Journey Towards Greatness

Julian decided to wait for Candice to make her first move since Cranidos's movement might be restricted on the slippery ice he decided to see what the opponent has in store for him and Cranidos.

Candice noticed that Cranidos might have a hard time moving around with those rock hard feet which are not suitable for movement in ice at all.

Candice "Sneasel, use Quick Attack"

Candice made her move by calling out a Quick Attack, Sneasel moved quickly, moving in a zig-zag pattern on ice, it was something that Cranidos cannot do so Sneasel has a lot of advantage over him but that doesn't mean Cranidos is helpless, his defense is good while his one attack can change the whole damn thing.

And to land that you need a chance and Julian is always looking for a chance to turn the favor on his side.

Julian waited for the last moment to see how Sneasel moves on ice, reading opponents who are hard to catch can help a lot before Sneasel can land an attack Julian quickly made a call.

Julian "Use Double Team"

Cranidos quickly made copies of himself and dodged the Quick Attack, Sneasel went right through one of the fake images of Cranidos.

Julian "Now Iron Tail"

Cranidos quickly moved towards the confused Sneasel and swung his tail towards Sneasel with full power.

Candice "Dodge, then use Metal Claw"

Julian "Protect"

Cranidos suddenly created a forcefield in front of him blocking the Metal Claw, the forcefield disappeared but Sneasel was right in front of Cranidos, just the chance Julian is waiting for.

Julian "Flame Thrower"

Cranidos burst out a Flame Thrower right on Sneasel.

Candice "Use Shadow Ball to counter"

Sneasel is fast, it quickly created a Shadow Ball and sent it crashing towards the Flame Thrower, the two attacked clashed and blasted causing both Sneasel and Cranidos to take a hit since both of them have a weak Special Defense, the magnitude of that exchange hurt them both.

Cranidos was sent rolling on the ice while the lighter Sneasel went flying and crashed on the ice cracking it.

Both of them soon get back to their feet but Cranidos got that last kick he needed, he suddenly started to glow and grow bigger, the bulge on his head grew thicker and long intimidating spikes grew on his head.

Cranidos finally evolved into Rampardos, he finally evolved after suppressing it for so long, his body is pulsing with energy that is going to burst out any moment.

With all that energy contained inside him, he is ready to burst out, his weight increased meaning the ice won't cause him much trouble anymore, where ever he is stepping the ice beneath him is getting destroyed and giving his a nice grip.

Seeing that Julian's Cranidos has evolved into Rampardos.

Candice 'This is getting harder than I thought'

She thought and looked at Sneasel, Sneasel seemed nervous. After Cranidos evolved he became more intimidating, his aura became more destructive and ancient just like he is.

Julian "Rampardos, let's do this"

Candice "Sneasel be careful, let's move, Quick Attack"

Sneasel moved fast and started to run around Rampardos as fast as he can to throw off Rampardos.

Julian "Rampardos, now, Earthquake"

Rampardos suddenly slammed his foot on the ice floor sending energy into the ground causing it to tremor and shake as hard as possible, Sneasel got on the receiving end of the Earthquake and got hit hard and crashed on the ground once again, this time it didn't want to give up.

Sneasel got back to its feet looking back at Rampardos, it really wanted to go all out even if it was intimidated by Rampardos.

Sneasel looked back at Candice and stared at her seriously, it told her something that only Candice might understand.

Candice "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Candice asked and Sneasel nodded.

Candice "Ok then"

She said and tossed something at Sneasel, it was a single sharp curved claw, it is a Razor Claw.

Sneasel grabbed it and suddenly started to glow, Sneasel started to evolve, this was not against the rules so Julian didn't mind it at all.

Sneasel evolved into Weavile, as it evolved Weavile got more confidence in fighting Rampardos, the giant ancient monster.

Candice "Let's do this, Weavile use Night Slash"

Julian "Rampardos, let's finish this, one move, Head Smash"

With the command Rampardos charged up, all of his energy gathered at his dome, he rubbed his heavy foot sending the ice beneath his feet.

He rushed towards Weavile who is also charging at him using Night Slash, they clashed and with a huge boom, Weavile was sent flying through the air crashing right into the wall behind Candice, the power behind that Head Smash was devastating, even if Weavile used all its power it couldn't compare with the raw power behind Rampardos attack.

It was all over in a second.

Candice was in shock right now, she thought that evolving Sneasel into Weavile would help her a lot, that is what Weavile also thought but it was over in a second.

She turned around and looked at her Weavile who is stuck behind the wall knocked out cold.

Referee "Weavile is unable to battle, Rampardos wins".
