Chapter 317: Another Way to Capture the Snow Child!

Afterwards, Ash and his party rushed to the snowy plains, and happened to encounter a Snow Child that loved playing pranks.

Just after checking in, Brock repeatedly launched a confession offensive toward Miss Joy.

Nearby, a Snow Child jumped out, full of curiosity toward Ash and his party, with a hint of mischief, and unleashed a freezing wind at them.

The bone-chilling cold wind, wrapped with ice crystals, howled toward Ash and his party.

Ash deployed an aura barrier; the blue light shimmered, forming a solid protective wall that firmly blocked the Snow Child's freezing wind outside.

Seeing its attack easily dispelled, the Snow Child blinked in surprise. A flicker of astonishment and unwillingness crossed its round little eyes; it then puffed its cheeks, increased the power of its freezing wind, and blew hard at Ash and the others.

Ash steadily maintained the aura barrier, easily blocking the Snow Child's attacks.

The Snow Child kept blowing; Ash kept blocking.

It blew, it blew again—Ash blocked them all!

"Don't... don't... don't blow!"

Brock shivered in the back; after using the freezing wind so many times, his teeth were chattering.

If the Snow Child kept blowing, they'd turn into ice blocks!

Xiaosheng was frozen to the point he could only nod!

【Brock: You two are playing, and we're the ones suffering!】

【Xiaosheng: Now the Snow Child can't even steal the badge; it'll probably just panic and try to freeze Black Satoshi with its freezing wind!】

【Ash: The Snow Child is still pretty cute; I feel it's okay!】

Not everyone has a super genuine newcomer physique like you......

Being able to endure the freezing wind in snowy weather is not something an ordinary person can do.

Everyone admired Ash's super genuine newcomer physique.

【Xiaomao: No wonder the Snow Child wants to follow you; if you weren't there, it's unlikely it would follow any other trainer.】

【Misty: Hmm... the Snow Child has confirmed with Ash, it's the person it's taken a liking to!】

Black World——

Indeed, as Xiaosheng said, the Snow Child locked horns with Ash, using the freezing wind so many times without success, and it became anxious.

Having used the freezing wind too many times, the Snow Child was catching its breath, preparing to continue standoff with Ash, refusing to believe it couldn't freeze him!

Miss Joy told Ash and his party about the Snow Child; it turned out the Snow Child loved pranks, but this encounter with Ash failed, so it might target him because of that.

"Ah, that's how it is!" Ash suddenly realized, his already bright eyes flashing even brighter; he looked eagerly at the Snow Child and said, "Snow Child, how about this: we have a battle; if I win, you come with me."

The Snow Child tilted its head, its ears twitched; after hearing Ash's words clearly, its round eyes spun, thinking this seemed fine, so it readily agreed.

Its heart suddenly gave a "thump," feeling something off; what if I win?

"If you win, I'll play with you!"

Ash understood the Snow Child's meaning.

The Snow Child listened, nodded its little head, knowing Ash understood its meaning.

Afterwards, the Snow Child's two short legs darted forward, leaving a trail of faint footprints in the snow, and it quickly ran out of the snowy area.

Though its legs are short, it steps fast!

"Bengal Ras, come out!"

Ash thought it over, still deciding not to let Pikachu go, wanting to see how strong Bengal Ras is after evolution!

"Roar!"

Bengal Ras appeared before the Snow Child, roaring skyward.

After roaring, Bengal Ras lowered its head, looked flat, and—oh dear—it didn't see the opponent; it blinked in confusion, then looked down and spotted the Snow Child standing on the snow.

This... the Snow Child looks a bit pitiful... Brock gazed at the two figures on the battlefield.

The Snow Child stood before Bengal Ras, appearing so tiny.

One big, one small—one ridiculously tiny, the other ridiculously huge—this battle feels like there's no suspense!

Miss Joy also came out to watch; the difference is so great.

Xiaosheng laughed, "You played pranks, now you're dumbfounded, huh!"

Misty just thought the big-and-small figures were amusing, basically the cutest height difference.

The Snow Child looked at the towering Bengal Ras before it, its little eyes full of bewilderment.

It originally wanted to find Ash, but Bengal Ras's massive body blocked its view like a wall, so it had to walk around Bengal Ras.

"What's wrong?"

Ash asked, "Want to switch opponents?"

The Snow Child blinked, its heart instantly torn. It thought, if I switch opponents, wouldn't I just be laughed at?

No switch... it ran back, refusing to be a coward!

"Ready!"

Ash shouted, giving the Snow Child a hint.

"Bengal Ras, use Earthquake!"

The Snow Child still used freezing wind.

Streams of bone-chilling icy wind howled from its mouth.

The freezing wind enveloped Bengal Ras's whole body, and a thin layer of frost gradually formed on the surface of its rock armor.

Bengal Ras could still endure it, ignoring the Snow Child's freezing wind, and stamped the ground hard.

Powerful vibrations came wave after wave, continually striking the Snow Child.

The Snow Child finally couldn't hold up, fell with a "thud," its eyes spinning, losing combat ability.

Thus, the Snow Child was taken down by a single Earthquake!

Ash threw a ball and captured it!

【Ash: Wow, that's amazing, I captured the Snow Child so easily.】

The badge wasn't taken, and moreover it won't be injured, that's so steady.

【Liu Bo: This way is safe, the bond won't diminish, and there's no danger.】
