A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

"Whoosh~" A cold wind blew by...

The cold wind swept away the dust, revealing Kyurem's ferocious figure.

Although its chest armor was covered with spiderweb cracks left by the high-speed spinning of the Blastoise, scorch marks from the dragon's breath, and dark spots from the erosion of ghost energy, the only thing burning in its scarlet dragon eyes was the rage of being provoked by ants, not the weakness of being severely injured.

Amin's fluid and skillful attacks were indeed spectacular, with perfect timing and coordination, but he overlooked a chilling fact—the absolute gap in skill levels.

Blastoise and Emerald Typhlosion have barely reached the threshold of Elite Four level, while Shiny Motosquito, although it has good potential, is currently only at the near-Elite Four level.

Such power, even when exerted to its fullest extent, is nothing more than a superficial pain to Kyurem, who truly stands at the pinnacle of divine beasts.

"Roar-!!!"

A deafening dragon roar erupted, carrying a chill deeper than the polar regions!

The icy sea froze instantly again, the air seeming to solidify into razor-thin blades. Blastoise, which had just used its Z-Move and was floating in the air due to the recoil, was slammed back onto the ice like a kite with a broken string by this terrifying pressure!

"Watch out! Blastoise!" Amin cried out in alarm, his eyes wide with fury.

Too late!

The moment Blastoise crashed onto the ice, the ice beneath it burst open without warning!

A thick ice crystal, as thick as a giant pillar and as sharp as a divine spear, carrying a deep blue, chilling light that could freeze everything, pierced through from bottom to top with a speed beyond the reach of sight!

*Pfft—Snap!*

A tooth-grinding tearing sound and a crisp crackling sound of a hard shell shattering exploded at the same time!

Those terrifying ice spikes, precise and ruthless, pierced Blastoise's proud, thick shell without any resistance!

From the chest to the back, the entire body was completely pierced! Fragments of the shattered shell mixed with frozen pieces of internal organs scattered everywhere.

Blastoise couldn't even utter a mournful cry before its eyes instantly went out of focus.

The deep blue ice energy, like a greedy venomous snake, surged wildly into the piercing wound, instantly freezing its remaining life force.

Frost covered the entire body at a visible speed, transforming it into a huge ice sculpture with a distorted posture and limbs hanging limply, completely extinguishing the breath of life.

"Blastoise—!!!"

Amin's screams were heart-wrenching as he watched helplessly as his companion, who had grown up with him, perished in such a tragic way. Overwhelming grief and rage nearly consumed him.

Kyurem's response was an even fiercer blast of cold wind! It didn't even bother to glance at the ice sculpture, its crimson pupils locking onto Amin and his remaining companions, and its chilling breath, capable of freezing souls, gathered once more!

It will crush this ant along with its sorrow!

"Wake up! Greninja! Lift the tatami mats!" Bamboo's cold and urgent voice boomed like thunder in Amin's ears.

"Gurgle—!"

The green figure appeared like a ghost in an instant before the grief-stricken Amin, the slightly sluggish Emerald Fire Beast that had just released the energy of the Chaotic Dance of Demons, and the Flash Motor Lizard that was somewhat flustered due to its master's shock.

Greninja's broad palm, gleaming with Fighting-type energy, plunged fiercely into the solid ice!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the Greninja frog actually lifted up the ice layer that was several meters thick beneath its feet as if it were a tatami mat!

The enormous block of ice was lifted by tremendous force, forming an incredibly thick ice shield that stood between Kyurem and the others!

“Whoosh—boom!”

A terrifying gust of cold wind slammed into the ice shield, instantly cracking the ice and sending ice shards flying, but it ultimately blocked the fatal blow!

Lifting the tatami mat is a variation move in the Fighting style, where the lifted tatami mat is used as a shield.

During the turn, it puts your field into a tatami-like state, protecting all your Pokémon from most of the opponent's physical or special moves.

Although it was a removed Generation VIII move in the game, some Pokémon can still use it in the real world.

At the same time, Greninja's aura suddenly changed! Its Shapeshifting ability was activated!

After using the Fighting-type move "Tatami," its type instantly changed from Water/Dark to pure Fighting!

This not only greatly enhances its resistance to ice attacks, but also maximizes the defensive effect of "lifting the tatami mat"!

His muscles became more defined and full under the flow of fighting energy, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.

"Calm down! Only by organizing an effective battle can you avenge your comrades!" Bamboo shouted again, his gaze piercing Amin like lightning.

These words were like ice water poured over his head, instantly pulling Amin back from the brink of collapse.

He bit his lower lip hard, blood seeping out, his eyes blazing with a deep-seated hatred and resolve. Blastoise cannot have died in vain!

"Frozen Spine Dragon! Dragon Claw!"

"Nut Dumbbell! Cannon Beam!"

Bamboo's instructions followed immediately!

"Roar—!" The Frozen Spine Dragon let out a young but fierce roar, and the ice shards on its back burst forth with bone-chilling cold!

Indigo dragon energy frantically gathered on its small claws, instantly condensing into two energy dragon claws larger than its body!

Its four legs pounded rapidly on the ice, its small figure transforming into a streak of blue light as it fearlessly charged toward the mountain-like ice dragon!

The target was the unhealed wound on Kyurem's chest!

Meanwhile, the three steel vines of the Nut Dumbbell pierced deep into the ice, stabilizing its sturdy, pot-shaped body.

At the center of the spout, blinding silver-white light converged wildly, the highly compressed steel-based energy like a volcano about to erupt!

Whoosh—! A thick, silver-white energy beam, powerful enough to pierce steel, tore through the air and shot precisely toward Kyurem's head with a sharp whooshing sound!

Steel Ice, this is the most effective cover!

The tiny figure of the Frozen Spine Dragon, only about 1.2 meters tall, looked like a bird swooping down on a mountain peak in front of the enormous Kyurem, which was at least ten meters tall.

Using its speed advantage, it moved at high speed around Kyurem's massive body, its energy claws, gleaming with a cold light, leaving deep marks on Kyurem's legs and sides, sending ice shards flying!

Although it couldn't inflict fatal damage, it was extremely effective at harassing Kyurem. Combined with the nut dumbbell's highly threatening beam cannon, it left Kyurem somewhat overwhelmed.

However, the gap in skill level cannot be completely bridged by skill alone.

Just as the Frozen Spine Dragon once again skillfully circled around to Kyurem's side and rear, its claws viciously slashing towards the back of Kyurem's knees, a hint of impatient ferocity flashed in Kyurem's eyes.

Its seemingly clumsy and massive body reacted at an astonishing speed! Its giant foot, covered with thick ice shards and resembling a battering ram, suddenly rose at a speed that the Frozen Spine Dragon could not comprehend at all, and then—stomped down hard!

"Thump—Crack!"

It wasn't a stomp, but an incredibly precise shockwave! A terrifying shockwave emanated from Kyurem's foot and spread out in a ring shape in an instant!

The ice beneath the feet of the frozen dinosaur shattered and collapsed!

Its small body instantly lost its balance and was violently thrown away by the shockwave, like a leaf struck by a giant wave, crashing heavily onto the ice surface in the distance, where it was half buried by ice shards!

"Frozen Spine Dragon!" Bamboo's heart sank.

But in the next second, something unexpected happened!

A dazzling light of evolution suddenly erupted from the Frozen Spine Dragon, which was trapped in the ice pit!

The light was so intense that it instantly dispelled the surrounding chill, even causing Kyurem to squint his crimson dragon eyes!

In the light, the Frozen Spine Dragon's body rapidly grew taller and expanded! The ice ridges on its back became even larger and more ferocious, like towering mountains of knives!

At the end of its thick tail, a massive ice hammer materialized! It has evolved!

From the Frozen Spine Dragon with unlimited potential, it has transformed into the Ice Dragon with the true power of a pseudo-god—the Triceratops!

As a pseudo-legendary ice dragon introduced in Generation IX, the Styrax boasts immense value and high usage rate in the game due to its powerful physical attack, unique signature move "Greatsword Assault," and excellent durability.

Along with Kyurem, it is one of only two powerful creatures in the Pokémon world to possess both Ice and Dragon types!

At this moment, the newly born halberd felt an unprecedented surge of power within its body, and its fighting spirit reached its peak. It cast its cold gaze at the majestic frost dragon—this was its destined whetstone!

"Finally... it evolved! Frozen Spine... no! Styracoid!"

"Roar—!!!" The fully evolved Styracosaurus let out a deafening roar, responding to the bamboo and telling it that all their efforts had not been in vain.

"Alright! Styropod! Greatsword Charge!"

Greatsword Assault, a Dragon-type physical attack move with a power of 120, is a move exclusive to the Styracosaurus. Combined with its base Attack stat of 145, it can only deal massive damage.

The powerful dragon-type pseudo-legendary energy of the Styracosaurus erupted, and dragon-type energy gathered wildly on the spikes on its back.

"Bang~"

The Ice Hammer slammed into the ice, and the immense recoil propelled it like a cannonball, sending it hurtling towards Kyurem once more! Its momentum was unstoppable!

However, what responded to it was Kyurem's eyes—a look of utter impatience, a coldness as if he were looking at a dead object.

Just as the dinosaur, carrying the power of new life, suddenly flipped in the air and used its back to unleash its strongest skill—Greatsword Assault—towards Qiurem!

Just as the force of the tearing, icy wind was about to touch Kyurem's body—

Kyurem didn't even move its massive body. It simply raised its icy claws and clenched them in the air, aiming them at the direction the halberd was charging!

"Om-!"

Countless deep blue ice spikes, even larger and sharper than those that pierced Blastoise before, instantly condensed and erupted from the void surrounding the Triceratops without warning!

Like a divine spear of retribution, carrying the chill of freezing time and space, it pierced down fiercely from all directions at a speed surpassing that of a halberd dragon's charge!

puff! puff! puff! puff!

The dull thuds of sharp blades piercing flesh echoed one after another!

The charge came to an abrupt halt!

The newly born pseudo-legendary, the Styracosaurus, couldn't even touch a single scale of Kyurem.

These terrifying ice spikes, which appeared out of nowhere and were condensed from pure ice energy, pierced through his limbs and torso like nails to a specimen!

The scalding dragon blood froze into dark red ice crystals before it could even splatter.

It was firmly nailed to the ice, only able to let out a mournful cry of extreme pain, its massive body convulsing helplessly, its life force rapidly fading away like a candle flickering in the wind.

In just one round! The newly evolved pseudo-legendary, with its overwhelming momentum, met a hopeless end in the face of the absolute power of the divine beast.

"A trebuchetosaurus!" Bamboo's heart sank to the bottom, overwhelmed by a tremendous sense of powerlessness.

From this point on, all high-level combat forces on China's South China Sea defense line have been killed or rendered incapable of fighting, making it impossible to organize an effective defense and attack against Kyurem.
