In the blink of an eye, Milotic followed the water on the ground into Shizuko's half of the field.
That also meant all Shizuko's earlier efforts had gone to waste.
Most importantly, with that water there, even if she tried again, the result would still be the same!
Damn it!!
How did he come up with this idea?!
With no other choice, Shizuko could only turn her attention to dealing with the standing water first.
At her command, Piloswine took a deep breath, then blew Icy Wind toward the water. Under that freezing wind, the shallow pools instantly froze into thin ice!
"An effective response! Now, no matter how much water there is, she can freeze it in an instant!" Seeing this, the announcer first praised Shizuko's response, then began worrying for Xia You. "But this isn't good news for Milotic. What will Xia You do now?"
Trying to restrict Milotic's movement this way?
Seeing Shizuko across the field seemingly breathe a sigh of relief, Xia You smiled faintly.
Think you've found an answer?
You're being far too naive!
"Milotic, use Rain Dance!"
Hearing Xia You's command, Milotic raised its head and cried out toward the sky. The very next second, the previously cloudless sky suddenly filled with dark clouds. After a few muted rumbles of thunder, raindrops began falling steadily, covering the entire Ice Field!
Rain Dance had activated successfully!
Xia You looked up again at Shizuko across the field.
Come on, let me see how you'll respond now!
At that moment, Shizuko looked up at the endless rain, her brows tightly knitted as she sighed helplessly to herself.
This really is...
Unless I can make the sky clear again, or wait for Rain Dance to end on its own, there's really nothing I can do about this weather.
