Chapter 337: Defeating Suo Luo Ya

Xiao Zhao immediately seized the advantage and pursued the victory, his gaze growing ever more resolute, and shouted to Shuang Ren Wan, "Shuang Ren Wan, Water Wave!"

Shuang Ren Wan instantly understood, firmly grasped the Fan Shell beside its leg, leaned slightly forward, gathered pale blue water energy in its mouth, and then gently exhaled a shimmering water ripple toward Suo Luo Ya.

The water ripple, carrying a faint mist, spread slowly in the air, wrapped in a sharp gust, surged toward Suo Luo Ya; where it passed, the snow on the ground melted slightly, leaving a shallow water trace.

"Suo Luo Ya, dodge and then use Provocation!" Huo La reacted swiftly, his tone still steady, and instantly issued the counter‑attack order.

Suo Luo Ya's lithe form, upon hearing the command, instantly darted to the side, its four paws sprinting rapidly, evading the Water Wave's impact as nimbly as a snow shadow.

The water ripple slammed into the snow, spraying a spray of snow foam and water, leaving a small puddle on the open ground.

After evading the attack, Suo Luo Ya halted, turned, eyes blazing, glared fiercely at Shuang Ren Wan, a faint aura of provocation radiating around, precisely striking Shuang Ren Wan's anger.

Shuang Ren Wan's expression instantly turned feral, its previously steady gaze now fully tinged with malice, its whole aura becoming irritable.

It completely ignored Xiao Zhao's presence, without waiting for any new command, hurriedly gathered energy again, and launched another Water Wave toward Suo Luo Ya; this time the ripple was more chaotic and far less precise than before.

"Ah… this…" Xiao Zhao froze on the spot, eyes wide, incredulously covering his mouth, his gaze filled with shock and panic.

Huo La keenly seized the perfect counter‑strike moment, immediately ordered in a low voice, "Suo Luo Ya, charge forward, use Scramble!"

Suo Luo Ya let out a chirp, its form flashed again, easily evading the hastily released Water Wave, then, using its agile body, surged straight toward Shuang Ren Wan like an arrow released from a bow.

Its two front paws still glimmered with a keen edge; when it reached Shuang Ren Wan, it swiftly swung its claws, delivering a rapid Scramble to Shuang Ren Wan's face, the motion crisp and ferocious.

"Ta…." Shuang Ren Wan winced in pain, emitting a whimper of grievance and anger, shallow claw marks appearing on its face; the hands that had tightly held the Fan Shell involuntarily loosened, and the two Fan Shells "clacked" onto the snow, its aura waning a few degrees.

"Shuang Ren Wan!" Xiao Zhao snapped back to his senses, shouting urgently, instinctively lunging forward, but Shan Kui stopped him with a hand: "Hold on, Xiao Zhao, the battle isn't over yet!"

"Oh, oh." Xiao Zhao quickly halted, his tone full of anxiety, calling softly to Shuang Ren Wan, "Shuang Ren Wan, are you okay?"

Shuang Ren Wan shook its head, brushing the disarray from its face; with a sudden kick of its lower leg, the two Fan Shells on the ground seemed to gain life and flew straight back into its hands.

It clenched the Fan Shells and called firmly to Xiao Zhao, "Ta!"

Xiao Zhao watched Shuang Ren Wan's resolute stance, inhaled deeply, clenched his fist, his gaze steadied again: "Alright, Shuang Ren Wan, this time we'll use Freezing Wind!"

"Hoo—!" Shuang Ren Wan instantly tightened its grip on the Fan Shells, tilted its head slightly, and exhaled a visibly icy wind toward Suo Luo Ya.

On the already frigid Snowfield, the icy wind grew even sharper; the air instantly crystallized into countless tiny ice crystals, which swiftly coalesced into sharp icicles, bearing bone‑piercing cold, and surged toward Suo Luo Ya.

Suo Luo Ya had just finished the Scramble, its form still unsteady, and had no time to dodge; the icicle slammed hard onto its body.

The piercing cold instantly enveloped it; Suo Luo Ya let out a faint chirp, a light white frost spreading over its body, and was knocked down, struggling a few times before failing to rise.

"Suo Luo Ya!" Huo La stepped forward quickly, his tone tinged with concern, but he did not immediately retrieve it; instead he looked at Xiao Zhao, his eyes full of approval.

Shan Kui clapped and cheered, "Well done, Xiao Zhao! Freezing Wind is amazing, it knocked Suo Luo Ya down in an instant!"

"Suo Luo Ya, you've worked hard, come back and rest."

Huo La stored the Pokeball, lifted his gaze to Xiao Zhao, his tone serious: "From now on, the only Pokemon I have left is the Fireburst Beast, so you'll need to be careful!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao's gaze grew even more resolute, he clenched the Pokeball in his hand and nodded forcefully: "Got it, let's go! I won't lose!"

"Good, that's spirit!" Huo La's eyes shone with even more approval, he raised his hand and hurled another Pokeball forcefully, shouting loudly, "Go, Fireburst Beast!"

A burst of red light exploded, an orange‑red figure crashed onto the ground, its body instantly ignited with raging flames, scorching heat blasting outward, instantly melting the surrounding wind‑snow; even the ice layer on the ground warmed slightly, spewing fine droplets.

The Fireburst Beast lifted its head, standing tall, its lithe form enveloped in flames, its aura majestic; from afar it resembled a moving blaze, instantly overwhelming the cold in the arena.

"Fireburst Beast…" Xiao Zhao watched the imposing Fireburst Beast on the field, a hint of envy in his eyes, murmuring softly, "My Shui Shui Ta, which I obtained at the same time as Huo La's Huo Qiu Shu from Dr. Laben, has now evolved into Shuang Ren Wan, while Huo La's Huo Qiu Shu has already evolved into the Fireburst Beast."

Huo La heard her murmur, but said nothing else, merely reminding in a steady tone, "Be careful, Xiao Zhao."

As soon as the words fell, he issued a command to the Fireburst Beast, "Fireburst Beast, Shadow Ball barrage!"

The Fireburst Beast instantly understood, its two paws flicked rapidly, clusters of pitch‑black Shadow Balls coalesced at its claws, bearing a chilling aura, raining down densely toward Shuang Ren Wan; the Shadow Balls streaked through the air, leaving dark trails.

Xiao Zhao snapped back to his senses, daring not a moment's carelessness, and immediately shouted to Shuang Ren Wan, "Shuang Ren Wan, use Shell Blade to cleave them!"

Shuang Ren Wan tightened its grip on the Fan Shells, eyes sharp, body slightly arched, the two shells swung swiftly, their surfaces gleaming with a translucent sheen, bearing a fierce gust, slashing powerfully at the incoming Shadow Balls; the motion was as fast as lightning, each swing striking a Shadow Ball with pinpoint accuracy.
