[Ice Fang] hit head-on, striking Clawitzer directly and knocking it back several steps.
After steadying itself, Clawitzer stared resolutely at Deino in front of it.
After landing its attack, Deino wore a delighted smile.
"Aqua Tail!"
Zhong Yijun once again commanded his Clawitzer to attack.
But Clawitzer truly was not very strong right now, especially when its Ability could not be used.
"Deino, use Ice Fang again!"
Lu Ze likewise commanded his Deino to attack.
Compared to Clawitzer, whose Ability was useless, Deino was in a much better position.
Although Hustle lowered its accuracy somewhat, Lu Ze's Aura nearly eliminated Hustle's side effect.
Under these circumstances, Deino's physical attack was higher than Clawitzer's.
That was why Clawitzer had such a hard time facing Deino right now.
One could not use its Ability, while the other had a useful Ability without any side effects.
One had no long-range moves and only close-range physical attacks.
The other had stronger physical attack capabilities because of both its Ability and species.
Under those circumstances, it was very difficult for Clawitzer to defeat Deino.
Battles between newly born Pokémon were different from battles between more developed Pokémon.
For newly born Pokémon, a disadvantage was simply a disadvantage. There was rarely any chance of turning things around.
After Aqua Tail and Ice Fang collided again, Clawitzer still came out slightly worse.
"Dragon Breath!"
Deino's final Dragon Breath became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Dragon Breath hit, and Clawitzer immediately lost its ability to battle.
"As expected of the World Youth Championships individual champion."
After returning his defeated Clawitzer to its Poké Ball, Zhong Yijun could not help but sigh.
"Your Clawitzer is pretty good. Raise it well."
After catching the Deino that pounced at him, Lu Ze praised Zhong Yijun as well.
