"Get out of there!"
The roar of the sandstorm could not drown out Zhengyi's shout.
Gliscor stared at Porygon2's cold gaze, its golden pupils shrinking to pinpoints. It released its bite, adjusted its wings, and tried to ride the wind as sand swept back into the open space.
Gliscor was a Pokémon said to be capable of circling the globe on the slightest breeze.
But as a Pokémon that flew by gliding, it could not pull away as quickly as birds that could flap their wings.
And Porygon2's reactions were hardly slow enough to let Gliscor escape from such close range.
There was dodging, and then there was dodging!
"Pory!"
An icy-blue bolt shot from the tip of its oval tail. The freezing light seemed to freeze the air in its path, turning the flying sand white as though the sandstorm had become a blizzard.
It can't dodge!
The moment Gliscor folded its wings and dived, Zhengyi knew Ice Beam would hit it.
"Ro—"
Screech—boom!
An ear-grating whine rang out, then a cloud of frigid white mist burst overhead, making many spectators shudder.
A moment later.
Gliscor fell from the mist encased in a huge block of ice. It struck the ground with a crash, scattering shards everywhere.
Four times weak to Ice and hit head-on—Gliscor was in serious trouble.
The juice vendor sighed. Though the sandstorm had kept him from seeing every detail, he felt Gliscor's headlong assault on Porygon2 had been brave but reckless.
Baimu had clearly counted on it!
Discharge had wiped out Double Team. He had taken Thunder Fang to locate the real Gliscor, then retaliated with Ice Beam at close range.
Unlike Sandslash's claws, which had a fixed reach, Porygon2 could fire an Ice Beam across ten meters without trouble!
Baimu's reputation was well earned.
