Magic Mirror Ice Crystal?
Yong's heart tightened. A Fusion Technique?
As he wondered, he suddenly felt the temperature plummet! A chill quietly descended.
Snowflakes had begun drifting through the sky again, and as the temperature dropped rapidly, the water's surface swiftly froze.
The feelers on Swampert's head twitched slightly as it stood ready on the rock.
Suddenly, an icy current swept through the air!
Translucent, square crystals surrounded Swampert like mirrors. Within each one, a Milotic in a different pose quietly appeared.
Cynthia said softly,
"Multi-Attack!"
What now?
Yong focused his gaze. In an instant, golden, blue, purple, and icy-blue energy rapidly gathered before the mirrors. Then, in different forms, the various energies shot toward Swampert from every direction!
*???*
What was this supposed to mean?
A Fusion Technique with a combination attack built in!?
Hyper Beam, Hydro Pump, Dragon Breath, and Ice Beam?
How had she done that?
With no time to think further, Yong shouted,
"Swampert! Protect!"
Who could withstand an attack like this!?
Watching the streams of multicolored energy converge from different directions, Yong finally grew nervous!
For the first time, he felt that Swampert truly could not withstand it!
Boom, boom, boom!
The relentless barrage continued pounding the figure at the very center, shrouded in a white energy barrier!
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded within the boy's anxious heart.
Yong... I can do this!
An intense wave of emotion reached him!
Was this... Swampert's inner voice!?
An inexplicable surge of emotion welled up inside him. As he watched Milotic's powerful assault engulf the rock and shatter it into countless pieces, Yong's heart instead grew calm.
Swampert... this was the first partner he had caught himself, and one of his most dependable companions all this time!
Throughout their journey, it had stood before him countless times!
*That's
