Candice was also a student at this Pokémon Trainer School. As soon as she entered, upon learning that there would be a battle to watch, many of the children at the school excitedly ran out. Being able to watch a battle between trainers was simply too attractive to this group of children who did not yet have beginner Pokémon.

  Full of confidence, Candice led Torii to the battle field and found a middle-aged man from the school to act as a referee.

  "The rules will be 1v1," Torii said.

  He only had two Pokémon, Beautifly and Swablu. The only options he had were 1v1 and 2v2. To save time, Torii chose the former.

  "Okay, no problem!"

  Expressing that everything was acceptable, Candice continued, "The Pokémon I'm sending out is Snover!"

  Standing on either side of the field, Candice was the first to throw out her Poké Ball.

  With a fsh of white light, a Pokémon that looked like a tree stump wearing a bamboo-woven rain hat appeared. However, its rain hat was pure white, and the arms of this Pokémon were also dark green. Standing on the field, it looked very calm.

  "Snover, huh." Torii sized up the opponent.

  Snover is a Grass- and Ice-type Pokémon that usually lives in the snow mountains and rarely encounters humans, so if they do, they will often curiously come up to them.

  "Then the one I'm sending out is Beautifly."

  Beautifly knows too few moves. Torii hadn't specifically guided it on this point. For Beautifly, its battlefield was the stage of the Grand Festival, and the degree of move usage was the primary choice.

  Even in ordinary battles, this can be shown!

  "This Pokémon is..." Candice looked over curiously. "Beautifly, are you a trainer from the Hoenn region?"

  "Beautifly is a Bug- and Flying-type, right, but I won't hold back!"

  "Of course." Torii smiled. "Speaking of which, this is my first time battling a trainer."

  "However, I advise you to do your best. I think we are very strong."

  Torii didn't expect others to hold back because of this, and if it came to battle experience, he didn't ck it at all.

  "What, the first time..." Candice looked at Torii in surprise. After thinking about it carefully, at this age, he was indeed still a rookie trainer.

  "The battle rules are 1v1. The battle ends when one Pokémon loses its ability to fight. Now I announce that the battle begins!"

  ......

  ......

  "You can attack first—" Candice shouted.

  "Then I won't be polite. Beautifly, Gust."

  Following Torii's command, Beautifly "Goo~"ed and waved its beautiful wings. The already cold weather, under the gust of wind that was stirred up, made the people around feel an even colder aura.

  The most direct feeling was Snover, which was the main target of the Gust move.

  The Gust move caused Candice's short skirt to dance in the wind, but she didn't care. "This level of cold wind won't cause any damage to Snover. It has always lived on Mt. Coronet!"

  "Oh, is that so~" Torii smiled.

  The gust of wind passed, and Snover was still standing there, and it didn't seem to have had much of an impact on it.

  "Then it's our turn to attack. Snover, Ice Wind."

  Compared to Beautifly's Gust, the cold air that Snover blew out was mixed with ice crystals. It really looked like a blizzard, more gorgeous and powerful.

  "Goo~"

  Being caught in the Ice Wind, Beautifly showed a painful expression and its movements slowed down a lot. Beautifly was still very unaccustomed to the cold environment.

  "Overcome it!" Torii said.

  "Did you clearly feel the surrounding air currents? Glide along the Ice Wind!"

  Tailwind!

  Sensing the air currents in the strong wind, relying on the wind direction, using the power of the wind, and increasing its own speed.

  Beautifly waved its wings with difficulty and created a whirlwind in the storm. Finally, under Candice's unbelievable gaze, Beautifly actually flew easily in the Ice Wind!

  Above the sky full of ice crystals, Beautifly controlled its gorgeous figure, and the dancing movements were like the most moving melody. The twinkling and shining frost added a dreamlike beauty to its dance.

  "Interesting, interesting, but how long can Beautifly st in the cold wind?" Candice became excited. She found that this opponent was very special, completely different from the trainers she had battled before.

  "The consumption of physical strength must be very high, so let's press on. Snover, use Icy Rock to disturb Beautifly's actions."

  Hearing this, Snover instantly created a rge number of ice blocks and quickly threw them at Beautifly. The ice blocks were thrown very densely, successfully blocking most of Beautifly's flight paths.

  Candice showed a smug look. In her opinion, Beautifly was already trapped!

  However, when she looked at Torii, she found that there was no trace of panic on his face, which made Candice calm down and observe the situation on the field.

  Then, she saw an extremely shocking scene.

  Not only was Beautifly not disturbed by the flying Icy Rock, but it flew more freely and flexibly in the sky. This was the only evaluation Candice could think of for Beautifly now.

  Facing the dual attacks of Ice Wind and Icy Rock, Beautifly perfectly used the wind speed, air pressure, and accurately relied on every key point to easily and smoothly dodge all attacks!

  "How is that possible!"

  Candice was stunned. She clearly saw Beautifly showing a painful expression in the Ice Wind. Under the threat of the Icy Rock, it could still concentrate its mind and control its flight well?

  "Beautifly, String Shot!"

  Just as Candice hesitated, with a swish, a rge net woven with golden current spread out, covering Snover from the sky.

  "Not good... Snover, use Razor Leaf to break it."

  Facing the oncoming String Shot, Snover hurriedly threw out a few leaves. The sharp leaves flew towards the String Shot, and the two moves directly collided together.

  When the leaves touched the String Shot, they were first blocked by the electric current, and then cut to the Bug String. However, Snover's Razor Leaf had too few leaves, and because of the interference of the current with the leaves, it only destroyed part of the structure of the structurally complete String Shot.

  "Razor Leaf again!"

  Candice was obviously unwilling and issued an order. Snover made another move to cast the move, focusing on destroying the String Shot. At the same time that Razor Leaf was completed, Torii's voice came again.

  "Checkmate."

  Razor Leaf broke through the remaining String Shot, but as Torii's voice fell, Snover's feet were entangled in Bug String, and it was directly pulled to the ground.

  "What... that angle..." Candice's eyes widened as she looked into the sky. The Beautifly, which was originally far away from Snover, spewed out a Bug String that was as straight as a steel wire, directly wrapped around Snover's ankle!
