"Beep, beep, beep—"
Regieleki let out a high-pitched series of beeps that sounded suspiciously like a scream.
The next moment,
the sound cut off, swallowed by the blizzard.
"Looks like it froze solid," Baimu said. "Poor kid."
Regice, meanwhile, had suffered little beyond a web of cracks on its back that looked like a puncture wound. Bands of lightning still wrapped around its body, making it difficult to move.
Regice's monstrous Special Defense spoke for itself. Regieleki's Special Attack wasn't that high, and even with its Transistor Ability, there was no way it could take Regice down in one hit.
Just look at it!
The golden dots of its cross-shaped face shone like a constellation. It was clearly full of energy!
As for Lightning Cage...
"Use Stomping Tantrum! Pause for a beat, then rush out!"
He issued another command to the trapped Regice.
Thud!
The ground shook!
A brownish-yellow shock wave spread from Regice. Amid the rolling dust, the lightning surrounding it twisted under the force of the blast.
"Now!"
"Jiji—le! Ji! Ai!"
Regice burst through the dust and escaped the Lightning Cage.
Using a type advantage to disrupt certain long-lasting moves was something Baimu had been studying since the start of the year.
He had to.
If Ash could break Trick Room with X-Scissor, tear through Psychic Terrain with Fury Cutter, and even burrow underground to destroy Toxic Spikes with Flare Blitz, Baimu had to keep up with the anime's rules.
Fortunately, precious few people knew how to do it.
At the sight, Regirock gave a humming cry, sounding much like the Gym Leaders and Elite Four members who had been stunned by Ash.
"Bzzzz—"
"You've got some tricks up your sleeve, kid!"
"Battling with your head is bound to be different from battling on instinct," Baimu replied.
