Seeing Ash's smile, Sakura's heart suddenly felt uneasy. As Axew fell, Sakura's eyes instantly showed surprise.
There was no impression of it falling into the water. She looked carefully at the entire field and was shocked.
At this moment, Axew stood on a block of ice. Looking closely around, no one had realized earlier. Everyone's attention was focused on the battle. It was only now that they discovered the problem.
With Cloyster's attack just now, the pool's temperature rapidly dropped. Under Ice Beam's offensive, the pool surface was now covered in a thick layer of frost. The entire pool had become a flat ice surface.
"This... this is..." Daisy and Lily on the shore were also filled with surprise.
"So that's it. Ash has been dodging all along, trying to use Cloyster's attacks to freeze the pool. This way, Axew will have enough footing to maximize its power. Brilliant!"
On the audience stand, Brock unconsciously clenched his fists and excitedly spoke. He finally understood what Ash was planning.
Although there had been footing before, because they were all floating platforms on the water surface, if one wanted to jump from the floating platforms, they would be difficult to keep stable.
Therefore, accumulating power was always a bit lacking. Deliberately dodging left and right was to make Cloyster's attacks freeze the water surface, giving Axew a foothold to unleash a decisive blow.
"As expected of Ash!!" Misty also finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried when she saw Ash in a passive position.
On the field.
"You only attacked, but ignored your footing. In the pool, Axew had no advantage, but now... it's our turn to attack." Ash looked at the sparkling light in his opponent's eyes.
"Go! Axew!"
Haxorus!
With Ash's command, Axew let out a low growl and immediately charged out. After discovering that the pool had frozen over, Sakura was already a little flustered. After hearing Ash's words, she immediately gave a command.
"Cloyster, use Icicle Spear!"
Bang! Bang!!!
Cloyster continuously released energy towards Axew. But at this moment, Axew slid directly on the ice surface. Originally, with the four Dragon Dance buffs, its speed was already fast enough. At this moment, it used the ice surface to slide, making its speed even faster.
With such movements, Cloyster's attack speed simply couldn't keep up. Axew rapidly closed the distance to Cloyster.
"Damn it! So fast! In that case, full defense! Cloyster, use Withdraw!"
The attacks completely failed to hit. Sakura was also a little flustered. Unable to attack, she could only defend. She immediately gave the command. Cloyster heard her words and immediately retreated into its shell. The double shell closed tightly, and its outer shell began to glow.
"This time, you can't block it. Axew, use Bite!" Axew quickly slid. Looking at Cloyster entering its shell, Axew suddenly leaped up.
Using the speed of sliding on the ice, it quickly closed the distance after leaping. With four power boosts, under Ash's command,
Axew's sharp teeth suddenly flashed with dazzling light. It pounced onto Cloyster's body and bit into Cloyster.
"Impossible. Cloyster's defense is unbreakable." Sakura, seeing this, was still confident in Cloyster's defense.
Clang clang clang!!!
The moment Axew bit Cloyster's shell, a sound like metal clashing echoed. Sakura nervously watched the field, while Ash's expression remained calm.
Haxorus!
Axew, biting Cloyster, its eyes suddenly flashed. It exerted force with both jaws simultaneously, and an astonishing power erupted.
Bang!!!
Cloyster's shell suddenly let out a bang. Then a shattering sound simultaneously echoed. Cloyster's shell suddenly cracked under Axew's bite.
"What!!" Sakura looked horrified.
"You're finished, Axew. Give it the final Dragon Rage!!" The moment a crack appeared in Cloyster's shell, Ash gave the final command.
Roar!!!!
Axew bit Cloyster's mouth and didn't let go. Pale blue light emanated from its abdomen. Energy surged from its abdomen to its mouth. Then...
Boom!!!
An astonishing power directly erupted. The close-range Dragon Rage directly hit Cloyster. No matter how sturdy something was, if a flaw appeared and it was hit by a powerful attack, no matter how hard it was, it would instantly collapse.
The energy of Dragon Rage surged through the crack into Cloyster's shell. The interior was sealed. Energy surged in. In the sealed space, even with an inner shell, the crack was sealed by the energy of Dragon Rage. There were no other exits.
The pressure filling the space between the outer and inner shells was enough to crush the inner shell. Therefore, this energy made Cloyster unable to close its shell again.
The outer shell was directly forced open by the energy that had permeated inside. However, this also caused the energy of Dragon Rage to directly hit Cloyster's inner shell. The vibrating energy instantly caused an astonishing eruption.
The beam of Dragon Rage pushed Cloyster directly into the ice below. Under the powerful impact, the entire ice surface shattered. Ice Beam had only frozen a few feet deep; below that was still water.
The beam pushed Cloyster to the bottom of the pool. It crashed into the bottom of the pool. An astonishing explosion erupted. Shattered ice and pool water were blasted into the air, falling down like rain.
After the energy slowly subsided, this artificial rain also gradually calmed down. The ice in the pool shattered with the Dragon Rage attack, and there were also some scattered floating pieces, but it had returned to the appearance of a pool.
The water level had dropped a bit. Axew fell from the air, landing on a piece of ice. At the same time, it looked at other places. Everyone else also nervously watched the pool.
Slowly, a shadow emerged from the water. It was Cloyster. At this moment, Cloyster's shell was open, and it no longer wore its usual mischievous smile.
Its eyes spun around. It was clearly unconscious. Seeing this scene, everyone knew the result was set. Sakura looked at this scene, and for some reason, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ash wins!!" On the audience stand, Misty looked at this scene, but her expression became a bit complex. She didn't know whether to be happy for Ash or sad for the Cerulean City Gym.
