Pokémon Court-Chapter 487: Bullying!

"Vul~pix~~"

Little Vulpix jumped down from Terrance's shoulder. The first Pokémon Terrance sent out was Ice Vulpix, and the reason he had decided beforehand to let Vulpix battle was...

Vulpix had only been born not long ago. So, Terrance's words carried a hint for Candice.

The Pokémon I'm sending out is just a child who hasn't been born for long. The second one will be my ace. You should send out a Pokémon that can match Ice Vulpix in strength. No need to go all out at the start—let's warm up first and battle for victory in the next round!

If Candice were to send out her main Pokémon right away, then no matter how talented Vulpix was, it wouldn't be able to handle it. Ice Vulpix's training time was too short.

"Go, Weavile!" Candice threw out a Poké Ball.

"Weavile?!" Terrance's mouth twitched.

This Weavile had a fierce and menacing look—its eyes were red, sharp fangs were slightly protruding out from its mouth, and its razor-sharp claws slashed through the air. Just one glance was enough to tell it was a battle-hardened Pokémon.

Terrance stared blankly at Candice's serious expression and recalled the words he spoke just now. No, there was nothing wrong with what he said...

"Terrance, bring it on! I'll give it my all!" Candice declared.

She didn't dare to be careless—especially since she knew nothing about Ice Vulpix. On top of that, after hearing many of Terrance's achievements from her father, Candice viewed Terrance as a formidable opponent!!

Seeing Candice still wearing that serious expression, Terrance felt bitter inside. So she had selectively ignored his hints, huh? His attempt to let Ice Vulpix gain some real battle experience... wasn't this just shooting himself in the foot?!

"If that's the case, then let's do this." Terrance took a deep breath.

"Weavile, use Quick Attack!"

The battle began. Candice swung her arm, and a white light gathered around Weavile as it dashed forward at high speed, rapidly circling the area where Ice Vulpix stood.

"So fast!"

The three onlookers gasped in shock. Vulpix was surrounded by Weavile's Quick Attack, looking completely bewildered. It anxiously glanced around in all directions, not knowing what to do.

But Weavile's running speed was simply too fast. With Little Vulpix's perception, it couldn't keep up at all.

"Don't panic, use Mist to obstruct the opponent's vision," Terrance said.

"Vul~pix~~" Little Vulpix cried out, summoning layers of mist that wrapped around its body and quickly spread outward. Although Weavile continued using Quick Attack, Vulpix's figure had already disappeared from its sight.

"Not attacking? Choosing a more cautious approach to probe the situation?"

"If that's the case, then I'll let Vulpix strike first..." Terrance thought to himself.

"Now, use Powder Snow to sweep across the arena!" In the next moment, Terrance issued his command.

Little Vulpix, hidden within the Mist, could still hear Terrance's instructions. It quickly formed Powder Snow in its mouth, forming an icy beam while twisting its body to sweep the attack around itself, trying to hit Weavile using this method.

"Weavile, use Icy Wind to counter Powder Snow and blow away the Mist!" Candice ordered.

"Ka!!" Weavile continued dashing around the Mist with Quick Attack while keeping an eye on its movements. As soon as a stream of Powder Snow burst from the mist, Weavile's eyes gleamed, and it unleashed a powerful Icy Wind!

Crack!!

Ice Vulpix's Powder Snow was instantly shattered and erased by Icy Wind, without giving it the slightest chance to resist. Seeing this, Terrance helplessly held his forehead.

At the same time, the mist was swiftly blown away by the force of Icy Wind, dispersing in one direction and leaving Vulpix standing there blankly, looking around in confusion.

"Don't just stand there—use Ice Shard to protect yourself!" Terrance quickly reminded.

Taking advantage of the cleared mist, Weavile, still moving with Quick Attack, happened to position itself behind Vulpix. At that moment, Candice revealed a victorious smile and commanded, "Feint Attack!"

Swoosh!!

Weavile turned into a blur and launched a sneak attack at Vulpix's back. Terrance's command was still a step too late. Even if he had given the order earlier, the time needed to execute the move and Vulpix's reaction speed were both far behind Weavile's.

Just as Vulpix hastily formed an Ice Shard to defend itself, Weavile had already reached its side. A crimson gleam flashed in its eyes, and its sharp claws slashed directly across!

"Uurgh~~"

A painful cry rang out, followed by a loud bang—Little Vulpix was struck and sent flying, knocked unconscious with a single blow. Terrance could only scratch his head helplessly.

"Little Vulpix, my intention was to find you an evenly matched opponent—don't blame me for this!" Terrance tried to clear himself of responsibility in his heart...

"It won!" Seeing Candice's Weavile claim victory in the first battle, the three onlookers exclaimed in surprise.

From the moment the battle started to its conclusion, Weavile moved with incredible agility. When Candice gave her commands, the spectators couldn't even tell whether she issued them first or if Weavile acted on its own!

This clearly demonstrated how well-coordinated Candice and her Weavile were.

"Vulpix has lost its ability to battle..." Candice felt like something was off, but since she was fully immersed in the fight against Terrance, she didn't dwell on it.

"You did great, Vulpix. Come back and rest for now." Terrance sighed slightly and retrieved Vulpix into its Poké Ball.

Then, he turned to Candice and said, "Next, I'll be sending out my strongest partner. Are you ready?"

"Of course! Bring it on!" Candice responded with high fighting spirit.

"Then, I choose you, Altaria!!" Terrance took out Altaria's Poké Ball from the first slot on his belt and gently tossed it into the air above the arena.

A flash of white light streaked across the sky, followed by a powerful cry that echoed throughout the Gym.

"Alt~aria~"

The sky-blue Altaria flapped its cotton-like feathery wings, stirring up waves of air currents as it gazed down at Weavile from above with a majestic presence!

"Terrance's ace—Altaria, huh..." Candice felt a surge of excitement in her heart and called out, "Weavile, this opponent is strong. Be careful with your movements!"

"We have the advantage in terms of type. Let's seize the initiative—use Quick Attack!"

It seemed Candice favored having Weavile use Quick Attack to maintain high-speed movement, avoiding enemy attacks. With such nimble maneuvering, most Pokémon would have a hard time landing a hit on Weavile.

"It's useless." Terrance spoke calmly. "Altaria, use ice chunks to seal off the entire arena!"

Whoosh~~

In an instant, Feather Dance was released, sending a flurry of cottony feathers drifting through the air. Though vast, they were very scattered. But it didn't stop there—what shocked Candice even more was that at some point, Altaria had started releasing waves of cold air, which combined with the dispersed cotton feathers to instantly create an enormous block of ice in the air!

"That's... Ice Beam!"
