"Then, let the battle begin."
After glancing at Lu Ze's Hydreigon, Lorelei nodded and spoke.
Once she finished speaking, Lu Ze was surprised to find that Lorelei seemed like a completely different person.
She had seemed so gentle just now. Why had she suddenly become so sharp?
However, Lu Ze did not dwell on it. After nodding, he watched Lorelei pick up a stone from the ground.
"When the stone hits the ground, the battle begins."
As Lorelei spoke, she tossed the stone into the air.
"Clang~"
The small stone landed on the ice with a crisp sound.
The battle officially began.
"Slowking, Icy Wind!"
Lorelei commanded her Slowking to use a move.
Her intention was obvious: lower Hydreigon's speed.
But Lu Ze did not care about that and went straight on the offensive!
"Blast Burn!"
Slowking was not very fast, so high-powered moves like this were best suited for dealing with him.
The accuracy was reasonably guaranteed as well.
[Blast Burn] pierced through [Icy Wind], weakening some of [Icy Wind]'s damage while also having its temperature lowered by [Icy Wind].
"Dodge!"
Lorelei pushed up her glasses and commanded Slowking.
Slowking grinned at Hydreigon, moved his feet, and slid a great distance across the ice.
Lu Ze smacked his forehead, only then remembering that their battlefield was an ice rink.
On terrain like this, Water-type and Ice-type Pokémon that had mastered skating techniques were not slow at all.
Especially Lorelei's Pokémon.
Icefall Cave was where Lorelei trained her Pokémon. It could be said that nearly all of her Pokémon had mastered skating.
That meant the movement speed of some Ice-type and Water-type Pokémon was no longer an issue.
But for Lu Ze, it was a problem.
"This is a little troublesome."
Lu Ze muttered before commanding Hydreigon to attack again.
