Cryogonal's sharp edges gleamed coldly. A raindrop fell from the sky and landed on one of them, instantly shattering into powder.
"Come back."
Ye Qing knew Milotic could not break free of the ice. Rather than waste time letting the opponent grow stronger, he might as well send out another Pokémon.
Ye Qing threw Infernape's Poké Ball and shouted, "Let your flames burn!"
"Ah-cha!"
Infernape materialized in midair, and a blast of scorching flames became a raging dragon, instantly sweeping toward Cryogonal.
At the sight of the scorching flames, Zhang Sisi's expression changed for the first time. She hurriedly called, "Protect!"
Whoosh!
The flames engulfed Cryogonal in an instant, but thanks to Protect, Cryogonal remained completely unaffected inside.
Ye Qing frowned slightly. Why use Protect?
Even if Flamethrower hit Cryogonal, with the earlier Light Screen in place, it shouldn't do too much damage. Wasn't this just wasting a precious Protect?
While Ye Qing was thinking, Cryogonal once again turned into a cutting machine and sliced toward Infernape.
"Ah-cha!"
Infernape darted above Cryogonal and hammered a Mach Punch down onto its flat surface.
Clang!
A metallic impact rang out as Cryogonal was punched away like a flying saucer.
To test his theory, Ye Qing shouted, "Keep using Flamethrower!"
Zhang Tuzhen shouted excitedly, "Go, Bro Monkey!"
Zhang Sisi shouted, "Light Screen!"
Before Cryogonal could float up from the ground, a wall composed of blue hexagonal shapes once again blocked the flames!
A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Qing's mouth. He knew what was going on now.
"Keep turning up the power!"
"Ah-cha!"
Infernape's chest swelled, its enormous lung capacity allowing the flames to double in size!
Unlike Protect, Light Screen could not block heat.
The scorching heat melted the snow, and even the surrounding ground began to melt.
Cryogonal grew
