Leave the Energy Cubes!

Taku Glacier

Bruce looked ahead and saw several figures running towards him from a short distance, and they crossed him in no time.

"A Weavile, three Sneasels." Bruce looked ahead and whispered.

【Pokemon: Weavile (Dark/Ice)
Ability: Pressure
Qualification: Master
Level: LV49 (Ace)】

This is a Weavile that is infinitely close to Gym level, and the fierce aura emanating from its body is even stronger than the Avalugg I encountered yesterday.

Moreover, this Weavile has several small scars on its face, its claws shine coldly, and its eyes are squinted. It seems very hostile.

And the three Sneasels next to it are all at the Professional level, nothing to mention. At first glance, they are just small Sneasels.

Weavile is good at working in teams and usually operates in groups of 4 or 5. Under the leadership of the leader, they gather in groups to hunt prey and can even face powerful Pokemon like Piloswine easily.

Obviously, this Weavile is threatening.

"Weavile, Weavile, Weavile~"

Weavile looked at Bruce from the opposite side and waved its sharp claws as if communicating.

"What is it saying?" Bruce glanced at Gardevoir, who was beside him, and asked aloud.

"What?"

Gardevoir is connected to Bruce, so she can directly understand the meaning of Weavile.

After a moment, Bruce narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered quietly, "Turns out it wants energy cubes..."

The meaning of Weavile is very simple, it needs the energy cube that Bruce is carrying.

Only by leaving the energy cubes can you safely pass through this area.

"I haven't even taken out the energy cube, how did it know?" Bruce thought to himself.

"It could be because... this Weavile has been here for years and obtained energy cubes from passing climbers, and never forgot about them, so it started stealing energy cubes from passersby." Bruce concluded with a more reasonable explanation.

In reality, it's not easy to catch prey in the snowy mountains, it's not as easy as grabbing an energy cube from a passerby.

If you encounter kind passersby, it's possible to get a free handout.

"What if I don't want to give it to you?" Bruce looked at Weavile from the other side and said slowly.

"Weavile!"

Upon hearing this, Weavile waved its sharp claws, threatening.

"Now that you've entered my territory, you must pay up."

"Blaziken."

Naturally, Bruce wouldn't hesitate to call Blaziken directly.

"Fight."

Blaziken's eyes froze, flexed its wrist, and moved forward, facing Weavile.

"Weavile!"

Seeing this, Weavile understood what Bruce meant and immediately adopted a battle stance.

The three Sneasels observed this scene and silently withdrew to a safe position.

"It seems they don't plan to team up," Bruce thought.

If they teamed up, they could give Blaziken some trouble by relying on teamwork, but since they chose to fight alone... then they'll have to bear the cruel price alone.

Weavile took the lead in the attack. It took a step forward and flew at a speed so fast it was hard to see, almost becoming a residual image.

"Nice speed," Bruce expressed in appreciation.

Weavile's speed stat is very high, which is also its greatest advantage in battle.

In a flash, Weavile had already thrown a surprise punch in front of Blaziken, its eyes sharp, and it swung its sharp white claws at Blaziken!

False!

At that moment, Weavile was proud of itself, and with its astonishing speed added to the move, it had always been invincible in battles, surprising countless trainers.

It thought it had seen Blaziken getting hit, and shuddered.

But the next moment, the pupils of the Sneasels suddenly contracted, their faces froze, and they were filled with disbelief.

At the critical moment, Blaziken violently swung its long fist, and the wind howled, hitting Weavile's abdomen with astonishing power.

Weavile only felt a tearing pain in its abdomen, and then its abdomen suddenly caved in, sending its figure flying backward several meters in an "arc."

Boom!

After a while, Weavile heavily crashed onto the ice, and fragments of ice broke apart.

The three Sneasels who were with it saw their boss getting hit and flew into the air, staying still in confusion, before they regained their senses and let out a cry.

Bruce was stunned for a moment, thinking that obviously, it was their boss who was attacked, why did it look so miserable?

"Weavile..."

The Weavile that fell to the ground slowly got up, shook its head, then looked at the scar on its abdomen and smiled for a moment.

Immediately after, it ignored the slight pain coming from its abdomen and raised its eyes to look at Blaziken with a solemn expression.

Weavile wasn't killed by Blaziken's single strike, it was just a normal hit.

If it had received a direct blow from a [Focus Punch, Weavile would have been instantly killed and would have bled.

"Close combat," Bruce suddenly said with a calm look.

"Blaziken!"

Blaziken's eyes froze, and its wrists and feet erupted in flames, burning the ice beneath it as it quickly dashed toward Weavile in the blink of an eye.

Weavile didn't decide to face it head-on but retreated. It was small, flexible, and extremely fast. Even Blaziken couldn't catch up with it for a while.

"Are you pulling back using the terrain?" Bruce murmured quietly as he watched the scene.

Weavile's biggest advantage is its familiarity with the terrain and its extremely high speed, but over time, the latter advantage will fade.

The two Pokemon were jumping from one side to the other on the ice, their figures flashing as they chased each other.

Bruce watched closely and saw several bottomless cracks in the ice where they were standing. If they fell by accident, it would be extremely dangerous (cfag).

But Blaziken moved carefully and never got too close to those gaps. It always placed its feet on relatively solid ice surfaces.

But in this way, Weavile was really able to lure Blaziken for a while.

Weavile: "I'm really pulling back! If you don't believe me, look at the battle video!"

"This Weavile is quite smart and knows how to take full advantage of the terrain," Bruce sighed lightly.

But... as time passed, Blaziken's speed increased.

Unknowingly, Weavile obviously felt that Blaziken's speed in front of it was much faster than at the beginning, making it extremely difficult to pull away.

"Weavile!"

Weavile felt bad, thought for a second, moved its body again, and ran to the left.

There, there were more cracks, and it was more dangerous to fight there.

The three Sneasels also quickly ran over, standing next to a bottomless crack, cheering on their leader.

"Fight!"

Blaziken looked at the cracks surrounding it and decided to make a quick decision and not to get entangled too much with Weavile.

"Quick Attack," Bruce's voice echoed in its mind.

"Blaziken!"

Blaziken's eyes froze and it rushed forward at lightning speed, like a blurry red lightning bolt, closing the distance between them very quickly.

In the face of Weavile's horrified gaze, Blaziken observed silently with its blue eyes, and its fists burst into a sharp white light, striking Weavile's chest!

Boom!

With a single blow, although [Quick Attack] is less powerful, it still caused considerable damage.

"Weavile!"

Weavile suffered a violent hit to the chest, its eyes widened as it flew backward several meters.

With the sound of 'dong', Weavile heavily crashed next to a crack, and its internal organs seemed to stir together, causing severe pain.

"Weavile..."

1...

Weavile let out a low growl, enduring the severe pain from time to time as it struggled to stand up.

But the next moment, it accidentally touched the wounded area, and felt an unbearable pain, causing it to grit its teeth and kneel halfway on the ground.

"~"

Blaziken jumped forward and landed softly on the ground, keeping a safe distance from Weavile, ready to deliver the final blow.

"The willpower of this Weavile is quite strong." Bruce looked at Weavile from a distance, feeling slightly moved.

Weavile lives in very cold places, and this one obviously has a high status within the group. It has experienced many battles and has rich real combat experience.

"Weavile!"

Suddenly, Weavile let out a roar, condensed a huge icicle in the air with all its strength, and hurled it towards Blaziken on the ground.

The icicle had a truly astonishing force, this was Weavile's final strike!

"Blaziken!"

Blaziken looked up and, for a moment, Focus Energy concentrated its attention and released its true energy.

Boom!

The powerful punch of wind roared, striking the icicle in the middle, and the terrifying energy exploded, sending shockwaves that spread layer by layer in all directions!

The strong wind suddenly rose, and the surface of the ice was affected by the enormous shockwave, trembling slightly, with the sound of cracking resonating in Bruce's ears.

Bruce's expression slightly changed and he murmured softly, "I hope the ice won't crack."

As if to answer Bruce's question, the violently impacted ice suddenly opened several cracks, but that was all, and they didn't expand further.

Bruce secretly sighed in relief. In fact, when he stepped onto the glacier, he had asked Blaziken to test the firmness of the ice.

In the end, it was concluded that beneath the surface of the ice is a thick layer of ice up to tens of meters deep, or even more, which wouldn't collapse easily.

As long as the width of the original crack isn't expanded, there won't be any problems with normal Pokemon battles.

Just when Bruce's thoughts were racing, one of the Sneasels let out a sharp growl.

Bruce turned his head to look and saw that the ice beneath the feet of the three Sneasels suddenly collapsed, accompanied by a loud roar, and one of the Sneasels couldn't escape, its figure disappearing into an explosion of dust.

It seemed to have fallen.

Bruce was momentarily surprised. The scene that had just occurred overturned his previous conclusion.
