Dragon-Slayer Cloyster

"Cloyster, Shell Smash!"

With Lorelei's command, the battle officially began.

Shell Smash?

It wasn't a particularly common move.

A faint glow appeared around Cloyster's body, and its speed surged dramatically.

"Aerodactyl, Stone Edge!"

Faced with Cloyster's sudden increase in speed, Lance was surprised, but he did not panic. He calmly gave his command.

"Roar—!!"

Aerodactyl violently beat its wings twice, and sharp, pointed stone spikes formed at its sides.

"That's right." Xia Yan nodded.

"Although Cloyster's Ice-type moves counter Aerodactyl's Flying-type, Aerodactyl's Rock-type moves also counter Ice-type Pokémon. Cloyster has the advantage of being Water-type, but its overall advantage isn't that great. Using Shell Smash twice boosts it in every aspect, but its lowered physical defense also gives Aerodactyl an opportunity," Steven added.

Aerodactyl's Stone Edge hurting Cloyster just now was the best proof.

"Mm. If Lance can seize that opening, he can directly secure victory. But if Aerodactyl fails to seize it..."

Xia Yan could not help shaking his head.

"What do you mean?"

While they talked, Lance and Lorelei's battle reached a critical moment.

Naturally, Lance would not waste the chance presented by Cloyster using Shell Smash a second time.

"Aerodactyl, Rock Slide!"

After witnessing the speed boost brought
