There was no panic on Ice's face as the Froslass beside her had flown out and then met Growlithe's attack with a Shadow Ball.
On the other hand, Charmander quickly closed in on Ice, and Froslass, who was battling Growlithe, apparently had nothing left to block Charmander.
But Ice was still staring at Rope with a look of infatuation.
Rope knew the woman had a backhand, she just didn't know what her backhand was. Still... the mystery should be revealed soon as well.
Charmander's claws were about to come into contact with Ice's neck, and at that moment, Charmander suddenly felt a stagnation in his body, followed by a huge force that sent him flying.
Fortunately, Charmander had also sensed something was wrong long ago, so he had maintained a defensive stance all along. But the blow was still heavy, and Charmander tried his best to stabilize his center of gravity before staggering to the ground. He looked up at the other Froslass that had appeared, a fierce glint in his eyes.
Rope raised an eyebrow at the sight of the Froslass. Interesting, a purple belt, a shiny Froslass.
Charmander didn't hear Rope's command, which meant that Rope meant for Charmander to keep fighting on his own.
Charmander happens to have no intention of retreating either, and the next instant is a pillar of fire that strikes towards shiny Froslass.
Shiny Froslass was still elegantly covering its mouth with a light smile. It was obvious that these two Froslass were both taught by the same trainer, even their little habits at hand were the same.
It was presumably hatched from the egg by the trainer himself, and only such a Pokémon could inherit the trainer's character and mindset to the greatest extent possible.
Shiny egg, Rope is more jealous...
Shiny Froslass dodged the first attack of the pillar of fire by dodging sideways, but Charmander's pillar of fire wasn't that easy to dodge with Rope's reinforcement, so Charmander directly twisted his head and the pillar of fire in his mouth moved sideways with it, chasing after Froslass.
This was another advantage of Rope's enhancement, the heat resistance was greatly increased, which also made Flamethrower, which could only be sprayed out and then left alone, a skill that could exist for a long time.
Charmander is using Ember... that's fine...
The shiny Froslass over there was also startled by the sudden follow up of the pillar of fire, which was different from any of the battles she had fought before, but she was quite calm, and seeing that she couldn't avoid it, she hastily put away the Ice Shard she was brewing in her hand, and turned it into 'Protect'. It had to be said that based on this impromptu change of moves alone, this Froslass's combat experience and combat talent was absolutely top notch.
Charmander's pillar of fire couldn't be maintained all the time either. It wasn't that he couldn't stand it, it was just that, amongst Rope's tactics, there was no need to maintain this skill after achieving the original tactical objective. Whether it's forcing a maneuver or blocking the line of sight, it's a good choice.
It's actually kind of hard for Charmander and Growlithe with this fight. Throwing aside the fact that the initial fight is the final evolution, the fact that Rope doesn't give clear commands, but only orders evasion when it's dangerous, and that the battle planes are left to Charmander and Growlithe's own judgment, is hard enough for them.
But it also has to do with Rope and their position.
Rope wasn't just a trainer, but in necessary situations, such as meeting some big boss in the field, Rope needed Growlithe and the others to clean up the stragglers around them, and then fight the boss on their own...
So it's a way to exercise their ability to fight on their own, Rope's tactical system was already roughly thought out the moment he met Charmander. And what Rope is doing right now is slowly approaching his tactical goals.
The moment Charmander hits shiny Froslass, Charmander immediately comes up with his best tactic.
Smokescreen, Ember, Dragon Rush.
Smokescreen blocked shiny Froslass's view, shiny Froslass didn't panic, she just waved her sleeve and then used Icy Wind to blow away all the Smokescreen.
At the moment when she blew away the Smokescreen, a pillar of fire came again, and shiny Froslass, who still couldn't dodge it, could only continue to defend by using Protect. At this moment, Charmander had already jumped up high, and then a purplish-red light appeared on his body, and when he fell down from the high place, a purplish-red dragon-like shadow appeared, roaring and attacking towards shiny Froslass.
Shiny Froslass didn't choose to use Protect again, this really wasn't the time to gamble.
A pink light glow around shiny Froslass, and she used Psychic.
It had to be said that Psychic-type could only be described as 'and its good use' regardless of Pokémon or skill.
Just like now, Psychic, which was clearly an attack skill, could also become a defense skill after a certain amount of flexible use.
Charmander's Dragon Rush just collided with shiny Froslass' Psychic.
Then, it just stagnated.
Dragon-type and Psychic-type energy were seperated, looked at each other and shiny Froslass looked at Charmander's eyes that were crazy in their perseverance and revealed a contemptuous smile.
Charmander naturally saw that I slightly raised arc of contempt. A nameless fire rose in the bottom of his heart.
Against Froslass, against himself...
Why am I so powerless? Why am I, why am I, so weak!
Charmander couldn't help but let out a childish growl. And to his amazement, that growl, actually went from only, to incipiently imposing.
The white light on Charmander's body lit up, and in the white light, Charmander's body began to gradually elongate, and soon turned into another shape.
Ice immediately ordered at the sight.
"Froslass, take shelter! Use Blizzard to interrupt his evolution!"
shiny Froslass naturally obeyed and retreated, then prepared Blizzard.
But Ice's side was indeed in great peril now.
Rope transformed into flames and shinyed to Ice's side with a lightning speed, choking Ice with one hand and condensing a fire blade with flames with the other.
"Your style is still making me rather sick..."
Rope whispered rather coldly, even with murderous intent.
Interrupting a Pokémon's evolution was something that would hurt a Pokémon's origin. Of course, injuring the origin was a small probability event.
The high probability was death on the spot.
Rope had always shouted something about not needing to keep any jianghu morals when dealing with crookedness. But in reality, Rope never had the idea of killing someone or a Pokémon.
He loved Pokémon when he was still in the original world, so he would feel sorrow and grief over the deaths of the thousands of Mukes. That's why he won't hesitate to participate in the big event and do what he can to minimize the loss.
By this time, shiny Froslass's Blizzard was complete, and the harsh cold winds mixed with icy gravel surged in Charmander's direction.
Rope's heart was worried, the more worried he was, the tighter he squeezed his hand, Ice had already been squeezed to the point where his face was flushed, and it was clear that he was on the verge of suffocating in rhythm.
Suddenly, the flame on Rope's body excitedly leapt.
The stone in Rope's heart finally fell. The hand that was choking Ice's neck also loosened all of a sudden.
Ice covered her neck and staggered back, panting heavily without regard for her image. Her snow-white neck bore the marks of a Red-colored burn.
Rope looked at Charmander's position and whispered, "Welcome, Charmeleon."
A massive column of white fire, slammed through Blizzard and then blasted into the shiny Froslass.
