Noivern's wings and back were completely covered in thick ice crystals!
The freezing cold seeped into its body, robbing it of all ability to move. Its eyes turned into spirals, and it lay motionless among the rubble.
Across the field, the water surrounding Swampert gradually subsided, revealing its weakened form... Boomburst had still dealt it terrifying damage!
The instant it crashed into the ground, Swampert, which had nearly lost consciousness, actually used Dig beneath the shattered surface to burrow under the battlefield, avoiding Boomburst's sustained damage and frontal assault!
Although it had still taken heavy damage from the sonic impacts, its Torrent Ability had fortunately activated at the critical moment! That gave it the decisive strength it needed to launch one final strike!
Now, with Torrent wearing off on top of its previous injuries, Swampert could no longer hold on. Its eyes closed, and it collapsed onto the battlefield after Noivern!
Fortunately, it had still won...
Against a Noivern four levels higher than itself!
Guandao raised his hand, pointed toward Yong, and announced the result.
"Noivern lost the ability to battle first! Swampert wins!"
"Ding! Swampert won an official battle! Gained 200 training points! Gained massive experience!" "Ding! Proficiency increased for Waterfall, Icy Wind, Ice Punch, Supersonic, and Dig!" "Ding! Swampert leveled up to Lv63! Learned Blizzard (Proficient)!"
It leveled up?!
Yong smiled faintly.
And it learned a major Ice-type move-Blizzard! Its accuracy might be pitifully low, but as long as it can learn Hail, Blizzard will have 100% accuracy!
It's a wide-area attack, too!
It can even be paired with Sandstorm to create "extreme cold sandstorm" weather!
Taking out a Pokémon Ball to recall Swampert, Yong nodded in satisfaction.
"Great work, Swampert! Thank you for giving it your all!"
Across from him, Palmer also recalled Noivern. His
