Dual-career Pokémon trainer

"Go ahead, Horned Goldfish, first the Horned Attack!"

The goldfish, with half of its body exposed above the water, heard Xiaoxia's voice, and its red and white tail and fins, which were like a skirt, swayed gently. In a few breaths, it swam to the side of Liuwei, leaving only ripples on the water behind it.

The sharp horns on its head emitted a cold light, as if they were going to pierce through everything that stood in its way.

Both Liuwei and Lin Jing seemed to be stunned by the terrifying explosive power and speed and did not move at all.

boom-----

A crisp sound like breaking glass appeared instantly, and the sharp corners really pierced Vulpix through, even leaving cracks on its body.

No, cracks?

wow~

Before Xiaoxia could react, the six tails in front of the horned goldfish had shattered into pieces like a real mirror and fell into the water, leaving only the horned goldfish that had re-entered the water, looking around in confusion.

"Oh no, the goldfish is about to dive into the water."

Although she didn't know what was going on, Xiaoxia noticed something was wrong and immediately asked the goldfish to hide.

But unfortunately, it seems a little too late.

The moment Xiaoxia spoke, the goldfish felt a chill coming over it.

A horned goldfish not far away was already spitting out endless white snow. Under the attack of the icy cold air, the water surface around the horned goldfish had instantly solidified, and the horned goldfish itself was already covered with most of the white snow.

"Hurry up, Goldfish, and use your random attacks to break free, or you won't be able to escape once the ice is completely solidified!"

"Jiu~"

The goldfish struggled hard with the muscles trained by constant swimming, and cracks instantly appeared on the ice around it. The red and white fish tail slapped heavily when the ice loosened.

The goldfish leaped high with the force and finally escaped from being made into frozen sashimi.

"The response is very quick."

Lin Jing was also a little surprised at Xiaoxia's behavior.

If Xiaoxia's command had been a little slower, the goldfish would have been unable to move after the frost had completely solidified.

Fortunately, there is no if, and the goldfish successfully escaped from the small trap set by Lin Jing this time.

However, unlike Lin Jing's indifference, the look in Xiaoxia's eyes when she looked at Vulpix was no longer the emotion of seeing a cute Pokémon and wanting to hug it tightly, but the fear of a Pokémon that was full of threats and unknown.

"That just now...wasn't a stand-in, what on earth was it..."

"That's just a mirror made of ice covered by snowflakes.

Vulpix's true form has long since left that location."

As if seeing Xiaoxia's confusion, Lin Jing explained it generously.

"We're still fighting, is it okay to just explain the principles of the moves like this?"

After hearing Lin Jing's words, Xiaoxia didn't know what to feel for a moment.

Why does it feel like she has become the challenger, trying to solve the problem posed by the other party?

“Because this move requires the cover of snowflakes and the refraction of light according to the angle, it is basically impossible to use it in the next battle.

And...our attack is not over yet."

Click---

With a crisp snap of fingers, Vulpix's little mouth opened again.

In a moment, the water field, which was already filled with floating ice debris, slowly solidified again.

It was no longer a fine snow move, but a freezing wind full of cold.

“It’s useless. It’s impossible to attack the underwater horned goldfish with ice-attribute moves using the power of the freezing wind.

The power of the cold air can't be transmitted underwater at all."

Xiaoxia felt a little strange when she noticed Vulpix's actions, but she also showed a hint of sarcasm.

The ice surface that looks like it has been successfully condensed is, after all, just the surface. Even though it will lower the temperature underwater a little, this temperature is not a problem at all for the goldfish.

As for the other party wanting to block the water surface, that is even more impossible.

The horns of the hornfish are very sharp and can easily make a hole in the ice, making Vulpix's efforts in vain.

It's like this.

bump---

The crisp sound rang out again, and a big hole appeared on the ice surface which had just expanded a lot. The surrounding ice surface was also cracked into a huge spider web.

But it was a pity that, perhaps because of the delay caused by breaking through the ice, the attack of the horned goldfish was easily glided away by Vulpix.

Not figuratively, but literally gliding.

If you look closely, you can see that Vulpix's four paws are covered with ice shoes that are somewhat similar in shape to its own paws. With a slight tilt of the paws, the direction of movement will also shift. Even when making a sharp turn or needing to accelerate, the tail behind it can be used to accelerate or adjust.

It can be seen that Vulpix has been training in this area for a long time.

Considering the ice field had been extended a lot at this moment, the speed of the goldfish after it jumped out of the water seemed as slow as a kettle in the eyes of Vulpix.

"So it's not to attack the goldfish, but to increase Vulpix's landing points and speed?

Use the power of ice to transform the originally unsuitable venue into a battlefield more suitable for Vulpix! "

Sakura in the referee's booth also looked shocked.

This was the first time she had seen this method since taking over the gym.

It’s not that others haven’t thought of using ice properties to forcibly transform the venue.

However, there aren't many Ice-attribute Pokémon in Kanto, and the one that masters Ice-type moves is a Water-type Pokémon, so there's no need to use them this way.

And if you really encounter an Ice-type that is not good at water, they are often strong enough to get their badges directly.

This method of freezing the surface into an ice field is not only very fragile as Xiaoxia said, but it also consumes a lot of Pokémon's physical strength. Therefore, no one has used it before Lin Jing.

"So what if it's fast? The ice created by Vulpix isn't that hard.

Keeping creating ice to increase your footholds is very exhausting. I wonder how long you can keep doing this!"

"Goldfish, just keep hitting until the ice is broken!"

"Jiu!"

Following Xiaoxia's command, silver-white sharp corners continued to appear from the smooth ice surface. Pits appeared one after another wherever they passed. Under the continuous spread of dense spider webs, the complete pieces of ice surface had become large ice cubes as Xiaoxia wished.

Although it looks like it can still float on the water, if you try to jump on it, there is a high probability that many of them will capsize.

That's right, on the surface it seems that this move can block the opponent, or even turn the field into your own and even speed up, but in fact, apart from consuming a lot of physical strength, the effect is not as great as imagined.

But...

Looking at Vulpix, who was still creating ice with sweat dripping from his head, Lin Jing's mouth curled up slightly.
