more time, crab punch."

Wang Yao's command style remains concise and efficient.

"Jump up!"

With his agile body, Houndoom jumped away from the red crab that was as tough as an iron wall and flew into the air briefly.

But being stuck in the air doesn't mean being safe.

"Sun Coral! Rock Crit!"

As Shizuka commanded Sun Coral to deliver the final blow to Houndoom, who was struggling alone.

The battle on the second level of the doubles mode also came to an end.

"Battle won! The match time has been locked for you, please go to the third floor as soon as possible!"

The electronic sound of R sounded in their ears, Wang Yao and Shizuka took back their Pokémon and stepped into the passage leading to the upper level together.

……

The third floor is a special ice and snow venue, with several huge snow-making machines working continuously around the battlefield.

"You passed the first two levels in three minutes and twenty-two seconds. It seems that you two have some strength."

Catherine smoothed the white hair behind the Nine-Tailed Fox beside her and looked up at the person who came.

"But that's where the luck ends!"

“Chuck!” (The cry is taken from the Alola Ninetales cry in Pokémon Sun & Moon episode 60, “Liliae Jumps! Pokésled Jumping Contest!!”)

The Nine-Tailed Fox instantly flew into the air and walked on the snow to the center of the venue.

"Hey... didn't you say it was a doubles match? Why is there only one..."

Shizuka's right hand, which was about to take out the Poké Ball, stopped at her waist and asked in confusion.

"Humph! You can't even see through this... It looks like you're destined to fall on the third floor."

Catherine raised her white eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of contempt.

In the Pokémon world, it is common sense that a character's hair color matches their specialty attributes.

"Can't you see it... Hmm? It's the Snow Fairy, right?"

Wang Yao touched his chin and thought of the seven snow boys in the control room.

Dr. Rambo seemed to have said before...those snow boys were borrowed from the tower master.

The branch evolutions of Snow Boy are Snow Demon Girl and Ice Ghost Guardian.

"Oh? That's quite knowledgeable."

As Catherine finished her words, a vague figure appeared in the artificial snowstorm on the third level.

"Mee-lo~" (The cry comes from the 115th episode of Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, "The Snow Fairy in the Snowstorm!" The Snow Fairy's cry sounds a bit like Meloetta's.)

Her appearance is like a masked girl in a kimono, which makes the Snow Fairy always have a place among the "wife beasts".

But if you look closely, you can find that this guy actually only has one head.

The part that looks like a body is just a hollow ribbon.

"So cute~"

Shizuka breathed a sigh of relief and tilted her head to look at the Snow Fairy with a smile.

"Lend it to me."

Then she took out the illustrated book from Wang Yao's pocket. She wanted to see where she could get this Pokémon.

"Ding--Snow Fairy, the Snow Country Pokémon!"

"...It appears in places where it snows frequently, and it will freeze the humans or Pokémon it likes into ice cubes and bring them back to its nest...

"…and it only targets handsome men, so there is a rumor that it is the reincarnation of a woman who died in the snowy mountains."

"Eh? A handsome man?"

As the introduction of the illustrated book was completed, Shizuka lost interest in taming the Snow Demon Girl.

Isn't this a yandere landmine girl?

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are the only one who specializes in ice attributes, right?"

Wang Yao rubbed his hands. He was still wearing a summer beach short-sleeved shirt and didn't want to stay in this damn place for a moment.

"Go, Ivory Pig—crush them for me!"

Bang——! ! ! !

As the four hooves sank into the snow, the entire third layer seemed to tremble.

"Humph!"

A heavy breathing sound, covering the wind and snow, resounded throughout the battlefield.

"Ivory pig? What a huge size!"

Kathryn's eyes widened instantly.

For her who loves ice attributes, nothing is more eye-catching than a fat giant ivory pig.

"Then I'm here...Okay, it's decided to be you - Psyduck!"

Shizuka thought for a moment and threw out her own Pokémon with 'Thick Fat' as well.

"Qua~"

Psyduck appeared at the feet of Ivory Pig, holding its head.

"Quaa?"

A chill ran from the soles of Yaya's feet to the three strands of hair on top of her head.

"Quack, quack, quack, quack!"

Psyduck tap danced on the snow.

"Cuck!"

Trotting all the way to Shizuka's side, Psyduck jumped up and pressed the button on the Poké Ball in Shizuka's hand.

biu——!

Then it turned into a red light and hid in the warm and comfortable Poké Ball.

"Beep! Psyduck has lost the will to fight. Challenger, please switch to a backup Pokémon."

The righteous referee robot R immediately announced that Psyduck was out of the game.

"Eh?"

Shizuka stood there in a daze, holding the Poké Ball.

"Eh?!!!"

"Ayao, that's all..."

Shizuka turned her head helplessly and looked at Wang Yao.

The dead duck usually eats eggs and is used to a life of luxury... Although he has good talent, his fighting spirit is a mess.

"Don't you have an armored rhinoceros? It grew up in the snowfield and should not be afraid of the wind and snow here."

Wang Yao touched Shizuka's head with some amusement and reminded her.

"Oh, right! All right, come on - Little Pointy!"

Shizuka took out another commemorative ball and threw it.

"Moo~"

The armored rhinoceros sniffed Shizuka's scent with its nose and rubbed Shizuka's palm affectionately with the sharp horns on its head.

The armored rhinoceros adopted by Shizuka was the weakest one in the snowfield of Shirogane Mountain. Due to food shortage during its growth period, its body size was only half that of an ordinary armored rhinoceros.

Even after several months of recuperation, it has grown in size, but its body is still much thinner than a normal armored rhinoceros.

"Alright, alright, stop being a spoiled brat later, now it's battle time!"

Shizuka held the little pointed horn on the tip of her nose and changed the direction.

"Moo~"

Little Pointy Horn lowered his head and dug up the snow on the ground. The eyesight of the armored rhinos was not very good.

But as an armored rhinoceros that grew up on the snowfield, it is naturally able to smell the scent of frozen dry grass under the snow.
