Two spheres faced each other across the air, their spinning energy patterns resonating in an instant as dark purple light trembled faintly in the space between them.
Wallace stood in the command zone on the far shore, his pupils narrowing slightly as he watched the two Spiral Shadow Balls.
"Walrein, Blizzard!"
Walrein's body surged out from the cresting waves as icy blue energy poured from its mouth, transforming into a freezing current laden with ice crystals that crashed head-on into the roiling tidal wave.
"Crack—crack—crack—"
The wave's surface froze at a visible pace. The murky water became an ash-white wall of ice under the extreme cold, ice crystals rapidly spreading through the wave's structure and freezing its front half into a solid ice barrier in the blink of an eye.
But the wave was simply too massive. The tide formed by Surf and muddy water combined stood seven or eight meters tall and several meters thick. Although Walrein's Blizzard had frozen its surface and leading edge, it could not solidify the entire wave in such a short time.
The wave's momentum remained.
Like an enormous battering ram, the frozen ice wall carried the muddy water behind it and continued crushing toward Eevee and Gardevoir amid a deep, rumbling roar.
The ice sheet continuously shattered as it moved, scattering shards everywhere. Ash-white ice crystals mixed with murky water, forming a devastating tide that threatened both impact and freezing.
At the same time, Gardevoir and Eevee made their moves.
The two Spiral Shadow Balls traced dark purple arcs through the air and collided precisely in midair before the tidal wave.
"Boom!!!"
The instant the two Spiral Shadow Balls collided, dark purple energy erupted wildly like a flood bursting through a dam.
Unlike an ordinary explosion, the collision of Spiral Shadow Balls caused
