The pink Dazzling Gleam flashed, but to Cynthia's surprise, Leon actually commanded his Mr. Rime to use Freeze-Dry!
Using Freeze-Dry in a field filled with water vapor froze all the vapor almost instantly.
Including Togekiss within the water vapor!
Togekiss was directly afflicted with Freeze.
The frozen water vapor fell to the ground like hail, forming a vast spread of ice pellets across the field.
"Come back, Togekiss!"
Seeing her Togekiss afflicted with Freeze, Cynthia immediately took out a Poké Ball and recalled Togekiss.
The moment she recalled Togekiss, Cynthia immediately sent out her next Pokémon.
"Go, Lucario!"
Lucario was weak to Ground, Fighting, and Fire types.
And Mr. Rime possessed none of those three types.

Lucario was incredibly fast, arriving before Mr. Rime in the blink of an eye.
A Meteor Mash slammed directly into Mr. Rime, sending it flying.
"Light Screen!"
As Mr. Rime flew through the air, Lucario immediately followed up with Flash Cannon.
But Leon reacted just as quickly, immediately commanding Mr. Rime to use Light Screen and block Lucario's attack.

After two rounds of attacks, Mr. Rime could no longer hold on.
After a wave of Psychic type power, Leon recalled Mr. Rime into its Poké Ball.
Although Mr. Rime had not yet lost its ability to battle, it was practically no different from having done so.
Its stamina was already at
