Mamoswine's sharp tusks were among its most powerful weapons. They could easily shatter blocks of ice and were extremely destructive.
At that moment, Mamoswine lay on the ground and used Rock Smash against Lairon, attacking with those two three-meter-long tusks.
One of the tusks flipped Lairon over, and both Pokémon struggled to their feet at the same time. The opponent pointed at the ground beneath them. "Ice Beam!"
Mamoswine used Ice Beam beneath its feet, freezing the entire area around its body into a sheet of ice. Lairon struggled to move on the slippery surface. Mamoswine, however, had no such concerns. The thick layers of fat on its feet provided enough cushioning and traction that even walking on ice was like walking on level ground.
"Take Down!"
Although Earthquake would have been more effective at that moment, it would also destroy the ice Mamoswine had laid down.
"Lai!" Lairon nearly lost its footing with even the slightest movement. Cheng Tian studied the situation on the field, searching for a solution.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
The opponent was avoiding Earthquake for fear of destroying the ice.
What the hell did he have to fear?
"Earthquake!"
Lairon used Earthquake where it stood, shattering the surrounding ground along with the ice. It unleashed a Stone Edge, and stone spikes erupted from the ground, driving hard into Mamoswine's belly.
"Now! Use Dragon Rush, then Iron Head!"
Lairon seized the opportunity to charge, a metallic sheen covering its head.
"Stop it with Earthquake!"
"Stone Edge!"
Mamoswine used Earthquake, hoping to stop Lairon halfway, but Lairon used Stone Edge as it ran. The stone spikes rising from the ground carried Lairon into the air. Earthquake instantly destroyed the spikes, but Lairon used its own momentum to force its way through the air toward Mamoswine. At
