The only one who wasn't shivering out of Saber, Area, and Granmarg was, of course, the small, energetic fire-type. As he walked toward the center of the Poké Ball-shaped battleground, an impact from the side knocked Josh and Ares off their feet, sending them sliding across the ice. They were only able to recover their footing just in time to avoid going sliding off the platform and into the frigid water. Poking its tongue at them was a Seel that was easily a story and a half in height. Josh had chosen to battle with one of these because he needed an aquatic steed to explore Ostellia's flooded zones with. Dewgong were strong and big enough to support his weight while being foe that was not too high of a level. The saddle also did not require a high level to craft, which was a plus. The ear-piercing cry made Josh turn his in-game volume down as the battle started, the boss health meter filling up at the top of his UI. Was that eight HP bars? He did select Easy mode, right? Combat Log> Seel readies Icy Wind. Crystal shards flew the team's way, Josh taking shelter behind Granmarg as a very cold ICY WIND swirled around his entire team. The damage it inflicted upon even Granmarg was devastating. Combat Log> Granmarg readies Strength. Combat Log> Ares readies Fire Fang. Combat Log> Saber readies Spark. Rearing, the ground-type charged and stomped hard, with enough STRENGTH to break off a piece of the ice. The rough waves forced the Seel onto the larger ice platform, where Saber could ram and kick the water-type with a powerful SPARK attack. While it was still reeling from the shock, Ares added gash to smash by chomping into one of its fins with his FIRE FANG. All of that coordination seemed to barely make a dent in the foe. Did he need to bring six electric Pokémon with him to defeat such a behemoth?

Another wave of shards materialized around the trio of fighters. Seeing their distance, the water-type instead reared and clapped its flippers together. The ice flew toward Josh's team, threatening to slice them apart like knives would. Saber and Area were quick enough to turn the attack into a glancing blow, but Granmarg's low speed made him unable to avoid a solid hit. He was designed to take hits. Why wasn't the Seel using Water-type attacks? It was a Water-type Pokémon. Could it be? Did the low-level Seel have no Water-type attacks? Maybe this battle was winnable after all. Combat Log> Granmarg readies High Horsepower. Combat Log> Ares readies Ember. Combat Log> Saber readies Thunder Wave. Granmarg reared and kicked at the water-type's flipper, nearly whiffing, but barely catching a piece of outer blubber. The attack was almost harmless. It did, however, distract the boss long enough for Ares to grab his tail, EMBERS flying and dancing alongside Saber's weak but quick THUNDER WAVE. Things were looking good; a little under half the work was done. If this was a respectable raid boss, it would have something horrible planned at certain HP thresholds. "Once we take it below half, we gotta push as hard as we can!" Josh cheered for his team, Ares sounding a war cry and Saber barking loudly in approval. There were no words from either of the Pokémon; they put all their focus into bringing Josh the victory.

Combat Log> Ares readies Ember. Growing tired of being pelted with EMBER showers and electricity, the Seel slid beneath Granmarg in an effort to get back into the water, but not before the horse threw quite the tantrum. Good thing Josh was standing on the opposite ice floe, otherwise the BULLDOZING attack's wake would have knocked him off his feet and into the chilly water! His other two Pokémon dug their claws into the ice for balance, staying on their feet. Granmarg made a low leap to a more stable part of the ice floe, the Seel diving into the channel to hide from Saber. It was exactly what Josh wanted to happen. Call it AI manipulation, call it luck, call it anything he wanted. It was working. Combat Log> Saber readies Thunder Wave. With a howl and a bark, the electric dog loosed a THUNDER WAVE not at the Seel, but within the channel itself. The electricity spread like a web, dancing across the surface and beneath it, electrocuting anything nearby. The powerful shock forced their foe back to the surface. Combat Log> Seel readies Icy Wind. Realizing hiding in the water was futile, the water-type crawled back to the ice's surface. Lowering its horn, a vicious ICY WIND blew outward from it, this one stronger than the last. Ares, Saber, and Granmarg all let out screeches, whinnies, and other cries of pain, the fire and electric Pokémon blinking red. A grating low health siren played in Josh's ears, their respective life bars in the corner of his UI also blinking red. That "LIMIT" meter was also dangerously close to filling. Nothing good could happen if that gauge completely filled...

He felt miserable about doing it, but he recalled Saber and hurled Xira into the arena. The Yanma's purpose was not to go on the offense, but to absorb the wart-popping cold that his Pokémon would be subject to. One blessing to not being able to fight on his own was not having to worry about his own HP! That stayed nice and topped off, all of the Seel's attacks gliding right around him. Combat Log> Ares readies Slash. Combat Log> Granmarg readies Stomp. The Yanma zipped about, serving as a distraction for their water-type foe while both of Josh's other Pokémon moved in, one STOMPING at one flipper while the other SLASHED at it. The Pokémon's thick fat kept damage to a minimum, putting it just over 25 percent. In Josh's eyes, that was a key threshold to not go below until he was ready to swoop in for the kill. Combat Log> Seel readies Icy Wind. How wrong he was as their foe blew another freezing gust of ICY WIND at them. Granmarg was in pain, the repeated strong hits cracking into even his high vitality. Ares let out a scream as layers of frost formed on him, encasing him in ice. Though the flame on his tail remained lit, it was no longer animated while he was frozen. That was the least of Josh's worries, as a red alert message popped up on his UI: Alert> Seel's LIMIT BREAK is ready. Combat Log> Ares has fallen. Please replace Ares with a reserve member. Josh only had one reserve member that wasn't Saber. Hurling Raiden's Poké Ball in front of the Charmander-sickle, he said a prayer to Raikou that the Blitzle could survive whatever desperation move the boss had ready.

Josh turned away from the battle, grabbed onto the sturdiest piece of ice he could find, and held on tight. This attack was going to be big, and he expected it to wipe out all his active Pokémon. Thankfully for Josh, the limit attack had a long charge time, letting him get attacks in with each of his Pokémon. Combat Log> Xira readies Quick Attack. Combat Log> Raiden readies Spark. Combat Log> Granmarg readies High Horsepower. The Seel rearing to prepare its desperation attack exposed its soft belly to a slashing QUICK ATTACK from Xira. There was no recoil; it seemed the water-type was locked in whatever pre-attack animation it was in. Even stomps from Granmarg's HIGH HORSEPOWER and the electric sphere of Raiden's SPARK did little to stop the limit attack. A stylized text banner appeared in the center of Josh's UI, looking like jagged shards of ice chaotically assembling into the text "GLACIER FORCE" as though it were assembled by wind. A enormous twister of blister-inducing cold wind blew toward all of Josh's Pokémon, sharp ice crystals whistling inside at incredible speeds. Each was a dagger that cut cleanly through any Pokémon it touched. "I'm so sorry, Xira..." Josh solemnly let out the words as both she and Granmarg suffered extremely heavy blows, even the stout Mudsdale's life bar and model blinking red. The return of the obnoxious low health warning was unwelcome, as well. Combat Log> Xira has fallen. Please replace Xira with a reserve member. It was all part of the plan. Having survived the foe's desperation attack, the battle was Josh's to command, especially with two electric Pokémon ready to double-team it. After returning to a Shrine to get his Pokémon patched up, he would have to reward Xira with a treat for her bravery.

Combat Log> Raiden readies Discharge. Combat Log> Saber readies Spark. Combat Log> Granmarg readies Bulldoze. Josh's heart beat fast as the Seel whipped up another whirlwind of ICE SHARDS, though this one not nearly as intense as the previous. The messages came up so fast that Josh was completely uncertain whether his critical-health Pokémon would get their attacks off in time. With Xira and Ares both encased in ice, if none of his Pokémon could contain the storm of crystalline projectiles, Just would find himself in deep trouble; he still wasn't sure if a party wipe would simply boot him from the Arena or send him to the Everworld. Though Saber and Granmarg were quick enough by their proximity to the water-type, Raiden was not, whinnying in pain as the cold wind and bladed ammunition left the electric horse barely able to control himself. He was the last Pokémon standing, covered in frostbite. The DISCHARGE raced past his four frozen compatriots, a white flash indicating the CRITICAL HIT. A second and third white flash prompted the young man to exhale, the Seel slowly dissolving away while tense music and the low health siren blared in his ears. He and his frostbitten Pokémon struck a victory pose with the playing of an accompanying fanfare, along with golden text across the center of his UI: CONGRATULATIONS! Information> You may claim 10 ARENA POINTS or add the defeated SEEL to your party. Decision> Arena Points ► Seel Information> Please name your captured SEEL. At last, Josh would have an aquatic steed... once the Seel evolved and he was sufficient level. Route 7 would be his to explore. As for a name? He hummed and hawed for a while before deciding on Ulysses. He was hoping for a female, because he had a much better name in mind for a female. With the Seel being a male, though, it was the best he could come up with. Decision> Is Ulysses okay? ► Yes No After a quick trip to a nearby Shrine to get his Pokémon patched up, it would be time to level grind for that Dewgong saddle!
