From 30 degrees Celsius to minus 10 degrees, the sudden drop in temperature would cause most people to suffer from hypothermia, and if they weren't careful, it could eveo death.

  Head teacher Fra a close eye on Julian, watg without blinking. If anythi wrong, he was ready to step in and rescue him immediately.

  However, both Frank and Luis were shocked. Julian, standing in just a short-sleeved shirt, seemed pletely ued by the biting cold that came from the Blizzard.

  Meanwhile, Luis, despite wearing a thick cotton coat, was already trembling, his teeth chattering untrolbly.

  The strength granted by Julian's Mega Pallet Town physique gave him extraordinary abilities—greater speed, strength, and quick reas. On top of that, it allowed him to withstand the harsh effects of elemental attacks such as fire, ice, aricity.

  Even though the temperature had plummeted to more than ten degrees below freezing, Julian could feel the cold, but it was nowhere near enough to harm him. It remained withiolerable range.

  That said, if this were a trated attack like an Ice Beam instead of an area-wide move like Blizzard, Julian wouldn't have dared to stand so casually in the midst of it.

  "Unbelievable... is he a martial artist?" Luis muttered to himself in disbelief.

  It was on knowledge that only certain highly skilled martial artists could withstand such extreme temperatures by relying on their powerful internal energy and strong life force.

  "He is indeed a martial artist," Shen said to her friend Kate to Luis's remark, Shen couldn't help but feel proud, "I taught him, after all."

  "Frosss, use Ice Shard!"

  With her Snow Cloak ability, Frosss moved through the storm with incredible speed. Blizzard gave her the perfect cover, making her seem like a phantom—just like the snow spirits from Babath kingdom's legends.

  By now, the etlefield was covered with a thin yer of ice from the storm.

  "Lucario, locate Frosss," Julian anded in a calm voice.

  Despite Frosss's evasive movements and near-invisibility iorm, Lucario's aura fred to life.

  In the midst of the howling wind and swirling snow, an Ice Shard, hidden by the storm, hurtled toward Lucario. But just as it was about to nd, Lucario's eyes snapped open.

  "Luca!"

  With a swift movement, he crushed the shard with his fist.

  Then, in an instant, Lucario vanished.

  "Frosss, use Icy Wind!"

  Luis shouted, sensing danger.

  Icy Wind, boosted by Blizzard, surged across the battlefield. The bination of the towerful, but it wasn't easy to trol. The energy o be banced perfectly; otherwise, both moves would weaken, or worse, backfire.

  Blizzard surged, growing even more fierce, as Icy Wind iwined with it.

  The temperature dropped even further. Ice began to form on Lucario's body, and his movements slowed.

  "Sure enough, except for Metagross, although the other Pokémon are powerful, but they are within the acceptable range" Yanis ented, watg Lucarile uhe freezing ditions.

  Tyler, standing nearby, nodded in agreement. He couldn't help but feel envious of Luis's strategy. He had cleverly avoided Metagross and was now successfully putting pressure on Lucario.

  He exged gnces with Yanis, both of them realizing they had uimated Luis's battle tactics.

  "If only I hadn't been the first to face Julian," Tyler muttered with regret. He khat if Luis had gone up against Metagross instead, things might have turned out differently.

  Yanis smirked slightly, knowing full well the tough time Tyler had. His own experieh Metagross had been humbling, but at least he wasn't taken down instantly. Still, he couldn't help but think that if Luis had faced Metagross instead, his Frosss would have been overwhelmed by now.

  "Lucario's situatio look good," Kate observed, ed by Lucario's increasingly sluggish movements.

  The freezing cold had begun to take its toll on him, ae sensing Frosss's location, nding a hit seemed more and more difficult.

  "Rex, Lucario's tough," Shen said with fidence, fully trusting in Julian and his Pokémon.

  Luis's fidence was growing. He saw the signs of Lucario weakening and believed victory was within reach.

  "Frosss, use Frost Breath!"

  Blizzard + Icy Wind + Frost Breath—the bination of these three moves dropped the temperature even more, plunging it to a bone-chilling minus 50 degrees.

  Luis, well-prepared for this situation, activated the electric heating fun in his coat to keep himself warm.

  However, amidst the thrill of the moment, a sudden realization struck him.

  "Wait… Julian…" Luis muttered, his excitement fading. Julian was still standing out there, only wearing short sleeves.

  He had only wao wiot kill Julian.

  But because of the existence of Icy Wind and Frost Breath, Blizzard had bee bigger, he could no longer see Julian on the opposite side, and had no idea whether Julian was frozen to death or not.

  "Aura Sphere"

  Julian's voice cut through the storm, calm and steady. A moment ter, Frosss let out a pained cry.

  "Frosss!"

  Luis shouted in panic. He cursed himself for being an idiot— Metagross was standing right behind Julian, There was no way Julian was in danger with that powerhouse by his side.

  Though the Aura Sphere hadn't knocked Frosss out, the damage was done. Blizzard began to lose its iy, and sooorm had cleared.

  Julian stood unscathed, a faint green barrier surrounding him—the protective handiwork of Metagross.

  The temperature may have dropped to minus 50, but Julian could still have relied on Mega Pallet Town physique to resist, but there were many people around. He knew better than to reveal his abilities in such a public setting. As long as they were not idiots, everyone would instantly know something was wrong.

  As the storm cleared, Frosss anting heavily, struggling to stay upright. Lucario, though frosted over, was still standing strong.

  "Ice Shard!" Luis shouted, desperate to make a st stand.

  "Aura Sphere."

  "Boom!"

  The two moves cshed, but the result was clear. Frosss, uo keep up any longer, colpsed.

  "Frosss is uo battle. Lucario wins!"

  "Still lost huh.."

  Luis recalled his Frosss, his expression a mixture of frustration and respect. He had lost, but he had given it his all.

  "Luust be your Trump Card, huh? It's ridiculously strong," Luis said, his tone lighter, though still tinged with disappoi. "I threw everything at it, and it barely flinched."

  'Huh, Shameless..'

  Tyler and Yanis exged knowing gnces. Both thought to themselves that Luis wasn't fooling ahey all khat Metagross was Julian's true Trump Card.

  "Sure, a ce for you to meet my other Trump Card."

  Julian found Luis's character quite iing.

  Still, Luis's strength as a Trainer was undeniable. He had skillfully bined Icy Wind and Frost Breath with Blizzard, creating a powerful synergy that could overpower Pokémon ten levels higher than his.

  Meanwhile, Yanis, also aype Trainer, didn't seem nearly as impressive in parison.

  Julian's gaze shifted toward Yanis, and it didn't take long for Yanis to cat. His expression quickly turned awkward.

  'What's that look for? You think I'm not as good as him? You're not even paring the same situations—look at his oppo and then look at mine.'

  Metagross was still t, while Lucario had calmly stepped aside.
