The Dragon-type energy surrounding Dragon Claw scattered the moment it touched the Ice-type energy in Ice Beam, as though terrified of that power.
Although Dragon Claw had tremendous destructive power, it was far less effective against Ice-type moves.
After breaking through Dragon Claw, Ice Beam poured all its energy onto Garchomp's body.
Garchomp let out an agonized scream under the Ice-type attack, but the scream abruptly cut off, as though its throat had been seized.
Ice Beam's freezing effect triggered. A wave of icy power spread over Garchomp's entire body, turning it into an ice sculpture and leaving it frozen.
"Swampert, use Ice Beam again!" After freezing Garchomp, Zhang Cheng ordered Swampert to launch another Ice-type move, intending to keep dealing damage.

Swampert began gathering Ice-type energy again, preparing to fire another Ice Beam at Garchomp.
"Did you think those dirty little tricks would be enough to deal with Garchomp?" Su Qian looked at the frozen Garchomp and said resentfully, "I was planning to save this trump card for the semifinals, but since you're being such a nuisance, I'll let you experience it first!"
As he spoke, Su Qian took out a special stone. Zhang Cheng was familiar with this kind of stone and recognized it at a glance as a Pokémon Evolution Crystal.

After gaining that increase
