Energy erupted throughout Infernape's body once more, filling his limbs and tail with boundless strength.
The two Pokémon grappled with each other. As the saying went, two fists were no match for four hands.
And Infernape had his tail as another formidable weapon, so Cryogonal not only failed to gain an advantage but was sent flying again.
With the boost from Iron Defense, Cryogonal's physical defense had increased, so it miraculously remained standing even after Infernape's wild pummeling.
Ye Qing pointed at Cryogonal and was just about to issue a command when he saw Infernape frown slightly and push off the ground, his tremendous strength cracking the surface beneath his feet.
He curled up in midair and hurtled toward Cryogonal like a blazing wheel.
What was this?
Ye Qing froze. Had his mind connected with Infernape's?
Why could Infernape know the move he was thinking of before he even had time to say it?
Zhang Sisi continued giving orders. "Icy Wind!"
"Ah-ya!"
A biting gust blew toward the Flame Wheel, freezing all the ground in its path.
Cryogonal's stamina and mental energy were badly depleted, leaving this Icy Wind somewhat lacking in power.
Infernape crushed the ground before it could freeze completely, broke through the Icy Wind, and slammed headfirst into Cryogonal!
"Congratulations."
Zhang Sisi recalled Cryogonal and took a snowflake-shaped Badge from inside her clothes.
"Thank you."
Ye Qing carefully stepped down from the platform and reached out to accept it.
"Ah-cha!"
Infernape turned to look at his trainer. He did not know why, but a voice deep inside him had kept telling him to use Flame Wheel.
Zhang Tuzhen ran over and said excitedly, "Wow, big bro, your battle was amazing! Your luck wasn't so great, though."
Ye Qing: ...
Infernape: ...
"Quiet."
Xiao Huan curled a finger
