Dragon Ascend

Re-entering the mountain path of [Mt. Chien], Aisha's boots stepped on the shallow snow that had piled up on top of the path along the mountain.

"Hoo-!!!"

Along with Aisha, Caterpie, and Azurill re-entering the mountain path, the cold wind whistling in the sky became a bit more severe, carrying drifting snowflakes to pummel Aisha's face.

A huge figure from the wind and snow between the whistling gradually into Aisha's eyes.

Caterpie and Azurill quickly escorted in front of their master.

"What is it this time?"

Aisha narrowed his eyes and gazed at the figure that gradually approached her.

The opponent's appearance was very conspicuous within the mountain path filled with rocks.

The huge and plump body was covered with thick white fur, the thick limbs contained strong strength, the palms and paws carried soft meat pads and sharp claws, the short head was undoubtedly a bear's appearance, and the most striking thing was the whiskers that had condensed into cones of ice under the head.

"Beartic..."

Aisha instantly recognized the identity of the enemy.

It was an ice-type Pokémon that had originated in the Unova region.

"So it's Snow Cloak trait?"

Beartic, which was over two meters tall, was hidden under the cover of the snowflakes, making it impossible to fully confirm its location - it was clearly the Snow Cloak trait, which could increase a Pokémon's evasion rate under snowy skies, that was at work.

Aisha let out a sigh of relief.

Beatic's strengths were strength and defense, and its speed was a bit poor.

If its trait was the Slush Rush that could double a Pokémon's speed under snowy weather, then the enhanced speed paired with its own excellent durability and strength could definitely cause some trouble for Aisha.

Snow Cloak, on the other hand, didn't matter.

It's just a 20% increase in evasion rate, which is meaningless to the real European Emperor - Lapras was used in online battles, and Aisha, who ended up with three consecutive Hydro Pump misses, thought so.

"Roar!"

By this time, the Beartic had already assumed a fighting stance.

Its heavy paws were stomping on the white snow, and it let out a fierce roar, and its soulless eyes were staring intently at Aisha's body.

"Lulli!"

The grumpy Azurill was instantly ready to attack.

"Don't rush."

However, Aisha stopped it.

"You watch first, this time it's Caterpie's specialty."

After a visual inspection, Aisha had confirmed that the Beatic's level was not low, but it was still at a level that Caterpie could handle on its own, and there was no need to directly send out his two Pokémon.

"Mee!"

Caterpie also twisted its huge body to come and walk in front of Azurill, leaving the descendant with a solid back.

"Lulli?"

A large question mark rose above Azurill's small head.

"ROAR!"

The Beartic roared and raised its stout claws, running and charging towards the one person and two favorites, and the light of the Fighting atribute move, Superpower, flashed above its fists.

This was its favored move, powerful enough to defeat the enemy in a single move.

Gazing at the Beartic that attacked towards him, Aisha, on the other hand, did not avoid it and smiled as he gave the order to meet it.

"Caterpie, use 'Dragon Ascend'!"

The skill that had been sealed during the live broadcast was finally used for the first time within a sparring match...

"Mee!"

The Caterpie's eyes changed, and a dense flying type energy wrapped around its body.

The splendid energy transformed into a long green dragon with teeth and claws, propelling the Caterpie's body into the sky, swiftly tearing through the sky of flying snow, carrying a swift and thunderous momentum, and crashing into the running Beartic without mercy.

"Boom-!!!"

The explosive sound of the clash of moves spread throughout the mountain path.

After the smoke dissipated, the Beaertic, which was still domineering and mighty just now, was now powerlessly crouching on top of the ground covered with shallow snow, not moving at all.

Caterpie stood on top of the tundra bear's spine, his huge body was smoking a trace of hot steam...

One move to stop the enemy!

This was Caterpie's true strength.

"See?"

Aisha smiled and looked towards Azurill who had a dumbfounded look on her face.

"Lulli..."

Azurill was shocked.

Thinking of her fight against the Caterpie, Azurill slightly compared the difference between her body and the Beartic... Cold sweat filled the top of her forehead.

It was fortunate that this move had not been used on herself.

"The power is actually this powerful?"

However, it wasn't just Azurill, even Aisha couldn't help but let out a gasp just the same when he saw Caterpie kill the Beartic in one hit.

As expected, the resistance of an ice-type Pokémon was a joke...

Caterpie's 'Dragon Ascend' was Aisha's biggest secret, and there was no way it would be exposed to the audience watching the live broadcast, so it was said that the one person and one pet never used this move to fight against each other during the live broadcast.

After two days of live broadcasting, the wild Pokémon that Aisha encountered were all weak guys, even the colony of Beedrills and Fearows that numbered nearly a hundred were just guys that could be easily destroyed by a single shot of Caterpie's Electroweb.

These enemies might be enough opponents for Azurill to hone her strength and moves.

However, they were just stepping stones for Caterpie to experience sparring himself...

Aisha's trainer talent was already needless to say, and he had skillfully grasped the knack of commanding Caterpie to go into a sparring match within the first day of wild practice.

Now, both he and Caterpie needed truly powerful enemies.

Chien-Pao's Eightfold Trial was clearly a good exercise.

"Who's the next enemy?"

Aisha looked ahead again.

"Swish!"

Before anyone could be seen, the harsh sound of breaking wind reached Aisha's ears first.

"Caterpie, be careful, use Electroweb towards the upper left!"

"Mee!"

Following Aisha's command, Caterpie released Electroweb towards the upper left, successfully intercepting a Cryogonal that was using Rapid Spin.

It was at this time that a ghostly figure quietly attacked Caterpie as well.

"Azurill, use Aqua Jet on that sneak attacker!"

"Lulli!"

Azurill reacted in time and intercepted the enemy's sneak attack with a jet of water.

That ghostly figure also pulled away, and a black-skinned Pokémon with red feather-like decorations on its head grazed its claws and landed next to Cryogonal.

"Cryogonal and Weavile... Heh."

Aisha decided to tackle the high offense and high speed Weavile first.

"Caterpie use Electroweb to attack Weavile, limit this guy's speed, Azurill take the opportunity to use Aqua Jet to attack!"

The future Dragon Slaying Warrior deserved Aisha's seriousness.

If this guy slashed Caterpie with his claws, the power of quadruple restraint was no joke.
